.. if anything, it may even lead to the fans mocking him more.

First of all, yes, Volume title and characters in Volume cover don't (have to) correlate with each other.
Second, Oda's intention is probably hyping up Sanji and Zoro as Luffy's wings, hence both are in it.
However, you CAN'T UNSEE the implications & relations between volume cover & title. Most fans will sooner or later notice them: volume title is named Conqueror Haki, characters on the cover all have it... oh wait, but not Sanji.
Even if you believe vol title don't relate to vol cover, the connection above is still exists.

Well, you can also view vol 100 cover this way: one of them is different than the others.
Luffy is the only Paramecia & VOAT user.
Zoro is the only swordsman.
Sanji is the only non-CoC user.
Yamato is the only female, Zoan, that don't have fire related power.
Ace is the only Logia and not.... alive.
-
You can also see the volume this way: Yamato has similarity/connection/relation to all other char in the cover:
She is Ace's friend.
She waited for Luffy (possible future captain).
She met Zoro's (possible) dad.
She has Sanji's type of backstory.
-
In conclusion, I would like vol 100 to have only the duo Luffy Zoro (and Ace Yamato) if the volume title would be Conqueror Haki. Oda putting him there may seem to respect Sanji, but it can also "bully" him.
