Smoker is going to get a stupid high power jump next we see him.
As for the pirate rival, I doubt he’ll have one. He’s going to be the undisputed king of the pirates and will rule the seas. He’s not going to get the title and die like Roger. He doesn’t need a Whitebeard
They can catch up to Luffy's level later by EOS,Whitebeard was weaker than Roger during the God Valley incident and later on was equal with him!
Oda can replicate this with Law and Kidd!
One Piece moves forward and Luffy continues to widen the gap between him and the Worst Generation.
They are really too late to catch up with him since Luffy has arrived in the new world he devastates everything in his path leaving no room for competition.
Luffy's rival is and has always been Blackbeard, the worst generation were just an afterthought of making the story more interesting.
I don't know what Kid's role will be, but he was never meant to rival Luffy, but to show the dangers of the sea and what happens without luck and trustworthy allies.
Kid and Law have been fighting big mom for the past 10 chapters. Big Mom is noticeably injured and Both Kid and Law came into the fight in less than perfect shape due to the rooftop.
I don't think its a stretch to say that Kid and Law are at least half as strong as Luffy. Given how Luffy negs every other supernova bar zoro, I think this qualifies them as his rivals.
What's more, I feel like this is about the same relation rocks era whitebeard and Garp would have had to Roger.

Being Luffy's rival is the entire point of Kid's character. He still has an unresolved subplot with shanks that will inevitably lead to a confrontation between him and Luffy. This idea that Kid isn't Luffy's real rival because Luffy is stronger is absolutely bogus. Kid is strong enough to fight big mom and not get neg diffed, which means he is strong enough to fight Luffy, which at the very least, is more than any supernova bar Law and Zoro can say.
Yep Kidd and all those Supernovas are honestly irrelevant,The story’s main cast are the straw hat pirates and only they matter,Oda will use those worst gen scrubs when the plot seems convenient ,I dunno why People bought into the Hype,It was already mentioned that Oda Didn’t intend to draw out the worst gen and that topic was only brought upon because Oda’s Editor thought the archipelago Arc wasn’t much Interesting.
Well there aren't many compelling candidates for now but it depends on what Oda wants to do in EoS. We don't know if Luffy will keep roaming the seas once the crew is disbanded.
"Whether you like it or not" Who said you wouldn't like it or the opposite? WTF?
I'm looking at the current facts and yes for now it looks like Luffy doesn't have a rival. How can a real rival be created by the idea of a publisher who wanted to create the group "Supernovas" and not Oda? A true rival would have a real, not superficial, close representation to Luffy.
A true rival of Luffy would have at least an advanced haki. And a crew of Luffy's level It would have been in the posters that Imu Sama held, (Luffy and Blackbeard)
If Kid beats Big Mom with Law it's good for now we are not sure that will happen. I'm just seeing the facts, lay down.
You don't have to be aggressive, I'm just saying I see while you're just hoping that your character is facing something and not always in real life. @Lukegranders

It is true that at this stage in history it is no longer necessary
I think deep down we all knew Luffy's only rival would be Blackbeard. But I think we forced ourselves into wanting Kid and Law to be on Luffy's level or compete with him.
When they were revealed as the supernova captain trio back in Sabaody with them bickering for sure everybody thought that but then they get no nourishment by Oda.
He too is not really a rival...there is pretty much no rivalry shown nor they are as concerned about it....he is just a contender for PK....and is also powerful unlike others.
BB in his introduction has been marked as the total opposote of Luffy, also he was introduced very very early in the setie meaning that him was included in the original idea while characters like the supernovas are introduced just way later and so can be only details or at best branches around the main plot. We got no real sense of pressure, true, but Oda does the same for otger important characters like Shanks. Luffy eants to have his adventure and in the end find the One piece while he will fight what fate brings him. Also, and this is paramount as well, BB has been the main character behind Marineford war, Ace capture and has a direct link with Xebec exactly as Luffy has a direct link with Roger. In short BB is written to be not just a rival but the final villain.
A rivalry for me is when two people compete to get stronger. English is not my main language so correct me if I'm wrong.
Bb never compete with Luffy, so he is not Luffy's Rival. Kidd and Smoker show more rivalry with Luffy but sadly they got left behind, especially Smoker post TS.
