three things:
1) why do people downplay admirals? i personally think they are not as strong as yonkos (especially the og ones), but they are in a slightly lower tier: if og yonkos are SS, admirals are S idk
2) No matter what you think, but bounties portray Luffy vs Kizaru as an equal fight, and considering Kaido fought 12 people, it makes sense that an admiral-level character is able to beat him 1vs1
3) italy is the best country in the world. france in the mud i enjoy it
