Yes, Nezumi was a captain and a weakling.
Wasn't Nezumi just a normal captain from the blues? Smoker was a captain from Navy HQ. Oda has said that guys from HQ are stronger than normal guys in the blues.

Brook may not have organs but his body IIRC still has the limitations it had when he was alive such as needing to eat, defecate, and relevant to this discussion: breathe. Remember that Brook can drown so I see no reason why inhalea poisons would affect him.
Just because he can eat, defecate and breathe doesn't mean that he NEEDS to. He lived 50 years in a ship and he didn't ate anything. Oda never said that he would breath, and Brook can't drown in fact, he just sink. We saw this a lot of times before, his inability to swim makes him sink, but he can stay hours and days and weeks and years under water without dying… because he's already dead, unlike Luffy and the others.
In last chapter, Brook is just lying on the floor but we can't know if he's asleep or awake or what. C'mon, we're talking about Brook, the skull joke guy xD wouldn't be a surprise if he suddenly say "Oh, wait, I can't breath this poison, I don't have lungs! Yohoho!"
now your expecting a lot of a goofy guy like oda, the guy who thinks blowing air into your bones will make them super strong
he's great when it comes to planning something out, world building, character development etc. but the little stuff like how big a character is, scars or science don't really go hand and hand with him, yes science and him have some issues
Even when One Piece has lots of crazy things, there's something in literature called (I don't know if I'm translating it properly :p) verisimilar. In a fairy tale no one would be surprised if there's a dragon, but if suddenly an UFO appears… there's something wrong. In One Piece everything has an explanation, there's nothing that just is, without a logical reason. We know why Brook can walk, but it's not logical that he would fall asleep with a sleeping gas when he doesn't have lungs or muscles or eyes xD

The SH crew defeated captain-rank marines by the dozens at the end of the CP9 arc (in a state of fatigue); I don't see how Tashigi can hope to compete with Zoro at all considering how little she has progressed. Hopefully Coby, Helmeppo, and Smoker (well, we can be certain of his strength) will present more exciting rivalries. Of course, it's possible that Tashigi's rank isn't an accurate representation of her strength (after all, Smoker was a captain while stationed at Loguetown). We'll find out soon enough
Rank can be used to guess how strong someone is but it does not mean that someone with a lower rank is weaker than someone with a higher rank e.g. Blackbeard having no bounty and being able to defeat people with a bounty with no effect,Smoker only having a captain rank in east blue but he would have been the strongest marine there at the time before Garp came back to it and the 7 warlords are not all the same power level as well even thou they have the same rank as each other.
