User blog comment:Black Leg Sanji/Scale 1-10: The Marines Scared of Certain Crews/@comment-1595565-20101116042049

The Blackbeard Pirates are pretty high on the fear scale, I'd say 8-9. The Whitebeard Pirates used to be a 10 in my book, but I'm lowering them, since their threat level dropped, I'll give them an 7. It's hard to gauge the Red Hair crew since we don't know much about how them as a group, call it a 7.5. Now, the Straw Hat Pirates are hard to gauge consistently. They could be anywhere on the scale depending on what they just did. They fluctuate, like after Luffy defeated Crocodile, the WG probably thought some up and coming kid got lucky, up the bounty, keep an eye on him. The threat level then was maybe a 6 at best. After Luffy consistently pulled off some big stunts, the crew's threat level probably fell somewhere closer to 19.
