When you use his special, he will become captain for 2 turns. Moreover, he will give a 1.3 additional boost and 30% damage reduction. That makes a boost 2.25 x 1.3 = 2.925 for strikers and drivens, almost as good as a legend.

So, I guess he can help for a striker/driven team for a burst round, especially if you bring a 2xATK + 2xHP like Aokiji. The HP bonus helps for the first stages until the boss. Then, you swap and will get higher damage output than you would with a simple 2xATK.
