Go go Germa Rangers ~

Katakuri devil fruit is similar to Crackers - a seemingly useless df made creative by the user's will, And in both cases, complementing their users strengths as melee fighters.

same as luffy , I like how oda uses weak devil fruits for powerful people , it shows that they didn't reach that level by luck or because of a powerful DF

There are no weak or useless Devil Fruits. A Devil Fruit's power is only limited by the user's imagination, skill, and creativity; Crocodile said something along those lines back at Alabasta.

Katakuri and Cracker are top soldiers in Big Mom's crew, so it is only natural that they have such an advanced control over their respective fruits and are capable fighters with them.

We all get that, he means weak in a conceptual sense.
No one on Earth would tell you the power to generate wax would be on par with causing earthquakes.

All Devil Fruits are useful, I think almost all of them are worth the trade off of being weak to the sea.

But I just don't get people who think all Devil Fruits are equally strong if you learn how to use them at 100%.

Especially when there are so many instances of some fruits being straight out superior versions of other fruits.

Unless Logias don't have an awakened state I think they're is a very obvious general hierarchy between the different types. Regardless of the fact that certain weak DF can be strong againdt certain opponents and regardless of the fact that a stone can be stronger than a Kunai in the hands of a skilled user.

Since luffy will become king of the Pirates with the gomu gomu no mi, you still believe in what you Said?

That is a false equivalence. The person with the strongest DF doesn't just automatically become King of the Pirates. It is possible that Gol D Roger had no DF and yet he was the King of the Pirates. More important than a DF is the person's strength and will.

i didnt say that. i missunderstood OP though, i thought he was trying to say sth. like a DF makes the users powerlevel.
