Wait, why are people even arguing if it's an admiral or not!???
LOL, some people spread lies, then after that people actually fall for it and believe it???
If there is one thing I know about Admirals of the marines, is that they all are tall and musclular. This guy is short, and thin. No way he is an admiral hahaha
Look at:
Garp Build
Sengoku's build
Zypher Build
Akainu's build
Aokiji's build
Kizaru's build
Fujitora's build
EVEN Greenbull's build which is still a shadow.
Admirals are all built in the same kind of way. Tall and Muscular. They are the pinnacle of what a normal person can achieve through hard training. Yonko on other hands, most are freak of nature with weird stories behind their abilities (excluding Shanks, who resemble admirals more)
