Yeah, outright saying he should have Rankyaku was wrong - an similar attack applicable to his style is a better word choice
Something like flying stomps. I don't remember the attack name, but vs Doflamingo he used an attack that I thought, at first, was a ranged attack because he was standing too far away from Doffy but it turned out not to be the case. He was using a barrage of stomps in DJ

Not only would ranged attacks add new dimensions to his game, specifically being able to cut things with a Rankyaku-like technique would allow him to expand his cooking-themed attacks.
Chopping, dicing, mincing, Julliene, Baton, Mandoline, Brunoise, Chiffonade - the list of variety can go on and on. With or without flames, and with or without the electric plasma effects.
We could see Sanji use moves he used against Wanze in proper combat.




Jabura, who had the best Tekkai, excellent Teppou, and his own spin on Rankyaku.
You'd think Sanji would just steal all of it.
