How Sanji dismembered Killingham in the latest chapter.
In One Piece Chapter 1176, the battle between Sanji and Saint Killingham begins. Most fans expected Killingham to be a huge challenge for Sanji. After all, he was a famous paladin known as one of the most powerful figures in Imu. But the reality was quite different. Despite his strength, Killingham stood absolutely no chance against Sanji in battle. In fact, the Straw Hat Pirates' chef completely dismantled him in the blink of an eye.
In this chapter, it was clear that Sanji had decapitated Killingham and cut his body into several parts. The Straw Hats continued to tie him up to prevent him from regenerating. With these powers, Sanji is far beyond the level of most Paladins, which shows how far he has come as Luffy's left wing.
Oda shows that the Straw Hat Chef has become even stronger.
Power-ups in One Piece don't necessarily have to come through new abilities. For example, Sanji got his final power-up in the Wano Country arc with Ifrit Jambe. However, since then he has not gained any abilities. Despite this, he still got much stronger. This is because over time, Sanji became accustomed to Ifrit Jambe's power and further improved his Haki. With each progressive arc, Sanji becomes stronger, even if he doesn't gain new abilities, and this is the kind of silent power-up that Oda has always consistently given not only to him, but to all of the Straw Hats.
in one piece In Chapter 1177, Sanji even said that he was completely disappointed in Killingham's power. He expected Imu's royal guard to become stronger and pose a greater challenge. The only thing Killingham found difficult to counter was his immortality, but the Straw Hats found a way around this. Clearly the entire crew has come very far and Sanji, one of the Pirate King's wings, has now shown himself to be incredibly overpowered.

How to make Luffy's left hand stronger
At this point in the story, Sanji is very strong, but it is clear that he needs to become stronger. The enemies ahead will be much more difficult to take down, such as the Five Elders, the Blackbeard Pirates, and possibly even more dangerous enemies. Therefore, the Straw Hats and the rest of the pirate crew need bigger power-ups. In particular, Sanji will need access to the Conqueror's Haki, and One Piece Chapter 1177 teased this power-up once again, with Oda saying that there is a way to permanently defeat the Paladin. Clearly, Oda is slowly working towards getting Sanji the Conqueror's Haki, and it's only a matter of time before he masters this skill.

Assessing Sanji's overall power level after Elbaf
At this point, Sanji is approaching the level of Admirals and Yonko in the One Piece world. He was able to defeat Queen in Wano, and has since taken his abilities to new levels. Sanji could easily defeat guys like King and Katakuri right now. He was able to destroy Kizaru's laser on Egghead, and in an all-out conflict he would be able to hold his own against the Admiral without much trouble.
In Elbaf, Sanji seems to have become even stronger, and if he gains the power of the Conqueror's Haki any time soon, he will essentially be on the same level as the Admirals and Emperors of the One Piece universe.
Given that Sanji has a very strong bloodline element and powerful Haki that allows him to maintain a very hot flame, he is already one of the strongest men in the world with his abilities. Looks like he'll get stronger soon. By the end of One Piece, Sanji will have become one of the most powerful characters in the entire world, rivaling Luffy and the other top echelons of the sea.
One Piece Chapter 1178 will be available to read on Manga Plus on March 29, 2026.
