Base Luffy stomps, considering he's been shown to consistently be around Base Sanji's level, who should be far above Part 1 Gear 3rd Luffy due to only needing 1 Diable Jambe to beat a Pacifista and treat the android as little more than a nuisance. On top of that, G3 Luffy doesn't even have the speed or stamina to keep up with his Part 2 base self, making things even easier for Part 2 Rufi.

What feats does post-time-skip Sanji have?

- Treating a Pacifista as trash and breaking it's neck with one Diable Jambe.
- Seeming to do equally as well as Jimbei against Wadatsumi.
- Injuring Vergo somewhat with Diable Jambe, who was stronger than Smoker, who should be >> Base Luffy based on him being able to force Luffy into using Gear 2nd when in Tashigi's body.
- Clashing with Doflamingo momentarily in Dressrosa without getting his leg broke like against Vergo, implying he'd become stronger since then.

Couldn't this technically imply Sanji ~ Ace then?

Ace's fight with Jimbei was years before the main story. Considering his potential as a D and that this was long before he earned his position as a Yonko Commander, I'd say it's most likely that Ace improved drastically since then. Gear 2nd Luffy was also shown equal to Jimbei on Fishman Island, yet via scaling, Ace should be capable of stomping him via feats at Marineford.

Ace (Main Story) >> Jimbei ~ Ace (VS Jimbei)

He ate the backstage politic-no-mi

Nothing can stop his creative control!

But Ace fought Jimbei two years ago. Sure Jimbei should have improved between the fight with Ace and Marineford, let alone post Timeskip.

I think the difference is that Ace is a lot younger than Jimbei, and thus has a lot more room to improve.

That might be the case, but Jimbei has had an additional of two years of [maybe] training compared to Ace, which could have closed the gap Ace might have opened between them.

His feats in Part 2 have been fairly lacklustre, so I doubt he'd have improved at all since then. That, and Ace is a D, so his potential for growth would be far higher than Jimbei's anyway.
