#Where Kid accidentally pulls or pushes Sanji with his magnetism

[sensarna]

I'm going to go on a little tangent here.

If your opinions differ from mine - that's okay. I just want to get it out of my system.

For some reason the idea of Sanji - a character that I love despite all the weird shit he's been doing since the time skip - having an exoskeleton does not sit right with me.

Yet, him, possibly having some Lunarian genes? I can work with that.

Why? Because, despite being the result of whatever Judge has done to him, it explains some of the crazy stuff that he can do. Setting himself on fire without damaging himself or his clothes? Lunarians can produce and control flames. Having a body that can withstand insane amounts of damage? Apparently Lunarians are very fucking sturdy. Him being the speedy boy he is? Maybe it's Lunarian genes or maybe it's just him. Who knows, I sure fucking don't.

But Sanji having a secondary skeleton in his body? That is possibly made of metal ? Nope. I don't like that.

And I know that it's a very likely reason as to why he survived Queens attack ("very likely" because it's probably more exoskeleton + Lunarian durability) but it just feels too much for one guy. I don't want his fathers experiment to end up as a success. It would just make him a Germa soldier who is not a complete asshole.

Some might argue that since the Raid Suit was destroyed then him becoming the way his father expected him to be will not happen, but for me it's more to prevent or at least slow down his moral decline since we already saw the augmentations in action. He is basically Chopper before the time skip - there exist a possibility of acquiring more destructive power in exchange for his sense of humanity and control.

Sanji, in my opinion at least, was supposed to be a failure in the eyes of his father BECAUSE he does not have the powers like his brothers and is basically a normal human being capable of basic human empathy. After surviving the Hell that was his father and brothers, escaping, and going through Hell AGAIN he stayed with the man who, despite being a pirate, was a better father figure than Judge will ever be. He lived at the Baratie with Zeff, honed his skills as a cook and a fighter and then was able to set sail to find the sea of his dreams despite the risks of meeting his biological family. Sanji went through insane hardships while sailing through the Grand Line with the crew that became a family, where every member has insane dreams and seemingly unachievable goals. They loved his food and loved him and his flaws and his code and Sanji cared for and loved every one of them. He ended up becoming stronger than ALL of the Vinsmokes while being that "weak human emotional failure" (fuck Vinsmokes).

BUT since the idea of him being the only "100 % human" while being physically stronger than the rest of the "family" going forward was thrown out of the window because his enhancements started to wake up, why not make it so that the little bit of "weird crazy" that he can do is because he was only 99% human and that 1% allowed him to do stuff that he shouldn't, like SETTING HIS LEGS ABLAZE, but only because he worked with what he had been given and achieved something unexpected.

(I have a theory that Judge was trying to give Sanji either Lunarians durability or speed since his Raid Suit was created for stealth, and he wasn't really expecting Sanji to develop Pyrokinesis, hence why one of the other brothers can create fire.)

AND NOW THAT 1% IS GETTING BIGGER.

If he is becoming stronger because of Germas genetic enhancements, then it would be better to concentrate on the thing that, quite possibly, was there all along, but was smaller than expected and is now affecting him more because of the Raid Suit. Move him from 99% human and 1% Lunarian to 70-80% human, 20-30% Lunarian. But only that. No exoskeletons needed.

Does this explain fire? Yes. His ability to withstand a sword to the head? Possibly. Does this gives him the necessary requirements to create and survive Ifrit Jambe? I think that yes. Insane speed boost? Yep. Do I think that all the new stuff will be explained by simply stating that he is now more of a half breed? Hopefully, but I don't really know if Lunarians can snap their bones back in place so easily.

For now I hope that there will be some sort of regression in the future so that Sanji wouldn't rely too much on the power of instant bone reconstruction or that the exoskeleton will be somehow removed from his body completely by Law or by any other means. And if the "probably Lunarian" thing is confirmed then Sanji developing and/or mastering the ability to temporarily increase his endurance and control and manipulate fire might be a great addition to his battle kit. In that case I don't really see the reason for exoskeleton to exist at all.

(Although I will say that I am not sure where I stand with the rapid healing abilities, since I don't think it's something that can be removed surgically or if Lunarians also have that ability).

In summary: I don't want Sanji to be more like Germa. I don't want him to be more like Vinsmokes. If his fathers heritage is gaining on him, I hope there will be a spin on that idea. For Vinsmokes - he is still a failure. Even with enhancements he is still incomplete in his fathers mind.

But I'm sure he could work with that 👒
