That being said, this is a long way away, and we will see many other uses for the Gomu fruit in the mean time.
This is, of course, assuming that he attains a high level of mastery over Haki to the point where he gets really proficient at using it (which would not be any time soon). In the meantime though, his short uncontrolled bursts of Haki will not be enough to challenge the might of the top tiers. Furthermore, given how much experience the elites have in fighting, I would think they would know how to deal with formidable Haki users. All of them must have encountered powerful Haki users at some point.
