Sanji (Pre-Timeskip)

Sanji Vinsmoke, more commonly known as "Sanji" is the crew's chain-smoking chef and a member of the Monster Trio. There is not a dish he cannot cook, a pretty girl he will not try to woo, or something he will not argue with Zoro over. As a chef, he believes that he cannot afford to harm his...

Suddenly, flashbacks to Mega Metagross vs Sanji (Late Whole Cake island Saga to Early Wano Kuni Saga)

Does Pre-Timeskip Sanji have Haki?

Does Pre-Timeskip Sanji have Haki?

He does not.

You know I'm suddenly thinking that Blaziken might be more thematic, how about we swap them in instead?

I'm mostly unopposed, although I do wonder about the arguments for pre-Timeskip Sanji's skill level. Not to deny that Sanji is skillful, I mean....

Also, you would be putting Blaziken against someone with Resistance to Fire Manipulation.

So I'm a little suspect about it, if you'll forgive my saying so.

Well kicking chicken's resists Sanji's fire too likely so that balances out. Anyhow idk much about Sanji skillwise, Machamp knows like all martial arts that man and pokemon have ever developed though iirc.

Doesn't Sanji have means of attack other than Diable Jambe? Though admittedly, it is 1 of his ways of powering up.

But for Blaziken, Fire Manipulation is kind of its primary offense:

Ruby	In battle, Blaziken blows out intense flames from its wrists and attacks the foe courageously. The stronger the foes, the more intensely this Pokémon's wrists burn.
Sapphire	Blaziken has incredibly strong legs - it can easily clear a 30-story building in one leap. This Pokémon's blazing punches leave its foes scorched and blackened.

FireRed/LeafGreen	When facing a tough foe, it looses flames from its wrists. Its powerful legs let it jump clear over buildings.

X	It can clear a 30-story building in a leap. Its fiery punches scorch its foes.

Along with martial arts, but still.
Would Pre-Timeskip Sanji be using Diable Jambe for a whole fight normally?
