pretty sure that the marines have the power to handle the shichibukai
i mean luffy beat moria (OK i'm not saying luffy is necessarily stronger than moria) and so far luffy has not even come anywhere near hurting any of the admiralsthe only shichibukai that has shown themself to be maybe at admiral level is kuma (maybe mihawk)
and we haven't even seen what sengoku can do
and don't forget garp
therefore, marines >>> shichibukai
Dumbass are you not paying attention to the scenario in which they'd be attacking the shichibukai? I'll quote myself:
Not to mention right now the marines do not have the power to take out the shichibukai
There's no way in hell the marines defeat the shichibukai in this war. They'd be fighting two enemies for no reason and they'd lose.
The reason they have the upper hand is because the shichibukai are taking out all of the fodder and mid tier opponents.
I never spoke on some hypothetical situation where only the marines are fighting the shichibukai. Everything I was talking about was under the premise of if the marines would even think of the "opportunity" to take out the shichi in this war as "killing two birds with one stone."
