Chapter 1196 “A Love for Dying Is Worth Nothing” Digest
Chapter 1196, “A Love for Dying Is Worth Nothing,” covers the following:
- Memories of two painful years in the Kamabakka Kingdom come flooding back
- Sanji argues with himself in the rain. He insists “the captain is counting on me,” but he can’t find a way out
- Seeing Ivankov conjured by Killingham’s ability, he retraces the training memories he had sealed away
- Ivankov points out his weakness: what Sanji lacks is self-love
- Facing that weakness erases his fear of Ivankov and begins a new Sanji fighting style
That was the chapter.
My prediction for chapter 1197: will Sanji create a shield-like technique with flaming kicks, just like Marco at the Summit War?

Now that I think about it, Marco also fought Kizaru without any weapon, uses a lot of kicks, and plays the shield role.
Doesn’t that fit the figure Sanji is aiming for perfectly?
What do you think?
