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.
Imu is like 99% responsible for whatever happened to their father, so ultimately they should help against Imu. Brooke will as well so it's not like only Luffy will be in that fight. I could see lots of team up fights this arc.
And yeah, Dorry and Brogy are basically the gateway into becoming...
Sanji/Zoro/Loki/Luffy are only 4 strong enough to fight Demon Dorry/Brogy.
Luffy and Loki will already fight Imu, them fighting Dorry/Brogy would just be to hypetool them.
So Sanji/Zoro make most sense.
The other strawhats also need to learn how to fight immortality so would be good for them to...
Dorry and Brogy have been set up since Little Garden. So I would go with them for Sanji/Zoro. They are also too strong for the others being 1.8b bounty characters with a huge demon boost. Luffy and Loki are the only others who can fight them but they're going after Imu obviously.
I feel like...
I feel like an Evil Sanji plot has to be a major crisis over a long arc for the crew, and built up over many chapters. Happening now would feel like a random side quest, and honestly the strawhats don't have enough manpower without Sanji as it is this arc.
And they can't hurt him either. Your whole "if Sanji was there nothing would change" is your own what if scenario based on nothing. Oda wouldn't have pointlessly moved him then.
