At some point we gotta ask ourselves the amount of bias there is in the community.
Rayleigh the living God Tier legend, compared to Whitebeard, makes an Admiral question his entire existence, has the knowledge of void century and huge ass bounty yet Marines won't dare fuck with him, probably has one of the highest bounties in the series but we downplay him because he is associated with Zoro.
Dracule Mihawk, one of the only two men in history to make a black blade, strongest swordsman in the world, literally calls shanks a one armed has been, his battles are called legenadary historical events by Whitebeard but we downplay him because he is associate with Zoro.
A random ass jobber "Legend" from Rocks Crew with the most generic name possible
