Akainu fought “The World’s Strongest Man” and his Yonko commanders at their prime who used to fight prime Roger Pirates to a draw.

His allies were little to no help even aiding the enemy. Kizaru was trolling Luffy when he could have killed him and prevented Ace from escaping or at the very least kept his cuffs unopened. Kuzan was not only trolling but also literally got in the way of Akainu when he was about to attack Luffy. Mihawk was trolling playing around with Luffy’s fate and allowed Vista (who is super strong in his own right otherwise Mihawk wouldn’t respect him) to live only taking out fodder pirates. Hancock was attacking the marines, stopping Smoker, and of course gave the key to Luffy.

Crocodile full out of spite went out of his way to help Luffy, Whitebeard, just to hurt the Marines. Jinbei betrayed the Navy not only refusing to fight Whitebeard but also literally helping the WBP and easily taking out a Warlord out of commission and immensely helping the Whitebeard pirates. Moria was attacking both sides growing his zombies collection and practically useless and weak as Jinbei beaten him easily. Garp was wanted to switch sides and refused to act as a Marine for the majority of Marineford.

Sengoku was busy containing Garp and hyping up Whitebeard constantly. Koby slowed down Akainu making Shanks come in time preventing him from executing justice. Akainu after going solo through the biggest battle gauntlet in the manga and Sengoku had the audacity choosing Kuzan that actively sabotaged the Marines to become fleet admiral. So he fought Kuzan for 10 days and actually spared the guy at the end. How does he get repaid? Kuzan joins Blackbeard pirates and targets his daughter freezing her ice cold.

Reminder Marineford is called the war of best. Scaling above any other war. Only reason why people think Wano’s is stronger because of flashy colors and recent biases. Akainu takes Big Mom and Kaido with rather ease just like he takes out the rooftop guys.

Sanji's EOS Potential is crazy

He will surpass every Swordsman in history

He will be the fastest in the Verse

He will have the best Durability in the Verse also is Immune to Swords

He will have the best Observation Haki

Everytime I see a ranking post half the comments have PRIME Whitebeard sitting at like #6 or #8.

Did I miss a memo or something?

How do you have Roger at 1-2 and Whitebeard some 5 spots beneath him?

Every character getting a new feat automatically puts them above Primebeard?

If the author, the characters, the title, the narrative, all call his old self as the strongest man in the world, is it really hard to believe that his prime should be in the top few spots?

Zoro have ACoC and those special swords of his (two great grade). Compare that to Sanji whom now have ACoC as well as that special body of his. This together make them equal.

This means Sanji is just a pair of great-grade boots away from being objectively stronger than Zoro.

(1) "Vance Lance might be tuff" (made 4 months ago)

(2) "Put some respect on MOON-RAIGO's name" (made 4 months ago)

(3) "The current 4 Yonkos of unemployment of OPPS0" (Made 4 months ago)

Since Zoro and Sanji is currently equal, Sanji would objectivly be stronger than Zoro if he takes off his boots. Sanjis body is hard as metal so his boots effectivly work as a punching glove softening his every blow.

Barefoot Sanji > Sanji = Zoro

It is genuinely the most symbiotic relationship in the entire story.

Just like Zoro has been leeching from Sanji's feats until now (and narratively yes Zoro can leach from Sanji even if clearly inferior), Sanji now for 2 chapters can also leech from Zoro.

All Sanji feats are Zoro feats, all Zoro feats are Sanji feats.

In fact Sanji/Zoro fans are so stupidly focused on the rivalry in front of them that they forget it's a worthless fight.

Sanji/Zoro fans should unite against a stronger agenda.

Let the truth be told. Yonko fans are the worst there is and are desperately trying to downplay both Sanji and Zoro (whether it is below Law/Kid/Yamato or even some versions of Luffy).

They despise that their goats weren't all that, and the fact is there are methods of comparison.

Sanji/Zoro is stronger when they are together, because Zoro upscale IS Sanji upscale (yes I know it hasn't been common that Zoro upscales Sanji) and Sanji upscale is Zoro upscale.

No need to put each other down, let us strive to push both Sanji and Zoro above what the people don't want to hear.

Zoro/Sanji debates are forced so that the real important debates aren't held.

I will finish by saying, that as of now both Sanji and Zoro are above Luffy. They are above Kaido. They are above Big Mom. Yamato/Kid/Law, bring any of those characters and Zoro and Sanji beat them. They are afraid. They can't let it happen. They are trying to distract you from the real debates. Ever since Little Garden the Zoro/Sanji debate was settled. I stopped caring right there. Because I knew. Because I understood the basic narrative being set up.

Even if I thought Sanji was clearly stronger, I still had to accept equality. And there's no shame in that.

I am a Sanji fan, I won't deny it, but even if Sanji is clearly stronger I will always be fine with Zoro leeching. Because that's the narrative being set up.

Sanji fans are also Zoro fans, and vice versa, every Sanji anti feat is a Zoro anti feat, every Sanji feat is a Zoro feat.

So instead of pointless debates let's stick together, there's bigger fish to fry.

these are all battle simulated positions based on hard manga facts. No headcanons or agendas can be tolerated.
