To those...
Those who are coping about Roger, Rayleigh and gaban being equal is about status or notoriety or fame, i want to ask how does that even makes sense? Roger was clearly superior in status being the captain and had significantly more fame than Rayleigh and gaban being the pirate king,
so we are left with strength, and yes pirate king title is not about strength, it never was, it was just about reaching laughtale, and this statement doesn't contradict anything canon to the manga, we always wondered how did Roger pirates won at got valley, now it doesn't makes sense, garp and Roger vs rocks, whitebeard vs probably garling, bigmom vs Rayleigh/gaban, shikhi vs Rayleigh/gaban, young kaido probably yc+ vs ?
So it makes sense that Roger pirates indeed had three yonko level combatants relative in strength, eos luffy Zoro sanji being equal/relative should not be a hot take anymore, oda can't be more clear than this, this is final saga and he ain't playing around no more, Put some Respect on Monster Trio's name.
