Powers & Abilities Could Sanji ever eat a devil fruit?

[Monkey D Theories]

I'm not saying he will get one, I just thought it would be interesting to raise the possibility of it happening and perhaps have some sort of a discussion about it.

So throughout most of One piece, Sanji was a pure fighter and a martial artist. However as of now, it seems like not only he lost this role, it seems as if he has been replaced by a character who was far better at what he did. Sanji's style now revolves around fire based moves and he is even incorporating technology into his abilities.
Jinbe on the other hand is a true pure martial artist, who is arguably better than sanji as far as pure martial arts go.

So with Sanji no longer being a pure martial artist, I am interested in the possibility of him getting a DF sometime between now and EoS. By EoS, I fully expect Luffy and the m3 to be taking on top tiers. Be it the admirals or the gorosei, Sanji will need to be fighting top tiers. He will need more power ups and I feel as if there are many ways Oda can take it. In my mind, a devil fruit isn't entirely out of the question.

Unlike Zoro or Jinbe, I don't think that there is a solid reason why Sanji wouldn't eat a DF. With his raid suit, he doesn't need to be physically able to swim anymore. he could propel himself through the water using the raid suit's jet propulsion. he could also have franky design some sort of waterproof-form into the raid suit so that he can go underwater without the water actually touching his body, effectively making him immune from drowning.

So if he got a devil fruit, what powers do you think he would get? Imo an ancient zoan would fit really well for him. Zoans are good for fighters who already have established styles and if Sanji got an ancient zoan, he wouldn't need to change up his style. It would just give him a physical boost.

anyways feel free to leave your thoughts in this thread and please try not to turn this into zoro vs sanji as zoro is really irrelevant in this discussion.

I doubt he will. He already got the RS which serves kinda like a DF. Like him going invisible - the power of the DF he always sought, in addition to higher physical stats like from a Zoan fruit. No need to take yet another DF. Especially since he still keeps the advantage of being able to swim. Not like he gonna pull out the RS on every occasion either.

What would be the point of showcasing Blue Walk if he can't even swim anymore? It's bad enough the Raid Suit makes his Skywalk redundant, let's not take away another thing he developed over the 2 year timeskip.

 

[bluefire12]

I don't think so since he already has a raid suit that can do invisibility
Because he only wants a devil fruit like invisibility or camouflage

 

[Natalija]

I think Sanji and Zoro are generally characters who are supposed to become crazy strong based on their own efforts, not with a devil fruit. And I'm glad because there are too many devil fruits flying around, pure training should be more appreciated. But hey, Sanji is adaptable, he would master any devil fruit and use it to his advantage.

They're not filling slots in terms that someone can replace him, Sanji is Sanji. Also, I am a cult follower of the theory that Jinbe will either leave or die :D

An interesting question is, IF the Straw Hats find a devil fruit by accident, WHO would eat it among them? Tbh Nami and Usopp are more urgent candidates.

I don’t see any current SHP eating a DF that hasn’t already done so...maybe Carrot will get something if she ends up joining, or a future nakama may have one, but none of the OG crew is gonna do that when they already have enough trouble corralling Luffy/Chopper/Robin/Brook when they fall in the sink.

[OmegaPsyche]

Sanjiboi wet dream, never gonna happen.

 

[Finalbeta]

Hmm at this rate he won't

I legit thought he would have eaten Suke Suke at best, but meh his suit already satisfied his desire

 

[Luffy is the mc]

He said he was never interested in eating one and sacrifice his swimming abilities except to be invisible but that fruit is already taken so no.
And we are too close to the end of the manga for him to eat one now.

 

[Chrono]

Tf would he need one for.

No he wouldnt. He loves to swim and hes the best swimmer.

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

Sanji ain't getting no Devil Fruit LOL. That's basically a nerf for him. Who else would save Zoro, Luffy, Chopper, Nami when they're drowning in the ocean LOL.

Heh a DF is hardly ever a nerf bud

Imagine if he ate the Mera

 

[Topi Jerami]

Sanji should eat cemani chicken DF.

Spoiler

1. It fits his fighting style, Chicken Kick!
2. He can pretend to be Fullbody Haki Master, to hide the CoA he is lacking.
3. Enemies will think twice before making him punching bag, because he will look really durable as FBH Punching Bag.

 

[NAMELESS]

He doesn't need it.Also,blue walk is cool.

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

Spoiler

Never knew this kind of chicken exist Lmao. The more you know.

 

[Dickie D. Dick]

Nah, he Germa foot solider

 

[Finalbeta]

I guess the Exo will remain his major power up

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Someone who’s dream is to find and explore an ocean doesn’t really seem like the type to give up swimming. He already has his fire and whatever new abilities Odas giving him.

Knowing Oda he won't let SHs power up that fast 🤔 and eat a DF all of a sudden
