Sengoku said Rocks was his first and greatest rival. And the thing is, we saw Roger was pretty young in God Valley, so he was as far from his prime as Whitebeard perhaps, and Whitebeard was part of Rocks crew, as was Shiki (same generation), Big Mom and young Kaido. And Xebec was never explicitly stated to be stronger than Roger. They were in the same ballpark.
Nah they weren't

Xebec killed an admiral when he was around 22.

Around God Valley, both roger and Xebec hit their primes. Yet, we have Garp and Roger teamed up against him.


They weren't in same ball park....Xebec could be the top 1 of his era
 
So if the ancient giant ship builders helped build Noah/Pluton

Could that be another hint towards Mosa = Shirahoshi 🤔

This Yamato cover story.. I wonder if the end of it will be Blackbeard attacking Wano 🤔

What's crazy is that they clearly seemed to dislike him as a person (we saw both WB and BM criticize him behind his back) so it seems they mainly folllowed him because he was the toughest guy in town.
You know how Kaido liked to break others will by defeating them and have them join him? He was trying to do it with Kidd and Luffy.


I think he learnt it from Xebec.


BM, WB and Kaido - knowing they are monsters - I don't think they would just submit themselves. They probably were drawn to Xebec hype of killing an admiral and tried to fight him. But it's likely Xebec defeated them and had them submit to him or follow him
 
What if Rocks killed Akainu's daddy and that's the reason for his extreme justice? Does it works in term of timeline?
Feels like it makes the OP world to small if that happens. I wouldn’t be against it but it’s a bit to basic for my liking

Feel like Akainu’s hatred for pirates should also coincide with why Dragon decided to leave the marines
 
Are you really saying a 39 yo Roger was far from his prime?
It's really weird that people just conveniently forget that Oda confirmed that both WB and Roger were already in their prime 36 years ago, aka just two years after God Valley.



There's just not a lotta logic in thinking they both grew massively over these two years. Some growth is expected, but I highly doubt it was all that much.

The fact they they entered their golden age just after Rocks died implies that they were already in their prime or near it in term of strenght, they just lived in Rocks shadow til he died
 
WB > other Yonkous indivodually was explicitly stated.
He was literally the WSM.



I meant someone like BM, "a BM" of that time, not BM herself.

If Xebec had beaten a character like BM back in the day, no one would have said that Yonkou were hypetools. Xebec Is someone at Roger/WB's level so no one had any doubts he could beat a top tier.

The difference Is Admirals were always there, while Oda cannot say that Xebec has beaten a random Emperor since the rank didn't even exist back then.

I really don't see a problem if a super top tier beats an Admiral tbh. WGHQ even highlighted how this was the reason for Xebec to have a super reputation.
No it was not, unless you want to cling to MF where WB himself said he cant be strongest forever. Kaido was strongest individually, he was literally the WSC.

Yeah someone like BM, we have no clue about who were pirates back then and if there were pirates or not. From what has been shown the Emperors have existed as part of the world system. Unless you are suggesting that WG had control of the whole world and then pirates managed to take away the control from them in the New World. We are entering headcanon territory since anything is possible. Ryuma was alive centuries ago and even in his time there were pirates. Joyboy was the first pirate so the pirate legacy stretches to at least back then.

A BM of that time? Yeah for that Oda would have to create another unique monster just for them to be defeated by Rocks.
Xebec is at that level because he was portrayed as such, he was portrayed as Rogers greatest rival with the WSS (or to be) under and a to be WSC under him. Xebec is at that level because he was ranked by Kaido along with Roger/WB/Shanks.

The difference is that Oda has constantly used the Yonkos or monsters like these to show them as top tiers at the expense of Admirals. Oda could have simply stated (which may still happen) that Xebec managed to escape after barely defeating/killing an Admiral and the word hypetool would not be used. Bring me one example of an Admiral looking better against a Yonko at the end of a conflict/confrontation. No whataboutism.

As of now as depicted in the manga it is here is guy named Rocks equal to/same tier/same category as Roger/WB/Shanks/Oden and he killed an Admiral in his younger days before he founded the Rocks pirate group.
