User blog comment:Hassu Mahmood/1 greatest power/@comment-1211470-20100920095736

When you're comparing your never really looking at the Marines as a whole. The three great powers are of course the Shichibukai, the Yonkou and the Admirals now in a basic equation here. The Shichibukai as 7 of the worlds greatest Pirates who are then commissioned by the World Government into 'legal' privateering are not powerful enough to be called Yonkou the four most powerful pirates in the world meaning at face value each Yonkou is as strong as 2 of the Shichibukai.

Yet there are then the Admirals the three most powerful fighters in the entire world government so that then changes the equation of each admiral is equal to 2.333333 (ect.) Shichibukai making Shichibukai a clear third in the struggle of the three great powers. So now it's down to Yonkou and Admirals now equations in numbers to power they own does not work here as you could say each admiral is equivilant to 1.33333(ect.) Yonkou making by a minute statistical margin, the Admirals the most powerful.

However as we've seen from Whitebeard even if he is the worlds most powerful man with the worlds most powerful Paramecia he was able to take on all three Admirals single handedly until the Squardo incident...so now I'm going by preference

1) Admirals 2) Yonkou 3) Shichibukai.
