Luffy is also one of the few people who can use all three types of haki. He is able to fight Kaido and even defeated him along with the help he received from his comrades.

Shanks is the captain of the Red Hair Pirates and the only Emperor to be there from the former batch. A very little is known about Shanks’ goals, his character and even his abilities as they haven't been shown in their true form. The only time his ability was seen was when he used the Conqueror's haki to scare the Sea King that ate his arm when he saved Luffy as a child. He is also one of the strongest swordsmen as he was able to stop Akainu’s attack with his sword and the aftermath of that attack resulted in the sky to split.
