Oda wouldnt waste 3 pages on this shit if King wasnt Sanji's opponent
Like he couldve literally wrote Sanji flying away with Momo or have Queen fighting Sanji. Like he did not have to do what he did in Chap 988.
In those 3 pages....Oda set-up.
- King wanting to kill Momo
- King's interest Sanji's invisibility
- King wanting to split Sanji in half
