Current Events Roger doesnt say Scopper is his "best man"

[MD Zolo]

Rayeigh still likes young girls though

Sidenote: In the meantime, Zorofans are daydreaming after the poor performance of Rayleigh, that Zoro will surpass Roger LOL

Oda has given us the opportunity to do it, so why not. Until proven otherwise, Roger is a swordsman.

Of course, it may only take the next chapter to see that Roger is also a brawler and fist-fighting Garp.

Sad day for sanji fans scopper isn t one of rogers best men
His best men are ray and crocus

Crazy how the Sanji and Chopper of the RP were the two best members

 

[Sadistic Senpai]

Here is a little change in translation as well

The translation never said that WB Pirates and Roger Pirates were on Equal footing.

Now, all the WB or Roger powerscaling obsessed guys will be like "Roger had the upper hand" and "WB had the upper hand". And Rayleigh can take a breather LOL

Inconsequential change tbh. It's implied they were his two strongest regardless.

The real noteworthy difference between translations was when WB and Roger talked about "giving it their all" they were clearly talking about treasure, nothing to do with how hard they were about to go at it. Putting the final nail in the coffin of this battle being even remotely serious, thus no need to vent on being underwhelmed by a lack of destruction.

and this

All is well in the world, for those who needed literal statements, no the power scaling has not been shifted.

Exactly
You can also look at Rayleigh's words right after the evnt unfolded "The attempt to pillage each other has become a gift exchange"

The Viz translation really redeemed Oda’s powerscaling.

Roger >= or = WB
Gaban is close to Rayleigh
Oden is a top tier
WB’s teenage DCs are way weaker than Ray and Gaban

 

[Sadistic Senpai]

LOL, Viz truly likes to turn the R to L
Roadstar island became Lodestar island, does that even make sense!?
I'll go read a pirated stolen scans better than dealing with Zolo all over again hahahaha

 

[Jackteo]

Sad day for Zoro's fans, his parallel Scopper, the one who is just a fighter in his crew, isn't even one of Roger's best men
Meanwhile San... i mean Rayleigh the VC confronts everyone like a boss

 

[Bogard]

Changes nothing. We don't need Oda to spoon feed this when the clear portrayal of Rayleigh and Scopper being the final shield to Roger already suggest he is one of Roger's best men

Roger >= or = WB

More like WB >= or = Roger

Buggy probably called Roger and WB equals because of their 3 day sparring match. If you looked at Akainu and Aokiji 3 days into their fight, they would probably look dead even.

Roger being the ultimate goal of the protagonist gives him the edge in terms of portrayal

Sad day for RoadStar Island, it got the Zolo treatment and became LoadStar island. Poor island

 

[style]

I still think he is the third strongest

 

[Sadistic Senpai]

By the way, regardless and even if Rayleigh and Scopper were his best men (which I'm sure of)
It would be fucking rude from Roger to just call it out like that and say they are the two best men on his ship LOL.

Like for us viewers, sure, we can determine, but he as a captain, he should not be saying stuff like that LOL. What a terrible captain if he was LOL.

They fought/met multiple times

Spoiler

And if we base things from this flashback alone, Whitebeard can already match Roger in pure weapon+COA/COC when we know for a fact he still has the power of the strongest paramecia(gura gura no mi) that he wasn't even using, so it's up to Roger to prove he can match that

They’ve only fought twice so far and Roger only has a year left. It’s a retcon.

WB also matched Shanks without using his DF, but Shanks is obviously way stronger than DFless Sickbeard

Exactly what I was thinking when I read the original translation. I was hoping he didn't actually say it like that. Pretty degrading for others, and really corny captain obvious statement to begin with.

Clearly not obvious enough since we still have clowns arguing that Gaban isn’t even 3rd strongest

It would show that Oda is a power scaling nerd as well who only did that for power scaling shit hahaha

This panel prove otherwise

Spoiler

It was just another boot between them with Roger himself recognizing he might die if they face

And in the final panel i choose it was after he became pirate king. We see them drinking, but we don't know what they did before drinking, so you're once again jumping to conclusions
