I'm not denying Roger's a swordsman, which he is, but based on these pages, he didn't seem to start off as one. I think he's a brawler who incorporated swordsmanship into it.

Oh, you're right. I just don't think he was the "WSS" in that time frame.
Gaban will "parallel" Sanji in the sense he's third in command, just like how Crocus "paralleled" Chopper in the sense he's the crew's doctor. Not sure if Oda wants us to draw parallels between them like with Rayleigh/Zoro, but if Gaban cooks and gets into arguments with Rayleigh, that'd be...
After breaking up a fight between Buggy and Shanks, Rayleigh gets into a funny one with Roger Pirates chef Gaban, and it's implied that's how they normally are.
So Oden was Rayleigh's opponent.

Luffy VS Ace and then Whitebeard
Zoro VS Vista and then Marco
Sanji VS Thatch and then Jozu
(Those are hypothetical fights.)
