THREAD : Why sanji unlocking COC makes sense in the story
I think all of whole cake and much of the character arc sanji has been going through the whole story can be used as a catalyst for unlocking conquerors.
I made a thread about it recently but to summarize, sanji comes from a family of failed conquerors in the literal sense. Germa once conquered the north blue and over the generations they have fallen from grace.
Judge designed his children to help him conqueror the north again and has been relying on technology, enhancements and the suppression of humanity to get to accomplish this. He views humanity as a weakness and he fears and detests this weakness in himself and his family.
Sanji is the embodiment of this fear as sanji is probably the most passionate, emotional, and human characters in the story.
The perfect ironic move for oda to make in order to highlight his stance of empathy > apathy is to have sanji unlock conquerors because of his passion and everything his family rejected him for. Highlithing sanji as a true King and judge as a real failure for his stance.
Sanji has consistently rejected his family name while praising momo for claiming his. Yamato, momonuske, King, denjiro, wano so far pushed the identity theme. Unlocking COC will have to do with sanji accepting who he is.
A pure hearted person able to transform is emotion into power. A vinsmoke with emotion, bearing the will of sora.... Sanji didnt understand yet :
He's not germa's failure
Lastly I think queen is the perfect opponent for sanji to unlock this haki against. Queen is a character completely lacking of empathy. He is responsible for breaking down wills in udon prison through torture.
He knows judge, germa, the extent of judge experiments, probably sora.... A good way to push sanji above the realm of anger and Terror. I would also like to point out the fact that queen vs sanji is happening in the Red light district.
Just like mr2 fights when he used nami's face, or absalom who used nami... Queen might also use some geishas to do the dirty job. Or even kill them... Everything is established for sanji to go above anger itself and awaken his powers.
Finally queen stands at the peak of Kaido’s crew with King, which is based on a meritocracy system. Both King and queen echo the theme of a conquerors with their respective titles. Queen having a bounty so close to that of a "god" speaks for itself. Queen might also have coc
It would be a missed opportuinty for oda to not have sanji awakening COC as he's bound to become the next germa 66 King 🔥🔥🔥
