This is Osamu Manga! This time, we bring you the "Straw Hat Crew's Strongest Battle Ranking," which is especially popular among One Piece fans. All members of the Straw Hat Crew are unique and have outstanding strengths, but the rivalry between Zoro and Sanji is particularly heated. Although the two are constantly arguing, they respect each other's strengths. You can't miss the battle scenes where they clash!
So let's get started! Here is Osamu Manga's ranking of "Internal Battles of the Straw Hat Crew"!
5th place: **"An argument at Whiskey Peak leads to a serious battle!" ~Whiskey Peak Edition~
This is the first time Zoro and Sanji clashed head on. At Whiskey Peak, their stubbornness escalates and develops into a pointless fight. In reality, both of them were there out of concern for Vivi, but their inability to express this honestly caused them to get into a fight. They end up fighting in earnest, but Vivi suddenly appears and stops them! The pointlessly heated battle between the two is a memorable scene that will make fans laugh and get excited.
Osamu Manga Battle Analysis: Although this battle is not yet a "serious clash," it clearly shows how the two men's strengths and personalities collide. It's an interesting scene where Zoro's calmness as a swordsman and Sanji's passionate spirit as a chef intersect.
4th place: **"A contest of wills at Enies Lobby!" ~Enies Lobby Edition~
A quiet spark flares up between Zoro and Sanji when they rush into Enies Lobby to rescue Robin. The two show subtle competition in the timing of when to use their respective techniques against the enemy. In particular, when Sanji is provoked by Jabra (CP9) and goes to help Zoro, Sanji's technique "Diable Jambe" and Zoro's new technique "Asura" are displayed almost simultaneously, which is a moment that symbolizes the strength of the two. It's interesting to see how they acknowledge each other's strength, yet think "I'm better."
Osamu Manga Battle Analysis: This battle is not a direct fight, but the contest of strength and skill is very interesting! Zoro and Sanji each fulfill their own roles, but they unconsciously think "I'm the best," which is the essence of this rivalry.
3rd Place: **"Sanji vs. Zoro, the Coalition Battle of the Monster Trio" ~Thriller Bark Arc~
At Thriller Bark, Zoro and Sanji show off their excellent teamwork as the Straw Hats take on the zombie army. In the battle against Oars, the monster trio (Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji) team up to fight, showing their power relationship, but also showing Zoro and Sanji fighting together despite complaining about each other during the battle. Even though they may seem to hate each other, they actually work better together than anyone else. The combination of Zoro's slash and Sanji's kick is a sight to behold.
Analysis of the battle in the Osamu manga: The two of them bicker even during the fight, which is comical, but at the same time, Zoro's swordsmanship and Sanji's fighting skills work together to overwhelm the enemy. Even though they complain, you can feel their trust in each other's abilities, making this a battle with an exquisite balance!
2nd place: **"Angry Alliance in Dressrosa" ~Dressrosa Arc~
In the Dressrosa arc, their combination shines in the scenes where Zoro and Sanji face off against the enemy in a fierce battle. In particular, there is a scene where Sanji challenges Doflamingo's army while Zoro is engaged in a fierce battle with Pica. Zoro's sword technique in cutting the rock giant Pica in half was a display of overwhelming strength, but the scene where Sanji challenges Doflamingo's executives is filled with tension as it shows "who is stronger." Although the two fight in different ways, it is a sight to see each of them unleash their best techniques and overwhelm their opponents!
Battle analysis from Osamu's manga: Here, the powers of the two are displayed brilliantly. Zoro's swordsmanship is powerful, while Sanji's kicking is supple and fast. Their fighting styles are contrasting, yet their influence on the enemy is equal. You can see how they are silently competing with each other, saying "I'm better."
1st place: **"Clash! The Shandia Match!" ~Sky Island~
And the honorable first place goes to the decisive clash between Zoro and Sanji in the Sky Island arc! The two try to cooperate in order to defeat the god Enel, but once again a trivial argument leads to a serious battle. Of particular note is the scene where Zoro's "three-sword style" clashes with Sanji's "kick technique." While both show off their strengths, neither backs down. In the end, the battle is stopped without a conclusion, but it is a great battle that clearly shows how evenly matched the two men's abilities are.
Osamu Manga Battle Analysis: This battle is the ultimate Zoro vs Sanji. Their prides collide and they fight with all their might, symbolizing the rivalry within the Straw Hat Crew. Although their abilities are comparable, it's interesting to see how neither of them is willing to give in and insist that they are the winner, and in the end, it's up to the reader to guess who is the better.
summary
Zoro and Sanji's battles are not just a contest of strength, but a fight between rivals who are aware of each other. They have different fighting styles and personalities, but that's exactly why they have the appeal to draw fans in whenever they clash. Their battle scenes are great because, while they also contain comedic elements, you can feel the deep trust and bond that lies at their core. I'm already looking forward to the next moment when the two of them engage in a serious battle!
