Laying aside powerscaling for a bit (justified as Oda seems to care much less than the fandom about consistent powerscaling) and looking just at the story, last chapter caused me to make a significant update in the direction of King being Sanji's main 1 vs 1 opponent.

The hypothesis that King is Zoro's main solo fight did not predict last chapter (it would have judged it unlikely). Thus, last chapter was significant evidence against King being Zoro's main solo fight.

On the other hand, the hypothesis that King is Sanji's main fight would have predicted a chapter like the last one (it would have judged it likely). Thus, last chapter was significant evidence for King being Sanji's main solo fight.

There are still significant chances that King is indeed Zoro's solo fight (the fight is interrupted, Sanji is used as a hypetool, etc.), so it's far from a foregone conclusion that Sanji will face King as his main 1 vs 1 fight.

That said, regardless of your priors on the two matchups, last chapter should have caused a significant update in the direction of Sanji vs King (and away from Zoro vs King) due to the aforementioned reasons. Of course it's still possible to believe that King will be Zoro's main 1 vs 1 fight, but you should be less confident than you were before.

If you read last chapter and you're just as confident as you were before that King will not be Sanji's main 1 vs 1 fight, or that King will be Zoro's main 1 vs 1 fight, then you're doing something very wrong.
u underestimate the community:king:
regardless of who faces who or who takes down the enemy, the community is always right:finally:

Luffy didn't need advanced haki for Doffy AND cracker, his 2 High tier battles

Same way Sanji and Zoro won't need advanced haki and super PUs to beat King and Queen who are aren't even that special and skilled as Cracker/Doffy

Enma and RS are enough for them to Stalemate them already, just give them some flashbacks, game over

no it’s not enough they need to get another upgrade like eneis lobby so they can beat them to an extreme diff

I don't think they need to tbh. The RS and Enma plus what they surely have learned and developped during the TS (Which I believe we'll see in this war) should be enough to beat them in a high to extreme diff fight.

Another power up and they'd be at Luffy's current lvl which is clearly beyond YC and near Yonko at the moment.

critical mindset

Base Sanji is already reaming through headliners like butter (Zoro fighting elite gifters). At this point Sanji with no suit, just diable jambe, would defeat any Tobi Roppi, take Queen to high diff but he’d need to struggle more with Jack who has both got incredible stamina and durability in his favour.

King is lethal in his pteradon and fire attacks are rendered ineffective. I’d be nice to see an aerial battle between these two, and in Sanji’s favour King is still going to be less durable than Page One that was hurting from Sanji’s base kicks
see sfx stands for bodily pain, same sfx as featured for Oven

With Diable Jambe his attack power and speed is enhanced, yet P1 that has tougher durability than could not endure too much of base Sanji. Diable Jambe will still up all offensive stats for Sanji even though fire lethality isn’t gonna matter against King

For Sanji to defeat King would be a tribute to his kicking power, speed and skill, not his diable jambe. I for one think that would be nice for a change. Sanji has not had any prolonged difficult fight in the New World and this would definitely up the ante and push Sanji to the limit. Sanji will definitely be on the defensive against King’s skewering beak, so this fight will also be a true test of his evasive abilities. That’s why I see no better opponent for Sanji to use his invisibility feature on than against King.
 
Sanji vs King a Good Aerial battle , So many Possibilities To work On , Zoro vs King A Good Battle of the swordsmen but we All wanna Know more about king and him being a swordsman would be kinda Bland and Boring plus Zoro Cant really Fly and Look How Much Trouble he had with a sort of Portable Opponent in the form of Pika , Sanji vs king Makes More sense No matter How you see it , Except the general Convention Of Zoro Facing the second strongest , Maybe Zoro has a Better and Bigger role Vs Kaido Who knows ,anyway I would much rather see a Sanji vs King
 
Sanji vs King a Good Aerial battle
I don't think so. Sanji is not someone who is at his best in the air. Just because he can fly with Rokushiki, doesn't mean they make the great battle, the only thing which is shown out of his aerial ability is mostly escaping/rescuing, and obviously, he will be inferior with his floating ability to someone who can naturally fly. A better air battle is with someone like Marco, where he and king both have natural flight and not some trick to stay afloat(can take Jinbe and water as example too). King being a swordsman can probably use his swords skill too while afloat.

Next point just because king can fly doesn't mean his opponents have to do so. Take kaido himself, he can fly but we can already see he is in his normal form to fight scabbard since he can use his kanabo skills. I would assume King too most probably won't be using his flight form but more of his sword if possible.
