To be honest, I was scrolling around and found this. This is a very good question. Peronaâs ability is to incapacitate her foes by inflicting one to be pessimistic about one self. Itâs most likely the case she could, if you realistically think about it. The fact that she could cause explosive damage as well, itâs a very unique trait and whatâs more damaging other than physical damage? Oneâs own mentality, so the stronger the will, the stronger the effect and chance of infliction.
If you really think about it, itâs a terrifying power. Doing damage on the inside in the control center. If you can already tell, in the Thriller Bark arc, the only time is when the effect of her abilities doesnât work on people who are already pessimistic about themselves. Like Usopp for instance,
When Usopp said âIâm Already Negative!â was because he was already struggling the doubt of his abilities. Meaning, Peronaâs reliance of rendering her foes helpless was practically thrown out of the picture because of Usopp. Remember, Back then, Usopp was more of a coward than he is now. He practically doubted himself 24/7 believing he was too weak to serve an actual purpose among his crew but with the growing confidence he is gaining through the time of the New World. Iâm pretty sure if the two were to cross, the results of what took place back in thriller bark would be a whole new level.
You must take note that during the timeskip, Perona did help with training and after the timeskip, it indicates that she clearly had gotten stronger.
Perona Clearly no longer needs to leave her body to float or even fly anymore. Back in Thriller Bark, She had to leave her body to even accomplish levitation but you can safely assume if she can do this, she no longer has to leave her body at all for the majority of activating her abilities. Since now, she can be easily spotted with Observation Haki and it was a partial reason why she stepped up her game in the New World.
So to the people who say âShe mustâve been very weak to be defeated by Usoppâ
Thatâs where youâre clearly, very wrong. By One Piece Standards, Perona was very strong. Not physically but very potent in rendering her opponents useless by targeting the mentality of the mind. Usopp himself, back then wasnât necessarily weak he just wasnât brave to take a stand and really didnât know how to fight. Now for tough opponents like Doflamingo status, her devil fruit isnât necessarily useless against people strong as that. If we had more show of her, Iâm pretty sure Oda would have an answer for that and I believe why she has ghosts that self destruct so itâs not one sided to her abilities. The Hollow-Hollow Fruit (Horo Horo no mi) when one is a Ghost being, and like all devil fruits. Weâve only seen a fraction of what they can do unless the user can fully unlock itâs potential.
Sheâs definitely canât take on people with long range attacks, and obviously canât take on people like Doflamingo but itâs not a stretch for her to become a Warlord herself (She definitely has earned that title now) due the nature of her abilites.
So where does she ranks? if there was more information to her, itâs anyoneâs guess.
