General & Others Powerscalers (Agenda Aside) is there a way that your favorite character can not be one of the strongest and that not be an issue for you?

At his age I doubt it. Tbh it looks like both awakened their fruits in the fight and the fight probably ended just because Kuzan ran out of juice first and Sakazuki could get in one good hit that took Kuzans leg and ended the fight.

I don’t get why you think there’s going to be a gap? Seems counter productive to everything we know about the two
It's simply the way they're portrayed. Even outside of their clash, Kuzan is portrayed below current Blackbeard while Sakazuki is likely going to be an extreme diff fight for Luffy in the future.
Which kind of implies Kuzan < current BB < or <= Sakazuki
 
Daz-Bones uses devil-fruit blade attacks and still isn't a swordsman
\

Yet Fujitora with his devil-fruit shockwave/meteor based attacks should be considered one?
What is this nonsense? taking something a completely different character has said, and using their own viewpoint, and then trying to apply it to another character?

Unlike Fujitora, Daz doesn't actually wield a named high ranking blade that he had to tame to his will.

Nor is there any indication of Daz bones training swordsmanship since childhood:
Unlike Fujitora
 
He is at the bar scene plus captains are usually stronger than underlings
At the bar scene, Teach was the one apologizing trying not to get into a fight when Lafitte mentioned ganging up on Kuzan. The person who looked better there was Kuzan.

And usually yes, but Kuzan didn’t join teach cause he respected or feared him like what usually happens when people join crews, he did it out of convenience.

Kuzan has never been portrayed below BB, hell Oda purposefully hiding Kuzans bounty until BB gets a much higher one is pretty telling that when Kuzans gets announced it’ll be above current BBs

Because he usually likes to try and invite strong people to his crew first. He did that with Ace.
And Oda specifically made it so BB couldn't use the Gura there or else he'd shatter his crew. Hell he couldn't even fight in general there since it was highly likely he'd hit one of his crewmates and shatter them.
He made Kuzan have hostages to justify Blackbeard not fighting him and winning.

Blackbeards shown the willingness to sacrifice his crew for a strong fruit before, BB backed down like that because he knew he couldn’t beat Kuzan.

Sakazuki >~ Kuzan > Blackbeard. When Blackbeard gets his third fruit, he’ll finally surpass them and Oda will release Kuzans bounty since it’ll finally be below teachs, but that’s only after BBs next power up. Not currently.

He's not sacrificing the majority of his commanders just to cop a Logia that's inferior to his, lol. Come on now.

The only commanders frozen were Pizarro and Vasco, two commanders that could’ve been easily carried away by sanjuan or anyone else while the rest fight Kuzan.

Blackbeard didn’t want to fight Kuzan, Same reason he didn’t want he and his crew to fight Sakazuki, they weren’t ready for that level.

Do you think he couldn't have frozen more of them should the need arise? Also, Blackbeard has highly destructive powers, so his crew's in danger regardless.
There's no way they could fight without Blackbeard accidentally injuring his own men.

If Blackbeard can’t at least hold Kuzans attention enough for his crew to escape that’s even more clear.

Blackbeard doesn’t care if he injures them. He says himself they’re not friends.

Again it was just the same thing with Sakazuki, BB and his crew weren’t ready for Kuzan so they had him join instead.

I mean it's not hard to run from a fight and target someone else for a second. Kizaru did that a lot in Egghead.
And it's not about them being friends, it's about him needing his crewmates so he can become the PK.
Again, they always try to invite someone strong to the crew before fighting them. They did that with Shiryu and Ace.
Blackbeard could have beat both of them but yet the first thing we saw him do was ask them to join him.

It would be hard from someone who’s power involved gravity manipulation and can break apart islands to create a gorge like what WB did.

Theres a difference from immediately inviting someone and literally backing down apologizing cause your crew started a fight.

Teach has never been portrayed above current Kuzan for good reason.

I don't know how you can act like Teach Is scared of fighting Kuzan when he wasn't even afraid of fighting Emperor Luffy lol
