[Discussion] About the crew's strength.

[Skylar Knight]

How strong will the Strawhats really be near the end?

Close your eyes for five seconds and think of Whitebeard, the guy who, with his crew, invaded Marineford. That was a 72 year-old man with a bad heart, yet he could stand his ground before the admirals. Now think of the incredible strength he possessed during his prime. That strength was seconds behind the Pirate King's. Would it honestly be realistic for Luffy to compete with this?

He's a 19 year-old with far less experience than most, so just how strong will he actually become? Will he really be able to bring justice to his future title? Or does he have to borrow strength from someone or something?

 

[Ridoku X]

He will do both. He will both be super strong, but he will need some borrowed strength in the end to make it.
Ye know nakama power and shiz. Typical. v_v

After all he has stated it before. He needs his allies/crew.

In most mangas, the power-scaling gets increased gradually as the series progresses...

If that old WB were to appear right now in the manga, he'd mid diff. the whole SH crew at max...

Garp at prime could crush 8 mountains with a single punch, Chinjao would crack open a whole island with a head butt... These are SH's destinations, none can accomplish feats like these as of now...

The key word you used was will. Obviously he will become stronger. There has to be another time skip.
Look at how young Roger was when he first met Rayleigh then look at the crew when he became Pirate King.
Luffy shouldn't be a teenager by the time the crew get to Raftel. This is possible too since we have 10+ years of One Piece left.
This is why I don't get people saying Luffy is on the level of Doflamingo, this isn't f*cking Naruto where the teenagers get tons of power ups pulled out of their ass.

 

[Aømine]

Again a damn thread with "how strong will they be".
Some of you idiots should really try to know what OP is really about and not always the power and strength.
A lil tip, enjoy the story and the details Oda leaves in his masterpiece.

Luffy need to become New Pirate King and as main character he need to be the strongest, so he will need to surpass Gol D. Roger and Whitebeard.

Zoro need to surpass Mihawk and become Best Swordsman, he as de facto First Mate of SH Pirates need to surpass First Mate of Roger's crew, in order for SH to surpass RP. I estimate prime Silvers to be Yonko level, and Zoro should be around sam level by the end of series + I see Mihawk and Shanks around the same level, so I belive he will also surpass Shanks, who is one of the Yonkos.

Sanji, is third strongest in the crew, so by my estimation he should be at least Admiral Level if not stronger.

Nami is navigator and not really fighter. She will also got stronger in future, I just don't think that she necessary need to hit some level of power. Same with doctor (Chopper), Musician (Brook), archeologist (Robin) and shipwright (Franky).

The only problem I see is with Usopp. He is the sniper of SH and like one he is 'more fighter' than the names I named above, but he is one of the 3 weakest members. He need to become 'brave warrior of the see'? How will he become one? We yet have to see.

I would estimate that he could surpass his father, who seems to be very strong.

Usopp has to become even better Sniper than he already is and use CoO for better shots and CoA for powerful shots...

And Zoro has yet to unlock CoK, he should have it by the EOS...

the only one who is gonna be on WB/ROGER level is BB but in WB/ROGER era there were others who could take them on including garp and shiki.luffy dosn't need to supress rojer to to become PK.

Luffy will surpass Roger though.

I don't think BB will be dealt in the end, Luffy will just overcome BB to become PK or say he'd last face BB before completing his round of the globe...

Luffy will become more powerful than that after becoming PK[mostly because of the mountloads of allies he'd have by then] and go on to rage that imminent war on the WG...

 

[U mAd]

well i if luffy's gonna suppress rojer 1 piece will take another 10 years.cause flamingo<admirals<yanko<rojer<uffy(EOS) that'll take lots of years.luffy's currently on flamingo level at most.

Yeah,this. v_v

Well I hope at least.

 

[TycoonCat]

the crew will be so strong that Usopp could beat Whitebeard with one "Usopp Rubberband" in a 1v1 fight

What are your thoughts on the crew borrowing the strength from the Ancient Weapons, then, to reach Raftel? That in itself would be a power up, no? I believe many people would dislike such a thing, but I for one would like for that to happen, much more than another time skip.

 

[Dr Strangelove]

I swear you're one of the few in this section with common sense man xD

 

[silmarill]

They will most likely become admiral level fighters sooner than u think
I don't think another timeskip is going to happen
If Sabo who is 2 years older is already 'competing' with admirals then it's reasonable to think the main characters progression will be even faster, not to mention Luffy is from a bloodline of absolute monsters
Also this manga is still a shonen , so we won't have a 30 y old MC , he must still be appealing to a younger target audiance to

Yes, but 'sniper' in some way is also fighter. Which can't be said for Navigator, Musician, Shipwight, Doctor and Archeologist.

Hm, I know that CoK is one type of Haki, but I don't really understand to what people refer when they use these abbreviations. So to which one you refer, I suppose Matra (Color of Observation)??

 

[Wes Sine]

You said it yourself, he is only 19 years old and he is already such a thread to Navy and the WG, Luffy, he can;t yet enter marinford by himself cause he doesn;t have an army...yet.
