How would Sanji's body recover in the span of a couple hours with no medical attention, rest, or treatment? If his body was damaged enough an hour ago that a blow from Nami hurt him, then that's substantial proof that it hindered him in his fight against Smoker because the time and situations in between the two occasions isn't sufficient for his body to make any kind of recovery.
I'll admit I'm coming in blind so can you refresh me on what instance you're referring. Nami has hurt SH's before but it's typically used as a joke(like when she beats up Luffy despite not actually having haki) Is this blow from Nami a typical Nami damage gag or a legit hit?
Legit hit.
That's why vergo and sanji r really circumstantial
A person being severely injured takes precedence. When a person is injured, it's only logical they would perform better if not injured.
Dude :| what are you saying riker literally just showed u proof what more you want
He showed me proof he was injured not that his leg cracked because of his injury.
Nope. Injury supercedes feats. If a person is injured, and someone else defeats them in battle, then the victory is invalid because an injury prevents someone from fighting at their maximum. The only times this doesn't apply is if the injury was stated or shown to be superficial(Doflamingo with Red Hawk, Whitebeard with Squard's stab) or if the person that won went on to perform well against someone as strong or stronger than the injured person they defeated.
As someone above mentioned, Sanji has never been a tank. He's been a character who avoids damage through evasion for the most part, so even if his endurance is lower than Usopp's, it wouldn't matter for his power because he has other means of avoiding being damaged that are better than Usopp's(not saying he does, but to drive the point across).
Don't slight God Usopp. The man took down a Fishman at Arlong park and took that super heavy bat to the face. Dudes got stats.
This retardness is nowhere near the same thing as Sanji's body being shown to be severely weaker than normal. Sanji's pain isn't theoretical, it isn't assumed, it was explicitly shown. He had it when he fought Vergo. The pain is given in the manga, so it happened.
