General & Others If Jinbe and Yamato won't be Monsters or Wings to Luffy, then what would they be to him?

:suresure::suresure:

Jimbei and sanji are not a duo lmao, just accept it


Even Franky are chopper are grouped together more than these two

There isn't gonna be a YC 3 in the crew simply because

1)luffy is gonna be pirate king, he isn't gonna have a yonko like crew

2) there's a canon term for luffy's "commanders" and it's wings of the pirate king


It's really not complicated, Yamato will get better treatment than jimbei, but she won't be luffy's third commande specially when oda went out of his way to group together zoro and sanji and even clarified the hierchy of the crew in the same arc Yamato was introduced
Luffy already has 3 commanders Zoro Sanji and Jinbei. Yamato will make 4. Rather you want to consider them that or not I couldn’t care less. We made up the YC shit as fans anyway so I’m giving an opinion on their relationship I’m not married to this idea.

Zoro and Sanji are the groups. Jinbe and franky are closer grouped now than Jinbe and Sanji.

Luffy - Captain
Zoro/Sanji - Wings
Jinbe/Brook/Robin/Franky - Mature Adults
Nami/Chopper/Usopp - Weak trio
I don’t think Jinbei and Sanji having a close relationship stops Zoro and Sanji from being wings. I also don’t think Yamato having a close relationship to Luffy stops the monster trio.

Yamato will be to Luffy what Oden was to Roger. Zoro will be his Rayleigh, Sanji will be Scopper. Jinbei will be whoever the 4 strongest guy was.

Yamato is a wild card to me, she's simply too strong for the "mid trio" or anything in between, and considering her young age and the potential to grow further, she's definitely on "monster trio" tier for sure–and she's not going to lag behind Zoro and Sanji in the future either. There's a clear distinction between Jinbe and Yamato: Yamato is young [28 years old], she has adCoC, and she has one of the most powerful DFs in the series. She has so much raw potential for future arcs that I'd even argue that Luffy doesn't have; I mean, obviously Luffy is the MC and he's stronger than Yamato and he has future power ups as well etc. But Luffy is reaching to his peak, unlike Yamato. Disclaimer for Luffy fans: yes, Luffy is always going to be stronger than Yamato, obviously lol. He's the MC after all, ok!!

Yamato has one the top 4 defensive DF abilities in the series, only behind Kaido, Jozu, Cracker and Bartolomeo–and she has yet to awaken it. She also has advanced haki potential as well: she has yet to learn advanced CoA and advanced CoO either. Unlike Jinbe who is in his "mid to late" 40s [he's 46 years old] and doesn't really have much potential for growth, especially considering the fact that he doesn't have CoC, Yamato has ton shit of potential to grow. If she joins the crew, then she's definitely going to be on par with Zoro, Luffy, Sanji; at least on the same tier for sure.
How is Cracker DF defensive?
Yamat has top DF defensive because Kaido took a Thunder Bagua to broke it meanwhile Luffy is tanking a bunch without nothing? I rather believe she was tanking with ACoC just as Luffy doing now and that attack was too much for her.

Also, potential to growth is very vague and not age related. Crocodile grow a bunch despite being old and being at Impel Down. Plus, Jinbei is a fishmen the rules fore humans doesn't apply to him.

Commanders are a thing tho

Jimbei is officially part of the crew

And robin said that sanji is one of the two wings of the pirate king

A lot of people theorized that Robin was stronger than zoro and sanji at that time because of her devil fruit ability

Many also argued that Franky was stronger because he was "equal to luffy" simply because they fought

It's the same thing over and over again
robin never did anything that confirmed that she was stronger it was just speculation, but yamato did something that confirmed she was stronger than zoro and sanji until zoro got his power-up.
either she joins the crew and is stronger than sanji or she doesn't join at all

Or third and most likely option

She joins and eventually gets outshined

Yamato is currently stronger than both imo but once zoro completely masters enma and sanji gets better control or his flammes they're definitely gonna be stronger than her

I know Im not trying to take Sanjis position as a wing away. I don’t think that changes no matter who joins. I think people assume that I hate Sanji and want to downplay him because I don’t think he’s as strong as some people do. But I don’t hate him.

I don’t think that the most important thing about Sanji is his strength. What makes Sanji special to Luffy along with his strength is who he is as a person. Just as Zoro was willing to take the pain from Luffy Sanji was to. That makes Sanji more important that any new comer in my opinion. He also has seniority which matters.

Jinbe and Sanji don’t have a close relationship? Oda was pairing Jinbe up with all the straw hats throughout wano because he was new.

Robin and Jinbe
Luffy Zoro and Jinbe
Franky and Zoro and Jinbe
Luffy Sanji and Jinbe

He was new so Oda was putting him into the straw hats and almost none of the straw hats got to actually interact with Jinbe prior to this arc.

It’s clear as Crystal based on who Oda set up the straw hats with how he organizes them:

Captain - Fighting an Emperor
Wings - Fought Calamities
Adults - Fought Tobi Roppo
Weakling trio - No actual fight so far

Jinbe May be the 4th strongest but he’s not comparable to the monster trio like he is the adults
Post automatically merged:

when was it implied that robin was stronger than sanji or zoro?
When she was introduced?

She was the right hand of a warlord who beat Luffy.
Her bounty was second highest
She fought and defeated the strongest royal guard in Skypeia

if she joins she is stronger than sanji, it doesn't matter whether sanji would eventually be strong, that means sanji was kicked out of the m3 for a while

In one piece will power and emotions are tangible

The more mental strength and will power zoro and sanji have, the stronger they are

I agree with that. But I think both Jinbei has more will power than Sanji easily. I don’t think that makes him stronger though.
:choppawhat:

How so?

Sanji made even more sacrifices than jimbei

Sanji's flammes are affected by his "passion" ans his flammes happen to be the main reason he's stronger than jimbei

It's really not complicated, just because you have an opinion about jimbei and sanji's character doesn't mean it's truth

This is purely opinion based but I think Sanjis decision to go to WCI made me second guess his will power. He was broken to easily he left the crew in a time of need.

Jinbei literally went to Big Mom at the worst possible time and told her he was leaving to join the SH who were raiding her island in her face. With his entire country on the line. He had more at stake than Sanji yet had more faith in Luffy than Sanji did. His will wasn’t broken at any point.
