Tell it to Oda who hypes the shit out of Oden and even uses Kaido as hype tool for him.
Prime Ray has no feats yet
This is the problem whit this community...
Expectation>Reality
Prime Rayleigh has zero feats and Wh pairets were fighting against Roger pirates equally for hours and people go as far as to say that he was holding back, but why? Why would he? Aren't Roger and Whitbeard rivals? Rayleigh has the same hype as Don Chinjao and he was oneshoted by Garp in his Prime compared to Oden who was hyped similarly to Big Mom, was compared to Rocks crew members by Whitbeard himself, was compared to Roger and Whitbeard, almost killed Kaido, achieved samthing that no one ever did "scarred Kaido", withstood the boiling of oil for an hour while holding the scabbards but still, Rayleigh>Oden because we want so.
I'm probably the biggest fan of Rayleigh in this forum but even I don't put him that high, one thing we know for sure is that the gap between the captain and his strongest falowers is big, if we expect Roger to be little bit stronger than the Yonko then Rayleigh should be little bit stronger than Yonko's strongest falowers.

I'm pretty sure Oda intented for that panel to look like the "Monster trio" of the Roger crew, he won't specifically state that in the panel lmao

How obvious can it be? Roger is gold/captain, Rayleigh the silver/second and Scopper the bronze/third, doesn't need a surgeon brain to figure that out:suresure:
thats fine
its an acceptable theory till its CONFIRMED
perhaps a dictionary is needed to define that .
:yodaswag:

na he was a person
why do you think that.
 
I mean I didnt make those terms
am off the parallel route tbh
just calling out bs when I see it. cause with the arguments in there, sanji is nothing like scopper in just about everything.

there you go
even more detailed parallel
Ummm Scooper Gaban is ignored by the author and has no high portrayal without leeching to other character.


That's a Sanji parallel imo.

:few:
 
The PK parallels seem ridiculous, but atm I can personally see the parallels (not in design per say, but personality or prior history) between Akainu and his 3 admirals:

Akainu w/ Luffy: Obviously a future conflict

Fujitora w/ Zoro: The only confirmed swordsman out of the 4 (not counting Kizaru's light blade really, its just a move). They clashed already at one point.

Kizaru w/ Jinbe: Kizaru was used to purposefully ignite fishman hatred for humans. Kizaru also used Arlong as a means to manipulate Jinbe into joining the Shichibukai. Would be interesting.

Ryokugyu w/ Sanji: Apparently cooked Fujitora's food (its implied), hasn't ate in 3 years (the antithesis of Sanji), is a ladies man based on his dialogue.


Idk, fun to think about but I can see it 100% there with the Admirals.
 
we can go through law's parallel too
Not a doctor
No coc
WB was never allied with roger .
WB is not a D .
WB never wanted to be pk. people argue law does.
That stuff usually doesn't get stated in one piece:smoothieduck:
But doesn't hurt to expect some kind of confirmation (though it might not need it)
it does


you know the pecking order of katakuri, cracker, smoothie
beckman, roo, yasopp
and so on.

Prime Rayleigh has zero feats and Wh pairets were fighting against Roger pirates equally for hours and people go as far as to say that he was holding back, but why? Why would he? Aren't Roger and Whitbeard rivals?
First off, there was a looting contest. Oda knew he had no conceivable way to show how the WBP would survive a true fight with the RP, so he had to off panel it. By the state of the island it's clear there was no serious fighting going on there. WB, someone who can wipe out islands was fighting his equal there and no damage had been done. WB raising his voice a bit, caused the seas and islands to tilt later on.
WB and Roger both state that the other should drop all of his valuables and leave
The Roger Pirates say that they are gonna take everything the WBP got
Ray himself says that the attempt to pillage each other became a gift exchange
All of it was off panel and not serious. Ray looked like he didn't even participate in it. There isn't a scratch on him.


Rayleigh has the same hype as Don Chinjao and he was oneshoted by Garp in his Prime
Rayleigh has much more hype than Chinjao lmao. Miss me with that.


He is the closest confidant to Roger, a man always depicted next to Roger


Oden himself saw it fit to mention Ray and his title.

While all the crew members, Gaban included, refer to Roger as captain Roger
Ray simply calls him Roger

Rayleigh has ample hype from Oda and others, as well as feats.
Garp says that taking on Ray can cost them a lot of men and calls him a legend similar to WB
The same Garp that wasn't in the slightest concerned about the alliance between Kaido and Linlin, expresses concern about taking on Rayleigh.

In his old age, Rayleigh, who hadn't picked up a sword in a long time
and was just drinking, gambling, shacking chicks and robbing people, stopped an Admiral in his tracks
and implied that in his prime he could have successfully helped the strawhats and dealt with Kizaru at the same time
and Kizaru is the man who volunteered himself to stop 2 Yonko
and was only stopped by Akainu due to the unknown military force in Wano. I stress again Wano, meaning Kizaru was gonna go to Wano, not somewhere along the way but Wano.
The same Kizaru says the navy needs preparations to even attempt to catch Rayleigh
His fight with Kizaru showed incredible feats even in his old age

Extremely good COO and speed, as he was able to battle Kizaru in cqc without anyone gaining a particular advantage




The fanfiction about Ray cutting Kizaru when Kizaru went to attack the SH is exactly that, a fanfic. It came from when the two clashed blades <click> . That is the most logical conclusion based on multiple factors.
> The position of the cut, i.e the exact blade direction.
> The timing it was shown, immediately after the clash of blades occurs
> No blood being shown around Kizaru prior to that, and Oda always shows blood <click> <click>
> WB disturbing Kizaru without cutting him when Kizaru was turning into light in MF
> The fact that barrier haki lets you extend the range of your weapon <click> , and for a haki master like Ray it shouldn't be a problem

Ray has his haki compared to a prime Yonko
Oda himself when asked about Shanks' CoC and only Shanks' CoC saw it fit to mention Rayleigh.


He possesses both forms of advanced COA
Extremely good COO, as demonstrated in his battle against Kizaru, and the fact that he was able to sense how many animals present at the island were stronger than Luffy

Rayleigh's infamy dwarfs that of the Yonko and Admirals, let alone their subordinates
Sanji who knows about Rayleigh, had no idea what an Admiral was in the Navy
Nami, who knows of him had no clue who the yonko are
Marine Officers were confused when Akainu and Sengoku were talking about Oden
Akainu himself only mentions him being a WB commander.

Yet Rayleigh is a pirate everyone knows of, he is even mentioned in books
A man called legend by Garp, similar to WB
A man revered as a living legend by everyone
Ray is a man whom Roger calls partner
He is the first mate of the PK
Jimbei mentions that for a man who would be a member of the PK's crew, a mere Yonko is nothing

Jimbei's reaction to Linlin above vs Jimbei's reaction to Rayleigh



I'm probably the biggest fan of Rayleigh in this forum
I don't care whose fan you are.

Rayleigh should be little bit stronger than Yonko's strongest falowers.
Rayleigh is on the same level as the captains, and even dwarfs them in infamy and reputation.​

Roger - High Top Tier
Rayleigh - Mid Top Tier
Gaban - Low Top Tier

I'd expect gap between Ray/Gaban to be similar to your avg gap between RH/LH, Marco/Joz, King/Queen, Kata/Smoothie, Ben/Roo etc. So a sub tier gap is fair, I presume?

Nothing to do with Sanji, so I don't understand the pre conceived insecurity? Scopper is not Sanji's parallel, he's simply Roger's left hand man. No more or less.

Gaban was also the only Roger Pirate to receive significant dialogue and panel time outside of Roger Pirates we know or have witnessed already in present timeline.

Literally the ONLY one.

If you think Oda wasted good chunk of panel time and dialogues on him (in a tightly packed, fast pace flashback) to build some irrelevant fodder character, randomly, seriously get help lol.
