I've really been thinking about the events shown at MF and what has happened even currently and I have come to the conclussion that the WG is unbeatable by a single faction in OP. Before you guys come at me let me explain myself...lol lets look at the ending of MF
SenGoku-100% healthy
Garp-100% healthy
Akainu-20% healthy
Aokiji-95% healthy
Kizaru-100% healthy
If we look at those stats we can come to the conclussion the Marines are unbeatable because WB didnt manage to kill not one marine. Is he capable of killing Admirals? Yes but he would be hurt in the process by killing one and he cant kill a second right after that.
If we look at the beloved "Marco The Phoenix"These dudes wasnt enough to make and admiral sweat.
1)Marco landed a direct hit on Kizaru and Kizaru got right back up like it wasnt shit
2)Jozu landed a sneak attack on Aokiji and he was fine right after and it was a direct hit
3)Marco and Vista attacked Akainu together with Haki laced attacks and he didnt do shit and please keep in mind that this was after Akainu took the island splitter from WB
4)The WB commanders ganged up on an injured Akainu and could barely keep him back
I personally feel even 2 yonkos would not be enough to wipe the Marines of the map. Nor could the revolutionary army. Given that Sabo the number 2 couldnt hurt an admiral. We really have to think about how strong the Marines are not only as a unit by individually. Also I personally feel the Red Hair Pirates would have lost at MF. But the damage on the island prevented that
"The only man to ever put down an admiral was a yonko"-Shon93
I think that speaks volumes to the Marines strength. Sure you have commanders that can tussle for a long time. But the bottomline is "The Admirals Will never lose to underlings" of the powerhouses. The powerhouses that stand at the top of there respective group in my opinion is the only ones capable of beating admirals.
My problem with OP or MF?
I feel like clashes in OP are mean't to mislead fans and to put this idea into fans head that the admirals actually stand a chance of losing when he know damn well that underling cant beat admirals. I dont feel like an underling can hit Akainu with anything stronger than WB did and a motivated island splitter still could put down an admiral...lol(I hope you guys see where I'm coming from with this). Keep in mind I have factored in WB sickness already and the shots he took beforehand
Aboloshing the Term Admiral level and Yonko level
I have read OP and I have gotten a feel for how Oda thinks. There is no admiral and yonko level in Odas book there is simply Top Tier or Not Tier. The admirals and the yonkos are top tiers so they should be around the same level if u ask me. I no this will cause a shit storm but it makes sense. Even if we look at MF none of the admirals were scared to take on WB. I mean there whole demeanor didnt change from standing in front of WB
I personally think the yonkos are slightly stronger but it is not enough for there to be a tier difference. I personally feel the yonkos have to be slightly stronger for there to be balance in the OP world because the Marines have all these forces and they have 4 admirals to combat a yonko. So a yonko should be slightly superior where it can cause the Gorosei to slightly sweat and make OP more enjoyable
Another great example if we consider Mihawk to be a top tier he should be on the same level as the admirals and the yonkos considering the WGS has to be Top Tier. Dragon should be consider Top Tier considering he is the father of the main character the son of Garp and he has an army following him
Looking at it from a totally different perspective
When I say the marines are unbeatable I mean when they are together and they can prepare. As opposed to scatted all around the world an easier to pick off piece by piece. It was practically like they hit the lotto where they could have all there forces together in OP place for WB. I dont think that will be the same case for someone like Dragon. Who has to pick them off one by one
SideNote: Look ifI could be completely wrong if we see Kaido or Shanks destroy an admiral mid diff and we see these guys 1st mate kill admirals. But I have a gut feeling that the gap between the admirals are hardly noticeable but a slight gap do exist for the sake of balance.
If u disagree with ceratain stuff lets debate on it. But keep in mind this is coming from a guy who have completely done a 180 in his thought process. I use to think yonkos was vastly superior to admirals but I have been thinking alot about lately or maybe overthinking :yaaa:. And i feel we have severly underestimated not only the power of a admiral but the power of a Top Tier in general because thats how I believe Oda views yonkos and admirals. This thread didnt even factor in the WG so keep that in mind
