The list of ppl stronger than him is that big that im not going to bother to write them, anyway luffy's pre-gear speed was shitty and his power overall was shitty if enel's only way to beat someone is with df than he sucks hard, his combat skills is worse than shit, WB lost his DF against blackbeard even thoug that he was able to overpower BB easily at the verge of death any1 can tell that BB>>luffy BB was wayy better than luffy, just forget enel dude
Although Eneru is NOT on the level of Emperor, I'm beginning to think that you just dislike Eneru in general. Your posts seem to bash him way harder than necessary.
If I were to guess, I'd obviously say that he is obviously beneath the Admirals. He most definitelty has near Admiral levels of power, but his skills with that power and his lackluster use of Haki hinder him in attaining said level of strength. However, I do think he would be around or above the level of a Vice Admiral or Warlord. And even though its total speculation, I'm sure just like everyone else in the series, he wasn't just sitting on his @$$ the entire time during the timeskip. I'm sure he has a few more badass moves he could bust out in a pinch without the use of Maxim.
And also, I think people fail to see how strong he really was due to Luffy pwning him with his rubber. If you just look at what he threw at Luffy... Any other person that took that head on would be notably injured at the least (unless you're whitebeard or someone else that's just OP AF). Because Luffy naturally tanked nearly ALL of his blows, people seem to think he's weak and fail to realize that it was because Luffy from the start was naturally IMMUNE to 99% of Eneru's arsenal. And the fact that Luffy came close to being beaten even with all the cards stacked in his favor was quite something.
Anyways, those are MY thoughts on the matter.
