Zoro's Conqueror Haki is so powerful that even a Giant's ship is shaking under it's weight.
However, there's more weight to the concepts, relationships & developments behind Zoro being a Supreme King.
Mari just did the best analysis on those topics
It's a MUST read

Reason no. 15464th why it's important to wait for the raws and it's translations before judging the chapter by the brief spoilers.
Longinus can reform; whether that's a feature unique to just Longinus or to the 19 weapons as a whole, it justifies why Oda feel
hardness to "Armament Haki". Given how Oda dealt with Luffy & Zoro's ACOC awakening compared to their eventual mastery, I think he's doing the same thing here with Sanji.
Killingham kinda hinted at noting that Sanji doesn't notice that he's taking longer to heal.

Meh.
I was really hoping that Oda wouldn't make his power up conditional from any point of view but, whatever, Oda will be Oda.
You'll never guess who a weaker Sommers is screaming "Come on then" as a battle cry to, while having one arm.
Sommers is not afraid of Conqueror Haki users nor does he backs down from those who know about his hearts.
His fear stem from how Powerful Zoro became.

Self doubt and inner conflict aren’t excuses for poor performance in a fight. They’re weaknesses that you have to overcome.
The story has repeatedly made this clear.
Sanji’s mental struggles aren’t meant to excuse his performance. They’re meant to highlight his growth.
His fight with Killingham shows his growth from someone that suffers from self-hatred to someone who overcomes it.
That IS the power up.
His struggles at the beginning of the fight are what force him to confront his sabotaging mentality overcome it.
You cannot dismiss those struggles when they’re the reason for his growth and awakening of Conqueror’s Haki.

But the fact is simple:
He didn´t struggle BECAUSE of Kilingham and that is the point.
He struggled because of HIMSELF.
He nerfed himself with "no dodging" and selftalk/daydreams during the fight.
Kilingham was never the problem and that is the point mate.
Stop misrepresenting the fight.
Sanji problem isn't solely that he doesn't have ACOC. If that's the case, then he'd be dodging and blizting Killingham at every occasion like we see Zoro did vs Sommers.
Killingham consistently block, react and overpowered Sanji.

You're fighting the story and Oda here.
For one we literally see Killingham say Sanji is beating his ass. He literally says the thing that is his advantage is Sanji not having Conquerors yet. We also very clearly know Sanji is working internally on his issues since the start.
That's kinda the problem; Oda said nothing happened the way you and Sanji fans keep representing the issue.
Sanji fought recklessly. That's it.
Clairvoyant literally address the very thing you're arguing; internal conflict isn't an excuse for poor performance.

For whether you think he let himself get hit in this fight or that fight, it doesn't matter. Oda said it happens. Take it up with him on which fights and what instances.
Dawg, the fight starts off with Sanji calmly assessing the situation and then sneak attack Killingham.
According to these guys, Killingham's ability to routinely block and react to Sanji's attacks is due to Sanji being reckless.
It's quite obvious that Killingham was relative

Killingham could’ve killed him multiple times for this btw if it weren’t for plot.
#ONEPIECE1197
Forget the lazy attempt that he's doing to handwave away Killingham giving Sanji a difficult time compared to Zoro & Sommers.
Let's say he has a point and Sanji was "letting" Killingham (and previous opponents) hitting, how would one even falsified that claim?

What methodology would you even used to argue that Sanji let one attack him compared to another?
How would you distinguished Sanji letting an attack hit because he wants to compare to him letting it happen to gain an advantage in battle?
