A couple questions

choperman

it's more of opinions than actual answers I'm looking for

question 1: with the new addition of powers Luffy has (gear 2nd and 3rd) how fast do you think he could beat up old enemies a few being

Buggy, Kuro, Don Krieg, Arlong, Crocodile, Eneru, and Foxy

question 2: what do you thinks the order of the strongest members with the straw hats

i would think Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Robin, Franky, Brook, Nami, Chopper, Usopp

question 3: who do you think, of the straw hats, has shown the most improvement I'd say either Zoro or Nami

tell me your opinions

question 1: with the new addition of powers Luffy has (gear 2nd and 3rd) how fast do you think he could beat up old enemies a few being

Buggy - Minute or two
Kuro - Few seconds.
Don Krieg - a time he needs to say "Gomu Gomu no"…
Arlong - around 5 or 10 minutes.
Crocodile - Never if he has no water
Eneru - He can't beat him, noone can.
Foxy - Probably fast if Foxy don't use Noro Noro beam against him.

question 2: what do you thinks the order of the strongest members with the straw hats- Luffy, Zoro, Robin, Franky, Sanji, Brook, Usopp, Chopper, Nami

question 3: who do you think, of the straw hats, has shown the most improvement - Zoro, Sanji and Luffy

i think you forgot that crocodile can be hit with blood to so luffy just needs to bleed on his hands a little

Brooke

little blood can't do anything, whan he fought Crocodile he was bleading alot

Gorlom

question 2:
-Robin
-Luffy Zoro and Sanji tied as second strongest
-Brook Franky and Chopper tied behind LuffyZoroSanji,
-Nami and Usopp tied for last.

(Robins power is friggin broken. if she ever gets serious she is far more dangerous then Luffy)

Q3: Usopp. his fight vs Luffy and the one against perona shows alot.

AWB

Question three isn't an easy one. You have to tell what improvement means in your context. It could mean anything!

question 1: with the new addition of powers Luffy has (gear 2nd and 3rd) how fast do you think he could beat up old enemies a few being

Buggy, Kuro, Don Krieg, Arlong, Crocodile, Eneru, and Foxy-Buggy=4 minutes,Kuro=1 minute,Don Krieg=1 minute,Arlong=3 seconds,Crocodile=10 minutes,Eneru=1 second(cause ruber beats lightning) Foxy=1 second

question 2: what do you thinks the order of the strongest members with the straw hats

i would think Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Robin, Franky, Brook, Nami, Chopper, Usopp

Luffy,Zoro,Sanji,Franky,Chopper,Robin,Brook,Nami,Ussop.

question 3: who do you think, of the straw hats, has shown the most improvement I'd say either Zoro or Nami.

I'd say Ussop. He is not that scared kid anymore,he is a tough warrior. Just look ar eneies loby,shure he didnt beat a CP9 member but he was wiling to put his life on the line for Robin.

@Gorlom:

Hmm, i guess people think too much of Robin's abilities. Seriously, she got her ass kicked by a legless, dwarf version of Sanji - and afterwards, we even saw how she was unable to catch Jigoroh, whose strength was higher than hers.
Every arc Luffy, Zoro and Sanji are more and more cemented as the "big three", but after them the ranking becomes very arguable.

Okay i know i started this post and maybe i should stop talking about diffrent subjects… but Brooke you said blood can't do anything so... since i like rereading one piece i looked it up

one piece 204 page 15

Luffy "blood can stop your sand to right"

i don't mean to pick on you i just wanted to prove i was right... okay and AWB when i said improved i meant in strength (not just brute strength more like there fighting ability with or without weapons) and i still think nami improved the most shown in buster call where she's a great asset to the team. but i can see where Gorlom and mdmartin101 are coming from with usopp but unfortunately Gorlom i have to agree with goty in robins body parts (that she sprouted get injured) so do her orginal ones... I think

oh yeah goty i like your avatar

Her power is broken, but so is her spirit. It's not that I overestimate her powers is that she doesn't use them properly. One Piece wouldn't be any good if she did, she needs to struggle just like the rest of the strawhats.

Compare those fights to almost breaking the neck of Moria. It's all about how she chooses to use her powers, not the limitations of them.

Technically she is definitely stronger then Zoro and Sanji. But for storytelling reasons she falls behind them in combat and got other areas where she shines (intelligence, archeology and knowledge about the Grand Line)
