Roger wasnt any stronger when he became PK than he was before he become PK. There is no PK tier. :pepeke:
Clash with Whitebeard shows him far from strongest while at the same time shows WB holding back his DF powers.
Never was he portrayed as superior to Whitebeard, the man who had WSM title before Great age of Pirates.

Manga tells us Roger was the Pirate King.
Manga tells us the Pirate King = guy who stands above those pirates with the Quality of a King (CoC)

So what's the issue here?
Last chapter managa told us that the people considered him the PK.

He conquered the seas ,he traveled the world* but in any part they say he defeated "X" they don't even consider strength to calling him PK.

Akainu is weaker than Roger yet he can also became PK in a year if he wanted according to Oda....

PK is a title of an achievement so far political .
Does it require strength damm well it does but is needed to be the strongest not really.

Manga tells us WSS is a guy who refuses a challenge from a crippled man. Manga tells us the WSS walks away from an emperor but is happy to fight an emperors underling.
Manga tells us wss walked on to yonko territory past the ycs and slagged off a yonko in front of his own crew.
Manga tells us wss saw wb was no lpnger top of the tree and went after luffy instead.

Manga told us back at Saboady people considered him PK. Exactly what is new about this? Manga told us in chapter 0 people started calling him PK after he went to Raftel.. exactly what did the last chapter tell us that we didnt know already 500+chapters ago?

Sengoku to Shiki: "Roger is the Pirate King, he will win and escape"
You think Sengoku just pulled it out of his ass that Roger is stronger than Shiki?

Shiki to Whitebeard: "The wall that stood before us is gone"
You think Shiki ignorantly stated that to WB, even though he's known WB for decades.. and it was Roger who he considered the wall, not WB?

Don Chinjao to Luffy: " One who stands atop those Kings(CoC users) is the one who's called the Pirate King."
You think Chinjao pulled this out of his ass, despite facing Rayleigh and etc? You think Oda focused so much on Luffy needing to be stronger than the Emperors for fun?


And you're taking it out of context. Sakazuki if he started off as his present state, as the main character would be PK within a year.. which is logical, considering majority of the manga is spent on puffy reaching top tier level.

Manga tells us he didnt have the balls to accept Shanks challenge, but was glad to accept Vista's.
Manga tells us he's beaten... oh wait manga doesnt tell us who he's beaten.

You : He was the pirate King the strongest of all pirates !

Manga facts : He was the pirate King the one who discovered the One Piece.

Oh wait after clashing with WB ,or discovering the OP he grew stronger even though he had a terminal illness.

Akainu example was that you don't need to be the strongest one in the verse to be PK.


Did Oden follow Roger for his strength? NO
Oden was captivated by Roger charisma.

Without him no PK.

Did any SH follow Luffy for his strength ? NO
His capacity to make allies is what helps him.

Heck Mihawk didn't say he has the strength to be the next PK but that he has the ability to make allies which is far better.

This doesn't mean you don't need to strong to be PK but being the strongest one in the verse is not required.

I do think that Roger would be able to defeat Big Mom, Shanks, BB, Shiki in 1v1 but he wouldn't be able to defeat Wb, Kaido, Rocks, Garp which even though dosen't make him the strongest but surly makes one of them.




Yes, Roger didn’t defeat all the Yonkos and Admirals and he wasn’t the strongest character in one piece he was only one of the strongest but becoming the Pirate King in Roger’s time was deferent then now, also becoming Pirate King Is deferent for Roger and Luffy for example; Roger didn’t have the time nor the need to defeat the Yonko and Admirals also for Luffy Pirate King means BE THE FREAST MAN ON THE PLANET which means that Luffy needs to become the strongest in the world in order to be free from everyone and everything. People who said that Luffy needs to defeat all the Yonkos and Admirals weren’t wrong you can’t deny the fact that there is a strong emphasis on Luffy becoming the strongest character at the end of the series by becoming the Pirate King and even BB Luffy’s rival for Pirate King throne wants to become the strongest in the world and even thinks that he already is.
Luffy doesn't need to or is he going to defeat 3 admirals and 4 youkous. Luffy is just talking. Cause thats what luffy does. You think Luffy is going to beat up Fujitora in this story or Shanks. Lmao

Thats all talk. Facts are twice he said he was done running. Then ran away.
Exactly, Luffy talks shit since xhapter 1. He doesn't know the future or does he do exactly everything he says. Luffy will probably not beat up Fuji. He doesmt need too.

- I did where did you think I got the panels of Sengoku & Shiki from, the panel of them tying doesn't exist, that's why I'm asking you to find it. lmao. Your boy is smart, wouldn't tell you to find a panel that I know exists.

- Actually only once, with the narration post MF during his death (and this all depends on your interpretation). With buggy saying WB fought roger to a standstill in a fight, which we now know only lasted 3 days and was non-all out, so essentially irrelevant. And what numerous times did you see man, I only saw them fight once so far, and that was for merely 3 days.

- Garp is not a pirate, that's why he's irrelevant. And the superiority is unclear. But when it comes to Pirates, the PK's superiority is clear.

I never mentioned big mom, just like I never mentioned Captain John, and etc who were big time pirates during that era, because there's nothing mentioned about their interaction with Roger.


Did the manga say ......
Mihawk beat Shanks in 1v1? No
Mihawk beat Rayleigh? No
Mihawk beat Fujitora? No
Mihawk beat Kizaru? No
Mihawk beat Vista? No
Mihawk beat Smoothie? No
Mihawk beat Shiryuu? No

You might as well apply that to Mihawk and say he's not the WSS because the manga doesn't tell us who he beat in a 1v1.
The vivecard said WB was the strongest even before the Great pirate era. Roger was literally getting sicker and sicker by the day. Just like how WB was getting sicker and showed the effects of this. He was getting his ass beat in Marineford until he snuck Akainu.

Well the sure thing is you can't become Pirate King if you lack strenght. Now calling it being necessarily the strongest is excessive.

Not every pirate wants to become the King.

The manga literally says WB is equal to Roger by the narrator. In a 1 v 1 they are equal. I dont care aboit symbolism. If they fought they both going down.

There is only one man who has been hyped as the strongest/king of 1 vs 1 battles
Kaido!!!!

Xebec was king of His Era " Rocks Era" (+50-38 years ago) ; UNDISPUTED ruler of his time.
Roger was King of his era "Roger Era" (38-24 years ago) , shared the seas with Shiki and WB
WB was called King of Great Pirate Era (24-2, shared the seas with Kaido BM And later on Shanks.
Luffy will be King of "Worst Gen Era" , with Teach & Kidd being close.

Just Like Roger, Luffy wont solo his greatest obstacle: Rocks : Kaido and BM

But will surpass Roger by defeating the strongest marine (Akainu) and strongest Emperor (pirate) ever (EoS Teach)

Sick Roger is equal to healthy prime WB
Healthy Roger is slightly superior , that's why Shiki called him a wall.

Roger and WB
Kaido and BM
Akainu and Kuzan
Sengoku and Garp
arent really equals, Roger/Akainu/Kaido have a slight edge over their counterparts.

The only character known to be PK level due to sheer power, is Sakazuki. While Roger was gifted 3 poneglyphs, Oda said that Akainu's power would allow him to accomplish the same. Probably by destroying every Yonko. But since he is not the protagonist, he falls under the authority of the Gorosei, who don't want him to wreak havoc. They might want to find raftel themselves and not have Akainu a) either figure out the whole story or b) have him accidentally destroy the island. As a protagonist however, Akainu would've nothing to lose. He would destroy the Yonkos and the WG alike, and turn the world into a Marine HQ.

Short answer to the thread = No Zoro will not be as strong as EoS Luffy.

Long answer = He doesn’t have to be, as Ussop said in Zou they can steal the RP, have Robin read it and Luffy is PK.
 
#78
Why would Buggy use Roger to hype WB otherwise. Roger was the benchmark for the strongest people in the series.

Having one equal doesn't take anything from the PK level. Roger had WB, Luffy will have BB.

The one and only who wouldn't even need to collect Poneglyphs in order to find his own way
