Yonko don't have numbers?? lol.. did you look at the Whitebeard grand fleet?
The Warlords and the Marines and other little agencies of theirs combined keep all the 4 Yonko in check.. And there are 4 admirals in total, that all those agencies are under, similar to how there are 4 pirates where all those pirates are under.
4 Admirals vs 4 Yonko <<<<< They are on the same level.
NB doesn't overrate the admirals.. lol. Its simply common sense to assume that they are on the same level, if they weren't then who is keeping the Yonko in check? no one.
Furthermore, Garp (though he didn't take the position) and Sengoku were admirals taking on Roger and WB.. all 4 of them were on the same level.
by numbers i mean in quality an quantity the schibukai and the marines together can take out a single yonko. but all 4 yonko> schibukai + marines.
u do realize the yonko hate each other and are enemies right. the marines get shit scared at the thought of a red hair and WB alliance. yonko arent allied they have their own interests and thats the balance of power. if the war of best had kaidou, big mam, shanks along with their crews and allies WG would have been wrecked.
they are not the same level. no one was hyped on the level of kaidou, shanks is on the same level as old uninjured WB there is clear portrayal there, akainu, aokiji and kizaru arent on that level, they are close and can give them high diff but not on yonko level maybe big mam but we dont kno shit about her so ill leave that out.
sengoku is not on WB level, garp is but not sengoku, garp was marines hero and roger said they almost killed each other countless times, sengoku doesnt have that level of hype.
You misunderstood so badly, even though I clarified what I meant by "only his reaction time was lowered." When he was stabbed by Squard, his strength, speed and DF power and Haki were all the same level of his prime. His reaction speed was just severely down by that point.
No, Oda did portray them evenly. Whitebeard deflected one attack from Akainu, and Akainu did the same to Whitebeard with one leg. Old, sick injured WB would have been killed by Akainu if he didn't jump him and then destroy the ground. By the end of the war, Akainu didn't have a mark on him, so obviously Whitebeard didn't do major damage to him in their scuffle. Akainu could go on to fight his commanders and dozens of pirates all at once afterwards, while Whitebeard was killed by a 10-man up-and-coming crew.
no ur misunderstand the manga, that was a brief scuffle, even ace matched aokiji in a brief scuffle. u act like Wb wasnt dying, he took multiple stab wound and gun shots and cannon balls and then had a heart attack cuz of the strain then faced akainu and still was even and even had the advantage, akainu was on the ground he didnt pursue it any further. and then he went against BB who had a good DF and his whole crew then took even more damage then died. No they are not equal, WB took waaaaaaaaaaaay more damage and ODA goes on to point it out only dense ppl can avoid facts that simple or ppl with a bias. akainu ina fight against no injuries WB would have lost. i love how u gloss over all the damage he took lol. this is the problem with some ppl on NB the admiral wank is too real, i get it theya re the best in the navy but they arent above or can give an extreme diff to the likes of WB or kaidou. and short scuffles arent clear fights, doffy can easily block an admirals sword with a leg and ace did to aokiji that does not mean they are equal. when it came down to it akainu couldnt finish off a sick and very injured old WB and thats equal. Please
so doffy vs luffy G4 is equal now even tho doffy took way more damage, its simple really WB had way more damage and still had the slight advantage, anyone with half a brain can say with certainty that they are not equals, cuz oda would have given akainu a massive advanatge in the fight and yet he didnt. ODa clearly shows equals properly such as when shanks and a old wb with no injuries swing their swords and the sky splits. thats good portrayal not what akainu had, he is not on the same level as WB.
