One Piece Chapter 1197 Spoilers

Here’s what happens in Chapter 1197:

Sanji acknowledges the “death wish” that Ivankov pointed out to him.
The reason: he thought that if he was ever going to become trash like the Germa, he’d rather die with his chivalry intact… But he was wrong.

Sanji’s body is a body worth protecting — kept alive by his mother’s sacrifice and raised with love by his great benefactor Zeff.

So he commits to protecting it completely.
Armament Haki alone isn’t enough — he hardens himself with an even more powerful Haki.

As Sanji’s resolve solidifies, his attacks gradually begin to carry the color of Conqueror’s Haki. Killingham notices and goes all out.

Killingham covers his entire body in Omen armor — armor that can only be broken by Conqueror’s Haki.

This becomes Killingham’s death flag. In the end, the armor is shattered and the battle concludes.

Analysis

Sanji had always feared that someday he would become trash like his father and brothers.
