Apologies for derailing, but it's inevitable that a Whitebeard convo would come up w/out the Admirals.
Admirals will be discussed in the next CRT.

Shanks fought Kaido, he scales.
I doubt he's physically equal, he should be at least half as strong as it since he can fight those who scale to him with his pure strength.@KingTempest; So you're saying Whitebeard physically is equal to the 6-B power of his Devil Fruit?
His Devil Fruit makes him no stronger?
Or should we say that Akainu's durability is actually double the result of the Tsunami calc? Since he did after all survive Whitebeard physically hitting him as well as Whitebeard's quake.
To be fair you started it by scaling Shanks that way for doing something. Not very reliable. Kaido should scale to the highest calc since he is the strongest in verse atm.We don't know that they fought. All we know is that Shanks stopped Kaido from interfering. That doesn't mean that Kaido scales to 6-B through Shanks.
I don't remember being the one who decided Shanks' rating. Maybe that was a mistake I did a long while ago.To be fair you started it by scaling Shanks that way for doing something. Not very reliable. Kaido should scale to the highest calc since he is the strongest in verse atm.
Or actually, Roger, by this thread, scales to Whitebeard's Devil fruit. Roger has no other abilities shown, and Whitebeard clashed with the same Roger with pure Physical strength and Haki. Would that not cause relativity?
This is what I mean. No one mentioned comes before Kaito's time as World's strongest.Shanks, though offscreen, also managed to stop Kaido in some fashion.
Yes.I think Ant means Lavaboy, Frozone, and Photon kid
Ah, I see what you mean. Well, scratch that bit. I shouldn't have listed it because it shouldn't count as any kind of proper powerscaling.This is what I mean. No one mentioned comes before Kaito's time as World's strongest.
I think that this seems to make sense, and Mihawk is a sparring partner to Shanks.Whitebeard clashed with Oden. He scales.
Angered Whitebeard hurt Akainu who can fight Aokiji and they both can bruise each other, they scale.
Shanks blocked an angry Akainu punch, he scales.
Shanks fought Kaido, he scales.
Kaido clashed with Big Mom, she scales.
Garp and Roger fought Primebeard with the other Yonko and Rocks, those 2 scale.
Sengoku's current profile reasoning, he scales
Literally everyone of them scale.
There's this as well. Good point.If I may add another point, I think the Admirals being incomparable to the Yonko in terms of strength also makes no sense narratively.
By necessity, they must be at least close to the Yonko in terms of strength because they are the World Government's "official" last line of defense against the Yonko and their crews. If they were so much weaker than even a single Yonko individually, then literally any Yonko crew could've just stormed Marineford and defeated the Marines LONG ago. And let's be honest, the 100k or so fodder marines won't make a difference at all.
It just makes no sense at all imo.
Roger has a bunch of statements of being comparable to Whitebeard.Wouldn't it be the other way around? Wouldn't Roger get his scaling from clashing with Whitebeard, rather than Whitebeard scaling from clashing with Roger?
The clashed was hit with Luffy at his side, if I'm not mistakenIf we're just going by "character X fought character Y", then a few dozen more characters would end up scaling to 6-B too.
Sanji clashed with Big Mom too, should we scale him to Big Mom and make him 6-B?
These are the God tiers of the verse. Every time it's stated that they fight, literally the entire world goes on hold.If we're just going by "character X fought character Y", then a few dozen more characters would end up scaling to 6-B too.
Sanji clashed with Big Mom too, should we scale him to Big Mom and make him 6-B?
Yes, it is an outlier no matter what, since Luffy was in G3 iirc.The clashed was hit with Luffy at his side, if I'm not mistaken
We all understand where you're coming from, but it comes with the flaws of scaling One Piece.It being multiple tiers above everything else in the verse, including being multiple tiers above every other feat from these other God Tiers only exacerbates the issue. Anyone see where I'm coming from with this?
Both translations say "he", which means Whitebeard, not the fruit. So they're referring to the people, not the power. They're flat out confirming that they all scale.D: Hello, Oda-sensei! I have a question. Is Whitebeard, Edward Newgate, a Logia or a Paramecia? I personally think he's Logia, since he took Aokiji's attack without turning to ice, but...? P.N. NY
O: I guess that's difficult. The answer is Paramecia. "Gura Gura no Mi" is said to be the most powerful of the many paramecia fruits. It's easy to think that he's an "Earthquake Human" and must be Logia, but if that was so, he'd have to become an earthquake himself. Whitebeard creates earthquakes, in other words he's a "Vibration Human". That means he's a Paramecia who isn't any weaker than the Logias.
Another translation saysThis is merely conjecture... but the true distance between us and that man... seems rather small...
Yeah nah, they scale.I"m just going to measure... so I can see it with my own eyes the difference in actual strength between that man and I.
Whitebeard's attacks have been shown to travel in the direction that Whitebeard attacks.
For him to hit sideways to cause a vibration downwards, it wouldn't make sense.
Mihawk sees a huge ass Tsunami and says that Whitebeard doesn't seem that much stronger than him.
That's a good point.But isn't the basis for the calc in the first place? That he caused an earthquake in the seafloor which is how a tsunami was formed?
Elsewise how would a quake that happens at the top of sea-level cause all of that water to rise up into the air?
I'm not gonna pull the "Viz is weird" card since that's what everybody uses, but I used the other translations to show that strength was a factor in the statement.That's not what the official translation says.
I already said as much yesterday and many times in the past. The only ones who scale are the Great Pirates and Prime Garp. It is only the denial of Whiteboard's weakening that keeps coming up and exaggerating the issue. So for the upteenth time and as @The_Calaca has said before me, we need a discussion rule.It's just my biggest issue with this is that this calc, which is by far the strongest attack from the strongest character in the verse at the time, isn't being treated like it is the pinnacle of the verse. Rather, it is the minimum standard that every character remotely comparable to Whitebeard is being scaled to.
And also withstood two bloodlusted attacks from WB while off-guard as I outlined earlier.Yes, they stopped Whitebeard's quake by collaborating, and Akainu also briefly stood up to him.
Mihawk has the issue of last dueling against Shanks LONG before the latter became a Yonko. People need to get it through their heads the following points: a) Mihawk implies he stopped fighting Shanks after the latter lost his arm, b) Shanks lost his arm over half a decade before becoming a Yonko, and c) We have 0 information on Mihawk's background and why he is regarded as the WSS in the first place.@CinCameron20 @The_Calaca have we not discussed Mihawk to death already and why he doesn't scale to Shanks yet?
