Break Week Based off feats. Exactly why are the warlords even useful to the balance?

[Iam25]

Since an admiral can supposedly solo an entire emperor crew. The reality is by feats, an admiral can wipe out an entire set of warlords with ease.

Deadass the strongest warlord was fighting a guy GB can neg lol.

The rest of the warlords are in fact, weaker than a YC on average.

We know this because they let trash like Moria and Crocodile in.

And I know some of you never actually read Alabasta, because you all argue Crocodile is vet level or some shit but that dude lost to pre-gears Luffy LMAO.

And Kuma was injured by an injured preskip Zoro lol.

These guys are on par with YCs hut an admiral can take on 3 YCs. 5 executives. 30000 men who are considered strong for fodder?

This is ridiculous.

Seems to me the WG would have been better off powering up the marines rather than, you know. Having 7 pirates who consistently betray you and attempt genocide .

 

[Seatonnes]

Because they need them to over power a singular yonko crew

Yonko vs FA
YCs vs Admirals
Officers beat vice admirals so warlords fight them

 

[KonyaruIchi]

Moria aside, I think Crocodile's weakness can just be attributed to the fact Oda really didn't have proper powerscaling in mind back in Arabasta days, so he got fucked by pre-gear Luffy which is pretty unthinkable now because he apparently sailed the new world (same goes for Arlong who was supposed to be a super strong fishman who sailed the grand line yet got neg'd by one of the earliest versions of Luffy). It's still kinda dumb, but most Warlords were pretty strong all things considered, Moria is basically the only real bad apple for being beaten by pre-TS Luffy even though powerscaling was definitely more established near thriller bark

If they just recruited GB and Fujitora they could easily wipe out all 4 emperors, steal their ponyglyps and not even have to worry about shitty ass warlords or any pirate finding laughtale.

 

[Buusatan94]

They weren't.

On paper the idea of having very powerful pirates to help the Marine HQ balance the power of the Yonkos sounded great, but in practice we saw how exactly useful and obedient they were to the WG with all of them following their own agendas, abusing their powers and privileges and not lifting a finger to help each other or the Marines with zero genuine loyalty to the WG or even themselves.

The Warlords system was in the end nothing but a humongous sham the World Government played on itself.

 

[ConquistadoR]

Your biased interpretation of "feats" with shit powerscaling doesn't matter.

Garp spelled it out in Enies Lobby that 4 Emperors = Warlords + Marines.

The Warlords are supposed to be high tiers/YC tier at a bare minimum level to begin with and the one exception to this was Moria who was booted for being weak. The one place where Oda fucked up was Sir Crocodile in Alabasta and that's primarily due to him underestimating the overall scale of One Piece. He quickly made amends for it by placing him in Level 6 of Impel Down (among Shiryu, Ace & Jinbe - all high tiers) and giving him feats against YCs/Admirals/Mihawk right after.

 

[mugiwalaw]

its not just a strength bro, but the influence and politics too.

like Doffy that secretly cooperated with Kaido to get the weapon for WG itself

and also Buggy the joke, he might be weak but his influence are big.

they literally cant, at MF 1 yonko crew won with 0 top tiers, admirals are weak, they arent top tiers

Its actually incredible how ConquistadoR can't read.
Even if the 4 emperors = warlords + marines were true...

All that means is that emperors = 100.
Marines =90.
Warlords = 10.

And I'm being generous with that 10.

They had a draft post time skip.

Why not bring in more Marines beforehand instead of going in to find Crocodiles replacement?

Hell the warlords have been in a constant state of disaray ever since Luffy beat Crocodile.

Strong marines are generally more loyal.

 

[NAMELESS]

Mihawk is top tier level,the other are between Yonko commander and veteran level.So the seven together work as a yonko crew for the government.

Nope.

A yonko crew is not 7 people.

 

[NAMELESS]

Nope.

A yonko crew is not 7 people.

yep,i said kind off.Plus the warlords have their own subordinates that they can bring to a fight.They kinda work as gatekeepers to other pirates,remember their main point is to beat new rookies that show up.

 

[ConquistadoR]

Even if the 4 emperors = warlords + marines were true...

There is no "even", that is the actual canon statement in the manga. Your mental gymnastics absolutely does not matter.

Mihawk used to rival an yonko.That guy alone is worth the creation of such institution...

And yet its pretty clearly untrue as 7 warlords predate there being FOUR emperors.

Or did Shanks become emperor by defeating an unnamed, unproven fourth emperor before him?

 

[AkainuTheGrimReaper]

Marine H@ does not include only admiral , it has vice admiral marine, rear admiral marine. captains
Few vice admiral are yonko commmander level. Only 3 of them are yc1 level but that is headcannon and we will see more strong vice admirals in future.
‘Admirals are top tier and can solo yonko crew just fine.. But marines have more numbers. They are EOS enemy for reason and they are strongest force.

Warlord- yonko commander level. Milhawk is top tier .warlord have crew.

‘’Yonko- has more yonko commander level people than marine force have . Emperors are top tier.

Warlord was to combat yonko army and people are yc level.

 

[Carrota Guco]

They dealt with smaller pirates permanently, it like allowing a spider to chill in your window because it kills flies.

 

[Doggo]

The Warlords system was in the end nothing but a humongous sham the World Government played on itself.

The Warlods system, on its core, was just Oda inventing some "middle of the road" villains before Luffy would take down the Yonkos.
They are 7 because Oda thought "7" was a cool number.
Etc.
0 purpose behind them.
Goda.

 

[AkainuTheGrimReaper]

Then warlord and balance are more political influence by gorsei and kings.
Gorsei or King is one who set up warlord system for balance reason.

‘’The balance part is nothing do with power level but have do with influence.

Who said the past Shichibukai were as strong as the current ones? And who said that the past Shichibukai were counteracting the Emperors? The Emperors are not the only characters that the WG/Marines oppose lol.
