Is there still a m3 ?

it was in like the first page of the chapter after yamato's introduction. Page one is shaking ulti and she seems unresponsive.

you can say she was tanking it if you want, but with the amount of injury she took from that hit, Yamato would have easily been able to defeat her if she continued to fight. Hence I put yamato significantly above ulti.

This can clearly be seen when Yamato was able to casually block a punch from Luffy which utilized both G2 and G3, whereas a simply G3 punch was enough to fuck up Page One's jaw and base Luffy was easily able to deal with Ulti's hybrid.
On the bolded bit fair enuff I must've missed that. Also maybe our definitions of tanking are different, but imo tanking doesn't mean taking an attack without damage. I acknowledge that Ulti took significant damage from that attack but she was still very much fit for battle.

Also I don't see how you can put Yamato significantly above Ulti if what was most likely one her higher end attacks, potentially even her strongest attack in "Raimei Hakei" was unable to put Ulti down even with her guard down. Also there was no fight between Yamato and Ulti, Ulti was fighting Luffy and Yamato caught her off guard with a powerful attack.

Also the Yamato/Page One situation is not comparable. Luffy used a combination of his insane speed and G3 on Page One (i.e. Luffy used sheer speed to blind side Page One and caught him straight on the Jaw in his least mobile Zoan form whereas he attacked Yamato directly from the front). Still even with no guard Page One took that attack to the Jaw like a champ.

Don't get me wrong Yamato parrying Luffy's EG type attack and then the new style armamnet attack with a shield IIRC are good feats, but I don't think you can make a direct comparison of that with Page One and those feats imo do not clearly establish her above Sanji. Sanji was able to block a named attack from a Yonkou WCI with Luffy without his Raid Suit PU and that attack should be a lot stronger than what ever Luffy dished out to Yamato.

I agree but again all that tells us is that he is supposed to be strong it says nothing about how strong he is in relation to Sanji and that's my point. It a vague statement that doesn't give us anything other than he is strong. A requirement of being a warlord is not being stronger than Sanji. He definitely does having a bounty of 1 billion, being so strong that the Luffy was surprised that even someone as strong as Inu couldn't defeat him despite him only being an underling, Being equal with the dukes while they where taking turns to rest while he was constantly fighting, them not believing even he'd be killed even if his opponents where two admirals his portrayal definitely exceeds that of Jinbe.

Alright fair enough.

He wasn't but he would have died if he did not get a blood transfusion not so? That puts a cap on Luffy's endurance in FI he then went on to take far more damage later on which was incomparable to what he dealt with is FI. Again even if you want to imply that his endurance remains the same it would not invalidate the point I'm making. The point I'm making is what Luffy went through is far worse than what he did in FI so you have reason to believe that it sheds light on what Luffy's new limitations are. The same cannot be said for Jinbe(Other than his Haki).

That is not true it gives him better defense relative to his normal state that is it. It giving him better defense than Sanji specifically is plain conjecture. When was a jet dial stated to be better than an impact dial? A jet dial is simply a stronger version of a breath dial while an impact dial is able to absorb kinetic energy even explosions meaning and impact dial would absorb the force. If Chopper could come out without damage I don't see why Sanji would take damage from that attack specifically. No he didn't he is literally shown in one spot in multiple panels.

Again blocking an attack and taking an attack cleanly are two different things. Law blocked the attack so he minimized the damage Sanji didn't have a guard up what so ever. Also I recall Luffy blocking it but getting sent flying without damage but was then held down by Trebol.

The magma punch hit he hand not his body and even then his hand was completely burned. Also we do not know if Sanji would have been done in by Overheat and even then I don't recall overheat ever being landed cleanly on anyone so that's not really all that bad.

Sure that's the comparison I think both have their own strengths. I don't believe Sanji could block the attack unscathed but I believe he can block it if we see his hardening and that why I'd say that Sanji has the strength to block it not so much the haki to come out of it with the same result Jinbe did.
How do you want it to be shown ? By direct comparison?
I think their Portrayals are quite clear cut that in strength, one piece world places Jinbei above Sanji.
How does bounty indicate superiority if Jinbei when they aren't in the same crew? Your same point can be used against you here by stating that it doesn't show any relation to Jinbei.
But that regardless, the Dukes do not have the hype of Jinbei so Jack drawing with them isn't a case of superior portrayal. Would you say that Luffy holds the Dukes highly than he does Jinbei?

Blood loss is not an endurance cap though. I don't even know how you would use that to measure endurance. Endurance is about the amount of damage one can take and still keep going. the bite was the only damage Luffy took.
Luffy didn't go through anything worse between FI and DR? If so you can provide an instance.
Also the point was about equating Sanji's endurance to Jinbei's endurance just from a single punch those characters took....which is too shallow and argument.

Such an argument does not work. Just because chopper did doesn't mean Sanji can.
You would be saying that the BM slap is weaker than the Vergo kick which did damage to Sanji which would be completely wrong.
If that was the case, how did Brook end up behind BM with Zeus cut in half when BM was in the mid air?


Luffy took damage from the athlete kick.
I'm using the blocking to measure the AP of the attack.
The attack which stunned Sanji is far weaker than a manga punch. And Jinbei took 3 of those. 1 was the one he took with his palm, the other went through his chest when he was carrying Luffy. So from an endurance standpoint, it is a non contest.

Well we shall see

Direct or Indirect comparison is fine regardless. The warlord title is awarded based on notoriety(Not saying strength doesn't matter but it isn't the most important aspect of the warlord title). The one piece world would also probably think Moriah and Crocodile are stronger than Sanji that doesn't necessarily make it true. It's kinda like in the beginning Zoro was always mistaken as the captain even though Luffy was easily on the same level and that's my point. Sanji may or may not have the notoriety to be considered a warlord but from a strength perspective he would qualify. However he is already part of someone elses crew so the shicibukai title would be awarded to his captain regardless of his strength. The bounty part wasn't the main part of my argument but bounty is actually a better indicator of strength than just being a warlord. Yes exceptions exist but again bounty has been used time and time again to highlight what strength a person is at. It's all about the context I do not believe that is the same thing as Jine's warlord title.

The Duke definitely do have that hype. Your mistaking relevance with hype. The dukes where able to hold their own against Jack for half a day without any assistance. G2/G3 Luffy was swiftly swept aside by Cracker and even his first usage of G4 was not enough to take down Cracker. Someone Like Jack is at the very least comparable to that Cracker Soldier and the same Luffy was shown to be outclassed yet was not depicted in the same light against Jinbe. It should really put thing into perspective that the feat the Dukes pulled off was extremely insane when you look at Luffy's performance against Cracker.

Why would blood loss not be a measurement of endurance when the blood loss itself is a result of damage dealt? Endurance is the ability to endure an unpleasant or difficult process or situation without giving way. Persevering in spite of losing blood is the definition of endurance. Jinbe can have better endurance than Sanji however that is a indirect comparison of them sustaining similar damage from identical attacks. How can that not be used as an instances to compare their endurance/durability towards another?

True but Sanji has would have the skill set to block it I believe. Why can't that Specific kick be stronger than the slap? Given the fact that every other kick that Vergo used Sanji was able to counter it just fine why wouldn't it be possible for that kick to be stronger than Big moms Slap? Would that not be like saying the kick Sanji used to break the pacifista neck at the start of the time-skip would have no effect on Daz bones cause he blocked Mihawk's slash?

Jinbe hand took the brunt of the damage. I don't want to come off as I'm downplaying as it is impressive and I don't think Sanji would have been able to stop it but it's kinda like Law having his hand cut off. The hand is what takes most of the impact not the body itself and the comparison I make with him and Sanji is something which happens after that ordeal so to an extent it is a comparison of both's abilities.
