Seriously I don't understand why people are so sure Sanji can never get the fruit but people like Rebecca and Coby has more chance than a nakama, explanation he loves swimming, it will change his fighting style blah blah like y'all are Oda or something..
Ok let's think back: "Blackbeard gave Shanks eye scar, so BB is yonko level" almost everyone was so sure cuz of that statement, now he got dark dark fruit his now stronger than Shanks(he's probably the strongest man now and dark fruit makes him invisible), but later WB n Sengoku showed BB was nothing special and again BB gets Gura Gura fruit and his probably using the 2 DF's and his character still being the same cuz Oda can make it happen.
Now what I'm getting at is that if Sanji ever gets the fruit then I'm 100% sure not even 1% of his character development will change, Oda can make Sanji perfect with 2 powers just like BB. Sanji can have the flame fruit but will keep fighting physically like he always does or mixing both together like BB, only time he will use flame fruit is when a lot of fodders need wiping out, wide rage destruction and when he goes all out or serious in a fight.. Another question- The only or most major underwater island known so far "fishman island"- how many times did Sanji fight in water when he was there? Or swim in it? Or did something awesome in it? None, and your telling me that suddenly in the New world islands that are above water Sanji will randomly start diving in water to fight or swim?(like he never done before).
Sanji can walk on air he can fly even if you throw him in water he won't even touch the water and skywalk up, have you guys asked yourself why didn't Sanji learn skywalk 2yrs ago? but after time-skip he learnt it? Can't it also be that maybe Oda is planning to takeaway his swimming ability? but not to make the ocean his weakness he gave him the ability to fly? Look at Lucci him and Luffy was on a ship fighting both Devilfruit users and the marines didn't even worry about Lucci falling in water.
And even me is not sure if Sanji will eat it or not but you guys dont know anything to be so hotheaded that he won't. But i stick to it as always if a crewmate is gonna eat flame fruit then is definitely is Sanji, y'all argument of him swimming and character change is pointless since you ain't Oda…

@playercena5241:

No he can't, it will takeaway his fighting style, character development and his evil he doesn't need any kinda light power.
