All of that is true. Yet, also in pre TS One Piece Shiryu was said to be as strong as Magellan, was he not?
Magellan who is leagues beneath an Admiral, i hope you agree.
Magellan would be, in my opinion, a YC at best, not even YC1.
Too over reliant on his fruit.
But again, it makes no sense to power scale in OP.
And he got a fruit that, unless awakening does something, has a ridicolous power, or ar people now saying that Absalom was good?
