After thinking it through, Charlotte Mousse roughly estimated Huo Lisha's eventual level of strength in the original timeline:
"After Old Cai awakened the ultimate meaning of Hasshoken, Chinjao agreed to let him break off the engagement. In other words, from then on, Old Cai no longer needed the Two Treasures Navy's support to maintain the Eight Punches School's power and status."
"Huo Lisha was probably far stronger than Old Cai before his awakening, but not strong enough to leave awakened Old Cai an entire tier behind."
"Before awakening, Old Cai's bounty was only a little over 200 million Berries, and the strength he displayed was nothing remarkable. He should have been a relatively strong third-rate fighter."
"Huo Lisha's lower limit should have been a tier above that—a relatively strong second-rate fighter, slightly stronger than her grandfather was now."
"And her upper limit should not have been a full tier above awakened Old Cai's. In other words, at most, Doflamingo's level? I wonder whether she failed to fully realize her talent, or whether her talent was never as terrifying as I'm estimating now."
