First it is difficult to gauge the level of difficulties the 4 gave to the admirals. Fujitora had a bandage on the head but it doesn't mean much for me in one piece.

And Sabo in DR for me doesn't have YC1 portrayal : Sabo was more or less serious and Fujitora wasn't and still Fujitora more or less played with him. So for me Sabo was not YC1 high high tier yet

RayanOO

Yes he managed to be stronger after and train but we don't know at all his level now and giving a result can only be headcanon so I keep Dressrosa Sabo level for now.

For me he is one of the strongest mid high hier or the weakest high high tier at best.

And if we say that Morley is around YC3 and Karasu/Lindberg YC4 they can totally clash against 2 nerdfed admirals during some time and with the surprise effect

@RayanOO consider the following points:
* Sabo in DR was very new to his fruit.
* Kaido oneshot Luffy. Admirals do play with YC 1 level characters.
* After DR Sabo trained to get better accustomed to using his fruit.

Cinera

@RayanOO there isn't much reason to believe the admirals were significantly nerfed. Not anymore than Sabo himself was at least. Sabo didn't want to burn down the Reverie either as their enemies are only the Celestial Dragons.

Cinera

Getting mid diffed by an admiral is better portrayal than Marco has. He was unable to damage either Borsalino or Sakazuki, and could barely stall the latter.

Cinera

DR Sabo was strong enough that he could credibly stall Issho.

RayanOO

Obviously Sabo trained a little with his DF so he must be a little better with it. But we can't really know how much : we don't know how much he trained how long etc.
So at best Sabo just joined the YC1 club

With MF we can say that with focus a YC Top 2/3 can tango angainst a serious nerf admiral just fine during some moments. Sabo and Karasu jumping on a nerfed Fuji can surprise him enough to be hit a least 1

RayanOO

MF admiral and Fujitora didn't have the same serious at all for me. The MFadmirals were there to kill or KO , while Fuji was there to stall

RayanOO

The admirals couldn't use all their powers because they were in MG. They cannot take the risk to hurt the CD the palace etc. And we know that their DF has quite good AOE. I think Sabo and co had a lot less restraint : the despised the WG, wanted to rescue and avenge Kuma etc

Cinera

At MF Marco, he failed to damage any admiral at all in Marineford. So nope, Sabo's feats are substantially better than Marco's non feats at MF.

Cinera

Even when Jozu surprised Kuzan, he only gave him a lip bleed. Mere YC 1s get low diffed by the admirals. Sabo's feats are much better.

Cinera

Sabo and co couldn't use their DF that well either. They despise the Celestial Dragons not the World Government. Only the Celestial Dragons do they aim to overthrow.

Cinera

Ryokugyu is probably a mythical zoan, and I guess he doesn't have as large an AOE as the others.

RayanOO

Marco feats are a lot better than Sabo : Marco was in a real war during hours, took lasers in the body and still kicking, took one Garp punch, clashed or fought during a little time with the 3 admirals, stopped Akainu on his tracks during some moments.
What Sabo did ? Beating Burgess ? And getting stalled by a non serious Fujitora ?
Sabo feats can't compare for now.

RayanOO

Yeah Jozu managed to stall Aokiji during some moments before he was frozen because of lack of focus.

Imagine now Jozu and Vista jumping on Aokiji in one of MG corridor. I can bet they can hurt him a bit.

Sabo and a solid low high tier can totally hit once Fujitora in MG. And Fujitora frankly doesn't seem that hurt.

Finalbeta

It appears all out Fujitora might have needed more than low difficulty to put down Sabo, at least judging by their clash

Cinera

Marco did zero damage to admirals in Marineford. He couldn't even stall Sakazuki for long.
