I like the idea of the second option but in any form of "power" ratings you will never good answer without additional criteria. For example, in your example of Whitebeard and Akainu you give Whitebeard a 25% win, is that before or after he was stabbed, shot, etc...? You'll get answers all over the place depending on which way someone evaluates that fight. If Whitebeard was healthy, not talking his prime but if he only faced Akainu, I would expect more people to say it'd be more than 50%. If you go off from the fight we actually saw it was much closer to even but wouldn't be truly accurate to their "power". Just my three cents.
