Well, like I said to DP, the examples are only examples.

As for your reasoning, they are well put, however Pell did only say the ability of flight not what kind of flight.

As for Crocodile, yes you are right but still, I think there are people who can defeat him even in a desert.

How would you explain Mihawk's cases?

Kreig, well he was bragging alright but what other people agreeing with him? I mean that whole thing then becomes a "statement in the manga" and thus could be taken as reference but that is a false thing anyways so the reference would be flawed. And that is what I wanted to say. No need to bring in outside logic or science just that: '''It is not good enough only if some guy in random state it in some part of the manga to take it as reference as that guys speech may be part of a misunderstanding/lack of knowledge of his own that Oda wants to show us. Therefore other circumstances should be taken into account too while using something as reference.'''

There the same thing I said to DP.

P.S: Thanks for the nice comment.
