The most Overrated/Underrated OP-Characters

zetruz Wrote:There also isn't any indication that he's weaker than Big Mom, either. It's never ever been said that the Yonkou title is higher than the Shichibukai title. Don't get me wrong, the average Yonkou strength is much higher than the average Shichibukai strength, of course, but the bottom Shichibukai do not define the top Shichibukai.

Yes, but we know Big Mam's strength is big enough to make her able to play in the very top league. As for DD, we can only assume that. The only thing we know is that he is stronger than VA/Commander-level, but not necessarily Yonkiral-level (let's use that ^^) - but there's much space for DD to fit inbetween. And this is were I think he sits.

Quote:I think Oda has made a point of showing that titles in One Piece are rather superficial. Jinbe one-shot Moria, and Jinbe is presumably way, way below Mihawk and Doflamingo. So the power gap between Moria and Doflamingo is beyond description. The same goes for Vice Admirals. Imagine Garp in his prime - he was roughly on Roger's level. Compare that to Vergo - or rather, don't. You barely can. Titles are extremely vague.

Hm, you need to differ between title and position.
Yonkou Shichibukai are titles, Vice-Admiral is a position (Garp doesn't serve as an example though, since he simply turned a promotion down, hence can be considered admiral). I would consider a Marine rank more stable powerwise than the Shichibukai - and after all, the Yonkou we've seen were somewhat equal.

Quote:I would imagine the same goes for the Yonkou title - roughly prime Whitebeard was quite a lot stronger than Big Mom. I mean, old-age Whitebeard was the strongest man in the world. And that was after he had fallen from Roger's level
.

I agree with this. But I would consider WB/Roger in a whole category above Yonkiral.

Quote:So, the Yonkou level is never stated to be above that of the Shichibukai level. From what we have seen, Doflamingo is scarily powerful - think about it; he can control even extremely strong Haki users with a single finger, and he can cut (huge) limbs with the same motion. That's a ridiculously strong ability. The latter - the slicing attack - is an extremely strong attack that is instantaneous and invisible. Doflamingo could cut Big Mom's head off by moving a single finger. That's his ability. What reason do we have to think Big Mom can survive that attack? Nothing but hype. Nothing at all. Don't get me wrong, I'm usually in favor of considering hype because I think Oda does it for a reason, but I disagree that Big Mom's hype is above that of Doflamingo's. And in this case, unless Big Mom is a Logia (which makes it much trickier), Doflamingo is shown to be able to slice her up by moving nothing but his finger. I think Doflamingo is constantly underrated, because people think that his Shichibukai title makes him automatically below the Yonkou (not saying you're doing this).

It's a BIG stretch to believe that just because DD could cut off Oars leg he can also behead Big Mom. Renember, Oars fell for Moria, who you above consider an example for weakness among the Shichibukai ^^
There are tons of possibilities it wouldn't work. The most simply is her to dodge. Or to block. Haki has never been displayed against the cut - and since there are obious similarities to law's cuts, it could very well help. Etc., etc.

Quote:Actually, because he is a Shichibukai, he is (or was) by definition a pirate; clicky! The Shichibukai are, or were, all pirates. =)

Kuma?
