<p>When Shanks boars the Mobydick you see that many members of the crew almost faint even if he is still kinda restraining himself.

It is true that somehow a tired Law managed to withstand Fujitora tremendous gravity powers, but I doubt your &quot;average Joe&quot; could do the same and withstand Yonko level of Haki pressure.

Good examples, but I think it is important that all the most destructive cases involved the **clashing** of two extremely powerful wills, often amplified by them infusing it into weapons. If one Conqueror's Haki user is targeting a weaker user directly, the worst we've seen is them fainting (i.e. their willpower being crushed, not them physically). It's possible this becomes another "advanced" application, but neither Kaido nor Big Mom did it and very few remaining antagonists have the potential to be Conqueror's Haki users.

@TheGamer007 point is that you see Haki breaking the wood on a ship. The crew "only" faints, but those aren't average humans. My argument is that if Shank Haki can cause damage to reinforced wood, it probably can cause physical damage to normal persons too.

That is interesting. But I think crushing someone's will would be easier than applying pressure to kill them. As the later seems like just the side effect of haki.

<p>We know that conqueror's haki is said to be strongest haki that only a few people are lucky enough possess from birth. But so far it has only be used to telepathically knock people unconscious or make your attacks stronger.</p>
<p>Is it possible to kill someone without touching them using only this haki? If yes will it look any different from scaring someone to death?</p>

There have been no examples of this and there isn't enough information at this time to make a prediction. I personally don't find it likely due to certain developments at the end of the Wano arc.

Can people be killed with conqueror's haki alone?

You say "**only** be used to telepathically knock people unconscious or make your attacks stronger" but apparently Haki is capable of applying actual pressure on objects too.
