He stated he could have dealt with yonko BB in his prime

Prime Ray is above yonko level. I think prime ray is equal to (current shanks + additional arm) and around mihawk level if he didnt have Black blade

Ray is the first character we witness stalling an Admiral. Thats huuuge hype by pre ts standards. Not long ago he made a D clan yonko run away. Ray is one of the strongest characters ever

Subordinates/underlings will always be treated that way:luffylaugh:
incorrect
his past just didnt have story focus
oden btw was also a subordinate
lower in the hierarchy in that crew than ray
and made kaido shit the bed.



been implied now both with kizaru and blackbeard
threats would have been dealt with if he were in his prime
he gets the same sort of portrayal and old garp or wb would get and is luffy's teacher.

Ratliegh had seniority over oden. He was rogers lapdog/footrest/fluffer for years before oden joined. But while Thedarktwink was fighting toddler marco, oden was tanking pirate king attacks and clashing with worlds strongest whitebeard on wano.

Kizaru had that old lapdog wheezing after a quick jog.

He was PK's partner, and the Number 2 in his crew. He was so strong that he could fight admirals and Yonko even when he's almost 80, which is something only those who fought on par with Roger in their days of glory are capable of pulling off. He has more than enough hype going on for him

See folks, Zowo can't read. Even he understands this shit pretty well. Remember, you're worse than L-kun if you don't know this already.:risiup:

Prime Rayleigh doesn't need 'moments'. Dude was simply registered unfuckwittable.

Hell even Roger doesn't have many moments. His greatest feat is defeating Rocks which he shared with Garp. Then he nearly lost to Shiki, snuck around a bit and became Pirate King.

I'm sure Oda glossed over some huge events during the Roger Pirates' flashback as their reputation doesn't even make sense at this point. If the SHs reached Raftel today, they would've done more than the RPs did. Which makes no sense, so clearly we're missing the full picture. A full picture I doubt we'll ever see.
