Oda post timeskip bad writting ruined usopp and Many other characters

Analyzing one piece writting

Since haki began get introduced i fell like oda battle choreography went down the trash.

Usopp aint a power house indeed but he is the guy whose strenght lay in being handy and resourceful,from building weapons to preparing(building the kabuto,is battle against luffy) and seeking an enemy weakness(using salt bullet against oars and zombies) and helping when needed most(shoot spandam to Save nico Robin)

Usopp is supposed be a goldmine of ideas for fight and hold the ground against the enemy of the straw hats with his weapons, traps, critical thinking, deceit. Oda simply dont because he is cleary avoiding use his brain as every battle is a goddamn haki clash, shit. Even a non canon movie moggs the garbage we got rn(see Z movie the scene there luffy was fist fighting with zephyr is peak asf).

TL DR:oda is an awful lazy writer unable to think a better combat choreography outside characters screaming and punching each other with haki+ epilepsy inducing lights, hence why usopp who is the straw hat batman have been reduced to being jar jar binks.
