The guys who rely on the Admirals for protection being stronger than the Admirals would objectively contradict the claims we’ve received from the WG itself about who it’s strongest fighters are.
Both narratively and logically, there is no argument for the guys who rely on the Admirals for protection > Admiral.
Narratively the Elders are set up to be being with unbelievable haki (Jimbeis words) who are immortal, whom G5 Luffy himself ran from,etc.
They are the last bastion before Imu.
Narratively they should be stronger then the first line of defense in the admirals.
They do not need the Admirals for protections, please stop repeating that it makes you look dumb bro. Where is Kizaru right now? Does it look like they need his protection?
The title given to the Admirals doesnt mean much bro, its not ironclad. The elders arent fighters, they do not usually fight. And why would they need to? Just like WB WSM title didnt include Imu so do this one for the Admirals.
You cant really rely on it, nobody is going to take it seriously after whats been going on lately.
