Is Sanji stronger than his brothers now?
1 Vinsmoke Sanji
In Sanji's case, due to having developed an extremely powerful body from years of training, his latent enhancements when fully awakened proved more formidable than his siblings as he could knock down Queen, a cybernetically enhanced Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit user and one of the Beast Pirates' All-Stars.
Sanji beat his brother Yonji because of that Sanji's father, Judge Vinsmoke challenges him to a fight. A flashback reveals how Sanji's family mistreated and bullied him because they viewed him as weak.
Since returning from his training in the Kamabakka Kingdom and entering the New World, Sanji's strength grew exponentially and he has become an even more a powerful combatant, able to fight against some of the strongest pirates and fighters there.
In terms of strength, however, Sanji is certainly much stronger than Jinbe.
However, during the raid on Onigashima, when Sanji started to fear he was becoming heartless like his brothers by wearing the Raid Suit many times, he willingly destroyed it and sacrificed his invisibility powers to protect his crew and his humanity.
While the series has implied on multiple occasions that Zoro can take more of a beating than Sanji could, since his Germa 66 enhancements awakened, it's become significantly harder to hurt Sanji. When it comes to fighting style, they seem to be rather even, but Zoro manages to pull ahead.
Reiju seems to have a fondness for Luffy and saved his life by sucking out the poison in his body via mouth-to-mouth, which she did intensely.
In the Whole Cake Island arc, Pudding tried to help the Straw Hat Pirates, however, she was actually leading them into a trap. She betrayed not just the Straw Hat Pirates but Sanji as well and was planning on killing him and his entire family.
9 Can't Beat: Boa Hanco*ck
Right now, she's one of the strongest characters in the series. Strong as Sanji is, he is not at a level where he can match Hanco*ck yet.
Is Sanji stronger than Nami?
Usopp, Nami, and Brook are among the weaker commanders, but still have valuable abilities. Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro are the strongest members, each with their own unique and powerful abilities.
Yonji is the weakest member of the Vinsmokes out of those actually capable of fighting. He was easily defeated by Sanji after confronting him even with his raid suit and didn't match any of his siblings' feats in battle. He's also the youngest of the bunch, so he's already at a disadvantage in physical ability.
![Is Sanji stronger than his brothers now? (2024)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/71onD23Tcjw/hq720_2.jpg?sqp=-oaymwE2CNAFEJQDSFXyq4qpAygIARUAAIhCGABwAcABBvABAfgBzgWAAoAKigIMCAAQARgfIGUoNjAP&rs=AOn4CLBTvMlW-8ES7m0JUO4aQ4yKg5vskQ)
He has a weakness for women and makes it a principle never to harm one, even if it means his death. Eventually Sanji becomes infamous as "Black Leg" Sanji (黒脚のサンジ, Kuro Ashi no Sanji). In Thriller Bark, he offers to give up his life in exchange for Luffy's.
It is also worth remembering that Sanji held off both King and Queen before Zoro recovered. While Zoro is still stronger than Sanji, the gap between their strengths is not as large as many fans believe. In fact, Oda has highlighted the small gap between the two numerous times.
Thanks to the intense training that he underwent during his time with Zeff, Sanji developed the Black Leg Style and has, thus, based most of his fighting style strictly around kicking. As a cook, Sanji claims that his hands are only made to cook for his friends, and thus, he's developed a powerful kicking technique.
Mihawk possesses tremendous skill that Zoro cannot match at the moment. Although the Straw Hat Swordsman, especially in his King Of Hell form, is very powerful, he still cannot best Mihawk. Much of that is down to the fact that he cannot keep his newfound powers up for long and his Haki is not as refined.
In the Wano Country arc, Sanji came up against Queen, an All-Star of the Beasts Pirates. Kaido's underling tried his best to unsettle Sanji mentally, but the latter remained resolute. Ultimately, Sanji defeated Queen with Ifrit Jambe, his newly created fighting style.
Sanji also proposed marriage to Charlotte Pudding, although they were already arranged to be married and he only did it in order to put himself at peace with this path. Boa Hanco*ck has repeatedly proposed marriage to Luffy, but he always rejects her advances and proposals.
And yes sanji did kiss pudding. I can see them ending up together at the very end of the story. But Oda is not gonna flesh out the romance part.
Sanji Only Uses Kicks To Protect His Chef Hands
While the live-action adaptation does not offer any concrete answer on why he does this, the anime and the manga explain that he uses his legs because he does not want to risk damaging his hands during combat.
Can Sanji defeat Naruto?
All of Sanji's physical attributes have gained a significant power boost, but his signature kicks won't be enough to beat someone like Naruto. If he were to enter Sage Mode, Naruto can sense the kicks coming and act accordingly. It also helps that Naruto is a great hand-to-hand fighter.
Taking Naruto's different Modes into consideration, he'd be the clear winner during a battle with Luffy. It's likely that Naruto would be stronger and more powerful than anything Luffy has ever had to face in the world of One Piece, with Luffy's current Gear 5 paling in comparison.
He is by far the fastest character in One Piece, and it is mainly due to his devil fruit. Kizaru possesses the Pika Pika no Mi, a Logia-type devil fruit, and it allows him to control light at will. It also enables him to travel at the speed of light, making him faster than any other One Piece character.
Clearly, Vivi has a deep love and admiration for the Straw Hat crew. However, that's where the relationship ends. There was never anything that deeply personal between Luffy and Vivi. Plus, Vivi literally has her childhood friend, Koza, acting as a more direct and consistent relationship.
It's revealed that Pudding was the one who shot Reiju, and is only stringing Sanji along. It turns out that Pudding absolutely hates the idea of marrying Sanji, and takes on a completely different personality than she had shown to Sanji in the past.
