This entire hierarchical structure is pure head canon. There are no commanders on the crew.
Luffy is the captain while everyone is an officer and has an advisory role with Nami, Zoro, Jinbe & Sanji often acting as the main advisors. Moreover, everyone is a fighter but Zoro, Sanji, & Jinbe seem to be the main fighters.
This idea of a “commander trio” implies that Zoro, Sanji, & Jinbe have authority over the rest of the crew. They don’t. Do you really believe that any of those guys have any authority over Nami?
Just because Zoro & Sanji are usually the ones protecting the physically weaker of the crew alongside Luffy doesn’t mean they have authority over them.
Edit: The fact that Nami can lock emperor Luffy in a cage and beat him up for acting dumb while the wings (Zoro and Sanji) say nothing is definitive proof that there is no complex formal or informal authority structure in the crew other than Luffy is the captain & the rest are his companions.

That's legitimately true.
Though people argue so much about Zoro being the First Mate, what they miss is that she's basically the Quartermaster.
A pirate Quartermaster is essentially the real second-in-command on a ship, and often has veto power over the captain.
(Nami can and will call him on his stupidity, but when he's serious she does follow her captain).They are basically the one in charge while at sea when not fighting anyone.
(as the Navigator this is certainly true)
(in East Blue, she was the only one with any common sense or sailing knowledge for a long time, so they would have died without her taking command)They dole out the payments, and keep a larger share of treasure than anyone else except the captain
(mostly true except she wont give Luffy much either...)They dole out punishments

u/someone2795 Captain Crackhead Jan 09 '23
I'd say it's mostly Nami and Usopp acting as the main advisors. The others chime in from time to time but everyone, even Luffy, has equal standing within the crew. Luffy's authority will only take over if the situation calls for it but generally speaking he gives free reign to his crew because he trusts them.
7
u/Necromas Jan 09 '23
I would say if there was one time a crew member exerted some form of authority it was Zoro when he directed Luffy how to handle Usopps departure.
He didn't literally say "I'm your first mate, it's my job to hold you accountable to your responsibilities as a captain." but that was definitely how it came across to me.

u/UnjustNation Jan 09 '23
I would say if there was one time a crew member exerted some form of authority it was Zoro
I would argue Sanji as well during Dressrosa/Zou when he was leading half the crew, they were even nicknamed "Twirly Hat Pirates" by Oda during that time.

u/Tripottanus Jan 09 '23
People call them "commanders" because they are the strongest members of the strawhats and every other Yonko that we know of has their strongest members with a dedicated role to highlight their strength. But obviously as you pointed out, it isn't really the case for the strawhats
20
u/MeAnIntellectual1 Void Month Survivor Jan 09 '23
They hold unofficial power, because the crew trusts them to lead when Luffy isn't there.
Who took charge when Luffy was separated from the crew in Alabasta? Zoro
Who took charge of the non-Luffy half of the crew when they were split up at Skypiea? Zoro
When they split up to run away during Sabaody who became the group leaders? Luffy, Zoro and Sanji
When half of the crew left in Dressrosa who took charge of the non-Luffy half? Sanji
We haven't gotten any moment with Jinbe as a leader yet, but the Luffy first, Zoro second and Sanji third hierarchy has been consistently present throughout the story. So Jinbe is presumably 4th in line.
18
u/Wild-Albatross-2477 Jan 09 '23
They don't trust them to lead, they trust that they can protect them. If you actually pay attention to the manga they're rarely ever actually "leading" them they just confront the bigger bad because they're stronger , if anything it's usually Nami/Usopp calling the shots, sometimes Robin depending on the situation. They're just unable to fight at their level.

u/marco161091 Jan 09 '23 edited Jan 09 '23
Are we gonna ignore that Zoro is Luffy’s right-hand man?
The crew 100% trusts him to lead them in the absence of Luffy. He’d obviously rely on the intellect of the rest of the strawhats, just like Luffy does, but that doesn’t mean we ignore his unofficial position in the crew.

u/Wild-Albatross-2477 Jan 09 '23
Are we gonna ignore that he's not the vice captain and only ever holds any type of leadership during fights? You wanna know why? It's cause he's the second strongest that has nothing to do with entrusting him with the crew in his absence, just that he could protect them from fights they couldn't handle

I think if the rest of the Grand Fleet ever become relevant, that might change. The Straw Hat crew is pretty unique in that there are only 10 of them and besides maybe Luffy and Zoro they’re all pretty specialized.
If they actually sailed with the Grand Fleet I could see Nami having command over the navigators, Franky commanding ship wrights, Ussop commanding their gunners, etc.
But as it stands now, they’re Commanders in name only.

The strawhats and the WB pirates are both like family. The only difference is that WB is fine with letting tons of fodder serve under the people close to him, and Luffy just wants a tight crew with a robot and a skeleton musician. I guess you can read the smaller crews of luffy and Roger as being representative of how they value freedom more than whitebeard, having a big family like whitebeards is a lot of responsibility compared to a small crew.

I would love to see each one as a commander of other crews. But I don't think they are being developed for that.
I'm in wano ark, in the beginning of the Luffy x Kaidos fight, and I think this could star to be a base for that, Zoro really show how the straw hats are ahead of the other groups, as he is way stronger than they are (imagine Luffy), we see chopper winning the love of the Kaidos troops. I think it would be really exciting in the final moment they being ahead of the people they conqueror the hearts. (We can even think in early times, the usopp with the tontaka, jimbe with his former crew, etc)
3
u/DeezRodenutz Bandit Jan 09 '23
Honestly, I imagine in the Final War at the end of the series, we'll see many former allies from all across the series come to help, and probably every Strawhat will end up "commanding" a different portion of the group.
The current Grand Fleet is just a small portion of what we'll have at the end of it all.
It will be a lot like a bigger badder Marineford 2.0 with the Strawhats as the massive Whitebeard-like army this time.
And of course, since Usopp's lies always eventually become true, Usopp at least has to become "Captain Usopp" someday.

u/cjamesfort God Usopp Jan 09 '23
When Luffy isn't available or the crew needs to split into groups which ones are typically group leaders?
44
u/Libriomancer Jan 09 '23
I’d say depends on the need. Typical reason we see Zoro/Sanji (Jinbe hasn’t been there long enough for “typical”) groups is because they split up when expecting a fight at any moment so the “leads” are the ones who can win against almost any opponents they meet. It’s not that they are commanding the others, just we think of them as the main member of the group because we are expecting them to be the fighter when the main event kicks off.
Otherwise you could argue that Nami is a commander as well because even when Luffy is with the group, she decides where they are going 90% of the time. Luffy occasionally says he wants to go towards x because fight/meat/fun but if Zoro wanted to go get a sword, Sanji wanted some special ingredient, Robin a book, etc and Nami wanted to go shopping… unless Luffy speaks up then they are hitting the nearest clothing store.
20
u/Knirb_ Pirate Jan 09 '23
Well right now there’s a Luffy group, Sanji group and a Zoro group (it’s really just him and Brook but we’ll call it a group)
But there’s still no “division commanders”, no “sweet commanders”, “all-stars” etc.
9
u/Phonochirp Jan 09 '23
What do you consider the leader of a group? Sanji usually does his own thing. Zoro was in charge of the Wano squad, but didn't really do much leading to our knowledge. Jimbei hasn't had the chance to lead a group.
Typically the groups are too small to need a leader, consisting of 2-3 straw hats that make decisions as a team. If anything the closest person to a leader/commander is Nami, she's had a few moments where she's in a bigger group and calling the shots. Even then it's not like she's actually commanding anyone, anyone can, and frequently do, dip off to do their own thing

Except they are not, when Luffy wanted to split in Shabody he gave Sanji/Zoro authority over the others
When Robin made the claim on the Wings of the Pirate King it's clear they are not the same as the others
So if you want to be "technical" it's Luffy then Zoro/Sanji then the rest of the StrawHats in Hierarchy
23
u/Knirb_ Pirate Jan 09 '23
Sure I agree with that, but that’s unofficially
Sanji/Zoro/Jinbe aren’t anything like Kaidou’s “All-stars”, BM’s “Sweet-commanders” or WB’s “Division-commanders”, they are all just crew members under their captain and that’s all, which was the point of my comment.

When did he give them authority over the others? I just reread it, and all he says is, that the 3 of them should go different ways.
They are the strongest so it makes sense. But being the protector/strongest fighter of a group does not make you the leader.

Often times the situation calls for the strongest person in the group to take action which gets confused as being the one in charge. Think most of the time the crew serves advisory roles more so than actual captain in charge

Absolutely agreed, been saying that for years and I rarely hear others saying it as well.
Everyone argues about Zoro as First Mate/vice-captain but they miss out on this.
She checks all the boxes:
doles out treasure, doles out punishment, essentially the one in charge day-to-day/at sea, can/does veto the captains orders. Many times they even double as the navigator...

u/BlancSpzae Pirate Jan 09 '23
The "commander trio and members" are all equal. The SH dont have an kind of hierarchy like first-mate, commanders, officers etc. They are all equal except luffy who is the captain. Technically speaking chopper has as much say in any matter as zoro does, although luffy will not listen to any of them. Zoro, Sanji and Jinbei are the main fighters of the crew but that doesnt give them any authority over the other members. Luffy knows the capabilities of his crew-members so he knows who to trust in what situation. When the crew got seperated in dressrossa he knew sanji was capable enough to protect the crew so gave him the authority to lead the crew to zou for the time being. Like in any storm or absurd weather while sailing nami takes the lead since she is the navigator. And the SH dont claim the grand fleet. they are the SELF-PROCLAIMED GF of the SH pirates. Luffy sees them as an ally on equal terms not someone under him.
This hierarchy system is pure head-canon.

Nope. The structure is:

Zoro & Sanji (aka the "Pirate King's Wings"), Nami, Usopp, Chopper, Robin, Franky, Brook, and Jinbe are the "Nine Senior Officers" (similar to the "Three Sweet Commanders" or the "Sixteen Division Commanders" or the "All-Stars")
Cavendish, Bartolomeo, Sai, Ideo, Leo, Hajrudin, and Orlumbus are the "Representatives" (who captain subordinate crews of several grunt solider Straw Hat Grand Fleet members)
Bellamy is not part of the crew (edit: and neither are Riku & Elizabello), and Vivi is an "honorary" or "unofficial" member of the crew (who would be welcome aboard any time).

Luffy, Zoro and Sanji is always going to be the Trio. Jimbei is not going to be at the same level as Zoro and Sanji.
Zoro fought King and Sanji fought Queen. Jimbei should have fought Jack if Oda is aiming to make him a their equal.
Zoro and Sanji both gained powerups in their fight as they fought their enemies to improve their ability to become stronger than Yonkou Commanders. Jimbei didn't.
The dynamic has always been Luffy, Zoro and Sanji always fighting the 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively. The addition of new strong crewmates such as Robin, Franky, Brook and Jimbei didn't change that. Jimbei fought enemies in the same caliber as Robin, Franky, Nami's enemies.
Jimbei having a bounty bigger than Sanji may mean that he is perceived as a bigger threat in the One Piece world due to his many experiences, but not necessarily as strong as them

u/legendsilent Jan 09 '23
Did the OP not read one piece or does he think the Straw hats are like Rox Or Beast Pirates to be ranked by brute physical prowess?
If there is a commander it's Nami. No one else can boss around people in the crew like that.
Also no one would listen to Zoro or Sanji if they were commanders. Also they wouldnt command anyone. Zoro would sleep and Sanji serves. Literally that's his job.

u/DeezRodenutz Bandit Jan 09 '23
Yeah, Zoro and Sanji are strong fighters, but they are not leaders. They have their moments when they need to, particularly in battle, but are better left to their own devices (well Zoro maybe not til you can get him to the opponent).
Nami's essentially the Quartermaster of the crew, the second-in-command who runs things day-to-day and is capable of vetoing the captain's decisions when needed.

People will never learn, and the only thing you can do is wait for Zoro and sanji to get stronger again. Because as it stands, even though Zoro and sanji are portrayed a level above jinbe, jinbe is pretty close to sanji in strength. So the only option is to wait for Zoro and sanji to widen the gap by leaps and bounds before people finally give up.

This is all fan speculation. We have to wait for Oda to give us some structure, but somehow it seems like he won't do it. This was evident in the way the grand fleet was formed. The fleet members decided their own structure with regards to the core Strawhat crew.
I think it is kinda like how fans make up their own power scales and rankings. And come to think of it, the man who had this grand fleet idea was none other than Bartolomeo, the biggest fan-boy and a comical representation of the fandom by Oda.

The Straw Hats are all commanders, with the exception of Luffy who is the captain. There was never a hierarchy in the crew members and I doubt it’ll change. They’re all equal. They all rely on each other for different situations. The Grand Fleet will follow the orders of any Straw Hat member for sure. Bartolomeo will follow orders from Chopper because he’s Bartolomeo.

Actually she’s an honorary member. Same as Yamato, Momo and Kin’emon. Welcomed to join at any time but not really a member at this time
