If Sanji finishes this arc strong, I think people who read it all at once won't view him as struggling through the whole arc. It's easy for weekly readers to want big centerpieces every week that minor plot-furthering motions like his attack on Oven are disregarded while things like him briefly struggling with a strong opponent are dissected to no end. Zoro got thrown off of buildings and sent plummeting into holes in Dressrosa but he ended the arc on a strong note with his final blow against Pica. It's all about buildup which can be difficult to recognize on a weekly basis.
