Viz ain't saints dude, they have done things like this recently related to a conversation between Shamrock and Loki
This is sandman's translation and interpretation
I believe myself that the logic behind VIZ translating "Alongside/Along with" to "After" lies on the fact that Rayleigh was the already known subject in the conversation, while Gaban was being introduced in the moment of their speech, so "after" Rayleigh, we get Gaban. Anyways, "alongside/along with" makes way more sense, since it matches perfectly with the "Right Arm" and "Left Arm" concept (and i believe that was the whole point Oda wanted to make here), since it doesn't establishes an hierarchy, but says that they were "especially strong aside from Roger himself" and were "legendary figures shoulder to shoulder with Roger"
By the way, thats how Japanese readers are interpreting the whole thing, interesting

Well to be fair I am still a Zoro fan. It’s way more accurate to call me a Zoro fan than a Sanji hater.
I only shit on Zoro when he’s compared to Luffy. There’s no problem when I shit on Sanji when he’s compared to Zoro though hmmmm 
On par is more nuanced while being equal isn’t. I know the English language very well. Two things can be on par and not equal.
