The story of One Piece is the story of the rise of two captains, Luffy and Blackbeard, and their crews. Blackbeard is a blatant evil Whitebeard, their epithets should give that away. And he’s looking to have a large dash of Rocks as well, making him a combination of Roger’s two major rivals
For the Marines, there’s Coby and Smoker, and we’ll just have to see what Oda does when he reintroduces them. Smoker has acted more like Garp throughout the series, but Coby came first and is obviosuly being built up for something.
Kid is a failure as a rival. He’s never fought against Luffy, only alongside him, his crew is, Killer excepted, garbage, and what little achievements he have pales alongside Luffy. He’s like the typical Shonen Rival who gets beaten by the hero, starts working alongside them and ends up completely overshadowed. Like Renji in Bleach. Or Gaara or Neji. Except Kid doesn’t even have the period where he was a legit opponent to Luffy the way those guys were.

We kinda got a hint what major pirates in the new generation represent compared to Roger Era pirates with Rocks pirates reveal, I even think WG vs Rocks pirates will happen
with that being said I think :
Luffy is Roger
Law is Shiki
Kidd is Captain John
Drake is Silver Axe
Kaido is Zolo
BB is either Rocks or WB
I think even the Mid generation who are mostly Shichibukai each have a counterpart that can be compared to Old and New generation

So many wrong answers to a question with such an obvious fucking answer.
Kidd is Luffy’s rival. Blackbeard is his arch nemesis. Move on. Their relationship dynamic, their parallels, and the fact that they have the same ambition all put together makes it very obvious. Characters in the show have already called Luffy and Kidd rivals. Queen even says to Luffy in Udon something like, “Why do you want to save him? Is it because you’re rivals battling it out in the same generation?”
