Personally I don't bother with, "He's as strong as ____" or "He can do just as much as ____". I just take it as it comes.

Law cuts apart a mountain range? ...and? Don't be so rigid in how you view the series that you'll object to something that exceeds what you considered to be a set limit. Just be prepared for things to happen that you may of never considered before.

If you want a direct answer to your blog though - here's where you've gone wrong. He didn't cut the entire island, just the mountain and laboratory on the winter side. We've already seen Luffy almost demolish the Noah (which was near island size itself) - is it so strange for someone on supposedly equal standing to achieve a similar feat?

You are also assuming Whitebeard was even trying to destroy Marineford. Would it really make sense for him to destroy the island he and his allies are standing on? Did Whitebeard seem like the kind of man who'd even want to destroy an island? In the case of Ace vs. Blackbeard we never even saw the island afterwards. The last thing we saw was the entire island being consumed by their two attacks.

And now we've reached the New World, which has always been said to be a sea that'd exceed the norm. People who can endure this sea will possess great power. Expect the "flashy scenes" to continue.
