Bougya Luffy has 4 vice captains as of now

#21
Even Nami herself admits Sanji is a better leader
She was proud to announce herself and co as Twirly pirates

So far, Sanji is the only SHs to actually lead the crew (half or not) when Luffy isn't around and the crew is named after him

Zoro didn't even lead half the crew in Wano when luffy was away

Blud knows that at the very minimum, vice captains can be numerous as Shachi and Penguin are both vice captains according to Oda

My bad King

We can't forget the true progenitor, heir to the throne for when Luffy eventually greets the guillotine


:finally:
No.2 is not the same as vice captain dumbfuck

Sanji - best at leading during espionage/side-quests





Zomo - better at leading during domestic crises within the crew


Franky - best at leading the weakhats during boss fights such as against Meme or Saturn

Jinbei - Helms Leader when he must take helm when the Sunny is under attack or needs immediate control

It was never stated officially that in manga or SBS that Zomo is vice-captain

Several of the strawhats have stepped up to fill-in for Luffy, most commonly Sanji who has had more leadership moments than any of the strawhats

Luffy has a lot of burdens on him and the captain needs more than 1 team lead, hence Jinbei and Sanji for example taking leading roles regularly in the post-TS

In term of amounts of leadership moments, Sanji > Jinbei > Franky > Zomo > Others

To support my argument, Oda himself in SBS says:
Every masterpiece has its cheap copy @ShishioIsBack

Bro they can never be four vice in a company or establishment.. It's either the president, vice president, chancellor or vice etc.. Zoro is the only vice captain of the strawhats it's simple really
 

Garp the Fist

Bwahahahaha

Yes, in a crew of ten people there is one captain and four vice-captains. And the other five are sub-vice-captains.

Or we use our common sense and see Zoro is the only person who has ever been called a First Mate in manga, anime, live action, Vivre Card, databook, whatever you want.

Good point, maybe that's why Oda explicitly said in SBS that nobody is the official vice captain and multiple can fill that role when the circumstances call

As it happens, such circumstances have had Sanji leading in far more instances than Zoro
If we are being honest nami acts like the vc the most on a day to day basis. Obviously zoro is meant to fill the role as the #2. The shs are unique in that the entire crew including luffy listens to the person in the crew with the most knowledge/experience in the problem at the moment.

There's only 2 naval ranks in the Strawhats, Captain and first mate. Everyone else is equal.
I'm fine with there being only 2 official naval ranks, fulfilled by Luffy and Zoro, Captain/FM, that correlates

Second statement doesn't make sense, there is a hierarchy in the aspect of authority wherein the weakhats always render under Sanji, Franky or Jinbei when Luffy is absent
