[Question] Brook & Nami Strength Comparison?!

[Naruto D Luffy]

Ok, well I'm pretty sure we all know the typical OP SH ranking for strength and it goes like this on average

Luffy
Zoro
Sanji
Franky
Robin
Brook
Chopper
Usopp
Nami

Well this episode made it seem a little different. This episode had Nami and Brook fighting on par with each other it seemed like and actually had Nami fighting a bit more. This is interesting also as I noticed on the episode where she tanked the submarine she was the first one willing to fight leaving Brook and Chopper screaming for Luffy's help. Now this seems like something that the Weakling Trio would do. In my opinion weaklin trio carries no weight except in the terms of mentality. I mean that Usopp and Chopper still get scared to get into battles even if they are a lot stronger than they think. Robin and Franky usually don't care either way and Zoro and Luffy really want to fight. My point is one, It seems like Oda thinks Nami is a bit stronger and maybe even on par or go as far to say stronger than Brook do to what she has been doing in this fight. My second point is that Nami doesn't seem to be in the weakling trio anymore ( at least mentally wise). I think she doesn't mind fighting and if you notice since the timeskip she usually doesn't get scared, she does joke sometimes though. Is Nami out of the Weakling Trio? Is Brook in it? Or is it the Weakling Duo now with Nami in the Mid Trio?

P.S. I don't wanna hear anything from Nami haters who are just going to hate and give no honest opinion because I know there are a lot you.

Are you caught up in the manga? I think the list should be
Luffy
Zoro
Sanji
Brook
Robin
Franky
Chopper
Usopp
Nami

I like Nami. But Brook is probably stronger than Franky. He doesn't take fights seriously. But he has speed and that ice power

 

[Vandenre1ch]

Luffy
Zoro
Sanji
Franky
Robin/Brooke
Brokke/Robi
Chopper
Nami
Usopp

Oda said that Usopp will always be the weakest Straw Hat and that Chopper-Usopp-Nami will always be the 3 weakest SHs aka weakling trio.

 

[David1996]

Nami's stronger than Usopp.

 

[Qazim]

Brook one shots Nami

I think you are over thinking this.
There is no official weakling trio really, there never really was.

As for the Straw Hats individual ranking in terms of strength I couldn't care when it comes to any other than the top three. They aren't really known for being the fighters of the group anyway.

Nami is probably the weakest but it doesn't mean she can't be useful in a fight with her rod.
Still I definitely think Usopp is definitely stronger now despite what some damn old interview said.

1) Luffy ( obvious ) - takes on boss, usually wins, takes on admiral level, High diff, has never won ( pre-ts)
2) Zoro ( obvious ) - takes on 2nd strongest, always wins mid-high diff, takes on admiral levels, High diff has never won
3) Sanji ( obvious ) - takes on 3rd strongest, always wins mid diff, takes on boss ( dofla ) max diff, got rekked
4) Robin ( hax df ) - solo's fodder level, can fight stronger foes with mid - high diff
5) Franky ( weapooooons ) - solo's fodder level, can fight stronger foes with mid - high diff, power depends on weapons available to him
6) Chopper ( transformations ) - solo's fodder, high diff with stronger foes but has monster point to rely on
7) Brook ( strong swordsman ) - solo's fodder, can mid-low diff stronger foes but has very low sustain ( just bones brook ^^ )
8) Nami ( weather powers ) - Solo's fodder, can't fight stronger opponents solo without element of surprise/luck
9) Usopp ( plant man ) - pop greens great against fodder, but that's about it, can max diff sugar apparently tho xD

The top 5 are set in stone for me but beyond that I think the rest are interchangeable.
