I’d say the seraphim are weaker tham their respective human(except Buggy if he has one)

The thing is we don't even know if these Seraphims are fully grown as they're still child, they might still be in their early stages. But the fact still remains that a child Seraphim forced Blackbeard to guard with his Armament haki and use a named move. That in itself is already impressive.

The thing is I'm somewhat of a Blackbeard negacionist

He's not at yonko level, and I don't think he's that close either(ofc with what he has shown for now)

He has 2 fruits, but that's basically all going for him, he doesn't have any impressive haki feats, and his lack of confidence makes it seem like he doesn't have any other hidden ability

He's still missing something to be that final threat everyone thinks he is already, and I think he'd have some problems against characters like Katakuri and King, who would be destroyed by the real top tiers

I think it's as simple as him awakening both of his devil fruits if he hasn't already. I don't think Blackbeard is weak compared to the other Yonko, but he's just the type to play it real safe and is overly cautious. For instance him backing down agaisnt old Reyleigh, which I fully believe that he could've beaten Reyleigh at that point of time, again playing it real safe. As a result, this might paint him as weak compared to the other top tiers. Just my thought.

Does Blackbeard have a seraphim though

My theory is he *is* one. I've always believed that since BB may be part-human part-cyborg, perhaps he has selectively chosen which part of himself uses a specific devil fruit

Or at the very least, he has some tech that allows him to alter his own dna to imitate that of others

I think theyre both pretty much too overpowered while simultaneously being balanced. i mean, its, kinda the point of them,, to be over powered,,, to restore the wgs power,,, frankly, the navy was already in a weaker position, and that was before dressrossa and the dissolution of the warlords. even with the warlords, they haven’t been able to do much of anything about pirates and revolutionaries and the like, and people would turn to emporers and the like for help. ultimately, they just couldn’t keep up. the seraphim are definitely overpowered, but they also evened things out.

It depends, if they don’t have Haki then no I think they’re balanced. After all constructs with no autonomy or ambition shouldn’t have the ability to use Haki. If they do have Haki then they might be to OP especially if they can grow up still and get even stronger

I don't think the Seraphims are simply just robotic constructs, they're literally the splitting clones of the Warlords. Assuming Judge's cloning technique were used, these clones has their own will and are able to grow up like a normal human, so they might be able to use haki. Vegapunk 02 also mentions that she wasn't able to suppress the primal desire of her creations, meaning the Seraphims might've their own free will.
