General & Others Roger Pirates Parallels

The only parallels that the Roger Pirates and the Straw Hat Pirates have is Luffy = Roger and Zoro = Rayleigh aka the Pirate King and the First Mate.

Stop forcing other parallels with random characters who have only appeared in 2 panels because you're desperate for your favorite character to be important. :pepecafe:
Yes.

This Gabban = Sanji stuff for example lacks firm foundation unless I missed something.

What Rayleigh and Zoro parallels are there?
That they are both swordsmen, both first to join and both second strongest of their crews is probably the main parallel.

Some will also answer that they are both the first mates but Zoro isn't (so no valid point), and maybe will mention the scar in the eye even though this works as a way to reinforce Zoro's parallel aesthetics to Sanji as Luffy's right and left wings.

The thing is we just don’t know much about him and Zoro has never been compared to Rayleigh in the series.

Besides he can’t be a parallel because even story telling parallels are supposed to never meet.

Luffy ~ Roger is the only good parallel

Zoro is the first mate as stated by multiple characters in the series such as Urogue and Bartolomeo.

Nami is Luffy's left hand, not the guy who beat him up in enemy territory.

Urouge never, ever mentions the concept of "first mate" in Japanese.

Bartolomeo's statement gets added a "(by me)", so it's even stressed by Oda to be a subjective assessment by a fanboy (wouldn't even surprise me the author were mocking you all).

Zoro's official role is combatant as per Vivre Card, like Lucky Roo but unlike Benn Beckman. "First mate" is an official title that only a few "right hand men" share. I stated a fact, yours is just an opinion.

"The guy who beat him up in enemy territory" yet both Luffy and Sanji were perfectly aware of the circumstances leading to that situation. Some of you should accept for once that Luffy doesn't rule his crew as you'd wish in your wet and autocratic dreams and that he's an empathetic leader that takes an approach based on interdependence. Precisely, in that moment it was Nami, your so-called "left hand", who made the mistake of not understanding the circumstances as quick and clearly as Luffy did from the start.

I agree....
Sanbed though or whatever his name was "MAYBE" parallels Jinbe as both Fishman... BUT again, as you stated... I do not like parallels that are just too random... like Sanji/Gaban just because they are recognized as 3rd strongest...

It could be the case that they are simply 3rd strongest BUT never have any parallel, so why even bother... why can't two crews be a bit more differentiated LOL
