In the
SBS One Piece column volume 85, a reader asked, "Who is the fastest Straw Hat crew in a 50-meter race?" Oda answered by giving the reader an order from fastest to slowest.
- Brook
- Sanji
- Luffy
- Chopper
- Zoro
- Usopp
- Nami
- Robin
- Franky
This goes to show just how impressive sanjis speed is. Let's first take a look at Chopper dodging a laser attack from queen in 1014. Chopper in his best form and the 4th fastest sh just dodged a beam from queen barely.
Comparing this to zoro literally being drawn to have awkwardly avoided being hit by queens laser here
Along with zoro saying Tempura udon attack is "like a laser beam" here. Look at zoro in both panels. He's in the same position.
This all canonically makes sense if choppers faster than zoro. And according to an sbs he is. Now I normally wouldn't place choppers speed above zoros either but we can't ignore the portrayal and direct words from the author. Zoro is allowed to be surpassed in some aspects by other strawhats besides luffy.
Compare all this to sanji dodging a barrage of beams with a smile on his face
Knowing all of this and then sanjis new speed post awakening along with ifrit making him even faster than just invisible.
Sanjis fuckin broken right now
