Yes — Zoro has Conqueror's Haki, and Gaban says so outright in chapter 1152. What he does not have yet is control: in chapter 1194 Sommers identifies one of his attacks as carrying it, and afterwards Zoro cannot reproduce it. Every chapter on the record, with what each one actually shows.
In a chapter 1194 flashback, Mihawk tells Zoro that Conqueror's Haki cannot be gained by training and that it is "oneself". Here is exactly what he says, how it sits beside Rayleigh's and Gaban's statements, and what it does not settle.
In ONE PIECE 1194, Sommers says Zoro's earlier strike reached his heart without Conqueror's Haki. Zoro then lands one strike Sommers calls coated — it hits a ship, not Sommers — and cannot get it back.
Chapter 1194 never states why Zoro cannot reproduce Conqueror's Haki on demand. It does show three things: Sommers' read on him, Zoro's own words, and Mihawk's lesson. Here is what each one establishes, and where the readings start.
Internal destruction has only two published demonstrations in ONE PIECE: Rayleigh and Luffy. Here is what the source says about it, why Ryuo is not a synonym for it, and why most lists of internal destruction users are counting a different technique.
Observation Killing (見聞殺し) is an advanced Conqueror's Haki technique credited to Shanks in the Volume 4000000000 RED guidebook. It has never appeared in the serialised manga, and the one sentence describing it does not settle the question everyone asks it to settle.
Chapter 1193 is being posted as the moment Zoro's left eye finally opened. We read the Japanese release and checked every panel that shows his face. The eye is drawn closed in all of them, and the chapter never raises the subject.
Zoro wounds Sommers but leaves him alive in ONE PIECE 1193. Loki explains why piercing his steel heart requires a blade coated in Conqueror's Haki.
Most Haki rankings are character rankings wearing a different hat. This one ranks the Haki itself — four separate lists, a published demonstration behind every placement, and a visible confidence rating on each entry. Current through chapter 1194.
Chapter 1192 gives Imu three named weapons for the first time — Chaos Sword, Void Sword, and the shield they combine into — and then has Luffy and Loki break the shield. It also makes the "Imu's black arms are Armament Haki" reading harder to hold.
Garp has four named attacks. Galaxy Impact has the biggest radius, but the only one that ever finished a top-tier opponent is Infinitum Explosion — and Roger threw a technique into the same target at the same moment. Ranked with a chapter behind every line.
What is Shanks' strongest attack? Divine Departure — Kamusari — the Conqueror's Haki slash he inherited from Roger, used in chapter 1079 to drop Kid and Killer in one blow. It is also the only attack of his the manga has ever named.
