In the world of One Piece, organizations (not countries) are built on power. Those who lead them are the strongest individuals. Whether it be the Marines with their admirals and fleet admiral. Whether it be the Yonko and other pirates. Whether it be the Revolutionary Army. The commanders and leader of the organizations are stronger than the other underlings that is a law, only broken by few like Spandam & Buggy. Otherwise that is how all organizations operate. Why? Because power is required to keep powerful individuals under control. You cannot lead Zoro, while being weaker than him. You cannot lead the admirals, while being inferior to them. You must be atleast on par if not superior.
And out of all the organizations of the world, there is 1 more powerful than any other by far. The World Government. Consisting of the Marines, CP1-9, and various other forces. This global organization has remained in power for the last 800 years. And presently the one who leads all of the military power of the World Government, is none other than the former-Fleet Admiral of the marines who reigned from the era of Xebec to Roger... the one and only.. The Commander in Chief of the World Government.. KONG.
So how strong is KONG? At the very least he's going to be stronger than the weakest admiral when he was the Fleet Admiral, which would be Prime Sengoku (since Garp refused to become one, and we don't know of any other, since Z doesn't exist in the series yet). Just like how people wank Akainu as the strongest admiral for being the Fleet Admiral during the current generation. This man was the Fleet Admiral during the Golden Generation that had Roger/Shiki/Newgate/Captain John/BM/etc roaming the seas. So please keep that logic consistent and apply it to our boy Kong here as well.
"Oh but he's just a pencil pusher" "Oh but he doesn't fight, just sit behind a desk" - Right because BM was out there clashing with top tiers on the seas for last 20 years before Wano. Whitebeard was having regular top tier fights in the past 20 years and not with just generic chumps like fodder Ace and fodder crocodile. Right cause Sakazuki for the past 2 years has been fighting top tiers in secret at the marine HQ and not sitting behind a desk. Cause Kuzan was out there having top tier fights and not just dealing with fodder and riding around his bike.. Y'all get my point.
Majority of these mfs that people consider to be in their prime and active aren't fighting on a consistent basis. Some of them haven't fought a relevant fight in years, but nobody holds that against them. Not to mention, he's a soldier.. these mfs train consistently, not just sit on a desk and eat burritos.
Oda didn't introduce the most roided up human marine in the manga, who makes Sengoku's bodybuilder self look scrawny.. just for him to be some pencil pusher.
The man is of an era even before Sengoku, hence Sengoku addresses him as "sir" out of respect. Yet despite that he's able to intimidate Sengoku to a an extent. (Sengoku's face with "..." and Oda zooming in on Kong's face eyes with the stare, in a sequence where Kong isn't asking something from Sengoku, but demanding.
And the key thing here is, it's not a position that you get simply after the Fleet Admiral, so somebody else can be the Fleet Admiral while you get promoted to higher position. No sir. Hence this mf is still in charge of the World Government military, while Sengoku the FA after him from the generation after his.. is retired.
And what does the "commander-in-chief" do? The most important thing, keep the World Government at balance with rest of the world powers, across the entire globe, not just the grandline.
The World Government military ends with him. Leaders of all militaries in the world of OP are stronger or strong as their strongest subordinate. There is no reason why this law would be broken for Kong.
My boy @SakazOuki thinks he's top 1. While I don't wanna say top 1 outright, he's going to be atleast top 5 (excluding Gorosei and imu).
So let me know what y'all think man. I feel like this mf being slept on hard simply because his time to get focus hasn't come, as the series hasn't reached the point where World Government is the direct enemy, but only the Marines/CP.
