![]() ![]() The minotaur can punch hard enough to kill Sea Kings with ease, pulverize reinforced rock (or whatever is Impel Down made of), and with Iron spiked clubs.But, again, Rule of Funny is in full swing here. It was deadly for the non-Logia, non-rubber people in the group, or at least should have been even when hitting the water. The Minotaur isn't that strong and Ivankov can't push with that much force. Rule of Funny, and falling from that height means anything you hit will be like hitting concrete at the fastest possible speed.How is a normal fall from 2 miles tall (which means they would only fall at a certain speed) or the very fights against Marine Ford would be more harmful than that? 3 were punched by a two-ton superstrong beast. Why were Luffy and his merry band afraid of the fall in Marine Ford, screaming they were going to die? Luffy had been thrown away from farther away (the bird that almost swallowed him) by an explosion, Crocodile was punched through half a mile of freaking rock, Ivankov propulsed himself with 5 times more force than that when he escaped from Impel Down and both Buggy and Mr.Besides, how the hell else do you explain him having Haki?.In reality, he is a crucial member of the crew. ![]() Nowadays, he's only technically the weakest because he doesn't really focus on one field, (aside from sniping), but now he's more on the Jack of All Trades, Lacking in None instead of Master of None. While those are Sanji, Robin, and Franky's fields respectively, Usopp is the only one who's nearby when people need help. Usopp himself specializes in sniping but when he isn't doing that, he's a tactical technique fighter who always has a few tricks up his sleeves. All of the other Straw Hats specialize in a certain area in terms of combat. Here's a good reason: Oda needs a well-balanced character.Her weapon's actually pretty nasty when you think about it (whistling up thunderbolts on command? The last guy who could do that pretty much owned everyone in the crew not made of rubber), but her physical stats are probably closer to a real-world human than Usopp's are. Nami seems to largely be a Glass Cannon in relation to the other crew members, even Usopp.Doylist Reason: Eiichiro Oda wanted Usopp to be The Everyman, no matter who joins the crew, Usopp is going to represent the reader.Frankly, going by combat prowess alone Usopp is probably somewhere in the middle of the crew, but his rampant cowardliness makes him weaker overall. Usopp probably has more physical strength than Nami, but the overall "value" of his personality, weapon, and skills is less than hers. When we discuss who is the weakest among the crew, it's not an evaluation of who can bench press more.Nami can just whack you on the head with the clima tact if the situation needs it. It's all mostly stuff exploding all over, and if he targets someone too close to himself he can hurt himself too. Also, most of his attacks are only good at long distances.Usopp is still, and likely always will be, the Straw Hat most likely to panic at a given threat. Nami is mainly stronger than Usopp because he's a wuss, even post Time Skip. Usopp is weaker than Chopper, but did a lot better in his fight against Luffy than Chopper likely would have through skill and tactics. When discussing the crew's strength, it's important to remember that strength=/=combat prowess.How is Nami stronger than Usopp? Sure her weapon is certainly better, but it seems that Usopp is obviously stronger. ![]()
