After leaving South Blue, the East Blue Emperor entered the waters of the East Blue for the first time, sailing along the current of Reverse Mountain.
At the bow, Seven stood with his hands in his pockets, his cape fluttering in the wind as he gazed at the calm sea ahead while savoring those two battles from not long ago.
Swordsmanship, Armament Haki, Mihawk is stronger.
Conqueror's Haki, Observation Haki, and physical constitution, I am stronger.
Black-haired Garp, truly a powerhouse.
Still, being able to cut Garp and make Garp bleed, I have at least reached the level of Axe Emperor Morgan now—yep, a solid Emperor-tier powerhouse.
As for whether Sea Emperors or Marine Admirals were ultimately stronger—
This question was just like asking whether Whitebeard or Akainu was stronger; it was really not all that easy to answer.
Whenever these two questions popped up, one could predict with almost a hundred percent certainty that the disputes were beginning.
As the two best hook questions used to bait replies in his past life, even after transmigrating to the pirate world, Seven still found it difficult to give a precise judgment on the matter.
Yet if the question were changed—say, who was stronger, Rocks or Whitebeard?
That became very easy to answer.
From this, it was not hard to see that Sea Emperors and Marine Admirals were most likely combat forces situated on the same tier.
Parenthesized disclaimer: most likely.
Once a battle reached the Admiral-Emperor tier, it was exceedingly difficult to decide the victor in a short time, unless one could reach the kind of strength Rocks possessed, casually killing a Marine Admiral with a single slash.
Rocks, after all, had a verifiable combat record.
Even a desk-duty Admiral was still an Admiral, after all!
Yet strong as peak Rocks
