One Piece 1130: What to Expect from the Chapter
Luffy's group continues exploring Elbaf while Nico Robin's group attempts to regroup with the others in One Piece 1130.
When it comes to Sanji's strength One pieceFans know that Wano was a big step forward for him as he got a new power-up in Ifrit Jambe. At the same time, Sanji also awakened the latent scientific abilities that came from Judge's experiments on him while he was still in the womb. Undoubtedly, Sanji showed a drastic rate of growth in Wano, but now in Elbaf he has taken things a step further and reached an even higher level of power.
Sanji's Ifrit Jambe ability and how he awakened it
- Sanji used Ifrit Jambe in Wano Country
- Ifrit Jambe uses both fire and lightning
The Wano Country bow was huge for almost every Straw Hat. However, the Monster Trio certainly saw the most growth out of the entire crew. Fans already know that Wano was the most significant arc for Luffy. Not only did he awaken the powers of Advanced Armament and Supreme King Haki, but he also simultaneously harnessed the power of Devil Fruit Awakening and gained access to Gear 5. Combining all the skills he had learned, Luffy was able to defeat Kaido, one of the Emperors of the Sea . As for Zoro, fans know that he managed to get a new sword, Enma, which greatly increased his power. Zoro was able to bring forth his hidden Conqueror's Haki and use this power to defeat King.
More mass, more acceleration! -Sanji
Sanji, on the other hand, also saw dramatic growth. Wano was incredibly important to him. Sanji first used the power of the Raid Suit, which he acquired on Whole Cake Island. After using it three times, Sanji felt his body react strangely. Somehow the Raid Suit had triggered and rebooted its suspended genetic mutation. Over time, Sanji's body began to show great changes and eventually he developed an exoskeleton, gained more muscle mass, and all of his physical attributes were greatly improved. All of this was indicated by Sanji's eyebrow swiveling in the opposite direction. Thanks to his new exoskeleton, Sanji was now able to endure even hotter flames on his legs and body in general. This is exactly why he was able to develop a new power called Ifrit Jambe. Ifrit Jambe's flames are blue in color and also produce lightning.
Essentially, Sanji could electrocute and burn his opponents at the same time, frying them from the inside out. Sanji first used this ability in the fight against Queen, and much to the surprise of fans, he was able to get rid of him with just a single attack. It was no problem for him to defeat the queen at all, and fans know that he could have defeated even stronger enemies like the king and held his own against emperors like an emperor for a longer period of time.
However, fans also knew that Sanji was far from the level of an emperor and definitely not as strong as an admiral. But all of these things just meant that he had to become even stronger, which he is now doing in One Piece's Elbaf arc.
Sanji's new mastery over Ifrit Jambe in Elbaf
Sanji has once again exceeded his limits in Elbaf
It's easy for fans to see that Sanji uses Ifrit Jambe more often in Elbaf. When Nami was attacked by Iskat, Sanji didn't hold back and used an epaule strike against the cat. Even more recently, in One piece In Chapter 1129, fans saw Sanji using Ifrit Jambe again. Curiously, Sanji used this ability in a completely different way in this chapter, essentially confirming that he has become even stronger.
When Road, also known as the Sun God, trapped the Straw Hat Pirates with a steel net in One Piece Chapter 1129, Sanji and Zoro were the ones who responded by hitting that net and breaking it into pieces. While Zoro made an unknown attack, Sanji attacked Ifrit Jambe again and only fired a regular kick to break the net. What was surprising here was the fact that Sanji didn't use his Germa powers at all.
Love is stronger than light! -Sanji
For those who don't remember, in order for Sanji to use Ifrit Jambe, he must absolutely harness the power of the Germa mutation, otherwise he will not have access to the exoskeleton, increased muscle mass, or his physical attributes enhanced. All of these things are necessary for Sanji to be able to endure hotter flames on his legs. However, in One piece In Chapter 1129, Sanji held Ifrit Jambe on his feet without even using the power of his Germa Mode.

One Piece: The Straw Hat Pirates' True Vice-Captain, Explained
Many fans believe that Zoro is the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates. However, this is not the case.
This essentially means that Sanji has strengthened both his legs and his Haki to the point where he no longer needs to use his scientific mutations to survive Ifrit Jambe. This essentially suggests that Sanji's Haki level has evolved tremendously, as has his base strength. At the moment, Sanji is able to defeat Yonko commanders without even using his scientific mutation, which just shows how far he has come despite not having fought a major battle since Queen.
How strong is Sanji currently?
Sanji is stronger than a Yonko commander
After the events of the Wano Country Arc, it could be concluded that Sanji was on the same level as the strongest Yonko right-handers. In fact, one could have made a case for Sanji defeating the vast majority of them. But now fans can be assured that he is at a higher level. At this point, Sanji can easily defeat the vast majority of Yonko right-handers and is well above them.
Sanji even had run-ins with Admiral Kizaru in Egghead and was able to shatter his lasers with a single kick, suggesting that his love is even stronger than Kizaru's light. Sanji performed a physics-defying feat there, and later became the only character to actually injure Nusjuro in the story arc, once again demonstrating his high level of strength. Sanji is clearly approaching admiral level and by the end of the Elbaf arc he should be just as strong as them, meaning that once Elbaf is completed he should be ready to deal with the biggest threats without too much trouble. Fans will just have to sit back and watch Sanji grow and reach the next level of strength as Elbaf continues.
