Powers & Abilities How Sanji vs Queen and Zoro vs King play out?

that's the thing tho. I feel like it would be too much of a power escalation to give these guys multiple power ups in one arc. There are still other arcs post wano.

a marine arc is all but confirmed
so is elbaf

Luffy doesn't need to surpass the beast pirates this arc and Frankly I feel like it would be too much of an escalation for them to do so.

Like Zoro didn't even seem to be above YC3 pre-enma. The only other character to make a jump that big(sub YC3 to YC1+) in a timespan that small was Luffy but as we know Luffy is a special case as he is the main character. Its also important to note that before defeating katakuri, Luffy defeated cracker in the very beginning of the arc. If Oda wanted to have Zoro 1v1 King, he should have properly set it up in act 1. Same with Sanji and Queen.

rather, Sanji failed to take out Page one and was shown as slightly weaker than drake. On a similar note Zoro took out Killer and fainted from getting stabbed by him.

I fail to see how any of this translates to them being able to 1v1 King and Queen.
Yes, I know what you mean. And of course, it's not a given they will get to solo King and Queen, far from it.

On the other hand :

That's precisely because Luffy is the main character that Oda needed a lot time, fights and build up to make him reach this level. He probably won't be willing to dedicate so much time to Zoro and Sanji's growth so I can see him use a faster and more convenient way to make them reach YC1 and YC2 level.

Besides, Luffy is the future PK, he needs his strongest men to surpass Yonko's strongest men as fast as possible. Otherwise it will be difficult for them to even survive the final war.
 
You're acting like as if Luffy's fights are written the same way as Everyone's fights?

Thriller bark had luffy win without a clean 1v1 except the first time he fought Moriah and he got beaten by Moriah. Same as Luffy getting owned in Act 1 then he owns Kaido in the war outside of a clean 1v1.

Anha? So are you saying its impossible? Luffy can clearly remain the MC without a clean 1v1. The point of Luffy's fights are to highlight is tenacity. That's why he ALWAYS loses the first round and comes back. Thats why he always has the final blow even if there's interference or help from outside forces. That's why he always beats the main villain.

Then Zoro always fights the second strongest who always turns out to be a swordsman in a clean 1v1 because thats literally the point of his dream, he has to win 1v1 always.

This extends to all the other strawhats. There are explicit points Oda adds in all these big climactic battles that are specifuc for the person fighting.

And once again, I've shown you the thing you are saying can't happen has already happened before so...
Since when did Zoro and Sanji fought an opponent with same caliber as Luffy’s opponents and win decisively.

lolz you don't think we'll be getting to the climax of onigashima this year? :p We might not necessarily get conclusions to the fights but I reckon we'd at least know the matchups by then.
There is something you probably don't remember
False matchups :josad:

That added to Kaido's flashback, the end of act 3, the alliance vs fodders toward the castle, god knows what the hell he is going to add to not show the fights and above all this pandemic :pepehands:

King and Queen ARE NOT on Luffy's Calliber

No Commander can beat Luffy anymore.

In Water seven Luffy was barely doing anything to a guy like Blueno

Skip to Ennies Lobby Luffy has power up that low diff Blueno

Blueno is revealed to be FIVE TIMES WEAKER than Kaku and Jabra. Then Kaku eats a df that makes him even stronger than that.

So Zoro and Sanji beat guys stronger than a guy Luffy couldn't beat in the previous arc like 30 chapters back.

Luffy is beyond commanders now. Luffy will never fight a commander to high diff again because Oda doesn't have time to waste on fights that are that obvious unless is another Blueno situation with like Luffy low diffing Jack or something.

Luffy is now contending with Admirals and Yonkou. And So once again Zoro and Sanji deal with guys luffy couldn't beat in just the previous arc
 
Neither will have the fight tbh... Queen is more than likely to be defeated by Kid the man who he was torturing for quite a long time... Kid deserve to give him a payback! For King not sure quite some option! Marco(if he comes) Weevil(prob coming) Zoro simply have no chance to compete... unless it’s 2vs1.
And Zoro's final fight this arc where he goes all out and even gets stronger during the fight itself is with who? Orochi?
 
Sanji versus Blueno happens way, way after they're all aware of why Robin ran away and not confused nor hut anymore by her departure. Sanji knew what was going on when he couldn't wipe an 800 douriki CP9's ass. I mean, not only you have a flashback right after that scene you mentioned which shows that Sanji knew all along that Robin was lying, but Nami has already explained to him the whole situationby Den Den Mushi. So you basically have no point here.
This is false. Sanji was not with the crew at the time that they learned from Iceberg, and the moment you mentioned over the Den Den Mushi was only chapters before he faced Robin and even then he hadn't the full story, as he was confused when he told Robin that they didn't give a rats ass about the buster call, and she still refused to join them. Add this to when Blueno taunted him about using Robin's history to coerce her, and he wasn't prepared. He acknowledged such when he was talking to the rest of the crew when they met up again and was unsure whether Robin would come back with them regardless.
What ha occured in the New World? He didn't have much problems to blitz Oven and stop Daifuku's giant genie, and recently he didn't seem to suffer against Page One. And It's not like we've had a proper battle arc like Arabasta or Enies Lobby for us to check.
Wow. Look at that. You're using one brief clash with Daifuku and an instance in which Sanji snuck up on someone that wasn't on guard, wasn't paying attention, and was preoccupied with Pound, as well as an instance in which Sanji fought a guy and did no serious damage to him that we know of, and the guy didn't use any techniques of his own, to justify Sanji being on the level of a Yonko commander.
By the way:

-Queen is the one who sent the Tobi Roppo to kill Sanji (and they failed).

-Queen is the Beast pirate who uses science as a weapon to hurt people. Sanji had a debate with Nami about using science and thought about its benefits to protect people.

-Queen shares the same quirky personality regarding women and relationships that many of Sanji's enemies had: Mr. 2, Jabra and Absalom were all put in a women situation at some point.

-Stealth Black counterpart in the Power Rangers franchise is the black ranger who, in the Dino Thunder series, not only has the power of invisibility but has the brachiosaur as his thematic dinosaur.

-King and Queen's animosity reminds of that of Zoro and Sanji, Mr. 1 and Mr. 2 or Kaku and Jabra.

Sure, no hint at all. While it isn't a must that Sanji will face Queen, denying the possibility is baseless. If Oda wants it to happen it will happen, simple as that.
Oh, so you're using coincidental and irrelevant things to suggest that Sanji will fight Queen. Then I'll one up you and say that Chopper has bigger hints to fight Queen, as he completely and easily overcame Queen's poison and remarked that it wasn't something special. Whether or not Chopper is ready for it is one thing, and doesn't matter. Since you're using the Power Rangers themes as a justification for fighting Queen, I think mine carries more weight.
Man you really dislike Sanji lolz...the fact that you're tyrna play even Bepo off as stronger than Sanji is enough for me to know that you just can't be objective about him :josad:. I personally don't think any of those you've mentioned will be more relevant than him (whether the strongest scabbards are stronger is debatable but even that won't last long imo) but guess we'll see in a few weeks. :cheers:
Oh, I'm sorry, I guess the part where I said that "probably", which certainly does not mean "certainly", as well as the part where I said "though it's debatable," was not clear enough to express that it wasn't a certainty and that I was unsure of it to begin with. But I guess when presented with something that you may not like, it's always easier to just assign the intent as "you just hate Sanji hurr durr," regardless of whether or not that's truthful (it's not).

And how ironic that you would speak of objectivity when your argument for Sanji fighting a Yonko commander is literally "if they fight, they can just grow," whether or not they're actually in the position to do so, and based on Luffy, as if Luffy isn't special and as if that was the sole thing that he did to begin with. Forget having to climb the ranks or anything to be in position to challenge Katakuri, and whatnot.

And once again, I've shown you the thing you are saying can't happen has already happened before so...
Uh, that's false. Luffy fought Moria on his own. Nobody else touched him.
because thats literally the point of his dream, he has to win 1v1 always.
If that isn't the most fabricated nonsense.
 
This is only true if his FS is on Katakuri's level which I seriously doubt, not even close imo.
If I am right about that, King and Shiryu rekt Luffy still.
None of that matters. The plot is what makes things happen.

Luffy in the plot is going to be regarded as an actual Yonkou at the end of this arc. You can't be 1st commander level and be considered an actual Yonkou.

Whether luffy gets help beating kaido, he is going to be massively stronger than all these guys at the end of the arc. If you think King can still beat him right now yet he's gonna be at minimum Admiral level by the end of the arc then that's on you
 
Neither will have the fight tbh... Queen is more than likely to be defeated by Kid the man who he was torturing for quite a long time... Kid deserve to give him a payback! For King not sure quite some option! Marco(if he comes) Weevil(prob coming) Zoro simply have no chance to compete... unless it’s 2vs1.
Agreed.
Although I believe they will indeed fight Queen and King but they will have help and probably from the scabbards Denjiro and Ashura.
 
And Zoro's final fight this arc where he goes all out and even gets stronger during the fight itself is with who? Orochi?
You can pick anyone from the topi roppo, Drake, Hawkins and if he does fight King with the help of someone else, he would still go all out.... besides I see a decent chance of Zoro participating in the fight against Kaido not that he would last long lol, but still a helps...
 
This is only true if his FS is on Katakuri's level which I seriously doubt, not even close imo.
If I am right about that, King and Shiryu rekt Luffy still.
Shiryu is a special case. He is basically the Oden of Blackbeard's crew.

but for katakuri or King, I don't understand how you can even think they are on a similar level to Luffy. Luffy's CoO is close in strength if not above that of katakuri. reread some of the stuff from udon, Luffy was predicting the future in the exact same way as katakuri did.

Even if Katakuri's CoO might be better, given that Luffy's CoO was strong enough back in WCI for Luffy to land a single hit on katakuri in G2(this happened in the chapter before he went snakeman), current Luffy should easily be able to land hits on him. With ACoA, Luffy honestly doesn't even need G4 to beat katakuri and even if he does need G4, that's no longer a problem as Luffy has been shown using G4 on literal fodder indicating that he has at the very least increased the timelimit a little bit.
 
obody else touched him.
If that isn't the most fabricated nonsense.
You mean Luffy becoming nightmare luffy with 100 shadows isn't considered luffy getting help? Or do you mean that operation to stomp Oarz isn't considered help?

Wow. So let's say if Luffy gets a power up from Hawkin's power up care then I guess that's not considered Luffy getting help as well?

Also I suppose Zoro can tag team Mihawk and share the title of WSS with... Killer?... Whoever... Oh you must be reading quite the story to come to that conclusion

King and Queen are the same caliber as Luffy’s previous opponent's that he had a very difficult time of beating and actually needed help in a couple of them

Lmao what a weak example I thought you’ll give a good one the crew are hesitating because of Robin’s action that’s why they’re weaker than they actually are and Luffy is capable of defeating blueno even if he didn’t use g2(Luffy pummeling blueno in his base)

We’ve seen what the Yonko commanders did to Sanji’s brothers with raid suit and you seriously think that having just having a new sword will let you beat a YC1?

Arent people like Marco and Beckman comparable to Yonkos and doing great against Admirals?

I don't understand how you can even think they are on a similar level to Luffy. Luffy's CoO is close in strength if not above that of katakuri. reread some of the stuff from udon, Luffy was predicting the future in the exact same way as katakuri did.
Luffy's CoO being bad is precisely why I can think that King can beat Luffy. Udon showing of FS is impossible, Oda is messing up his own creation. It's just messing with fodder so it can be turned a blind eye on but in an actual fight it doesnt work like that.
 
You can pick anyone from the topi roppo, Drake, Hawkins and if he does fight King with the help of someone else, he would still go all out.... besides I see a decent chance of Zoro participating in the fight against Kaido not that he would last long lol, but still a helps...
Hawkins isn't in the Tobi roppo... And Zoro literally dismantled one of his best moves with ease.


You think Drake is that strong? Or do you think Zoro is that weak? Hehehe... Like Drake is the guy who will be Tanking Zoro's Mountain cutting slashes and requiring Ashura and then Zoro gets another Mihawk flashback to pull out another ass pull technique to win at the last second. All that for X Drake. And then Wano, the arc so swords and swordsmen ends with Zoro, future WSS, beating X Drake.

Hehehehe....Okay

Interesting, because if I recall, Oars is not Moria, and when Luffy fought Moria, when Moria came out of Oars, he did so alone.

Nah dude, tell me exactly when it said that Zoro must always win 1v1.
