wow i just don't understand you guys. bitching over so many things and mainly over not seeing fights or so and so being so hyped yet not showing it. Um how bout we look back a bit. chapter 553 was when the tsunami that whitebeard sent when he got there got frozen and the first battle started or the war started. This is what 22 chapters later.
lets start name dropping. Garp, Sengoku, Whitebeard, Mihawk, Moria, Doflamingo, Crocodile, Luffy, Jimbei, Iva, Kuma, Hancock, Aokiji, Kizaru, Aikanu, Oars 3rd, Smoker, Joz, Vista, and could keep going to even people like John Giant, Tsuru, Hina, or even Coby. List could go on to list a ton of names of big shots. The fact is that there are just tooooooo many damn people in this war. And this is doing what wars are Chaotic.
There aren't fights that last a chapter even to show off someone strength as being amazing. Besides showing brief glimpses of each fight between multiple people for example croc clashing with joz, doflamingo, mihawk, luffy or mihawk clashing with vista, luffy, croc, attempted WB hit joz, and so on. No on is fighting one on one battles and are fighting many people. You aren't going to be able to judge how or who would win. THese are the TOP TOP dogs in the world. Doesn't matter how strong say Marco is, he isnt' going to take out an admiral in less than 5 chapters of purely focused on his battle. They ddin't reach their rank or reputation by being able to be one shot by anyone. Thus because we aren't seeing long battles to the death with anyone of course you can't tell if say WB can beat Aikanu or Kizaru or anyone else you want to throw in. WB is busy fighting hundreds of people at once and can't just focus entirely on someone or he is left open to someone else. The fact that he is alive is saying a ton.
Hell think back to all of luffy's fights. if there were two of his opponent ever he would have died. two lucci's good-bye luffy. two kuro's good-bye luffy. two of any of his boss fights would have been good-bye. Yet here is whitebeard managing to hold off hundreds of marines and 3 ADMIRALS and you guys are calling him a pussy. Luffy would have been killed in less than a chapter if he were fighting two lucci's. and lucci is no where near an admiral level. as we have seen how easily luffy gets man handled by admirals.
and saying admirals tend to look fine and not hurt ever. how many times we see one or another standing around, then next thing we see they are fighting whitebeard. did you ever think they are taking shifts or what not. i mean fight whitebeard for a bit and if he starts to take an advantage you fall back, simple. there are hundreds of marines all attacking him, he can't focus on pursuing you and you get a breather while say new admirals come in to fight him.
as for sengoku statnding around. leaders always stand around, whats new in that. they made the big plans and have their minions to do all the work, they stand around and observe and see it all happen. in the end when in manga it fails then they fight the final battle. but this time it didn't fail, ace is dead and WB is going to be to.
its been said to death im sure. if you guys want what your asking to be shown then we would be reading bleach's war. we would have 2 weeks dedicated to each match up while the rest sit around and wait their turn. oh and ace wouldn't have died since only bad guys die in bleach. and also luffy would have gone super devil fruit by now too
