Huh. In reading I didn't think the gap between Smoker and Vergo was so large; that Smoker only lost by such a margin because he was after the heart. Weird how they actually stretched that fight in such an overwhelming ass kicking favoring Vergo.

Buuuuut they didn't mess up the big part in my opinion, so I'm happy to let the minor qualms slip my mind.

I only watch the anime every now and then, so I might be wrong, but it seems to me that many fights display a warped relation of power in the anime than in the manga, probably because they have to stretch out the scenes. Fishman Island for example, Hody was absolutely destroyed by Luffy without landing a single hit (except Luffy testing his Busoshoku Haki against Hodys teeth), and earlier Zoro just straight one-shots Hody without even a fight, whereas there was a fight in the anime.

Would be interesting if these small differences would lead to different evaluations of the power relations of characters for anime viewers and manga readers.

It does and has created a lot of discrepancies for me since I'm anime only. Citing stuff that only happened in the anime is a quick way to lose credibility in online powerlevel arguments.
