The entire crew needs to become monsters, just like Redhair Pirates, as Brannew said it, no soft targets and they do have such potential and personality which Oda has been holding back since TS.

Robin's power is crazy and only limits now are physically overpowered and logia opponents but with CoA which isnt far fetched she is becoming a real threat.

Chopper accepted himself as a monster and with his scientific knowledge of his zoan fruit his potential is far from what he has shown so far.

Brooks potential is also possibly broken and limited by Oda's imagination. Franky has so much potential and his character has been nerfed since TS, he has been kicking Luffy's ass at start of Water7 ffs...

The only soft targets I see for now are Nami and Usopp and if they get some raid suit versions of their own it is fixed, I would love to see them in samurai armor like Kiku's.

As for the top 4, Jinbe is a monster on his own and in water maybe even comparable to a Yonko. If Sanji is to surpass him, bring it on Oda but it hasnt happened yet.

Luffy and Zoro are going to be stories for themselves. Shanks and Beckman are hyped and Beckman is nothing what Zoro will be. Luffy and Zoro have been aiming for the very top since the start of the manga and have accepted themselves as dead to achieve their dreams.

Every single TOP crew out there had 1 captain & 3 Top fighters or more than 3.... why should we limit only SHs to 2 TOP fighters when SHs are supposed to become strongest among them all

Yea the m3 will always be luffy zoro sanji... Even if jinbe joins he's gonna grow weaker than these 3. Zoro will be wss, luffy will be pk, and sanji has a case to be a top tier. Jinbe is already in his prime and it's doubtful he gets a huge boost to get to be a top tier. At most i can see jinbe jumping from around yc3 to yc1. Luffy is already at yc1, zoro may leave wano at yc1, and sanji will probably leave wano at least at yc3 or around it.

Hate to break it to you, but the monster trio hasn't existed for a long time now. With the introduction of the Worst Gen, even Zoro's spotlight has taken a hit thanks to Law. Punk Hazard he defeated the strongest opponent, Dressrosa took part in defeating the main antagonist, and now in Wano it's possible he'll be in the final battle against Kaidou, if not him Kidd is going to be either way. Sanji is just picking up the crumbs to find any relevant fight, and for a lot of post skip he's given the honours of playing the hype tool for enemies thanks to him being in the "just strong enough, but just weak enough" sweet spot.

I like the addition of the raid suit though, it was much needed for Sanji to remain somewhat relevant as a fighter on Wano, way too many hard hitters here otherwise.

But yea if you want to blame something for the irrelevance of the M3 you can thank the WG, too many strong/important individuals to fit into a scheme in order for the Strawhats to still get theirs like pre skip. We've moved past just the SH pirates at this point of the story, too many mouths to feed, that's hard for a lot of you to accept (understandable since that's what made people fall in love with One Piece in the first place).
