You know I find it kind of weird that less than half the Strawhat crew have actually received power-ups by now. I mean Luffy is a given; he gets one every arc almost. Now Zoro and Sanji have followed him this time with item upgrades, and Nami got Zeus on Cake Island. So that leaves Franky, Robin, Usopp, Chopper, and I guess Brook with nothing much. Yeah, I know Oda doesn't have time to pursue every little detail, but you'd think he would give the rest of the Strawhats something cool once in a great while.
I kind of agree, specially with Chopper, Robin and Brook!
As to Franky and Usopp, it's because that they are inventors themselves, it's them who provide technology advancements to Nami for example. I feel Oda simply can off-screen the idea of both Franky and Usopp upgrading their own weapons, like Franky modifying some of his body parts or adds more weapons, while Usopp upgrading his kabuto slingshot. Usopp always does that, he never appears in a panel showing us clearly that he's upgrading his weapon. He just appears in middle of fight saying "witness my upgraded kabuto" LOL acting like Sogeking and stuff
So, I'm not really worried about Franky and Usopp cause they have intellect that can upgrade their stuff offscreen before the battle without us saying it's asspull
But with Chopper, Robin and Brook. Honestly, Oda needed to show more of them training themselves in something specific. It breaks my heart specially everytime I see how useless Chopper is becoming during fierce fights, or how Robin is always shown in a supporting role rather than having a main fight.
Hell, even to compare the supporting role Nami and Robin played at Dressrosa and WCI. You can clearly see how it's heartbreaking
Robin, is supporting Kyrus against trash Diamante and was watching on the sideline protecting Rebecca and still sustained a lot of damage on her back
Nami, supporting Luffy against a Yonko top 3 commander, Cracker, and exposed a weakness to him that allowed Luffy to win!
And then she didn't stop there, she continued with great showcase of her climatact and weather science to actually land many hits on Big Mom herself and buy time to the crew from Big Mom.
Chopper on the other hand, I just wish we never see brain point from the start of this war till the end. The mode is the most useless form in combat, and it's only usage of combat is when he makes a move where he reads a weakness from an enemy, before he changes back to his other fighting forms, yet he is now staying in brain point 24/7 and what's worse, he did not use the reading weakness move ever since Thriller bark when he said that Oars weakness is his spine. That was the last time we saw that move. Which makes him staying in Brain point is basically useless, cause despite being in "Brain" point, he's 24/7 without a freaking brain, and being naive as hell hahahaha

Lol candy boys cry as always. They though their boy may do same with enma as zoro does . Next thread should be something like " how many seconds sanji can hold on to life aganist enma with his inexistent coa ? "
Why would he even fight Zoro when he can be invisible and peep into a woman's bath LOL
