First of all, thank you DP for commenting in my blog, now, my examples were just examples so I only talked about the cons not pros. Yes they can be reasoned in various manners.

The exact point is: '''It is not good enough only if some guy in random state it in some part of the manga to take it as reference as that guys speech may be part of a misunderstanding/lack of knowledge of his own that Oda wants to show us. Therefore other circumstances should be taken into account too while using something as reference.'''

With that being said, I think Pell only said that there are five fruits that grants flight which does not nessarily means what kind of flight. Also I agree Robin's flight is a very derived ability but Shiki's flight is as versatile as it can get the only difference is, he does not has wings rather uses other means.

As for Crocodile, I do agree on what you said, but even in his own element I doubt Crocodile can match Akainu but yes that is speculation on my part.

I case of Kreig, he saying it himself is one thing but his crew supporting it implies that it is somewhat accepted as an idea.

Also what about Mihawk's cases?

Again the main issue is not the examples but the total thing though and thanks for the well explained comment.
