What secrets? Barely anyone gives a flying F about 'em. Peer of PK? What are you on? Just look at the oldest RHM who was compared to Whitebeard as a living Legend with everyone who got to meet Rayleigh getting shocked. Fucking Jinbe called Big Mom a mere Yonko and he didn't hesitate to throw himself in front of the Admirals but when he saw an Old Rayleigh, the only thing that he had for him is respect. And Zoro is bound to surpass that.
Lmao what.
Are you forgetting that Ray the legend was in debt and sold himself at a slave auction to try and pawn off money from those people, being away from home for a long time? Meanwhile Yonkos living their absolute best lives doing whatever they want with all the money and bitches and sweets they want.
Are you forgetting that Jinbei was literally BM's personal fish butler for two years and helped satiate her hunger pangs as well as straight up give her poneglyphs? Jinbei and his crew were literally absorbed into BMP and Jinbei asked to resign but BM wouldn't let him. It has nothing to do with respect, everything to do with politics.
If Ray ever went against the SHs and Jinbei was there he would give no fucks. You can be sure of that.
Nobody except Zoro has ever given a flying F about becoming WSS. Meanwhile Robin, Law are pursuing that truth, the whole WG is covering it up, hell even WB asked about D, it's literally connected to the OP.
