Smoker almost killed Luffy when Luffy couldn't fight back
One of the last things Roger said to Garp was they nearly killed each other on many occasions, which to me means they're at least on par with each other
They are relative, not dead equals, the only one who was stated to he is Whitebeard. Its not that hard to understand.
What does World Strongest Man mean to you btw?
Do you think WB in marineford was stronger than Kaido. Titles dont mean much in the series they are just hypetools.
Also calling Rogers equal doesnt mean he is stronger than Garp. Roger and Garp fought multiple times.
Im talking about Prime Whitebeard.
Yes they did and yet he was never called Rogers equal. Only Whitebeard was. I wonder why.
Childrens manga are truly so hard to understand.
