User blog comment:Yatanogarasu/Gecko Moria: Weakest of the Eight?/@comment-3119203-20110130220440

I agree with jinbe, but I also think that he got weaker individually due to his devil fruit.remeber that he fought on par with kaidou, one of the yonkou, and we've seen how strong they are. As for getting pounded by doflamingo, keep in mind that he had already fought jinbe and several other people, not to mention the fact that he was heavily outnumbered and was fighting against afellow shicbukai, who was as strong as he was. Also, luffy was only able to defeat his devil fruit with 100 shadows and the rest of his crew (oars was created by his DF remember). At marineford, he didnt display most of his fighting strength, due to the fact that luffy had nearl eradicated his entire army previously. if he his zombies, it would have been different. I honestly think he could beat boa hancock at least, so he isnt the weakest of the group
