User blog comment:Pandawarrior/The true strength of Whitebeards allies/@comment-3242083-20101216135949

I agree with Pacifista15 I really wonder why people think so highly of vice-admirals. Whiskey13 even compares them with shichibukai... But they are weak, cannonfodder. Garp and Tsuru aside (they are probably just vice admirals because they want it that way), all of the vice-admirals take a GOOD beating from the whitebeards or even his (also weak) allies.

Yes, Momonga is strong - but he isn't worthy of being a real admiral like the current ones. Can you imagine him standing side by side with beasts like Akainu, Kizaru or Aokiji? He pales in comparison. I wouldn't even let him into the shichibukai.

Yes, Dalmatian has a zoan-type devil fruit, but that doesn't make him a second Rob Lucci. He is nothing special.

I agree that the vice admirals are somewhat strong, so are whitebeard allies (you have to be in order to survive the new world). But comparing them to whitebeard pirates or shichibukai goes abit far.
