So you just contradicted yourself?
It was a joke?
No Oda wasn't harsh on Sanji. If someone had a hard time that was Luffy. Half dead and trying to get over his brother death.
Sanji was on a rough situation. So what? All strawhats had gone through hard times. Zoro almost died for Luffy. Robin faced imprisonment and was chased years by the navy. Nami was working for the person who killed her mother. Everyone had their issues. Sanji was in "hell" as he claims but in reality he was in a place safe, he could train, he had food, water and everything he needed and after that he was reunited with his friends in a place full of mermaids. I think that balance the scale.
Sanji has less moments than Zoro and Luffy, only recently has he had a few whereas Luffy and Zoro get those moments all the time.
Hmm no? Luffy is the protagonist, only natural to have more moments. Zoro is generally more quite and indifferent. In the crew moments when they are all together I believe Sanji has more moments, if not the same with Zoro. Generally, I think Zoro had more intense moments than Sanji, and maybe that's the reason it strikes as if Sanji has less moments. On the other hand it depends on how you approach the series and on your point of view.
Order of Nakama shouldn't change things. That doesn't quite work since going by order of Nakam Sanji should have a bounty lower than Nami's and Usopps. Sanji was already notorious as being the second highest ranking Chef at the Baratie so he had a claim to fame already as well. The ruckus on an east blue fodder Marine base isn't really all that impressive.
I never said that the order of joining has anything to do with the bounty. I only said that Zoro spent more time with Luffy where they got into situations that caused a ruckus so it's natural that people have heard more of Zoro and Luffy.
Also, I never said it was impressive but it was a marine base. If you can't see the connection to why an incident in a marine base it's more likely to get more attention considering the bounties, than let's say an incident among pirates, I don't think I can explain any further.
Lastly, Sanji was famous as a
chef at a certain place. Zoro was famous as a
bounty haunter and he was wondering around the sea. Zoro's name was more connected with fights,strength etc than Sanji's.
So basically what you're saying is Sanji is targeted by Oda... (And earlier you said you don't think he's harsh on Sanji??)
Every strawhat is targeted by Oda on a particular thing. Zoro can't walk 50 meters without getting lost. Yet he always wanders alone. Nami loves belli yet somehow the treasure they find never ends up on her hands. Usopp is scared of everything yet most times he ends up on the most dangerous situation he can think of. All characters have different characteristics and Oda use those to make funny and humorous situations. I don't see why you expect Sanji to be an exception.
I don't see the relation between someone upholding Luffy's dreams and segregation of Supernova status
I already explained that. Zoro was famous even before joining Luffy, he was know to be hard and ruthless, people though he was evil and they were scared of him. He had a certain fame. He got a bounty earlier due to his previous fame and then after every incident it kept rising.
Zoro informal is the first mate. Other people outside of the crew, even in the marines view him as such. That's another reason for higher bounty.
Sanji screams at Luffy a lot too. If it wasn't for him (he seems to play the role as captain half the time) the crew would fall apart. Sanji and Zoro are both equally important, so again because you were given the impression that Zoro is more important than Sanji it kinda means you're going against your own word believing "Oda isn't harsh on Sanji.
I never said that one is more important than the other. I only said that they play different roles in the crew. Also, you can't expect Oda to put so many Supernovas in one crew. It would just seem as the other Supernova's crew were fodders. Some things are written that way to serve the plot, that doesn't mean that Oda targets one character and favors another.
As for the Sanji vs Doflamingo you have to look at it more realistic. Sanji had zero information on Doflamingo's powers and he had to protect the crew. He easily fell into DD power due to the fact that he lacked knowledge. Other than that, Sanji is a very smart fighter. If he was to fight again DD he sure would figure out a way to counter his power. I am not saying that he can win, but he can sure put a more descent fight against him. As for Vergo he was a haki monster and Sanji didn't even fight him. His goal was to save Tashigi and keep them moving. He just left after he kicked Vergo into a freaking wall, what more could he do?
