Hmmm, it's that so, Nice way to put it Sanji scholar but what about this ?
•
Buggy said :
He's standing shoulder to shoulder to shanks
So it means Shanks is equal to Buggy in strength.
• Buggy's quote :
「あのシャンクスが動いた!!何だよ今更」
“That Shanks has made a move!! What the hell, and only now!?”
「おれだって…運でも事故でも今や
肩を並べてんだ!!」
“Even I… whether by luck or by accident, I’m now standing shoulder to shoulder with him!! ”
Buggy uses the same expression 肩を並べ that means standing shoulder to shoulder that was used by Giants for Gaban.
This is funny as hell, i'm very sure you will start giving excuses as a typical Sanji scholar.
What about a real argument?
Post PU Sanji acknowledged that RT Zoro could kill him.
