Flying Dutchman Revision

The Flying Dutchman is probably high 7c, or even higher.

He is friends with Davy Jones, which also gives him the power to act as a "Grim Reaper" and come to steal souls from those both living and close to death, to banish them to Davy Jones Locker (filled with aged and smelly socks for nasal toture for eternity)

Proof of being friends: http://spongebob.wikia.com/wiki/Davy_Jones

In Season 1, episode 13a "Scardey Pants", he appears to come to steal everyones souls, in Season 3, episode 56a, he comes to steal Mr. Krabs' soul, as well as in Season 5, episode 88a, and in Season 7, episode 133a, he curses Spongebob and Patrick into being ghosts like him.


Second part of his power is revealed here: http://spongebob.wikia.com/wiki/Flying_Dutchman#Powers_and_abilities where is clearly shows his power even rivals King Neptune, God and Keeper of the entire ocean. King Neptune's son (Triton), in the Season 6, episode 126 (Clash of Triton), Triton levels the city with at first what seems to be 9c power at 26:04 in the provided video, but at 26:16 it is clear the Bikini Bottom is burned down showng a high 7c.

Because King Neptune is the King of the Ocean, it is obvious he is even stronger than Triton, which means if the Flying Dutchman is rivaling King Neptune in power, than his power must exceed past Triton's, thus showing proof of his power around a high 7c.

In a unrelated note, it can be determined that his age is over 5,000, because in Season 2, episode 21a, he tells Spongebob how he hasn't worn shoes in over 5,000 years, which also means he's older than King Neptune, because in "Clash of Triton", Neptune is turning 5,000 years old.

While he has the ability to teleport anytime and anyplace, his "speed" can be determined in the "Nicktoons MLB" video game. In the game, you are able to play both cartoon characters from Nickelodeon, and real life MLB players whose actual stats are put in the game, so to prove that the characters from Nickelodeon's stats are by reality standards. The Dodger Stadium, which is a real stadum with the field being 2,620 square feet (798.5 square meters), and is determined as a direct copy in the game, is one that the Flying Dutchman, if you choose him to run around the whole field covering every inch, takes about a minute and two seconds, which is faster than the world record (1:41).

Together, that would mean every meter he covers takes only 0.7 seconds, while the record holder takes about 1.2 seconds to cover one meter. Flying Dutchman's pace thus means he can run 48,000m an hour, while the world record holder can only do 28,560m in one hour IF he had the same stamina the Flying Dutchman is able to keep. Because he's a ghost, The Flying Dutchman doesn't get tired or suffers pain that one would go through if they kept the same incredible speed for so long.

As extra attacks, in the video games (created by Nickelodeon), in "The Yellow Avenger" (released in November 7, 2005 for the Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable), he is shown to have sonic screams and the ability to summon flaming ghost barrels from the sky. https://youtu.be/BFr0US1vlEo?t=2h28m3s (Provided link shows original Gameboy Advanced Version, which at the time was labeled as "The Revenge of the Flying Dutchman", but the name is later used for a newer Spongebob game)

And as a weakness, though a ghost, it's shown he has to eat, but is unable to without his special sock. This is proven to be true in Season 2, episode 33a, he is willing to give 3 wishes, just to get it back.
 
The problem is that me, and many other mods agreed that Bikini Bottom is much smaller than an actual town. (Aka a pineapple being considered a building)

So sadly i don't think this would count as a 7-C feat.
 
His size though can be somewhat determined. In Season 6, episode 111 "Spongebob Squarepants vs. The Big One", his size is compared to that of Davy Jones (Real life singer with the exact name, taking the role of the owner of the "cursed" locker). Davy Jones is exactly 5' 3. The Flying Dutchman himself is about 3-5 inches shorter (This is without his hat as well). And while a tier can't be fully determined by the size of Bikini Bottom, his age, speed, and other things I've provided could possibly still be used.
