Current Events Do you like that BB is not yet as strong as we expected

Blackbeard is still insanely strong, his goofy showings have nothing to do with what he’s capable of.
Don’t forget that he was strong enough in base form for Yonko Shanks to put respect on his name, then he acquired 2 of the strongest devil fruits in their respective categories which he has not yet demonstrated a fraction of their power or a potential awakening, then you also have an unknown 3rd devil fruit.

I never had him as top 1 or final villain so his showing rn reflects how I think he should be but tbf I think he’s only now getting serious, we’ll see how things go next chapter I don’t expect that crazy of a jump, kurozu + quake combo beating Law isn’t unbelievable. Rn he doesn’t feel stronger than Kaido or BM and I struggle to understand how he could be above Shanks either, like imagine if those other emperors had the same opening Law had this chapter idk man.

Because Law was able to hurt him? 1st of all of course he isn't as Strong as Kaido or Big Mom but he has the abilities to make him the Strongest.

anyways this isn't Dragon Ball where Every Character from now on are able to tanks hit like Kaido did.

Yes and no.

On one hand I liked the "mastermind BB" who directed the whole Marineford war to profit the most while he was already one of the top dogs of Marineford war while Luffy was just a minor character in the whole mess (or he should have been if it wasn't for the plot).

Now it is strange having him fight quite evenly with Law, this means Luffy will at the very least do the same and that doesn't sit well. He should start to become an absolute monster by this point and be a shadow over the whole OP world but instead he is in this fight (he can still be playing, also in the end he will steal a copy of the poneglhype and si beat Law but there are a lot of degrees to this point) but what ruined him was Oda having him run with sweat on his face from old Ray. Why not having Ray killed and BB retire only at that point? You start to cut some characters finally, BB is established as ruthless and powerful finally giving again to this stale manga a sense of threat from the enemies, Jesus Luffy would have seem less Jesus and BB character would have get the justice he deserves. But honestly at this point it is stupid to even hope for some kind of redemption..

For the yes part.. I still like the benefit focused BB we are seeing, are there some worthy gains? Then fight. Nope? Run, reputation means nothing. Also Oda make him gain (with a rude rude plot not worth of what he did with Ace and Marineford) the cards he need to find laugh tale by being an actual pirate. Also him fighting Law, even if it seems an evenly fight until this point, still feels like BB when he fought Ace, laugh, suffer etc. So it is not so bad. Also it is weird to have BB appear continuosly now, going from Amazon lily to Wano like nothing, bah.

Teach looks fine.

It’s the same weakness he’s always had, which is not a physical one but a mental one- like Whitebeard said, overconfident and careless.

The new bounty is also a big giveaway we aren’t seeing Prime Teach yet. He’s still below all the original Yonko. Prime Teach will be above them.

I expected better but he obvi is just starting the show. I expected 2 DF BB to be on the weaker side of yonko spectrum and that does seem to be true. Lets see what happens on 1065
There’s no way he’s stronger than Kaido or Big Mom, wasn’t stronger than healthy Whitebeard, no way he’s stronger than Shanks either. Just looking at the bounties gives us a clue but beyond that OG yonko are of a different caliber than Teach. He And Buggy the weakest.
