In a time where the powerful Devil Fruits can make any common man a master warrior, there is little sign of actual, pure and simple skill. Humans, left untainted by these fruits and other skills, instead picking up arms and training their asses off to better themselves constantly. This phenomenon, known simply as "Hard Work", is what can make a simple man, like Roronoa Zoro for example, an incredible warrior in no time.
Depending on bounty, a human (non-devil fruit) will be at the following level of physical fitness.
These described rates are an example of the ideal human. However, in following with the Ranking system of the forum, it would be nearly impossible to attain these levels normally. Because each person's focus is different, they only apply to part of each description. For example, Roronoa Zoro's current bounty would place him at this point.
The strength description clearly fits Zoro's strength. However, he is not nearly that fast or accurate, because his main source of power is in Strength ranks. If Usopp had that sort of bounty, however, he would clearly fit in with the accuracy section's description, because he would have no doubt invested most of his rank points in accuracy.
Depending on bounty, a human (non-devil fruit) will be at the following level of physical fitness.
0 Beli: Try not to hurt yourself getting out of bed.
100 Beli: You have the skills of the average adult male fatass.
5,000 Beli: You're about as strong, fast and accurate as a grown man.
10,000 Beli: You're a bit ahead of the competition, but not by much. You can lift your own weight without much work, and you can run at a decent speed.
50,000 Beli: You're a pretty good athlete. Able to lift about your weight and twenty-five pounds more, it's clear that you've worked out in the past. You can also run at a good speed for awhile.
100,000 Beli: You're pretty strong, able to lift about two hundred pounds with ease. You can also run at a speed of nearly fifteen miles per hour for over a mile. Your accuracy is steadily improving as well.
500,000 Beli: Your speed and strength are practically doubled. You can lift over four hundreds pounds, and can run at about twenty miles per hour for two miles. Also, your aim is good enough that you can shoot down a bird in flight without a hitch.
10,000,000 Beli: Your everyday iron man. You can take one hell of a hit, and can easily lift about eight hundred pounds. You can run at a rate of twenty-five miles per hour for over five miles before you're out of juice, and you can shoot down a flying bird with a glance's time to aim.
50,000,000 Beli: Are you even human? You can easily lift almost a ton, and run at around thirty miles per hour for marathon distances. You could shoot someone in the eye and go straight through the pupil, without even concentrating.
100,000,000 Beli: You've gotten this far without touching a Devil Fruit, which shouldn't even be possible. So much for that. You can now lift two tons easily, and your strikes are powerful enough to kill an average man in a couple of hits. You can run at about thirty-five miles per hour for over thirty miles, and can sprint at almost forty-five. Aim? Aim is for humans. You can shoot-and hit-on intuition, or as close to it as possible.
500,000,000 Beli: You're beyond description. You can easily lift five tons, run at forty mph speeds and sprint at sixty mph, and can shoot someone just by wanting to (not really). Please, just go home and stop killing us all.
1,000,000,000 Beli: Beyond a god. You can lift ten tons, run at practically sixty and sprint at nearly seventy, and can kill a yak from a hundred yards away. WITH MIND BULLETS!!! We might as well start digging our own graves.
