i always figured admirals were somewhere between yonko commander and yonko level, give or take. i feel like if the marines had four yonko level fighters, plus their world-government funded fleet, plus CP0, plus the warlords (or seraphim), they wouldn't have been shitting themselves over big mom and kaido teaming up. hell, i'd say they would have taken over the new world by now edit: i also wanted to mention their performance at marineford. whitebeard had a big fleet, but if the admirals were all yonko level, i really dont think whitebeard's fleet would've performed nearly as well as it did. especially because whitebeard was probably the weakest of the yonko during marineford. his only working haki was armament haki, and he was taking damage from sword strikes and gunshots. his devil fruit was the strongest in the world, yeah, but he was really restricted in how he could use it during marineford because he didn't wanna hit his own allies. even with those restrictions, while severely damaged, he dealt akainu some serious damage. akainu was able to blow half his face off, yeah, but whitebeard was extremely nerfed and damaged by that point. if akainu was as strong as big mom or kaido, he would've packed whitebeard up with no trouble at all

[@teachmehowtofreeze2849]

Admirals had to hold back so they don't destroy the island. As an admiral, they have tons of restrictions that don't allow them to go all out especially in government islands.

[@KingKosuu]

We've seen the Admirals against Yonko caliber characters and they all have good showings, they're no where near commander level

[@MasquedMocha]

@@KingKosuu i said they're somewhere between commander and yonko level, which side of the spectrum they lean toward probably depends on the admiral. The only one we've gotten to see have a 1v1 is kizaru, and while his showings against luffy and rayleigh are good, you could argue that luffy's stamina problems hold him back from actually being yonko level (kaido could outlast him a dozen times over despite luffy being as strong and fast as him). We just haven't seen enough of the admirals to clock exactly where they are. Like, you could probably argue that kizaru is the same level as akainu since they're both OG admirals and we haven't seen akainu do anything outside marineford yet (but for some reason people glaze the shit out of him anyway). There's not much evidence to say one way or the other. I personally think they're generally somewhere between commander and yonko level (stronger than commander but weaker than yonko) and ive explained why. Once we get to see more of the admirals, that might change. But for now, i don't see the admirals ALL being yonko level (i think akainu probably is, but again, no proof yet)

[@trop1kill]

@@KingKosuu I don't he means they are close to commanders he's just saying they are the in-between I think which does kinda make sense why would you have 3 yonko level fighters plus the fleet admiral Imo akainu and kuzan are fleet admiral level which is like the equivalent of a yonko. But the 3 admirals are one of the main reasons the governments maintain the current power balance cause they are stronger than commanders with only some 1st commanders coming close. The marines don't realistically need 4 yonko level fighters

This debate never made any sense to me. Admirals are relative to yonkos. The narrative shows it, the portrayel shows it, and in egghead, even then feats/statements show it.

[@oinkyshploinky]

It can't be generalized. Admirals are relative to some Yonkos, and above some Yonkos. Right now they're confidently above all the new Yonkos (Luffy, BB, buggy), but against the rest it's pretty mixed and goes from relative to below to above depending on which Yonko.

[@johnmeehan7884]

​@@oinkyshploinky above Luffy? The same Luffy who goofied Kizaru, who is stronger than the rest except Akainu? Keep up, goofatron.

[@oinkyshploinky]

@@johnmeehan7884 yes. Above Luffy. There was no goofying of Kizaru. We know Kizaru was mentally nerfed during the entire mission due to not wanting to kill Vegapunk (Confirmed when he says his wounds "run deep" despite him not having any physical wounds, clearly referring to mental wounds) (and mental nerfs are repeatedly confirmed to be a real thing that can highly hinder your power in One Piece), yet he still kept up with a G5 Luffy trying to knock him out. Even then, we know G5 couldn't knock him out, because Oda confirmed it was Kizaru who fed Luffy back to life after he gassed out meaning the WSG did minimal damage to him (a WSG that was more powerful than the one that stunned Kaido). Kizaru literally wanted Luffy to win and stop him, yet he still couldn't, cause in the end Kizaru still reaches Vegapunk and kills him. This is backed up by what we see- Kizaru, instead of being knocked out after taking the WSG right to the face, just lays on the ground with his hand on his face as if he just got his heart broken, not as if he just ate an attack that would threaten even the most durable Yonko, which is absolutely insane since he has no reason being as durable as Kaido. Regardless, he took the attack and proceeded to feed Luffy ramen as if nothing happened. Funnily enough, this is also an absolutely ridiculous speed feat. Nobody noticed Kizaru feeding Luffy the food despite there being Sanji, Zoro and Saturn in the area. The Sanji that perception blitzed Queen and is probably top 4 fastest characters we know of got perception blitzed himself to an even greater degree by Kizaru, since Kizaru didn't just feed Luffy but carried him to a safer spot away from the marine soldiers. Saturn, Zoro and Sanji were completely incapable of seeing him do all of this, meaning Kizaru is by FAR the fastest character in the verse if he's trying and it's not close, literal leagues beyond everyone else including Luffy and every other Yonko. So yes, that Luffy is below Kizaru, and the rest of the OG admirals at minimum. Make them fight again, but make Kizaru actually try to win and don't let him feed Luffy, and it's a wash. Luffy will not be able to land something like Bajrang Gun whereas every other move he has will not knock out Kizaru quick enough even if he just sits still and takes all of it. Luffy gases out before he can knock out Kizaru, then Kizaru kills him. Kuzan should scale relative to Kizaru in general fighting ability since they're both OG admirals, and we know he also scales confidently above Garp and possibly equal to Prime Garp (and in some stats he scales above). Akainu obviously should scale above Kizaru in everything except speed. The new admirals vs Luffy is debatable, tho I won't argue for them. Just assuming they lose.

[@amansharma4358]

[@crimsonfire6932]

@@bensylver5113nobody except for rob lucci was decisively defeated in egghead. It was an escape arc, not a fight to the death arc. Luffy escaped therefore he succeeded. The Gorosei failed because they let vegapunk say his piece and everyone escaped. Though due to regeneration I doubt you could actually kill them no matter how overwhelmingly you overpower them. Kizaru begrudgingly did his duty and took an opportunity to give up the fight. Kizaru was hesitant to kill vegapunk, not necessarily to hurt luffy or any of his allies. Luffy fended off Kizaru successfully, even though he fought at the disadvantage of protecting his crew from a guy that was waaaaay faster than him. He also simultaneously fought Saturn, whom was definitely not holding back. How did this end up? Luffy simultaneously pizza diffed Kizaru and Saturn, resulting in Kizaru giving up and crying on the floor and Saturn calling for reinforcements. The Gorosei are more relative to yonko than the average admirals. Only fleet admiral level characters (current akainu, current Kuzan, garp, sengoku) are actually relative to yonkos. Kizaru, fujitora, and greenbull are not getting past luffy or Blackbeard in 1v1 death matches. I’d personally put any Gorosei above Kizaru who is currently the strongest admiral. The younger yonko like luffy and Blackbeard are extreme diffing either way with Warcury. Fleet admiral akainu is probably relative to kaido.

Somehow people will say kizaru carrying the consequences of his actions is more of a nerf than kaido carrying a whole island

[@kenerb654]

isn’t the reason Whitebeard didn’t/wouldn’t use his Quake fruit versus Roger because every scuffle they’ve had being a crew battle? Whitebeard can’t afford to go all out with his Quakes without risking damaging the surrounding area, the treasure/spoils they fight for, and his crew mates also on the island. Sure their haki clashes were grandiose and shook the island in the anime, but the Quakes would’ve definitely sunk everyone including WB himself if he went all out. That’s why someone who doesn’t know any better with the fruit will cause way more damage than good. Now put them in an isolated 1v1 scenario where none of his family and terrain is in danger, I think WB would use his fruit versus Roger and overtake him proving he’s the strongest. basically i’m saying WB tied with Roger while nerfed (Roger was sick/nerfed yea sure) but that’s just how I interpret it. WB > Roger but it just couldn’t be shown to us, we get roger bowing to WB pleading for Oden instead which says enough imo.

admirals are underrated

[@crazagres1839]

This debate was always interesting to me, since it really only exists "outside" the story. One Piece itself has always been extremely clear about the answer. Yonko are stronger - no questions asked. There is not a single point in the story where an Admiral and a Yonko fight and the admiral comes out even in "ok shape", nor managing to stall the Yonko. They always without a shadow of a doubt lose. Old Whitebeard, despite being mid-heart attacks practically kills the strongest admiral with Two attacks.(This is the guy who then has a 10 day fight with another Admiral.) None of the Admirals have the capacity to kill Kaidou during his capture.(which kinda adds up since we know Kaidou can swim in magma and be just fine for a prolonged time period.) Greenbull actually gets wifi haki diffed and surrenders on the spot. Kizaru gets One shot twice, and is literally a side-character who gets thrown out of a fight he isn't strong enough to be in.(People forget that luffy had to be heavily nerfed by going through the barrier twice, which he himself says nearly killed him for the first round to be even a fight.) Hell, the most damning thing to me isn't even those honestly, but the story treats them weak enough that one of the Admirals.. one basically Dead-Even with Akainu becomes a Henchman for Blackbeard. BB just casually has an admiral working for him, and this isn't going to have any effects on the final arc. Think about that. But yeah it's interesting since the "debate" - as I said only exists outside of the verse. Both actual fights and narrative portrayal have always made it crystal clear that Admiral have absolutely not a snowballs chance in hell with a Solo fight against a Yonko. Even at the intrudction of the concept it took the Warlords, Navy and the World Goverment to just equal the Yonkos as a wide-reaching power.

[@kfc-employee1380]

1. It really depends. Oda constantly makes them relative. Whenever he talks about being 'strongest' he mentions both Admirals and Emperors. Chinjao speech, and Oda's own words about becoming strongest, means having to beat BOTH Admirals and Emperors (When he talked about Bullet character in Stampede Volume) 2. Kizaru vs WB. Borsalino Injured Newgate while Edward couldn't even injure him. Also, basically every Admiral encounter at Marineford was in favor of them against WB. Borsalino left wound, Akainu despite being caught off-guard, overall did more damage to WB than, he recieved. Only Kuzan didn't had a clean hit BUT would've if Jozu wasn't there to stop him. 3. Practically kills? Doubt it. Sakazuki was just out of battlefield for a moment. He was bleeding? So was Kaido after fighting Yamato. What matter is that Akainu literally got up and showed to not feel any damage afterwards, and clashed with all Division Commanders (Minus Jozu) and managed to get through them. Sakazuki's magma by vaporizing steel proves his Magma > Regular one. Aramaki left because he was overwhelmed. He isn't throwing hands with One Emperor to just get to another one. He would be badly Injured (Though I do think that Shanks would win that 1v1), so chasing SPECIFICALLY a exhausted Emperor would be even bigger problem. People close eye on the fact that Aramaki KNEW it was Shanks haki which either means he faced him or felt him with observation through Island. He also said he isn't gonna fight him YET. Kizaru was hinted by Oda to be the one who fed Luffy. He could easily finish down Luffy, but decided to perception blitz everyone and just get him food and go back to acting he is 'wounded'. Meaning that After G5 ACOC attack he was fine. Saying that Luffy was nerfed because he was KICKED by Kizaru through barrier but ignoring that Borsalino was mentally nerfed WHICH by logic nerfs someone's Haki as it is connected to WILL of person, is also another example of closing eye on something. 4. The story also nearly made Borsalino go handle the Big Mom/Kaido situation and Sakazuki his superior didn't even corrected him. Kuzan also is in BB's crew for his own reasons which was the one of main things that made him to join when Teach mentioned that everyone is there for their own things. Teach himself wasn't even confident in facing him. And being under someone isnt really argument. There are examples of groups/organizations in One Piece, where character works under someone and is STRONGER than the leader. Even hierarchy wise in BB's crew, Shiryu despite being weaker was choosed by Oda to be right-hand man. 5. Oda gave Admirals bounty of 3b which is close to Emperors overall. Sure, Law and Kid also have it. But they beated Emperor just like Luffy. Bounty scaling is odd, but I bring that up as more of 'symbolism' here. Admirals all have 3b, which makes them same wanted as Emperors (Luffy, Blackbeard's old bounty when be was Emperor) and slayers of emperor. And add to that Akainu being worth 5b, which is 3rd highest bounty in series, which puts him in range of Pirate King and the man that was one of two rivals of pirate king bounty wise.

[@crazagres1839]

@@kfc-employee1380 1. Oda has never made them relative in his life. The Admirals are a Milestone. They're obvioulsy important - but from the very introduction of the Yonko Oda made it Crystal clear that these forces weren't equal. The World government, the Navy and the Warlords only together were an Equal - To the Yonko. The warlords were a Required Piece - to do so. If the Admirals were relative to the Yonko this wouldn't be the case, as the Yonko don't fight together and you could easily take them out one by one.(As all three admirals are indeed on one side of the conflict.) 2. This is a complete meme tier argument and you lost a lot of credibility just by making it. WB was dying - and Borsanilo was running away - for his life. What, you wanna make the argument that Kizaru(who got one shot by a fresh Yonko multiple times, and then was just thrown out of the fight with someone stronger, by the same fresh Yonko.) is so much stronger than Akainu that he could beat him without ever getting touched ? Akainu is the strongest Admiral. Even by Marineford. That is literally why he's the Fleet Admiral - Kizaru was never even considered for the position. Kizaru played hit and run - and whitebeard was not moving around to dodge anything during the entire arc. What Kizaru did to him was a paper cut to the damage he had taken over the arc. 3. "Curse you whitebeard...!!!" - Falls down a ravine and is literally physically paralyzed to the point he can't stop himself from slowly sliding down. He grabs a ledge and climbs onto it at the Last moment to prevent his death. If he falls into the water, he is dead and currently out of the story. The cope here is only making you look worse - Nobody of a sane mind would Ever even propose that Akainu was just "uhm, slightly hurt" - no he literally was done. He vomits blood and literally can't move for a prolonged time period. Green Bull was forced to transform back - out of his logia form and was in legit pain from Shanks ranged haki. That's not in any question, it happens on screen and panel, and you can see the pain on his face. He himself said he wouldn't have gone to Wano if Kaidou was still around as well - he just cannot fight any Yonko. You'll have to accept that. Kizaru feeding luffy is completely irrelevant. It doesn't make him be in fighting shape, so it remains a complete headcanon. You could still grab a plate of food even with a broken leg and a thousand bruises, it'd just suck. Especially irrelevant because he can make light clones and doesn't even have to move with his physical body to do it lmao. 4. And Luffy said he'd beat Big Mom before he legit had the ability to damage her or even endure a single attack from her. The story didn't do that - Luffy didn't even end up beating her. He just Said it. Same with Kizaru. Kizaru just Said he would. That doesn't mean he could. Why do you think the World Government considered making Kaidou angry a serious threat and causality they'll have to take, if Kizaru can just beat him ? It's inconsistent with the straight-up plot of OP. Also Kaidou beats G5 multiple times despite having fought for days, and Kizaru is literally collateral damage during Luffies fight with his actual opponent. Way to take what a character says as gospel lol. 5. Buggy has a bounty higher than any admiral right now. Are you entirely sure we're trying to go into the "Bounty means power" situation ?

[@kfc-employee1380]

@@crazagres1839 1. If Oda wouldn't care about them and just set them as milestone, whenever a term of being strongest/be pirate king, would be brought, he wouldn't make characters directly say that to achieve one of those goals, it is necessary to surpass both Admirals and Emperors. Simply Emperors would be enough if they were truly at level of their own. Even Oda said that himself in one of Stampede Volumes about Bullet and what IT means to be strongest, that Admirals just like Emperors are requirment to beat to be called strongest. IIRC, Databook green said that Navy + Warlords = 4 Emperors. You have 3 Admirals + Mihawk vs 4 Captains. Rest of Warlords are comparable to Commanders, and that still isn't equal (6 warlords vs at least 12 notable commanders). Outside Admirals and FA, Marines aren't having strong fighters (Besides maybe Tokikake and Gion.) And they still replaced Warlords with Seraphims who outside being durable (Lunarian Durability) aren't much more impressive than their original counter-parts as for now. 2. I don't really get what you meant in this point with Akainu and Kizaru. Sakazuki is strongest Admiral no doubt. Never meant he isn't. What I meant is that Kizaru managed to land a hit against Newgate. Also when was Kizaru running away? It was Edward who engaged into battle with him by trying to stop him. WB despite having chance was unable. Which counters your whole point that 'Never in series, Admiral was fine after fighting Emperor'. Kizaru was fine. Akainu was wounded by in better shape than heavily wounded WB who missed half of face and had two massive holes in himself which was making him bleed quite a lot. Kuzan would deal damage if not interrupted by Jozu. 3. He was done? Then I suppose 'done' and 'nearly killed' Akainu can get through all remaining division commanders + Crocodile like It's nothing. Never said Sakazuki wasn't Injured. He was. But saying he was nearly dead when AFTER short time when he came back he literally showed no signs of even being affected other than blood. Sure he was paralyzed. Also, you said yourself that It would be water that would kill him (Unknown if there was water at the bottom IIRC but sure). Not WB but water in your opinion. And still, you use THIS to downscale Sakazuki but you're bringing up that Luffy was Injured by barrier when Kizaru kicked him, as a nerf to Luffy and not a feat for Borsalino. 'cope' you say. As for Akainu showing reaction. So did Kaido when Scabbards (Outside 3 of them, rest aren't beating commander) stabbed him. He was screaming and sweating. In fact even characters like Zoro without Ashura got Kaido to show reaction. Even kid with Simple toss got reaction from Kaido. Law got Kaido to yell by simple rocks. Sure, I suppose you can say Aramaki got his Logia form out and was paralyzed by Shanks Haki. His Devil Fruit Powers were up for a while still after this. He felt that sure. But again, simple 'woah' or 'dahh' is better than Kaido screaming from sharp rocks with clear pain. Aramaki was sweating, but again doubt that he would be sassy if he would be fully outclassed. If Aramaki would fight Shanks (Assuming he would ward off him, (though as I said I do think that Shanks would win a 1v1 between them)) he would be heavily Injured and making his mission to get Straw-Hat pointless. He came for Luffy not for a fight with full healthy Emperor. This is literally same as Teach being worried and deciding to leave when Old Rayleigh appeared. But I guess we only care that Ryokugyu is admiral which is why we downplay only him. Besides, I do have OG Emperors being closer to OG Admirals, while the New Emperors (Current Luffy and Teach) are relative to New Admirals (Aramaki, Isshou). But I can see this as anti-feat at the end of day. Just like Luffy being saved by Kizaru but eh. Kizaru literally had energy to perception blitz everyone, get food, deliver it to Luffy and make him recover with it. If he had ENERGY for that, a simple laser to finish off Luffy isn't problem. If Borsalino would be badly injured, I don't see him being up and going with his mission/task. He was acting to be out of breath, but the fact is that he was concious and had energy to fight. 'making light clones'. If he would have strength for that, I don't see him not having strength to finish off Luffy who was out of stamina. But sure buddy. Head-canon. 4. Oh, so a cocky main character that doesn't have any idea of the gap between him and her, that basically nearly always overestimate himself is same as a fully experienced marine that at this point knows how strong Emperors are, and knows when to not act stupidly/on impulse when on worse position is same? Didn't knew that. Borsalino in vivre-card was said to adapt to a Gear 5 quickly because of his experience. Besides, simple fact that a statement from top-tier who aknowledge a strength of other top-tiers is more reliable than whatever a cocky character that is far behind the pinnacle of power in verse says. But I guess you find this exactly as same things. 'why do you considered making Kaido angry a serious threat..' And somehow Akainu literally ignored the threat of two emperors joining forces knowing this will cause them to rebel and more troublesome to keep on leash, by leaving everything in hands of 'samurai'. Not to mention, that 4 Emperors system does benefit WG than simply erasing them. They COULD do it if they wanted, considering how many fighters WG and Navy alone has that can fight the respective captains. Saturn send out Kizaru at Egghead knowing Luffy, a person with really strong fruit and person that take down Kaido is there and will probably fight back. That kinda bites itself with whole 'not make Kaido angry' thing. Kaido only outlasted initial Gear 5, and dominated him for a short moment. Full health Kaido would beat Luffy no doubt. However, Kizaru had upper-hand against Luffy/G4 Luffy and had him to use Gear 5 to actually fight with him. And still Kizaru outlasted him and had chance to finish him. I'm not gonna go with the whole 'Luffy used ACOC or didn't used'. Oda even in fight against Kaido not always included 'black lightnings' when ACOC attacks were used by both characters when after Luffy learned it, and the damage was same as when the lightning was. In fact, Oda literally didn't even drew Gear 5 attack being coated in Busoshoku and still it was supposed to damage Kizaru. Kizaru and Gear 5 Luffy power-wise are close, and I'm giving Borsalino a slight edge compared to Current Luffy. 5. Didn't meant the 'bounty = strength'. I included it in previous comment but maybe I came with wrong words or whatever. But Buggy having that bounty isn't destroying my argument, as he is seen as Emperor. But my bad then if I used wrong words earlier. What I meant, is that oda makes Admiral have similiar bounty as Emperors or characters that beated one. And the fact that he made Sakazuki have 5b bounty when he could just simply make it lower for Admirals and adjust Sakazuki to have it lower as well. But he didn't. Also your point here also attacks your own argument that you didn't answered about Kuzan being weak because he is commander of other Emperor. Both Kuzan and Mihawk serve under Teach/Buggy because they benefit. With Kuzan it is even more complex as he has his own agenda. But again, there are more examples where hierarchy =/= power. 6. Also, in newest vivre-cards it is said that mentally nerfed Kuzan fought against Garp who had same strength as when he had when he was chasing Roger. Odd statement, but again a way to say/show that Admirals and Emperors are comparable.

[@crazagres1839]

@@kfc-employee1380 So much yap to say basically nothing. Most of the points here are outright Self-Evidently wrong, and were a waste to even type out. Next time you attempt to debate, try to consider the points of others and maybe realize that sometimes,your opinion was just wrong. 1. Assuming author intent is a just a fallacy so there's almost nothing here worth responding to. The only point I'll even bring up is "Navy + Warlords = 4 Emperors. You have 3 Admirals + Mihawk vs 4 Captains." Like.. no ? Lol. If it was only Mihawk - the system would've been abolished long ago, and they'd just have him on payroll. It is not the navy and Mihawk is equal to the emperors..! Its the navy / wg and All of the Shichibukai equaling the Pirates. The other ones are needed as well - this is directly stated. Your personal headcanon is worthless here entirely. It's not even internally consistent, as the Admirals would just team up to wipe out the Yonko one by one. 2. Do you know who else managed to land a hit against whitebeard ? Fodder marine number #76 who jumped at him with a sword. If you noticed- he's not dodging. He knows this is his last fight, he legit doesn't care. He can tank anything these people can throw at him, and he has. Never in the series was an admiral fighting an emperor on even ground, unless you consider fodder marine 76# feat admiral level I guess and "fighting a Yonko on equal ground..!" He performed the same and ended the same way( having to move away for one reason or another.) 3. Akainu was nearly dead. Nothing you say will ever change the explicit canon here. He quietly literally couldn't even move his hand enough - after vomiting blood to save himself from dying.(He had no way of knowing if there was a ledge he could grab if he fell down down.) As far as he knew - that was his end. And it legit would've been, had he not gotten lucky with a ledge. It's a completely undeniable scene - and a major plot point in and of itself. It's what allowed the main character to survive and the story to take place. No amount of cope will ever change this. 4. Yes welcome to one piece, not so happy to have you. Kizaru acts cocky even when he's in the shitter. That's his literal entire character. Benn Beckman was one trigger-pull away from ending his life and he was still pretty chill. Kizaru's overconfidence and always chill attitude is part of what makes him fun, and enjoyable to read about. Kizaru would get clowned by Kaidou with 0 diff, though not for lack of trying. Akainu didn't ignore anything. It was Wano - what they could do was very, very limited at the time and he's not the guy in charge, that's the elders who he Works for as a subordinate. Enraging Kaidou could lead to a war much worse than the one with Whitebeard. If you try arguing things like this, do give the manga a read, clears up a lot of your confusion. The Elders - who are stronger than Any Admiral by a mile - were scared of Kaidou's rampage. One of them is so strong that Luffy can't even penetrate their basic armamanet Haki btw and it hurts his hand to hit them. Sure didn't see that from Kizaru. Kaidou has quite literally brawled through 2 G5s, after fighting an entire war. Kizaru doesn't outlast him at all. What are you talking about ? Kizaru Loses their first round. He gets close for sure - the reasoning behind which is explained directly in the manga. Luffy nearly dies - which he himself states - by going through the light barrier(which doesn't harm Kizaru.) twice. That's the reason. Kizaru loses basically the moment Round 2 starts, despite having an immortal elder to draw the attention away from him. 5. You did, you mentioned they got "big bounties and therefor important..!" Newsflash - never been the case. Kidd had a bounty of 3 billion(equal to your precious admirals.) and he's out of the story now lmao. A Big bounty just means the WG wants you out of the picture. They're only meant to be a legit progression for the Strawhats who "earn" it if you will. In most cases, my guy a bounty is just a bounty. A cheap hype tool at most. Kidd had a higher one than Luffy over just attacking civilians. Kuzan is a subordinate. I don't know if you've read OP... but Mihawk doesn't Actually work for Buggy as much as its a meme. They just use him as a "face" - to do what they want through. They literally bully and disrespect him non-stop. Kuzan Works for Blackbeard. Not the same thing.

[@kfc-employee1380]

@@crazagres1839 And that is because...? I answered all your points. Unlike you who skipped some of mine when you didn't had a way to counter them/answer them. But typical 'debating' situation where other person just being overwhelmed decides to attack other way instead showing counter-arguments. You played yourself. 'consider points of others' mate, that line described your whole comments. But sure buddy. Keep going with your own way of thinking and totally not understanding the story itself. 1. Author words is fallacy? Sure keep thinking that. Oda himself stated something and that is what matters. Unless you know the series better than him, then both of your comments are pointless and literally waste of time both for you and me. It was Navy + Emperors. Not WG. So, Navy + Warlords = 4 Emperors (Basically Crews and allies). Keep your points at least right. 'if it was only Mihawk', somehow two of the original warlords got beated by Pre-TS Luffy, and every other warlord was surpassed at WCI based on their showings. It was just recent when Oda made Hancock bounty raise, and that's all. But even not counting her, the rest literally aren't getting past 1YC characters. Kuma, Doflamingo, Jinbei. For navy you can argue about Old Garp and Sengoku being there, but Admirals should be stronger than them at that time. So again, your point is dismissed. Seems like your 'opinion' isn't the one that is right as well huh. Ah. The typical 'If Admirals would be relative they would team up to beat..' like, what? If Emperors would be stronger than Navy they would just team up and then rule the seas by themselves. They don't know about WG fighters or anything. This is the most basic and literally one of the most ridiculous argument that is used and you just proved to be that PERSON. Congrats. 'Warlords are needed', they were supposed to be needed. But Oda clearly just didn't thought about power-scaling them right for the story, as again Warlords aren't doing much to Emperors themselves. Even at Marineford nearly none of them did something special. At the end, keep in mind that WG has benefits of having Emperors around. But that probably is too much for you to even get. One important note is that Navy had to hold back to keep their Island as a symbol of theirs (Sengoku, Kizaru, Sakazuki all had moments when they literally wanted to make Island survive as much as it can) meanwhile Jinbei says to Luffy, that Newgate can go all out as his crew is adapted to his fighting style. 2. You know what else is diffrent? Whitebeard actually was fighting against Kizaru. While I don't recall him trying to hit and not being able to a mentioned fodder marine. But sure. Reading comprehension isn't your strong side, I get it. But to actually miss the basic logic is something worth to be in awe. Also, don't back up on your initial point that Admirals were never fine after fight against Emperor. The only fights you have in series like this (shown) are 3 Admirals vs WB (Each individually) and Aramaki vs Shanks. And somehow the former were able to overwhelm Newgate. Again, can't back up your claims. Don't get into debates then. 'never Admiral fought on equal ground'. Sure. Ignore the fact Kuzan would wound WB because he failed to stab him, Kizaru having upper-hand and Sakazuki actually doing more to Edward than he did to him. 3. He knew he was done? Way to try to put head-canon into reality bruh. Tell me IN WHAT panel he was shown to know he was done for? Unless you bring things out of your head, there isn't any single moment in Manga that shows this. If Sakazuki would be nearly dead, he wouldn't come back like nothing happend and proceed to clash with rest of Whitebeard pirates big shots and chase Luffy down. HOWEVER if you want to go with the 'Akainu was nearly done, because I said so!' we can stretch some showings such as ACTUAL 'nearly dead' Whitebeard getting actually done for by Blackbeard pirates, while SUPPOSED 'nearly dead' Akainu managed to get through Whitebeard's commanders and just continue his chase. Your logic isn't helping you. 'consider points of others', mate you're digging holes under yourself the more you try to prove that ONLY YOUR thinking is right when It's getting rejected by source.

[@FireAngelChris]

The 3 topics the community go over consistently all have answers to them. With the Shanks/Mihawk one being the closest. The Yonkos are stronger than the admirals.

[@UG3017]

Ah I respect you for leaving Buggy out so the admirals wont get completely annhilated in his mere prescene I respect you for that🗿

[@mstr293]

In defense to the Yonko: In terms of power, Mihawk should be the stand-in for Buggy as the latter is only "Yonko" by title. Despite sustaining lethal injuries, sickbeard still had energy to fight BB and his crew. Akainu was incapacitated for a while after WB's last attack on him. If he didn't fall off the rocks, do you think WB doesn't have the power to finish him off while he's down? Big Mom was NEVER seen going all out, EVER! She's nearing her 70's, the critical age where even stronger people like Garp and WB became weaker or at least lost a lot of stamina. She NEVER used ACoC and Ryou, more than one year of her lifespan vs Law and Kidd AND was only lost because thrown off Onigashima. When enemies go all out and lost, they are either exhausted or get KOed, with the white eyes. This never happened permanently with Big Mom. She was conscious when she fell and had the energy to finish both Law and Kidd if she didn't fall. Luffy only lost due to his time limit in Gear 5. Luffy NEVER SUSTAINED ANY REAL DAMAGE VS KIZARU WHILE KIZARU GOT ONE-SHOT 3X. Even if Kizaru was holding back, so did Luffy! He was never seen using ACoC vs the admiral, in which the admiral can't use either. No Ryou/internal destruction, no sky splits, no attacks that comes close to his Island-busting Bajarang Gun. Without the time limit, Luffy did more damage to Kizaru than Kizaru did to him. Unlike Garp who doesn't want to hurt Luffy during MF, Kizaru doesn't want to hurt Vegapunk! He has no reason to not try to hurt Luffy himself.

[@tmtsps12]

Stand proud, you can cook

[@mstr293]

Kaido NEVER went all out vs Gear 4 + ACoC Luffy as Luffy was already panting and one hit away from death while Kaido still has enough energy to fight Gear 5 despite wear-and-tear from fighting Luffy multiple times with many breaks and plot-related recoveries and resurrection, stalling and chip damaged from a dozen YC1 characters, and help from Guernica, Luffy would've still lost. Gear 5 is the only enemy Kaido is forced to use the Death Destroyer and Flaming Bagua. Shanks don't need any defense. Blackbeard idk yet but he'll surely be the most powerful in the final war.

Big Mom was held back by the story. In Whole Cake she was unstoppable, her entire crew couldn't deal with her, and Luffy and the gang had no chance of victory in a straight fight (even as a team. In Wano, Kaido had to be the primary antagonist, so she was forced to take a back seat and become a secondary antagonist. It's also worth noting that Kid and Law only won by ring out, as she clearly had more fight left in her. Big Mom is definitely the weakest Yonko, but a lot of people underestimate her.

I think Oda made Blackbeard super satisfying to me. The man fully admits that rather than decrease damage his Darkness Devil Fruit actually makes it worst. BUT the fact he has one of the most useful auxillery abilities in being able to steal devil fruits and build a crew of devil fruit users and is for a non-SH character consistently talked up for just his toughness and unusual body is cool. It makes him feel like a bad guy because unlike Big Mom or Kaido our man Blackbeard is more than willing to let his crew step in if he is struggling making him feel more despicable and cowardly than any other yonko at the same time the man is ambitious, ruthless and paitent showing a mind more meticulous than his outwardly Luffy level dumb persona gives off.

I think we just need to stop saying “… level” and instead focus on individuals, Akainu beats most Yonko’s but Fujitora loses to most Yonko’s, Primebeard beats most admirals but Bigmom loses to most admirals for example, it’s also been pretty clear from the start that Greenbull and Fujitora are naturally weak for admirals since they were both recruited bc 2 admirals just disappeared with Akainu being promoted and Aokiji leaving the marines, id even go as far to say that I think Akainu or Aokiji (maybe Kizaru but less likely) could beat Fujitora and Greenbull at once

I always love it when ppl say Whitebeard snuck up on Akainu. the dying old geezer literally wobbled to him... even npc marines saw him coming. if the great Sakazuki couldnt even dodge that, he's only that level.

[@mstr293]

Akainu was saved when he was incapacitated from Sickbeard's final attack on him due to him falling with the rocks. Sickbeard also had the energy to fight BB and his crew later. If he didn't fall down, WB would've incapacitated Akainu even more. Kizaru NEVER gave Luffy any real damage that KOed him. Luffy was literally eating his attacks in Gear 5. He only lost due to his time limit as Kizaru kept playing cat-and-mouse with him. Luffy can't even use ACoC (Kizaru can't even use it), can't split the skies and Luffy doesn't need to use any attacks close in power to the Bajarang Gun as White Star Gun is more closer to his attack on Kaido in chapter 1042. Without the time limit and he fought Luffy head-on I doubt Kizaru stands a chance but to flee.

[@jikey173]

⁠@@mstr293 1. Whitebeard only even landed that when he sneaked akainu. Btw, whitebeard was enraged while akainu still had to hold back. On top of this, saying that akainu was saved because whitebeard just could have kept on attacking him if he didn’t fall in is a pure assumption. Who knows what would have happened in akainu didn’t fall in the ravine? He may have got up in time of whitebeard getting to him just like he did before. You can’t say akainu couldn’t get up or was knocked out since him being knocked out would mean he’d fall into the water in the ravine and die, and him not being able to stand up isn’t provable. This isn’t even the akainu people use to scale too. 2. Saying “Luffy only lost due to time limit” doesn’t make sense. He still lost. Kizaru had several nerfs on him and Luffy in context was going all out, and he pretty much lost. Time limit or not, he lost, it’s that simple.

[@Baxtermann]

One major issue I have in the yonko vs admiral debate is “ohhhh if the admirals were stronger, why would they need pacifista’s and warlord” the world governments goal is ruling the entire planet. The warlords are meant to counterbalance the fact that things can happen anywhere in the world and an admiral might not be there. The counterpoint of then why did they need them to fight just oldbeard? They’re on the payroll why not tell them to show up, save some of the admirals strength so no one gets injured, and they needed mihawk to keep vista busy for a while.

[@ansonchan8537]

if a single admiral is on average stronger than a single yonko, why not send off two to take care of the yonko? rinse and repeat and all the yonko are beat. you can easily defend home as you still have the fleet admiral and the other admiral, and if they recognise the threat and band together after the fact, its 3 yonko vs 3 admirals +fleet admiral and the marines have significantly more and there are vice admirals.

[@KurokamiNajimi]

@@borutolastshinobi1010 Explain how she doesn’t is the better question. Only way it even becomes a question is if you think Big Mom or Kaido (who she fought for at least a night) wouldn’t dominate MF WB. Me saying high diff is being nice due to inconsistent portrayal like how Vista was doing good against Mihawk or better Marco against Big Mom herself. She grabbed him but in the larger context of the fight it seemed the fight would be difficult without her full strength and we know Akainu is slightly ahead of Marco from MF portrayal. But at the same time maybe if it had gone on at full strength Marco would have gotten mid diffed. Marines sweat at the idea of 2 Yonko teaming up which doesn’t make much sense if 2 Admirals can beat Kaido or Big Mom. Their Commanders aren’t all that compared to WB and Shanks’ men takes 2 of them struggling to a victory based on Marco not going down 1v2 when they’re at full strength

This is how i rank admirals and yonko. Gb and fuji loosing to all other admirals and yonko (excluding buggy). Bm loosing to other emperors and og admirals.

From the weakest admiral to strongest admiral/yonko can be a high/extreme dif but other than that every matches is extreme diff.

Isn't stated that Ben Beckman is very close to Shanks in strength? And Zoro isn't many power ups away form yonko level. Saying that no commanders could beat and admiral just isn't true. It's at very least close.

[@LJustKidding]

Akainu vs WB was not close, every other admiral was absolutely styling on him before WB snuck Papazuki. He then proceeds to punch off half his face and put a hole in his stomach, while not even sustaining scars by the vengeful Yonko. Akainu was holding back not to destroy the island (we see what he's capable of doing to an island in PUNK HAZARD) and WB was sick, injured and old. The scrap between theme was mid diff in Akainu's favor and I believe that had they fought off the island and WB wasn't sick it'd be the same. A younger WB might be able to defeat the now Fleet Admiral but it'd be very close no matter who wins.

[@Someone2aswell]

Need that Roger vs WB

[@edibertocolon]

I split it into 3 sections old Yonko vs Original admirals and I got all old/original Yonkos above all admirals. Old White sick beard technically beat Akainu and that’s a weakened Beard. To me every other Yonko at the point was stronger than sick beard so if sick beard wins so does all other Yonko. Category 2 I believe everyone got weaker both new Yonkos and new admirals. So new Yonkos struggle vs Old admirals in the same way as the new admirals would get washed by old Yonkos. So now new vs new. New Yonkos vs new admirals and Luffy/Black Beard would wash the two newer admirals. The only ones who don’t apply or positions are Garp, buggy, and fleet admirals. Fleet to me is a higher level and can possibly take an old Yonko not all but maybe bigmom and that’s it. Garp is for the plot. And Buggy we all know is a fraud lol.

Average Yonko (Kaido, Big Mom) seems beyond average admiral (Issho, Aramaki). *However*, veteran admiral (Kizaru) are probably quite close or even equal, and then you have Marine Prodigy (Sakazuki, Kuzan, Garp, maybe Sengoku) who may very well be between average Yonko and Pirate King. But it's not clear really. I still have typical Yonko beyond typical admiral because then the Warlords/Seraphim make no sense. Marineford probably doesn't factor in much, though, since peak Whitebeard and Roger are still heavily implied to be a level beyond Sakazuki even now with his 5 billion Cross Guild bounty. My guess is that the Marines treated Sickbeard as if he was still Peakbeard, who would've been beyond any of them, including Garp.

[@michaelwilliams4024]

Garp was defo not going all out because if he was he would of attacked the arm of pizaro instead of relying on koby to do it. How do we know this he blitzs past aokiji and everyone and smashed the head. He could of done the exact same thing with pizaros arm instead of his head and they could of all escaped.

Now just imagine for one moment the roles were reversed. 3 yonko vs. 1 admiral and a shit ton of vice admirals. Like I'm sorry but there's no fucking way the government could possibly win that.

Blitzing snakeman isn’t a feat for Kizaru it’s a feat for Luffy He reacted to faster than light acceleration FROM A LONG DISTANCE WITHOUT FS OR REGULAR OBSERVATION And inflated gears slow Luffy down Sure his combat speed is crazy but his reaction is slower And for the Kaido argument Luffy was using acoc, and we saw how big of an amp acoc was to Luffy(Kaido confirmed you can stack ryuo on acoc by saying Luffy did it in g5 at some point), so even if Kizaru wasn’t holding back Luffy using acoc could still win(he can stack ryuo on top)

[@ashlol1839]

Ps I think the old gen people could have beaten their Admiral counterparts “Akainu was holding back” why would he hit Whitebeard who he’s trying to kill any weaker than his strongest? The only stat he held back was dc because they didn’t want to destroy Marineford And old Whitebeard was able to down Akainu for a bit and go on to take MUCH MORE(he had a literal HEART ATTACK prior) without using acoc (obv for plot reasons) so he was the one that was nerfed(crocodile confirmed it too and imagine getting speedblitzed by base SQUARD) And old Garp , though less impressive one shotted Sanjuan wolf with NO HAKI and blitzed Kuzan(who would actually be nerfed because he was stated to be soft) But if Garp hadn’t taken Shiryu’s stab he would give Kuzan a good fight that could go either way
