Yooo that Garp panel though. My inner fanboy tells me that he could low high diff other top tiers on a good day.
Monster stats flowing into techs like Soru, Geppou and Tekkai, while he busts out G3+ AP in base, coupled with Top3 advanced CoA and superb CoO, if not FS. Too fast too furious for the nowadays Yonkou and Admirals' asses! Don't quote me on this one tho
And about Shanks crew, it's basically what everyone already expected. You have a tech like advanced CoA, that scales much higher than physical strength and an hax ability like FS.
Oda can basically just give each commander out of his top 3, atleast one advanced Haki spec and a personally refined fighting style, while Beckman gets both advanced types, and the other Yonkou Commanders would have a very hard time dealing with their respective opponent. While they are fighting in classic manner with guns and still can swim.
No magic at work tbh.
It's basically what would happen if you give that Vergo Camp advanced haki types (Post Udon base Luffy basically)
And so a guy like Shanks does not have to be > in stats to hybrid Jack, which wouldn't make one bit of sense anyway, Mihawk can have greater DC/Ap feats than Big Mom, even tho he's <<< in physical strength and so on.
Advanced CoA also can explain logically how Shanks did not lose much if any overall power at all after losing his arm. He can still let all of his haki flow into his attacks, and if he has top3 haki, he will still casually block giants and stuff.
Damn, if you are really into it, there's no way out lol
