Starting to really believe in that Sanji v. Page One matchup. Not as a disrespect, but because we never actually saw what happened and I feel like Oda just either didn't want to show how strong either character was or could be, or didn't want to have Page One lose there so early.
I already can "feel" the possible rivalry coming from both characters if they ever encounter each other again.
I think it's obvious that Page One and Sanji will have a rematch now. Sanji got his 'clutch' moment of the arc via saving Momo. Sanji couldn't put down Page One, so how's he gonna take down King? Ancient Zoan durability has been hyped like mad. Plus there are interactions and things we need to see from King that don't involve Sanji at all.
- Perospero made it clear he holds a grudge against Luffy, Marco and King.
- Marco and King share similar DF's and the same position among their respective crews.
- King is still a swordsman (confirmed in OP magazine), giving him a full on katana seems random and honestly quite stupid if he isn't gonna use that against another swordsman.
Plus what do people think Page One is gonna do when he sees the guy who cost him a bunch of flak from his crewmates? He's obviously gonna wanna fight Sanji.
Not to mention, it's King. People are forgetting he's the 3rd strongest fighter on the enemy's side. And Sanji is in no way near the 3rd strongest fighter in the alliance. He won't outshine guys like Kid, Law, Zoro, Marco etc
