The Straw Hats of One Piece each bring their own set of
strengths to the crew.
It doesn’t take a genius to realize that the Straw Hat Pirates are not your average shonen bunch.
Every aspect regarding this One Piece crew is head and shoulders above the
conventional anime lead parties, whether be it the dynamics shared between them
or their unique connection with the plot. Anime protagonist groups that could
actually compete with the Strawhats are few and far between.

One Piece Quotes
The whole group aside, even at an individual level, the Straw
Hat Pirates are quite impressive. Each of their backstories links perfectly
with who they are and who they aspire to be. Their growth and intricate
development are undoubtedly their collective strong points. Their individual
strong points, however, differ from one member to another. These strong points
are the defining features that separate our heroes from the common folk.
10Jinbe: Experience
The Knight of the Sea, Jinbe, is certainly the most experienced
member of the Strawhat Crew. For starters, experience comes with age, and Jinbe
seconds only Brook when it comes to age.
Furthermore, Jinbe is the most knowledgeable Straw Hat when it
comes to piracy. After all, he captained his own ship for more or less a decade.
Following his initiation, Jinbe’s role in the crew was cemented as Luffy’s
advisor.
9Brook: Adaptability
Brook is the musician of the group as well as its jester. While
his official roles are to keep the crew entertained, he is capable of much
more. When he is idle, Brook can be found fooling around. But when push comes
to shove, he can transform into a different person.
His unfortunate encounter with Big Mom proves just that. Moreso,
Brook is also the oldest member of the crew, hence his maturity shouldn't come
as a surprise.
8Franky: Science
Franky’s strongest suit is the science that shaped his very
body. Through science, he will be able to grow as an individual as well as
assist the crew’s collective growth. The more science he accumulates, the more
formidable he- and the Strawhat Crew- becomes.
Back in Zou arc, Franky declared that he will build a weapon
capable of damaging Kaido-- a testimony to his confidence in his
science.
7Robin: Intel Gathering & Espionage
Robin admitted it herself, she, as an archaeologist, specializes
in intel gathering and...well, assassination. Using the skill sets she learned
from Ohara, she is capable of uncovering the truths of the World. And using the
skill sets she picked up from her experiences, she is able to provide the Straw
Hats with various other forms of support.
Not to mention that her devil fruit is super compatible with the
path she has chosen.
6Chopper: The Way Of Medicine
To become the World’s greatest doctor is Chopper’s dream. The
medicinal knowledge he accumulated along the way is what will push him closer
to said dream.
Not only does Chopper’s medicine cure the needy, but it also
assists him in combat. Through the Rumble Balls he developed, he became one
of a select few Zoan-users approaching devil fruit
awakening. Heck! Some speculate that he already reached awakening-- Monster
Point.
5Nami: Navigation Skills
Nami is easily one of the most talented navigators in the world
of One Piece. It’s her navigation skills that make her one of
the most essential members of the crew; only she can lead Luffy to his final
destination.
Although she has other roles in the crew, her navigation skills
remain the most prominent. If her fighting strength or any other stats she
harbors were as prevalent as her navigation talent, she would’ve been outright
overpowered.
4Usopp: Versatility
Usopp prides himself on his huge assortment of skills capable of
defeating the enemy. He might be the sniper of the crew, but sniping isn’t the
only skill he is proficient at. His calculating brain is capable of forming
instantaneous plans based on any scenario at hand.That’s how Usopp had fought,
and that’s how he will always fight. He always picks the unconventional route;
the one that’s the most convenient to him and his allies.
3Sanji: Kindness
Sanji’s kindness is sort of a double-edged sword. He has only grown so far as a fighter due to his urge to
protect those close to him. He isn’t a fighting freak like Zoro, but he
wouldn’t mind turning into one for the sake of his loved ones.
Kindness can be said to be his driving factor to become
stronger. But with all said and done, this excess kindness can sometimes
backfire-- especially when he is dealing with a woman.
2Zoro: Perseverance
Zoro has always been a hard worker. In fact, it could be argued
that he works harder than everyone else in the crew. All for the pursuit of his
dream-- becoming the World’s most powerful swordsman.
His perseverance also makes itself apparent whenever Zoro is engaged in combat. No matter how overwhelmed he
is, he never loses confidence in his swords. It would take at least that much
to pursue a dream as grand as his.
1Luffy: Charisma
Mihawk and a few other legends confirmed it themselves;
Luffy’s strongest point is his ability to attract those around him-- extreme
charisma. Whether be it a future Yonko, or the Pirate Empress herself; no one
can withstand Luffy’s radiance.
Fans have witnessed firsthand what Luffy’s charisma is capable
of. Even a marine admiral, Fujitora, succumbed to it. It’s a
gift that even he isn’t completely aware of.
