Outside of the admirals there are 7 other zodiac there being other marines capable of competing with admirals candidates isn’t bad at all.
The marines not sending out forces to attack the emperors before cause even if we say only the zodiacs can be commander level + that’s still 11 characters. At least 4 of which are actual top tiers and 7 that should at least be commander level. That’s not even including Garp, sengoku, tsuru, and the warlord at the time
The marines and world government have always been stacked even more so post timeskip.
Also zoro and sanji still have shiryu and laffitte(?), beckman and roux, mihawk and crocodile, etc
There being strong vice admirals doesn’t hurt zoro and sanji or make them look bad
1. Goat - Sengoku
2. Dog - Akainu
3. Monkey - Kizaru
4. Chicken - Aokiji
5. Bull - Aramaki
6. Tiger - Fujitora
7. Horse - Kurouma
8. Pig - Chaton
9. Rabbit - Momousagi
10. Dragon - Monkey D. Dragon?
11. Snake - Smoker (White Snake)
12. Rat - ???
Only rat is the possible zodiac that can be included in Egghead raid aside from Kizaru.
But even Kurouma has some highlighted panel.
Here we have Doberman who's reporting to Saturn. I believe he's the strongest out of the VAs in Egghead and at most he is YC3, which is mid-diff at best against Sanji or Zoro.
If Chaton and Momousagi are included in the Egghead raid, I will have no problem with Sanji having high-extreme diff fight.
If Zoro has to activate KOH or Asura for any of the Egghead VA, I'll be damn disappointed lol. Unless, it is a casual one-shot that just meant to show the difference between Zoro's current strength and the VA.
