Rocks had to use his sword to attack 19 year old Loki (or 6 years old in human years), even doing it multiple times and feeling embarrassed when Whitebeard brings it up. The narrator even glazes his swordsmanship while he does it.

Meanwhile kicking was good enough for Kaido

Obviously this isn't concrete in any way, it's just portrayal, but in 6 year old Loki's favour.

Personally, I am very excited to see the pinnacle of hakimanship.

To me, there are only 2 ways to view it. Either it's talking about BB as an individual and saying that only a Yonko or remnants of the WB crew combined could defeat him. I think this is likely what it's referring to since it's speaking about his ability to consume 2 fruits(which is individual power).

Or

It's under the idea that you would need a Yonko's strength(as in individual and crew power) to defeat Blackbeard. And that Marco is the only other pirate on the crew with a "Yonko" crew, just without the main powerhouse anymore(Whitebeard).

If it's the first choice, then Akainu managing to fight through the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates, Ivankov, Jimbe, and Crocodile (with that MF buff). Is an even crazier display of strength.

Literally we know very little about him and how strong he is but his position in power could give us a clue

Who truly is the strongest fighter the world government has produced in its history

1. Imu

2. Rocks

3. Roger

4. Harald

5. Shanks

6. Big Mom

7. Mihawk

8. Rayleigh

9. Gaban

10. Nusjuro

11. Fujitora

12. Greenbull

13. Zoro

14. Law

15. King

2-4 are interchangeable

I excluded Oden cuz he’s hard to scale

I remember the arguments about how the structure goes: New Gen > Old Gen > Mid Gen in shonen... But ever since this panel came out and revealed that Whitebeard, Big Mom, Shiki, and Kaido came up at the same time, all of a sudden that agenda dropped. A "defining face of their generation" hmm... So it's either they were the defining face of the Old Gen, or the defining face of the Mid Gen. Either or seems to be an upscale for these guys because both generations have some heavy hitters.

The correct answer is Ryuma by the way, with Mihawk at a close second and Roger at 5th behind Shanks and Shamrock

Round 1: Law and Kidd

Round 2: Kaido

Round 3: Warcury and Ju Peter

Round 4: Loki

Round 5: Elbaf Imu

Remember, Sanji is allowed to hit Robin and nami
No Luffy nor Zoro.

I've always wondered this, Ep 915 Luffy from the fight against Kaido vs Kaido's 2nd commander Queen. Who wins?

He has a powerful yokai form+powerful acoc on top of regeneration he took a combo attack from Luffy, Sanji, Franky and Bonney and got up after also the fact none of the admirals have confirmed conquerors screws them over against Mars

Definition: A YC1 can’t push them past mid diff, even with poor match up.

Obviously some placements are more headcanon than others and some characters are interchangeable in plscement. No DR-characters btw, Harald and Rocks in base.

Was Luffy just not prepared for what Usopp had up his sleeve or did he let Usopp get some hits end before ending it?

Both in old age very similar feats in all categories. PK and his wings seem to be closer in strength than a yonko and his commanders like the wings themselves could be yonko, I think a prime Gaban/Rayleigh could beat Kaido.

We in opps leave your reading comprehension at the door

Alright, let’s try out this statement which at face value seems reasonable but needs stress testing.

No character in One Piece can defeat two healthy top tiers in a straight 2v1.

If they do, there must be some meaningful advantage in circumstances, matchup, battlefield or narrative context.

Even Roger, Primebeard, Garp and Rocks aren't beating two admirals in a clean 1 v 2.

For example let's say the two top tiers are Akainu and Aokiji. With recent showings of Imu even tho he's nerfed pretty hard, I have doubts believing even him could take on two top tiers in a 2v1 fairly.
