@Princeley Just want to continue this discussion from the spoiler thread

I guess thats the point, we even ask the same question for Luffy to a Yonko who is soloing 9 decently strong people and his top 3 fighting Yonko commanders. The point is this is where they fully grow.
I get its hard to believe but its the point where we need to start believing it. Oda is entirely setting up Franky vs. Sasaki right now.
Otherwise, what is the alternative? Who is left to fight any of these people if not the Strawhats? The scabbards are likely done, as they should be after fighting Kaido, and the 3 Supernova Captains on Luffy's side are going after Kaido themselves with him. Potentially Hawkins and Apoo too if they flip sides.
Again, I get its hard to believe, but its something that honestly has to happen because we'll never break the barrier of having the crew strong enough to fighting the Marines, WG or Blackbeard/Shanks then.
Brook, Robin and Franky have been considered relatively similar in strength and are usually grouped together, even by Oda. All 3 have relatively similar bounties too. And coincidently, Sasaki seems to be Franky's matchup while 2 other, more "mature" F6 members are still available (WsW and BM).
Then you have the 2 "kids" in the F6, Page 1 and Ulti, and which seems to be the perfect combination for Chopper fighting one while Usopp and Nami fight the other (which they already have and have now pissed her off).
Just my opinion. Its now or never to be honest, and of we are going through a 400+ chapter plot with virtually no payoff for some of the strawhats it will be massively disappointing.
