Prior to this chapter I assumed in the final war while M3 faced Gorosei and Imu, the others would deal with the HK.
We even had Chopper run down to learn the secrets in dealing with the immortality.
But now it turns out anyone not born with CoC can't do shit. So even this arc they cant do...
Honestly I like the idea of Sanji getting a unique Power of Love power up over acoc.
1 major reason is cause acoc and also ifrit jambe look boring and basically the same as their weaker versions acoa and diable jambe in a b/w Manga.
But also Oda hasn't given Sanji meaningful haki powerups all...
In WCI, people bitched at Sanji for choosing Zeff over the crew while Zeff was in danger of assassination...
But here we have Luffy choosing just to hear a story about Shanks while his crew is dying?
Jimbe being wings level is not happening, especially since he's like 5x stronger in water than on land.
If EoS Jimbe is nearly Mihawk/Shanks equal on land, then underwater he's what? A tier or 2 higher than Joyboy?
Do Jimbe fans really want Jimbe to be treated as "Jack the Drag Down" of the crew? Sanji and Zoro are going to be so far above him it doesn't make sense for him to be in their group, his name would "drag down" their reputation by eos. They'll look down on him at some point.
It's better for him...
WCI was just poorly handled due to all the PIS and dropped consequences.
BigMom should've sent Zeffs head to the crew.
Once the stakes were immediately dropped by Reiju (Lol bomb cuffs are fake and Zeffs safe), Sanji being there just felt stupid.
Then Oda had to rewrite a reason for Sanji...
Oda doesn't even care to have any of the supernova in the latest "12 people competing for One Piece" double spread.
So it makes no sense to keep them around. They aren't rivals to Luffy, not even to his 2 wings at this point.
Law at least has relevance through learning history and his df...
It would've been the same.
Zoro's intro arc is literally same.
1. He sacrifices himself to protect someone (little girl).
2. Then the same people he made the deal with are about to betray and kill him.
The 5 Road chapters at the start of the arc are filler. Oda just created random meaningless side plot so that the first 6 SH wouldn't read newspaper with Vivi message.
This is the only chance for Oda to draw humans vs giants. Chopper will learn the immortality stuff and pass on to the rest of the crew to fight Super Sommers and Killingham.
Also Killingham df doesn't suit a 1v1. Want him to fight Zoro without even half his power as the nightmares fight other characters?
In the sbs question regarding Bepo in the "number 2" colorspread, Oda literally said "Zoro is NOT the vice captain". Oda went out of his way to say this.
His early designs also showed Usopp as VC, but that obviously changed as well.
