Sabo was testing out his new ability on Admiral Isshou, which was hard for him to control fighting at the same time.

Do you really think Sabo would struggle if he bothered to use his original abilities such as "dragons claw," and "Dragons breath?"

Hell no

He's fighting an admiral, why wouldn't he use what he thought would be most effective? Even if he wasn't used to the mera mera it still gave him increased range if nothing else.

Plus it's not like anything was stopping him from using his original moves if he so chose to use them

It's horrible to use since it lowers your body endurance (logia) and creates openings to get hit.

Increasing your flame range is horrible to use against a haki user, just look at how Smoker got

thrashed by spreading out more smoke.

We all know that Sabo's physical strength pre logia>>>>>post logia Sabo.

by range I meant as in shooting fire projectiles at his opponent.

Sabo wad holding his own against an admiral, therefore sabo is admiral level. Not saying he is stronger than all the others but he is definitely capable of fighting them. He's clearly far above vice admiral level as he fodderized bastille in a panel or two.

Fuji wasn't fighting seriously but he also ddnt do anything to sabo.
Sabo and Fuji were stalling. Unless Fujis gravity contains haki it really ddnt do much to sabo.

I wouldn't take that into account. I do take into account how easily he handled Burgess and Diamante without the fruit.
That alone gives him high markings.

well i believe he is admiral level because he was keeping up with fuji just fine.
I bet you can't stall an admiral if you are weaker than them.
Also not all Admirals are on same level, some are stronger than others.
Anyways, if there is any difference of strength between sabo and fuji, it is very less.

By no means Sabo is admiral level from what we have seen. I admit that even I thought that he's admiral level at first.Zzz

He isn't admiral level, but he's the closest non-deemed admiral level imo. With his pipe, and fighting serious, there's a possibility he is admiral level, but from what was shown in specific, he isn't admiral level. He still has lots of room to grow, he's still young and just acquired his devil fruit, so the fact that he doesn't possess full proficiency of it should be of no surprise.

Was Fujitora being held back, or did he choose to be held back? It's definitely the latter, cause Sabo noticed there was something odd in Fuji's behavior when they fought. Heck, maybe Fuji was simply testing Sabo's strength. In any case, he calmly walked away while Sabo was left on the spot exhausted.

sabo is close to Fuji
i don't want to use admiral level because the variations of power in between admirals is great
akainu,aokiji being the strongest,kizaru never being serious in a fight shows that they are far greater in strength compared to fuji and we didn't even see green bull in action.
sabo isn't serious either.he is just giving time for SH's to complete their mission.

He's the right hand of Dragon, he should be Admiral-level, maybe weaker than them but in the same tier though, it would be dissapointing if Kizaru/Issho low-diffed Sabo.
