It is indeed funny how people downplay Ryokugyu for things that the Yonko have done but far worse lmfao.
“Ryokugyu said he didn’t come to Wano because of Kaido!”
-Prime Whitebeard was literally too much of a coward to face Kaido
-The Whitebeard Pirates hid behind civilian casualties to avoid facing Kaido, even though Kaido doesn’t stay in Wano and the Pirates could’ve just challenged him to war in a neutral territory with no civilians
“Ryokugyu ran from the Red Hair Pirates!”
-So did Kaido, even though Kaido’s whole thing is that he is seeking a good fight and a good death and had King with him
“Ryokugyu screamed at Shanks’ conqueror’s Haki!”
-79 year old Rayleigh literally made Blackbeard shit his pants and retreat across the sea without even speaking one word of objection
I’m not seeing where Ryokugyu looks worse than any Yonko at the moment. In fact he looks better than all of them for the King and Queen feat which no Yonko can dream of accomplishing in 1,000 years.
