Zoro was always a Rayleigh parallel. Do you think its a coincidence that the nothing happened moment was just an arc prior to his introduction? Or the fact that Zoro was introduced as a supernova alongside Luffy in Sabaody? And the fact that people thought Zoro should be a captain in that very...

That isn't really a great comparison. Roger and WB fought to a standstill and were regarded as equals. Garp and Sengoku have never been called equals and Sengoku has no feats comparable to Garp. I think Sengoku is close to Garp in strength, but they are NOT portrayed as equals. Ever.

Rayleigh was also called a legend alongside Whitebeard... does that mean they're equal?

Just because Sengoku is strong enough to hang with the GOATs doesn't mean he's equal to them.

No no don't you understand? Characters need to go absolutely all out in every clash to prove that they are at their strongest. Minor clashes mean they must be weaker. Mihawk = Vista btw. ^_^

If Roger and Garp weren't in their primes, Oda would have had them get stronger haki in their fight with Xebec. Instead, he had them use all of their haki reserves, meaning they had to surpass the limit of what they were capable of. Neither of them got any new techniques, just used all of their...

I said powerscaling aside

Personally I don't view Sengoku as Garp's equal though. Only a comrade that is close in power. There are no statements that portray them as equal, nor has Sengoku proven himself to be on the level of Garp, Roger, or Whitebeard. If anything, I view him as someone closer to Rayleigh.

I'm just poking fun at the fact that he wasn't there to see what really happened to Xebec.

Powerscaling aside, Law and Kid don't even have a similar dynamic to Zoro and Sanji- like at all lol. It's such a random comparison. Law and Kid don't even have a dynamic as a duo, only as a trio with Luffy. They teamed up for 1 battle.

Sengoku is Garp's cheerleader. Brotha wasn't included among "the toughest men on the seas." :kayneshrug:

Is there definitive proof that they weren't in their primes during God Valley? I don't see any reason to think they weren't. Roger is as old as Shanks.

Because powerscaling is based on how likable a character is.

We clearly now have the context to understand why that was. He was Domi Reversi'd.

All I will say is that I understand why most fights in the present story involve devil fruits. Oda has shown us that even at the highest level, fights that don't involve devil fruits just look like a street brawl.
