>The adult generation is up to hundreds of years old, they were all supposed to become thralls so it would've involved the older generation seeing the WG as their only true allies in a fucked up world and the kids being taught to like the WG as well. Neither of which happened. And some warriors they are, they're getting their asses handed to them by the nightmares of weak children. Most have probably never even sailed, conquered or fought pirates to gain/hone their skills, instead relying on Dorry, Brogy and Gaban
The Nightmare monsters are literally all bigger than Godzilla, and you actually did have unnamed Giants defeat a couple of them still. Killingham's fruit is honestly just overpowered.

My point really was just that everys single adult on the island are born and bred warriors. Hajrudin/Loki/Ripley's generation are the last warrior generation from what we're told, but in terms of age, they're the human equivalents of 18-25 year olds, so Elbaf hasn't really had time to be weakened yet.
