Speculations Koby and Grus are ending the next arc as admirals
- Thread starter Monkey D Theories
- Start date
Fuji and GB were drafted, because the competition was likely too weak...
You have to be a solid top tier for that rank. We don't know how strong the admirals were during Rocks' time. So it's not even that relevant for the present, when we know how powerful present admirals are.
Hence jumping from Captain rank and his level of strength to admiral rank and that lvl of strength is a reach.
If Coby gets a very powerful top5 Zoan - granted Oda makes him a mostly haki based fighter - he might become a borderline low top tier, if he really awakened CoC for his honesty impact. But that's the highest I could see him at right now with regards to the time he has left.

Grus doesn't have a specific purpose in the story that we can pinpoint.
For Coby, we can assume for him to do what he promised - stop Luffy.
Can he realistically accomplish that purpose? Sure but he wont.
The narrative requires for Coby to fail in stopping Luffy because Luffy needs to succeed.
How would Coby suddenly be able to stop Luffy? Just give him anti-Luffy power.
Which power is that? CoC burst that negates DF abilities. Can Coby obtain that? Easily.
As soon as Coby would obtain DF-negating haki burst, he would even the playing field with Luffy.
While Luffy has more experience in actual fights, Coby is a trained soldier, which Luffy never was.
Remove DF from Luffy and Coby might actually have the upper hand, assuming he has aCoC.
You would probably come to the conclusion that such Coby is Admiral level. Is he though?
Perspective is everything. When you pair him with a DF merchant like Luffy or Blackbeard, Coby can look good.
But pair him against Zoro, Mihawk or Shanks and you will still see Coby as a toddler.

Being an admiral isnt like being yonko. You don’t need a strong crew or territory. You just need to be a powerful marine.
Koby and Grus, by Egghead feats, are already much stronger than the average VA. Koby with ACoC or Grus with awakening would easily be admiral candidates even if you argue they’d be weaker than previous admirals.

given Garp’s comment about them all being the future of the marines, as Grus’s prevalence in hachinosu, him being the new gen sengoku makes sense.
He backs up Koby like Zoro backs up Luffy. Helmeppo sure as fuck cant do that.

I don't understand why hate on Coby when from the first few chapters it's shown he'll be on par with Luffy
[automerge]1753717695[/automerge]
Luffy went from yc1 or yc+ to emperor level in two weeks
[automerge]1753717769[/automerge]
But I don't know if sword members can become admirals with the world governement, there may be sword admirals, Woby, Welmeppo, and Wrus or Woker or Washigi
[automerge]1753717938[/automerge]
Welmeppo, Woker, and Washigi soon
