One Piecechapter 1149 dropped recently, and it goes without saying that it gave the fans some of the most exciting developments in Elbaf. A lot of what’s happening in Elbaf revolvesaround the Straw Hat Pirates, and understandably so. Currently, they’re up against the Holy Knights, whose goal is to subjugate Elbaf and make Giant slaves for their army.
The Holy Knights are quite strong, which is why nothing short of the best of the Straw Hat Pirates is required to defeat them. Naturally, whenever high-level battles come into play, Oda always focuses on Zoro and Sanji, two of the strongest in the Straw Hat Pirates. Once again, Oda has highlighted them subtly inOne Piecechapter 1149, confirming who is stronger between the two once and forever.
Zoro And Sanji’s Rivalry In One Piece
Fans know Zoro and Sanji to be quite powerful, and together, they are Luffy’s strongest underlings. Zoro and Sanji are the two Wings of the Pirate King, without whom Luffy cannot soar. It goes without saying that both of them need to be exceptionally powerful, because otherwise, the crew cannot compete with the strongest of fighters. Both Zoro and Sanji get stronger with each passing arc, but more than that, they often push each other to newer heights.Zoro and Sanji have always been in competitionwith each other to see who’s stronger.

Fans of these characters are often very similar. They often argue over who the stronger one is, with some believing Zoro to be stronger,while others think it is Sanji. However, Oda has already revealed the answer to this question on many occasions. WithOne Piecechapter 1149, Oda has once again highlighted this topic and given fans an answer once and for all. Zoro and Sanji are and will always be equal.

Zoro And Sanji Parallel Rayleigh And Gaban
It is no surprise to know that Zoro and Sanjiare parallels to Rayleigh and Scopper Gaban. At the beginning of Elbaf, Oda introduced Gaban to the fans, and he clearly stated that in the Roger Pirates, three were specifically known to be very powerful, and they were Roger, Rayleigh, and Gaban. Oda then went on to highlight the fact that Gaban himself was on par with Roger and Rayleigh, meaning all three were on the same tier of strength. Oda also specifically stated that Gaban rivaled Silvers Rayleigh as well.

InOne Piecechapter 1149, Oda once again reiterated this through Jinbe. According to Jinbe,the Mountain Eater, Scopper Gabanis equal to Rayleigh. This is just Oda showing the past versions of Zoro and Sanji to the fans, and confirming how strong they will be. In other words, Zoro and Sanji will be equal in terms of power come the end of One Piece. More than that, Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro will be in the same tier of strength, making them some of the strongest in the world of One Piece.
