I doubt Oda will answer this so we have to wonder ourselves.
Is Conqueror Captain slowly killing the potential of his crewmates to maintain the dominance?
I mean, for example. Katakuri is from Shanks' generation, he has everything, yet he is so fucking weak in the grand scheme of things.
Why couldn't he become as strong as Big Mom? Why can't he be a top tier?
Is Counqueror's Haki killing the potential of your underlings behind the scenes? I mean unconciously your subordinates don't strive to surpass you?
