When a Devil Fruit user is locked with Kairoseki, is there any affect on his
Haki abilities. Like in episode 627, couldn't luffy use Conqueror's Haki when
he was in the cage made of Kairoseki?

What effect does Kairoseki's have on Haki?


It wasn't really explained. We still don't know about the full extent of Haki
or Kairōseki. Plus episode 627 is a filler so I wouldn't take what happens in
there seriously, it is not canon. The anime is notorious for contradicting
itself. Oda might explain Haki and Kairōseki more in the manga later on.

Kairoseki has no effect on haki. Rayleigh could use Haki while being chained
in the auction house ( during the sabaody archipelago arc).Also haki is inborn
quality in every living thing in one piece world as said by Rayleigh. And
kairoseki only affects devil fruit users. Non devil fruit users are not
affected by kairoseki. So they can use haki however they like still being
chained.

As i see it, the Kairoseki (sea stone was a translation i once memorized)
makes the devil-fruit user physically weak, unable to move. And as you know,
Luffy's ability is pretty much physical in any aspect, meaning when he feels
weakened in his body, he also starts to feel helpless in his mind (until
emotions tend to make him go berserk). Apparently that's just enough to make
him lose his inner cool and not be able to use haki as he wished to.

Just my 2 cents...

[According to Smoker](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Chapter_169),
[Kairoseki](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Seastone#Effects_on_Devil_Fruit_Users)
works to incapacitate devil fruit eaters because it gives off the same
wavelength as the sea. In addition, [Shanks used Haoshoku no
Haki](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3iSqsrEsDI) on the sea monster that
took his arm while swimming. That means Haki is unaffected by the sea's
wavelength and therefore unaffected by Kairoseki.

There are many situations where Luffy could use Haoshoku no Haki and chooses
not to, especially on Whole Cake Island. So I think it is fair to assume he
cannot use it in every situation. Because we cannot yet know exactly what
situations he can use it in, we should look at the situations in which he does
and compare. [Everytime Luffy uses his Haoshoku no
Haki](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4o8ARK0AgcU), he is in one of two
states: either in a totally desperate situation or in perfect health while
calm and collected. In episode 627, however, he is not in a totally desperate
situation (although Chopper is being beaten, he is not in danger of dying) and
Luffy is not perfectly calm and collected.

It may be fair, then, to assume Luffy could not use his Haoshoku no Haki in
this particular instance.
