In the pirate world, rather than saying that Admirals and the Four Emperors possessed the same level of combat power, it was more accurate to say that only those who reached that level were qualified to be called strong.
As for the so-called Emperor's commanders, Sweet Commanders, and All-Stars, before truly powerful fighters, they were basically sent flying with a single punch.
