Luffy is on a whole other level
It goes without saying that the Monster Trio is incredibly powerful in One Piece. Over the years, they have shown tremendous growth, and within the Straw Hat Pirates, they are the characters that have gotten into the most fights. Luffy, who is the main character of the series, has always been involved in fights of one kind or another, and he always uses them to better himself. Luffy has improved his use of the Devil Fruit dramatically, even mastering all three types of Haki, as well as their advanced levels. Most recently, Luffy even went on to awaken his Devil Fruit, and all of these powers combined are great enough to see Luffy become a Yonko of the Sea and take on as well as defeat powerful individuals like Kaido.

As for Zoro, fans know he's learned a lot over the years. Zoro is incredibly powerful and his sword skills are mesmerizing to say the least. Zoro has his powerful three sword style, and on top of that he has mastered all three types of Haki, with advanced control over Conqueror's Haki. Undoubtedly, with all these powers, Zoro is almost unstoppable in battle.
Meanwhile, Sanji, the chef of the Straw Hat Pirates, has also been raised considerably over the years. While Sanji once struggled to take on and defeat powerful foes like Doflamingo, he can now make quick work of them, all thanks to the power he gained in the Wano Country Arc. Driven by his emotions, Sanji possesses immense abilities, such as his own phenomenal strength in melee combat, and scientific powers at the same time. Overall, Sanji is a phenomenally powerful individual, and he completes the Monster Trio with his incredible strength and sharp intellect.
The challenges for the Monster Trio to face
The monster trio can still grow stronger in the final saga
As it stands, the Monster Trio makes for a very powerful group. Luffy is already Yonko level, while Zoro is stronger than the vast majority of Yonko First Mates. Sanji is also up there, and fans know that these three together are an unstoppable force. That said, none of them have reached their peak as fighters, which means they will achieve great things in the future by participating in massive battles.
In the Elbaf Arc of One Piece, fans will most likely see the Monster Trio engage in massive battles. Oda has actually already teased the Monster Trio as having a very important role in this part of the story, and once he gets the chance to illustrate it properly, he'll grab it with both hands. Here, Luffy, Zoro and Sanji will perfectly strengthen themselves in different ways. While Luffy will want to improve the effectiveness of Gear 5, Zoro will improve the time limit of the King of Style. Meanwhile, Sanji still has his scientific powers to explore, as well as improve his Haki.

It can be said that the Monster Trio will definitely encounter major threats in the finals that they will have to defeat. For Luffy, characters like Loki can end up as massive thorns, and at the same time, individuals like Shanks will also be quite troublesome opponents. Zoro and Sanji are able to defeat their respective enemies, such as members of the Red Hair Pirates.

One Piece: Oda finally answers a big mystery about Shanks after 6 years
Shank's secret is finally revealed by Oda. Shank's family will be a major plot point in One Piece.
Fans know that they are so powerful that they will not back down from any challenge, and considering that it takes courage to make Luffy the Pirate King, they will always step up. Whenever Luffy is in danger, these powerful individuals will protect him.
How strong will the end of the show's monster trio be?
By the end of the series, the trio of monsters will be Yonko level
It is quite clear for the fans to see that the Monster Trio will be incredibly involved in the wars of the Final Saga and that they will get their chance to participate in massive battles. Luffy has to fight against other Yonko, such as the leader of the Blackbeard Pirates, Teach and many other powerful individuals as well. Meanwhile, Zoro must take down Mihawk, who fans know is on par with the Emperors themselves. Sanji may not have a clear opponent in front of him, but he is always up there with Luffy and Zoro and has already fought against even the Admirals in the Final Saga. From here on out, the challenges will only get tougher for Sanji and the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates, which only shows that their overall strength will greatly improve.
Watching Roger Pirates, fans know that Rayleigh was an Emperor-level pirate himself, and Roger took first place, and rightfully so. Fans will likely see a similar case play out with the Straw Hat Pirates. Luffy will surpass all the emperors and potentially even Roger and Whitebeard. He will reach levels similar to Joyboys, and maybe even surpass him. At the same time, Zoro and Sanji will reach a high level, surpassing all the vice-captains in the One Piece world and get on the same level as the Yonko themselves. The Straw Hat Pirates still have to outmatch all the other crews, and it's only natural that their total strength is far greater than anyone else who would dare challenge them.
For now, the crew is still in Elbaf and it will be a long time before they leave this island. But when they do, they will be stronger than ever before and possibly even ready to take on world government in the final battle.
