The seed

The payoff

Earliest known caller

(Unrecorded.)

Why this matters

Oda hid the wielder at 1151 to make the reveal a payoff. The two candidates floated at the time — the awakening Gaban and the chained Loki — were both red herrings; the Haki was Luffy/Nika’s own, reframing the scale of his presence in the Underworld. See Luffy’s Secret Underworld Encounter at Elbaf, Prince Loki, Scopper Gaban.
