First of all a clarification for those who don't know what the UGP is:

Usopp Gallery Pirates (ウソップギャラリー海賊団, Usopp Garari Kaizokudan?) is a special tankōbon feature, introduced in Volume 5, that publishes select One Piece fan-art with "commentary" from Usopp.[1]

The galleries are usually found at the end of each volume, though on occasion they may be used to intersperse chapters in place of an SBS column. Like the SBS, each one features a header drawn by Eiichiro Oda; these usually depict Usopp posing in some outlandish costume.
So as you can see it's a column that comes in manga volumes, in the exact way of SBS.

UGP announcement was made at the end of volume 4:


The image that I posted before was from the UGP inserted in the interspace after the chapter 708 in volume 71.

So what's special about this gallery?
Well as you can see there is an art that depicts both Zoro and Rayleigh.

And do you how Oda commented it?
Well, this is the raw text, this is the title that Oda gave to that art:
船長のカゲとなり、 一味を支えるNo.2!!

Which roughly translates to:
No.2 to become the captain's shadow and support the crew

Bro, deal with it, stop this mindfuckery.
It's a shonen manga, the strongest is the captain, the second strongest is the vice and his right hand.
Nothing more nothing less.

No seniority, no age, no attitudes, nothing... only power matters.



- The next will OBVIOUSLY be Katakuri!
- No, we operate on seniority...
- NONSENSE! POWER IS ALL THAT MATTERS!

Katakuri, not Perospero.
Power matters to be captain or vice captain, not age, seniority, roles, attitudes and what not.
Plus the cover with all the number twos , aka the second right after their captains, in both power and command. In that cover Oda did put Katakuri, not Perospero.
There's literally nothing more to say.
It goes for Katakuri, it goes for King, for Zoro, for all of these characters.
Zoro fan : Perospero
Sanji fan : Daifuku
 
If Luffy were to appoint an official VC, it would be Zoro no questions asked. He’s the 2nd strongest and a great leader.

I don’t think we’ll ever see him claim the title or attempt to pull rank though, that’s not how the SH operate.

End this thread.

Luckily, almost everyone voted for Zoro, who ID now officially confirmed as the number two, the 2nd strongest, the vice captain, the first mate or whatever you want to call the one who is by far the strongest right after the captain.

The 1031 cover killed every headcanon.
Whoever denies that Rayleigh, Ben, Zoro, King, Katakuri, Marco, Killer, Bepo, Sabo and Shiryu are the strongest right after their captains/bosses is denying blatant canon evidence, at this point.
What else do you want?

Official account of the One Piece staff textually talks about 2nd Strongest Members which means First Mates/2nds in Command.

Raw text and literal translation:

明日11/8(月)発売の「#週刊少年ジャンプ」49号は『ONE PIECE』が巻頭カラー!✨
今回も制作過程動画が、尾田っちから届いたぞ!

今回は海賊団や革命軍の〝No.2〟が勢ぞろい!? ラフの変化にもご注目!
完成イラストは明日発売の「週刊少年ジャンプ」をチェックしてね!

"ONE PIECE" is the first color of "#Weekly Shonen Jump" No. 49, which will be released tomorrow on November 8th (Monday)! ✨
This time too, the production process video has arrived from Oda!


This time, the "No. 2" of the Pirates and the Revolutionary Army are lined up !? Also pay attention to the changes in the rough!
Check out "Weekly Shonen Jump" to be released tomorrow for the completed illustrations!

THAT IS. TOTALLY AGREE. I mean, it was already evident before, but now there is the cover with the numbers 2, confirmed by the official account of OP. Now the discussion no longer makes sense to continue, those who continue to deny it have blinders or do not want to accept the reality of the facts

2nd strongest doesn't mean VC, Shiryu is 2nd strongest BB pirate but he isn't the VC, Burgess is. The same happens with Pica and Trebol, that's why even being weak in comparison with Zoro, Sanji etc. Ussop is the real VC, also no one else wanted to be captain aside from him. Let's debate!
Wrong. Burgess isn't the vice-captain. It has never been said, and the fact that Shiryuu is among the number 2, confirms that Burgess is not Teach's vice-captain. Indeed, the fact that has already been "" defeated "" "" suggests that Oda wanted to leave the better / more important members (like Shiryuu) for the end.
