It's annoying seeing people so worried about Vice Admirals losing. It's completely backwards. Franky is on an emperor crew, has beaten a commander on another emperor crew, and trained two years so get this strong. Remember how Kizaru has been knocking Franky around all chapter. Some might think that as Franky jobbing again, and maybe it is, but he's taken direct hits from an admiral and kept going. Think about that. Maybe it's not that Vice Admirals are weak (and they are. Fuck that shit, it's a rank. Are we really worried about the relevance of freaking 5 chin man? Seriously. Backwards.) but rather that Franky is just strong.
That tangent aside, the 5 elders are really cleaning house. But this, the Strawhat frankly could have overpowered this fighting force with the help of the Pacifista. But, these guys are so strong that they completely reversed the situation. The fact that Gear 3 Luffy can't even injure one of them also makes me worry about the rest of the Strawhats fighting them.
