Last week the white eyes were a sign of weakness and Luffy had to be far superior than this guy right ?
This week he just stood up and created a lot more soldiers, but one little sentence about pain has everybody getting their hopes up again because Luffy can't lose against this guy right ? RIGHT ?!!
It's just funny to see a large amount of the hopes and dreams of some members crumbling who were shitting on Jack, or saying how Zoro would be able to take Vista and how weak Jozu was and now Cracker.
Well here we go, finally into yonkou terrain, and everything got fuc
ked instantly after entering big mom's territory.
Even if Luffy is able to beat Cracker with all the trouble in the world. There are at least 2 more commanders of that level, you have vinsmoke army walking around, couple of new world wedding guests and finally big mom herself.
Zoro and Law are nowhere close, the only ones who could offer some assistance here and Sanji surrendered himself.
So I think it is safe to say that there won't be a lot of fighting done after the cracker fight, because Luffy already pretty much blew his load.
But to get back on topic after 26 pages, I think that we can safely say by now that Cracker is stronger than Doffy.
Doflamingo was no pushover but he also had a lot of benefits. His status protected him from the navy. The world government helped him cover up crime and trap the Strawheart alliance on Dressrosa. Any opposition got turned into dolls, he was an underground broker with Kaidou protection.
If you would give Cracker all of that and make him king of Dressrosa, I don't think Law and Luffy would be able to take him down if he was end of the line of the arc if everything played out the same as it did with Doflamingo.
I think this panel explains the hierarchy pretty well and, Doflamingo even says that there are multiple ways to beat an enemy who is beyond your reach. The same thing Oda said in the interview about Luffy and Kaidou.
