It's funny but whenever Zoro has a poor showing it is always chalked upto the plot but when Sanji has a bad showing it is oh he is weak, he is out of the monster trio! Can you imagine Zoro and Sanji's role's were reversed, Zoro breathing hard against Gifters
and Sanji one shotting the only headliner able to control his smile DF and the leader of the gifters, they would portray Sanji as weak
I think this comes from WCI. Oda literally fucked Sanji's portrayal.
He could fucking murder each one of his brothers but no let's use Zeff's photo.
If Sanji was serious at the time Oven got kicked in the head he would be dead.
The most annoying and problematic part was Sanji's escape with Luffy.
Oda literally made a bunch of fodders relevant for the time of the escape and it was bad.
I was bashed by the community I was part of before I joined OJ because I was the one who thought that Sanji would fight a commander.
( I'm a big fights guy so I love whenever shit like this happen )
But no let's give Luffy almost every commander fight with a shit ton of plot armor.
Then Oven happened and I was like yeah let's murder him.
No.
The thing I'm scared the most is that Oda may give Zoro and Sanji their end game fights against Tobi Roppo......
