Gaban's attack could therefore represent a more advanced application of the same fundamental concept. Rather than simply overwhelming an opponent with spiritual pressure, Haki may potentially be shaped and directed into attacks capable of causing direct physical destruction.
This possibility would significantly expand the known applications of Haki in One Piece. Throughout the story, readers have seen Haki used to strengthen physical attacks, enhance weapons, sense opponents and overwhelm weaker individuals. Advanced Conqueror's Haki has also allowed powerful characters to coat their attacks with an extraordinary form of energy.
If the interpretation surrounding Gaban is eventually confirmed, the ability to launch Haki as independent offensive projectiles could become another crucial weapon in the final stages of the story. It would also raise questions about whether other elite Haki users, including Luffy and Shanks, are capable of achieving a similar technique.

The timing of this development is particularly interesting because the manga is approaching increasingly important conflicts involving the World Government. As Luffy and his allies confront stronger enemies, the boundaries of Haki may become just as important as the powers granted by Devil Fruits.
