Without a doubt Usopp has shown us throughout the series that when he doesn't run away he can do some serious damage. Every time he pulled some stunt to own an enemy (besides joke attacks) I was always struck by the fact that Usopp, considered the weakest Straw Hat, just completely pwned someone. If he has to some extent become less of a coward over the time skip we'll see more action from him. . . I hope he isn't brave though, that would ruin his character lol. His point is to be a scaredy cat!

To Usopp topping the monster trio?. . . Perhaps he's on par to Sanji/Zoro two years ago, but in their post time skip form Usopp would have zero chance.
