General & Others Egghead Zoro and Sanji switch roles

#41
With Sanji Vs Lucci we’re looking at a much Longer , more brutal, but also more aesthetically pleasing Fight.
Sanji manhandled a Seraphim on his own. S-Shark couldn't even hurt him with a freebie Karatate Fishman attack.

The hell is Lucci going to do against Sanji? Where is the evidence he has the AP to hurt Sanji? He doesn't even have the speed to keep up.

Zoro protects Vegapunk and fends off NusJuro pretty damn good.
Setting aside it was Luffy's failure to cover Sanji that got Vegapunk killed in the first place:


Zoro's relative lack of speed, mobility and traverse would've ruled out running on his own, which would've been a terrible use of Zoro's skill set anyway, considering his defensive capability with his swords.

Zoro isn't built to run and protect the weak at the same time, but he is built to hold the line.

I think he and Luffy could've saved Vegapunk if they held the line together long enough for reinforcements to arrive - which it would if Sanji fought Lucci, cause he'd fuck him up in no time.

I have a controversial opinion: I think that the strawhats would have a lot of trouble if Zoro and Sanji switched roles. I think that both would be able to deal with their respective opponents, but things would play out a lot harder...
  • Zoro wouldn't have the idea of imprisoning Kaku with the bubble gun, so he would've to fight against him. He would surely beat Kaku, but I don't think that it would be fast enough;
  • Sanji would take longer to incapacitate Lucci IMO, as Zoro has greater lethal capacity;
  • As Zoro would take his time to beat Kaku, both Vegapunk and Bonney would probably die early.
From there on, it would be a snowball effect.

It was stated Zoro was leaking COC. If Zoro fought Saturn he will land and the regeneration ability's mystery ends there. So you can't put Zoro there.

Lucci fight will be the same, he won't land any attacks on Sanji either.
Oh No he’s landing attacks on Sanji , Sanjis going to be up close in personal even more so than Zoro clashing kicks etc. and it will be a High Diff Fight for damn sure. Zoro was able to avoid a lot of Lucci as stuff because of his swordsmanship , he had ranged attacks to keep distance and Lucci

@Rumble FIRST of all…… there’s no proof Sanji beat a Seraphim, all we know is that they end up in Bubbles, The only group that knew how their abilities worked was Zoro’s Group in the Manga because Zoro fought King. THATS THE TRUTH, YOU PEOPLE LOVE TO IGNORE

2nd, MATCHUPS MATTER…… Awakend Lucci
Queen was a Stationary Fighter with Durability and Endurance Hax Type, Lucci is a Speed based fighter with Endurance Hax. He’s not just going to let Sanji hit him.its just not the same fight. Not saying Sanji can’t win, but he has to be more surgical with his movements against Lucci.

Read what I actually wrote before accusing me. I said Sanji manhandled S-Shark, because he did that on panel. Whoever put him in the bubble is unknown because it happened off panel.

What also happened on panel is that S-Shark couldn't hurt Sanji even with a freebie.



Sanji sent him flying twice, compare that to S-Bear and S-Hawk.

Unlike against Zoro, Lucci has ZERO ADVANTAGES against Sanji.

Sanji has superior durability, speed, endurance and better AP.

Unlike Queen, Lucci has no ranged attacks like lasers or an AoE attack like poison. He couldn't even buy time against Sanji, he'd just get his ass beat worse and faster than Jabra.

sending someone flying doesn't mean you damaged them

Lucci kills Sanji, you got this mf stopping bedridden Kaku instead of Gucci who hurt his master lmao.

Zoro saves Vegapunk and helps Luffy right there, let's not forget how Luffy interacts when Zoro right there helping him and with Sanji being there :

Against Kizaru and Saturn ( where Luffy needed help ASAP ) :
He asked Sanji to return

Against Old Gaban ( where Luffy didn't need help at all ) :
He asked Zoro to tag team

Also those Goroseis Mfs wouldn't want to experience what Nusjuro felt :


:goatasure:

Bro The Seraphim have Haki and so many other abilities , Sanji took a Punch that’s good for Him, but it doesn’t tell me he’s above S Shark or any of the Seraphim for that matter. They Take Damage at High level that’s their thing…..Oda put emphasis on knowing how their abilities worked for a reason.
@Rumble Are You Trolling? Rob Lucci is one of the best Hand to hand combat fighters in the series, of course he has Ranged Attacks, He’s a Master of the 6 Powers………. He has Advanced forms of Rankyaku , Paper Art, Tekkai, Shigan Etc…….
Also UNLIKE QUEEN Sanjis advantages against Lucci ARE VERY SLIGHT, This is a much harder battle than Queen bro….. idk why you trynna play this dude like Sanji one shots him or something, what are Sanjis feats against Fast Fighters, how many opponents like Lucci has he faced ? Vergo in Punk Hazzard is probably the closest thing and that wasn’t anything easy for Sanji at the time.

I didn't argue Sanji can tank any anything they can throw at him - we know for a fact his exoskeleton doesn't defend against lasers.
Despite this, Sanji is still physically dominant because not even Fishman Karate can hurt his exoskeleton and he has the speed to dodge and outpace lasers as he has been doing consistently.

I wouldn't go so far as to say Sanji damaged S-Shark, only hurt him momentarily and leave a mark on his chin.

While we're on this topic, let's keep it consistent on the absorbing damage point, because that applies to Sanji also, though it's not really acknowledged.

@Rumble Are You Trolling? Rob Lucci is one of the best Hand to hand combat fighters in the series,
Even if you want to argue Lucci is more skilled - which I don't agree with - Sanji clearly has better physical abilities and feats to prove he'd crush Lucci in comparisons.

of course he has Ranged Attacks,

Mind you, a nerfed Sanji already destroyed Jabra - the only Rokushiki master with the ability to move using Tekkai, who also possessed a custom Rankyaku.


The simple truth is, Sanji physically dominant against Lucci - across. He has the feats to prove it, and his AP is self-evident.

Still a High Diff Fight, I don’t see how Sanji could end this guy in Low or Mid Difficulty, An Awakened Zoan , Top Tier Martial Artist , Hand to Hand combat etc. Decent Haki enough to allow him to clash with Zoro’s Swords. Zoro Mid Diffed him if we’re being honest. This wasnt Pica hiding for an entire arc they were boxing for 20 Chapters, I don’t think it’s crazy to say Sanji High Diffs Him. You bringing up physical strength but Sanji is a surgical dude, very pin point , I know he has Ifrit Jambe now but Lucci got sliced up and was still standing…….

Reminder that Stella dying is a narrative requirement for the broadcast. If Zoro is in Stella guard duty, the scene of Stella asking to let him die will be shown beforehand (not later like Sanji's).

So when Stella died, it will be seen as Zoro honoring someone's wish, and won't be seen as failure to protect someone like what happened to Sanji.
