Desert or not, Jimbei is still losing to Queen. Jimbei might have better haki, but Queen's overall durability and scientific advantages would make things tricky for Jimbei. Are we forgetting the fact Sanji could've died this arc if it weren't for his germa awakening? This same attack would surely mess up Jimbei if we're not adding plot into the mix. Queen can take anything Jimbei throws at him considering he was taking heavy attacks from Sanji who has much better AP, DC, and debatable stronger haki in both forms. TF is Jimbei doing to him, punching him with the same attack that knocked out Who's Who who is nowhere near Queen in terms of power?

@Sean 175 How was Queen the downfall of his loss? Explain to me? If you're referring to the fact he blew himself up, that was more so a gag since it barley did anything to Queen himself considering he went onto taking much stronger attacks from Sanji. Jabra tried tricking Sanji but Sanji is smart enough to know he was playing fool with him and only lost bc Sanji used his brain to trick him into thinking he had the upper hand which worked very well in his favor since he was only trying to lure him in to finish the dealing blow.

@Charys Da 2nd what you just mentioned was one of them(gag or not it caused him to let Sanj go right as he was literally about to crush him to death).The others is how easily surprised he gets at feats he has literally already seen(Sanji showed himself disappearing twice with his speed and Queen dropped his guard both times),and relying on his resilience waaaay to much allowing his opponents to get in nasty blows that result in him accumulating a lot of unnecessary damage. Sanji literally won because Queen allowed himself to get distracted to take petty revenge on a girl who rejected him.

Jabra lost because of his arrogance. Every time he would get a good hit in or brush off some of Sanji attacks. He would take the time to brag about it instead of pressing the attack, tried to outsmart Sanji with an obvious lie,and even allowed himself to get tricked by Sanji when he thought he was trying to run away from their fight.

@Sean 175 With all due respect but Queen is capable of reacting to someone like Marco (the same person who can casually intercept Kizaru's light beams). The fact he couldn't react to Sanji just means Sanji's overall speed is to much for Queen's observation to keep up with. And with the gag situation, Sanji wasn't going to die. His germa genetics were already kicking in, so even if he'd let go at some point, Sanji would just repair himself like he did in the story already.

Arrogance yes, but Sanji still won due out smarting him. I can agree his arrogance did cause him the loss, but that doesn't change the fact Jimbei beat an opponent that is far weaker than the one Sanji faced off against which already shows you the power difference Sanji > Queen > Jimbei > Who's Who. Even if Queen is arrogant, how is he living from an attack that could've killed Sanji? Queen already stated masters of armament haki can't even escape his grasp unless you're a tank like Big Mom or Kaido or have insane haki capable of canceling out your devil fruit like Shanks. Last time I checked, Jimbei doesn't have that kind of monstrous durability and his haki is nowhere near the level of an emperor, let alone Shanks's.

All it takes is one coil attack and Jimbei is messed up and dead. He doesn't have germa genetics so he can't repair himself and heal damaged organs like Sanji, and his armament is just as strong as Sanji's and Sanji wasn't even able to escape his attack. And Jimbei (despite how serious he is) is the type to fall for a gag like Queen's. If Zoro got surprised of Kaku's attack during Enies Lobby, I'm more than sure Jimbei would react the same way as everyone else did when Queen used that attack on Sanji.

@Abaisbalanced HOLY SHIT QUEEN IS THAT BİG???

Yeah in full Zoan form he is

@Charys Da 2nd I don’t remember him reacting to Marco at all(dude got dominated by Marco and even yelled in pain when Marco hit him with phoenix brand). Queen couldn’t react because he got distracted and Sanji gave him little time to get ready since by the time Queen noticed him it was already too late(Respectful Queen is a whole idiot,after Sanji disappeared for a while he didn’t even bother to think to use his observation Haki to find him). Sanji was going to die,Queen was crushing him to the point that he would have eventually died from both crushed bones and ruptured organs.

Sanji got the W nonetheless,all I’m saying is that his opponents help make it easier for him to do so. It’s true that Sanji beat an opponent far stronger than Jinbei opponent,it’s also true Marco and Queen own foolishness helped give Sanji the W(power difference is more like this:Queen~>>Jinbe~>Sanji~>Who’s Who). I don’t think Jinbei would survive said attack but that would just mean Sanji has better defense and recovery not that he’s overall stronger(plus I don’t even think Jinbei would allow himself to get caught,heck Sanji only got caught cause he was caught off guard).

Jinbei wouldn’t allow himself to get caught. Plus his attacks and fighting style would give him a better advantage over Queen than Sanji did.

@Sean 175

The fact alone he was able to shoot Marco in his full bird form is no small reaction feat considering Marco in his somewhat hybrid form was capable of intersecting Kizaru's light beams.

@Sean 175 Can we please stop? Queen couldn't react to Sanji not because he got distracted but because he simply couldn't react to his speed. Sanji was confirmed to move so fast he literally becomes invisible by Oda himself. The only drawback is that he can't use that power in a girls bathhouse. And its already been established but if your observation haki isn't good enough, you can still get caught if your enemy can bypass your observation haki and even future sight (Kaido almost blitzing Luffy despite Luffy using future sight).

I don't know why your trying to downplay Queen's capabilities and the fact you actually think just bc Queen is incompetent at times that automatically means Jimbei is stronger than him. With that logic, Crocodile > Queen. Doflamingo > Queen. It's as simple as that, Jimbei is not stronger than Queen point blank period. Even if his fishman karate can bypass defense, Queen is still a got dang tank capable of tanking attacks that are far stronger than Jimbei's and despite being an idiot at times is hella unpredictable which can lead to an advantage. We already know this due to the fact Luffy was having a hard time against drunk Kaido due to how unpredictable he can be at times, and Jimbei doesn't know any of Queen's attacks from my knowledge, so he's deff not expecting some attacks that could easily end him. Only thing saving him is plot.

@Charys Da 2nd So that’s what you meant by he reacted to Marco? Ok then,I just thought you meant he blocked or dodge an incoming attack.

Yeah we can stop. Hopefully this alone will convince you he was distracted.

Btw,I don’t think Queen incompetence makes him overall weaker to Jinbei. Just that it’s going to help give Jinbei the W even more just like it helped with Sanji. The only difference is nobody is going to be able to soften Queen up for him,which is why I say it’s going to be extreme diff for him to beat Queen.
