General & Others Sanji getting conquerers haki and jinbe not having it is

#23
Their equals currently in order for Sanji to level up to be certain he is the true #3 he needed something CoC seems to be the way for Oda to make Sanji jump past him.

Until he gets AdvCoC they're equals.
Nah bro this is cope. It was over the moment Oda decided to keep the wings dynamic and have Jimbei fight Who's Who while Sanji not only fought Queen but received effectively 2 power-ups in the process

Jinbe came out of it with a bigger bounty for a mediocre opponent. It's clear that Oda wants Sanji to remain #3 but that in itself doesn't reflect in the plot until he actually gets CoC

Eh. I'm not sold on the bounty argument, mostly because Oda has historically used these bounties as gags and to fulfill numbers wordplay.

Jimbei's portrayal as a fighter once he joined the crew has not been nearly as compelling as it was beforehand. As of 2026, what good reason is there to have him above Sanji at this point?

I don't think the bounty is even an argument, as the difference is so tiny. Ironically it mattered quite a bit to Sanji. But the argument that Sanji's accomplishments in Wano put him ahead meets this wall.

Jinbe as of now has still clashed against the stronger opponents historically. Ace had a greater reputation than Queen, Akainu is above Kizaru, and Big Mom is above Killingham. Again I do understand that even by the end of this arc Oda may make a definitive statement, but Jinbe is continually underrated as a character no matter how strong Sanji gets.
