Luffy has always been the best for me.

Usopp has his moments I just can't stand it when he's compulsively lying.

Luffy is the other acceptable answer.

I'm at Dressrosa in the anime, and currently, I'd disagree.

So far, Franky is more than fulfilling his promise to be a distraction, by luring out multiple big names to fight him. Meanwhile, Usopp is freaking out and letting little people do everything for him.

Usopp running away from the Tontattas while they were being attacked was inexcusable.

Does Franky end up unreliable later on or something? Because so far, while not a big name player like Luffy/Zoro/Sanji, the dude has done everything asked of him and then some, so I'm curious if there's a point where he definitely becomes "the worst."

Nah, that be luffy, brook, and franky. Especially brook and franky....these two mad lads just do not give a actual shit when it comes to taunting and attacking opponents above their weight class. Brook calling big mom young lady and saying something along the lines of "what kind of fool draws of a plan with the expectation of death?" and franky casually saving luffy and saying "ha ha, so our captain is wanted by you biggest bigshots in the world too? Thats good to know!" in one of the five elder's face is just.....peak straw hat fearless badassery.

I would say Frankys probably the fifth strongest Strawhat, but he has more consistency than Sanji. Franky usually gets a named opponent in most arcs, while Sanji kinda jobbed until Queen in Wano.

Usopps still my favorite, but he does have moments where he lapses back to his pre-character development self. He had a particularly bad moment in Dressrosa.

He mostly shows up. Punches exactly once above his weight class, and does nothing for the rest of the arc. He's in a group with Nami and Brook as filling this awkward space that Oda doesn't seem to know what to do with.

Anyways Usopp is the best and always has been.

Fuck no. Franky is usually one of the guys putting in work in any given arc. In wano arc he saved usopp and chopper by one-shotting a number, proceeded to one v one and win his battle against one of the enemy executive's, and still had enough in him to keep fighting mooks and save zoro after his battle with the enemy's right-hand guy. Before that he carried out all of his goals in dressrosa and during the pre-major battle wano set up with repairing as many ships as he can and getting a map of the enemy's headquarters.

Like I said before the most recent thing he did was save luffy's ass from a strike from one of the five elders who had some weird devil fruit ability that causes people to not move.

Even after his goofy ass messed around in chopper's body in punk hazard he still made it for it by casually beating the ass of two of doffy's people that came to try to wisk away ceasar clown.

Sorry for the spoiler tags, I had no idea what is still considered spoilers or not, since, like said, I'm just NOW watching the anime and only up to Dressrosa.

This basically goes along with what I felt. It feels like Franky, while not super impressive or getting like, super awesome moments, just seems incredibly consistent, so I'm not sure I could ever consider him the weakest Straw Hat.

I deleted the post, but the fact the person I quoted didn't use spoiler tags initially isn't on me. I don't know what's considered spoilers or not, so if somebody talks about something further without spoiler tags, I just assume it must not be a big/spoiler kind of event. Apologies, but that was kinda out of my hands.

I still haven't forgotten about how Usopp ran and ditched Chopper mid battle in Alabasta.

I also think it's really goofy for a self proclaimed "Sniper" like Usopp to always run nose first into hand to hand combat situations

Robin is

1. She isn't a coward like Nami, Usopp or Chopper
2. She has no stupid gimmick like Sanji, Franky, Zoro, Brook
3. She can actually fight pretty well so is strong
4. Despite being a fighter she still brings extreme utility value via reading Poneglyphs (zoro can only fight)
5. She is also hot like Nami

Only other strawhat like her is Jimbe

Fishman Island isn't that bad it's just kind of boring coming off the heels of the Summit War. It also gives Sanji too much screen time.

Luffy is the worst character all the others are gravitating around.

Started off as a generic protagonist jerk with infinite willpower, got fleshed out somewhat later and is currently the messiah.

Usopp is a frustrating character. He's such a bundle of contradictions.

He's gone from the most cowardly liar to the most courageous, back to cowardly again.
He's defeated some absolute monsters but still struggles with the most basic canon fodder.
He's somehow had the most character development and the least character development out of all the straw hats.

It's like oda wants him to grow as a character but still needs that silly comedy relief weakling around.

Just finished Dressrosa. He ran away because Nico Robin was turned into a toy and he forgot about her and therefore his motivation to become more brave. More nuance than I would have expected from Oda.

Usopp is one of the main reasons I no longer found the anime bearable to watch shortly after Chopper joined the crew.
