Even if you take out the parallels Oda has done nothing but shove the whole “next generation” thing down our throats

Luffy Kid Law Zoro and Killer are supposed to be the 5 leaders of the next generation (for pirates at least)

Right now the only one I can confidently say is comparable to Shanks is Luffy and I may be disproven in this chapter

Kid Law Zoro and Killer get washed

What other power ups could they get to hit that level?

Zoro is supposed to surpass Mihawk but what else could Oda give him at this point to push him to that level?
Disposition of a King is to rise above others

Luffy and Zoro are just those
There can only be one king for a respective field
