Powers & Abilities The new magazine calls Holy Knights the strongest unit in the World Government

I think Shanks can take any Admiral 1-on-1 and win, but not diff.
I don't think all admirals are on the same level, but neither do I think the gap between the original 3 admirals and the 2 new is as big as people make it out to be.
And, lastly, I don't think Garling can be a threat to any Admiral, poor dunked-on Aramaki included.
That's fair. I personally hold C3 Admirals in high regard so I feel like they have at least some chance of beating just about anyone that's not a god or DR'd.

I think new duo are strong, not as much but they just need feats. Aramaki especially has decent ones outside of THAT moment and I honestly feel like his bullying by Shanks is misinterpreted.

50/50 on Garling. I despise him and think he's overhyped but I could see him buffing up after becoming a Gorosei and/or GV.

Just out of curiosity, any thoughts on other top tiers? Yonko, old gen etc.

Admirals were referred as 最高戦力 which means highest war strenght/higheset fighting power.
The thing is that there's no unit called "admirals" in the series.
Admiral is a rank , the highest after Fleet Admiral. It happens that there are three individuals sharing this rank, but these three are not part of one properly structured and hierarchized group, they answer to the Fleet Admiral, but that's the case for every marine.
it is reflected in the way Oda introduced them and use them : Each admiral got their own individual introduction.
What I mean by how Oda uses them : Admirals are like lone wolfs, they rarely work together and never take part in the same mission,stuff like Marineford are an exception not the norm (and it wasn't a mission, it's just that all the strong marine were called in)
Aokiji went to meet the straw hats on his own during his introduction
Kizaru was the only admiral sent to Sabaody
Fujitora was the only admiral sent to Dressrosa
Ryokugyu went to Wano on his own
Kizaru was the only admiral chosen to escort Saturn.




Admirals are treated like individuals that all happen to be the equivalent of weapons of mass destruction, not a single homogeneous troop because as I said the unit "admirals" does not exist to begin with.
examples of what is referred as 部隊 in the manga aside rom HKs :
Sword secret unit

Super Spot Billed Duck unit

Basically it's a literacy issue.
Aside from admirals, Gorosei are not concerned by this magazine statement either for obvious reason.
And HK isnt a rank LOL

the Vivre Card info is only canon when it fits in your agenda lol.
This is literally what Admiral fans do though.
You can say it's nonsensical to use this as proof of HKs > Admirals, but you can't say it's not hypocritical for an Admiral fan to complain like that lol. The most popular Admiral fan on here is routinely mocked for his thread he made two years back where he fell for a fake scan a 12 year old boy made on Fandom saying Akainu is the strongest Marine

When Akainu needed 10 days to defeat Kuzan.
