Wtf are you talking about? He is clearly Top 2-3, right after Beckman
Doesn't change the fact he's a sniper. That's how he fights, same as Usopp. And Usopp is quite obviously going to surpass his father.
His executives have EACH won their own fame
and his crew boasts a high average bounty
And we haven't gotten to Elbaf where he's set up to play an absolutely massive role.
At best Usopp is going to become a better marksman in terms of accuracy (as shown in Dressrosa).
People forget Usopp doesn't even have basic armament yet, and he can't even use observation properly.
