Zeus and Prometheus are homies too. Presumably Randolph is nowhere near as strong as them, but still. And the impactful thing wasn't knocking out Brulee, it was using her to zip around the mirror world and make animals look like Luffy to cause chaos in the wedding.

If Sanji gets his own boss-fight this arc, my money's on Streusen for the ultimate Chef-vs-Chef battle. Wasn't there an on-panel mention of how the guy was probably really strong in a fight?

Not saying you're wrong, but I can't think of it? Anyone else know?

Sanji doesn't really need a boss fight since he's already going to be saving everybody's lives via the power of cooking.

I agree that it's important that the ship's cook saves the day with the power of cooking, but I also want him to kick someone very hard.

Luffy has sent multiple people flying the length of a city or island and both Zoro and Law have cut mountains in half. I would like Sanji to something similarly badass. Especially since Zoro will likely do something even more impressive than that in Wano and I like their little faux-rivalry.

and yeah i agree with the above poster and when i heard year of sanji i thought he was gonna pull some batshit insane feat so people would stop wondering if the monster trio was a monster duo

zoro has not had a real fight during the timeskip and hes gonna fight someone straight up disgustingly powerful.

sanji is probably about as strong as jinbe and i think pitting them together against that guy on fishman island was to illustrate that, but they're also both hypercompetent at their roles which gives them development zoro will never get nor needs.

Or he gets challeneged by everyone since he has Shunsui.

Zoro will fight and lose against Kaido, in such a way that Kaido will say something along the lines of "that might have even killed me... he's dead for sure" and then Zoro will wake up in half an hour, then fight and win against Kaido's second in command.

Capone mentioned it right before they split up from the straw hats. But we've also already seen strussen completely decimated from failing to make the landing, covered head to toe in bandages, which is why we're relying on Pudding, Chiffon, and Sanji to bake the cake. No way there's a fight with him this arc.

That makes sense to me. I guess I just want Sanji to be as cool as he was when he was my favorite. But the crew's a lot larger now and their roles and competencies have expanded in such a way that the Zoro/Sanji rivalry doesn't make much sense anymore.

Still want him to kick someone very hard.

Dressrosa was the arc where everyone got cool fights and we kind of learned our lesson there didn't we. Telling a good story >>> giving each character a fight.

Sanji has become a ten billion percent better character this arc, without even a single fight.

You actually made me think of something. I don't think anyone can look into the mirror world easily, unless Brulee helps them. I thought Chopper and Carrot needed her to contact others through the mirrors at least.

But she is currently watching the fight through those mirrors, right? And was just crowing about how gallant and perfect Mochi boy is. And he just protected her from getting hit by Luffy.

I could see Brulee freaking out about his crazy donut style and him actually attacking her for it. Like everyone keeps saying, their own dysfunctional family is majorly their undoing so far. Brulee getting chumped once more and left punched on the floor gives Luffy an easy out from super funtime mirrorland, at least.

Did dressrosa really have a fight for most crew members? I only remember Franky's.

I guess zoro ran around with that rock guy for a billion chapters.

I like my coffee with cream and lsd.
Sugar getting haki-sniped with a crudely drawn face is pretty much quintessential One Piece to me and I forgive all of the arc's weaknesses because the payoff was beyond worth it.

Zoro and Fujitora not being to cut or damage the bird cage is bullshit though.

That post went quite well, I think.
I believe it's mentioned as a reference, Anomander visited them in the past well before the modern age of the books. The Seguleh attacked him as an intruder, he murdered his way to the 7th before growing frustrated at their insistence on fighting. I can't remember if it's in a main book or side stories.
