At Punk Hazard, Luffy’s Haki is generally placed around post–timeskip basic Haki, but not yet advanced Haki. He has strong Armament and Observation compared with most characters in the arc, but he has not reached later forms like advanced Armament or Conqueror’s coating yet.

What that means

  • He can use Armament Haki to boost attacks and defense.
  • He can use Observation Haki for sensing opponents.
  • He is still far below his later Wano-era Haki growth.

Simple power-scaling read

Most fan scaling puts Punk Hazard Luffy somewhere around high YC3 to YC2-ish , depending on how the matchup is framed. That is fan interpretation, not an official Oda ranking, so people argue about it a lot.

In plain language

If you’re asking “how strong is his Haki here?”, the short answer is: good enough to beat many New World fighters, but not at his peak yet. By this point he’s clearly dangerous, but still a work in progress.
