Sanji, on the other hand. Even if he becomes the best chef the world has ever seen, or accomplishes his dream of finding the all blue whatever that manifests as, he's not setting himself up to conquer. He's always been fine in a purely supportive role, not wanting any title nor accolades in part due to his upbringing, and when it comes to combat it's almost always been one of three things:
Serve his captain/crew
Save a lady
Be better than the green-haired one
And he's been okay with that. Mentally, I think this is the point where he breaks through that point. It's exciting to see that despite all the bantering and bickering between him and zoro for the lols, all that comparing with his rival is pretty much colored by feelings of insecurity and self-doubt. Looks like scopper gaban is trying to say that him feeling the need to ask about his own potential for conquerors haki is exactly the crux why he can't reach his full haki potential yet.
It's actually interesting how they're contrasted. Zoro's shortcoming is his lack of awareness regarding his haki, while sanji's is his own doubts & lack of confidence regarding it. The entire topic of being a king isn't about literal kinglyhood, it's about having the characteristics of someone who believes they are #1 and wont accept anything less, even if it means they die trying. This series has so much vague dialogue referring to amorphous topics using metaphorical language. It shocks me every time I see fans online taking dialogue from these moments as literal and not figurative as they're meant.
