While King and Zoro fiercely clash, it seems that Sanji and Queen, the two blonde lads from the Straw Hat and Beast Pirates crews, are still deeply engaged in conversation.
One Piece chapter 1033 predominantly focuses on the battle between King and Zoro. This latest installment unveils King's origin, tracing back to a race wiped out in ancient times known as the 'Lunaria Gods'. Facing a formidable adversary like King Firestorm, Zoro undergoes a flashback and seemingly awakens Conqueror's Haki at the critical moment.

While the duo of Zoro and King confront each other fiercely and gear up for the decisive moments of the battle, another pair, Queen and Sanji, continue to 'chitchat'. In the latest chapter, it is artist Queen who discloses to Sanji the lineage of King's race and the prowess of this human tribe. Queen reveals, 'He is the descendant of the Lunaria race, a tribe that has been extinct. He is a creature capable of surviving in any environment. Ages ago, that tribe was once called the 'Gods'.

Due to the contrast between the Zoro-King and Sanji-Queen pairs, Queen leaves many readers skeptical about the 'blonde curse' in One Piece. While Zoro and King maintain a serious demeanor, Sanji and Queen, who have been subjected to much ridicule lately, appear to be very relaxed with each other. It's unclear why they are exchanging a few techniques. Artist Queen seems to be truly evolving into a comedian in the Wano arc, as he seemingly contributes nothing to the Beast Pirates crew aside from singing, hosting, and then 'squeezing the team' powerfully.
Meanwhile, is it due to his blonde hair or not that Sanji, after many chapters seeming to shine, now appears to be somewhat overshadowed by his friend Zoro? Because of Sanji and Queen's 'chat' in One Piece chapter 1033, many fans believe the 'blonde curse' still persists. Some other humorous comments suggest that indeed, when it comes to blonde hair, even battles must be different, unable to be serious and still 'comic' as usual.

Overall, Oda always manages to sprinkle entertainment laughter in seemingly tense fight scenes. Instead of anyone else, it's Queen who spills the beans about King's origins to Sanji. Considering both their personalities, this 'heart-to-heart' is likely to extend for a few more chapters before Zoro and King's battle concludes.
What are your thoughts on the intimate conversation between Sanji and Queen in One Piece chapter 1033? Indeed, blonde brawls seem to have their own flavor, don't they? Feel free to leave your opinion!
