There was no denying that some Devil Fruit powers were stronger than others.
For example, Ace's Flame-Flame Fruit was considered inferior to Akainu's Magma-Magma Fruit. Of course, from the perspective of potential, the burning and flames represented by the Flame-Flame Fruit might have held greater potential.
But magma started at a higher level, and its destructive power was fixed. In many cases, magma's lethality far surpassed that of the Flame-Flame Fruit.

Whether there was a reason or not, Almighty Push.
Jiraiya had discovered that Almighty Push was truly useful. Ice, magma, or even Kizaru's lasers—he only needed to blast them all away.
