Sure in a black and white manga panel. Though see it with colour....Sanji looks like his son whilst Zoro looks like a cosplayer.
In black and white manga panel, and in color, it looks exactly the same with Zoro having green hair instead and Sanji blonde.
Why is a source needed ? Its pure logic....in which universe would Oda have time to right VC when hes rushing the manga itself.
Same Oda who admitted to writing and directly working on Databooks in SBS lol.
He talks about Zoro first because Zoro's literally in front of him fighting lol. What even is this argument lol. Fudge the anime....no self respecting debater uses the anime. If you wanna debate the anime...go to the anime section.
He talks about Zoro, mentions 2nd strongest, then third strongest, then talks about Sanji as if now realizing he's there.
Literally head-canon to assume Queen factually meant Sanji was number 2. Could mean Zoro, too. Anime implies it's Zoro, too.
Queen said it....so why should BM have to say it.
He didn't.
The mere fact that your entire argument boils down to a panel which could very well apply to Zoro just as much alone proves me right.
Stphen Paul redid the Viz early chaps....so get his translation from his scripts. Prove it to me then.
I showed you the literal word "Partner" emphasized out... in HQ panel, exact same letters.
There's a reason why other translations had it as partner, too;
Here's Sandman translating it as partner, too.
Come on, mate. It's not that huge of a deal. Just one of many parallels. I'm actually responding and taking you seriously, don't cope in denial so hard that you devolve to Ndule and Erkan level takes.
