First contact I had with One Piece in general was a dubbed random episode of One Piece.
It was the episode of Sanji fighting Gin. I just thought the dude in a suit fighting with kicks was dope.
Sanji legit was the reason I got into One Piece in the first place. And it was due to his fighting style. :P
But I've never thought of him as a "blonde Zoro". Doesn't mean I don't miss his 1v1's. His last relevant W in the story was against freaking Wadatsumi. And it even wasn't a clean 1v1. was more like a 2v1 with Jinbei. No need to have a fight every arc like Luffy or Zoro. But AT LEAST on an arc centered around HIM would have been nice, ngl. :P
