What I’d LIKE to happen is another showcase of Sanji’s speed rather than a direct clash
Sanji moving so fast that he can grab the kids, drop them off, and run back to grab other kids would be sick
Now if they were to actually fight… I’m just not sure. I feel like Sanji not being able to hit women because he doesn’t want to forsake Zeff (his father figure and the one that truly saved him) is a great trait to have
And I feel like Oda agrees which is why all in all I don’t think a fight between them will actually happen
If and only if it actually happens and Sanji’s able to overcome his “weakness” then I think he’ll make his flames hot enough to completely evaporate Zaza, since she’s literally just water lol
I feel like there’s in no point to this interaction if Sanji isn’t put in a bind. So I don’t really see why Oda would go out of his way to avoid this fight. Assuming Sanji is indeed able to utilize his speed to outmaneuver Zaza & somehow save those massive ass giant kids (which in hindsight could be interesting flex of his current strength) it’s not like that will get rid of Zaza so the problem still remains.
Already said this in Sanji FC but if Sanji is pit against Zaza I don’t think he just outright forgets his code & starts smacking her around, if that were the case Zaza shouldn’t really be presenting much of a challenge to Sanji. What makes this fight interesting is how Oda could potentially write Sanji to defeat Zaza without hurting her and there are several ways around this like intimidation kinda like Zoro did with Monet or maybe even via PoL as that ability seems to be able to allow Sanji to do ridiculous tings or maybe even conquer Zaza without domination like typical CoC but rather something more characteristic to PoL.
Sanji till now has been unable to deal with this problem. It is all well and good resolving yourself to not hurting women but if Sanji is put in a situation where those he loves could potentially die as a result of that decision without being able to rely on a nakama, what does he do?
Does he just die on that hill alongside his Nakama or does he break his code to save his Nakama or does he find some way to save his Nakama without breaking that code?
This is why this fight is appealing to me personally from the perspective of growth for Sanji and whilst I don’t really care that much about whether he gets CoC or not this potential challenge is the most sensible way for him to get it as opposed to him unlocking it from fighting a character he just swift diff’d a few chapters ago coz he got a buff.
