Did he really??? Lol
And people thought King could fight an Admiral
honest question How does King fight an admiral at all?
I mean the reason why WB's topdog could do so well against the admiral wasnt just that they were strong, i think its more to do with their set of abilities. guys like Marco/Jozu are equipped with one of the best defensive df in the verse so its logical that they can stall ppl above their paygrade.
imo i think WBP could hold their own even better if the matchup shuffled a lil bit like this:
01. instead of OldWB going against Akainu with his non-existent COO and piss poor COA, He faces Aokiji. Akainu is too lethal to face w/o really good COA or an ability that helps. it seems u dont exactly "tank" his magma attack. thanks to Aokiji's admission that his df is at a disadvantage against WB's df, it could prove to be a crucial point in favor of the pirates. As Ice will have harder time against an ability that vibrates.
02. likewise Jozu is at a disadvantage to face a freezing ability that kinda make his hard defense not so useful. i think Kizaru could be better opponent for him(maybe Diamond and light's interaction comes to play?)
03. Marco is prolly equipped to face any of the admiral due to his unique ability(tho maybe Aokiji is a problem for him? i mean can he regen if Aokiji instead of bruising/cutting him with ice, decides to freeze him as a whole? maybe with ice time??)
So with Aokiji+Kiazru busy with WB+Jozu, Marco takes on akainu. While i think he is helpless against Papazuki, but he can keep regenning against lethal magma attack
tho dont misunderstand my point as any of the WBP commanders winning their matchup or making super big strides in their favor, but i think they will do better than they did in MF war.
tho i still dont think it ultimately changes the outcome of the War overall
what do u think?
