RS is a power up...for now, it is good power up but not to the point that it will jump many levels
Yes, King is YC1...even if Sanji beats him, he is still YC1 OF BEAST PIRATES
Nope, that is not how it works...if Sanji defeats King in Wano, that puts Sanji at YC1 in wano which is <=> Luffy at WCI depends on how Sanji defeats King or how "special" is King and his powers and so far Katakuri outclassed King in portrayal as King didn't have feats I take portrayal ...King didn't get any special treatment so far from their own pirate group itself unlike Katakuri ...
Also, Sanji defeating King in next arcs may diminish Luffy struggle in WCI but it doesn't matter much because Sanji defeated King in an arc where Luffy becomes top tier
Ah! But bounty is part of the portrayal, isn't it?!
Yes, Sanji will be YC1+ in Wano if he defeats King. But since we agree that RS is not a significant power-up, it clearly means that Sanji was already YC2 level in WCI. Where did Luffy start in WCI? If you think Doffy is YC3, and since Cracker is YC3, Luffy started in WCI at say YC2.5.
In another words, in WCI, Luffy and Sanji were nearly equal. That's the conclusion.
And since you guys say that Kid and Law will be with Luffy in beating Kaido, Luffy won't be a top-tier, remember?
I don't believe any of this. But aren't these the logics you guys used to denigrate Zoro? You were specifically chirpy about them when they could be used to bash Zoro.
