he already did in the flower capital. remind me who was the genius vice captain who came up with the x mark on their arms that everyone followed. It was zoro 🥴
Questions & Mysteries Straw Hat Vice Captain
- Thread starter PirateKingDrew
- Start date
sanji was leading the crew from dressrosa and took care of bigmoms ship and saved the crew from bege that proves he is just as competent as zoro as a leader
Not unequivocal, but considering the source, I think it’s safe to at least infer that he’s currently filling the role in some capacity. I know Vivre Cards have already been contradicted in their short time, but this still seems like a salient distinction.
As far as who is more qualified to be VC of the SHP, Jinbe immediately has the strongest case, but Zoro’s literally the first recruit and has been around the longest...it’s not unreasonable for him to retain the position despite the fishman’s storied journey underneath and on the world’s oceans. How Jinbe alters the crew dynamics overall will be really interesting to see as the story nears its final arc, but if that’s just as a helmsman or the vice captain remains to be seen.

First Jinbe has role a helmsman .
In the manga Oda never gave Zoro an official Role as fighter or Vice captain , but in the Databooks & Vivercards Oda sometimes says he is a fighter and sometimes say he is a vice captain .
but those Databooks & Vivercards are nor that reliable as manga , we know how Vivercards made a lot of mistakes , even the same with Databooks they said sabo is dead but he turned to be alive in the manga lol.
even if you want to surprise your fans you cant lie like this .
Also they said about vivercards that its from oda
, but they cant trick us anymore 
, what they reveal in these books is what appeared in the manga or what they think its .
even ryuma being a shimotsuki in vivercards is hinted in the manga before not something out of the blue .
And lastly zoro never get a introduction box , so lets wait and see maybe this arc oda will give him his intro box and we will know if oda will give him an official Role or not

My opinion:
The Strawhats have no official vice-captain, but if one had to be chosen, it'd be Zoro for the following reasons
> Zoro was the first to join, and thus one of the 2 core members(with the captain) who started the Strawhat crew
> Zoro was usually compared to the captain both in terms of strength or leadership which is essential in a world of one piece where you can't survive if you can't protect your crew
> Zoro evolved in his character from initially aiming at killing whoever stepped over his dream of becoming WSS to taking charge in Luffy's absence and supporting him as well as the crew in decisive moments(when Usopp was treating Luffy wrongly, when it came down to take down to replace Luffy and taking his burden against Kuma and even recently in the flower capital when he was taking charge of everything in the hope of finishing Orochi) like a vice-captain does
However, another candidate imo could be Jinbei because
> Jinbei already has a huge experience in leadership as the former captain of Sun pirates and also had a battle comparison with Luffy in FI
> Jinbei was the one responsible in bringing Luffy back to his senses when he was ready to abandon the path of piracy when Ace died
> Jinbei is the one who saved Luffy's life by sharing his blood in FI
But logically speaking, i think if Oda were to choose, he'd go for Zoro because he already said before he was one of the 3 core members of the story, because Jinbei already has a role as an helmsman while Zoro has more historical bond in the crew, is a fighter just like Luffy, with more ambition and story importance(worst generation grouped with his captain)

I don't think any one ever have the "authority" of a vice captain ...
like when Dark King and Ben Beckman order something when their captain is gone I expect all crew obey and in fact trust the vice captain judgment more than captain himself
no one in crew have that kind of authority nor that type of authority is needed for straw hats
but i vote for Zoro anyway
