all these people doubting the strength of the #1 subordinate OF THE FINAL FUCKING VILLAIN OF THE ENTIRE SERIES, is pretty sad
let alone comparing what the other #1 subordinates of the two Yonkos we've seen have been capable of (marco, and benn beckma anyone) this guy is literately Black Beards right hand man, who is most likely going to end up being Luffy's end rival in the series
The Black Beard crew has literally been set up as an anti-strawhat crew, he will probably be the final opponent of someone like Sanji or Jinbei, his powers gonna be through the roof
but anyone who basically can understand basic story concepts should understand that a Yonko's #1 subordinate should be end game powerful, especially when that Yonko is being set up as the ultimate rival for the main character
and like many of the older members on the fourm I'm under the impression that Black Beards crew will kill Shanks crew in order to add more emotion to the strawhats final battle with them
seriously I'm not saying the guy can take out Fujitora like it's nothing, but if he can't stand up to him as a good match he wouldn't be worthy of being Black Berads right hand man
and then some of you are doubting his strength at all, the fuck are you stupid, he shouldn't have to beat someone strong for you to understand how strong he is, his title alone should do that… are you guys reading inept or something
EDIT:
@Shadowgreed don't even explain if there that idotic just let them be, no amount of reasoning should be capable of reaching them
