The Calamities who were portrayed either incompetent, stupid noobs or background characters.
1 vs 2-ed by Marco.
Queen choosing to shoot his own allies when his own crew was in biggest danger ever again after 20 years.
King the 007.
0 King's Haki
0 Story Relevance in Wano arc
7 Times Surprised, caught off guard
Negative IQ moron who randomly turned his flame off right after Zoro got a big power up.
Don't make me talk about poor, 0 named move Jack the Dragdown.
Meanwhile, this was Vergo's presence throughout Punk Hazard arc:
(oh right, for portrayal comparison. Casual Vergo broke Sanji's leg easily. Meanwhile this is what happened when Queen tried to attack Sanji
I know one was Sanji while the other was Judge's son, but still... That's what literally happened in the manga. Oda's choice)
For reminder: all four of Vergo's victims: Tashigi, Sanji, Smoker and Law. All of them are central characters supposed to grow massively during the timeskip. Punk Hazard is second arc after timeskip and debut for post TS Tashigi, Smoker and Law.
So we are supposed to see the growth of those 4, only to find out those 4 got destroyed by Vergo.
TLDR:
Vergo felt like REAL THREAT, DANGEROUS enemy during Punk Hazard arc. A BIG OBSTACLE.
Calamities are clowns that never felt like serious threats.
