So take heavy damage and leaving yourself in a weakened state for the sake of property and people you don't care about whatsoever?
Let whitebeard potentially sink the island or cause even more damage? Whitbeard could've easily turned the island over. I don't think this excuse is valid for why akainu high diffed a half dead yonko with cancer.
You would think that if admirals were so strong they'd have speed blitzed white beard as soon as he appeared and killed him immediately.
We see a 2 yonkos can take on 5 yc tier characters. Why couldnt 5 admiral tiers beat 1 half dead yonko with cancer and his yc before he got his boat to the shore?
Why even send out their own forces when they can literally just kill them while they are at sea?
I think this is Hella reaching.
I don't know why you guys always use inconclusive questions to argue manga facts.
We know what Punk Hazard looked like when 2 Admirals went all out.
Marineford during and after the war looked nothing like Punk Hazard despite 3 Admirals, 1 Fleet Admiral AND Garp being present.
So it is factual that the Admirals held back, there is literally no sense in debating that and it's not an excuse either, since it's factual.
If the Admirals went all out they would've destroyed the entire island themselves so yes logically they had no choice but to take the risk of killing Whitebeard before he could sink it.
Admirals can't speedblitz... that's not how One Piece works...
Characters in One Piece who are stronger than others don't "speedblitz" them.
Literally the only occasions where anyone got speedblitzed was Luffy vs Blueno and Luffy vs Kaido, those are literally the sole exceptions.
When Aokiji defeated all the strawhats combined he didn't speedblitz them... he just defeated them casually with his powers.
The reason why Kizaru "speedblitzed" the supernovas was cause none of them had CoO + he is made of light and therefore speed is his main attribute when fighting.
The Admirals cant simply speedblitz everyone, nobody can but they would have enough firepower to wipe out any army by themselves.
The Admirals are called the "World Governments strongest military power" even so they have the buster call which is part of their military power and is used to sink/wipe islands off the world map...
Why do you think Akainu and Aokiji chose an entire and also unhabitated island (Punk Hazard) as their "arena" for a simple 1v1 fight...?
Rogers and WBs entire crews clashed/fought a skirmish on a way smaller island for multiple days and the destruction wasnt even 1% of what Aokiji and Akainu did to punk hazard in a 1v1.
Why even send out their own forces when they can literally just kill them while they are at sea?
The Admirals are high level world government officers... they are
working for the Navy and stand under command of the Fleet Admiral.
They are not pirates sailing around and destroying islands and endangering the general civilisation.
If the Admirals were sent to destroy the yonko it would ignite a war and they would have to go all out which would result in entire civilisations getting wiped off the respective islands which is not the marines goal whatsoever...
Also simply from a story telling and world building perspective it wouldnt make sense for the marines to use the Admirals as weapons to wipe out the yonko, cause the yonko are a part of the 3 great powers and it was already stated that if those powers get disrupted the world would fall into disarray.
We see a 2 yonkos can take on 5 yc tier characters. Why couldnt 5 admiral tiers beat 1 half dead yonko with cancer and his yc before he got his boat to the shore?
If you remember Whitebeard came from underwater so how...?
Akainu took on all of WBs commanders at the same time and they werent even able to scratch him while Kaido was injured by way less people even including some of those same WB commanders who werent able to scratch Akainu.
