Or the Pirate Kings crew can get off their fucking asses and start stepping up.
you would hope so right? like lets see currently as far as straw hats becoming stronger we have...
>chopper who looks to be getting some type of boost or something involving his devil fruit maybe?
>franky has the vegacola now which supposedly makes him as strong as/stronger than a pacifista
>brook might get something after the princess shuri/gunko stuff is done though he is also already decently strong
>jinbei is also plenty strong he just does not get much attention
>robin should be way stronger and has shown she has promise given how she beat black maria so she might get a boost maybe especially now with how shes dealing with ohara 3 at this point.
>usopp while not physically strong just needs to unlock his observation haki more and he should be good enough.
>nami is strange because everything she has that makes her a threat is stuff she got or stole from other people. which i guess makes sense if shes a cat burglar but it is weird she does not have haki of some kind
the monster trio is fine as well. so overall its not like everyone other than the monster trio is totally useless they just need their final power ups and maybe oda can find a way to weasel in some type of mass power up so that we can go back to fights being less about how strong you are and more about how you deal with a devil fruit user and the uniqueness of their particular fruit ability.
