Give us this day our daily copium!
Don’t know how often we all discussed exactly this topic the last weeks, but summarized:
In the eyes of the government, they aknowledge the threatening of kid and law on the same level as Luffy. Luffy is stronger, yes. Also he has a grand fleet and islands under his flag, which makes him a Yonko additionaly.
just because it doesn’t fit the headcanon, it doesn’t mean it’s bad writing.
It's absolute dogshit writing in the context of the series.
BB's resume:
- former member of WB
- killed a division commander
- defeated and delivered another commander, one of the most wanted pirates in the world, to the WG
- became Shichibukai
- infiltrated Impel Down
- caused havoc and took the worst villains in the world under his wing
- casually showed up in Marineford and caused mayhem
- killed WB and took his fruit, therefore becoming the first man alive to have two fruit powers (two of the strongest in the world at that)
- destroyed all of Marineford just to showcase his new power
- defeated the remaining WB commanders/pirates in a one-sided war
- gets labeled a Yonkou as early as 2 years ago
-> bounty: 2,2 billion
Kid's resume:
- sunk a ship or two
- can be mean to helpless fodder/locals
- has an unspectacular paramecia with basic smash attacks and one laser canon (aka Franky 2.0)
- managed to push BM off Onigashima in a 2 vs 1 effort
- doesn't even get labeled a Yonkou
- has a ridiculous clown crew outside of Killer
-> bounty: 3 billion
It's complete and utter bullshit.
