3 Raid Suit

Power Up Arc: Wano Country

The Raid Suits are powerful scientific technology that was created by Judge Vinsmoke, the leader of the Germa Kingdom. These suits enhance one's capabilities by manifold. The Raid Suits are incredibly durable, such that they can survive attacks that can take down an entire city. They are also fire resistant, and in the case of Sanji, it granted him the ability to turn invisible.

Sanji received the Raid Suit in the Whole Cake Island arc, however, he did not get to use it until Wano, where he tested it against Page One, only to demolish him in battle. This Raid Suit boosted all his physical attributes, and gave him tremendous strength, as well as speed, along with kicking power.

2 Lineage Factor Manipulation

One of the greatest power-ups that Sanji has received came in the Wano arc, where his dormant Lineage Factor finally awakened. When Sanji was in his mother's womb, Judge experimented on him and his siblings with Lineage Factor Manipulation. He decided to give them a powerful exoskeleton, and a high healing factor, along with superhuman strength and under physical attributes.

In exchange, he took their emotions, making them war machines. Thanks to his mother, Sanji received his emotions. However, his scientific powers were dormant, that is, until the Wano arc, where he fully manifested them, turning into a monster that could even dismantle Queen in combat.

1 Ifrit Jambe

Power Up Arc: Wano Country

By far, the greatest power up that Sanji has received in One Piece is Ifrit Jambe. This power is incredibly dangerous as it allows Sanji to make use of his newly awakened genetic powers, exoskeleton, increased physical attributes, and of course, healing factor, to support hotter flames on his legs.

He is able to manifest blue flames and electricity on his legs using Ifrit Jambe. These kicks were so powerful that just one proper attack from him was enough to completely destroy Queen, a pirate worth 1.32 billion berries.
