The M3 dynamic seems to have shifted since the time skip. Luffy (unsurprisingly) and zoro have been given more impressive feats than our favourite pervy cook. I was hoping the confrontation with big moms crew would give sanji a platform to shine and show he has also improved spectacularly over the time skip. For what it's worth I think pre ts sanji = zoro but I can't say the same post because zoro has done some amazing badass things while sanji has been running around getting nosebleeds.
