That's why I said yes and no
It can’t be. I am disagreeing with you lol.
The “emotions and feelings” of the arc dictate Whitebeard being weaker than the admirals. “The way things should have been” yeah Whitebeard again should’ve been weaker than them.
I'm not saying Even while Sick and all he's still firmly above them but he gave them a run for their money a span of a few hours.
What does this even mean?
Against Aokiji, Jozu straight up had to save Whitebeard because Aokiji was about to put 4 ice spears into his chest. Then Jozu got crippled for life later on.
Against Kizaru, yeah I don’t even want to talk about that one lol. Kizaru treated Whitebeard like he was treating the supernova at Shabondy lol.
The only moment where Whitebeard looked like he could do anything more than push any admiral to low diff, was where he sucker punched a distracted Akainu, and then got his own head blown off in the process before Akainu goes on to solo multiple warlords and Whitebeard's entire crew by himself.
He didn’t give any admirals a run for anything. He would’ve had to fight for multiple days for us to say that.
