You are wrong. The black maria treatment just implies amazing payoff. Thinking we want to settle for less because of it is dumb af. Zoro ain't fighting king at this point, marco sure as hell isnt getting a proper prolonged 1v1. Sanji is the way.
not just for sanji, but for king also. King needs hype, he needs a hype tool to dunk on a little. Marco ain't it, zoro isn't up to it, he is near dead already, king can give sanji a proper beating before sanji beats him and actually get to showcase himself in that fight.
Zoro fans however should be more than content with queen at this point. A yc2 in a near dead state is crazy. Its phenomenal even. Zoro is more hurt now than luffy was after katakuri. Queen in this state is super generous.
