One Piece Chapter 1187 Teases Luffy vs Imu as Sanji's Next Power Upgrade Could Change Everything
Coming soon after a breakless week, One PieceChapter 1187, "The Cause," teased readers with its title, giving way to endless interpretations. The chapter contained relatively little plot progression, but the action sequences more than compensated for the minimal storytelling. Weapons clashed, blood was spilled, and the strange black flames revealed more of their versatility.
Saint Nerona Imu, King of the World, finally demonstrated his superiority over Prince Loki of Elbaph, leaving Monkey D. Luffy no choice but to go all out. Since the nostalgic punch from the last chapter, fans have been hyped for this fight between the official hero and villain from One Piece, although it's unlikely for Luffy to get the upper hand right now. Even if he's entirely confident in his victory.
Chapter 1187 offered a tiny glimpse at Imu's stunned face before he switched into retaliation mode, a sword-shaped torrent of Omen "energy" that bore a massive hole through Elbaph's strongest fighter. That said, the timing of Loki's fall makes it feel like Imu didn't want to face Luffy at the same time.made.
Sanji first tapped into the power of Ifrit Jambe 5 years ago in the Wano Country Arc of One Piece in Chapter 1034 on December 6, 2021, in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #1. In this chapter, Sanji truly tapped into the genetic modifications he received after his latent Lineage Factor Manipulation kicked in. Due to receiving a heightened exoskeleton, more muscle mass, and increased durability as well as regeneration, Sanji could sustain much hotter flames on his body. These buffs allowed him to produce blue-white flames, which he called Ifrit Jambe. The power of Ifrit Jambe is made as strong as it is because Sanji combines it with his highly refined Color of Armament Haki. However, in the final saga, Armament Haki is not enough.
In One Piece Chapter 1152, which was officially released on June 23, 2026, in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #30, Eiichiro Oda officially highlighted Sanji as a potential Conqueror. Scopper Gaban stated that within the Straw Hat Pirates, there is more than just one with Conqueror's Haki . At the same time, Sanji mentioned feeling the power of Conqueror's Haki inside himself in the very same chapter. By bringing out his true Conqueror's Haki, Sanji can officially upgrade the power of the Demon God Ifrit and take it to a whole new level. This upgraded power of the Demon God, Ifrit is going to push Sanji to a new level of strength and officially make him one of the elites of the One Piece world in terms of combat prowess, in line with what Kaido stated about Supreme King Haki users in One Piece Chapter 1010 on April 12, 2021.
