What the fuck do characters incomparable to Shanks have to do with Shanks? Shanks takes after Roger, not Garling, hence why he uses his moves specifically.
This is like saying Sabo, Doflamingo or Rocinante are only as strong as their noble fathers lmao
Stop making weak comparisons to people that have nothing to do with your scaling.
What do you mean?
Saint Shanks is a bum who never trains, this is a fact. He is just some crippled alcoholic coasting off of Gargling genes, he’s not like an Admiral who obtained his strength through hard work, he’s just a crippled gene merchant. And he’s the weakest Figarland for that very reason. Shamrock was even hyped as more valuable to the WG than Saint Shanks last chapter, and Gargling is a Gorosei so he is literally Saint Shanks’s boss.
Holming didn’t even know how to fight, he was a non-combatant so of course Doffy would be stronger than him. This doesn’t apply to Gargling who was combat trained from a young age as a Holy Knight. Sabo’s father was also a non-combatant. Lol
So yes Saint Shanks is the weakest Figarland and it’s not even close.
