1. Nobody is calling them top tiers
2. Thats bullshit and we know VAs have wildly different scaling between its members. We have no idea how members like Momonga or Doberman, etc perform, because we have not seen any instance where they are defeated outside of hax fruits like Hancock's. Then you have people like Garp and VAs with Admiral codenames.
Page 1 was a joke to Sanji who struggled with Vergo, and didnt get a fight at all between Punk Hazard to Wano. So that point makes no sense
So disingenuous that he didn't even mention the raid suit that boosted Sanji's speed and durability along with making him invisible.
Like. The raid suit was objectively a better power up than a solid devil fruit. The clear clear fruit.
And most of the VAs are a joke.
We even see Mozambia and Stainless introduced as fodder for Doflamingo.
These are HQ vice admirals lol. It's suggested Doflamingo could easily kill both at the same time with just a few movements of his hand.
That's quite different than Luffy needing gears to take on Page One.
The vast majority of VAs are a joke.
We literally saw 5 or 6 vice admirals at marineford unable to stop Oars Jr.
