a shield wouldn’t abandon Luffy
sanji never abandoned luffy he
Family is worth fighting for, and wars have been started over less. A dream of cooking ingredients is weak & lame no matter how you try to sell it.
Combat wise, I honestly don’t think they’re equal at all. I think Zorro stands shoulder shoulder with Luffy, while Sanji is closer to Jimbe.
sanjis dream is about finding something no one imagines is there Its like odens dream for adventure or rogers dream
combat wise zoro and sanji are equal zoro doesnt stand shoulder to shoulder with luffy narrative portrayal and feats put zoro and sanji as equals thats how it has always been and always will be no amount of but sanji was used as a hypetool or look sanji lost to doffy( when zoro wouldnt do better) lets be real zoro and sanji were both above g2 luffy in dressrosa but below g4 luffy.
luffy has always been above zoro especially post timeskip rooftop luffy outperformed zoro throughout zoro barely gave kaido a tiny scar with his best attack using acoc.
king and queen are treated as relative ( queen being goofy is irrelevent to his strength) and both zoro and sanji destroyed their opponents after awakening and solving the crisis
( and dont give me but zoro has access to acoc while sanji doesnt ignoring that zoros acoc usage is poor and he can only use it via enma forcing it all out ie only offensive use
zoro had a difficult fight with lucci while luffy toyed with him ( and dont give me but here is a panel of the aftermath of their fights showing lucci after sometime has passed for luffy while using lucci in the immediate aftermath ( not to mention zoro uses blades luffy uses punches /blunt attacks of course there would be visible damage to lucci )
zorostans often overhype zoros feats and moments ( trying to claim zoros rooftop feats put him above the rest when they really dont
or go but sanji was not on rooftop which is irrelevent zoro got kicked off and a regen drug
