Notes:

A solid PSY beatstick, but nothing more. The fact that he changes his captain slot to PSY is a double-edged sword, given that it is not what you want on teams like G3/LL - through the odds are you will run RaidDoffy and can reorder your slots. Surprisingly, he doesn't work well with PSY legends, since his cost is bad for Sengoku, and Shanks doesn't need his orbs. So... usable for G3/LL teams when dealing with INT opponents, but hardly needed for anything.

He can work with TM Zoro/Sanji, but is the worst out of a multitude of other options (Tesoro, 6+ Shanks, V2 Kuzan, etc)
