Yep that seems to be the case, also
@Edward Teach you wanking bastard, you seem to be correct indeed lol.
Either Sakazuki defeats Fuji convincingly, or Sabo has just grown a lot lol.
That's why he is the
Yonko Parallel in the Marine. the
Fleet Admiral. Head of the Pirate / Marine worlds respectfully.
That's why he is the
only marine hyped in interviews, Data Book and Vivre Cards
That's why he is the
only Marine that is utterly hated by the MC along with Blackbeard. you don't get a long lasting enmity with the MC if you are not superior to your subordinates.
That's why him and Borsalino are considered
beasts even before joining the Navy.
Issho had Greenbull for help and yet was damaged by Sabo and his gang. Sakazuki was not even
scratched by Marco and Vista sneak attack. he clashed evenly with a Yonko and the only instance where he was damaged was when the said Yonko sneak atatcked with a
head shot,yet lost his life later. Borsalino too was jumped by a Yonko and was not harmed, actually he outplayed him. Issho and Greenbull also got nothing on them in terms of experience, the C3 are veteran warriors who spent decades of tasting battles alongside Garp and Sengoku, it's not far fetched to think that the strongest of them can mid diff Issho.
