The story is literally telling us he's weak compared to characters now
You ZKKer dumbfuck. Oda literally stated he was meant to be in
Wano.
If he was in Wano, who would be his opponent? That's right, the other guy stronger than Zoro that's not Luffy.
Him having the "Joker" title and being tied to Law automatically puts him above King, Queen or any fucking fodder that's meant for Zoro/Sanji.
Even though the King low/mid diffs takes are pretty ridiculous I don't see how you make a realistic case for Doffy to beat King.Doffy hasn't shown attacks remotely close to what it took to break through Kings defense.
You realize his gimmick is literally a poor man's version of Bartolomeo? How do you beat Barto?
Stop comparing the captains to these executive trash. Didn't you learn from the Kid/Law downplay?
Even Jack is implied to be stronger than Doffy. Post Dressrosa and Kaido valuing Jack and calling Doffy weak is inverse confirmation Jack is stronger.
The problem though is feats. Doffy is well written and his feats and potrayal outside of Kaido statement places him higher than at least Jack and arguably equal to King/Queen who are also equal. Oh he also has a higher ceiling than the calamities
An Admiral about Doffy "He's an exceptional pirate. Sent all the Admirals after him."
An Admiral about King/Queen "Stop wasting my time you Bozos"
You retards still can't comprehend how highly Oda ranks the Top Pirate Captains, even the ones who aren't Yonko.
