Goroseis as final villains is also kind of strange because it seems like the four of them are basically the same character with a different skin. Since Oda is an author who likes to diversify the characters' personalities a lot it's hard to see him developing four different fights of characters that have similar personalities in the same arc.
Taking down a Commander who only exists to push his Boss Agenda doesn't apply to Final Battle,
If you look at Pre-TS, Sanji Defeated Kuroobi, Mr. 2, Satori & Jabra, They were only Executives Protecting Villain's Throne,
But in Final Adventure of SHs, his Opponent was instead Absalom,
Who wasn't Introduced as a mere Commander, but He was One of Mysterious Four,
Who had his own Agenda/Dream, also Sanji had a Personal Grudge against him for his DF & the Fight was about Saving Nami ... etc
If you look at Rest, They also weren't just given a mere Commander to Fight,
It felt Personal, and against Villains with their own Agenda/Dream as well, who needed to be Defeated for their Existence Alone, not just because They were working for Main Villain, such as Hogback vs Chopper or Ryuma vs Zoro or Perona vs Usopp or Luffy vs Oars,
Stop looking at Commanders or mere Henchmen to discover who are SHs Final Opponents,
It's not Admirals or Gorosei or Titanic Captains or Holy Knights or Red-Hair Commanders or Cross Guild Recruits ... etc
It's Characters who if SHs had their own Manga, They would be their Final Villains,
Characters who are like their Natural Opposites or SHs Nemesis,
So We are looking for Characters who were Introduced as Mysterious Lurkers with their own Agenda/Path, whom SHs need to Take Down,
Did We get Introduced to Someone who is Created to be Zombie Ryuma of World? Yes, it's Mihawk
Did We get Introduced to Someone who is Created to be Zombie Oars of World? Yes, it's Blackbeard
Did We get Introduced to Someone who is Created to be Perona of World? Yes, it's Imu
So what about World Version of Hogback & Absalom?
We are looking for a Lurking Scientist that Oda Teased + Lurking Underworld Villain who wants a Bride,
Fortunately both were mentioned, the Mysterious Scientist is Willie Gallon,
While Mysterious Underworld Villain is Vander Decken The First, who was Cursed to Live Forever & He targets Poseidon,
Don't be Surprised if Final Fights for SHs include:
Luffy vs Blackbeard
Zoro vs Mihawk
Sanji vs Vander Decken
Usopp vs Imu
Chopper vs Wille Gallon
... etc
These are Villains who must not "Exist", They aren't just Henchmen who happen to be on Opposite Side of SHs.
Each Fight is it's Own Story.
Imu being the final one , I still don't see that being a proper 1v1 , multiple people would be involved.
That leaves us with Gorosei , Luffy fights one , Zoro fights one , Law is ofc coming back , Sabo will play a major role to or dragon.
But the next strongest faction which is Holyknights is where I can see some Fights for Sanji.
Frankly speaking Sanji isn't connected to any of the Gorosei anyhow.
And with his current showing of strength , Gorosei feels like a dream.
I don't know what next power sanji is gonna hold but it needs to be massive to cover the gap from Queen to Gorosei.
We saw pensioner Rayleigh fight off prime Kizaru, scare off prime Blackbeard and his coat in his prime is remarkably similar to WSS Mihawk which might indicate Ray was WSS. We can confidently assess that EoS > Rayleigh in his prime would have defeated prime Admiral Kizaru and at the very least scarred or badly injured BB (who likely is above even prime Ray).
If Gaban jobs then there is not much hope for Sanji. YC and that's it. If an Admiral like Green Bull shows up and Gaban fights him off like Ray did then Sanji will be a bit above that level EoS.
Zoro fought Kaidou too , Zoro beat Hordy even before Luffy.
Sanji more over never sniffs Main antagonist lol or gets clowned. This " If zoro fights this , Sanji does too " is dumb , Zoro beat two seraphim in Egghead, Sanji got clowned by one instead.
If Zoro fights Mihawk does that mean Sanji is world Strongest too lmao.
An entire Arc , yet to be Weaker than zoro in wano.

Zoro fought Kaido, but Kaido was not his opponent he was Luffy's opponent. Zoro's opponent in Wano was King and Sanji's was Queen.
I don't watch the Anime, and Anime is not cannon.
Zoro and Sanji are equals, Zoro being slightly stronger, Oda is very clear with that. That dynamic existed since the beginning and will exist until the end.
Post automatically merged:
Sanji did ''sniff'' the main antagonists in Egghead, more so than Zoro.
I'm talking about power levels here.
Gorosei all are relatively equal as far as I can tell because there's no hierarchy between them.
King and queen were still part of a hierarchy.
King being superior to Queen. Queen himself admitted you can't defeat that man.
Zoro and Sanji are equals, Zoro being slightly stronger, Oda is very clear with that. That dynamic existed since the beginning and will exist until the end.
Anime did nothing out of the way lol , Zoro did went to S-Hawk , S-Bear was also commanded to target Robin only.
Nami having the gun and helping sanji out is also possible. Anime did what oda didn't.

" Slightly Stronger " My bro Sanji not better than Zoro in terms of anything except speed.
Zoro clowns him hard in base form.
Start of Wano Zoro Without enma beats sanji.

Just because there's no apparent hierarchy when it comes to the Gorosei doesn't mean they're equal in power, and they are numbered with Saturn being number 5, we need more context behind that.
Zoro fights the strongest and Sanji the second strongest, we agree on that.
Yes they are equals lol
''Anime did what oda didn't. ''
I agree
Soon enough both Zoro and Sanji will fight Admirals, and then the Gorosei. There's no way for me to convince you that this will happen, but it's obvious to anyone who reads the story it will. Time will tell.
Well, they are a and will fight equally powered opponents.
We need more context with the number stuff, but yeah you could be right that it has no greater meaning that that.
Also, i don't think God's Knights were numbered.
