**_[Haoshoku Haki/Conquerors
Haki](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Haki/Haoshoku_Haki)_** by definition is:

> is a rare form of Haki that cannot be attained through training. Only one in
> several million people have this ability. This type of Haki allows the user
> to exert their willpower over others. It is said that whoever possesses this
> type of Haki has the qualities of a king.

As most have seen watching One Piece this form of Haki has a few displays from
small scale to large. What I am asking is if it is indiscriminate. When
released on a large scale can it spare individuals? I have seen the cases
where single individuals can be targeted by this haki. (i.e. Shanks vs
Seaking, Rayleigh vs Elephant) I know that it has been shown people
withstanding the haki but that seems to be due more to fortitude of the
individual than the user sparing those people. So could a conquerors haki user
spare his/her crew if they know they are weak willed?

Is Conqueror's Haki Indiscriminate?


**No, it isn't indiscriminate.**

It can be used by the user selectively.

As stated in the [Wikia](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Haki/Haoshoku_Haki):

> This type of Haki grants the user the ability to dominate the wills of
> others. The most common usage of it shown in the series so far is using it
> exert the user's willpower onto those with weak wills and rendering them
> unconscious. **Whilst inexperienced users are restricted to merely
> overpowering the will of one individual or blindly knocking out weak-willed
> people around them,** **those with more expertise can pick out weak-willed
> individuals in a large group and knock them out without affecting the
> others.**

An instance of this is shown when Camie isn't knocked out when [Rayleigh uses
it for the first time](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KM1UCHQFpok).
