...of the power split between Sanji, Zoro, and Jinbei.
Here are the facts:
The last good look we got at the power difference between Zoro and Sanji was fucking Enies Lobby with Jabra and Kaku. They were shown to be roughly equal in strength, and both Zoro and Sanji beat their opponent. Not for nothing, but Sanji's fight was mid-diff, and Zoro's was high-to-extreme. Food for thought.
- Even looking at the last island they were on together (Punk Hazard) is a terrible gauge of strength, because they get stronger after every island, even Usopp. We've been to Dressrosa, Zou, Whole Cake Island, and now a ton of time in Wano since the last time they were seen together.
- Again, this makes the difficulty of Jabra vs. Kaku mean jack shit, because it was so long ago. It's just something interesting I noticed on my third watch-through of the anime.
The last time we saw Jinbei do anything in combat was when he tanked several punches from Akainu in the Marineford war. At this time he was unquestionably stronger than even Luffy.
BOTH of these events were pre-timeskip, and all three characters have gone through a lot of growth since then.
You are 100% entitled to your own opinion on the matter, but stop speaking in absolutes like it's fact that "Jinbei pushed Sanji out of the monster trio" or whatever bullshit. There is no evidence at all - which is intentional on Oda's part - of who is stronger between the three.
There's a massive difference between "Luffy, Zoro, and Jinbei are the new monster three", and "I think that Luffy, Zoro, and Jinbei..." The second promotes fun discussion, the first promotes argument and vitriol.
I encourage you to discuss your opinions below on the matter, as these can be fun to have, but please stop assuming you know Oda's story better than he does. He hasn't revealed shit on the matter.
For those of you who are just as sick of seeing these groundless claims as if they're fact, just ignore them.
I realize the irony of this post and that advice, but this is a generic call out to everyone doing it, the individuals usually want an argument and to stir up emotional responses from their opponents (i.e. "they're trolling"), and the way you battle a troll is by downvoting his post and not responding.
