Dude this is why I say you are still stuck in 2018
“Stuck in 2018,” yet all of the Kuzan scenes happened in 2023 during Egghead. Lol
Clown I said Zoro has repeatedly stomped people far stronger than Vista.
Zolo has canonically only fought 1 dude stronger than Vista in the form of King. And this gets back to what I was saying about Oda plotting Zolo to victory.
It was widely criticized by the broader fandom that King only lost to Zolo because King literally turned his invincibility off by firing off his flames when there was zero reason for him to do so. If King would have just kept his flames on, Zolo would have eventually lost, but Oda instead had King snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by having him perform an action that made absolutely no sense, so that Zolo could achieve a victory he didn’t earn or deserve.
And see this is the opposite of what Oda does with the Admirals: He always gives them reasons why they can’t show their full power, emotionally nerfs them but not their opponents, places them in scenarios where they have to hold back, etc.
And this is why I stated: the Admirals are so powerful that Oda constantly has to nerf them so they don’t end the manga. Meanwhile Zolo is the opposite: such a weakling that Oda literally introduced an invincible character so Zolo could accidentally fall into a win he did not deserve.
You disregard this because you are a liar. Lol
Literally stated in manga chapter after he defeated King and Queen "He is picking on the injured or something alone those lines.
You know your evidence is weak when you aren’t even able to pull the quote you are referencing. Lol
“Allow me to now make an argument based on a quote I don’t even remember”
And no, the scabbards were completely healed when Gigabull attacked, and the scabbards took far more damage than King and Queen did. King and Queen are also fast healing Zoans while the scabbards are not.
Regardless, King and Queen being wounded
does not change the context of the quote I gave you. Gigabull doesn’t state “I’d lose face if I lost to weakened opponents,” he states “I’d lose face
if I lost to commanders.” At no point did Green Bull imply that he could have lost if they were fresh, and in fact his words imply that he still would be expected to win anyway.
Now Lucci is debatably not even stronger than Vista at all, but Zolo canonically did not beat Vista as I already proved to you, Lucci recovered from Zolo’s slash instantly and Jinbe had to punch him away, grab Zolo, and run lmfao. At no point did Zolo knock Lucci out during that encounter.
And RIGHT NOW Zoro is about to Stomp a Dude who might legitimately kill all the Whitebeard commanders Akainu fought for 2 minutes at most and did nothing more than Aura Farming and defeating Curiel who is at best as strong as a gifter.
If you think Sommers can beat Marco alone, you are a legitimate clown.
As a teenager, Marco fought against the prime Roger pirates and was not defeated:
This is even crazier now that we know Gaban and Rayleigh have comparable legends to Roger himself, and this was literally a rookie Marco.
Gaban stated that the Roger Pirates bodies the Holy Knights numerous times, but they could never beat a rookie Marco who was only sparring with them and not seriously fighting against the Dodger Pirates.
At Marineford, he blocked Kizaru’s Yata Mirror which in the recent manga shot straight through Sanji:
Kicked through Kizaru’s guard when the same base Luffy who could badly injure Kaido could not do:
Blocked a magma fist from Akainu which blew his captain’s head off:
Was objectively winning against Big Mom:
This scene is even more humiliating in color:
Marco looked better 1v1 against Big Mom than Kid and Law looked against her for most of their 2v1.
Had an extended fight against King and Queen simultaneously where he was getting in big blows against them both:
“But trust me bro, solo’ing King and Queen isn’t a big deal!”
While severely wounded, blocked Kaido’s Bolo Breath easily:
Marco legit has strong feats against more top tiers than anyone else in the verse. Unlike Mihawk, he is actually a character Oda deemed worthy of clashing against top tiers, and never outright losing.
You know which top tier wasn’t worth Marco’s time?
Oh but one thing changed about Admirals in terms of Portrayal, instead of "defeating" Yonko's commanders when they are not looking, now they are punching bags for actual top tiers.
The Admirals have canonically either beaten or had great portrayal against more top tiers than Mihawk has ever even laid eyes on.
This guy is stronger than Mihawk:
This guy is probably around the same general level as Mihawk:
Remember how Oda didn’t deem Mihawk worthy of facing Whitebeard?
Now what did Mihawk think of the Yawnco?
What do the Admirals think of the Yawnco?
We see two different instances of Admirals being unafraid of facing multiple Yawnco, while Mihawk was clearly afraid of picking a fight with Yawnco.
There is more than I have even mentioned here, such as Admirals canonically restraining themselves or even not using their fruit powers to overwhelm/fight equally with the old legend characters who are stronger than Mihawk, to Akainu defeating Aokiji, to Blackbeard running from Akainu, to Dragon openly stating he didn’t want to start a war with the Marines, to Gigabull negging Weevil but being scared of starting a fight with Fujitora, etc…
Either way the portrayal is clear and overwhelming. Mihawk is simply a top pirate, nothing more. The Admirals are far far above that level.
