It's not downplay. They > yonko too.

Akainu solos all five
As for Gorosei > average top tiers (including Yonko and Admirals), its possible
We are looking at reality bending powers potentially, will have to wait and see what they can do on Egghead

We might be heading into final war Naruto level powercreeps

Y’all realize it is possible that each individual Gorosei may have a Nika level Devil fruit and awakening lol, on top of CoC very likely

I think mid top tier for now is my guess for them, but they could be > Ryokugyu and Fujitora

It was given. Them being weak old men never really made sense.

Gorosei will overshadow both yonkou and admirals.

Only exceptions I see to this rn are Blackbeard and Akainu.

Admirals being weaker than Gorosei isn't downplay.

They might be stronger than the average top tier

It’s downplay because factually Gorosei fall below admirals and feats wise they have nothing outside failing to capture Sabo in 6 vs 1 and making a fodder head explode.
Gorosei > admirals literally relies on headcanons about the direction the series MIGHT take.

@Kurozumi Wiwi: I won't say it's factual that the Admirals are above the Gorosei.

There's a good argument to make that they are, but:

1. The rank and file of the marines did not know the Gorosei are combatants, so the rest of the world probably doesn't.
2. Saturn implied it's been a very long time (centuries?) since he set foot on the world's surface.

@Cinera Long time could mean simply mean decades tbh. I think it's possible Gorosei were former holy knights that happened to be the strongest ones. I don't feel like Saturn is trying to hide his power here. The problem with Gorosei being > etablished top tiers is that who will fight them? Will they all fall the hand of EOS Nika god tier Luffy? Will Luffy have several allies a clear cut above the like of Kizaru?

I could see final war Zoro being above generic top tiers, but not the rest. I have the feeling Oda will stay reasonable with the power inflation, with Imu being the exception. So at most Gorosei are relative to other top tiers with hax abilities.
