Speculations 5 reasons why Sanji will not fight King.

Marco and Jozu were also introduced together...



And we know they're not equal...

It dont mean shit. King already has better feats and potrayal. When he got his solo intro he took down the entirety of the Meme Pirates. Whilst Queen was dancing around like a weirdo.
But see, in this case Oda doesn't push Vista next to them to show just how much better than him they are, which adds to my point.

It was never the case that the top two were introduced with the third as a point of reference for how not just the YC1, but also the YC2 of that crew is that much stronger, and that much more comparable to the YC1.

Only Queen received this special treatment :queenmoji:
 
To counter your points:

1. All of the fights you mentioned had Sanji already injured and this Sanji is basically completely fresh only punched by Black Maria a bit. It’s not like when Sanji was forced to let Pearl break him or when Nami got blown up in his body and therefore didn’t have any haki.

2. Doffy was a bad matchup in general not because of fighting but because Sanji had no knowledge of his devil fruit and lost heavily due to that. Vergo and Sanji were pretty even without either going all out and again, Sanji was already injured, Judge literally cheated to win that fight in his fire proof suit...

3. Zoro is not fighting anyone in his current condition and Sanji won’t fight anyone until Marco is taken out. Why would Sanji fight Queen if Marcos still up? This is why Perosepero is there, to make sure Marco goes down.

4. Absalom was Moriahs right hand man in thriller bark. Kuroobi was the second strongest of Arlong Park.

5. Honestly, King or Queen are probably high diff fights if Sanji doesn’t get a power up right now. If he did they’re both mid diffs. Neither have been necessarily impressive.

There are plenty of reasons for Sanji vs Queen over Sanji vs King, these are just not good ones.
Being injured isn't an excuse. Zoro was destroyed before he even landed an attack that hurt mr. 1.

Nerfed Sanji with us being told that his body was damaged pre Gin and Vergo, as for his encounter with Kaku, for the first time he ran into the CP9 pre EL Sanji didn't really do bad



He nearly broke Blueno's Tekkai and impressed Kaku making him warn Blueno that Sanji must be a Main Fighter of the crew ( canon label that goes against the "just a cook" memes btw :goyea: ).

That's more than most SH's managed to do against the CP9 before we got the EL proper. Like we've seen Zoro vs Kaku as well in a similar manner



And it's not like he did any better :kayneshrug:




Again though, i do agree Sanji is not fighting King. Sanji vs Queen is where it's at :queenmoji:
Ridiculous zoro was the one who ended up fighting kaku and defeating him also zoro fights nerfed all the time and wins so sanji doesn't have an excuse here
 
What don't you get thats not an excuse. Oda gave him chances to fight 2nd strongest and arc antongnist. He failed everytime. While Zoro bodied Morgans,Hody Jones, Kaku, Mr. 1, Ryuma.
But it is an excuse when it's actually written into the story that he's forced to allow his body to get injured prior to those fights ?

That's literally Oda giving an escuse for why Sanji would be in a tough spot, so that he can write the narrative of those arcs where he's not meant to defeat Gin in a direct confrontation but through his beliefs, and Vergo is meant to be Law's opponent so he can't be allowed to face a fresh Sanji and lose to him :milaugh:

If the narrative is that Sanji is too weak, there's no need to injure him prior, but just play out a fresh Sanji losing to those people.
 
Just gonna talk about number 3, Zoro is down bad and coughing up blood. Last chapter, he said he was gonna use everything he has left. How's he gonna fight King?

As for Marco, this arc has been about the SHs and New Gen coming into their own. Is Marco going to join the SH?
We gonna ignore Zoro defeating Hachi after low diffing the Arlong pirates and taking a Mihawk slash prior?
:gokulaugh:
 
It's really fucking simple. If Oda wanted Sanji vs Queen, he wouldnt do these long mental gymnastics to have them end up together. He would've directly made Sanji go to fucking Udon or have Sanji retrieve the cure or have Sanji tag-team with Drake and stay on the live-floor.

But instead he constantly puts him with King....

Who did Sanji fight to save Momo.....King
Who directly opposes everyone Sanji wants to protect....King
Who was talking to Maria whilst Sanji was bound.....King

You can even look at small similarities such as King telling WsW to stay in his place, same way Sanji did with Jinbe. Or the way they order weaker crewmates around and be their somewhat interim leader.

But yes let's have Sanji abandon the Samurai and Momo, and let his entire arc be about fucking Germa....again....instead of the fucking Samurai that he befriended and wants to protect. It's not like whenever Momo and the Samurai are in danger....Sanji isnt the first person to act and try to save them.

But whatever. Let King kill them after he deals with Marco...
"Constantly puts him with King". My dude they have had one encounter.

The assumption that Sanji is going take Momo from someone already protecting him (Yamato) after HE LITERALLY passes him off to Shinobu, and the assumption that King is actually going to go after Momo himself when he's literally been telling everyone else to do it is just that, a big fucking assumption.

This is like using the concept of Kaku kicking Sanji as grounds for them to fight later, because all he does is kick and use Rankyaku for 40 chapters until his fight with Zoro.


Funny enough, you saying he shouldn't let the samurai die means that he should be going to protect Inu from Jack so:kayneshrug:

But he didn't defeat him the first time they fought and pre EL power ups, so why would anyone hold it against Sanji :milaugh:
it was explained that zoro and luffy were not at full strength because they didn't know if robin really wanted to be saved back then, something sanji already knew when he fought kaku also she is a woman and he always fights at full strength to save them and yet he still lost
 
Marco and Jozu were also introduced together...

It dont mean shit. King already has better feats and potrayal. When he got his solo intro he took down the entirety of the Meme Pirates. Whilst Queen was dancing around like a weirdo.
Marco isn’t defeating jozu anything less then high difficulty.
