How strong was Sabo pre-timeskip?

[Warmmedown]

Maybe as strong as post-skip Luffy?

 

[SSJ2]

Probably stronger still, but still below Admiral level.



Whether or not he would have been a difference maker at Marineford wasn't definitive.

That was the page that prompted the topic. I think she would say that even if he'd been as strong as his Dressrosa self, just to help him feel less regretful.

No way to know. Even scaling him pre-fruit is hard.
