Tbh King and Queen lasted longer than I expected, it's just the execution of the Queem fight could have been better, his vinsmoke abilities should have been introduced earlier and flesh them out better, do variations and combinations of those powers
People don't realize that when you add up all of the chapters their fights were featured, they both actually have 3 chapters worth of fighting each. This is higher than anything they've gotten before. I did a count in the spoiler thread:
Sanji vs Queen:
- 1015: 5 pages; 1 attack from Sanji, none from Queen
- 1017: 3 pages; 1 attack from Sanji, none from
Queen, went hybrid
- 1019: 1 page; no attacks from Sanji, 1 from Queen
- 1022: 3 pages; 2 attacks from Sanji, none from Queen
- 1023: 3 pages: 2 attacks from Sanji, 2 from Queen
- 1028: 9 pages; 1 attack from Sanji, 5 from Queen
- 1029: 3 pages; no attacks from Sanji, 1 from Queen
- 1031: 6 pages; 1 attack from Sanji, none from Queen
- 1033: 1 page; No attacks from either
- 1034: 14 pages; 12 attacks from Sanji (10 are part of his Ifrit Jambe barrage), 5 attacks from Queen
Zoro vs King:
- 1022: 3 pages; 1 attack from Zoro, 1 from King
- 1023: 5 pages; 2 attacks from Zoro, 2 from King
- 1027: 6 pages; 2 attacks from Zoro, 3 from King
- 1031: 2 pages; 1 attack from Zoro, 1 from King
- 1032: 7 pages; 3 attacks from Zoro, 3 from King
- 1033: 15 pages; 2 attacks from Zoro, 5 from King
- 1035: 14 pages; 6 attacks from Zoro, and 5 from King.
Summary:
-
Sanji vs Queen: 48 pages (3 chapters exactly worth), 20 attacks from Sanji (but again 10 of those are the last 2 pages of Ifrit Jambe), 14 from Queen.
- Zoro vs King: 52 pages (~3.5 chapters roughly), ~ 17 attacks from Zoro, ~20 from King
I swear, people complain about nonsense here. How a fight is portrayed? Fine, but actual content? Not at all
