Chapter Discussion Officially confirmed: Pirate King = Grand Tourist King

So how many giants are going to join her in the fight

That’s what you’re saying right?

100 giants? 200 giants? Just Loki, it will be a 2v1 of Big mom and Loki vs Whitebeard? Is that what you’re saying Big mom was saying?
Dude who cares? The point is that she needs a giant army to kill all the other Yonko and become the king (technically queen but the title is just king for some reason) of the pirates.
Even if we assume she didn't mean that she can't get past Whitebeard himself, we already have multiple other statements that put him above her.

I care.

I care about what the words characters say mean

you’ve refused to explain so I’m going to go with my explanation that means what I think it means

Big mom wants an army so that she can use it to fight and defeat Whitebeard’s army.

So we’re done here
Big mom wants an army so she can finally defeat Whitebeard. Even if her crew is weaker, if she were comparable she’d be able to find a way, look at Roger vs Shiki.

Besides none of this changes that the great pirate era, the era where Whitebeard Kaido and big mom were competing was stated to be Whitebeards era where he was the king of the seas. And that the power didn’t shift till after he died.

If he was just like big mom and Kaido, oda wouldn’t have specified the shift in power as much as we’ve seen big moms and Kaidos death had very little effect on the verse in comparison.

Whitebeard will always be a tier above meme and Kaido, that’s just a canon

And yet he was still equal to the rest of the Yonko as per Garp’s words
He said they were on the same level just like Buggy said that about him and shanks.

Everyone knows that Garp was talking about him being an emperor ruling over the new world. There’s a reason Garp an arc later talks about Whitebeard as the strongest pirate alive.

They are all stalemated, including whitebeard

Big mom says increasing her army would let her break the stalemate. That’s that

They aren’t. Big Mom and Kaido are walled by Whitebeard as they want to become the Pirate Kings. Whitebeard wants nothing of the sort. At this point he has his dream, and he’s just fighting to protect them. So he has no reason to agress on any other yonko.

Whitebeard isn’t stalemated by them cause he’s not playing the same game as them. He’s just blocking them.

Are you gonna use this argument for Shanks too? Shsnks also didn’t want to become pirate king so you can also just say he was exactly the same as Whitebeard

also your idea of “walled” doesn’t even work because we are not told that Whitebeard had ever done a single thing to stop either Big mom or Kaido from doing anything they wanted.

Big mom was making her alliance with the giants whether Whitebeard liked it or not. Where is his wall in this instance? The reason her alliance with the giants fell apart had nothing to do with Whitebeard.

same for Kaido, Kaido killed Whitebeard’s man and Whitebeard didn’t do shit. Kaido ravaged Wano and set up his weapons manufacture empire to build his army and set up his smiles with Doffy and nothing Whitebeard said or did hindered a single thing Kaido was doing.

To become pirate king you need the 4 poneglyphs. Once again, literally nothing Whitebeard did stopped any of the other Yonko from finding the 4 poneglyphs.

what the hell are you even talking about “walling”? walling what? What the hell did Whitebeard ever do?

the only thing we know any Yonko ever did was stop other Yonko from getting more territory. And all the Yonko stopped each other just as well on this front. No Yonko, including Whitebeard could just take another yonko’s territory. That was the stalemate

We are told that. We’re told specifically that during the great pirate era that Whitebeard ruled the sea in front of the PKs throne and none could surpass him to take it.

You’re just replacing manga with your headcanon about this.

The manga says that they are all in a stalemate. Plain and simple.

and the manga has spent 600 chapters since Marineford showing the stalemate is completely real and not exaggerated.

We have had 600 chapters for Oda to write something like “Whitebeard kept the final poneglyph behind his territory line to make it impossible for the anyone to reach laugh tale” and Nope. Nothing of the sort. It’s some “burn scar man” who has that and Whitebeard seemingly was the only Yonko who didn’t even have a poneglyph.

Win post. WB guarded shit. Kaido and BM all had their poneglyphs. WB didn't even wanted waido smoke.

We had 600 chapters of characters even after Whitebeards death talking about how Whitebeard was the king of the seas and his death changed the power dynamics of the entire world.

Whitebeard literally protected the Fishman Island poneglyph for decades? Like what??

Any Yonko’s death changes the power dynamics of the world. The stalemate is as is

We don’t know when the fishman island poneglyph was removed from fishman island. It could have been before fishman island became Whitebeard territory. Fishman island became Whitebeard territory very recently, when warlord Jimbei went to Whitebeard post the Fisher tiger’s death

Owarida. Confirmation PK tier is simply Yonko level + circumnavigating the entire globe. No requirement of strongest or beating any peak pirate who defined the era




Roger never defeated any prime Yonko in battle. Stalemated Primebeard, Gram Polo Jr and rookie Oden with 3 prime top tiers in his crew, sneaked around to avoid fighting Prime BM and Streusen inside her turf




Best he did was prob beat young rookie Kaido who often let himself be captured by Marines for free food and if parallels are any indication, he prob pulled up with his entire crew to gang up on a young rookie like Saint Red hair Pirates did in MF

Primebeard ~ Prime BM ~ Prime Kaido ~ Dodger > Shiki = Silver Axe = Wang Zhi

You're basically saying Luffy > Roger already, which I agree.

Please show me the effect Kaido and memes death had? That’s two yonko. Are you going to tell me it had any near the effect of Whitebeards?

Also fishman island was his for about 20 years. He started protecting it not long after the start of the Great Pirate Era because the increase amount of pirates caused kidnappings until WB stopped it
 
Too early to powerscale Roger. Cant say anything until we see his flashback. Keep in mind that he was a side character in god valley. It is rocks and harald's flashback. Story wise roger should be the strongest pirate though, with whitebeard being the only one who could match him. Only characters like imu joyboy and eos luffy (and maybe eos teach) will be above him. We have seen him in 3 fights up until now. Vs prime whitebeard, demon rocks and oden. First one seemed like a tie, second one he held pretty good considering that demon rocks in unstoppable and lastly oden was negged. And i dont thing that oden was much weaker than the one who fought kaido.
If he was a fraud someone whpuld have said sth or oda would have implied sth by now. Whitebeard, big mom, kaido, garp, shiki all those top tiers spoke highly of roger so he definitely wasnt a weakling.
