by

This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Elbaf arc.

Sanji is a notable and formidable crew member of the Straw Hat Pirates, boasting an impressive level of power. While he is commonly recognized as the cook within the team, his combat skills are equally outstanding. Hidden beneath his humble exterior lies immense strength. Recently, during the Wano Country arc, Sanji experienced a significant power boost, enabling him to harness the potent blue flames of Ifrit Jambe – a feat that left fans in awe.

It appears that Sanji isn’t quite at the peak of his growth spree yet. Eiichiro Oda has indeed hinted at a fresh power-up for him, one that promises to be his most substantial transformation yet. With this upgrade, Sanji might just be able to go toe-to-toe with some formidable opponents in the One Piece world, including the Admirals, Yonko, and even the Holy Knights.

Sanji’s Final Transformation Will See Him Use Stronger Flames

  • Sanji will learn Conqueror’s Haki soon
  • His strongest form will soon be revealed

Sanji possesses extraordinary abilities that defy explanation, making him anything but an ordinary human. As a result of experimentation while still in the womb, he has unique powers that manifested later in life, leading to his acquisition of incredible skills such as a robust exoskeleton, increased muscle mass, and remarkable regenerative capabilities. In essence, these traits have transformed Sanji into an extraordinarily powerful character, one who presents a formidable challenge in combat for any adversary. Additionally, his signature Diable Jambe flames have evolved into Ifrit Jambe, now burning hotter than ever before.

Although Sanji currently possesses the strength to engage with characters at the level of Admirals, fans understand that overcoming them requires more power. To achieve this, Oda has planned his next transformation, which will involve Sanji mastering Conqueror’s Haki. This upcoming development in One Piece will reveal a new transformation for Sanji, showcasing his ability to generate hotter and stronger flames. It is crucial to note that Sanji can maintain flames of infinite heat on his legs, but the durability of his body is key. The tougher his body becomes, the hotter he can make his flames. Once he acquires Conqueror’s Haki, he can utilize it to fortify his legs and enhance his durability and endurance. Consequently, his flames will become even hotter, and they are expected to appear black in color.

Upon Sanji’s imminent awakening of Conquerer’s Haki, he will undoubtedly find himself among the most formidable characters within the realm of One Piece. With this extraordinary ability at his disposal, Sanji will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Holy Knights, as well as the Admirals and the Yonko, showcasing a prowess that few others possess. It’s merely a question of when Oda reveals to us all the final metamorphosis of Sanji, adorned with potentially devastating black flames.

Currently, One Piece is immersed in Loki’s flashback during the Elbaf arc, implying that Oda may not jump into the main Elbaf battles immediately. However, when he does, the development and progression of Sanji will be a key aspect eagerly anticipated by fans.

In just a few days, we’ll get to see the latest installment of One Piece in Chapter 1159. As always, this popular manga will be published on a Sunday. In Japan, readers can access it at 12AM JST on Monday morning. However, most international fans will find the chapter available on August 31. Despite its official release date being September 7, 2025, many readers can enjoy it for free ahead of time through Manga Plus.
