Sanji's new raid suit in One Piece absolutely bamboozled the fans. The suit has a whole arsenal of abilities that provide both support and hit power. If anything could push Sanji's to commander level, or even admiral level, then it's the raid suit.
However, what if Sanji gained a further power-up, a devil fruit maybe. Wouldn't that set his power level to further new heights? Certainty, but that depends on which fruit he eats. Here are 5 that would push him closer to a Yonko, and 5 he is better off without.
10 Benefit: Suke Suke no mi
The Suke Suke no mi is a paramecia based devil fruit that grants invisibility to its user. Honestly, we don't know if this fruit is useful against observation haki; we don't even know if it's useful to Sanji at all, but we know that it's his dream devil fruit.
Naturally, Sanji desires this devil fruit to totally ‘increase his fire power’. If he thinks it’s worth it, he knows what’s best for him.
9 Drag: Hito Hito no Mi
Hito Hito no Mi, or human human fruit, is a zoan type devil fruit. This fruit's effects on humans are unnoticeable because the effect itself is turning the user into a human. If Sanji ate this fruit, the only ability he would gain is a swimming disability.
Though this fruit is pretty much useless to humans, it works miracles on animals. Chopper, a reindeer, ate it and now he is a doctor. And not just an ordinary doctor.
8 Benefit: Bane Bane no mi
Sanji's fighting style is heavily reliant on agility and speed. The faster he is, the deadlier his kicks are. Bane Bane no mi (spring spring fruit) can grant Sanji the perfect support during battle.
The Bane Bane no mi allows its user to convert their limbs to springs. The effects might seem inefficient at first, but with proper utilization, it can work magic.
7 Gomu Gomu no mi
Gomu Gomu no mi, or the rubber rubber fruit, is Luffy's signature fruit. Without extreme workouts for at least years, this fruit's ability will only remain as a nuisance. Luffy had to train hard for years, and he has only scratched the surface of this Fruit’s potential.
Gomu Gomu no mi is more suitable for the straightforward Luffy. Sanji's kicks require precession, A component that the Gomu Gomu no mi lacks.
6 Benefit: Tori Tori no mi: model Phoenix
The Tori Tori no mi: model Phoenix is a mythical zoan devil fruit. Which means it's both rarer and more valuable than Logia fruits. Sanji's fighting style comes with pros and cons, the pros being he can deliver swift attacks that can inflict considerable damage. While the cons are his susceptibility to damage and his weak defense.
A good solution to that weakness is eating the Tori Tori no mi. As long as he isn't killed in one blow, he could recover almost instantly.
5 Drag: Bara Bara no mi.
Bara Bara no mi was one of the first devil fruits to be introduced in the series. It's a paramecia based devil fruit that allows the user to be impervious to slash damage, but haki would most likely bypass that. The user can also separate their limbs from their body. A comical fruit that was eaten by a comical man.
This fruit is not Sanji's cup of tea. We would rather see him stay fruitless than eat it.
4 Benefit: Kira Kira no mi
What Sanji desperately lacks isn't firepower, instead, it's defense. If he somehow balances out his overall stats, he could effortlessly level up to commander level.
The Kira Kira no mi could be Sanji's ticket to supremacy. It grants its user the ability to coat their body in diamond, providing a virtually impregnable defense. And with addition to armament haki, few people could damage the user’s body.
3 Drag: buki buki no mi
Sanji's weapons are his own legs. He won't 'taint' his hands, which are only used for cooking, by carrying a weapon. If one ate the buki buki no mi, they could transform a part of or their entire body into a weapon. Any weapon is a fair game as long as the user is strong enough.
Sanji, however, does not have proficiency at handling any weapon other than kitchen knives.
2 Benefit: Pika pika no mi
If there was a devil fruit out there that is tailor made for Sanji, then it got to be the pika pika no mi. The fruit is a logia type devil fruit that grants its user the properties of light.
This fruit can cover any weakness that Sanji possesses, while simultaneously boosting his strengths. Sanji kicking someone at the speed of light would be an interesting sight to behold.
1 Drag: Gasu Gasu no mi
Gasu Gasu no mi is also a logia type devil fruit that was eaten by Caesar. This devil fruit is wicked. Even though Sanji acts like a hoodlum at times, he is still a chivalrous and kind prince at heart. Using such fruit would most likely be below his standards. And assuming that he still ate it. He would most likely only utilize its flying abilities.
