Okay, I guess Rayleigh isn’t top tier then. The guy who made a prime Yonko shit his pants and full retreat at 79 years old isn’t a top tier because he sailed as Roger’s subordinate.
“Oh but they were partners” no, at best you can argue they had a partner-sequel relationship but Roger was 100% Rayleigh’s captain.
I guess Mihawk isn’t a top tier, he is a proud subordinate of Buggy the goddamn clown lol. “Oh, Mihawk is letting Buggy be the captain” yes, perhaps because it doesn’t fucking matter who runs Cross Guild as long as Mihawk gets what he wants. Not every crew is the Monkey Kingdom Pirates where “KaIdO iS cApTaIn BeCaUsE sTrOnG,” perhaps characters who openly call the Celestial Dragons their bosses simply don’t give a flying shit about the ego trip of claiming they are above following orders, lol
Stop acting like a shit eating retard man.
