Sanji is way above Jinbe in terms of feats. Sanji two-shot Queen while Jinbe mid diffed Who’s-Who with him obviously being below Queen. Portrayal isn’t there for Jinbe > Sanji and if you want to use bounty, BM > Shanks by that logic.

He really isn’t(the majority of Sanji opponents were weaker even). Jinbe fought Ace for five day,he easily showed he could outmaneuver G2 Luffy,low diff Moria, Blocked a punch from Akainu,and has sent BM flying twice. It was more than two shots and Queen had been softened up for him as well,Jinbe fought an opponent Zoro and Sanji realistically should have been fighting since they were more on their level compared to King and Queen. Jinbe is always portrayed as a strong and note worthy character,BM even said him leaving her crew would be a noteworthy blow and both Law&Kid were greatly shocked that he joined Luffy crew. Bounties,nine times out of ten,is usually a good estimate to tell us how strong a person is.

Law and Kid were shocked that Jinbei joined Luffy because he was a Warlord. Jinbei didn't block Akainu's punch, he served as a human shield for Luffy (and Luffy still almost died) and was deeply wounded afterwards.

It's funny how people say that the Beasts Pirates were weakened without considering that many Straw Hats fought several enemies as well.

Sanji just had trouble with Queen due to his moral dilemma. Once he decided to go all out, he low diffed Queen. Same for Zoro, who just had trouble with King's dishonesty and Enma draining his Haki, but was able to low diff him once he realized King's secret. Then you can say that Zoro almost died, and that's true, but it was due to the side effects of the drug he took.

Of course Jinbei is strong, but not stronger than Sanji. Sanji is Zoro's rival and Oda will likely keep their power balanced until the end. Jinbei is the third strongest of the three.

Former Warlord title, another factor that puts him above Sanji. He did in chapter 574, you’re talking about what happened in chapter 578.

That’s because the straw hats were the underdogs to begin with and Luffy,Zoro,and Sanji got chances to briefly recover from their injuries to allow them to comeback an keep fighting.

Sanji also had trouble because he couldn’t deliver AP great enough to do any serious damage. After he got his germa enhancement (while also overcoming his moral Dilemma) he was able to actually start delivering real damage,Queen then later dropped his guard to help Sanji finally get the W(he didn’t Low diff him). There was nothing dishonest about it King was stronger and had great defense. Zoro sword definitely didn’t help matters but he definitely didn’t low diff King.

Jinbe is definitely currently stronger. He was stronger than Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji,now it’s just Sanji he’s stronger than. But I’m sure Oda will have him surpass Jinbe eventually.

thats really specific

The Straw Hats didn't get time to recover save for Luffy after being rescued by Heart Pirates. Zoro had to take a drug (which allowed him to fight but his body was still fragile) and Sanji, after fighting Page One, endured a brutal beating from Black Maria without fighting back. And yes, those were both low diff battles once Zoro and Sanji stopped struggling against their own sword and body, respectively.

Sanji was literally carrying a sleeping heavily injured Zoro who was heavily casted up(then later got a special shot that miraculously brought him back up to top fighting condition). Sanji nearly got crushed to death by Queen, only for his germa enhancements to help regenerate him. No,the overall fights took place for too long and wasn’t just because Sanji and Zoro unique circumstances. King & Queen was legitimately stronger than them.

IMO:

Post-TS Jinbe > Post-TS G2 Luffy

Queen > Katakuri

Wano Jinbe > Jack

KoH Zoro >= Ifrit Jambe Sanji

EH Lucci > Current Jinbe

@Sean 175 Zoro only had trouble with King's dishonest fighting style (punching him off guard, throwing him off the island) and Enma draining his Haki.

Wano Sanji was already on equal grounds with Queen. Ifrit Jambe Sanji had no trouble to beat him.

@Httpedrokkk King dishonest fighting style played apart as well,but King was shown easily overpowering Zoro with brute strength in chapters 1027 and 1032.

Sanji was never on equal grounds with Queen. Sanji had to catch him off guard,land multiple fast blows,and then send Queen flying into multiple walls just to win.

This is how I see it:
