Powers & Abilities Are non-weapon users underrated

Yes, they are underrated because many don't take into consideration that flesh in the OP world can be way harder to cut then mere rock.
Brawlers are not only able to dodge or block an attack using haki, they can also use one of their own attacks to counter a sword attack. Brawlers and swordsmen can clash.
Being a proficent swordsman is certainly advantageous for anyone capable of wielding a sword, blocking an attack is easier, you are more lethal and so on but it doesn't mean swordsmen are better than brawlers.
Just as Luffy was weaker while using swords in Arlong Park, Zoro is weaker with no sword to use.
They are different fighting style
Zoro needs his swords to reach his peak as a fighter, without them, he would be far weaker.
Sanji and Luffy would be in a different league

I dont think Luffy counts as a pure brawler cause he uses a df.
Sanji before raid suit would have counted here.
The only people you could consider as pure brawlers are Garp and Koby as they rely purely on their bodies to fight without external tools ie suits, swords, dfs etc.
The fact that the entire series only has 2 individuals that fights while only relying on their bodies shows that it is very tough to do so.
Luffy also needs his df to reach his peak. Cause in point, Luffy without gears has not defeated anyone of note since the EL arc.
The only one I agrre with is Sanji preRaid suit. Now with raid suit, he too will be like Zoro and Luffy and will not be at his peak without the raid suit. Cause in point, he would have received more damage from P1 and King without his suit

Luffy is DF User, which is same as Weapon User
Non-Weapon Users are Garp, Jinbe, Ideo ... etc
Even Sanji is using a Raid Suit now so he doesn't count
And they are underrated because Garp is the only Top Tier among them & they are also very rare among High Tier
DF Powers & Swordsmanship dominate the world of One Piece

What do you mean? Could you Imagine non weapon user in real world at Golden age of Pirates?!
That's exactly how it should be. You don't have to be a swordman to wield the sword, but fact is that sword was always most effective weapon to pierce and kill. That is why Roger, Rocks and others use sword. They don't give a shit on swordman pride etc, they just use most practical weapon. How exactly barehand user could be on same line?
But then again, you could and should consider DF as weapon too.

Because some of them hit like this
And can do shit like this
Or stuff like King Punch. Or Sai's drill Dragon kick etc. While still having access to high - top tier hardening that can make their bodies massively stronger than steel and Flow to enhance their AP lol.
They have plenty ways to contend with the powers set in place in this series

Depends on the character i would say, some are underrated, while others are extremely overrated.
I dont know if Luffy is a pure brawler, he has a DF that enchances his reach by a LOT, not to mention the speed and power boost the gears give him. He dosent realy use any martial arts either like the techniques the CP9 uses like Soru, Tekai, etc...
