^^ True.

And my opinion is Vali isn't someone who will pick a fight with anyone withoout thinking or having the confidence that he can beat them. (even though he is a battle maniac).

Why you ask i have that opinion? In volume 4, he has a top 10 ranking of strongest but he still hasn't pick a fight with them and he also know the existence of Great-Red, that's because he knows in himself in his current state, he still cannot beat them.
