Sanji did fall out of the monster trio.
I just mean they're boring. Generally speaking, that is.

Idk if it counts as a tag team more of like a group effort but the strawhats vs oars is one of my favorites because of them working together.
I dream of the day sanji and zoro take on someone...*drools

God ussop is a scrub! He shall bow down to black leg sanji
If Sanji was fighting #4 on Kaidou's crew then he wont need help, but since he is fighting #2 then yes he will.
For example if Zoro fought Crocodile then he'll need help, but since he fought Das Bones, then he don't need help.
See?

I would love if Zoro and Sanji took on Jack as a tag team. Dogupine and Cat Viper remind me of them already and with a lost arm and lost leg, Zoro and Sanji could provide a spiritual arm and leg that they lack.
Like Doflamingo I feel like the first Emperor will be a group effort with Luffy, Law and who ever else. I could see the right hand man/woman of the first Emperor being too much for a 1 on 1 just yet. A Zoro/Sanji Groggy Ring style drag out would be wonderful!

They have to make Sanji and actual character again first.
He's basically a non-cannon filler arc background character at this point.
Seems Oda is jealous of another manga series
I've never heard of it. Your Lie in April. I imagine the approval of GODA will see its sales skyrocket
I also really enjoyed that one. So good.

Well the manga does sound interesting. A musical manga seems..different
We did have a great tag team fight between the number 2 and 3 in the Straw Hat crew vs. Kaku and Jabra.
Then some other guy came in and fought Jabra afterwards or something.

Agreed. What happened to funny Zoro. Now all he does is glare and get mad.
Pica was chump change, though I guess he did have the bandana on for the massive slash at the end.
Really hoping for some CP9 style fights for everyone in the next arc, or team-ups would be good too for 2v2. It's been too damn long since the timeskip so Oda's gotta deliver soon, Doflamingo's crew was shite.
Also Beck is fucking awesome!
The other thing is if Oda is going to continue introducing more and more characters that get focus diverted to them in arcs, they need to be paired up with each other so we don't get situations like in Dressrosa where the focus is switching between 10+ different characters and some of those characters are literally within walking distance of the others. I talked about this with my only friend IRL that likes One Piece and Dressrosa suffered from this to an extreme degree.

Great point, I found dedicating a chapter to each straw hat alliance fight to be really tiresome. I can only imagine the final battle to be a lot more detailed with even more characters.
The anime adapts the whole manga.

Reading back through Dressrosa makes the non-Straw Hat battles much more meaningful. Knowing that Hadruden will lead a Straw Hat fleet gives his fight with Mach Vice that much more weight. Hehe he. The same goes for the rest of the 7 groups who vowed to aid Luffy.
I know how tough it was to lose out on half the crew when they had already had a full 2 year break just a few years ago but I think Dressrosa was a necessary evil at the time which in hindsight isn't evil at all because it led to something major.

I think it's more the extremely plodding nature of it weekly with switching viewpoints so many times a chapter, and this is with 4 of the crew members missing, not to mention Caesar, Kine'mon and Momonosuke not being present, and with Law's crew not being there as well.
If the cast keeps ballooning, it'll keep feeling like it's dragging each week with the way Oda likes to change viewpoints to what each character is doing unless he starts switching character perspectives to groups dedicated to accomplishing the same objective.
The issue is basically the weekly format at this point. Volume by volume the pacing is fine and it works, but the individual chapters don't have enough real estate to make the pacing work the same way it does in the volumes.
It'd be really awesome if One Piece got to transition to a monthly release, but it'll probably never happen. Jojo's has never been better since it transitioned from weekly to monthly during Steel Ball Run.
That'd work if we got 3 chapters worth of pages a month, I think it'd be like 60.

This did have me realize that Sanji's beard is black, yet his hair is blonde. Weird.
Everyone running around saying Sanji is the son of this dude (the old World Goverment guys)
I can see it

Sanjis not naturally blonde confirmed!!
His mom is a brunette but to hide his lineage the dyed his hair and ordered that only one eyebrow can be shown at a time!! If he ever shows two eyebrows people will kno where hes from.

Squishy has a point though. I think even the volumes will get tedious if the character switching grows exponentially, which it seems like.
Wondering if Oda is holding off on introducing Law's crew for this reason.
Yeah, like, if he wants to keep switching perspectives like he does, he needs to pair people up against the same opponent. (and with how ridiculously strong Jack is for example, this is probably going to need to happen for them to stand a chance)
Hell, Dressrosa was at it's best when Law and Luffy were tag-teaming Doffy. Like imagine what a Law that hasn't been shot like 9 times and lost an arm can do with other people.
For now the volume format works, when it stops working then there's gonna be an issue but it doesn't really look like that's something that is going to happen.
More people in Japan read One Piece in volumes than buy Shonen Jump. Not really worth to subscribe to a weekly 500+ page newspaper just for one series.
As I've mentioned before, One Piece arcs work better in bulk rather than week-by-week. Everyone says Alabasta is so great because they read it all at once. If they had to wait week after week after week after week then people would be harder on it. Same with Water 7/Enies Lobby. Hell, I remember when Enies Lobby was ending and people were sick of Luffy vs Lucci and felt it was going too long.
In a couple years, people are going to sing the praises of Dressrosa. Despite what some users on here claim...

Rebecca didn't ruin the whole arc people
Exactly. The series has always been written to the volume format as that's where it's main audience gets it.
I mean Zoro and Luffy are way ahead of him imo.
That's pretty normal actually.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Sanji can use his own version of Geppou. That's awesome and nobody else can do that.
The only reason it seems like he sucks compared to his old self is because he keeps getting matched against top tier villains instead of the usual No. 2 or No. 3. Vergo and Doflamingo were main protagonist material. He gets props for trying.

Sanji is a scrub. Zoro would've wrecked vergo and flamingo no problem. Sanji is nowhere near zoro and luffy level never was!
-_-
And Zoro has Admiral's running away from him

Not saying that aren't but c'mon, we aren't getting entire arcs where every single straw hat ally gets a dedicated chapter in a large battle or else I'll be 86 years old when this series finally ends.
For how much waiting other fandoms have for their mangas I sometimes think One Piece will still outrun them even without huge breaks because of how long it will probably be. So I'm like in my 20s now but expect One Piece to be over when I'm in my 30s or 40s.
I mean people grew up with this series and could probably damn near die with it still going or finally finishing, which is insane to think about.
