Discussion Rank the monster trio

[TitaniumOxide]

you jinxed it!

Ahahahahahaha I kinda felt I spoke too soon since only a few people posted when I said that lol.

But I just had a thought. Well, actually a memory since I'm sure this has been brought up before. The monster trio may not actually include Luffy anymore. I can argue that with Jinbe in the mix Luffy need to be moved into his own tier above the monster trio. Jimbe deserve to be a part of the monster trio. Back on Whole Cake Island, Luffy gear 4th punched Big Mom and she just blocks it with her forearm like it's nothing, it didn't even move her back at all. Jinbe however was able to literally repel Big Mom's onslaught as she attacked and chased the Sunny. The only issue here is that Jinbe doesn't have that much screen time. But from what we have seen, compassion? Check. Strength? Check. Surfing the sunny thru a bigass tsunami? Check. Oh yeah he can talk to fish. Of course there are more examples to put him as part of the monster trio but I acknoledge the point can be moot because of his lack of screentime.

Yeesh, you proved biased away by miles lol especially thinking Zoro is above Luffy in everything XD.

Dude Luffy wins luck and kindness categories no contest, I would argue that Zoro= Luffy in raw strenght

Nah fam. Hardly at all. Your overshooting too much if you think Zoro is equal or stronger than Luffy. Both strength and durability.

Not hateful. Though got give dues that right and not Headcannon. Like putting Zoro above Luffy on perseverance when he has durability and stamina issues in current arc. Doesn't make sense much.

Having sad backstiries doesn't affect your luck or else everyone would have no luck. Sanji been Lucky around even recently, so dk what you mean there.

Zoro tanked the whole pain and fatique from luffy in thriller bark. Zoro is not past his prime so he still maintains his stamina.

Sanji had a shit childhood compared to other mates, only less worse than robin's. He even almost got doomed in the wedding, if only not for luffy to save him. Luck is not sanji strongest suit

Luck is not sanji strongest suit

He is lucky to always fight dumb, weak and goofy opponents. That's the best luck one can ask for.

Zoro did not "tanked" Luffy's damage in Thrilliar Bark. He almost died from it, and was unconscious for days.

According to Rob Lucci, when Luffy uses Gear 2, he pumps his blood to increase his metabolism, something that would be impossible for a regular person.

Apparently that is exactly what happened to Zoro, he absorbed the damage of Gear 2, and his veins couldn't contain the pressure of his blood.

Basically it's impossible for anyone but Luffy to take that damage.

A combination of G2 and G3 was wrecking Luffy too back in EL and TB. Zoro tanked that damage which gears did to Luffy as well as damage his body suffered from burning through the power of 100 shadows in Nightmare mode.

Yet faints when stab in shoulder by nerf pleasure and faints while Luffy got nailed in ribs and kept fighting from YC. Zoro is not and never was higher durability than Luffy. He isn't even higher than Sanji at this point too.

Again everyone has bad backstories. By your logic everyone isn't lucky. Talking about currently, not past and Sanji got more Luck than Zoro has especially looking at current arc.

Then why Zoro fought with Fox and lost to Yeti-Brothers and other goofy characters like Kaku. That's Zoro Luck. Sanji been taking legit threats while Zoro can't keep with serious leagues anymore.

After fighting Ryuma, Oz/Moria and tanking an Ursus Shock.

Yet still got nailed easily by Hawkins, swipe by Kyoshiro, fainted to nerf Kamazou and Gyukimaro the Fox, etc.. We basing on current events, not past actions. If he can't perform the same, he is nit same lvl as before. Zoro is under in Perservance if Oda stated that way until further notice.

 

[Aliocha]

Zoro received all the stress from luffy's body after fights, not his damage itself.

Probably his own wounds opened after that, which explains the whole bloody body and the floor.

The manga is not clear about what happened.

However, it can't be Zoro own wounds, since his whole body was covered in blood.

 

[M3J]

Luffy is probably one of the luckiest living characters in OP, if not the luckiest.

Got disagree on perseverance and luck. Sanji gotten luck with ladies as shown and Zoro isn't no longer durable guy after Wano did to him with Kamazou and Gyukimaro. He be above Zoro on both, but still under Luffy.

 

[Brandish μ]

I have to agree, Zoro doesn't have 'luck' with women.

He doesn't even try.

Women flock to him. Desire and thirst, I know the feeling.
