I was so excited when One Piece Chapter 1182 finally came out in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #24 on May 10th! It was great to be back in the world of One Piece after a two-week break, and thankfully, Chapter 1183 is coming this week on May 24th, continuing the awesome climax of the Elbaf Arc. Right now, all eyes are on Zoro and Sanji – the author actually hinted way back in Chapter 1152 that they were both in for some huge power-ups, and I can’t wait to see it happen!
In One Piece chapter 1182, Zoro and Sanji are being positioned to face powerful new opponents, Super Sommers and Super Killingham. This setup strongly suggests they’ll receive a significant boost to their Haki abilities. This upgrade will likely make them stronger than the Admirals, placing them at a level comparable to the Emperors of the Sea (Yonko).
One Piece Chapter 1182 Sets Up Zoro And Sanji’s Supreme King Haki Upgrades Vs Super Sommers and Super Killingham
Within the Straw Hat Pirates, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji – known as the Monster Trio – have consistently been the most powerful fighters. As captain, it’s natural that Luffy is the strongest, and that’s even more true now that he’s officially a Yonko, a title confirmed in One Piece chapter 1053 (published June 20, 2022). Since then, Luffy has demonstrated incredible strength, surpassing even the Marine Admirals.
I’m here to take you down. Honestly, I don’t know what’s been going on outside, but apparently, we’re the ones they’re calling the Four Emperors now! — Eustass Kid to Luffy in One Piece Chapter 1053
Zoro and Sanji, similar to Luffy, are already incredibly powerful, proven by their ability to defeat high-ranking opponents in Wano Country. However, if Luffy hopes to become the Pirate King, they both need to become even stronger.
Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, has compared Zoro and Sanji to Silvers Rayleigh and Scopper Gaban – powerful figures from the series who could defeat even the strongest Marines and Emperors. This comparison emphasizes just how strong Zoro and Sanji are becoming, and it’s been established that Rayleigh and Gaban achieved their power through Supreme King Haki. The recent climax of the Elbaf arc, specifically chapter 1182, officially sets up a power boost for both Zoro and Sanji using this same Haki. This is a thrilling development for fans who have been waiting to see them reach Luffy’s level and surpass the Marine Admirals in strength.
Zoro: Hey, get the job done right!
Sanji: Right back at you!
— Zoro and Sanji preparing to fight Sommers and Killingham, One Piece Chapter 1182
In the latest chapter of One Piece, Zoro and Sanji are set to face off against Super Sommers and Super Killingham, two powerful members of the Holy Knights. These opponents have been significantly enhanced by Imu using a special ability called an Omen. Their new power level is expected to be comparable to that of the Marines’ Admirals. This development strongly suggests that both Zoro and Sanji will need to improve their Conqueror’s Haki – a powerful ability previously identified by Scopper Gaban as the key to defeating the Holy Knights. With this upgrade, Zoro and Sanji are predicted to surpass even the Admirals in strength, eventually reaching a level comparable to the most powerful pirates, the Yonko.
If we can land enough blows, we can take him down. These guys are especially vulnerable to anyone who can empower their attacks with the Color of the Supreme King!” — Scopper Gaban in One Piece Chapter 1070
Zoro and Sanji’s New Upgrades Will Take Them From Yonko Commander Level Beyond Admiral Level
Zoro and Sanji are already incredibly powerful pirates, with bounties exceeding 1 billion berries each. However, their recent battles against the highest-level opponents like Imu suggest they need to become even stronger in the final arc of the story. It’s likely that Sanji will unlock the power of the Supreme King, and Zoro will fully master his abilities, leading to significant power boosts during the events in Elbaf and finally elevating them to a new level of strength.
Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji have already demonstrated the ability to fight and even overpower incredibly strong opponents, like the Yonko and Admirals, as seen in the Wano Country and Egghead arcs. With their recent Haki upgrades, particularly in Elbaf, they’re on track to become powerful enough to consistently rival and surpass even the strongest characters in the series. Zoro’s fight with Kaido and Sanji’s feat of destroying Kizaru’s laser are prime examples of their immense potential, and combining this with Supreme King Haki will likely push them beyond the level of the Admirals.

One Piece’s Final Saga Will Make The Monster Trio Surpass The Roger Pirates
The upcoming Elbaf arc will likely elevate Zoro and Sanji to the same power level as Luffy, who is already one of the strongest pirates in the world, a Yonko. The difference in strength between them will have narrowed considerably, making Zoro and Sanji incredibly powerful forces. This would allow the ‘Monster Trio’ – Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji – to potentially defeat all three of the Navy Admirals simultaneously, a remarkable accomplishment never before seen in the manga’s 29-year history.
Despite mastering Conqueror’s Haki, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji still need to get even stronger as they prepare for a major war against the World Government. This growth is necessary for the Straw Hats to exceed the legendary power of the Roger Pirates, a challenge even Roger himself foresaw, as hinted at in One Piece Chapter 968, originally published on January 20, 2020.
“Those voices… they must be right. There will be someone born later who will be even stronger than we are!” — Gol D. Roger, One Piece Chapter 968
For the Monster Trio to achieve their ultimate goal, they need to become incredibly powerful, even stronger than the other Emperors (Yonko) in the world of One Piece. The recent events in the Elbaf Arc have put them on track to surpass the Admirals, but they still have a long way to go before they can challenge the Five Elders and other top officials of the World Government. However, with each step they take, Eiichiro Oda is steadily building them up to become the most powerful trio in One Piece, capable of defeating any enemy.
