1. I am not reading any fake translation. He only says the thing about Zoro not Sanji. Funny how you didn't post the next page when mans said he can't "Afford" to let this man live. While Sanji just talking about he on a different level.
What made Arlong scarred is him being alolice at all. Sanji did not get this stop it.
Sanji has yet to beat the 2nd strongest or the first strongest in 1000 chapters. Injures ain't an excuse. You gotta won with Injures sometime. Sanji doesn't have that potrayal and Wano looks like the best chance for him to get it.

Zoro was not a threat in Arlong Park, partially because of his injuries. I showed you Arlong's impression of his feats at the time, it's his determination and what that could mean for Zoro's future that impressed Arlong.
And stop with the disingenous phrasing of Sanji's words, which started with a notoriously spread mistranslation of what he said. Sanji called Arlong on another level when compared to other fish-men
Injuries play a role for the narrative. This example with Zoro is a prime one, where Zoro could not do shit against Arlong, but him fighting in that injured state is what made Arlong think that he should be eliminated now.
Same was the case with Sanji with Gin where said injuries furthered Gin's understanding of how far Sanji's willing to go for his beliefs for example. Because it was more important in Baratie to further Sanji's character at the cost of winning a fight, which is why he was injured, so that one could be achieved at the cost of the other.
Sanji's not going to defeat King this arc. Queen is his opponent
