Okay, now I finally have an account which should allow a bit more consistency. Anywho, I wasn't implying weak like, say, Spandam. I meant just below Sanji (who is a beast), plus the only times they clashed they resorted to dirty tactics immediatly after Sanji fought back, which to me indicates they were uncertain in a straight up fight. I mean Yonji was more or less thrashed without causing any real damage to Sanji.

Also, to me the Big Mom members we have seen were more a homeguard and enforcers then actual troops, while the best warriors are out being active (After all, why keep the strongest soldeirs at base instead of conquering). I personally feel that the ministers aren't meant to be frontline troops. Let's look at what he have seen.

Opera seems strong, but was rather easily taken down by Jinbe and his burning thing doesen't seem to devistating outside of raw pain, plus whip cream isn't exactly hard hitting. It can, however restrain and cause pain to keep others in line. Mont-d'Or's powers seem to be best for misdirection and leaving others open to attacks, hence why he is one of the few ministers shown employing a weapon. Gallate is only shown restraing Nami with what appeared to be liquid of some sort, so can't say much about her (but I doubt she is any stronger then the others).

Pekoms and Tamago are both fairly impressive, but neither see super high end. Tamago (who I actually like quite a lot) powers, while handy has several flaws and doesen"t seem to be durable in his lower forms (they only seemed to need one good slice to end them). Pekoms is a bruiser, but is more defensive and seems to use anything beyond physical skills.

Brulee and Diesel were fairly disappointing, with her mirror powers not only working against her, but falling for an obvious trick. Diesel I thought would be tougher, he did show up alongside Amande (who seems strong but unfocused on) and Randolph (who proved some skill), but went down really quickly.

The Commanders, despite their prominance, haven't done much seemingly. Cracker actually fought and even showed himself to be Emperor Crew material, but Smoothie has yet to do anything other then order others  around and provide eye candy, and then there's Katakuri (who hasn't been shown) and Snack (who lost to Urouge, who has a rather low if thematic bounty).
