I told everyone there was a reason Oda went ahead and gave Luffy Awakening already. Of course, some didn't want to hear it. They think G5 Luffy will just run through the admiral like they are nothing. Did chapter should stop all that nonsense thinking.
Look what GB did to King and Queen. Yes, they don't look like they have fully healed and all he's doing just restraining them and drain their energy but it doesn't appear that he was pushed to a serious level.
The pirates have a way to go to reach admiral level. I doubt the they will be as lucky and find lava pits and bombs to take out their opponents for them.
