Of course it means something you moron that's why the author bothered to include it in his work. You're just so committed to refuting any evidence that is contrary to your point of view that you try to marginalize things even when they come directly from the manga.
You're only trying so hard to trivialize it because it stands against your opinion. None of those examples are even the same they weren't angered like Garp was they were arrogant that's not the same and if you still can't understand that I can't help you.
So because Oda included it in his work, it's automatically true? Because other things included in Oda's work were:
1. Enel saying his will alone spawned the entirety of the One Piece universe
2. Moriah saying he'd crush Luffy
3. Zoro saying he'd kill Luffy
4. Law telling Smoker he'd destroy Luffy
5. Kuma saying he'd turn Luffy into the World Government
6. Magellan saying he'd stop anyone from breaking out of Impel Down
7. Whitebeard saying Ace would leave Marineford alive
8. Crocodile saying he'd become King of Alabasta
9. Doflamingo saying he was a good that could never be defeated by humans like Luffy and Law
Should I go on?
As if it was any worse then them seeing Garp go to kill Akainu and the FA having to stop him? Good job deflecting the point of your answer from the initial point btw. You're getting good at that. You said it was about protecting the Marines image and cutting feeds initially, not about protecting morale like you're claiming here now.
No one was paying attention to those two at the time because all of the attention was either on fighting or the dying son of the Pirate King right in front of them. Garp attacking Akainu would have brough major attention towards them.
Yeah ok buddy, keep convincing yourself the Marines don't choose their strongest enlisted to be FA. I like how you're trying to downplay FA despite the 3 we've known to have the seat all being beasts. Also Sengoku was said to be one of the major figures during Rogers time, but you're right he wasn't portrayed to be strong, nah.
They don't. The fact that both Akainu and Aokiji were NOMINATED shows that they don't. Akainu and Aokiji simply chose to settle it with a duel since both would make great leaders. The very fact that Aokiji, the Admiral, pushed Akainu, the Fleet Admiral, to an extreme diff, gruelish match shows that the difference between an Admiral and Fleet Admiral isn't as large as you're trying to make it out to be.
What do you think the determining factors are in appointing an Admiral? Strength, primarily.
And also the ability to lead, since Admirals need to also make political decisions and run an entire military organization.
Well this just helps prove you're an instigative brat who likes to start arguments over non existent claims with poor comprehension. Go ahead and find me that quote where I said being bloodlusted always means victory for every character ever across all mediums. I'll wait.
By claiming that Garp's bloodlust means it's a fact that he would have killed Akainu, you are de facto claiming that any instance of extreme bloodlust means a guaranteed kill because nothing sets Garp's bloodlust apart from the bloodlust of other characters.
It's like arguing a child. Sure, let's ignore any and all subtleties that would come in each individual fight and say if you think something for one case you have to think it for every case. strength levels, emotions all of that would come into play. Most of the instances it happens it's a villain not the protagonist which already sets this time apart from the vast majority, most times the power levels are very far apart which again sets this instance apart from the norm, most times the one making the claim is in one of two emotion states; frustration/annoyance or arrogance, Garp was neither
.
There are no subleties in the instance of Garp's bloodlust that exist outside of your imagination.
Oh look another dismissive non-reply from Riker deflecting from addressing the topic because it doesn't support his claim and he has no actual defense to it.
Right, because "an author of this work doing this means Oda is also doing it" is a good argument.
Yonkou and PK aren't the same thing. The Yonkou seats weren't even created until after Roger's death iirc. Arguably the strongest Yonkou(WB) couldn't match(though he was the closest to) Roger. I know you like to act like PK isn't largely focused on strength but it's a big part of it and PK>Yonkou. Roger was able to stay free so long and finish the GL because he had the strength to avoid capture and the desire to find it.
Yonko and PK aren't the same thing, but they're on the same general level. It was also said that Whitebeard and Roger were even in strength, so there goes that part of your argument.
"PK>Yonko" is false.
