Roger had rivals because he was one of many aspiring to be PK.
Luffy has Nika's fruit--by design, he has no rivals. Even more so, he's the third coming of Nika, poised to correct where both the original Nika and JoyBoy fucked up, so Luffy will have no one even close to reaching his level by EOS.

It's the other way around,no one wanted or knew about the idea of pirate king before roger made it a thing
 
People are trying to make comparisons between the Supernovas and Roger's rivals and greatest nemesises when there's none or at best superficial similarities between them. None of the Supernovas are actual rivals to Luffy.
They’re clearly rivals though, Oda has always used that dynamic. Law’s bounty is always on par with Luffy’s with every major update — his final bounty will be in the 5B range (same as Ope ope). Luffy only really got ahead in Wano since he received 2 major powerups. Kidd and Law will catch up, even Zoro and Sanji will catch up.

The script just flipped, this is Kidd and Law’s Sabaody. They will rapidly progress power-wise for the final war.

Ofc feat-wise, Luffy will still look ahead but portrayal is portrayal. BM was supposedly a rival to Roger and more or less on par with Kaido. There’s no feats that backs that up but you can’t deny her portrayal.

PK and one piece thing started after Roger became one.

Before it I assume it was just pirates doing pirate things and competing with each other and trying to be on top to rule the seas.


Roger ushered the PK era so rivals are more in numbers now as everyone wants to have one piece.


Having that said, no supernova would actually rival (in truest form )Luffy for PK. It sucks oda didn't build on it after teasing in Sabody and is making everyone an ally - directly or indirectly.

But that doesn't mean Luffy doesn't have any rival..he has and oda made it bluntly clear about this one again and again - Marshal D. Teach

And, no one else fits - not shanks, not Buggy and not Kidd or other pirates.

Not really Luffy has been having the royal treatment compared to the other Supernovas with far more many and better feats, him defeating Doflamingo, several Yonko Commanders, being called a Yonko by the press and public, defeating Kaido and being far stronger, having his own fleet of allies and countries under his official protection and even being the messiah/god of One Piece.

Law and Kid being rivals is just marketing, at best they are just other allies to Luffy. And they have nothing in common with Whitebeard and Shiki anyway in terms of personality, goals, and crew's numbers and power.

And I wouldn't bring Big Mom's portrayal up because of how abysmal and disastrous of a job Oda has done of portraying and treating her in the second half of WCI and even worse during Wano arc, save for her clash with Kaido.
