Zoro and Sanji's previous enemies and current levels
- Zoro defeated the king
- Sanji defeated the queen
Zoro and Sanji have continued to grow in the post-timeskip. one piece. Arguably the most notable growth they showed came from Wanoak. They both get a huge boost in this issue. For Zoro, that power was a sword called Enma. This is Oden's sword, which has the ability to expel Haki from the user's body, essentially training Ryuoh to become better and awakening his latent power. It took Zoro quite a while to master this sword, but in the end, it definitely allowed him to take his Haki to the highest level, and mastering it gave him greater control over Haki and allowed him to tap into his latent abilities. The power of Haki within the body.
When Zoro fully mastered Enma, this sword brought out the hidden Conqueror's Haki, and its incredible abilities allowed him to use an advanced version of it. Zoro is now stronger than ever, and it's all thanks to Enma's rigorous training with him in the Wano Country Arc. As of now, it is no exaggeration to say that Zoro is strong enough to face any Yonko commander and defeat them in battle. He might fight the Admiral, but he's not ready to take them down yet.
The same goes for Sanji. Wano was Sanji's biggest arc in terms of powerups. one pieceAfter Enies Lobby. In Wano, Sanji leveled up significantly, but his most important power-up came when he finally fought the Queen. During this fight, Sanji's body began to show scientific mutations, essentially giving him an exoskeleton and many other interesting things such as increased muscle mass and massive improvements to all physical attributes. Furthermore, when Sanji combined this power with the incredibly refined colors of his armament, he was actually able to withstand hotter flames, and this was born Ifrit Jambe.

These abilities make Sanji a very difficult opponent for anyone to face in battle, and fans got a glimpse of them against the Queen, who knocked Sanji out with a single attack after awakening her new powers. Sanji was also incredibly impressive in Egghead. He was the only one to fight the Admiral and inflict damage on Nusjuro.
Why Elbaf is great for Zoro and Sanji
Zoro and Sanji must reach a higher level of power
Clearly, Elbaf will have a huge impact on Zoro and Sanji. Especially if Luffy will soon become the Pirate King. As explained above, Zoro must be strong enough to hold his own against the Admiral. The same goes for Sanji. In fact, fans got to see Sanji make his case against Kizaru and even make him sweat in disbelief. In fact, Sanji hasn't even gone all out in One Piece, but he already has some amazing achievements to his name. The same goes for Zoro, these two have a lot more to offer. However, the growth of these characters is always constant and Elbaf will be no different for them.
Clearly, Elbaf has the potential to be a bigger arc, and based on what Oda drew in the first chapter of the One Piece Elbaf arc, we can come to the conclusion that Wings will be very important going forward.

When Luffy eventually fights Elbaf's most powerful giant, Zoro and Sanji will likely take second and third place, respectively. When that happens, their power level will increase even further as they will have new challenges to take down.
If they don't fight the Giants, fans can expect them to face a foe like the Red-Haired Buccaneers. There, fans will finally see them reach higher levels of power, finally getting them closer to the point where they will become the main pirates of the One Piece universe.
How strong will Zoro and Sanji become at the end of Elbaf?
Zoro and Sanji should be able to fight the Admiral soon
At the end of Elbaf, Zoro and Sanji's levels will increase significantly. They are likely to be very close to the peak, but still not there. As for Zorro, fans know he's likely much more mastered of King of Hell mode. Zoro is an accomplished user of Conqueror's Haki, but he cannot utilize his powers for more than a few minutes without risking his life. Basically, Zoro can't last more than a few minutes in a long fight. This is a big aspect that puts his current level below Admiral, and he needs to work on this in Elbaf. If Zoro further strengthens himself in Elbaf, he can definitely take on the Admiral and be a worthy threat to an Admiral level opponent.
The same goes for mountainous regions. Sanji will likely develop further in terms of scientific abilities. showed steady growth, <에그헤드>He demonstrated a power that even surprised Kizaru. However, Sanji did not fully explore his scientific abilities because he did not have the opportunity to fully demonstrate them. In the future, Sanji will grow significantly in this regard and will probably show even more genetic mutations that go against his core beliefs.
Then, after winning the internal struggle, Sanji becomes stronger, perhaps retaining a hotter flame, and better able to fuse his powers with Haki. Sanji can improve Observation Haki, Armament Haki and later obtain Conqueror's Haki.
For now, when Elbaf ends, fans should at least expect Zoro and Sanji to be at a level where they can hold their own against the Admiral and potentially win. This arc is pivotal as Zoro and Sanji must now be at a point where they can support Luffy in his biggest battle and take on enemies like the Admiral.
