The only reason Sanji didn't beat Vergo was because He was the big boss of PH arc
The onky reason Sanji got low diffed by Doffy was because he was big boss of DR.
King is just a sidekick, he was never an outlier nor was he that strong.
Sanji vs King always made sense since both can fly, use fire and kicks
Anyone expecting base Sanji to lose low /mid diff should stop, RS Sanji loses high high diff to King.
Time to accept it that King is around Doffy/Cracker.
If it is base sanji that clashes King then
