IMO these aint the worst fights... Oda is on a dilema rushing and getting focus on some parts, we caught on middle of this and result on some parts being rushed (like Zoro "remembering" how to use ACoC and probably finishing Sommers in 2 chapter straight) and focusing (like this Sanji part, we're basically on seconf chapter of his fight and no sight of CoC or ACoC).
-----------------------------------
I expected at least Sanji showing some black lightnings after reviving these memories, but maybe we still not seing Sanji using ACoC, maybe a even hot burning leg that surpass the durability of iron heart, making him less dependable on CoC.
The moment Kuma saw Sanji prepared to kill himself to subs Zoro, Kuma already knew Sanji issue and Kamabaka is the best place for Sanji, the guru guru boy.
It's not that Ivankov is whom he finds scary.
Ivankov reveals his greatest truth, and that's what scare him the most.
It's like someone who tells Person A that he has a gambling problem, it's not that he hates that person, he just dislikes the fact this person is bringing up a truth he doesn't want to confront.
People that tell you the truths about yourself when in denial are people you tend to want to avoid.
Sanji accepting that he needs to accept and love himself for who he is despite the fact he comes from a corrupt Bloodline doesn't mean he deserves pain, torture and death. Just because his family have done evil things doesn't mean he needs to reject himself, he can accept himself and prove he can be better than Germa.
Sanji pretty much thinks he is trash that doesn't deserve to exist because he sees his bloodline as a sin essentially. Glad to see Sanji's about to awaken his King's Haki.

Sanji the man without a sense of self was sent to the man with the most perfect sense of self. Now this is some excellent long term writing and what makes it even better is that Sanji because of his distain for the island had suppressed that lesson.
