smoker is +- on admiral level but rank kaptain

It's true that Smoker said that his attitude makes the World Government keep his rank down (though he's a commodore now, not a captain), but admiral might be pushing it a bit. We've seen a bit of what Aokiji and Kizaru are capable of, and I don't think that Smoker could match that, at least, not yet. Perhaps by the end of the story Smoker will be an actual admiral, or at least an admiral-level fighter, but as of now, that seems to be overestimating him a bit. I would say that Smoker could be called roughly equal to a vice-admiral, which is still extremely strong. Remember, vice-admirals are the ones who deal with Buster Calls, and the ones we've seen so far have seemed pretty strong.

And here's a helpful reference guide to the Marine hierarchy.

i think near the end of one piece, that the world goverment is actually gone, the marines still are there.

and that koby is admiral, and smoker replaced goatman

also im afraid that koby will eat a Devil fruit soon.

there is noargument about the high officers strength, esspecially the admirals. its a must in order to be a true force and not just a title.
but about how they get that strength i have a theory:
remember that balackbeard was looking for that speciphic fruit,and he knew what it was acording to its shape?its kind of strange the cp9 members didnt know what they will get but still...
the WG must have a supply of DV to give to allready strong and loyal officers. i guess its posible they keep the logia ones for high officers.
