Actually just calling yourself a pirate is enough of a crime to get chased by the marines lol. Now, if A gets some attention and gets captured(take buggy or any pirate from level 1), he would be sent to ID just because of the sheer hypothetical power he has. All he has to do is prove that levels 1-5 really can't contain him for him to be sent to level 6.
Not being able to be contained in Levels 1-5 is a feat in itself. Impel Down is the world's most impenetrable prison, but there are no doubt other prisons where lesser criminals are sent to. If Pirate A gets a little attention but doesn't commit any major crimes he will be sent to another prison and not Impel Down. However, if he got a decent bounty he would be sent to Impel Down.
And how do you know the prisoners could not take death wink? All we saw was that they got hit, nothing else. We also do not know the mechanics behind death wink. If it has something to do with haki(big if), then it would be quite a fearsome attack and it would not be surprising if it actually knocks out level 6 starved prisoners in one hit.
How do you know the prisoners could take the "Death Wink"? (
http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/540/16/). If they were Level 6 strength, they should have been able to stand up to it. From the picture, it looks like they were blasted backwards quite a bit.
I guess this is kinda subjective but I don't think luffy at this point is strong enough as level 6 prisoners. The opponents who IMO were level 6 material were enel, against whom luffy had an unique advantage and could not be hurt by enels strongest attacks, crocodile against whom luffy got kinda lucky IMHO and moria who luffy never fought head on except for while(and got his ass handed to him). The ones at SA were also level 6 worthy but as we all saw they easily kicked the strawhats asses. As for lucci, I think he is at best level 5 worthy but by no means level 6.
Enel hasn't really done anything against the World Government, but yes power-wise I agree he is Level 6 material. Likewise, I also think that Lucci is Level 5 material.
Level 6 prisoners are as called by crocodile silver medallists. They were people who got defeated by people such as WB. Luffy at the moment is a supernova. A supernova is a pirate who has conquered the first half of the grand line and got a rookie status. How can a rookie even begin to compare to a silver medallist? Luffy is strong and has been incredibly lucky but IMHO he is just strong enough to be sent to level 5(while his feats would send him straight to level 6).
The question is:
"Do you think Luffy should be in Level 6?" Not just based or strength or feats, but a combination. In your opinion, Luffy isn't Level 6 material in terms of strength compared to some of the other prisoners in that level (e.g. Crocodile, Jimbei, Ace) but in the World Government's (and mine) opinion he is. In their eyes, regardless of how he's achieved it, Luffy was taken down 2 of their Shichibukai, tore down Enies Lobby and broken out of their most impenetrable prison. The World Government will undoubtedly see him as strong enough to be in Level 6.
enel # 4? gotta be kidding me he took out zoro & sanji &moves at lightning fast speed luffy only won because of his rubber and he still almost lost

Like I said IMO, he hasn't really done anything against the World Government. You don't get into Level 6 for solely being powerful. I should have made that Level 5 actually. I'm not too keen on where Enel should be placed because it's really up to your own opinion and there's too much speculation involved.
how the hell is luffy not lvl 6 material he beat down moria dont even remember crocodile he beat moria and im not talking about nightmare luffy i mean he himself when he was dead tied and in grave condition took out 1000 shadow moria, moria fought on par with a yonkou and im pretty sure any of the yonkou would be sent straight to lvl 6 and luffy beat him he is easily a level 6 oh and lets not forget rob lucci, rob lucci who was in such high regards of the navy if hes not level 6 then just about every in level 6 isnt level 6 material
I agree with you here.
Hawk and Law - both level 5 imo
I would say that the vast mayority of the supernova's would be sent to level 5. Capone does not strike me as a extremely powerful dude so he might end up in level 4.
Level 6: Luffy
Level 5: Kidd, Hawkins, X-Drake, Law
Level 4: The rest
All up for debate

When I judge what level a character should be in I place myself in the position of the World Government. I know I've probably done it by bounty (which isn't always a good indicator), but that's probably how the WG would have decided to do it. Besides, IMO Luffy, Kidd, Hawkins, Drake and Law are the strongest of the Supernovae also.
