I said specifically “assuming the BB Pirates fight will take place on Elbaf”
These are basically how strong the straw hats should be when Luffy becomes Pirate King.

Technically I agree but, no trolling, I can't imagine sanji ever being close to Akainu. Robin and Franky need heavy haki improvements to reach these levels. Oda didn't even bother to give Brook and Franky any haki feats so far. Franky oneshot an admiral, yes. But I wished he'd have shown some Haki feats before. Brook has so much potential too.
Imo current Shanks (and some others) are already above prime WB. I see no rule that prevents them from being strobger than a guy who roared the seas 20+ years ago.
What the SHPs need to improve are panels. Panel time. But post-wano Oda doesn't seem to care about them at all unfortunately. The screentime gap is bigger than ever before and Sanji is the last SH that barely reaches the numbers he should. Everyone below is basically an actual side character for world building.
