For once be fair Ndule. Ray literally says it in the same breath he admitted inferiority. The reason being his old age. Meaning his prime he'd kick BB back to the NW
Try harder
Prime Ray is inferior to Yonko too.
That's why no Yonko hypes him , not even Oden.
Old Age didn't make WB to admit inferiority to shanks (who was still newly yonko)
Even Weakened Kaido still claimed "nobody can beat me"
It shows you that Primebeard, Kaido , BM, Teach > Prime Ray
Even Shanks / Oden > Prime Ray
Old Ray : low top tier /solid top tier slightly below admirals .
Old WB : high top tier who can beat admirals (mid top tiers( still
Weakened Kaido : can beat Mid top tier (adcoc g4 luffy)
Yami Teach , Base /no FS-drunk Kaido, Nerfed BM all have better feats than Old Ray.
They trashing warlords/YCs / no FS Luffy/ SNs
Old and Prime Ray has zero W btw
