#spandam

Has a myriad of skills and talents other than marksmanship that he is presumably self-taught in: storytelling, charisma, voice mimicry, drawing, sculpting, engineering, chemistry, carpentry, horticulture, and weapon-crafting

Excels as a strategist who can defeat stronger opponents by exploiting their weaknesses, utilizing psychological warfare, using the environment to his advantage, and coming up with ingenious battle tactics on the fly

Overcomes his fears to fight Choo from the Arlong Pirates and beats him using a slingshot, a rubber band, sake, a Flaming Star projectile, and a hammer

Plays a crucial role in defeating Mr. 3 and freeing Zoro, Nami, and Vivi from their wax prisons in the Little Garden Arc

Shoots down Spandam and Marines from the Tower of Justice across the Bridge of Hesitation, without hitting Robin once, all before he awakened his Observation Haki

Negates Perona’s Devil Fruit abilities using nothing but his sheer pessimism, and then defeats her by using psychological warfare to scare her until she faints

Awakens his Observation Haki and uses it to land a perfect shot across a whole-ass country to save Luffy and Law from Sugar

Is extremely dependable to the point where Luffy and the other Straw Hats know they can count on him to come in clutch when all hope seems to be lost, and he always delivers

An essential crew member who has more than earned his place as a Straw Hat and contributed to their successes in both big and small ways

Manages to be a source of comic relief without becoming incompetent or detracting from his importance to the plot

A well-rounded character whose strengths, flaws, and insecurities make him extremely relatable to the audience

Has proven himself as a brave warrior of the sea on his own merits without riding on his father’s coattails

One of the bravest characters in the series who will overcome his fear and fight to protect his loved ones and those who depend on him

Curses out Rob Lucci and is willing to fight him to protect Luffy despite being outmatched and forces Luffy to keep fighting and beat Lucci

Calls Imu a punk-ass bitch to his face and ragebaits him hard enough to summon him to Elbaf

Has a big heart and is an amazing friend who stick by you through thick and thin, even if he sometimes disagrees with you

Fights his own battles and wins them like a boss

Utilizes his skill at lying and tall-tales to help and uplift others (Kaya, Straw Hats, Tontatta Dwarves)

Even weaker than the average Marine grunt, contributes absolutely nothing both in and out of battle

Relies on his subordinates for everything and fight his battles for him

Uses his “Dark Justice” as an excuse to do whatever he wants no matter how many innocent people get hurt or killed by his actions

Rides on his father’s coattails and obtained his position solely through nepotism instead of his (nonexistent) merits

Consistently ignored, mocked, and disrespected by his own subordinates who recognize how useless he is

Too cowardly to own up to his failures or stand up for his beliefs, too incompetent to be a major villain

Status as comic relief emphasizes his ineptitude

Humiliates and beats up Robin while she’s restrained with Seastone cuffs, but is completely defenseless when she and Franky fight back

Is so stupid that he accidentally invokes a Buster Call on Enies Lobby, and then lies that he purposely invoked it to eliminate the Straw Hat Pirates

Shifts the blame for destruction of Enies Lobby squarely on his subordinates even though it was entirely his own fault, and sends government agents to hunt them down while they’re on the run

Demoted to Lucci’s bitch during the time-skip

Im questioning myself on my taste in men...
