It just shows that not only was Vergo a stronger kicker but a more skilled one. It highlights the gulf between the two in terms of kicking ability (an accesssory skill of Vergo as he relies on other skills for combined effect, such as rokuishiki, bamboo and haki).
Secondly It gives his character more depth because you would agree that there is playfulness in his way of fighting Sanji. He is not perceived that way by the fandom with his robotic, stoic serious mannerism, yet this stands as a complete and stark contrast to how the fandom perceives him. I highlight this playfulness of Vergo as something that I highly enjoy about him
@BakiDou and frankly speaking I can not stop laughing when I think about how he took a strong opponent like Sanji and played a game with him this way.
Thirdly, Vergo is heavily underrated, but this goes to show how he truly was an arc villain that posed a real threat to the the entire group. Law was genuinely worried about Vergo, and in his mind there was a real chance of failure and threat level from Vergo. One dude. The fandom heavily disses Vergo (and Smoker btw) but Vergo was in this clash portrayed as someone that was a real mogger. He has many skills and abilities that I highlight in PL threads to show just how powerful Vergo is. It shows how he was not blowing smoke or just an empty threat. Vergo was a real threat
