In this article, I want to review the members of the Straw Hat Pirates (SHP) in One Piece based on their strength. As we know, the SHP group is filled with various kinds of characters who have various strengths and characteristics. They had experienced many great adventures and had also faced strong foes. With the addition of Jinbei in their group, of course it makes their crew stronger.
Well, how about the ranking of the Straw Hat crew's strength from the weakest to the strongest? Let's see the following review.
10. God Usopp
In this place, there is God Usopp who is a dangerous sniper from the SHP. Usopp has a hobby of lying as well as a pessimistic and timid personality. In the past, he would often run away when he encountered an enemy much stronger than himself. Despite having trained for two years on the island of Sabaody, Usopp's negative side still resurfaces when he face a difficult situation.
In battle, Usopp is indeed the weakest crew. It has also been mentioned by Eiichiro Oda that Usopp has always been the weakest Straw Hat crew compared to the other crews. As we know, Usopp's main skill is sniper and he once said that his role in the team is as a supporter, not a front line fighter.
Usopp will find it difficult if he has to fight face to face with opponents at close range. This can also be seen from his weapon which has less severe impact on strong enemies when compared to Nami's Clima Tact.
Even though Usopp is the crew with the weakest strength, that doesn't mean Usopp is harmless. His intelligence and luck often make him a character to be reckoned with. Often, Usopp plays an important role in the victory against enemies, for example when he saved Luffy from Sugar's threat in Dressrosa or when he fought against Perona in Thriller Bark.
9. Nami
In the next place, there is Nami who is the greatest navigator of the SHP group. Nami is a reliable thief as well as an expert in navigation and map making. She has a big dream to draw an entire world map. Just like Usopp, he is also part of the weakest trio in SHP. Despite this, Nami's abilities developed rapidly during her training and study about the weather on the sky island Weatheria.
Currently, Nami's Clima Tact is already at a perfect stage after Usopp and Franky upgraded her weapon. The weapon is capable of issuing deadly weather-based attacks, such as lightning strikes, hurricanes, etc. Unlike his old Clima Tact, this upgraded weapon's attacks become more powerful on a large scale.
Furthermore, Nami's attacks become stronger after she has Zeus as one of her trump cards. Zeus' attacks are very strong and quite troublesome for the enemies. In addition, Nami is also quite skilled in terms of strategy. He's a smart character and quite able to adapt in a variety of difficult situations, such as when he fought Califa in Enies Lobby.
8. Tony Tony Chopper
The strongest SHP character in the eighth position is Tony Tony Chopper. At SHP, Chopper served as a ship's doctor who always ready to treat the wounds suffered by his friends or allies during the battle. In addition, he also has a dream to become a great doctor who can cure all kinds of diseases.
Chopper ate the Hito Hito no Mi devil fruit. By using his Rumble Ball, Chopper can transform into various forms. One of Chopper's strongest forms is Monster Point which allows him to turn into a giant monster.
After two years of training on the island of Torino, Chopper finally managed to increase his transformation ability to become stronger. He can also control his monster form without losing consciousness.
Seeing his strength like that, Chopper is actually a character with potential in fighting. Unfortunately, he has the same cowardice as Nami and Usopp. If he has more courage, Chopper can be a nightmare for his enemies.

7. Nico Robin
Next, there is Nico Robin who is an archaeologist and the sole survivor of the Ohara incident. She wants to find the Rio Poneglyph and find the truth of the Void Century. In addition, she also has the Hana Hana no Mi ability which allows her to grow her limbs at will like flowers.
During the time skip, Robin joined the revolutionary army led by Dragon. There, she also trained his abilities to become stronger. After her training, Robin can create clones of himself. In addition, she is also able to create giant hands or feet with his devil fruit abilities. This ability makes her a tough character that is quite difficult to beat.
Robin's abilities also improved greatly when she fought Black Maria from Tobi Roppo. She is able to use the Demonio Fleur technique which looks very terrible and can intimidate opponents. With this technique, Robin was able to defeat Black Maria, who was a very strong opponent.
6. Brook
Brook is a musician and eater of the Yomi Yomi no Mi devil fruit which enabled him to rise from life. Based on his strength and track record, Brook is more stronger than Robin. Although only bones remain, Brook is an immortal character and cannot die, unless all of his bones are destroyed without remaining.
Brook's main strength actually lies in his spirit or soul that has been resurrected from the afterlife. That's what makes him able to hypnotize and bring people into his realm. Brook's ability is not only that. He is very good at playing music and also has a talented swordsmanship. Uniquely, Brook's sword has a special effect that can freeze opponents. Based on Brook's words, the freezing effect came from the coldness of the realm of death.
In the story, the evidence of Brook's abilities is overwhelming. He can easily beat Big Mom's chess squad with his music and screams. In addition, he is also a first SHP crew that has fought head-on against a Yonkou without fear, although in the end he lost because Big Mom's strength was not of his level. Because of that, Brook deserves to occupy the sixth position.
5. Franky
Franky is a cyborg whose body has been modified. In the past, he had a terrible accident at sea that made some of his organs broke. With his mechanical skills, Franky managed to turn his body into a cyborg that can function as a weapon in battle. Franky's body became stronger after he modified it for two years on the island of Karakuri, Vegapunk's hometown.
Franky's main strength actually lies in the advanced technology embedded in his body. Some examples of these weapons are launchers, cannon fire, and laser beams which are his strongest attacks. In addition, that strength is also supported by his stamina and enthusiasm which is often passionate. On one occasion, Franky can also fight with his bare hands, for example the case when he fought Senor Pink one by one in Dressrosa.
In addition, Franky also has a secret weapon in the form of a robot named Franky Shogun. The robot is his greatest work for two years. The robot is indeed tough and can easily defeat enemies who are not too strong. However, the robot is one of Franky's big weapons in fighting and inflicts quite fatal injuries on the opponent. Franky also managed to defeat Sasaki, who had the power of an ancient Zoan who had strong defenses.

4. Jinbe
Next, there is Jinbei who is a former member of the Sichibukai as well as the former captain of the Sun pirates. He is a newest crew who recently joined the SHP and served as a helmsman in the group.
Despite this, Jinbei has accompanied Luffy's adventures since they were in Impel Down. Jinbei also saved Luffy from depression after losing his brother. He has a dream to bring peace between humans and fishmen like the dream of his former captain, Fisher Tiger.
The joining of Jinbei into the SHP crew certainly surprised various parties, for example, Kid and Law were very shocked. The reason is, Jinbei is a very strong and infamous pirate throughout the sea. As a fish-man, Jinbei is already very strong compared to normal humans. This ability is also supported by the Fish-men Karate technique which he is very good at. In addition, Jinbei is also capable of using Haki.
Some proof of how scary Jinbei is is that he was able to defeat Charlotte Opera in one hit on Whole Cake island. In addition, he can also throw Big Mom away when he and the rest of Luffy's crew are sailing away. In the past, Jinbei's strength was also equal to Ace. They had fought for days with same strength. With Jinbei's current presence, SHP's combat power has become even stronger.
3. Vinsmoke Sanji
Vinsmoke Sanji is a chef from SHP. He is the biological son of Vinsmoke Judge, the leader of the Germa 66 from North Blue. However, Sanji had a bitter experience and he ran away from his family and then he lived in East Blue. During his time at East Blue, he grew up and worked under Zeff at Baratie. He also inherited Zeff's ability to fight using his feet.
In fighting, Sanji always uses his very lethal foot technique and has high attack power, especially now that he has mastered Haki after training with Ivankov. In addition, Sanji's other main strength lies in his speed that exceeds normal humans.
Sanji has very agile movements in fighting. One of Sanji's strongest techniques is the Diable Janbe technique which is capable of burning both physical and internal organs. The power of Sanji's kick also received recognition from Doflamingo when they clashed at Dressrosa.
Sanji's current strength also increases dramatically after he uses the Vinsmoke family's Raid Suit. Raid Suit technology gives him several advantages during battle, such as increasing speed, reducing damage received from enemy attacks, and the special effect of becoming an invisible human.
In his latest fight against Queen, Sanji is showing signs of his superpowers having awakened. The bones that had been crushed were able to recover to their original state quickly. He became similar to his brother whose body had been modified into a human exoskeleton. With the combination of Haki and modified bones, Sanji was able to create a Ifrit Janbe technique that was so powerful that he was able to defeat Queen.
2. Roronoa Zoro
Of course, the second place is occupied by Roronoa Zoro, a man who wants to be strongest swordsman in the world. After all, Zoro has developed a lot when he was in Wano country, especially after he got Oden's Enma sword which was able to increase all his potential powers.
Compared to other characters, Zoro is the crew that is seen training the most on the ship. He always strives to become a stronger man from time to time in order to realize his ambition of becoming the strongest swordsman in the world.
To achieve this, Zoro was even willing to throw away his pride and asked Mihawk to train him. During his adventure, Zoro was even in difficult situations that brought him on the verge of death, such as his fight against Mihawk, Daz Bones, Kaku, and also when he faced Kuma in Thriller Bark.
Zoro's main strength lies in his swordsmanship and above average physical abilities. With his sword, Zoro can cut anything. Zoro is also able to use haki well, especially Bushosoku no Haki. In the fight against King from Beast Pirate, Zoro had showed his full ability. Zoro at that time experienced a very fierce battle. In the end, he managed to defeat King.
1. Monkey D. Luffy
Without a doubt, the first rank as the strongest crew was occupied by Monkey D. Luffy as the captain of the ship. He has a great dream to become the Pirate King and become the freest person in the sea. To achieve that dream, Luffy was even willing to sacrifice his life during the battle. Although Luffy is a goofy character, but he has a unique charisma that makes him respected by the entire crew.
During his adventures, Luffy has always been at the forefront of protecting his entire crew from enemy threats. He always risked his life by fighting the boss or the strongest person in an organization, be it a pirate or a government organization. For example when he fought against Crocodile in Arabasta and also Rob Lucci when he was in Enies Lobby. Luffy loves his crew very much and doesn't want to lose them. Therefore, Luffy is always determined to become stronger.
Currently, Luffy's abilities are on a much different level from what he used to be. In addition to relying on his devil fruit abilities, Luffy is currently able to master high-level Haki, especially Kenbunshoku no Haki which allows him to see a little into the future and advanced Bushosoku no Haki which makes his attacks increase.
He got the haki ability after going through the fight against Katakuri at
Whole Cake and training hard under Hyogoro's direction while in Udon prison,
Wanokuni. In addition, Luffy will most likely also prepare a special technique
that he will use against Kaido later.
