It is no surprise for the fans to know that the Monster Trio has always been active in One Piece. Right from the moment that it was established that this group was incredibly strong, Oda has made sure to highlight them in every arc in ways where it was evident that they are the three strongest individuals in the Strawhat Pirates, and that they have a special competition of sorts between themselves.

The Monster Trio has always been special, and they have always had special responsibilities thrust on their shoulders.

For those fans who do not remember, the Monster Trio was active in the Arabasta Arc as well. When Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji, along with all the other members of the Straw Hats, were traveling through the deserts of Arabasta, they encountered a Sandora Dragon. This Sandora Dragon was incredibly powerful, and while the vast majority of the Strawhat Pirates were not equipped to deal with this threat, these three monstrously powerful individuals saw to it that this threat was dealt with, and later, cooked as well. When the Sandora Dragon approached, all three of them utilized powerful attacks. Luffy utilized an attack called Gum Gum Whip, while Zoro used his Dragon Twister. Meanwhile, Sanji utilized his Epaule Strike. The Straw Hat Pirates then proceeded to cook and eat the beats.

Of course, there was a comedic element attached to this moment. But, more than that, it was a moment that Oda took to highlight the fact that the Monster Trio are formidable and, at the same time, competent, with the ability to lead at every passing step.

Much to the surprise of the fans, Oda recreated the moment from chapter 162 of One Piece here, having Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji utilize the very same techniques that they did back then. This time around, their techniques were stronger than ever before, and, of course, fans know that they are now incredibly infamous. Luffy has become a Yonko, and the other two are among the strongest pirates in the entire world

As far as the attacks they utilized go, Luffy used what appears to be a Gear Third Gum Gum Elephant Whip, while Zoro utilized a powerful Black Rope Dragon Twister. Sanji, being the most upset by the fact that the cat was going for the kill against Nami, tapped into Ifrit Jambe, and utilized the newer version of Epaule Strike. All these attacks combined together to deliver a lethal blow to the giant cat from Elbaf, which had now turned into a lion at this point. This lion was taken down, and fans then got a glorious final of the Monster Trio in the new outfits, looking for a bigger force to fight and causing more trouble in Elbaf.
