I'm trying to be objective. Zoro saved the Sunny and nothing bad happened to him in the same chapter. This is what a strong and dependable underling should do.
Sanji stopped Venus for a panel and then he was immediately cast aside like a fodder. Bonney was still in danger (and then that guy also managed to cut the lab in half, but let's wait for chapter 1118 before bringing that up).
Either you look cool or you don't, I don't make the rules
