Akainu took on Whitebeard's strongest attack, and lived. He was even fighting without problem after that. Also, if Akainu hadn't stopped to look at whitebeard, he would have killed him.Akainu got ***** slapped by WB who was half dead and sick so yeah yonko are probably above admirals
As far as we know CP0 has 3 members. I don't thing the highest authorities in CPs would be weaker than admirals. I see each of them as admiral level.There are more of CP0 than Admirals so I don't know. Tbh, I think CP0 would act as personal tools of the WG. If the WG gave total control of justice to the marines then it would make sense for them to have their own force just for insurance and personal uses. :|
I think they are weaker than the admirals, but together they=the admirals
I also see them doing some clean up work after the main fights go down to make sure none of the Doflamingo business blows back on the WG if they r still around
