God Valley was the last chance for Oda to do something about Roger's portrayal and give him feats or the World's Strongest title or to show him dominate someone worthy dominating and the madman Oda did his best to not lift Roger on a pedestal.
It is like he picked things from my playbook but made it even worse...

I already expected Rayleigh to be equal to Roger but this madman made even Scopper equal to Roger.
He didnt even show him in as good of a light as he did with Xebec or Harald.
And this is 39 years old prime Roger, the same age his apprentice Shanks is today...

Whitebeard got a far better portrayal against Domi Xebec than Roger did.
WB stood his ground alone and managed to fend off Domified Xebec while Roger and Garp were trashed in 1vs2...

Remember Chinjao's words how Pirate King is a Conqueror above Conquerors? Yeah... he wasn't. Just like I said he wasn't.
It's like we already knew that what makes one into Pirate King is not being stronger than others but having Oden/Robin to tell you where to go.

Heck, Oda didnt even give him a haki burst to negate DF abilities to at least put him on the same portrayal as Shanks.
Not like I already said that Shanks is all that Roger was but more... Your fault for doubting my words.

In the end, the man of countless equals was nothing special, just as I promised.
Ladies and gentlemen, this man has been your hero all this time, the one you were swearing upon to be a limit for Zoro's strength:

Roger > Rayleigh >~ Gabum > Oden >~ Kaido
The funny thing about this is that it is literally in the opposite direction. :shame:
Kaido as the ultimate, WSC, above entire generation at #1.
Oden the strongest among Roger Pirates, the one who surpassed expectations of might alike Roger's and WB's at #2.
Gaban, the #2 of Roger Pirates at #3.
Rayleigh and Roger fighting over last two spots.

Titles have lost their worth, and Roger was portrayed fine, he didn't have to postpone his fight with Xebec 5th in command.​
Roger only looked fine if you had expectations like I did - that Roger was never anything special compared to others.
But I am fairly sure nobody rated Roger as low as did so he was far from fine.
I know very well what people expected of the mighty Pirate King. :saden:

What I learned from the God Valley incident is that amidst a world filled with sword wielders and Devil Fruit users, there stands Garp — the Fist. A true brawler who relies solely on his raw power to overcome any obstacle. His sheer strength surpassess the lethality of sword mongers; he endured flames of unimaginable intensity, made WSM Whitebeard retreat, Punched the Pirate King Roger through his Supreme Grade sword and even taught him Haki. Garp embodies the essence of a pure fighter — the ultimate brawler deserving of the highest respect.

Kind of expected this tbh. How was Roger going to be unambigiously top 1 when Kaido is the strongest beast, Whitebeard strongest man, and Mihawk strongest swordsman.

Most comparisons with Luffy have been about pretty much everything except his power level. Likely what crowned him pirate king was his ability to go anywhere, do anything, and get off generally clean regardless of who he dunked on.
