General & Others Has Oda ever emphasized nerfs as much as he did with the admirals at Mariejois?

I swear, I can’t remember another time Oda bashed us on the head SIX times that characters were nerfed in two chapters.

1. “Ryokugyu if any of us get hurt you’ll hang!”

2. “Damn, it’s impossible to fight here!”

3. “I’m summoning a meteor— NO YOU IDIOT!”

4. “There are two admirals here, if we were anywhere else they could turn the battlefield upside down.”

5. “The Revos are doing good even considering the handicap.”

6. “Fujitora helped the revolutionary captains free the slaves and Ryokugyu turned on him.”

And yet clowns will look you in the eyes and tell you Oda doesn’t care about the portrayal or power of the admirals anymore and that they’ve been made irrelevant.

So tell me, why is Oda going out of his way to preserve the portrayal of the admirals if we’re not supposed to be impressed by them anymore.

Give me a fucking break.

When he had sanji fight wanze, tank cp9 attacks, and then khalifa after already running through a whole train of enemies

Just to mid diff jabra

What a fucking nerf.

Or maybe the wci thing with sanjis wrist bombs, zeff being in danger, and the threat of going after the crew.

I genuinely can’t think of any of other instances where Oda went out of his way to emphasize characters being nerfed several times in such a short timespan.
I expected the flashback to just imply admirals were restrained since it was supposed to be a RA hype flashback
Didn’t expect Oda to be so straightforward and literally have a character tell us Fujitora was actively helping the RA lol.
 

Fujishiro

Cheese for everyone!

Why are you tagging people you know will agree with you instead of tagging people you wish to convince?

In reality the revs were nerfed far more. They didn't have Sabo, they were focused on rescuing the slaves, attacking celestial dragons, destroying the food reserves all whilst battling on even footing with an admiral. Also, admirals actually had backup, tons of soldiers were seen attacking the revs so they had to deal with those too.

Also lmao at the implication that those nerfs even come close to what the Whitebeard pirates went through. Admiral fans spent the better part of a decade ignoring heart attacks, hostages, sea stone handcuffs and multiple crew mates betrayals. Pretty ironic you feel like you're on the other side of it now.
