Where did the World Govt do that lol? Right back at you.
It was the general public who view the biggest 4 pirates as Yonkou.
Lmaooo i'm the one denying yea?
The only thing the world government awarded was their Bounties.
The world government never called anyone "Emperor of the Sea", the general public & Morgans did it - which is for the 4 biggest pirates in the New World with the power, notoreity & influence for it.
Just like how it was just Morgans & the Public who called Luffy the 5th Emperor at the end of WCI.
Kidd & Law have the same bounty as Luffy, if the World Govt called Luffy a Yonko, then why did they not call Kidd or Law one?
As i said, show a single piece of evidence as to the World Government giving the title of "Pirate King" to Roger.
They changed his name in his Bounty posters to Gold Roger, they never called anyone "Emperor", "Pirate King" or "WSS".
There isn't a single piece of evidence in the manga which says so.
