The average combat power isn’t what makes a pirate crew
Nijimura TsutsujiThe Straw Hat Grand Fleet’s average combat power isn’t what makes a pirate crew. I mean, there are some people in the mix who are so strong you wonder, “Should I even be a part of this?” Heildin, for sure, could take down an entire naval branch.
NekomochiI really love Cavendish’s dual-wielding mode. It’s a classic example of a good-looking character’s dark personality, so I wonder why I get so excited every time.
Sakura SakukoroActually, Bartolomeo’s existence as a “barrier for my favorite character to fight” is just too strong. His own firepower is high, but his defense is fake.
Mochimochi TaroLeo and the other Tontattas’ physical abilities have clearly improved since the beginning of the story, lol. They’re cute, but in battle they become like a “really small army.”
Hikari no HakoOorumbus, if you just charge forward with a brute force of numbers, that guy could easily take down a country.
Nanohana RanI think Heildin’s punches are top-class even among the Titans, what do you think?
Hotaruzaka
I think he’s definitely top-tier. If he were to develop with Elbaf-style techniques, he could probably cause a Mihawk-level seaquake.
TatarubouSai’s kicks are so powerful I’d describe them as “national treasure-class kicks.” Is that really something a human could unleash?
KuromameyaIdeo’s punches are so explosive they’re unfair. Even though it’s just pirates fighting, the effects make it look like the final scene of a battle manga.
Hanamura HanaI think that all those freelancers, including Blue Jelly, together are at the level of a Navy Vice Admiral team.
Fukurou BunkoOolumbus’s “command ability” is essentially his fighting ability. The quality of the war changes depending on the area of control and the number of troops mobilized.
Hikaru SakurabaIt’s so funny that Cavendish and Bartolomeo are in the same fleet… Their offensive and defensive capabilities are polar opposites.
Origami CloudBartolomeo’s barrier, if we’re talking about power alone, is top-class in the entire fleet. It’s a wall that even an admiral might not be able to break through.
MizukinonBut in terms of overall strength, I like Sai because he’s the most pirate-like. His Haki has also improved, and he’s the type where the purity of his spirit becomes his military power.
Thunder GrassLeo’s weapon handling is surprisingly overpowered. Stitching things together to secure them changes the concept of destruction.
HotaruzakaBartolomeo → Strongest Defense
Cavendish → Strongest Lethality
Sai → Strongest Destruction
Oolombus → Strongest Tactics
Laughs, it’s already so well-balanced like that.
I laughed when I heard that giant Heildin could “smash his way from Sky Island to Marine Headquarters” if he learned Haki.
Nanohana RanThe guys in the Fronkian army are strong, but Leo really stands out. Cute yet destructive.
Swaying BoatThe Rolling Pirates’ modest firing unit, the strength of a large fleet is its deep sub-forces.
Kuro MameyaNumerically, a large fleet is on the level of a national army under the command of the Four Emperors…
Straw Hat Grand Fleet, Captains’ personalities
Sakura SakukoroSai-kun is super brutish, but he treats his comrades with such kindness that it’s a game changer.
Fukurou BunkoBartolomeo is the epitome of otaku. He’s so noble that his drive is out of control.
Mochimochi TaroI love that moment when Bartolomeo’s honorifics and casual language get all mixed up.
Nijimura TsutsujiI love how Cavendish has the personality of an aristocratic idol who loves himself and gives fan service, but his secret personality is so quiet.
Thunder GrassHe usually acts like a prince, but when he’s relaxed, he becomes a total child.
Kuro MameyaThe gender gap between Bartolomeo and Cavendish is chaotic, like a boy’s manga and a girl’s manga all on the same ship.
Swaying BoatLeo is so cute, like a “platoon leader with a craftsman’s mentality.” He has such a strong sense of responsibility.
Fukurou BunkoLeo’s “personality that is straightforward with everyone” is probably the fleet’s soothing force.
Origami CloudAll the Tontattas are so cheerful at heart that it makes the world seem a little more fun.
NekomochiHeildin is the kind, big brother figure among the Titans. He cares deeply for his teammates.
Hikari no HakoI love how Ideo is simply passionate. He’s refreshing and quick to fight, but he’s also well-mannered.
Nanohana RanHe’s a brawler, but I think he’s the type who keeps his promises. I can trust him.
Hanamura HanaI thought Blue Jelly would be more violent, but he’s actually quite sensible.
HotaruzakaOolumbus is the “working man of the fleet.” Everything he does is like paperwork.
Sakuraba HikaruSai used to be more violent, but he’s grown up a lot. He has the feel of a reliable older brother.
Sakura SakukoroHaildin is the scariest when he’s angry, but he’s usually so kind, it’s unfair.
Nijimura TsutsujiBartolomeo is the first to lose his temper if someone says something bad about Luffy. He’s like a religious believer.
The Drifting BoatI like how the personalities of the members of the Grand Fleet are generally on the good side, even though they’re pirates.
The Box of LightI like how Cavendish’s dual nature and personality are properly integrated into the story.
Relationship with the Straw Hat Pirates
Mochimochi TaroBartolomeo → Luffy Cultist
This alone explains their relationship.
Leo and Usopp’s relationship is truly noble, like “a legend passed down through the generations and the people who believe in it.”
NekomochiI think Sai and Zoro get along well. They’re both straightforward and efficient.
Nijimura TsutsujiI really love how Cavendish and Luffy are “benefactor and aristocrat” on the surface, but secretly they’re brimming with jealousy.
The Box of LightHildin and Franky are definitely competing for size.
Fukurou BunkoLeo and Nami are able to communicate with each other as capable people. A conversation about planning skills.
Swaying BoatI think Oolongbus and Robin would have a blast talking about documents.
Black Bean ShopIdeo and Sanji seem like they’d become fighting buddies. I can’t tell if they get along or not.
Sakura SakukoroFranky and Blue Jelly are a perfect match. The synergy between an engineer and a strongman.
Nanohana RanEven though they’re called “Straw Hats,” I love how the members of the Grand Fleet are serious about the principle that “a friend of a friend is a friend.”
Sakuraba HikaruBartolomeo’s attitude toward Zoro is like that of a middle schooler who idolizes his delinquent relative.
HotaruzakaLeo and Chopper are definitely good friends. Cute x cute is justice.
Origami CloudHildin and Brook would probably get excited talking about surprisingly nerdy music.
MizukinonOolongbus and Nami often clash over financial calculations. But they ultimately work together.
Thunder GrassI really love Sai and Luffy’s “quiet friendship.”
Swaying BoatCavendish and Sanji get into a fight over who is the most popular.
Nijimura TsutsujiI seriously believe that Bartolomeo is raising Luffy’s spirit.
Fukurou BunkoLeo is the “younger brother” of the Straw Hat Pirates. That’s fair.
NekomochiI don’t think Heildin will ever be able to stand up to Usopp.
Sakura SakukoroThe Straw Hat Grand Fleet’s strong “friends of family are family” mentality is what makes them great.
