Doc Q now officially fights using two devil fruits like his captain
Among the first four members he had the highest bounty too
He might be too much for Choppa
The Blackbeard Pirates enjoy cheating. Two Akuma no Mis?! INSANE! If their entire crew ends up getting two, then not only will it show how powerful they are but it will also show how many powerful people they probably killed.
Experience and imagination will overthrow raw strength, so Luffy will probably be the only one who can defeat him.
Taking this into account, I have no idea how the ”weak trio” will fair against them. Usopp hasn’t gotten a powerup in who knows how long, while both Nami and Chopper have gotten some character development during Wano.
Usopp is the only one falling behind, but I don’t see how there would be enough time to go to Elbaf before fighting Blackbeard knowing now that Koby and Pudding have been captured.
We’ll see how it plays out. I think Egghead is the arc that’s going to give the Straw Hats a great boost. With Vegapunk’s knowledge, I can see Usopp, Nami, Sanji, Chopper, Franky and maybe even others benefitting from him! I don’t think it’s a coincidence that he’s being revealed now this late into the story.
