I’m gonna be honest I’ve never understood the “that character not being a conqueror would make his character more interesting people”. It seems absolutely counter intuitive to what oda is writing in his story 2 points I’ll address.
1. Rayleigh tells us- most people who’ve made a name for themselves possess it. Yes I know most does not mean all, but we basically now have our current era xebec in teach who we know was not only a conqueror but also able to fight both Roger and garp.
2.chinjao tells luffy to his face there are countless ahead with the qualities of a king pk stands atop of them he also tells us teech has a lot of potential
these two points alone just seem to be enough in itself that the top top tiers will have it and luffy has to surpass them.

The prior pk rivals son doesn’t need it when the pk son had it as well on top of a very strong df. Idk man too much lines up now especially since we know luffy inherited it from dragon, ace inherited it from Roger, bb inherits it from his father rocks
