Avalo Pizzaro has been always destined to be Sanji's opponent ever since his introduction and here is why :
1- He is a Corrupt King from North Blue (probably has some history with Germa just like Queen) and that's big part of Sanji's fights is that there's usually a narrative in it and not just a straight up fight
2- When you lay out the matchups he is the only one that make sense for Sanji
- Usopp vs Sniper
- Chopper vs Doctor
- Robin vs strongest female
- Luffy vs Captain
- Zoro vs Swordsman
That leaves Wolf, Shot, Pizzaro, Laffite and Burgess
- Nami ain't fighting any Level 6 Impel Down nor anyone strength based she will have the navigator stealth fight (Laffite)
- Wolf is literally called collassul battleship so vs Franky who would fuse with Sunny (just like the bounty poster teased) and be a megazord fight
So that leaves Pizzaro, Shot and Burgess as the next candidates ; and I would say it's :
- North Blue Royality fight Sanji vs Pizzaro
- Heavy Drinkers fight with Water vs Fire with Jinbei vs Shot
- Bums of the crews who might not even get to fight at all (probably Burgess gets knocked out by Zoro's CoC or something and Brook doesn't get a fight per usual)
3- It will be a switchup of opponnets where Sanji fights the Giant Golem and Zoro fights the Invisible Man
But most importantly both opponents are huge upgrades compared to their previous versions :
- Shiryu >>> Absalom
- Pizzaro >>> Pica
Oars was a tower and even he wasn't as big as the sail in Thriller Bark , now look how small Thriller Bark is compared to Hachnisou ; Pizzaro is able to control a golem that's 100 times bigger than Pica
