It's pretty simple guys, there's not even an argument.
Yes, Black Maria and Queen would think Sanji is the 2nd and Zoro is the 3rd because of their bounties, now why would Sanji have a higher bounty if we all know Zoro is stronger and more relevant to the story afterall? he is a supernova, he is meant to become the worlds strongest swordsman, in fact he had a duel with the WSS during Sanji's introduction arc and stealing one of the biggest highlights of the arc.
It's very simple, Zoro wasn't in Whole Cake when they attacked Big Mom's territory, in fact, he was in DISGUISE as a Ronin (not even a pirate) inside a country that is CLOSED OFF to all outside interference and the World Governament, so there was no reason for Zoro's bounty to increase during that time.
And even Sanji having ONE WHOLE NEW WORLD ARC in advantage against Zoro, facing off one of the Yonkou, Sanji could only match Zoro's bounty and get 10 mil above it, just so Oda could make a gag.
Of course, candies are just going to completely forget these facts and focus on that little dumb moment without context at all, after all they need these small wins because they are starving.
So let them, we will see what happens at the end of Wano, it's that simple.
Just chill out Zoro fans, let the candies keep crying like babies and get their fake W, because all we need to do is wait.
Sanji fans have taken so many L's this year alone with Zoro CoC confirmed, Zoro scaring Kaido, Sanji not facing King after them talking about that shit for years since King showed up.
