While Zoro and Sanji are strong, they are still not on Hancock's level. Sanji will be an easy win for Hancock. Zoro also goes down easily with Hancock's Hax Devil FruitAlso his superior hockey. As Shaky single-handedly defeats Roger Pirates, Hancock will demolish the duo.

Loki hasn't seen all that pan out yet, but one thing is clear: he's on a whole different level than Zoro and Sanji at the moment.

After the events of Lord Valley, he founded the Freedom Fighters to fight the World Government. To see his goals come to fruition, Dragon needs to be one of the strongest characters, which he most certainly is.
personally, Zoro and Sanji probably couldn't beat Sabo at this point, let alone a character like a dragonwhich Oda keeps hidden until the last part of the final saga.

Rayleigh and Gaban are hockey masters who can even bypass immortality and go toe-to-toe with Yonko and Admirals.Even past his prime. Zoro and Sanji have to overcome them, but they are not at that level yet.

Mihawk's skill with the sword, as well as his Haki, is far superior to what Sanji and Zoro currently possess. Eventually, both will go over him.

Devil Fruit: Hito Hito No Me, Model: Nika
-
Hockey: Weapons, Observations, Winners
Monkey D. Luffy is the leader of the Straw Hat Pirates. As such, it is not surprising to see He is stronger than both Zoro and Sanji. Luffy could very well defeat the two together, and the power gap only increased after Wano.
A piece: 32 strong swordsmen, ranked
Considering its swashbuckling setting, it's not surprising that talented sword fighters fill the piece. There are many strong ones here.
Eventually, the power gap between them will narrow, as was the case with Roger and his two wings. However, it will not disappear completely. Luffy will always be the strongest pirate in the Straw Hats.
