I believe Sabo is actually admiral level. It's just that he's around low admiral level and Fujitora is clearly more experienced and dominant in this battle v_v

Yonko are just a small step away from admirals. 2 admirals could take any yonko. So two sabos could beat BB? Or shanks?

He's mainly stood in the same spot and every time we see him it seems as if he hasn't moved while Sabo is the one rushing in to attack just for Fuji to block and send him back :dunno:

Maybe i'm wrong and he's just a stationary fighter but I expected him to atleast move around some

You mean Fuji was holding back..as of now he is fighting..the man said he is risking his life in the last panel..but regardless from what is being shown and Sabo's bruises..Fuji is stronger and thats fact if its coming from a Sabo fan like me

Here is my theory, which combines some of what I've read, so i can't really call it my own personal theory, but it's that he's holding off Sabo to give an excuse as to why he wasn't fighting the SHs, because he was too busy fighting Sabo to fight the SHs, so he's actually trying to not kill him here. And that also ties into the other marines, that they can't fight the SHs because they're caught within the fight and can't reach the SHs, which refers to the panel about how they can't reach the SHs with all the commotion, though mangapanda has it translated really weird. It's the first of 2 pages of their clash.

And it applies to what Fuji was saying about the game and risking his life in that he's betting that Luffy & Co. can defeat DD. He know the SHs mean well, but he doesn't want to get involved personally where he can lose his position since people will find out unless he decides to kill everyone to keep it quiet, but that's clearly something he won't do. So he's relying on Luffy & Co. to defeat DD for him, so he can keep his position, while at the same time can give the excuse he was too busy fighting with Sabo to intervene. But if they lose, he's in a really shitty situation, because then DD would annihilate everyone and probably escape and he'd lose out entirely. I think that Fuji feels like if he loses his position or if DD gets away with this, then his whole plan will fail and he shamed himself possibly to the point of suicide, as you know Japanese feeling of shame and dishonor and such is very different from the Western view.

That's my theory. And if you're too lazy to read it, tl;dr, I think Fuji's definitely holding back and actually not trying to kill him.

The beautiful tears of the Sabo fanboys who said that he's admiral level or that he can beat Marco are making me cry tears of joy.

If we're lucky, next week we'll see the Zoro wank die out a bit.

Its a rainy day for Sabobase and a sunny day for us at Law camp because my boy just got uncuffed and is about to go Ham and Cheese!

Ooooo happy daaaayyyys!

Thinking that Sabo has the power to stay on equal footing let alone beat an admiral is more than stupid, but maybe I dont think like fapboys do...

Actually Im hating some OP fanboys of Sabo,Ace,Zoro,Shanks they're just terrible, they're becoming just like Itachi wanks here on NB, but then again we have the manga to prove them wrong.:cool:
