That's called portrayal. What have the Yonko done? Can you show why Shanks is a Yonko? No, you can't. But we know that Rayleigh is a bigger name in OP than him.
As for what Rayleigh has done. He did this in his old age, and Oda bestowed this hype upon him.
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
Often the huffing thing is blown out of proportion. I'll start with the sweating first.
Rayleigh was only sweating when Kuma arrived and started sending away the SH
8 pages later, in the same chapter, amidst a full blown clash with Kizaru we get a close up of Ray's face and there's no sweat
7 pages after that another close up of Ray and no sweating again
So, he was only sweating because, as he himself noted, he was too preoccupied with Kizaru to help the SHC.
And this huffing thing is blown out of proportion. The man was huffing in one panel and people are making it seem like he was on life support and about to die. Not like we saw other people huff after simple things, like Fuji yelling and doing his raging tiger attack
or Luffy after just running a bit
Does that mean their stamina is shitty? Absolutely not.
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
It has to do with exactly what Kaido said. No Samurai will ever be as strong as Oden. He said nothing about Swordsman. Putting that in front of Samurai with a / does not change the narrative, Lol.
Lets just try to understand on a grand scheme of things lwhat is Oden?
He is a swordsman a samurai who was
a)Not able to attain highest Ryou mastery a swordsman can attain by making a permanent black blade
b)The world of One Piece did not recognize him as WSS despite him being a public figure with high bounty due to his accomplishments not being up to par
c)He is not even the most revered samurai of his own country. There is an entity that Odens own daughter considers a God and considers Odens blade as less valuable than Ryumas blade
d)Oda didn't even give Oden a Supreme grade blade
As a pirate what is he?
a)He is a Pirate Kings subordinate who was special in his own right but not special enough to be either Pirate Kings partner or his right hand man
b)His notoriety, his legend is fraction of what Rayleighs legend is
Yet despite all that Oden is INCREDIBLY STRONG. But Oden being that strong is a channel to show how monstrously strong people with direct superiority over him, people like Ryuma, EoS Zoro, Mihawk and Prime Rayleigh were.
It is retarded that One Piece fan base is dumb enough to not understand something as simple as that and try to put Oden on same level as Mihawk, Rayleigh or even Ryuma
I kinda like Jinbei, though I just haven't seen anything special enough to be his big fan. Like I have to see some legendary shit that we saw from pre TS Zoro for me to truly be his fan.
