But I don't think Roger pirates parallel Straw hats that's the problem.
Zoro isn't just like Rayleigh he's that and a lot more.
As far as we know Rayleigh had no individual ambitions, just was a very strong right hand man of Roger and his partner.
Zoro is that but on top of that he has his own Kingly ambitions. His will power and drive has constantly been portrayed as same level as Luffys.
That's Odas own narrative where he has Zoro and Luffy fight to a stalemate, call them equal in every data book they are mentioned, make them both supernovas, leaders of new generation.
Why hasn't any source materials ever called Sanji equal to Zoro or sanji and zoro fighting equally etc

Sanji fans just live in their own world lmao, at least discussing with several Luffy fans I can sense they are at least reasonable enough to have a discussion

I can have a serious discussion with Luffy fans but not sanji fans
