The Straw Hats are the main characters throughout a piece the story As a team comprised of some of the most powerful and important figures in the entire world, this ragtag group of pirates went from being another pirate team to being the closest Yonko team could find. a piece legendary treasure.
However, as beloved as this crew is, not all members within its ranks serve the same purpose. Naturally, some are more essential to the overall composition of the crew than others, and without their direct input, the Straw Hats' journey would not have been the same. So, let's rank straw hats based on overall usefulness.
One Piece: Every Yonko's strongest attack, ranked
Yonko are the strongest pirates in the One Piece world, and here are their most powerful attacks.

Brooke's inclusion doesn't really offer much
Role: Musician
It's no secret that Luffy wanted a musician more than anything else when he set out on his journey to form a pirate crew, and his prayers were answered at the end of Thriller Bark when Brooke joined the Straw Hats. Overall, Brooke is one of the best characters in the whole a piece Katha, as she has proven time and again with her personality, story, strength and skills. However, overall, he is not as important to the crew as the others, despite being the most talented musician in the world.
9
Usopp's role has changed a few times over the years
Role: Sniper
As for everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates, Usopp remains one of the best written characters of them all and serves as a realistic interpretation of what the average person is like in this world. However, he has grown significantly in strength as he has managed to evoke observational hockey, although the role of sniper is not really necessary. The biggest problem fans have with Usopp is that Oda has sidelined him for almost every arc and he hasn't really had much of an opportunity to shine, so he's been a victim of writing choices more than anything else.
8
Jinbei is the highest-ranking member
Role: Helmsman
As the helmsman of the Straw Hats, Jinbei is absolutely incomparable in his role, as he has always proven to steer Thousand Sunny far better than anyone could possibly have. However, the main reason for his relatively low placing is that he joined the crew very late so he didn't really show much. Also, the Straw Hats managed to get to Wano without Jinbei, which affects his usefulness to the crew.

Zoro is the main fighter of the crew
Role: Vice Captain
Zoro is the main fighter of the Straw Hats and of course Luffy's most loyal subordinate. However, his overall role in the crew is that of a fighter, which is honestly something that everyone else is capable of, though not as a pirate hunter. However, Zoro's most important contribution is his promotion to vice-captain, where some of the tough decisions often fall to him when Luffy's own judgment is clouded, such as giving Usopp back at the end of the Enies Lobby arc. At times like these, Zorro is crucial to the crew's identity.
6
Sanji puts everyone on Crew Fade
Role: Cook
In terms of utility, Sanji and Zoro are honestly interchangeable, though most fans tend to give the edge to Sanji purely because of his role in the crew. The main argument here is that Sanji and Zoro aren't that far apart in terms of overall power, and while Zoro has a bit more say due to his seniority and time on the crew, Sanji is the only cook on the entire ship, so without him, the others don't eat. This alone makes Sanji an incredibly important part of the Straw Hats.
5
Frankie is responsible for Sonny's care
Role: Shipwright
Often, many people consider the Straw Hats, the ship of the thousand suns, to be crew members as well. Frankie is the one who created this ship and is the one who is directly responsible for its repair and maintenance, meaning that if he is not there, the crew has no way to get to Laugh Tail. Since everyone's dreams are directly tied to Luffy's and reaching the final island, his importance with Frankie and Sunny is imperative to doing so.

The way to get a famous chart laughing story
Role: Navigator
Like Frankie, Nami's role as the Straw Hats' navigator is crucial to making everyone's dreams come true by reaching the Laugh Tail. Her own dream is to map the entire world, which will only be accomplished when she reaches the end of the final island, and the entire method of getting there can only be seen when she manages to triangulate its location after finding the final Road Poneglyph.
3
The helicopter is responsible for fixing everyone
Role: Doctor
As a scientific genius, Chopper has been the Straw Hats' doctor for his entire journey. Although he is part of the weaker trio, he is still remarkably strong at some points, although his real power comes from being the best doctor in the world right now, as he is able to cure incurable diseases on the spot. After each tough battle, the Straw Hats must rely on the helicopter to fix them up and keep them in top shape, which itself speaks to his indispensable role within the crew.
One Piece: Each pair stronger than Luffy and Zoro
Luffy and Zoro are the most iconic duo in the series, and despite being powerful, few are even stronger than them.
2
Robin is the only person who can read Ponglyphs
Role: Archaeologist
As with Brooke and Usopp, the role of archeologist is one that is not essential to the operation of the crew, with many other crews it is not. However, especially for the Straw Hats, Robin's appointment as resident archaeologist is important to everything, because everyone's dream is tied to finding a piece of treasure in one way or another, and the only way to do this is by solving the poneglyphs. At the current moment, Robin is the only person in the world who can do that, so without him, Luffy will never become the Pirate King and the Straw Hats will never achieve their dreams.
1
Luffy created the Straw Hat Pirate Crew
Role: Captain
Ultimately, aside from his strength, Luffy isn't very important to the Straw Hats' day-to-day tasks and operations, as he's always looting in some way. However, simply put, Luffy wouldn't be a Straw Hat without him, as it was his dream to go on adventures and his power to bring people together that formed the identity of the team we know today. His dream unites everyone else, so he is the most important and useful Straw Hat of all.
