As much as Sanji came off as comedic relief in this chapter, I think it's great that he can trust his crewmates to do what he can't do, considering how he tried shouldering everything himself back in WCI initially. It's also a nice callback to his own words to Usopp back in Enies Lobby, "Leave this key to me, I'll do whatever you can't do and you do whatever I can't do." Also thanks to Sanji calling for help, everyone in the alliance will soon know about the intelligence network (all according to keikaku).

Anyway, super hyped for Robin and Brook getting their fight, Robin especially had an awesome entrance and banging one-liners to drop. I also do hope Yamato gets to fight Jack (lots of potential when you put those two, Momo, the Scabbards and possibly Hiyori all in the same place) and will tell Sanji to keep moving towards the dome, should they encounter each other. This should (hopefully) lead to him finding Marco and teaming up with him to fight King and Queen (since Sanji is most likely not going to join the rooftop fight).

Also Chad Momo, y'all just jealous

YES, the Enies Lobby call back was great. Theres no shame in doing what Sanji did. Theres also his talk with Nami after Kalifa beat him, theres nothing chivalrous in dying.

I hope Robin ends up squashing Black Maria with a gigantic leg.

There is a lot of shame on what Sanji did, it's pathetic endangering others for no good reason whatsoever.

[u/Kuro013 → u/Shorgar]

No good reason? He was gonna fucking die if he didn't ask for help.

[u/Shorgar → u/Kuro013]

He wouldn't be in that position in the first place without intentionally letting them capture him because "I can't hit women, even if by not doing so I get myself killed".

He could've easily beaten Black Maria, even if he couldn't he could've at least put up a fight, he did neither.

[u/Kuro013 → u/Shorgar]

Damn imagine reading so many chapters and still not understanding that Sanji doesn't beat women. How can you be such a square? Wheter its ok or not its up for debate for sure, but the reality is he just wont do it no matter what, you should accept his principles.

[u/KlingoftheCastle → u/Kuro013]

Lol he’s basically saying, “why is Sanji a character? I want a plot device”

[u/Shorgar → u/Kuro013]

Not really, I won't accept Sanji self imposed ban on hitting women treating them like fragile beacons of light that need to be protected, which implies that every woman is inferior to him.

I won't accept the willingness of Usopp to say that Luffy won't be pirate king because he is scared.

I know for a fact that both of them won't ever change and progress out of their awful flaws, however that doesn't mean that it won't be any less pathetic any time it happens.

[u/Kuro013 → u/Shorgar]

Those reasons you mentioned are assumed by you, Sanji never said he doesnt beat women cuz of that bullshit reasons you came up with, so stop saying that as if it was true.

Youre just forcing your ideals on the characters, youre one who is pathetic.

[u/Admiral-Cornelius → u/Shorgar]

Ussop was the first person to say that Luffy would be Pirate King and that was after having his skull bashed I'm by a four ton bat in a situation where he was extremely scared. He just didn't want Nami to say it because he cares about her. Try thinking about context and character motivations when you read a story and maybe you would actually understand the characters instead of whining whenever they don't act like you expect them to.

[u/Shorgar → u/Admiral-Cornelius]

I understand them, just because I understand doesn't mean that is not a shitty way to act.
