White beard and Xebex are alone enough to stop Roger and Garp in a equal fight
add Kaido
add Big Mom
add Shiki
GAME OVER
and it's funny thing you are using the word "denial"
I remember the time fandom base shit talk about Rock war way too much cause manga told us Garp did it
so they down rate the fuck out Rock ...
now it's the same case ... there SHOULD BE more to the end of this war
Roger and Garp were not enough .... unless there was some Sengoku , Dark King or Kong involve ... or Whitebeard didn't stay loyal to Xebex .... the win seem impossible
It was Prime Garp and Prime Roger vs Prime Xebec and his Non Prime WB/BM and rookie Kaido.
Reminder roger had Rayleigh scopper, Garp has some strong VAs with him.
The fact they only beat Xebec and killed him
Means non Prime WB/BM never got defeated even coz if they were, there would be arrested there unless someone saved them!
We saw how the war was over when WB died and his crew had no hope left ... without Shanks intervention, WB pirates will have ended there.
Same with Rocks, as soon as Xebec died/fell,
WB BM Kaido started fighting for escape.
That's how the war is, beat the leader and his men wont have any hope for battle anymore
