The xebec hype is real tbh, but I think people will overdue it like anything else. If he really fought Roger and Garp 2v1, it most likely wasnt that close.....
I don´t really care to defend the dead admiral who we know nothing about but, this is oda.....
I won´t be suprised if he adds some bullshit, to make it less of a clear 1v1. Not that it matters much. Xebec>any admiral seems fair for now
His portrayal and feats clearly reflects he was the strongest of his era.
The degree of aura, will power, haki and strength you need to keep 3 future monster yonkous as underlings is unrivalled.
Killing an admiral is another portrayal which is exclusively belongs to him. Only Character which comes close to pulling this off is Akainu
Then, we clearly know Garp and Roger - went against him and it's implied Xebec crew abandoned him.
It's not about the length Garp and Roger went as tag team - but the intent matters here - Garp and Roger had to combine their strength.....as one wasn't enough.
His portrayal and hype are unmatched
