Let's look at all of Sanji's previous opponents....
Kuroobi
Mr 2
Satori
Wanze
Jabra
Absaldom
Now let's look out how these fights started.
Sanji vs Kuroobi - Sanji and Kuroobi never met each other, until the final showdown where they exchanged words and fought each other
Sanji vs Mr 2 - Oda purposefully didnt make Sanji meet him until their fight. Whilst Mr 2 met the other SHs prior.
Sanji vs Sastori - Met in fight
Sanji vs Wanze - Met in fight
Sanji vs Jabra - Met in fight
Sanji vs Absaldom - Met on the ship, Sanji's hatred for him was set-up and then they later fought.
Now do you see a correlation ? Whenever Sanji meets his opponent, he always has a type of interaction with them. And if it's not time for Sanji to meet them, Oda would purposely make them not meet each other. Now what about Queen ?
Chapter 988 - Sanji is literally right close to Queen. However Oda chooses King to fight and stop him. We dont see a reaction panel from Queen or anything....just absoutely irrelevant
Chapter 990 - Sanji and Luffy literally running right in front of Queen, what happens with Queen ? He starts shooting at Drake and focusing on him.
Queen and Sanji were in close proximity twice, normally when you are Sanji's opponent. In that close proximity, you will interact with each other.....
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Now the same can be said about Zoro and King. They literally were in close proximity. And what does Oda do ? He makes King focus on Marco, and not care about Zoro. Not a glance at each other, no interaction nothing.
It's literally not that hard for Oda to set-up anything if he plans for King to be Zoro's opponent and Queen to be Sanji's. Literally not that hard. But we know the route Oda takes. We know how he makes it KING and not Queen who stops Sanji. We know how he makes it KING and not Queen, with interest in Momo and the Scabbards.
Oh well
