Killingham then fused with Ivankov, and the resulting being has Ivankov's head and Kirin's body [[1]](https://www.superherohype.com/guides/702600-one-piece-chapter-1197-release-date-time-where-to-read).

That matters because Sanji's biggest weakness is that he does not love himself [[1]](https://www.superherohype.com/guides/702600-one-piece-chapter-1197-release-date-time-where-to-read).

He also realizes that Armament Haki is not enough to overcome Killingham [[2]](https://www.soapcentral.com/anime/one-piece-chapter-1197-spoilers-sanji-unlocks-conqueror-s-haki-unleashes-new-flame). So Sanji transforms into a hybrid form and coats himself in armor that can only be destroyed by someone who can use Conqueror's Haki [[2]](https://www.soapcentral.com/anime/one-piece-chapter-1197-spoilers-sanji-unlocks-conqueror-s-haki-unleashes-new-flame).
