tell me a take that would have my cat as it was in the photo.

The admirals are the navy’s equivalent of Yonko’s, and this has been portrayed from their introduction. 4 yonkos for the pirates, with one usually being clearly stronger than the others. (Shanks, whitebeard) 3 Admirals, 1 fleet admiral.

In all the Yonko vs admiral fights (excluding green bull vs shanks, I’ll discuss it later) admirals have won. They won against whitebeard, and more recently, Kizaru easily beat Luffy while being mentally nerfed. Admirals are actually above Yonkos if you look at the actual cannon fights, but I still think the admirals and yonko are equal because of story and plot.

With all that, how do people even get the idea to place admirals 2 tiers below yonkos on a tier list? Yonko level and admiral level is essentially the same thing. The only way I see anyone thinking yonko’s are way stronger is because of green bull vs shanks, but that’s the strongest yonko vs the weakest admiral, and green bull himself said he just went because he didn’t plan to fight anyone strong and didn’t want to, so it wasn’t even that bad of a defeat.

Oda even went out and showed us that if marines had bounty’s like pirates, the admirals would and do have the same or even bigger bounty’s then the yonko’s.

With everything in mind, it’s completely unreasonable to put Yonko’s a tier above admirals, and I have no idea how anyone could even get the idea that Yonko’s are that much stronger If they thought for more then 5 seconds.

Kinda copying Electronic turnips post on one piece powerscaling, this is how I think Oda wants titles to be seen.

Mihawk, Whitebeard, and Kaido. What do these characters have in common? They have no clear wins over any top tier in the verse, but are still stronger than a lot of them by virtue of their title. How is this related to how Oda uses titles? Well, it’s actually exactly what Oda wanted for them.

Imagine Oda wants to make a new incredibly strong opponent for Luffy next arc, but he doesn’t want to draw them beating other top tiers in a fight. How does he portray the character as stronger than them without giving the character any clear wins against any top tiers? Simple, he just gives them a title.

Titles are what Oda uses to make a character stronger than others without having them win against other strong character. Without his title Mihawk would just be seen as a bum who fought shanks years ago when he was young. With the title Mihawk is a top tier, and top 5 in the verse, by virtue of being stronger than shanks since shanks is a swordsman, despite not beating him in any recent fight to show he’s stronger.

oldbeard without his title wouldn’t be considered a high yonko, he’d probably be considered mid yonko because of his age and his not-so incredible feats. Instead he is a high yonko because of being the strongest man in the world, despite his best feat being fighting and clashing with shanks (clashing ≠ equal) in the middle of his ship with all of his crew and still not winning clearly.

Kaido would be considered an average yonko if not for his title, since he just clashed with big mom as his best feat against another top tier. Instead he‘s high yonko because he is the worlds strongest creature, making him stronger than the other yonko’s despite not winning in a fight against any of them.

This is how Oda uses titles, he uses them to make characters who would be considered average or below average and makes them top tiers, and he’s done it pretty well.

looking at it now it’s so cooked 😭 the swaps I’d make is dragon ahead of Mihawk and shanks but behind the rest of the legend tier, and blackbeard and Akainu ahead of Loki and Luffy

>!He was fast enough to take Bobby, crawl through the vent, eat him, run all the way to Clark past everything despite multiple spaces being so small he would have to slowly shimmy through, but not to catch up to the therapist who took 10 billion years to open the door, run across the couch’s, and crawl through the doggy door?!<

>!another thing I’m wondering is how did he even know where Clark went? Clark was so far ahead of him that pirate Clark shouldnt have even know where to go to find him, so how did he? When Clark was so far ahead, the screaming shouldnt even have been audible to him.!<

ts is frying me, bro’s built like a twig 😭

why is there a new mod? what did okanimator click on? what is pf? why is vance back? and why is everyone saying we’re cooked?

i HATE Mihawk.

Mods need to give this guy a custom flair for most unemployed atp.

We‘ve seen guys with no jobs, guys who don’t take showers, guys who don’t even know the basic concept of hygiene…but never this.

I don’t think anyone will surpass Generelcmd in how unemployed they are, atp it’s impossible.

Its absoulute peak 🥹✌️

just funny stuff.

second image unrelated.

Imagine if your favorite character was said to be the x repeatedly and 20% of the fan base still thinks he’s not the strongest at that. Imagine arguing with someone about something so simple. They also get clowned for saying he’s strong despite another person who’s a x is strong, and you’re favorite character has been repeatedly said to be stronger than any x. I would genuinely crash out.

I will still argue he’s under shanks just because I hate him though.

so cute

1. Mihawk

I hate bums who hide, he ducked his rival for a decade, along with other swordsmen, and hid in the east blue to fight fodder. Still somehow pk+++ because WSS swordsman title he hasn’t proven, and is based on the assumption shanks got weaker because he lost his arm.

2. Loki

He just feels like a quick way to make Luffy extremely strong to me. Before this ark Luffy and the others were strong, but it made some sense to put them below roger and wb. Now in one ark everyone’s PK+++. It just feels like he’s oda’s way of making everyone way stronger really quick, without much explanation, and creates plot holes as to why if shanks was so much stronger than kaido and big mom he didn’t take their land and was admitting inferiority to wb, if he supposedly Mid/low diffs him.

3. Zoro

He genuinely has 0 character depth, just ”I want to be the strongest swordsman!“. Oda makes him seem cool by making him tank stuff, and that’s his whole personality. His equal sanji is way more interesting to me, he has a cool backstory, a cool goal, and a good reason for all of it. Compare Zoro to him and zoro looks like a brick of a character.

what do yall think?

I have impact drake blade coming tommorow (don’t have enough for the full set), so I need low rush. I got these 2 instead of golem rock. this cost 19, golem cost 16. Did I make the correct choice?

I guess I pulled it too hard

1. top-man

when you see him, you know he’s about to aurafarm. When he’s in a room, he intimidates. He needs no introduction.

2. Akainu

I just like him as a person, only one with good morals in the story, and he feels realistic.

3. Big mom

she was the first character in OP to scare me, and she’s pretty cool as a character.

This is decided by

feats/ influence and importance in story

Mihawk, dragon, and imu are the prime examples of this.

the most controversial one is probably imu since he’s fighting right now, but remember only like 30 people in the world know of him, and he’s been alive SINCE THE VOID CENTURY.

So my order is:

1. Imu
2. Dragon
3. Mihawk
