One thing has been proved once again and is the distance between VA and Admiral also do they even have what some people call "Mid-tire" or "High-tire" because to me it seems like a bunch fuzzies that can't probably hold a candle against Luffy or Zoro and even Sanji. All hail to the Vice Admiral, the most useless rank there is.
Smart move by Doflamingo hindering Luffy that way, an underground where Luffy G3 is completely useless, smart Dofla smart
