This post contains spoilers from One Piece's Elbaf Arc.

Key Takeaways

• Sanji is the fastest member of the Straw Hat Pirates
• Sanji's speed is at a level that even Observation Haki can't keep up with
• Sanji has the ability to exceed light speed in the future.

The Straw Hat Wars are a powerful series and fans have seen them grow stronger with each arc One piece. By now, the Straw Hats have become world famous, as they are now a Yonko team. Of course, the Straw Hat Pirates have strong Commanders, all of whom have built a reputation for themselves over the years. While some are known for their expertise or niche skills such as cartography, others are known for their engineering skills.

On the other hand, there are some who are good at fighting and have great physical strength, while others excel at speed. When it comes to personal speed, fans know that only a few straw hats stand out. Among fans, the question of the fastest straw hat has been around for a long time, and now the answer can be given to them.

The fastest straw hat contenders

• The Straw Hat Pirates have some of the most skilled warriors
• Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji are very fast

Of course, not all Straw Hats are good at speed. There are some who don't just rely on speed in battle and that includes the likes of Jinbe, Usopp, Chopper, and Nami. Others are relatively quick and quickly incorporate it into their fighting style in one way or another. Brook is an example of a very fast straw hat. Fans know that he is a swordsman, and his speed in short range combat is incredible. Brook is mostly invisible, which means he is very fast. However, he is far from the fastest Straw Hat One piece.

Leaving Brook, known by fans as one of the fastest, there are Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji. These are three of the strongest characteristics of the Straw Hat Pirates in general, and they are also among the fastest. Of course, the least fast of the three is none other than the Strawhat Pirates Spy, Zoro. Fans know that Zoro is a very strong person with great physical strength. However, in terms of speed, Zoro is not much higher than the other two. That's not to say Zorro isn't fast. His fans have seen the movement of objects that can move at lightning speed, and he can move faster than the eye can see. But, compared to the other two, Zoro is not very fast.

Speed ​​is weight! – Kizaru

It takes one for Luffy. Luffy is known to be very fast, arguably one of the fastest characters in the entire series. With Snakeman's powers, Luffy becomes so fast that he defeats Kaido in battle. Meanwhile, Luffy's speed increased further in Gear 5, and fans saw this again in the Egghead Island arc. Luffy is capable of fighting against the likes of Kizaru, and even though he is not fast, fans know that his speed is truly monstrous. But, even Luffy isn't the fastest member of the Straw Hat Pirates. This title is clear to the cook, Sanji.

Why Sanji is the fastest straw hat in One Piece

Sanji's speed was great

Sanji is, easily, the fastest member of the Straw Hat Pirates. From the beginning of the story, Oda made Sanji rely more on speed than anyone else. That doesn't mean Sanji doesn't have powers. In fact, Sanji is very powerful and can hold his own against anyone. But, in terms of speed, he is in a completely different field. Sanji's speed is such that he can often move faster than the eye can see. In fact, even skilled users of Observation Haki are often unable to track it, which is quite unbelievable. The fact is that Sanji was able to reach the next level of speed in the Wano Country arcs. After gaining his ultimate power which caused a genetic mutation and gave him strength, Sanji was able to move so fast that he became invisible.

Love is stronger than light! – Sanji

Oda himself mentioned Sanji turning missing in SBS. According to him, even though Sanji is very invisible and can't be seen, it's only because of his natural speed and not because of the invisibility associated with a genetic mutation. In general, Sanji can move so fast that even skilled users of Observation Haki can't keep up with him, which just goes to show how fast he is.

R: Odacchi tell me. Osome-chan's “Chuji” mouse is the same mouse that Sanji used to eat when he was a kid! Are they related or what?

O: You remember it well-. Sanji's kindness is evident in his love for mice. They weren't related but I was relieved to see that Germa didn't take Sanji when she found a mouse that looked like her crush at the time. However, Sanji became stronger due to the “power of science” that manifested in his body. He also got the “disappearing power” but it's a relief, it's a speed based thing, he can't use this technique in the bathroom.

This continued in the Egghead Island arc as well. Sanji showed his speed in the fight against Kizaru, blocking his powerful attacks several times. Sanji was fast enough to keep up with Kizaru, and even though he wasn't very fast, fans knew he had a high ceiling. Additionally, Sanji can even move quickly enough to stop an attack from one of his Gorosei and kicks in the blink of an eye. The fact that he was able to get past the powerful Elder's mind, especially the one wielding the katana, showed that his speed was no joke.

Sanji's only rival in the Straw Hat Pirates in terms of speed is Luffy. But, even Luffy had not completely turned in a high-level battle against a skilled Haki Observation user until now. Sanji's speed was completely different, and Oda often pointed it out.

How fast can Sanji get?

Sanji was able to surpass Kizaru in speed at the end of One Piece

Currently, Sanji is already one of the fastest players in One Piece, with only the likes of Kizaru able to beat him. However, Sanji is not at his peak yet. As the Straw Hat Pirates' cook pointed out to Egghead, love is far more powerful than light, meaning that Sanji will continue to grow to the point where he can even surpass light.

Perhaps, this will be Sanji's peak. Fans know that he will have to surpass the likes of the Admirals, especially Kizaru, at some point later on, which means that his ultimate power will be immense and not just strong enough to fight them. . , but he may also be fast enough to compete with and possibly even surpass the Admiral of the Marines.

Fans can't wait to see Sanji at these levels and it's only a matter of time before he does.

One Piece is available to read on Viz Media. The series can be read by fans officially and for free on Shonen Jump and the Manga Plus app. The release date of the next chapter of One Piece, One Piece 1131, is November 11, 2024.
