TheOne Piecepower scale has always sparked heated debates, and one of the longest-running arguments centers around Sanji and Zoro. While most fans accept that Zoro is stronger, the idea that Sanji is one of the weakest Yonko commanders is a take that even his harshest critics struggle to defend.

One Piece

One Pieceis a magnificent tale with exceptional worldbuilding and a wholesome cast. Among them, Luffy’s Straw Hat Pirates are some of the most interesting of characters. After defeating Kaido, Luffy replaced him as a Yonko, usurping the title of an Emperor.

The four emperors of the previous generation, or the current one, are all strong, enigmatic figures. The way they ran their crews was through their commanders, who were only second to them and above all else. The question then arises about who stands on the list of the worst Yonko commanders and whether Luffy’s crewmates are on it.

Zoro and Sanji

The worst Yonko commanders and Straw Hats aren’t on it

After Luffy became a Yonko, it can be said that his men like Zoro and Sanji can be called commanders even though it wasn’t explicitly stated so. Sanji and Zoro are unique characters in the Straw Hat Pirates. They keep fighting each other to draw, but there is no doubt thatthey are both some of the strongest charactersinOne Pieceitself.

Both have consistently proven themselves against multiple top-tier opponents and have played critical roles in multiple arcs, often leading to the success of the Straw Hats.

When we talk about the worst commanders of the Yonko inOne Piece, just by virtue of their combat capabilities and their virtues or integrity, it can be said that they are nowhere close.

We only need to take a look at the weakest Yonko commanders inOne Piecehistory to understand clearly that they do not belong in that category.

For instance- Zoro, as Luffy’s right-hand man and the one who joined his crew the first, embodies raw power, discipline, and swordsmanship, all of which were showcased during his battles during the Wano arc.

Zoro has an uncanny ability to wield advanced Conqueror’s Haki that puts him in a different league, making him one of the strongest Yonko commanders.

Zoro and Sanji are far from the worst Yonko commanders

Sanji, on the other hand, is built differently. Unlike Zoro, who only dreams about becoming the strongest swordsman, Sanji looks for the simple things in life. He is seen as romantically attracted to Nami but when push comes to shove, he is the one that people can rely on.

With his skills, speed, and strategy,he managed to take down Queen, one of Kaido’s top executives. While he doesn’t match Zoro in possessing or utilizing pure destructive capability, his adaptability makes him a formidable opponent when it comes to combat.

When discussing the weakest Yonko commanders in history, there are many that are to be considered first. Jack, who was one of Kaido’s lead performers, was repeatedly humiliated in battle despite his reputation. Snack, of the Big Mom Pirates, was defeated by Urouge and quickly demoted. Smoothie failed to live up to any bare expectations.

So when talking about the worst Yonko commanders, Sanji and Zoro do not even come close,being not just the strongest but some of the most experiencedand battle-hardened.
