Anyone thinking Oda will shit on Admirals is a glorified moron. They nitpick some random line about akainu "being scared" of the samurais as if we, as readers, also didn't fall for Oda's bait that the samurais and the beast pirates were hot shit.
Buddy, if the readers fall for the fake propaganda, what chances do in-story characters have?
Not talking powerscaling here. But Oda is damn consistent when hyping the Admirals. Every single one of them has this great presence.
