One Piece Chapter 1178 is out now! This is Page 4 of One Piece 1178, click or swipe the image to go to Page 1 of the manga. The story is reaching a critical stage, and fans are eagerly waiting to see what happens next. I totally get where you're coming from! It is so easy to misjudge the "Weakling Trio" if you forget just how insane the New World really is compared to where they started. You have a really solid argument here about their character development.
Here is a rewritten version that cleans up the grammar, improves the flow, and gives your argument a bit more punch while keeping your passionate, conversational tone intact:

I loved that recent Usopp moment, but I really hope it isn't the only one we get this arc. I know I might be getting a little greedy here! Even though he isn't in my top half of favorite Straw Hats (I still love all of them, with Franky sitting at number 9), I don’t want his big Elbaf moment to be limited to just that one scene in the chapter. While it was cool, it wasn't completely new for him; Usopp has always shown bravery when it comes to protecting the crew, even way back pre-timeskip.
His "cowardice" makes perfect sense when you step back and look at his timeline. He spent years just playing pirates with three little kids on a peaceful island that rarely saw any real danger. Just a few months later, he was part of a crew taking down Warlords and declaring war on the World Government!
Honestly, the Weakling Trio aren't actually cowards—they're just "normal." Or, at least, as normal as Straw Hats can be.
Usopp and Chopper: Unlike their freak-of-nature captain, these two are literally just kids who went out to sea for the very first time in their lives.
Nami: While she did have real pirating experience before joining, look at who she is standing next to. The other six members have all faced and accepted death before: Zoro nearly died by firing squad; Sanji was stranded and starved as a kid; Franky was thrown into the sea by his parents and later jumped in front of a speeding train; Jinbe stood on business against Big Mom and the World Government; and then you have Brook and Robin's incredibly dark pasts. Compared to the rest of the non-rookies, she is by far the most normal.
As far as I'm concerned, every single Straw Hat especially the Weakling Trio were already brave warriors long before they ever set foot on Elbaf. I just want a moment in this arc where the trio finally accepts that about themselves. It doesn't even have to be a massive combat "W" like everyone else is begging for; I just want them to have a definitive, personal victory that proves it to themselves.
