I know, but Kizaru looks more like a pseudo right hand to me than the other admirals.
Which is why I believe he could be the second strongest in the navy
Sometimes their relationships aren’t the best way to figure out strength relationships.
Look at the emperor crews:
Kaidos only ever said kind words about Jack but he was the weakest
Big Mom seems to only respect Pero, who’s weaker than her generals
Burgess is Blackbeards closest within the crew, but definitely doesn’t seem strongest
Marco was Whitebeards RHM, but Oden was much stronger
