Crocodile: You are weak WB. Not the same man who beat me.
WB: Yeah I can't be strongest forever.
Exactly, and Marineford demonstrated that he was weaker than the Admirals. Glad we agree. Sengoku then, after Marineford, after everyone saw how weak Whitebeard was, confirmed that Whitebeard was still the strongest Yonko.
Outright confirmation that Admirals are above the Yonko who can’t defeat Marco 1v1. There’s nothing wrong with outright admitting defeat against Marco and running away from him like Big Mom did.
This is basic reading comprehension. Teach even confirms that he grew old and weak and that if he was younger he would have been able to save Ace.
Sure. Point is, I’m glad we agreed that because the entire world never said Marineford Whitebeard was weaker than the Yonko, that this clearly means Whitebeard was the strongest pirate at Marineford as confirmed by the entire world and Sengoku and Kong in particular. Text bubbles are never wrong in One Piece.
Again though, he was weaker than the Admirals of course.
