I don't mind this. No way you can be serious with fodder bull being > Akainu and Garp > Prime WB takes? And L drake > WB??
Why wouldn't I be??
I said the combo post-TS admirals, which were stated to be the ultimate force of the Marines is over the pre-TS Admiral Combo. What You're basically trying to argue for is that the position that represents the power of the Marines, Admiral, became the weakest, while Marines are recognized as most powerful in their history... and while all the other organizations upgraded:
- SHPs upgraded
- Warlords upgraded
- 4 Emperors upgraded with Teach
- BMPs and BPs upgraded their armies
- The RA kept on upgrading, with likes of Sabo getting stronger
- CP0 upgraded
- The SWORD upgraded
ALL the organizations upgraded... but the Marine's ultimate force, the 3 admirals... downgraded... EVEN THOUGH.... Tiger and Bull are coincidentally the strongest Zodiacs after Dragon in the Chinese Zodiac.
If you want me to do a GB vs Akainu comp, Im more than happy to. Though in a direct fight Akainu is a bad matchup due to the fire weakness (if its an actual weakness).
Theres nothing in the series that establishes Akainu as the strongest out of the Admirals, other than simply fan assumptions on his role down the line and strength projections based off of that.
Garp > Newgate is fairly simple. Monkey D. is top 1 of every era.
Prime Drake > Newgate, already made a whole thread dedicated to what I think Drakes future is as the Fleet Admiral after Fujitora.
