User blog comment:AYET/Post-TS SHP member vs old pre-TS foe (Part 1)/@comment-4374114-20120716174559

Nice idea, I've been meaning to create some blogs of which post-TS SHs would be cool to see fighting pre-TS villians. One of my favorites was can post-TS Nami beat Crocodile, controlling the elements as she has.

Though I have to agree I think Soul King could beat Ryuma I don't think Soul King now is stronger than all of the SHs prior to TS, especially Zoro, Sanji and Luffy as Neo mentioned. Luffy is always a question since he would fall to hypnotism and such but I think Zoro and Sanji pre-TS were far more focused in a fight and far faster than Soul King is now. As for how the SHs work in the New World (if they can survive it), we still have not seen how strong some inhabitants of the New World are yet, as you could see Brownbeard seemed like he was going to be dominate(pre-TS) but obviously not so much.
