    King might have barrier haki like the scabbards, but that isn't impenetrable and isn't as hax as future sight is, no chance he has Luffy level penetration haki as that is being reserved as a protagonist plot hype. Sanji hasn't used Diable Jambe or Hells memories yet either and Franky/Usopps...

    Katakuri is literally more difficult to tag than Kaido or Big Mom (but without their insane almost impervious durability of course), King doesn't have that freaky level of haki hax, if Luffy was able to hit Katakuri it would have been a very difficult fight still but no growth would have been...

    Cracker has a stall tactic vs. someone with a time limit, bad matchup for Luffy, it wasn't a difficult fight Luffy had to grow to beat, just outlast his ridiculous hax. Also Luffy could have beat him a lot easier by using snakemans superior speed but was held back by PIS/ snakeman not being...

    Hence why Mihawk felt the need to test the gulf between him and Sickbeard, and fail to even reach him while Shanks was casually clashing with Lesssickbeard. Let's rediscuss this when Mihawk has shown something better than clashing with mediocre YCs.

    Cracker had a freaky broken paramecia designed to stall, vs. someone with a time limit that is a bad matchup, at the end of the day he got one shot, and did no significant damage to Luffy, it was just a great stall fruit, his combat skill didn't grow from this fight like it did vs. Katakuri...

    No Luffy is aiming to be the pirate king and is stronger than both at both, he is gunning for Yonko level, all the way back to Arlong Park his thing was being stronger than his crew, we haven't even seen what advanced CoC does yet, so magazine comments designed to hype all the main fighters...

    As the left and right hands of the pirate king they know they have to step up and be relevant in this war, they've had a week to mentally and physically prepare, that is a massive time span when the plot wheels are moving. Zoro has had on panel training time with a new sword capable of...

    1) Katakuri is a shade stronger than King, (given more absolute respect in his crew, is seen as ultimately competent and undefeatable, and more useful than Big Mom in many ways) 2) Katakuri is a bad matchup for Luffy with his fruit mimicing most of his abilities, King's fruit while powerful is...

    I think up to Wano is a bit of an exaggeration, most of post-timeskip Luffy has been PIS nerfed, but by WCI he was able to shine. Even in Zou the moment where he forces Momo to be a partner and hold his head up high is a great moment that shows off his unique elements as a character while...

    Alvida and Ulti say hi. Luffy and Big Mom have too much beef, and Yonko are people Luffy has to topple as they are claimers to the Pirate King throne. Zoro can fight Smoothie who is very strong, maybe stronger than King.

    Chapter Discussion One Piece Chapter 988: "I've kept you waiting"

    You said "Chapter: “Sanji gets manhandled by King so badly that he thinks he’s going to die via a hole in his stomach.” " That is Sanji downplay and yes it is ignoring points 1 and 2 and focusing on the conclusion of the clash, that as of yet has done no damage. Point 3 yes it was casual to talk...

    Just like Sanji hasn't used diable jambe, Raid suit elemental attack? , hell memories, spectre or whatever else he has hiding. And Sanji is joking around with "oi oi oi" and with the capacity to talk to Momo to cheer him on while fighting. Katakuri has CoC future sight and a special paramecia...

    That isn't really an unbiased take on the chapter either, plenty of counter points to your narative: 1.Sanji achieves goal of saving Momo 2. King fails to recapture Momo 3. Sanji casually cheers on Momo while fighting King 4. Sanji says oi oi oi in a non serious manner The truth lies somewhere...

    He also says oi oi oi and is chatting which kind of downplays the situation and makes it more gag based, but hey. :suresure: Seems like a Kizaru moment.

    At some point in time every ancestor decided to forge their own name and path, otherwise we'd all have the same name coming from a common ancestor, considering the Germa have never helped Sanji in his life (aside from raid suit lol) and actively screwed him over many times I see no problem with...

    Very true lol- Sanji is worth 1000 men guys it'll help in the war I promise, forget that Big Mom is worth 5000 and brought several 1000 enemies lol.:sanmoji:

    I can see where you are coming from to a certain extent but neither Sora or Reiju were leaders of the organization and it is a patrilineal organization so I don't view them as "true" Vinsmokes either. Also say if Sora was a celesital dragon ancestor would Sanji have to be proud of that and...

    It's a completely different scenario, Momo not denying Oden was a sign of courage for an 8 year old about to be murdered to not spit on the legacy of his great father who gave him a great name out of love, and to not spit on the respect of all of his retainers who are fighting this war for him...
