Break Week Did Roger have it easy

#2
Yes.

1)the title didnt exist so he was able to clutch it without specific parameters.

2)the majority of the road glyphs at the time dont seem to be held by emporer level pirates. Which brings me to 3.

3) were there any emporer level pirates when roger was a rookie? Who were the pirates 30+ years older than roger when he sailed?

4) were sengoku, garp, and kong the only marine heavy hitters? No warlords, pacifista, seraphim?

5) who were his rivals down to the number? Sure, whitebeard was his equal, but who on WB side took on Rayleigh and gaban? Or later on, oden?

100% yes. He stirred up the shit and now everyone growing up in that shitstorm is stronger than the previous generations.

There are at least 2 ppl rn that are old pk level

Of course he did

It isn't even up for debate

I don't care how strong Roger is... REALISTICALLY if you put him in this era there's no way he becomes the Pirate King (without the same plot armor that Luffy has)

When Roger was on his journey people didn't even know the road poneglyphs existed/what they were used for

Big Mom had one and the rest were spread out throughout the world

His biggest rival and equal Whitebeard gave him the key to one of the poneglyphs (Wano's) and a translator through Oden

Who was there to stand in his way?

Did it take longer? Yes

Was it easier? Definitely
 

Fujishiro

Cheese for everyone!

A few friends of mine have been telling me he had it harder but for the life of me I couldnt think of why.

If we rank his 2nd journey to Grandline after he found out he was sick (which took him like what, 2 years?) then it's way easier than the road the SHs took. The only life-and-death battle that he had really was against Shiki's armada. Then the poneglyhs with he took for free, along with a translator.
