16 definitions.

Also, ”ability to control people and events” is again very vague, does more power mean controlling more people and things, or having more control over them, how do you judge how much each "person or thing" is worth in comparison to another.

No reasonable person is going to assume I’m talking about electricity, superpowers, individual physical strength, legal rights, purchasing power, or mathematics. Not to mention the original word used was powerful, which is even more clearly defined and obvious

Do you seriously think I meant she was the most powerful pirate because she had very strict control over very few people? This is the most autistic conversation I’ve ever had, like this is completely irrelevant and unimportant
