Why can't Admirals fans face things the way they are and just live with the fact that the Yonko are built differently and that the Admirals were never put on the same pedestal as these absolute monsters ?
Okay, the former admiral Kuzan who almost killed the admiral of the current fleet is an emperor's subordinate, imagine if it was the other way around and we had a Yonko as an admiral's puppy?
Oda isn't crazy to do this because he knows a Yonko's position in the world's food chain...
Imagine if we had phrases like:
"If Akainu were here I wouldn't have come"...
"Don't let him intimidate you, he's just an admiral."
"No one in the world can defeat me"
"Akainu unleashing the king's haki from miles away and making Shanks or any other Yonko shit their pants"
"Akainu is the toughest guy in the world"
"Akainu is essentially the strongest man in the world"
"If it's one on one, always bet on akainu that he will win"
"We don't fear anyone, the Yonkou? The revolutionaries? I have Akainu himself backing me up"
The opposite of these things just doesn't happen because the admirals are nowhere near the Yonkous, they are weaker you shits, and the sooner you accept the more believable the manga will become for you who live in the world of illusion. LOL
