How powerful is Monkey D. Luffy?
Luffy is admiral level
I used to think that the admirals and Yonko were equal
but in truth they are not old Whitebeard showed us that,Kizaru has been showing us that since the beginning.His feats are impressive but not that much when you think about how powerful his devil fruit is.How many people with haki has Kizaru actually ever fought and beaten? absolutely none
He drew with both Marco and Rayleigh and only seemed to be an annoyance to Whitebeard.
Lets not forget that Garp pretty much one shot Marco while Kizaru had to use sea stone cuffs and some help to grab the win.
Add to the fact that Kizaru's big wins are against guys without haki like the strawhats,Hawkins,Drake and Urouge pre timeskip and suddenly admiral level isn't looking that high.
I'm not saying that everyone with haki can beat Kizaru that would be downplaying him too much his devil fruit is quite overpowered but from what it looks like if having a powerful logia and decent haki is enough to make you admiral level then Luffy is definitely and most assuredly admiral level.
But then if that's the criteria then what about that lightning logia with superb observation haki who went to the moon shouldn't he be admiral level too?
Enel came to this show a little too early but lets not forget that this dude didn't have much physical ability he never trained his body cause he didn't need to considering that before Luffy no one had ever touched him though his power is definitely top tier.
both Jinbe and Moria were once considered Shichibukai even though there levels were light years apart back when the title mean't something ofcourse (before Buggy) so you can be at the same level but not necessarily equals.
Shiki was also considered to be on the same level as Whitebeard and Roger but they most assuredly were not equals.
So when I say admiral level people shouldn't generally think that all of the admirals are equal or that much overpowered cause if they were they wouldn't need to recruit Shichibukai to create a power balance with the Yonko.
