CATDOLL: Was the tragedy of the "One Piece" Marineford War only due to the weakness of the Whitebeard Pirates?

A powerful pirate group led by Whitebeard, one of the former "Four Emperors": The Whitebeard Pirates were once known as the strongest pirate group in "One Piece", commanding 43 pirate groups in the New World. Recently, when Japanese otakus discussed the overall strength of this huge pirate group, they believed that their strength was too weak, which eventually led to the tragedy of the war at the top. Is this really the case?

I recently revisited the plot of the war on the top, and suddenly I thought of something that I couldn't understand. The Whitebeard Pirates are supposed to be a superpower on the ocean, but except for Whitebeard, Ace, and the rebellious Blackbeard, the other characters seem to be extremely weak. If this is really the level, how can the Whitebeard Pirates have such a great prestige?

This is the tragedy of long series. If the Whitebeard Pirates appeared in the early stage, then any captain-level character would be able to call the shots in the East China Sea, right? However, as the strength of the characters continues to increase, the old characters will definitely become small fry. Judging from the performance of the top war, the focus is actually on a few characters, so other characters must not appear to be particularly powerful, otherwise it will affect the balance of the overall plot, right?

I think the reason why the Whitebeard Pirates have such a great influence is essentially the appeal of Whitebeard himself. Therefore, when Whitebeard died, the pirate group was basically disbanded. And Whitebeard was very good to all his subordinates, so he might not pay too much attention to their strength. Anyway, no one would mess with Whitebeard's people. And I think Whitebeard was a little lacking in the overall view, and failed to realize the danger of Blackbeard, which led to the tragedy.

It is true. When the Whitebeard Pirates first appeared, it seemed that every captain was very powerful. But when they really faced the encirclement of the navy, they still seemed powerless. If Red Hair had not appeared in time, the whole group would have been wiped out. It is possible that Red Hair recruited many members of the Whitebeard Pirates afterwards to further consolidate his position.

In the final analysis, Eiichiro Oda just wanted to portray the event of "the end of the old forces". So it is impossible to work hard on members other than Whitebeard, Ace and other characters. But even so, when I was following the serialization, I still hoped that this pirate group would have a particularly strong master who could take Ace away...

The biggest bug of the Whitebeard Pirates is why Blackbeard was able to lurk here for such a long time, right? After all, judging from his aura, it is obviously not the style of this pirate group. How could Whitebeard accept the existence of such a person? Even if Whitebeard didn't have time to pay attention to him, Ace, as the leader, would always be aware of it, right? As a result, Blackbeard was forced to get the Black Hole Fruit, which is really incomprehensible.

The main reason is that Whitebeard died too suddenly. That's why the pirates lost their backbone all of a sudden, and they must have lost their fighting spirit immediately. If Whitebeard could survive to the end, he should still be able to burst out enough fighting power, right?
