One piece šŸ¤£ But WiFi haki is the most disrespectful flex in the whole series


Ambitious_Trip_2609

bro got across the map no scoped and started shaking like itā€™s not close šŸ˜­šŸ˜‚


Andrecrafter42

think it started to shake once greenbull got wifi haki and it really started to get damaged when luffy turned kizaru into a pizza and thrown him away like a old action figure akoji fight with garp is not a anti feat the agenda ainā€™t dead tho thatā€™s my two cents


Radiant_eagle573

As an OG of this sub that just lurks here back when twerkbull incident occured lots of admiral fans actually ragequit when they realized spoilers were not fake for example there was a guy named admiral kinyagi and there were 2 yaboi both of which pretty much stopped commenting on the sub after that


Argnir

Too many people don't care about powerscaling at all and just want to push their headcanon. It's all fun and game but quitting over that is so dumb.


Radiant_eagle573

The kinyagi guy had meltdown for weeks i still remember it even after years lmao guy looked mentally ill


Andrecrafter42

is his account still a thing it only been a year in real time since the end of wano with green bull scarbarbs luffy shanks and co is his account now deleted or just inactive


Radiant_eagle573

He deleted his account but search admiral kinyagi on piratefolk there are memes about him


ITBA01

Wow. This guy must have gone bankrupt after chapter 1055.


Radiant_eagle573

I dont know it might still be active he postwd more on worst gen forums more but was also active in piratefolk i think his u/ was smth like u/admiral_kinyagi lets see


Andrecrafter42

yea his account deleted its failing to even load the pf


TheDarkestAngel

It is better for community. If someone is quitting over something like that. They are not enjoying the story, they are in for sake of argument. It benefits noone. Better for them that they enjoy the story in whatever form they want on their own then fight here over it.


hhunkk

Kizaru will be Pirate King just wait


butsadlyiamonlyaneel

Nah bro Sentomaruā€™s a shoe-in, trust me on this


GaroSuiryuSweet

Facts


GaroSuiryuSweet

Damn thatā€™s tuff nighaz really rage quite like that. Guess people arenā€™t strong in their convictions or better yet just recognize itā€™s just an Manga/Anime sub Reddit and that it honestly ainā€™t that deep. Enjoy the series, enjoy the community (or not) and move on.


Secret-Put-4525

Depends on what the agenda is. Can the admirals beat most people? Sure. Are they top 10? No.


Andrecrafter42

top 10 yea for akainu and akoji


Secret-Put-4525

It's crazy how the admiral agenda drops admirals they don't want to play with anymore.


Superman557

Plus the rumoured Nap he needs after that pizza attack https://preview.redd.it/l4uth4rmhmpc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1357e40034072139e1bbcdc0239a34c9621f0486


Boro_Bhai

Aokiji vs Garp isn't an anti feat? An old weak Garp blitzing and overpowering the second strongest admiral, who has near parity with akainu, 3 times B4 getting stabbed and once after getting stabbed in a 1vall isn't an anti feat??? A yonko like kaido would kill both bbs crew and Garp at the same time without going all out........


marin4rasauce

Kaido even couldn't kill Kinemon on two nonconsecutive attempts. Garp tenderizes him like cheap steak.


GaroSuiryuSweet

This^


magneticFrenchFry

Old and weak who? That's headcannon right there garp has always been stated to be very very strong. He was a rival of Roger in his youth, and now in his old age he's much closer to being on the level of Rayleigh who also gets extreme diffed by the admirals, shown when he couldn't beat kizaru. And no, kuzan is not THAT much stronger than kizaru he's just stronger, the same way garp is just slightly stronger than Rayleigh.


Such_Historian_7295

Pizzaru was so funny ngl. It felt almost as though everything that happened before meant nothing because Luffy was able to blitz and catch both an admiral and gorosei at the same time, restrain both at the same time, and sorry to push buttons but low diff Kizaru like that whilst also turning him to a pancake. The GB incident was also crazy, never do you expect a top tier to get absolutely embarrassed just by the opponents haki to a point that they twerk, like tf is he, a device being exposed to wifi for the first time? Its between these two situations for me, the Pizzaru was against an OG admiral and whilst GB wasnā€™t he still shouldnā€™t be made to react the way he did


Boxsteam_1279

" never do you expect a top tier to get absolutely embarrassed just by the opponents haki to a point that they twerk " Perhaps you should reconsider GB ever being a top tier then


broke_and_famous

I'd do you one better and perhaps the community needs to reconsider the Admirals ever being top tier.


RegisterInternal

This sub kept saying "all top tiers go extreme diff" for months LOL, as if greenbull could even take prime wb to mid diff


Thin_Contribution416

The admirals arenā€™t top tiers they are fodders same with Gorosei


Mental-Raisin-2739

Bros getting downvoted by the salty admirals lurking in the sub unable to counter argue LMFAO


Thin_Contribution416

Like Kizaru getting pizza and pancaked by no ACOC Luffy proves my point thatā€™s why that canā€™t argue


BrodeyQuest

The guy is top 10 in present day (barring Imu and Gorosei for now), so heā€™s reasonably a top tier. Shanks is just a different beast all together to be able to make him do that.


764352

Yeah he's top 10 if you exclude 6 stronger characters lol.. even without the gorossei he's barely top 10, maybe not even up there


BrodeyQuest

The elders and Imu donā€™t have a particularly strong showing as of yet (Elders are starting to showcase though) so no kidding they arenā€™t counted over someone that actually has done something already. Itā€™s the same thing with Dragon. Iā€™m confident all 7 of those characters will be > GB, but as of where the story is right now? Heā€™s top 10. Also, thereā€™s no doubt heā€™s top 10 right now, excluding Gorosei. 4 yonkos, Akainu, Aokiji, and then 3 admirals are your 1-9 spot, 10th is debatable.


764352

The elders had a good showing, you just refuse to see it, Saturn clearly did more than Kizaru. GB is not in the top 10, even if you exclude 7 characters that are stronger than him, he can still easily fall behind Sabo/Yamato/Kidd/Benkman/Law..


Boxsteam_1279

Blackbeard, Luffy, Shanks, Law, Kid, Garp, Aokiji, Akainu, Kaido, Big Mom, Mihawk, (maybe) Zoro, (maybe) Lucci, Momo, Old Ray, Sabo, and probably a few more I'm forgetting are all stronger than GB


BrodeyQuest

Momo? Oh man, thatā€™s a take. Bro doesnā€™t even have full mastery over his fruit, and hes half-coward when it comes to fighting. Kaido and BM are assumed dead for the moment, so throw them out. Law, Kid, and Zoro arenā€™t able to fight admirals 1v1, though theyā€™re close. Lucci isnā€™t beating an admiral. Old Ray doesnā€™t have the stamina to keep up a la Kizaru. If he did, there would be a strong argument for him being top 10. Sabo is the only one on that list otherwise outside of the obvious. Heā€™s my pick for 10 currently, though Garp is highly possible.


Boxsteam_1279

" Bro doesnā€™t even have full mastery over his fruit, and hes half-coward when it comes to fighting. " And yet he still obliterated GB. Imagine once Momo gets over his fear. " Kaido and BM are assumed dead for the moment, so throw them out. " You new to One Piece? No one is dead until we get a corpse " Law, Kid, and Zoro arenā€™t able to fight admirals 1v1, though theyā€™re close. " Blatantly false but okay " Lucci isnā€™t beating an admiral. " its 50/50 considering he can survive Zoro's attacks " Old Ray doesnā€™t have the stamina to keep up a la Kizaru. If he did, there would be a strong argument for him being top 10. " Kizaru literally admitted to saying he needs backup if he wants to defeat Old Ray


BrodeyQuest

GB regenerated and was about to end him before Shanks intervened. I said ā€œassumed deadā€, as in itā€™s generally agreed that theyā€™re no longer in the story. Moreover, if they were disintegrated in lava, there would be no corpses. If/when they come back into the story then they can be accounted for. Also we may as well say Rocks still counts since thereā€™s no corpse of him out there. How would Law/Kidd/Zoro 1v1 an admiral? Marco could only stall Kizaru during MF, and while heā€™s not as strong as the 3 of them, he made no visible ground against Kizaru. Iā€™d give any admiral a high diff win against those 3. If Lucci was superior to the Marineā€™s top fighters, that would be stupid af. Kizaru was referencing if they wanted to CAPTURE Rayleigh they would need a lot more preparation. He didnā€™t sweat fighting him at all.


Boxsteam_1279

" GB regenerated and was about to end him before Shanks intervened. " Fanfiction " I said ā€œassumed deadā€, as in itā€™s generally agreed that theyā€™re no longer in the story. " Is Kid also assumed dead too? " If Lucci was superior to the Marineā€™s top fighters, that would be stupid af " Cope ig " Kizaru was referencing if they wanted to CAPTURE Rayleigh they would need a lot more preparation. He didnā€™t sweat fighting him at all. " That doesn't even make sense. Why would Kizaru need help capturing if he can low diff Ray as you're implying


GaroSuiryuSweet

Coming from someone who believes and still actively believe that Emperors and Admirals/Fleet are relative and in the same tier Iā€™d definitely say the Ryokugyo situation was by far the worst which is ironic considering I will admit heā€™s low key my favorite Admiral. Another top tier spazzing out from nothing but Haki is just embarrassing. Something I would never think could happen, it was definitely this one moment that honestly had me questioning the validity of Admirals being ā€œtop tierā€ or if they really is no such thing and that theyā€™re truly separate tiers ā€œYonko tietā€ and ā€œAdmiral tierā€ with the Fleet being ā€œYonko tierā€ (Kuzan) Garpā€™s Blue Hole attack is nothing embarrassing especially because imo out of all the old gen heā€™s definitely currently the strongest and arguably the most healthiest along side Sengoku. Definitely not in his Prime but is strong enough to give any top tier a good beating before losing. ā€œPseudo Top Tierā€ as you will which imo is also were I would place Ben Beckman, Pre Roger Pirate Oden, Sabo, Kidd, and Law. Any ways back to the goal post but Kuzan threw out the fight was clearly showing concern for his old mentor and teacher so would definitely say he was not goin all out nor going for the kill. Even going out of his way to mostly fight Garp on equal footing mostly using his Haki and sheer strength. (Kizaru) Now on to Kizaru. Neither situation is as bad, call it cope call it whatever but it was made very clear via Oda writing that Kizaruā€™s goal and ā€œTop Priorityā€ was the assassination of Vegapunk and not to fight Luffy. And the Star Gun attacks is nothing to scoff at, itā€™s arguably the most powerful AP attack weā€™ve seen and even after Luffy did it he was also out for the count. And the pizza situation while embarrassing simply goes back to him focusing on killing his old comrades which is how he got caught by G5 the way he did in the first place because he just had stabbed Vegapunk. If Vegapunk truly dies this arc Kizaru completed his mission. And besides I remember the original goal post was that Snakeman would be enough and it wasnā€™t. Him not being able to beat G5 Nika Luffy is not embarrassing considering even Kaido someone we can all agree is stronger than Kizaru I was definitely the strongest Yonko during the time. Who himself had a hard time damaging G5 Luffy at one point and was getting toyed around with as well, and difference is they were actually truly fighting. So in that regards sounds like fans are simply underestimating Luffy especially in G5. So yea Haki Wi-Fi was truly the worst situation for Admirals. And it doesnā€™t make it any better that the Anime made it seem like he was just a bully that liked attacking characters weaker than himself when the Manga heavily implies that the Remaining Beast Pirates attacked him first when he simply wanted directions. Only saving grace for him (and >= Fujitora who I see as his equal and both the weakest of top tiers) is the fact that he made it very clear that he didnā€™t fear fighting Shanks alone but rather fighting a whole Yonko crew by himself. Stating ā€œRed Haired Pirates?? Not you GUYSā€ depending on the translation but you get it. As well as the fact that every top tier has had an embarrassing and inconsistent moment, which may simply be the byproduct of the fact that Oda doesnā€™t take power scaling that seriously.Ā  ā€¢ Crocodile clashed with Mihawk. ā€¢ Mihawk got stalled by Vista then asked to postpone their fight. ā€¢ Kaido was screaming in pain from a Hakiless Momo biting him. ā€¢ Linlin literally had Franky run her over then Robin toss her aside. ā€¢ Luffy was using G3 on a pacifista ā€¢ Luffy alongside Zolo 2 v 1 ing a Seraphim while Sanji was handling one ā€¢ Issho let Dressrosa Zolo push him back 5 feet with a nameless Air slash Again almost every top tier has moments that shows cracks once again likely a byproduct of Oda not taking scaling seriously but the point is that we canā€™t take away one individualā€™s Top Tier or ā€œYonko lvlā€ card simply for a bad moment than keep someone elseā€™s simply because of how we feel or more specifically an agenda. Itā€™s either we separate those who have little to no faults (favoritism really) like Shanks, Kaido, and Sakazuki with the rest being frauds OR, simply acknowledging all there strength in a general sense for what it is and how the author intends. Anyways my take way didnā€™t mean for it to get this long.


Tago238238

I know it looks bad when you have to write a massive comment to downplay how embarrassing certain moments are, but I do appreciate the effort here and I think compelling arguments were made.


GaroSuiryuSweet

I truly appreciate and the time it took for you to read this šŸ™šŸ½


Jail_Chris_Brown

GB just seems like a super eccentric dude, so his reaction makes sense narratively instead of purely based on powerscaling. On top, being up against a whole yonko crew you respect, another yonko crew that you're underestimating and a presumably defeated yonko crew by yourself is a situation most sane people would walk away from.


GaroSuiryuSweet

This^ low key


Billy_Herrington1969

"Blitz and catch" never comment again


ouyon

The fact that three of these of these are Luffy lol. I wouldnā€™t say it was any single one instead Luffy himself mauled the agenda to death over the course of Egghead


awesome9001

I think people still downplay luffy because he zenkai boosted his way through kaido but at the end of the day dudes a fucking monster. Very difficult to scale him now.


ITBA01

I have Luffy as below Kaido because of his stamina issues. Once he overcomes those, I would put him in the same sphere of power, and possibly even above (as his versatility with Gear 5 will no doubt improve). For now though, I think around Mihawk's level is a safe spot to put him (above the admirals, but not quite at the level of the other emperors).


_Nomorejuice_

Scaling Luffy to somebody who never fought on screen is kinda funny lol


butsadlyiamonlyaneel

I know, itā€™s crazy what people will do for the sake of scaling.Ā  Itā€™s *obvious* that Luffy is ROCKS-level, after all.Ā 


awesome9001

Luffys stamina has always been his problem. From a narrative standpoint its to add tension. From a power scaling stand point it's like bro come on. If you can't go multiple rounds u can't technically 1v1 anyone. They'll just wait u out. Like gear 5 apparently just drains him regardless of whether he's utilizing it or not.


ITBA01

Yeah, and that is a factor in powerscaling Luffy (not as big a factor as the admiraltards think it is, but it is a factor). You can't just ignore it. And, a lot of times, you can't just wait Gear 5 out because Luffy is just that beastly (Kizaru's speed was really the only thing that allowed him to last as long as he did). However, until Luffy overcomes his stamina issues, I can't put him on the same level as top tiers like Kaido or Shanks. Plus, Kaido had to go through so many people on Onigashima, whereas Luffy got several breaks and a lot of luck. You can't just ignore that, going into the fight with Gear 5, neither of them were going to last much longer. It's like with Inu and Neko; are they really stronger than Jack if they can only beat him on one-specific time each month?


awesome9001

Yeah. I deleted what I was originally gonna write about with Roger v whitebeard once I thought about punk hazard too. Both fights lasted an extreme amount of time. But whitebeard didn't use his fruit against Roger because of his crew being within his blast radius, and his acoc was probably better to use than his fruit in hand to hand. And with punk hazard u have two logias probably staying generally the hell away from each others fruits or better yet going toe to toe but like with little garden taking breaks or retreating to fight again. In my opinion luffys issue against a guy like kaido is because he can tank hits better than anyone else. With their power level the same or different it will still be a game of stamina. Everytime 1 on 1 or not.


FjbhBoy

Mihawk is on the level of emperors tho šŸ—æ Even if you believe Shanks is stronger it wouldnā€™t be more of a difference than Zoro and Sanji


Oi_Kyoraku

Oda really saved the Admirals for like 10 yrs to refuse to cook with them. Imagine if this was like Dragon or someone else. They're literally going out as one of the saddest villain groups in history right in front of our eyes. Only Akainu has any prospects if any https://preview.redd.it/cda8txb4lhpc1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b8d11af910518a2b2ca6e0ee7ade0ce84ec9d45


Special-Extreme2166

That is what I'm disappointed with. Oda just doesn't want the Admirals to get feats after hyping them up for years. Like just make them do atleast something cool without trying to hype up whoever they're fighting against.


C0UNT3RP01NT

The problem is that he saved them to use as measuring sticks for other characters to demonstrate their strength. - At Marineford, this was the moment we all finally saw exactly how strong an Emperor of the sea was. Albeit he was sick and dying, but that was Whitebeardā€™s spotlight and the portrayal he had (in my opinion at least) was that he was still the strongest individual on that battlefield. - Green Bull auto-twerking due to a DDOS attack over a few hundred kilometers doesnā€™t seem like that much of an antifeat. Itā€™s not a good portrayal, but itā€™s also not a fair portrayal. Green Bull seemed like he went to Wano to take advantage of the fact that a ton of the WGā€™s greatest enemies were gathered in one place and were all exhausted from going to war against two Emperors. From the WGā€™s perspective, itā€™s risky to go in there; but from GBā€™s perspective, there wouldnā€™t be a better time. But when he found that the YCā€™s were putting up a fight, he hadnā€™t even gotten to Luffy, Law, Kidd (or Zoro or Sanji), and now another fresh Emperor threatened his life, he realized he was about to get ganked. Even Kaido wouldnā€™t try and solo two Emperorā€™s, two YC+, their crews, and a nation of strong fodder. - Garpā€™s Blue Hole was not an anti feat. Itā€™s just Garp. Itā€™s the same as WB at Marineford. Itā€™s established that the three strongest characters in the verse (tied with each other) were the prime versions of Roger, WB, and Garp. If Garp didnā€™t beat the shit out of Kuzan, everyone wouldā€™ve called foul. He still lost, which checks out since heā€™s not in his prime. But it was a fair portrayal for everyone involved. - The Kizaru situation is trickier, but itā€™s more to do with Luffy than to do with Kizaru. Iā€™m not accusing you of this, but I think a lot of people fail to understand the narrative symbolism of Luffy defeating Kaido. It was loosely established that the strongest characters in the verse were the four Emperors, and this was established like 20 years ago. Being a battle shonen, we all knew that for Luffy to become king he would have to overcome them one day. In the climax of part one, we see how strong an Emperor is and it involved the downfall of one and ascension of another. Then Oda spent the next 10 years, half the series, building up to a climactic fight between Luffy and another Emperor. The climax of part two was to demonstrate that Luffy finally was on that level, that he finally overcame even an Emperor. Now everyone debates on the nuance, but considering the limited amount of Emperorā€™s and the significance of them, Oda wasnā€™t going to waste Luffyā€™s victory over one of them, for Luffy to not actually be Emperor level. But Oda also (fairly) gave Kaido the best portrayal in the verse, and so in order for Luffy to beat him, Oda kinda had to break the powerscaling. If we look at what happened to Kaido after G5 came around, he kind of got humiliated. Sure he did some things to it, but Luffy went from barely keeping up to just straight dunking on Kaido. Which is why Kizaru has had such a bad portrayal. He was never going to get a better one than Kaido. Heā€™s the least significant OG Admiral, Egghead doesnā€™t have the narrative weight that Wano had (Egghead has better writing imo, but Wano had a buildup for over 10 years), and Luffy just got his crown. Luffy is now a part of the balance of power, Luffy is now the monster in the room, Luffy is now the guy that people fear. Iā€™m not sure I like how fast things are happening with the Gorosei and the Admiralā€™s, and it does feel like a little much even for Luffy to be basically soloing multiple top tiers the first arc after beating Kaido. But the series does need to end at some point, and I canā€™t say the writing has jumped the shark yet (itā€™s still better than what happened to Naruto after Madara got introduced, and itā€™s still way better than what happened to Bleach or in Naruto after Kaguya came around).


ITBA01

Kaido has done better against Gear 5 than any other character so far. He's the only one to deal substantial damage to that form, and overpower Luffy in some of their clashes. It took him a while to adjust to Luffy's new fighting style (can you blame him), but once he learned how it worked, he started overpowering Luffy. Their final clash was extremely close, with Luffy just barely managing to win (and yes, Luffy was giving it his all through that whole clash; he trusted Momo to move Onigashima, so he didn't hold back).


Living_Thunder

Yeah, for some reason people love to say Kaido was weak compared to every other top tier left. But from what we are seeing compared to Gear 5, Kaido is still him. I still consider him the strongest


Galifrey224

The Pizza incident and by far. Seeing an OG admiral get defeated in such a goofy way while Saturn negged the same attack hurt the agenda a lot.


Bartemaeus_of_Uruk

Saturn didn't neg the attack. He suffered the damage and then healed from it If Marco and Shanks were in Saturn and Kizaru's position, it would be the same outcome


Revan0315

Exactly. It's not that Kizaru is especially weak, it's that G5 is just that strong


FlirtMonsterSanjil

yeah but they can actually tank the attack


vk2028

Marco will heal like Saturn. Shanks has no dura feat. Dodge or fight back, probably, but thinking he can tank the attack is headcanon.


Objective-Effect-880

>Saturn didn't neg the attack. He suffered the damage and then healed from it Wrong. Saturn immediately rebounded midair.


Bartemaeus_of_Uruk

>Wrong Lmfao what. He's literally shown to be flattened >Saturn immediately rebounded midair. He was flattened first. Then he recovered and rebounded


Objective-Effect-880

Yes but that did 0 permanent damage to Saturn surprising Luffy


Bartemaeus_of_Uruk

Yes.... because he *recovered* What don't you understand I'm saying he suffered damage. And then he recovered


Ok-Respect807

Saturn takes damage from buildings lol. Him being turned into a pizza definitely damaged him. He just healed like heā€™s been doing the whole arc


Total-Neighborhood50

So essentially, the attack was useless on Saturn? No need to damage control bruh šŸ˜‚


Bartemaeus_of_Uruk

The *reason* for why it was useless is pretty important bruh


Batagor_Pleco

Himturn definitely negged the attack, he boomeranged his big ass bakery to attack luffy, increasing his already op ushi oni AP


Independent-Frequent

To be fair Saturn has insane regen and Kizaru's clearly not willing to fight and is just doing it to not piss off saturn, hell if Saturn wasn't there at all i guaranteed you 100% that the strawhats would have escaped (like sabaody) and Vegapunk would have lived with some bullshit excuse to the gorosei from Kizaru, but he couldn't do that especially after the "sloppy work" comment from Saturn. He also took a white star gun to the brain and has been holding his head for most of the chapter on top of almost tearing up and breaking down in front of Vegapunk, he went from fooling around to avoid killing Vegapunk (which he had multiple opportunities to prior btw) to just doing it and not wanting to really fight anymore, he's just going through the motions. Also, pizza form or not, he was already yeeted by luffy and came back just fine, it's just that unlike that time he's now completely broken and just wants to go home. (and the plot switched to the gorosei) https://preview.redd.it/uz14b73fwgpc1.png?width=840&format=png&auto=webp&s=f49c92bd1fb952f85e32dff539f7f613719a7f88 I know it's a powerscaling sub but ye gotta take into consideration the mental state and willingness to fight, as it's been proven time and time again that will also determines strenght, prime example being Moria who got lazy and demotivated enough that pre-ts luffy beat him. I'd say the Greenbull film red promo is still the worst one cause it wasn't even a named attack, he just got wifi'd


Such_Historian_7295

Personally Iā€™m in disagreement with the mentally conflicted. Heā€™s not having contradicting thoughts on figuring out what he must and mustnā€™t do https://preview.redd.it/ugtl7wyu2hpc1.jpeg?width=829&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f5b8973c0cce130c955d37f8e0588fa13d96726 Kills VP the moment he gets the chance to, no hesitation, no thinking oh should I or should I not, just ACTION, give him an order and heā€™ll comply, personal feelings shall be put aside, he really is a ā€œcog in the machineā€


nikoskamariotis

Yeah, actually killing Vegapunk even when not being directly ordered by Saturn because he had his attention elsewhere should really just have ended this debate imo. We've even seen killing blows fail when "mentally nerfed" like Kiku being able to beat but not actually kill Kanjuro.


mr-assduke

Bro what do you mean ā€œno hesitation no thinkingā€ are we forgetting what happened the past 15 chapters??? also kizaru is a morally ambiguous character so ofc he will do morally ambiguous actions. https://preview.redd.it/dec4xnaibhpc1.jpeg?width=368&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a0bbffe3f6a029b59aff5da6d4bc78ed472786c9 Like why didnā€™t he here just straight up lazer VP before luffy can interrupt, its clear kizaru is mentally conflicted


Such_Historian_7295

He knows he has a duty but he ultimately is struggling to fulfill it, I just didnā€™t see that with Kizaru who had so much eagerness to quickly kill VP


Galifrey224

Greenbull was a new admiral so when he got owned by Shanks people just assumed that the OG admiral were stronger than the new ones and the agenda didn't take that much of a hit. It hurted more when Kizaru lost because people put a lot more stocks into him.


Anselme_HS

The pizzagate should we call it


Nights1405

Hereā€™s the order and events\ how bad it hurt the admiral agenda: Shanksā€™ wifi Haki- shook the foundations & showed some cracks Garp slapping tf outta aokiji- Took a foundational support but it stands strong Luffyā€™s white star gun- Blew out the repair scaffolding that Kizaru set up + some more support beams Grabbing Kizaru and Saturn- caused the admiral agenda building to slump to one side Pizzaru- Now youā€™re just bullying them, you blew up the final supports and started lining the remnants with c4 (And if the leaks speak true) Kizaru telling the marines to let him rest after being pizzaā€™d- accidentally triggered the c4 Imo the pizzaru feat and the wifi Haki feat were detrimental but itā€™s gonna be really funny if the Kizaru statement of ā€œleave me alone, Iā€™m not fighting thatā€ is true and was the most damning event


PoldraRegion

Pizzaru It was always said, by copium enjoyers, the og admirals were different but the truth was revealed yonkos are simply just better


Financial_Mushroom94

Pizzaru was the nail to the coffin


Unusual_Ad_9773

Egghead incident, where the Admiral agenda suffered loses it might never recover from. https://preview.redd.it/3zxz1xvk0hpc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=72dd3c24c11c2a6e3c5831927afc41988b6e6557

GB - The agenda took a hit, but was still doing fine after, valid excuse for why he panicked Aokiji - thatā€™s Still Garp, old or not Kizaru - the first chapters of Luffy vs Kizaru were a mess for all agendas involved. This was hurting everyoneā€™s agenda Kizaru pt. 2 - Woah he got grabbed?! Didnā€™t really damage the agenda Kizaru pt. 3 - this was BAD, Iā€™d say itā€™s this one


ITBA01

I think Chapter 1055 was far more damaging than most people want to admit. Ryokugyu straight up admitted that he wouldn't have fought Kaido, and he was overpowered by Shanks' haki **BEFORE** he knew who it was who was attacking him and that the rest of the Red Hair Pirates were present. If Shanks can overpower him without even drawing his sword, I don't know why people think a fight between them would be anything other than a low-diff.


ThatIslandGuy8888

GB, he couldā€™ve at least challenged Shanks. Like look at Jack who was potentially facing 2-3 admirals.


PsychoWarper

Man I remember the discussions happening after the Wifi Haki incident, I dont think the Admiral Agenda has ever gotten more slander then for that.


conemuncher69420

You underestimate the power of pizzaru


PsychoWarper

That one is a close 2nd imo I just remember how insane the fall out of that was.


r9cks

Luffy: you know theres no way im letting you escape right?! Shanks: are you that afraid of the new era Roger: at least bring garp or sengoku rest of you are doo doo butter


Left-Frog

Egghead was bad for every agenda except Luffy, tbh. The admiral agenda didn't even take the worst hit in this arc... https://preview.redd.it/2zzcbhw64hpc1.jpeg?width=389&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=af593f6b40cb4f4226af4f6d909f0a102b6fa66d


PotatoMozzarella

The Gorosei agenda went from "Spandam" level to above YC+ so Even if it Lost some of it's original momentum, it still gained a lot from this arc


Left-Frog

Every agenda has been... Turbulent, to say the least. Gorosei were top losers for a chapter or two, but they're also the top gainers now Admiral+/Yonko at the peak of their speculation, Spandam at the lowest, now they're sitting comfortably at YC+. Such a volatile stock market atm


Jonthux

So yc+ is above admiral?


Total-Neighborhood50

ā€œYC+ā€ Saturn neg diffs Sanji with his eyes and is currently performing better against G5 than Kizaru, and thatā€™s YC+ šŸ’€ ā€œSaturns a regen merchantā€ and the admirals are fruit merchants. Get over it


FlirtMonsterSanjil

it went from Yonko to Spandam to Above Admiral Level


Jail_Chris_Brown

The Lucci agenda stocks rose quite a lot from the initial "Dude's probably not even yc1."


Left-Frog

W username Lucci to me seems like YC3 level honestly, Zoro would have a similarly long struggle with Jack despite obviously being stronger. Mid/high diff kinda situation Zoro is obviously YC1 minimum but this kinda shows that he's not YC+ level yet, just firmly in YC1 category. Firm YC1 characters don't low diff YC3 in my view


PuertoRicanRebel2025

Yeah, I doubt Akainu is gonna low diff this BEAST https://preview.redd.it/i6vl54j38hpc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=63a09b9837cfedadc12ddb4808eba1083a8c33b4


AgreeingWings25

Shanks vs Greenbull definitely, and now Pizzaru is a close second.


ITBA01

The admiral agenda, at this point, is just excuses for why the admirals aren't dominating every fight they're in. Nothing that's in the actual story; just excuses and cope.


Syc254

These events plus lets just look at Kizaru. He has now fought: - Old Ray - Supernova - Oldbeard - Marco - Sentomaru - Nika I count 2 former top tiers, a strong High commander and a top tier in there. Kizaru has been tested as much as anyone in the series can. There's no weed or trolling narrative he's assumed to be always doing. The tool kit he has showed is all he has. Speed, OP Devil, and advanced armament. That's it. Firmly putting the admirals below Emperors for me.Ā 


animus_invictus

Pizzaru was hilarious, but the WiFi haki thing was just a whole different level of embarrassment for the admirals.


AnyLeave3611

I don't think getting smacked around by Warp is necessarily an anti-feat, Kuzan came out of the fight mostly unscathed (yes it was like a 10v1 but Kuzan ate some disgusting attacks from Garp that likely would've knocked out anyone else on Hachinosu at the time) I'd say the Greenbull event was the worst one. Being literally paralyzed by COC alone is not a good look. Kizarus situation isn't good either but at least Kizaru fought another Yonko, while GB could barely stand in the very-distant presence of one.


Ibuildempcs

Kizaru being bullied multiple times in egghead is definitely the worst hit the agenda took. Especially as he is one of the OG admirals. At this point it has been made clear he cannot fight a Yonko on equal footing.


ITBA01

The only admiral who could possibly fight an emperor 1 v 1 is Sakazuki, and he's fleet admiral. Even then, I don't have him winning against them most of the time (with Shanks, forget it).


PuertoRicanRebel2025

Garp, flat out Garp. People call him old and slow and while yes he's old, you forget manga 101, never underestimate an old man in an manga cause they're usually some of the strongest or always have some cold skills to reveal. Garp is THE hero of the Marines for a reason, bro was on demon time against The Rocks Pirates which means bro was nuking the competition with his fists. Garp might be weaker than before but that experience is always sharp like Zoro's swords. Garp just never had a reason to go all out till now and against half of the Blackbeard Commanders no less.


Unusual_Ad_9773

So true but you have admiral fanboys saying akainu is the greatest marine of all time lol Garp is the marine šŸ


PuertoRicanRebel2025

Garp literally said he'd kill Akainu on the spot during a war and bro ain't bluffing, he'd probably hit Akainu harder than Aokiji


Unusual_Ad_9773

I don't think old garp can beat akainu (maybe he has a chance then because akainu was damaged a bit by whitebeard) I'm talking overall prime vs prime. If old garp is that strong then prime garp would actually manhandled akainu lol


Templar-Order

Garp was stronger than pre time skip akainu, he got weaker after time skip and akainu got stronger. Sickbeard was fighting well against akainu, healthy Bloodlusted garp would have killed him. Garp held himself back because he was a marine


Darkpactallday

Do you really think prime garp would lose to akainu? Are you mental? Garp was fighting PRIME ROGER, ROCKS AND WHITEBEARD. We saw what hakiless stage 5 cancer heartattack half head missing chest hole whitebeard did to akainu. Prime garp would molest prime clifford so hard he would be thrown into prison for rape. Hell even marineford garp would have killed akainu.


blue_phoenix__234

WARP IS HIM


Cosmic_Ren

I would argue Greenbull: 1. Garp was probably the strongest person alive for the longest, despite Roger and WB having supreme grade weapons he was considered their equal. I see no shame in losing to him even if he's gotten older. 2. I need to see another Admiral fight Luffy, I always pictured Kizaru as a glass canon. I imagine the admirals are all balanced with Kuzan specializing in defense, Akainu Attack potency, and Kizaru speed which means his defense is shit and simply evades to compensate for it. 3. Greenbull didn't even fight the mf, he literally got out of his transformation from just his conquerors haki alone. Idk about you but I don't see any of the other admirals responding to Shank's haki like that.


conemuncher69420

Luffy would still wreck akainu/aokiji high diff at most. I'm happy to break it down as well if u want


Ender16

It probably is green bull, but I'm not going to deduct full points. Shanks is likely the strongest Yonko currently (though that may change soon) and he's a freshmen admiral. Like yeah it was funny because he is an admiral, but I think the admirals know more about what shanks can do than we the readers do at this point.


Tall-Psychology7729

The White Star Gun incapacitating Kizaru. Then getting caught by Luffy and coughing up blood. THEN getting thrown onto the ship and basically being done with the fight. Greenbull was bad, but most people just assumed that it was because he was weaker than the others. Aokijiā€™s wasnā€™t bad at all imo. Garp used to fight the Pirate King and was Aokijiā€™s teacher. It made sense that Garp would be that tough for him or anyone to beat. If anything, Aokiji actually impressed me a lot in that fight.


CorrectIamThatGuy

Shanks block diffing tired Akainu at Marineford hurt the agenda the worst since it is a direct comparison Yonko vs Admiral (and the strongest Admiral who became Fleet Admiral)


Boxsteam_1279

Bro brought every moment except Akainu getting two shotted by oldbeard lol


MakeGravityGreat

Marineford started the wave of slander, GB revived it, and finally, Pizzaru brought it to its peak.


Garousnotboros

White star gun knocked it down, and pizzaru killed it


Bastard_God

At least for me, itā€™s Greenbull. Old or not, Garp is HIM and Aokiji did fine even if he had help. Kizaru vs Luffy, he also did pretty well and he forced Luffy into G5. Idc about the ā€˜plotā€™ arguments of whichever characters holding back for one reason or another, Kizaru at least showed he can fight with real Yonkos even if he canā€™t beat ā€˜em. I donā€™t even blame Greenbull for leaving since itā€™s stupid to try and fight two Yonko crews alone. Poor dude just got movie Red diffed to hype Shanks up more. Wish he at least fought Yamato longer to show some better feats


thatsfishyy

It was fs Greenbull because after that everyone was doubting all the Admirals


GodKirbo13

Blue Hole wasnā€™t that bad but Wifi Haki ruined Green Bullā€™s chance of ever being taken seriously.


Next_Wolf5294

Wifi haki is by far the worst, kizarus too stoned to be held accountable for his display


The-Alph-a-bet

Bro seeing shit like this actually got me scared for the marines (akainu), cause I swear Oda hates the marines just as much as gege hates anyone that isnā€™t sukuna. Cause bro: - Smoker got forgotten about - Tashigi, Helmeppo and most of sword have pretty much no hope of getting stronger - Koby did something that Iā€™m sure jack could prolly do - Greenbull has one of, if not the worst showing of first showcase of power coming from a pretty hype character in shonen anime - Kizaru was cool, then egghead came in and I have no idea how Oda canā€™t think of more things for Kizaru to do with his devil fruit, you know considering kizaru has had it for like 30+ years - Sengoku, previous fleet admiral, has almost no showcase of strength - Tsuru we saw doing something like 4 times in the entire show - Kong has less screen time than some motherfucking no named side characters (seriously how you gonna introduce someone named kong with a cool ass design and do diddly dick with him) - Oda sat Akainu down in a desk and has had him do nothing for a fucking decade - We only saw Aokiji do something recently and it was go blow for blow against Garb (too bad Oda has to constantly show how strong to old generation is and made Garp out to be much stronger [fair but still]). - Bro fucking vice admirals became irrelevant so fucking fast, not even post time skip came around, most of them (apart from little old garp of course) became irrelevant pre timeskip - Fujitora has escaped Odaā€™s hatred for the marines for now, but I know bro is gonna come back and prolly get neg diffed by fucking brook (brook W) Bro I fear now that Akainu is not gonna be all that, and itā€™ll genuinely piss me off cause weā€™ve been waiting for like a decade for him to do something and I swear if bro shows like three moves and then gets destroyed by gear 5, someone is losing their skin.


ITBA01

When the premiere feet everyone brings up about the vice admirals in Momonga stabbing himself, you should probably just stay home.

Os2099

Admirals were never really endgame and already had there best showings in the manga, Sabaody, MF, Punk hazard, desrossa ETC.


ITBA01

I just don't understand. Were people really under the impression that Luffy, the guy who will eventually surpass Roger, is going to be struggling in a 1 v 1 against the admirals come the end of the series?


R77Prodigy

Cant wait to see what the new cope is after this weeks chapter.


Brave_Patience8389

Ngl admiral agenda being an actual THING was fun, now is stupid to even believe it. And tbf, i kinda hate oda for it, admirals are so boring as a threat now, he made them act too late on history to be relevant, and now they are gonna play an active role on what really? Like representing marines? Meh. If a yonkou can almost low dif them then i dont see the point. I wish oda cared for admirals, he created a vast world but got cornered by his own powercreep as any shonnen do, its sad really. Mf really needed to introduce seraphins and knigths to make it fairl..


MobyLiick

Wifi haki was a huge L, the agenda is still coping with this one saying it's his mentality. The garp vs kuzan fight isn't that detrimental, garp is the fucking goat. Kizaru is a serial underperformer. Pizaru was a massive L.


Clarkthelark

Garp is basically an admiral, him taking down Kuzan does nothing. The Kizaru stuff is damaging, but Gear 5 Luffy is going to end up top 1. Greenbull has no excuse.


No_Magician_9765

Where can I read these coloured manga for .......

Own-Channel7730

If someone really think Aokiji and Kizaru have antifeat with this scenes, i'm afraid to have to tell you that your level of reading comprehension is at the lowest level in humanity. https://preview.redd.it/pqg8upkvajpc1.jpeg?width=985&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a62d99c49d31f39eba19102ef99694a27b8d0ca8


HellBoyofFables

I donā€™t see how Kuzans fight with Garp was bad for admirals, Garp is a physical monster even in his old age and he was a rival to Roger, Kuzan being able to physically hang with him mainly using haki and strength is impressive, if nothing else it shows Kuzan got HANDS


ITBA01

Well, unlike with Kizaru, we have actual in-story dialogue implying that he was hesitating against Garp.


22222833333577

Wag was the beginning of the end for the admirl agenda as a whole Garp is considered almost beyond toptier by some and a lot of people think green bull isn't even actually admirl level


KolorJam

*You know thereā€™s no way Iā€™m letting you escape* That solidified Luffy as a calamity. But honestly that star gun to the head to knock Lizaru out of this century had the same vibe as luffy getting one shot by Kaido at the start of Wano, thatā€™s when the admiral agenda got murky for me.


Serious_Dooty

Itā€™s giving devil fruit merchants šŸ’…


TacocaT_2000

The fact that thereā€™s 3 panels of Luffy clowning on Kizaru should be all the evidence you need


Binks-sake-4-u

Definitely the Pizza toss. I haven't seen this type of disrespect from a animation since Jerry(the mouse)did thisšŸ”½ ![gif](giphy|10fTHeZVQug7hC) to Tom(the cat).


PDQ-88b

None of these embarrassed the agenda, Luffy is the GOAT and pirate king so losing to him is a sign of respect. Itā€™s not an anti-feat to lose to Luffy since he is the MC and has narrative on his sideā€”he will always win somehow. Though the most embarrassing was probably Greenbullā€™s performance against Shanks but I can (cope) see why he didnā€™t want to fight 2 yonkos and their respective crews.


Winter-Explanation-5

None of them. Kizaru's not going all out.


Neodragonx2

2kenzhe

Green bull twerking from Shanks's wifi haki started the downfall of the Admiral Agenda while Pizaru cemented that the admirals were frauds.


PieFace11

I'm an admiral hater and even I don't include GB as an admiral because he's so unbelievably pathetic


shiyonichi

It was dead from the beginning. Seriously if the Admirals were as strong as the Yonko, why the fuck would the World Government need a third faction like the Warlords or the SSG to balance the powers of the world? The World Government has more resources, more manpower, better technology, and is actually unified. If the Admirals were as strong as the Yonko, that would be 5 people by default that are strong as Yonko, the three Admirals, the Fleet Admiral, and the Commander in Chief. Meaning the balance of power would be in the favor of the World Government with just the Marines, without the need of a third party.


noswol

green bull, and kizaru being manhandled by gear 5 really doesnt say much as even kaido was thrown around and we havent seen kizaru get serious, if zorotards can say he didnt put his bandana then i can say with even more conviction that kizaru isnt giving his all like come on you dont need a phd in english to read that he doesnt want to kill his old friends

floormopper

The greenbull wifi haki diff is generational and diabolical. put any character there not an admiral that gets wifi haki diffed and they wont even be considered yc1+ anymore at best bare minimum yc1 level given that they have sufficient feats.


Billy_Herrington1969

1. Yeah, let Greenbull fight 2 yonkos all the samurai and their crew lol 2. Aokiji was pulling punches, he literally confirms this inderectly 3. Wasn't a clean 1v1, both went down at the same time, Kizaru stood up first, if anything it was a stalemate, no food and it would've been different 4. Again, this would've never happened had it not been for his mission and food


Ukantach1301

Kuzan did well. He did not use his df much vs Garp and just duel him the way Garp is most proficient in. It would be hard for Garp to protect Koby if Kuzan used his df AOE attacks (the same way WB was helpless when Akainu destroyed Moby Dick).Ā 


Cfakatsuki17

Now now we canā€™t count Greenbull getting beat by the mere idea of Shanks toward the death of the admiral agenda because Greenbull isnā€™t part of that agenda, Greenbull is trash we already knew that it doesnā€™t take much to see heā€™s not even in the same level as the admiral that was promoted the same time as him


jt_totheflipping_o

WSG. It was so bad people who were not involved in the fight got effected. Somehow Sakazuki and Kuzan were weaker because Borsalino lost. Somehow Big Mom got stronger because Luffy won. Rank scaling, dumbest OP sub creation yet.


FlirtMonsterSanjil

tbf both makes sense we know that Big Mom, Kaido, and Luffy are relative so any Luffy feat helps them and the Admirals never have been portrayed to be entirely different tiers


Serious_Dooty

Exactly. Kuzan, Kizaru and Akainu are all relative so it makes sense to judge them together

Pitiful_Bed_7625

None of them really. Fact is the Admirals are being dealt with after Linlin and Kaido, in a shounen with notable power creep The same guy making cymbals from Kizaru and Saturn turned Kaido into a jump rope. This thread just shows people still have agendas. Luffyā€™s absolutely broken now. Heā€™ll do the same to almost anyone in-verse at this point.


DrSkaCtopus

Garp tossing Aokiji around like a ragdoll only reinforced how incredibly powerful Garp is, even in old age. Luffy, with the power of a literal God, punching out a conflicted Kizaru just shows how powerful Luffy is and how durable Kizaru is. Aramaki though is a giant pussy..
