Remember when all the Strawhat men were close in power?

>Zoro and Luffy fought equally in Alabasta
>Chopper knocked out the monster trio his first appearance
>Chopper walked alongside the monster trio to fight as equals with them to fuck up Franky
>Franky fought to a draw with Luffy and overpowered Blueno with one arm, Luffy didn't beat him until unlocking his gears
>even Usopp put up a good fight against Luffy in Water 7

Now Chopper and Usopp are jokes, there's a clear power scale with the conquerors at the top, and Franky won every fight easily but hasn't got any standout strong opponents to prove himself because it goes to the monster trio.
