Ground Rules for the Power Level Discussion Thread
​

As always, please follow the guidelines set by the Forum Rules that apply across the board.

It's important that discussions from a current chapter are spoiler tagged until 24h have passed from an english release.

• For the sake of constructive discussion, where and when possible please quote/ source any information you provide. Particularly when it comes to conversations carried over from other threads.
• Avoid passive agressive posts, sly remarks or baiting/trolling. You can certainly have fun or disagree without it being at someone's expense.
• Only use anime examples that are canon and as means to provide clarity to pages in the manga. Any other anime material is otherwise non-canon and should only be referenced if it can be proved that the mangaka had approved it.
• We will strive to avoid repetitive discussions and any extensive battle topics will be guided to the Davy Back fight to existing threads or new ones can be made there.

As of now these topics are shelved due to repetitiveness or until the manga can present us with material to further discussions:

1. Shanks v Mihawk
2. Hand to hand fighters > Swordsmen
3. Zoro > Luffy
4. Zoro v Sanji
5. Is Smoker a top 30 character?
6. Mihawk's rank within the story
7. Law having CoC currently.
8. Katakuri > Kaido/Luffy/Etc.

If you wish to continue any of these discussion and remove it from the list, you will need to provide manga material as proof. If there's also anything you think we've covered numerous times, let me know and I'll update the list.

This is the only warning there'll be regarding these ground rules, anything no adhering will be removed. So please just check your posts before posting them.

Curious that you went straight to Mihawk?

It’s not like you left anything to guesswork. The guy definitely doesn’t look like Vista (not that he is a fraud either).

Nothing like that, at best a deflection.

Lol no, as im MY agenda

Luffy's strongest strength is his heart. What is his strongest ability? I think it is the Ryou Blast. It can kill anyone in one hit except the Five Elders. Conqueror's Coating can prevent this, but Blackbeard might not have it unless he went through a spiritual awakening of his inner strength.

Wait until Luffy start to use it on fodder and they survive

Not sure if this has been discussed before but do y’all think the 3 OG admirals would low diff Kaido 3v1?

No….Kaido wins if you ask me.
PTS Akainu > Kaido however.

 

[Bandit99]

What did Akainu do in 2 years to make you think that?

Stand Out from the rest of the OG Admirals
By becoming Fleet Admiral.

Hmm but all he did was defeat another admiral for a promotion. That means he can beat kaido on his own? Nothing about his ability changed

 

[kkck]

I doubt akainu from two years ago would have won against a yonko. Even kizaru didn't beat luffy and luffy went down because his awakening tired him out. Fighting kaido is the equivalent of fighting G5 luffy except luffy doesn't have a countdown. Akainu could have and probably has grown stronger since two years ago though. I could see him being a match, the plot potentially even requires akainu being stronger than some yonko now.

 

[DeadlyBeast]

In a 1v1 I'd definitely bet Kaido would take out any of the OG admirals. But the question was in a 3v1 which I think is just ridiculous to even think Kaido would win. Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji working together against Kaido would be overkill and definitely one where they, the admirals, come out on top without even being pushed to their limits.

 

[HereNThere]

As an Admiral Stock owner, I also agree that Kaido would likely outfight any OG Admiral in 1v1. That said, I think the fights would be close. Akainu, in particular, should give him a good run.

That being said, we still don't know what most Admirals are capable of when they truly unleash. We are only now getting more of what they can do. Kuzan had long been implied to have been a beast when it came to physical ability, but we finally see that he's somewhat comparable to Garp. And Akainu won against him. When they start busting out more haki feats and Awakenings, we'll have an even better idea.

 

[LadyVados]

This man was also said to low diff 99% of all swordsmen... ended up being a fraud anyway

And I didn't name names.

Curious that you went straight to Mihawk?

I see you’re still living in the fantasy of Mihawk being commander level despite having a bounty of almost 4 billion?

But that’s besides the point. Even Vista is stronger than 99.9% of swordsmen. He’s a Yonko commander.

Even if Mihawk was only Vista level he’d still be stronger than 99% of swordsmen.

Technically Mihawk is a Yonko Commander. So I win

He’s out of line, but he’s right.

 

[DeadlyBeast]

Let it be known that THIS particular master swordsman is a FRAUD and he is clearly meant to reflect the style of another master swordsman in the current OP timeline (i.e. the feather cap and fancy pomp)

What does this say about the character he is meant to call to the viewers mind?

Let us pause for reflection

Finally saw this and damn all the visual resemblances are uncanny. Would be so hilarious if Oda went this route in OP and the only competent fighter in Cross Guild is Crocodile.

Technically Mihawk isn’t a yonko commander, he is god’s commander.

All 4 of the current yonko are mythical zoan’s I just realized.

BB has the dog dog mythical modal cerbabussy

luffy has the sun god fruit

buggy either has the rain god fruit(luck) or the buggy d clown mythical zoan.

and finally shanks has the rat king fruit

 

[LaGOAT]

Current akainu is yonko lvl it’s not even a debate

 

[Fox666]

buggy either has the rain god fruit(luck)

Luck?

Dude got a 3 billion bounty on his head, but is actually a weakling. He's basically a target, while the real Yonko run business behind his back. Who also constantly torture him.
