Yes Ray in his prime would give Whitebeard a good fight, he would lose, but it would be tough.
Why would he lose IF THEY EQUALS
Notoriety is simply perception… it’s over and over again challenged
it’s easy, let’s wait for the god valley flashback… I want to remind you that Roger went to god valley with his whole crew… and yet for whatever reason, only Roger is talked about, where are Rayleigh and Gaban, his equals, in god valley?
Are there other Rocks level pirates or Holy knights that Rayleigh and Gaban are fighting, why aren’t they mentioned to be equal to goddamn rocks and rayleigh?… Was Big mom equal to rocks and Gaban was fighting big mom? Was Garling equal to rocks and Rayleigh was fighting Garling?
