General & Others OG M3 will stay


The OG M3 is dead

Long live the new M3

I don't actually think this but given that characters standing next to each other is all some folk need to scream "they're portrayed as equals!!! I'll run with it
Next pages has Sanji, Jimbei, and Zoro will the close ups though later while rest are background and Luffy on top of defeated giant enemy. So by that logic Luffy, Sanji, and Jimbei. If we now taking each position and standing moment now.
 


Jinbe's portrait is still pathetic in front of the monster trio.
See that the monster trio has really big action panels, Jinbe's panel is tiny and he was sharing space with Kinemon's reaction lol.

That was just a random order of action, Jinbe ahead of Zoro also doesn't make sense, it seems to me that Oda was excited to want to make Jinbe fight
Considering fainter vs top tier tank, it makes a lot of sense, also the only dude to make Kinemon orgasm
 
Sanji is out, maybe after Wano he will be back in the monster trio but now one cheat power up wasn't enough for him to stay a monster. In 977, he's in the mid tier because he doesn't have the raid suit on, although i believe he's on his own tier with the raid suit, not level monster, not mid level either, perhaps simply high tier alone in his class. I thought Luffy would be in his own tier and the new monster trio would be Jinbei, Zoro and Sanji but it's not how Oda see it for now. Well pre timeskip Franky was stronger than Sanji too before he got his Diable Jambe Power up, it's a repeat.
 
The monster trio is a term used to refer to Luffy, Zoro & Sanji coz of their abnormal strength in comparison to the other crew members. Jinbe is of the same ilk as the aforementioned 3 so the abnormals on the crew are now 4 as such the concept of the monster trio should now become the monster quartet. Regardless I agree with what the OP is saying. I don't think the order of strength in the crew will be changing. At the very least, not with regards to Luffy, Zoro & Sanji.

It´s a concept to underline the big strength difference between the trio and the rest of the crew.
Enies Lobby illustrated that very well, Zoro and Sanji beat opponents respectively who had almost 3 times the amount of douriki the other CP9 members had, and they high diffed their opponents, while Luffy extreme diffed someone yet on another completely new level.
So the gap between Luffy and Zoro/Sanji was not as big as between the latter two and the rest of the crew, the term made sense.
Now? It does not. Sanji started very close to the mid trio post-TS, whereas Luffy and Zoro were miles ahead. Luffy even got further through powerful power-ups. So the term post-TS did not make any sense.
And now? Sanji will never get away from Jinbe so much that the term would make sense, so it´s over.

Bruh I'm not tryna have an argument with regards to the strength difference between the individual members of the M3. You can think whatever you want to with regards to that. Regardless, the fact still remains that Luffy, Zoro & Sanji are several times stronger than the other members of the crew hence the reason why they are referred to as monsters.
