The Evolution of Sanji and Zoro: A Preview of Upcoming Steps
Table of Contents
ToggleLuffy: The Pirate King in the Making
Luffy, our Straw Hat pirate, has already demonstrated phenomenal power, but there is still room for growth.
Haki
Luffy already masters three advanced forms of Haki:
- Observation Haki: Allowing him to see into the future.
- Armament Haki: Capable of hitting without physical contact.
- Conqueror’s Haki: A rare power reserved for the elite.
A possible evolution could be increasing the range of his future sight, rivaling Shanks. Additionally, Luffy might develop the ability to negate Haki, preventing his opponents from using Observation Haki in combat.
Powers and Devil Fruit
Thanks to the Human-Human Fruit, Model Nika, Luffy now fights with imagination. His latest transformation, Gear Fifth, allows him to manipulate his environment in unprecedented ways. However, during the Egghead Arc, it was observed that some attacks are insufficient against enemies like Saturn.
A future power-up might involve a deeper understanding of his Devil Fruit and the use of a specific energy, such as the Moer Flame, significantly increasing his power.
Nami: The Storm Navigator
Observation Haki
Nami is already an exceptional navigator capable of predicting the weather almost supernaturally. Developing her Observation Haki seems like a natural evolution, allowing her to predict weather phenomena with unmatched precision and detect enemy traps.
Powers and Weapons
With the help of Zeus, her weather staff has become a living weapon. Technological upgrades could enable her to manipulate other elements, mimicking Big Mom’s attacks.
Usopp: The Sniper from Elbaf
Usopp, often underestimated, could reveal his true potential in Elbaf.
Observation Haki
An advanced development of his Observation Haki might allow him to locate enemies from a distance and predict their movements, making him a formidable sniper.
Powers and Weapons
Sea-prism stone projectiles and weapons enhanced with Elbaf technology could give him a significant combat advantage. A potentially spectacular power-up would be the use of a lightning-charged hammer, reminiscent of Thor’s hammer.
Robin: The Dark Strategist
Robin, with her Devil Fruit and combat expertise, still has great potential for evolution.
Haki and Techniques
Although she already masters Fish-Man Karate, Robin could develop both Armament and Observation Haki. Drawing inspiration from Sabo’s techniques, she could significantly enhance her attacks and defense.
Forms and Transformations
Demonio Fleur is likely not her final form. Robin might reveal further transformations and enhance her Fish-Man Karate, enabling her to compete with formidable enemies like Vasco Shot.
Jinbe: The Knight of the Sea
Jinbe, a master of Fish-Man Karate, is already extremely powerful.
Haki and Powers
While he already masters both Armament and Observation Haki, Jinbe could still evolve, particularly by developing a temporary transformation to increase his strength, inspired by the steroids from the Fishman Island Arc.
Future Battles
A showdown with Jesus Burgess, who possesses superhuman strength from his Devil Fruit, would be epic. Such an evolution could allow Jinbe to rival the greatest fighters in the One Piece world.
Chopper: The Transforming Doctor
Chopper, with his various transformations thanks to the Rumble Balls, has enormous potential.
Haki and Powers
Developing both Armament and Observation Haki would strengthen his combat abilities. A full awakening of his Devil Fruit, allowing him to transform without Rumble Balls, would be a crucial power-up.
Future Battles
A battle against Doc Q could push Chopper to fully awaken his powers to counter his adversary’s chemical manipulations.
Sanji: Untapped Power Potential
At the end of the video, the analysis delves into possible evolutions for Sanji. Already formidable with his Black Leg, Sanji could become even more powerful. An intriguing question is whether Sanji might acquire Conqueror’s Haki. Although Sanji hasn’t shown clear signs of this power, he possesses leadership qualities and great will, partly inherited from his family, the Vinsmokes, who once conquered the North Blue. This leaves the door open for the possibility that Sanji could possess this power.
However, the utility of this power for Sanji in relation to his goals remains unclear. Conqueror’s Haki, while providing considerable strength, doesn’t seem immediately necessary for Sanji’s ambitions.
Regarding his combat abilities, future evolutions might see Sanji reach a new level with the introduction of black flames, aligning with his epithet. By incorporating techniques borrowed from his brothers, such as Niji’s technique that renders his movements invisible or Niji’s Henry Nel, which uses lightning to enhance his striking power, Sanji could develop even more powerful and varied attacks. The idea of a leg that is both electric and flaming is appealing, offering a new dimension to his combat skills.
Zoro: Mastery and Constant Progress
As for Zoro, he has already perfected Armament Haki, allowing him to harden his swords and greatly increase their sharpness. His Observation Haki is also well-developed, although it is suggested that it could still improve, particularly to counter adversaries capable of becoming invisible like Shiryu.
Regarding Conqueror’s Haki, Zoro has demonstrated it at its peak during his battle against King, infusing this power into his attacks to increase their destructiveness, even slicing through Kaido. The next logical step for Zoro is to create a black blade, an important milestone that will not only enhance the rank of his swords but also his own power. The creation of a black blade is a sign of true mastery and power, as demonstrated by legendary swordsmen like Ryuma and Mihawk.
It remains mysterious how to achieve a black blade, but it is clear that it will require a deep connection between Zoro, his swords, and his Haki. The question of why Oden or other great swordsmen have not achieved this feat remains unanswered, but this process certainly involves a perfect understanding of the spirit, body, and Haki.
An intriguing aspect of Zoro is his Asura technique, which has been used only rarely so far. This technique gives the appearance of having nine swords, significantly increasing his power. It would be interesting to understand why Zoro uses this form so infrequently and whether Oda will explain any associated limits or costs. Perhaps this technique is reserved for critical moments, or it depletes Zoro’s energy similarly to Luffy’s Gear Fourth.
The possible evolution of this technique could make it more frequent and sustainable. Since Zoro aims to become the lord of darkness, it is conceivable that the Asura form might evolve further, representing a king of the underworld in an ultimate display of power.
