Zoro is already taking charge.
Go ahead and stop kidding yourself Zoro fanboys. Don’t know why yall are just gonna pretend Sanji would actually be subservient to Zoro or disregard all the prior arcs Sanji has lead his own team.
The real answer: Zoro and Sanji. Matter of fact Sanji is the better leader and takes more initiative. You can wank “vc” Zoro for being at odds with the rest of the crew all you like, he is not a team player and I can’t even think of the last time he lead anyone
Yeah, well, one is taking command of the situation and making demands, while other is being considered an imbecile and simping idiot who is being "distraction". Seems like you're the only one crying right now because reality is killing your shit head-canon.
There is no wank "VC", anyway, Zoro is the closest thing to SH's VC and it's downright stated in canonical sources. That's all one needs. If anyone is going to take charge and lead the crew when Zoro is present, it's him, as shown vs Oars when even Sanji reluctantly obeyed his orders.
If am not mistaken sanji has actually lead the crew ,can't remember when zoro did that , so someone remind when , but I'll lean towards sanji or Nami
Sanji takes command when Luffy and Zoro aren't present, as he's the #3.
Whenever Luffy isn't present but Zoro is, he's been the one to take command always (unless it matches the specific role/field of other characters. I.e Nami in navigation)
In Alabasta, when Luffy went to fight Croc, Zoro immediately ordered the crew's following actions. Oda even emphasized by drawing him in big panel.
In TB, he took command of entire crew and directed them vs Oars, including Sanji.
In EL, Chopper asked Luffy to take back Usopp when he was standing on the edge, screaming, and once Luffy ignored him, Chopper asked Zoro and no one else.
In FMI, Zoro took command of entire palace and was communicating and negotiating with Fukaboshi. Nami and Usopp were just watching, while the former was requested Zoro to ask for money.
Can come up with many instances, but you get the gist.
Literal Vivre Card calls Zoro the closest thing to VC. Oda himself dubs Zoro and Rayleigh as "#2 and shadow of their captains". We don't need anymore, unless you actually want to stay true to your username lol
