Color spread shows all the right hand men (excluding the world government ones) but not necessarily the strongest characters "under" each captain
Oden > rayleigh and scopper
Ben > lucky and yasopp
Yamato > king and queen
Katakuri > smoothie and cracker
Killer > heat and wire
Alive Ace > marco and jozu
Arguably teach was Marco and jozu level pre df and yami teach > Marco and jozu
Sabo > kuma and ivankovBepo > penguin and shachi
Low key hopefully law eventually recruits someone stronger than at least base bepoπΏ
Even for if oden was able to become shogun it likely would have had the same pattern. Not a pirate crew but neither are the revsπΏAdult momo > kinemon and denjiro
Need to know more about the blackbeard pirates but either
Shiryu > ??? and ??? or kuzan > shiryu and ???
As for the strawhats either
Zoro > sanji and jinbe or ??? > zoro and sanji
- Zoro will still be stronger than every other character above tho in order to become the next wss
- Tho i dont think anyone would be allowed to be stronger than sanji and especially zoro during the presnt time. Post pirate king luffy years later maybe
As to why imo ray, marco, and king were made the right hands if they weren't the strongest character under their captains
- Ray was with roger long before oden came into the picture (like around 20 years before). Its not like roger would ever just demote rayleigh even if he somehow found 20 people stronger
- As for marco oden left the wbp and died so he was basically next in line. Then with ace joining he was soon to get surpassing but i doubt even when ace got noticeably stronger that whitebeards the type to just take Marco's role/title away
- For king hes been around longer and yamato refuses to officially join. Tho kaido does seem like the type of dude to automatically make yamato hi his right hand if he could
