Future Events Is Oda going to circumvent King being a swordsman for Sanji?

#22
Just like Katakuri was superior Luffy in almost every aspect
(Haki: better in CoA and CoO, especially CoO
DF: Katakuri used his DF for elasticity purpose too. Additionally, it provided stickiness. Moreover, he used his DF like a Logia (partially thanks to it being a special Paramecia) and his DF was awakened
Agility/Speed: Katakuri was as fast as Snakeman and could clash evenly against it.
Weapon Use: Unlike Luffy, Katakuri is a spear user and a master marksman.)
King seems like a superior Sanji in almost every aspect too.
(Haki: don’t know about his CoO but he could kind of react to invisible Sanji. Don’t need to talk about CoA I guess.
Agility/Speed: King, compared to Sanji, is more agile in air thanks to his DF and his wings. Moreover, he seems pretty fast too.
Durability/Endurance: His DF seems to provide better endurance than RS.
Strength: King seems to be more adept at kicking. Moreover, he is using a power extremely similar to DJ, which might be more powerful than Sanji’s fire.
Weapon: Unlike Sanji, King is a sword user.)

Katakuri fight was a turn around for Luffy as it symbolized him surpassing his superior version. King, to me, seems like superior Sanji and this is exactly why I believe Sanji should, with or without help, take part in King’s fight to symbolize Sanji surpassing his superior version.

In my opinion, superior Zoro might very well appear in one of the next arcs (Elbaf, Lodestar, Edd War? etc.) and that might be his turn around moment.

(Zoro is strictly a swordsman, his opponent might be a more adept swordsman with other fighting skills too. However, King, if anything, seems more similar to Sanji in terms of power)

King was already confirmed to be a swordman tho so the flying ,flames,etc are the extra abilities he posseses not the other way around.



:few:

If anything Wano the Samurai country is where Zoro should meet a challenge don't you think ?

Sanji actually doesn't need a "Katakuri " like fight cuz his purpose in the story doenst demand such.

Btw no part in the story of OP is it said that Zoro must fight "strictly " ,"adept " swordmans or whatever you try to imply ( pure Swordman right? LMFAO). The only rule is being the second strongest member of the enemy crew.

King is not a "superior" version of Sanji. Sanji with boosters should be much faster than King, and in terms of physical strength, he physically stopped his attack, and still has DJ to use. Being a Zooan King should have better endurance, but Sanji should have better durability with RS.

And I've said this before, but Sanji and Zoro cannot be pushed past high diff, because they always take care of Luffy after.

You think that his purpose is just be a cook who has an unimportant dream and is less important than Worst Generation members? Oda has never prioritized one character over other and that includes Sanji and Zoro too. Zoro is not more important for the story, neither is Sanji.
Sanji, post timeskip, is portrayed as a dynamic and complex character who has his own strengths and weaknesses (in terms of personality and power). Oda has set him up to overcome his weaknesses and solidify his strengths in the story, and this includes both sides of the coin.
2) When was it confirmed that King is the second strongest crew member of BP? He may very well be less stronger than Queen. Queen was shown as the most important crew member of Kaido up to this point of the story. He is in charge of the prison, tortured and broke the will of countless samurais and captains of pirate crews. Is outright the most liked person in BP (foot soldiers wise) and is the one who fires up the crowds to take charge and fight against enemies. Taking down Queen means avenging the souls of fallen samurais and breaking the spirit of enemy lines, which is a quite fitting and extremely important role for Zoro in Wano Arc.
3) Just being a swordsman never outshines the other aspects of fighting skills.

First I never said that his ambition has no purpose that's you jumping into ideas.
Sanji is emotions and cooking first then a fighter.
WCI his own arc focused on his main attributes so idk why get upset.

"Oda never prioritize..."

Yes he did, in the throne wars speech Zoro appears along the people who will shake or shape the new era you can ramble and say small or big contribution it doesn't matter the fact is there.

2)We simply go by cards order King> Queen nothing else.
Anything else you say is headcanon (same if I try to add more ).

"Taking down Queen avenging the souls..."
Try something else bruh.
Zoro role is taking the second strongest nothing else as I said .

3) True indeed, that's why King being a Swordman that flies or uses fire is ok like Fujitora sending you meteors,Zoro who can throw tornados barehanded or Law swapping places with someone.

I don't feel like anything will change with King

He is obviously a swordsman and Oda can't change that

Also Sanji won't be his opponent, he lacks the power to
He's used his devil fruit and kicks, more than his swordsmanship.......Even when he saw Momo flying away his first instinct was to Kick.He also kicked Big Moms ship down in his Zoan form. Also What kind of swordsman gets his sword shot out of his hand? lol It remains to be seen how King truly fights tho.... so we'll have to wait and see.

Swordsmans grip isn't infallible.

Even Greg is throwing out the possibility


Do you even understand the character you stan?Sanji refuses to use his hands in battles because he believes a cook's hands are pure and aren't to be ruined in useless acts like fighting.
Are you on drugs? Sanji is a master at blade handling.



Sanji also believed that he didn't want to be associated with Vinsmokes, and know he's casually using their weapons. Why stop at suit, when Judge trained in swordsmanship

it’s very interesting sanji cares about the crew a lot and might still feel guilt from every thing that happened at whole cake it would be very interesting if sanji gives it his all

That's a huge Chekhov's Gun in all honesty. There is no reason that Oda would have placed that into the story if he wasn't going to make good on it. People could try to argue that it was thrown in to explain how Sanji handled the knives to well, but there was no need for that, as everyone just assumed it was because of his skills as a chef. The fact that Oda blatantly made it known that Sanji knows how to use swords will play a factor down the line.

In fact, there is a question as to how Sanji freed Momonosuke. Those chains didn't looked like they were "busted" apart, but rather cut apart. I said in the spoiler thread that I wouldn't be surprised if the Raid Suit is equipped with an invisible blade of some sort. It would be a pretty epic way of introducing Sanji using a Sword is if we see King fighting against an invisible Sanji, and saw King's sword clashing with thin air, and when Sanji makes himself visible, he is shown wielding a Sword of his own.
