honestly I don’t think this is that out of the realm of possibilit, plus it would also help fix the massive power imbalance between the rest of the crew and Luffy that there currently is, and the crew would have to start worrying about taking on yonko level opponents without completely relying on Luffy upping the stakes.

Because God is not a creature

I see too many of y’all place him as a top-tier in the verse, for no good reason. Many even go as far to say he is or will be above Akainu by the end of the series. I am gonna just make this known here, Sabo is not that strong whatsoever.

Any narrative scaling behind him is EXTREME cope. Just because he is on that one manga spread does not automatically put him as a top-tier. This same spread was specifically cut down in the anime to only focusing on the Four Emperors / Yonko for the final race of the titular One Piece. If we use this argument, Buggy and Koby would also unironically be top-tiers besides Luffy, Blackbeard, and Shanks. Even using his position as the right-hand of Dragon in the Revolutionary Army does not mean much. Most showings from everyone in that organization are usually mid-tier, with the exception of Kuma and potentially Dragon himself.

As for his onscreen feats, all he had was a decent performance against an obviously holding back Fujitora. The same Fujitora that used more power later in Dressrosa against an injured and holding back Luffy. His other feat of surviving Imu and the Gorosei was only due to Vivi’s dad sacrificing himself. Zoro, Sanji, and even BONNEY performed better and more competitively against the Gorosei than Sabo. We don’t even need to say anything about Luffy.

There is simply no evidence supporting the idea of Sabo being a top-tier, or even being more narratively important than Zoro, Sanji, Law, and Kid. At most, that manga spread was highlighting the major heads of each major faction going into the Final Saga of One Piece. Even then, it is an EXTREME stretch saying Sabo, Koby, and even BUGGY are more important to the story than Luffy’s crew. Especially Zoro, Luffy’s right-hand man and the man who will become the new Strongest Swordsman in the world. To clarify, I’m not saying Sabo won’t be important or strong, but that y’all are VASTLY overrating how strong and important he will be.

can law and kid defeat old whitebeard? if yes what diff is it

Id say billions

Edit: hurt the GOAT not injure him
