One, do we have any evidence at this point that King is in fact stronger then Katakuri? I can see him being the strongest of Kaido's commanders, but we have no evidence regarding which commanders would win against which, only speculation. Secondly, Sanji and Zoro do have a degree of respect for each other (I know that people disagree with this assesment, but it is true) however they are also very different individuals with clashing personalities. I think that this is the reason for why they clash so often rather then an "alpha male" mindset as has been speculated by others. They might team up briefly, but they will only do so (If it happens) for the briefest period necessary. For now, let us see how Sanji handles King.
