Each new Straw Hat Power Up in the final saga

The Straw Hat Pirates are central to the final tale of One Piece. They aim to become the first pirate crew since the Roger Pirates to complete the circumnavigation of the entire world and find the Final Island, Laugh Tale, which claims One Piece in the process. The Straw Hat Pirates have already become a Yonko team and rank among the strongest in the world, but their growth continues in the Final Saga. They've already received quite a few incredible power-ups, with plenty more to come as the story continues through the Elbaph arc and beyond.

One Piece Crushes the Pirate King's Wings — Zoro and Sanji Defeated by Nerona Imu

Yonko Luffy's wings, Zoro and Sanji were decimated by Nerona Imu in the latest One Piece chapter of the Elbaph arc.

Super Vega Cola

One of the most interesting power-ups any Straw Hat has received in recent memory came in the Elbaph arc for Frankie through Vegapunk's ODC. Omni Drain Converters created by Dr. Vegapunk absorbs all forms of energy and converts it into a consumable form of energy. These Omni Drain Converters completely absorbed all the heat energy from the Elbaph and turned it into Super Vega Cola for Franky to consume.

After consuming this new form of cola, Franky's strength increased tremendously, and he reached a point where he could one-shot an MMA created by Saint Killingham with a single punch. Although Franky was already strong enough to take down someone like Sasaki with ease, his overall powers are now at such a level that he can compete with the likes of Yonko Commanders on an even footing. His strength has increased drastically, and it must also be remembered that he can even power his Shogun with this new Super Vega Cola, making him a huge threat for anyone to deal with moving forward. Franky is really on a whole other level of strength going forward.

Mini Gear 4

The main character of the series, Monkey D. Luffy continues to grow despite already becoming a Yonko, and that's to be expected, given that he's meant to fight enemies on par with Nerona Imu in the Final Saga. Luffy has received quite a few power-ups in the last saga, but one of the most overlooked is Mini Gear 4.

The power of Gear 4 was first harnessed in the Dressrosa arc, but it was invented by Luffy during the two-year time jump. Given that he has used it frequently since then, he has mastered its use to the point where he can limit it to certain parts of his body, just like he did with Gear 2 and Gear 3 after the time jump. Instead of using Gear 4 in his entire body and unleashing his Haki to the fullest, Luffy can now use the same power by conserving his Haki and using it in just one limb. This gives him the same firepower but preserves his Haki and increases its effectiveness in battle overall, making it one of the most incredible power-ups he's received in recent memory.

Upgraded Ifrit Jambe

Eiichiro Oda has given the Straw Hat Pirates quite a few sneaky power-ups, such as Mini Gear 4 for Monkey D Luffy. Similarly, he has also given Sanji a unique power-up, which is the ability to utilize Ifrit Jambe without activating his Lineage Factor modification. Usually, in order to sustain the hot flames of Ifrit Jambe, Sanji needs to put on his exoskeleton to increase his overall physical durability. Ifrit Jambe's flames are so hot that not just anyone can sustain them. This is precisely why Sanji was only able to harness them when he awakened the exoskeleton and combined that power with his refined Haki.

In the Elbaph arc, Sanji is able to harness the power of Ifrit Jambe without even turning on his exoskeleton, meaning his Haki has become so refined that he can now maintain a hotter version of the technique without unleashing his full powers. Consequently, this also means that the intensity of Ifrit Jambe goes up many times when he turns on his exoskeleton. This was clearly seen when he fought Saint Killingham, completely obliterating him with a single blow and calling him “little fry” despite being a holy knight with the powers of immortality and infinite regeneration.

One Piece: Loki's 7 Powers That Prove He's Above Yonko Level

Loki is beyond the level of a Yonko. He has many abilities that make him the very strongest of One Piece.

Refined Conqueror's Haki

Conqueror's Haki is one of the most important power-ups that any individual can get in the final saga of One Piece, and for both Luffy and Zoroit is extremely important. Luffy has already advanced his Haki tremendously, and he continues to do so in the Elbaph Arc. Again, this is a power-up that Oda has sneakily given Luffy, but it's more obvious in the case of Zoro.

Until recently, Zoro didn't even know he had access to Conqueror's Haki. Gaban reprimanded him for it, telling him that Haki's true power can only be brought out when properly controlled. Since then, Zoro has been actively trying to control his Conqueror's Haki, which has improved his effectiveness as well as his overall strength, albeit by a small amount. As the Elbaph Arc continues, Zoro will learn how to use your Conqueror's Haki better and refine it even longer. Once that happens, he will surely level up and get closer to the likes of Yonko and the Admirals of the One Piece world, making it one of the most important powers for him.

Hito Hito No Mi Cleansing Power

Elbaph bow of One Piece gave power-ups to several members of the Straw Hat Pirates, incl Chopper. Usually, Chopper simply harnesses the power of his Devil Fruit to access various hybrid transformations that increase his physical capabilities. But in Elbaph showed Chopper a new power in Monster Point that allowed him to reverse the effect of Imus Domi Reversi.

This power came as a shock to many and given that it allows Chopper to use his Devil Fruit power beyond his own body, it means Devil Fruit Awakening. More information needs to be delivered on this particular power-up, but for now, it's truly one of the most incredible abilities any Straw Hat has unleashed in the final saga.

Voice of all things

The voice of everything is a power teased long ago in the Sabaody Archipelago arc, and in the case of Luffyhe began exploiting it around the time of Fishman Island. Luffy's Voice of All Things has grown consistently since the Elbaph arc, where he started using it subconsciously to the point where he even recognized the voices of those falling miles away, instantly identifying them with it.

This power will continue to grow as the Elbaph arc moves forward, and in the final saga, Luffy must fully master it in order to use it properly in the great war to come.
