Vinsmoke Sanji is best known as the cook of the Straw Hat Pirates in Oda's One Piece manga. He is the fifth member of the crew and the fourth to join, at the end of the Baratie Arc. Today, Sanji is an indispensable part of Luffy's crew and, over the decades, has displayed incredible powers and abilities. But, as a descendant of the Vinsmoke family, Sanji also had the ability to rely on his father's technology, and the Raid Suit was an example of this, especially since it played an important role in Wano Country. In this article, we will explain what the Raid Suit was and why Sanji destroyed it.

The Raid Suit is a technologically enhanced suit designed in the Germa Kingdom for use by members of the Vinsmoke family. The suit not only enhances the wearer's natural abilities, but also grants them additional powers and abilities, making them significantly stronger. Sanji eventually destroys his suit because he wants to remain true to himself and not lose himself to Germa.

In the rest of this article, we'll talk about Sanji and his Raid Suit. You'll learn about the Raid Suit and its connection to Sanji's family, as well as Sanji's relationship with his family. The article will explain how and why Sanji used the Raid Suit, as well as why he ultimately destroyed it in Wano Country. It will also contain some spoilers, so we had to warn you beforehand.

The Raid Suit is a powerful tool

Raid Suits are special, technologically engineered combat suits. They are developed and used exclusively by the Vinsmoke family and their army, the Germa 66. They are familiar to all residents of North Blue, especially those who read the Sora the Sea Warrior comic. When not in use, the suits are contained in black cylindrical boxes marked with light-colored symbols:

• A gray cylinder marked “J” for Judge.
• A pink cylinder marked “0” for Reiju.
• A red cylinder marked “1” for Ichiji.
• A blue cylinder marked “2” for Niji.
• A black cylinder marked "3" for Sanji.
• A green cylinder marked “4” for Yonji.

To don the suit, the wearer clicks a button on the box, which allows them to rotate it and release the garment. The outfit takes the shape of its wearer, allowing it to quickly wrap around the wearer's body and form the suit around them. For male users, the suits typically include a top and pants, a pair of gloves, and electric boots. For Reiju, the only difference is that a short dress replaces the pants and top. All members of Germa 66 are equipped with a raid suit.

However, the outfits are color-coordinated with the commanders, making them more stylish and individualized than those worn by soldiers. In particular, each Vinsmoke Commander wears a long cape over their costume, with the number corresponding to their name on it and the color corresponding to their unique abilities.

Raid suits allow their wearers to move through the air, jump great distances, and amplify the power of their blows. The gloves worn by Germa 66 soldiers also contain some sort of mechanism for firing powerful blasts. These suits enhance the power of their wearers. The Vinsmokes regretted not wearing their suits when Perospero's candy trapped them. Once released and in place, the wires were able to easily destroy the Candy Wall Perospero had created.

The suits are also fireproof, allowing the wearer to easily withstand incendiary attacks. Reiju, for example, resisted Big Mom's launch of Prometheus, even though she suffered damage. These suits, like the Vinsmokes' steel skin, are also bulletproof, having stopped shots from the Big Mom Pirates' Walkers, even though they could hit them with special bullets that Charlotte had Brûlée retrieve. Sanji easily resisted Page One's attack on him thanks to his new suit's durability. The suits also have an ability to create an energy shield that can block powerful blows. The suits appear to have a system for recognizing who they belong to, with Sanji being the only one who can use his Raid Suit.

Sanji destroyed his raid suit because he didn't want to be like his family.

Although Sanji had used the Raid Suit in the past, in Wano Country, the Raid Suit became a significant problem for him. Namely, after being accused by the geisha of hitting Some, Sanji had a brief crisis; namely, he actually thought he had become a heartless monster like his brothers, because he came to believe that he had hit Some, breaking his vow. At the time, Sanji was unaware that Queen, who was chasing Sanji, had used her invisibility technique and hit Some, accusing Sanji of this act.

Sanji then had a flashback remembering his family and his relationship with them. Sanji's family history was complex: his father was a maniac obsessed with creating perfect soldiers, which is why he genetically modified his children; his mother tried to save them, but she only saved Sanji, later dying; As the "black sheep" of the family (i.e., the only normal child), Sanji was shunned by his father and siblings, which is why he ran away, vowing never to become like the other members of his family.

During the flashbacks, Sanji wondered if he had truly become a cold, heartless monster like his brothers, always wondering how he could have hit Some, a woman. Then he stopped and thought about what his captain, Luffy, would want him to do: be true to himself or be like his family. He then decided to take out the Raid Suit, an important symbol of his ties to his family. As mentioned, the Raid Suit helped Sanji and made him much stronger; it even awakened his latent abilities, which would be useful against other enemies of Queen and the Straw Hats. But the Raid Suit would also make him less himself and more like his family.

As Queen approached Sanji, ready for their confrontation, he watched Sanji pull out the Raid Suit. Queen wanted Sanji to use it because it would make the fight more interesting, and when he saw it, he was hopeful that he would fight Sanji using the Raid Suit. But, to Queen's surprise, Sanji dropped the Raid Suit on the ground and destroyed it, choosing to remain true to himself and never become like his father and brothers.

Nevertheless, he engaged Queen in direct combat, and Sanji eventually defeated the powerful member of Kaidou's crew using his usual skills and techniques. Sanji was finally able to use his Ifrit Jambe, a more powerful variation of his Diable Jambe technique. Sanji was able to knock Queen down, then used his Ox Burst technique to finish her off and send her flying off Onigashima. The Marines then apprehended Queen, and thus the fight ended.
