That's the whole point. It's a rank. And many different people fall under that rank.
My rank goes like this at the current time:
Luffy
Doflamingo
Marco/maybe other 1st Mates
Admirals
Fleet Admiral
Yonko
So in other words, after this fight, Luffy would be slightly behind, maybe even tying with Marco, after defeating Doflamingo.
In its essence, the thread is pretty stupid. Of course Luffy CAN defeat Doflamingo. Hody CAN also defeat Doflamingo, but that doesn't mean he will. I think Luffy will defeat Doflamingo and that is how he will progress, but I don't think he's at his level right now.
I made this thread for a different reason. Not to find out if, Luffy would win because I obviously know he would.
My purpose for this thread is a secret.
And Hody can't beat, Doflamingo. Are you trying to make a joke? Hody, is weak as hell. He also, Lost to, Luffy who hasn't even beaten, Doflamingo yet. Hody, is fodder.
My belief is that, as, Luffy say before the TS during the war is that he will surpass, Ace someday. 2 years of training has passed and it's time for us to see.
Also, since you believe that, Luffy would gain a 500-580Mil bounty after, Dressrosa shows proof of what you're saying.
I know, Doflamingo is going to give, Luffy a tough fight.
And of course you do realize, Luffy has yet to show his true strength as of yet?
So many more amazing techniques he must be hiding right now. For all we know he might shock us with a gear 4/5.
He could probably blow air into his muscles like he does his bones thus increasing his power massively and he could probably even use gear 2nd along with it. Imagine that power.
Right now, we don't know how strong, Fujitora is. He could be a low rank admiral for all we know or mid. I doubt he's high admiral like, Akainu, Aokiji and Kizaru, though, Akainu is at fleet now. It would probably be best to include, Fleet admiral in strength level of High Admiral. What do you think of this?
