I think I realized what was bothering me, between 1031 and this chapter, Queen's reaction to Sanji's kick feels exactly the same (he makes a weird scream) and Oda leaves on an annoying cliffhanger that doesn't address if he's fine or not. Like literally after 1031, Queen had no reaction to the move in 1033, which was kind of funny.
Yes, Sanji even addresses that this chapter (that every move must take its toll), but I'm really curious I'd he's not at LEAST going to get up and look battle damaged next chapter. Hell, it would be sick if Oda drew Queen like this after all those moves:
Since all 3 are technically cyborgs and it's odd that Oda hasn't shown anyone breaking Queen's skin this way yet.
Idk, I think there's still a lot more potential for this whole thing. But we'll see.
