Chaton was quite dissatisfied with Bony-Sen's claim that their current strength was insufficient to contend with Ronglin. Although he was only a Vice Admiral, his strength was on par with that of an Admiral. He was evenly matched with Fujitora and Green Bull; few outsiders simply knew of it.
The world's greatest fighting powers were the Marine Admirals and the Four Emperors.
