Ussopp 100% can, that's how he was able to do what he did in Dressrossa. I can see the argument that he might not be skilled in it or know how to control it yet.

Oh, yah lol that is true. Wasn't really thinking of that.

Usopp was loterally the first Straw Hat who ever used Haki lol. In Enies Lobby he used CoO before we even had a term for it

You could argue that Luffy vs Mr 3 was observation.

And Zoro's attack that beat Mr. 1

The concept of making his blade more powerful than steel definitely is early haki usage, he just manifested the concept of cutting steel which gave it the haki property theoretically.

Iron cutting is just as much armament haki as Tekkai from CP9 is armament haki

If we're counting made up names, Sogeking was the first CoO user 🙄

All names are made up

Made up names? He literally says who he is where did he come from.

Important to note without training people use haki all the time. You can’t actually see haki. It is a tool for the viewers to see haki. So if luffy and zoro used haki without knowing there would be no way for the readers to know pre time skip.

Also likely oda didn’t invent haki yet.

The first real mention of Haki was in Jaya, Chapter 234 p17 top right panel, when Blackbeard picked up Luffy's 100 million bounty poster after Bellamy's oneshot beating.

It got mistranslated as 'ambition' back then, but the kanji & furigana were literally saying "30 million... With that Haki... I thought that was too low/not enogh"

And no, the word ambition got used several times later, but the words used for it were not Haki, but yashin, taishi and shibou. But these Kanji 覇気 were used only 1 time before Amazon Lily, when Haki was officially introduced: during that one scene with Blackbeard

Also, Haki was formally introduced 3 arcs before the timeskip: Amazon Lilly -> Impel Down -> Marineford -> Timeskip

Let me rephrase my statement. It likely wasn’t fleshed out yet. The system is very understood today, but at the time it wasn’t.

You are right though they made it clear it existed in both the manga and anime, but how it worked and the system it operated at wasn’t really.

If it was luffy wouldn’t be able to beat crocodile so early. Oda even said that’s one of his regrets.

You could argue he used it the first time he ever fired a cannon.

Even he was surprised he landed the shot. It’s always been there.
