The Straw Hat Pirates are renowned for being the one of the sturdiest pirate crews in the One Piece universe. Under the leadership of Monkey D. Luffy, the Fifth Emperor of the Sea, this crew boasts a roster of exceptionally powerful individuals.
Each member of the crew has left an indestructible mark on the unfolding narrative of One Piece. While every member of the Straw Hat Pirates has their unique capabilities, Sanji stands out as an all-rounder of the group.
One Piece – “Black Leg” Sanji
Vinsmoke Sanji also known as “Black Leg” Sanji is the chef of Luffy’s crew and is the fourth member to join after Zoro, Nami, and Usopp. While his primary role is to provide meals for the crew members, he is certainly not limited to that.
Alongside Luffy and Zoro, Sanji ranks as one of the most powerful and important fighters in the group and forms the formidable Monster Trio with them.
As we know Sanji has faced and defeated many formidable foes in the One Piece series, is there any possible way for him to beat Naruto characters?

If you’re also wondering the same, here is a list of seven characters from Naruto that Sanji from One Piece can defeat in a single blow:
7. Kisame Hoshigaki
Kisame Hoshigaki was an S-class member and partner of Itachi Uchiha in the Akatsuki Clan. With immense chakra reserves and his advanced shark-oriented techniques, he was undoubtedly one of the most powerful shinobi in the Naruto world. However, Sanji is no less than him. With his lightning speed and great strength, Sanji can easily defeat the Monster of the Hidden Mist.
6. Gaara
Gaara, renowned as Gaara of the Sand, served as the fifth Kazekage of the Sand village. He was the jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Shukaku. Trained since infancy as Suna’s ‘ultimate weapon,’ Gaara was exceptionally strong even as a child, effortlessly defeating the countless assassins sent after him. While Gaara faced formidable foes such as Madara Uchiha and Urashiki Otsutsuki, it is uncertain whether he could hold against Sanji’s speed and his powerful moves.
5. Deidara
Deidara was an S-rank missing-nin from Iwagakure. During his time in the village, he was a member of the Explosion Corps. Deidara was able to single-handedly defeat Gaara, who was Shukaku’s jinchuriki and the Fifth Kazekage, as well as Isobu, despite fighting both of them in their home territories. However, he may not have a chance to win against Sanji, as Sanji can potentially defeat him with his Diable Jambe.
4. Orochimaru
Being one of Konohagakure’s legendary Sannin, as well as a former member of Akatsuki, Orochimaru is a powerful and skilled ninja. Orochimaru is considered to have enough prowess to destroy an entire city. Even the third Hokage admits that he may not be able to stop him. But Sanji is capable of stopping him, he just needs a single kick to defeat Orochimaru right away.

3. Kakashi Hatake
Kakashi Hatake, famous as Kakashi of the Sharingan or the Copy Ninja, is one of Konoha’s most talented ninjas. He also served as the sixth Hokage of the Leaf Village. He is unique in the ninja world as the sole user of a single Sharingan, which originally belonged to his old Uchiha friend, Obito. However, even with his great skill and knowledge of ninjutsu, he is no match for Sanji without Obito’s Sharingan.
2. Rock Lee
Rock Lee is one of the main supporting characters in the Naruto anime/manga series. He was unable to exert chakra outside his body, which is necessary in order to perform Ninjutsu or Genjutsu. However, under the mentorship of Might Guy, the best Taijutsu user, Lee developed himself into one of the most powerful shinobi in the Naruto verse. If he were to confront Sanji, he could match up with Sanji in terms of speed, but he lacks strength and defense like Sanji’s Observation Haki.
1. Might Guy
Might Guy is a jonin of Konohagakure, a master of taijutsu, and one of the most formidable shinobi in the Naruto anime and manga series. He served as the mentor of Team Guy, which consisted of Neji, Tenten, and Rock Lee. While he was declared the ‘strongest shinobi‘ by the most powerful antagonist, Madara Uchiha, Guy may not match Sanji’s speed and endurance. However, Guy cannot be defeated in any category when using the Eighth Gate of Death. But Sanji would likely have the advantage in a foot-to-foot or foot-to-hand fight against Guy.
