Again I do not try to shoehorn anything. We have canon material where Sanji has been clearly put on a pedestal regarding Luffy reaching his dream. Those kind of statements were never made for another crewmate (be it Zoro or anyone else). That’s a fact.
Yep Zoro did all that I never denied that. Yeah Zoro will help Luffy reach his dream, never denied that. What I’m saying is that Sanji is more important than Zoro to help Luffy reaching his dream.
The same way, Robin is more important than Jinbe for Luffy to reach his dream.
Why do I think that Zoro is the more endurant Straw hat? Because Nami said he is the toughest of them in TB.
Why do i think that Zoro is the second strongest? Because Luffy said that Zoro can deal with anything in Dressrosa and was shocked that his crew could be defeat by Enel if Zoro was there.
You blaming me for not reading the story but you refuse to acknowledge canon information.
Those kind of statements were not made for anyone else. Yet those kind of statements don't put Sanji over anyone else, either.
Why is Sanji more important? Because he was called wings? So was Zoro, directly by author, even.
Because Luffy said he can't become PK without Zoro? Why'd he need to say that to someone who is always by his side? Hell, Luffy never said it to Robin but she is a
necessity for Luffy to become Pirate King.
I can straight up say Zoro is more important because he actually does a lot more on screen to keep Luffy in check, focused and helps him become a better leader. And he has directly saved Luffy from death more times than any other crew-mate, as well.
But I'm not.
Every nakama helps different way, every nakama gets different portrayal, hype and words of importance. Sanji being called wings or the statement in WCI gives him importance, but it is irrelevant to other crewmmates. It does not give him importance over them.
If you're trying to logically argue which nakama is necessity for Luffy to become Pirate King, simply referring to their role without talking about portrayal- then in all honesty, Zoro and Sanji, role-wise, are among least required and most replaceable lol. Ofc that is not true when you take their portrayal, actions, and importance in the story into factor.
Luffy only said one thing and went quiet after . Again you chose to stick with lies
If sanji had not come in Noone would have listened to zoro . He had to actually pull the am leaving card . Do you know how hard that is?? Every strawhat keeps luffy in check. That is what they have being doing all these while
Nami sanji even jimbei is doing it . Why would you sit here an lie your butt off. There is basically panels in skypiea where sanji disciplines ussop and luffy cos they were messing around .
Luffy went quiet after Zoro started talking, yeah.
Nami agreed with Zoro (was sad about it, but did agree) even before Sanji started talking. Sanji's talk wasn't even necessary there.
Also, that was a critical decision, and Zoro took the initiative. Sanji wasn't bothering to stop Luffy even though it was important for his leadership to not do it.
And if you're comparing the the massive EL moment which was arguably one of the best Zoro has in that regards, to the thing with Sanji punching Luffy for mimicking him... then idk what to tell you, I'll just ignore you in that case
Anyhow, Oda himself stated Zoro acts as the VC or right hand man, and he has done so countless times. I've listed 5 other examples in my post earlier which you ignored. If you're denying something canonical, at least do so with reasoning rather than sprouting bullshit.
