They are indeed the main fighters and the strongest fighters. To be frank (and that is not my name) Only Zoro, Luffy, and Usopp are "fighters" as their main role. They are also funnily enough the only people for whom their goals require kicking the buts of people who stand in their way. Luffy needs to defeat all others who seek One Piece (part of the reason he seeks to defeat the Yonko because he will need to fight them at some point) Zoro needs to fight every sword wielder who stands in his way, and Usopp needs to face his opponents and fears to be a brave warrior of the sea. The others do not require that they fight to succeed which is why they do not see as adept at it. This is also why in the Zoro vs Sanji debate (which I will not enter, but will give my thoughts if anyone is interested, same for Luffy vs Zoro) some people explain away Sanji not seeming as powerful as Zoro. In addition to the fact that Zoro always trains, Sanji is first and foremost a chef and his dream of finding all blue does not revolve around defeating anyone. Then of course there is the fact that some members tend to seek out battles more eagerly than others. The Monster Trio as they have been named do seem to fight the strongest, second strongest, and third strongest people due to their skills in battle being superior to the others in this regard as far as we have seen. That being said, they all have great dreams that push them forward and it is these dreams as well as the desire to fulfill the dreams of their crewmates that makes the Strawhats so strong and determined to overcome hardship. It is for these reasons that they became stronger, to support each other and to ensure that they all reach their goals, and the greater the challenge the more satisfying it will be when they finally make it. Sorry if I am just stating what everyone already knows. Lately my mind is dumping everything in it into my responses and statements. I hope my observations were insightful.
