I'm going to go with the chapter 1027 narrative for Kaido, where Luffy's CoC's is now considered in the big leagues to these Great Pirates. While Kaido have demonstrated on both hands that this level of quality is in his possession in copying Whitebeard and Roger's CoC feat.
If they are the standard (100) and Kaido has proven to be the same.
The problem I'm right now having is that a Sky split is a certain benchmark, that confirms a certain lvl, a lvl that we as fans consider solid top tier lvl or atleast mid top tier lvl or great pirate lvl, whatever one wants to call it.
For that it's a great and pretty much the only measuring stick, but what do we do, if guys -via portrayal (and feats) - should be considered above others, who were already sky splitting- similar to drunk Kaido. Via shuron hakke Kaido we know levels above are possible and in his case we got verbal confirmation, but otherwise it's difficult to deduct.
So what I think is, that we would do injustice to PK Roger and Primebeard and the whole FB Rogerbeard clash, when we would just look at the sky split phenomenon and basically scale them down at hand of it.
It's not clear yet what Oda's going to do in order to portray lvls above that visually, but I think it's very likely that at these lvls of CoC power, the sky split visual basically makes up the base and then Oda can go the extra mile with added information and visuals.
And I think he did so within the Rogerbeard clash. The whole island was shaking and ships at the coasts were capsizing, trees were flying around and stuff. It's just faaaar too much extra things he went for there and then it just so happens to be PK Roger and prolly WSM Primebeard he did it for.
For me personally it's clear Oda wanted to establish a new height for these two in specific - besides guys like DR Rocks and Joyboy ofc.
Hence I'd personally never put them at a 100 next to the others, even if WB vs Shanks for example was "just" a sky split aswell (been a long time since then).
What do you think about that?
From a narrative standpoint they all had the same ceiling in their CoC's haki (while Kaido was there as message of future-tense)
You mean it as: They all weren't equal yet, but the context tells us all of them have the same potential or in other words, all of them are going to peak at the same level..?
So from what we have seen DR Xebec started the sky split from a peer standpoint (100) and then the other 5 caught up to that level after GV in CoC's haki.
You don't consider Xebec's solo sky split special or superior to the conventional clash created sky splits?
And just in order to get you right: For you it's basically: Drunk Kaido >~ DR Xebec ~ Primebeard ~ Prime Roger ~ Big Mom ~ sober Kaido ~ 1026 Luffy..?
