Its been Lurking in my head so I'll come out and say it.
Sanji and death sigs, remember them?
who ever lights them properly isn't present atm!.
then You go to thriller bark where Sanji rides Cerberus ... the gate keeper of hell or land of the dead.. as they enter into a grave yard in TB.. the same arc where sanji nearly transforms into.. a devil perhaps.. note that tho Cerberus is from Greek mythology and is Hades's gatekeeper .. the devil or Akuma (evil fire spirit) and hades are both rulers of the underworld aka the land of the dead.
Why are there so many links between Sanji and the underworld.. and his fire abilities (Akuma the fire spirit) ...? the same arc where he nearly transforms to save nami...
Tho Hades and The Akuma aka Devil are opposites in characteristics and demeanors.. one welcomees mankind another misguides and spreads turmoil.
it seems that sanji is the devil with hades's characteristics... seeing sanji isn't proud, provocative, doesn't evoke corruption etc
and then you realize sanji is about to becomes whatever a devil should be in the upcoming chapters .. proud, cold,heartless,and inhumane.
the true Akuma... the evil fire spirit.. that would even insinuated by sanji himself cause devastation.
Hades and the Devil...
can it be.. that just like brook invokes the chill of the underworld... sanji might do something similar but with fire
unless brook's frost comes from his DF.
whatever bruh.. her ya go justt slapped a good chuck of some random detail messing my head up.
