Speculations Sanji won't solo Queen

#62
It was a video based on Kaido and overall old chinese history.
In same video he even call out that Kaido could have a daughter who act like a boy(he didn´t know the name though), based on a old history too. Apoo and Queen where based on two characters of that history, where Apoo betrayel Queen in the end.
As I said im very unlucky since I can´t find that theory anymore, it was sooo good...

Im sure after all events, Apoo going to betray Queen.
Now the question is, would it to much downgrade for Sanji battle if Drake and Apoo help him against Queen?
Otherwise it would be kinda a hype for a calamity though to deal with three supernovas at the same tiime.
This guy is something
Yeah Sanji + Drake + Apoo is to much for a Calamity, no mater in which direction you look at it, but King + Queen vs Sanji + Drake + Apoo is a good tag battle...
Fact is, if Zoro is really going to fight King then this becomes unbalanced again: King + Queen vs Zoro + Sanji + Drake + Apoo, so Zoro's role influences a lot the Live Floor battle

I just don't see Drake vs Apoo a concrete matchup. Killer vs Hawkins is a meaningful fight seen their backstory, on the other hand Drake and Apoo skirmish seems due to a reciprocal hate without a defined reason. Unless Oda spends some time on them and reveals to us the reason of this hate then I can't feel confident about this fight really coming to a conclusion.

Apoo and X Drake is a battle of traitors/spies.

Apoo pretended to side with Kidd's alliance while he was in fact Kaido's lackey, while X Drake pretended to side with Kaido while he was in fact still working for the WG






Queen confronted X Drake as a traitor and Kidd confronted Apoo as a traitor.

That's as far as Oda cares to take that interaction.

Kidd and Queen are not meant to face Apoo or X Drake as final opponents.

Drake has more to do with Queen than you think.

As I've said in my previous post:

Not sure about Apoo, but Drake is definitely getting a piece of Queen. Drakes got some beef with Queen and vice versa.
I think Oda will build a plotline with Drake and Sanji ultimately leading to camaraderie between them and Sanji's relationship with SWORD.

Sanji and Drake got that North Blue/Germa Hero's connection. Sanji's alway been this Spy type of character and with the raid suit this even furthers this point. SWORD and Sanji will work together in the future coming arcs. Wano will be the start of Sanji's involvement with SWORD group of spies.

Sanji's involvement with the Marines post timeskip also further this point(Punk Hazard).

Also Sanji's Promise to Kuma at Thriller Bark even furthers this point because this is how he will become the most troublesome man for the world government/Marines. Inside access to SWORD'S information network.

In regards to Sanji getting help It's pretty obvious that Just like how the Judge comment was made by Queen long ago and people started saying Sanji vs Queen will happen because that hint was dropped; yet Sanji fans kept pushing for Sanji vs King.

Same thing here. Queen has shown interest in Drake as well.

Also that Drake and Sanji connection was slowly being developed at the bath house and now this fight will turn into camaraderie.
What better way for Sanji to establish a connection with the captain of the SWORD spy group then to go through with a life and death battle.

In another thread I compared Sanji to Sanosuke. Well... he's actually kind of in the middle between Sanosuke and Yamcha. The Raid Suit is a blank check that Oda has given him to get past this, but if we're still at a point in the story where he's supposed to hate it then there will be no solo W. Unless he like, mid diffs one of the Numbers.

X Drake had his own "Leave this to me"




In the same chapter Nami's, Jimbe's and Franky's opponents were established.

Apoo had a number of chances to quit the Beast Pirates, but he and Hawkins are clearly sticking with them

Killer vs Hawkins and X Drake vs Apoo are the match-ups. The sooner you guys get over it the easier it'll be to accept it.
Finally someone gets it.... people talk as if they are standing on the battlefield doing nothing yet forget they’re fighting each other.

As I've said in my previous post:
Iv'e gone through this a number of times this arc.


Kidd must fight Queen because Queen tortured him and Killer and kept him as a prisoner. They have a Rock theme and build stuff with metal. They even both have an artificial arm.

Killer must fight Queen because Queen tortured him and his captain. Killer has the Rock theme as well as part as Kidd's crew so that works out.

Killer will might not solo Queen but he will team up with Sanji to fight Queen.

People kept trying pushing others vs Queen or teaming up others with Sanji vs Queen.

Said this from day one. Was right, and will continue to be right




X Drake having to fight Queen is just like saying Kidd must fight Apoo and play a decisive role in his defeat. Apoo is the reason the Kidd alliance got demolished. Kidd has a personal grudge with Apoo and they were fighting even before they supposedly became allies. They are shown fighting eachother the first time we see them at Saobaody, and they are at each others throats during the Alliance meeting.

That ain't happening. The traitors are battling eachother



X Drake claimed Apoo as Sanji did Queen.

And that Apoo did not quit the Beast Pirates even when all the Pleasures on the Live stage did when they learned about Queen's "betrayal".

Apoo is all in with Kaido, the way X Drake is with Sword.

X Drake stood by as :

King and Queen were going 2 vs 1 at Marco and noticeably exhausting him and his DF recovery
Queen was targeting Hyogoro and almost killed him
Chopper had to stall Queen for almost 30 minutes
Chopper, one of the people Zoro left behind alongside X Drake on the live stage was a split second away from death.

X Drake has his own fight already, and once that fight reaches it's conclusion X Drake will have kept his promise of dealing with Apoo



and move on to act in whatever way favors SWORD going forward.

It's essentially not really about the necessity for Sanji to be helped necessarily. Might simply be plot pleasing plain and simple to make Apoo or Drake fight off Queen too, in that Oda sometimes likes to shape plots having power levels consistency stuck in the backlines.
It was "plot pleasing" to argue that Kidd will fight Queen a while ago.

It was also "plot pleasing" to argue that Kidd will fight Apoo, with the two having way more build up than anything X Drake has with Queen.

It's Sanji vs Queen, with the opponent already claimed and the fight has already started. The sooner people get over it the easier it'll be to accept it.

Then you are clearly underestimating Oda sensei as he simply occupied Kidd with Big Mom portraying the right thing, and also because he will presumably not let his war feature pending holes. If Apoo and Drake don't take on someone you might want to expect they could potentially join Sanji vs. Queen, probably not both nevertheless. I didn't claim that's necessarily a likely scenario to happen.

more than likely drake just fights apoo
I think X Drake will somehow get involved with whatever CP0 is doing in Wano after he deals with Apoo.

Through that we're going to learn more about CP0, SWORD, and how these units interact with eachother as the secret special forces of the WG/Marines.

They are already taking on someone.

Look closely at Apoo and X Drake and try to guess who they might be fighting



Who did XDrake tell Zoro that he will be handling
