The Four Emperors and the Admirals

In this chapter, I'll analyze the combat strength of the Admirals and the Four Emperors.

Some people also asked earlier why I made Gaban so weak, so I'll answer that here too.

As the "copper" aboard Pirate King Roger's ship, Gaban should be weaker than Rayleigh. I don't think anyone would disagree with that. Add in his previous injuries, and that's why I wrote him as being so weak. Gaban still hadn't appeared in One Piece, and there had to be a reason a character like him hadn't shown up. Most likely, he retired into seclusion after being injured.

Some people say the current Gaban would have a forty percent chance against an Admiral. I don't think that's realistic. The Admirals really aren't that weak. Take Rayleigh's fight with Kizaru: whether in the manga or the anime, Kizaru had the upper hand. Rayleigh's stamina had declined with age, and was Kizaru really giving it everything he had?

I don't think so. At the very least, we still haven't seen Kizaru go all out.

Besides, the Four Emperors and the Three Admirals are counterparts. You could also say they're on the same level. If the Four Emperors could defeat the Three Admirals, there would be no point in the Navy existing. The pirates would have wiped it out long ago.

The Navy has every navy in the world as its enemy. Although the pirates' lack of unity plays a part, the Navy's strength is beyond question.

The latest chapter also said that Haki was the ticket to joining the very strongest. That statement undoubtedly boosted people with powerful Haki, such as Garp, Zephyr, Shanks, and Blackbeard.

Of the original Three Admirals, Akainu currently looks to be the strongest. Don't let the anime mislead you. In the manga, an elderly, badly wounded
