Why is Admiral vs emperor a debate when Doflamingo himself said either side can win?

>Marines, Shichibukai, and Yonkou are supposed to balance each other out
>entirety of Marines and Shichibukai vs 1 Yonkou was a 50-50 outcome
lmao

The marines count 100k.

Whitebeard's main crew has 1600 men.

He also had 43 allies and their ships are smaller. Hence Whitebeard probably brought a good 20000 men or so at best.

500 is considered a large pirate crew

From a story telling perspective it's just more interesting to say that the huge war we're reading right now could go either way, but if you look at the result the marines where pretty dominant. Akainu was the only admiral who took real damage, the other two didn't even exert themselves. Same goes for the strongest Warlords like Mihawk, Doflamingo, Boa and Kuma.
It also wasn't just one emperor crew but also the whole allied fleet, plus the Impel Down escapees who where one of the biggest assets in achieving the actual goal with Luffy, Jinbe, Crocodile, Ivankov etc.

You must have forgotten Whitebeard was well past his prime.

Also. The impel down prisoners consisted of 200 men. It wasn't a large force at all.

And those allied crews are his subordinates. There's a reason why Kaido has 20k-30k men. Its just the way Whitebeard's crew is structured

majority of the marines there were no name fodder shitters weaker than Coby

The Admirals weren't really doing much most of the time. Warlords obviously didn't even want to be there aside from moria and Doffy, who was just having fun.

Dude there were 100000 of them.

And false. Koby can be KO'd by CoC. Most of the marines there cannot be.

strong will doesn't mean you're a strong fighter
the only marines who did anything of note were the vice admirals and the admirals/sengoku

It's only a "debate" for retards. The WG pretty much threw everything they had at dying WB including unseen tech and still took some pretty big losses. Plus they were defending which is easier than attacking. On neutral ground they get smacked. The WG shits their pants at the thought of them joining forces for a reason

You must have forgotten about his obituary. The one where it said he had hundreds of wounds

The Warlords we're fucking useless for one, not one of them actually did their jobs. Marines better be recruiting/training

In universe they were considered useful

woah there. Doffy, Hawkeyes, and Kuma were taking out named fodder like they were supposed to. The rest were dicking around/being traitorous

Hey, Moria was doing his job too.

>still took some pretty big losses
like what? If all the Admirals, Sengoku, Garp and the Warlords actually did something this would have been over in three seconds. WB shitters where the oney taking huge losses, not the marines
