However, your comment Count D really makes me want to disagree, since half the Straw Hat's have no fighting skills to begin with. Let us break the crew members down per say, and actually reveal that 4/9 members of the Straw Hat's can not fight without their weapons or Devil Fruit abilities.
Ussop - He uses long distance, gimmick, and dial based weaponry. Ussop would be easily beaten without these items.
Nami - The Clima Tact is just a complex version of a simple quarter staff, before Nami was given the "weather enforcer" by Ussop, her ways of battle was getting others to accomplish her dirty deeds or run away like Ussop.
Robin - While her Hana Hana powers are incredible, they are hardly used and nothing more then more of deus ex machina idea by Oda. In the Alabasta arc, it was shown that if her hand's receive any form of damage. She receives it as well. So in logically terms she has a sword with two sharp edges. While most of her moves are grapple based attacks, everything else is more suited for spy/scout related missions
Brooke - While Zoro can clearly fight without the use of his katanas, shown during the Davy Back arc. Brooke faces the same element of being screwed over like Ussop without his weapon.
Perona would easily fit into the group, as she is not that powerful but she would fill any odd position, like Robin. Since when did it make sense to have Robin, with her abilities and archaeologist training on an actual pirate ship to begin with? Anyways please go ahead and be my guest at trying to disprove anything I just typed up, however I probably won't response since I'm usually at work anymore.
