Hey y'all, wanted to gauge some discussion.
How far back do you think the Admiral system goes? Given the recent developments with the World Government showing their colors and fangs, is it possible from the beginning of the reign of the Celestial Dragons through the Void Century to even pre-Xebec Era there were Admirals in place? Imo this system could be new, given the sass/independence/zero fucks attitude the Admirals independently portray (Fuji/Aokiji/GB), which is libelous to what the WG want to convey.
I feel if they wanted loyal soldiers, CP0 and the Holy Knights suffice. But the brute might/danger of the Admirals are there to make a statement and back a claim. And there'd have to be a point the Gorosei would retire their combat capabilities and delegate power to a third party (Marines) (assuming they are immortal as well).
I bring this up, thinking it would be dope as fuck to see Void Century Admirals and the abilities they had or all throughout history what they were capable of.
