Controversial The "World Draft" is lazy writing

admiral rank is not like yonko title, it requires to be top tier in order to attain it. They just won't put weak marines as admirals just to fill the spots.
If anything the draft is great writing and one of the best op worldbuildings since it means there are top tiers in the world that aren't marines or pirates and just chill in their home

Here is the issue though.
You cannot reach top tier without having several battles amongst which at least some become life threatening. Such strength comes through constant evolution.
Can you think of scenarios where you go around fighting like that, where you aren't a marine/govt-agent or a pirate/criminal?

I don't think those two would be even considered for admiral position without being at least a high end YC level.
Yeah, admirals would still murk them.......but what if they get logia DFs and master it in ~ 2 years? Why shouldn't that take them to top tier?
OP is presumably bitching about the execution lol.
Top tiers basically have legend status in the OP verse. People shit their pants even at the mention/name-drop of a top tier character. We got two top tiers which weren't even hinted at existing prior to the draft.
Basically, if we knew of wild-card/unaffiliated top tiers existing prior to TS, then it wouldn't have felt like an asspull. That part of world-building wasn't something Oda did

No, it doesn’t make any sense, it’s a sentiment devoid of all brainpower that you came up with because you don’t like a character’s personality/power level.
Fujitora and Ryokugyu are not just power levels, they are characters with their own ideals and agendas designed to communicate actual themes.
Asking Oda to throw those themes out of the window and make them….’Vice Admirals who observe the movements of the Yonko’…is the lamest thing I’ve ever heard. Lol

I love the notion that there are top tier characters out there who we’ve never met or heard of. The notion that every single top tier must be some legend of worldwide renown who everyone has heard of and tells stories about, is a notion propagated by 14 year old basement dwellers who have no actual clue how the world works. Notoriety/Fame =//////= actual strength.
You know how many monstrously strong/skilled lifters/athletes/fighters there are in the real world who no one has ever heard of? Thousands easily if not far more. You know how many professional athletes there are out there who sports teams literally just pulled off of the street? You should look it up because the numbers will shock you. Michael Lewis for example was an NFL kick off returner who before he played in the NFL, he drove beer delivery trucks, I shit you not.
So yeah, I absolutely love the notion that there are top tier motherfuckers out there who we’ve never heard of before. Issho and Aramaki in particular are quite awesome, these are two guys with ideals too extreme for the World Government who are now suddenly expected to uphold the Government’s agenda. That dynamic is so much more interesting to me than Aokiji and Kizaru who, while having their own ideals and opinions and such, were ultimately order followers who would never go against the grain in huge ways like Issho and Aramaki do.
And for Oda to show us two wildcard Admirals who don’t follow orders, he had to first show us Admirals like Aokiji and Kizaru who mostly followed orders. These characters complement each other in that way.
