The whole point of Zeff’s “spear of grit” speech is that Sanji is just like Zoro and Luffy but he’s holding himself back due to his ties with Zeff
Zeff is essentially his father. Why would serving under Zeff (his father figure) be a slight against him?
Katakuri still lives with his Mom at 48 despite the fact that she threatens the lives of the siblings he cherishes with her rampages
What does this part even mean?
He’s weak against women… we’ve known this. 2 of the Roger Pirates 3 CoC users got onetapped by Shakky because they couldn’t fight back lol
All of the Strawhats do this, no?
I didn't say that there was anything wrong with Zeff per se, but that having Zeff persuade him makes him different.
Katakuri was the right hand of an emperor. They ALL deferred to him after mama.
What would Black Maria or Khalifa mean? That he will put his enemy above his own interests. At this point it's a form of cowardice because he'll still let others do the job, like Zoro.
- Sanji chose his family over himself. Ace did the same thing, still a conqueror. Zoro did the same thing, still a conqueror. Oden did the same thing, still a conqueror.
- Always stood at the left or right hand of whoever was in charge, Sous Chef of the Baratie/Left Hand of Luffy/Captain of the Twirly Hat Crew. Many conquerors are subordinates, Ray and Gaban to be most specific
- Choosing his ideals over his life is pretty normal for conquerors? That’s literally how Ace died.
- Sanji never defers? When he disagrees with Luffy or Zoro he takes it to them directly. It’s not like Nami or Usopp who asks another to intervene on his behalf.
So how come these disqualify Sanji when other CoC users are the same?
- Sanji didn't choose anyone. He was kidnapped. Ace agreed to serve WB under his own power and when they split on Teach, he got his way. WB didn't sign off on Wano, either, Ace just had the self determination. After Sanji made his choice, Luffy punched him and told him to come back lol. Which he did.
- Ray and Gaban haven't had captains before or since Roger. They never became part of a family by force, either.
- if you are saying that he's never followed Zoro's lead or got sat down for trying to take the lead, idk what to tell you.
