Also, ONCE AGAIN, the Yamato/Carrot debate is effectively over...has the furball EVER had a SINGLE moment approaching Yamato’s shining moment of bravery and confidence?? Her Sulong form in WCI was really only meant to hype the same for Inu and Neko, and she has been responsible for precisely dick before AND after that. Kaido’s kid is finally dropping the idol worshipping, and by the time all is said and done, even the non-believers are gonna have to accept that, and I’m quoting (myself) here...
Carrot using her once in a month powerup and all she did was stalling Daifuku without actually directly fighting/damaging him. Even worse, after the timed once in a month power up ended, she couldn't go back to the ship on her own and had to be escorted by Brook.
Now dukes' sulong have been revealed and let's be honest it didn't look that impressive and was mocked by Kaido last week by calling them (sulong dukes included) not be the same as Oden.

Meanwhile Yamato already casually blocked G3 Luffy, already almost 1 shotted Ulti, already clashed with Sasaki and his troops, and now ate heavy damage yet still standing strong and continued fighting with those injuries and bloods.

Yamato > once in a month Sulong Carrot already, let alone non sulong Carrot.
 
Did you just compare Usopp's defining scene about repairing Merry and losing that chance to....Jack losing to Minks? Comparing a main character storyline to a sub storyline between 3 secondary characters?

Ridiculous
You only find it ridiculous because you are missing the point of comparison.

The way you phrase it pretty much shows your bias. It isn't a matter of Jack losing to minks but closing a revenge subplot that started five years ago and gave us some of the most powerful scenes of the last years. Jack was the one who attacked Zou with no hesitation, who destroyed the country and mutilated the whole tribe, and especially the leaders, for the sake of finding one of the retainers that are now avenging their lord. That is the storyline, and it doesn't matter at all that they are secondary characters because that is no reason to skip the emotional moment of Neko and Inu finally consummating their revenge.

The point of comparison lies on how Oda did use in a proper way the elemments he had back then to build an emotional scene. If you don't like the moment I chose, take the attack to the Franky House then, that consisted on fighting panels of the crew avenging Usopp by defeating a bunch of tertiary minions. What Oda did with Jack was comparable to skipping this whole attack and simply showing us the group entering the house and then resting above its debris; in this case, Neko and Inu getting ready to attack and then Jack falling, and the problem there is that Oda misses the high point of the confrontation, the exact moment in which emotions are released (emotions that were built up on us as readers when witnessing the tortures they suffered in order to protect a friend), and gives us an efortless Wiki-like resolution ("Neko and Inu jumped on Jack while in sulong form and were able to put him down") that lacks narrative strength and interest.

A proper writing should have allowed us to feel the anger of the minks, seeing how they beat up Jack to almost death, witnessing how Neko filled his body with the bullets from his prosthesis and how Inu slashed him with his new "leg". Just like we were given the emotions from the crew destroying the Franky Family instead of just the cognitive resolution of thinking, but not feeling, that they got what they deserved.

Sanji > Jinbei was established since WCI were Sanji's feats are by far better than Jinbei's
Still nowadays, that feat against BM is even above anything done by Zoro till now.
Just shut up
Jinbe sent Big Mom flying
Jinbe ate named attack from Big Mom using Napoleon
Calling Big Mom as mere Yonko

Sanji in WCI? Pinned by Yuen. Defeated by Niji and Judge. Spamming "will make a cake that make Big Mom faints" yet still failed to make her faint. He didn't KO anyone but his own captain. What a traitor.

His role as a fighter and as a cook are both ruined in WCI.
Well, his cook role was already ruined since pre TS, the moment he became too salty with Zoro's strength, went insane and feed the poor crewmate with razor and scissor.

p.s.
Don't mention Zoro's feat in same sentence with the traitor's feat.

Sending a legit Top Tier while being under heavy gravity himself, did it with one sword style, and ended with getting praised by the Top Tier Fujitora himself. This feat is even too big for Sanji to imagine it.
