Ranking the Straw Hats

[ahill1]

I'll rank them from strongest to weakest. Tell me whether you agree ot not.

1 - Luffy
2 - Zoro
3 - Sanji
4 - Franky
5 - Robin
6 - Brook
7 - Chopper
8 - Usopp
9 - Nami

Things might change with Jimbei though... he might occupy the 4th position now, with Franky being the 5th, Robin the 6th and so on...

 

[Fantastische Hure]

I'd switch Robin with Franky, but other than that top.

 

[SSJ2]

Luffy
Zoro
Sanji
Jimbei
Franky

Then I'm not sure. I think Usopp could become higher if his Observation Haki keeps improving. Being able to attack from such distances as what he did against Sugar is very overpowered.

 

[ahill1]

The weakest ones should be Nami, Usopp and Chopper, as Usopp said something along the lines of no longer belonging to the weakest team with Nami and Chopper after the Time Skip... that's why I went with Brook >> Chopper. Chopper's monster form (that which he had no control over) should be above Brook though imo.

 

[SSJ2]

In pure power you're correct. I think Usopp is more useful in battle, though.

 

[ahill1]

There was a rumor that Usopp would end up the third strongest of the crew eventually surpassing Sanji due to his role as a warrior. Might be just Bull though.

I don't see that happening. Usopp is supposed to be someone more realistic. That would kill the point.

 

[SSJ2]

There aren't realistic fighters on the Pirate King's crew though. I think he turns into a powerhouse like his father.

 

[ahill1]

Yeah, he even said back at Water 7 he isn't a monster like the rest of the Straw Hats (well, Nami isn't exactly one either) and that he couldn't hope in following their strength or something like this. In Ennies Lobby, upon being saved by Sanji this latter said that everyone has his limits in response to Usopp apologizing. With this, I think Usopp, whilst still having a wide room to improve, just doesn't have the inborn talen Zoro or Sanji possess.

I heard that Eiichiro Oda's idea of Usopp was that he was more realistic or so he said besides his insane durability that probably can't be found in the real world.

 

[SSJ2]

Y'all are underestimating what a sniper can do. Shanks crew has at least 2 of them.

 

[ahill1]

I hate snipers tbh... fighting with a long range weapon like this is just cheating...

So Mihawk is a cheater too? Nothing is fair in battle, especially pirates lol

Spoken like a true Crocodile.

 

[SSJ2]

I used to be a pirate

 

[ahill1]

True, in the world of pirate nothing should be unfair (except tackling from behind, for whatever reason).

 

[Pocket-God]

Because tackling from behind would make them Butt Pirates

On topic, I agree with your list, but the middle three are interchangeable imo.

 

[Captain Cadaver]

If including Monster Point, I'd place Chopper above Brook and Robin, as well as possibly above Franky without the Franky Shogun. Brook I'd also place above Robin due to his feats against the Dragon. If we're including weapons, then I'd say the power of Nami's Clima Tact should place her above Usopp to fulfill the status-quo of Usopp being the weakest member, which Oda said he wanted to keep consistent. Rest looks good though.
