For that reason portrayal is usually more important over feats. Feats will always favor characters that go all out/have full fights or appear later, so anyone Post timeskip and Straw Hat opponents always seem stronger and more impressive than those with limited combat showings, or who had...

Loki is getting so much hype, it makes one wonder how he could lose to Shanks if he's that strong. Either the hype is real, he's not as strong as expected, or his DF might come with a weakness. Regardless, if if turns out he is that much stronger than other top tiers, I can only see him dying...

I wonder if Oda will soft retcon Pell's, by making his near "death" from the bomb allow him to become an Awakened Zoan.

Whitebeard and Ace escaping alive would classify as winning. WBP were always the Yonko crew front runners and an alive Post timeskip Ace would be top tier boosting them even further. They still don't stand a chance against the World Government even without Imu and co. Even if they wanted to...

It's still possible he does, but Usopp should have Reject Dials as his finisher.

Roger still has his ruthlessness to differ from Luffy. Luffy will beat anyone insulting his friends, but Roger will actually kill. Unless that aspect of him is changed Post-timeskip. Kaido considers him a soft pirate after all, but there's still the whole killing Squard's entire crew.

All we really know is that WB ended up having the strongest crew and be the unofficial ruler of the sea. But outside of crushing younger Crocodile, we don't have much else.

It's more just a theory for now. Loki's being somewhat more like an ice equivalent of Marco's fire. In terms of heat and raw power he's outclassed by the other fire users, but his has special features unique to him. Perhaps Loki is the same.

Loki another ice user. Unlike Aokiji or Yamato his might be special if that last panel is any indication. Perhaps Loki's freezing attack can't melt unless he chooses to. Could explain the Punk Hazard giants being frozen by maybe the last user.

It might actually be something that Oda works around to make more sense like Shanks losing an arm. Especially with things like time travel being a thing. The current year being that important can somewhat justify the speed.

Unless it ever gets shown, I don't necessarily think most of the fights were theme based. Like Izo should be stronger than fruitless Van Augur, and we do know he got scarred in the battle. Plus, we have nearly no information about Blackbeard's allies other than mostly fodder like Peachbeard.

Only see it happening if Loki dies. Which might be possible if his fruit is the one Rocks was looking for.

For paramecia's, what they create seems to count as separate from themselves even when technically "connected" so they don't take damage. Robin is a bit unique in the sense that she literally "creates" more of herself. Her cloned parts will take damage if she isn't fast enough to disperse into...

Good chapter. Presumably Shanks is getting intel about Nika fruit. We know eventually the government temporarily had it before Shanks ends up stealing it. All this in mind, I do wonder about the Yami. We don't actually know that much about it or even Thatch himself. Whether it was a random find...

Very doubtful, but not completely impossible. The last missing Road poneglyph was on Fish Man island which was Whitebeard's territory. On WB's orders, he might've split from the crew to hide it elsewhere and protect it from anyone getting close. But the timeline doesn't match up. It was still...
