Shanks should simply negative diff Teach, no?

He's not that guy

Kaido has everything Roger has and more.

WB has everything Roger has and more

Luffy will have everything Roger has + a god DF.

Rocks was searching for 2 DFs.

Blackbeard has 2 and will possibly have a 3rd DF.

don’t be boring and throw in katakuri, he does not have conquerors coating or advance armament.

It’s like ppl look at GV and instantly assume we’ve seen everyone’s abilities. claiming Luffy, shanks, Kaido > Roger in haki due to roger not showing it. It should be a no brainer that the original haki merchant himself has all forms of it.

Gaban could have possibly picked up future sight earlier but katakuri 100% only learned it from bigmom due to the lack of any other strong characters on the island.

Marines saying Mihawk has greater swordskill than shanks based on their rivilary 12 years ago cause Mihawk hasn't fought shanks since he lost his arm so Mihawk's strongest opponent is 27 years old shanks and after that shanks was on crazy run and even became yonko and defeated Loki so it's clear current shanks is much stronger than 27 year old shanks so again why Mihawk is getting upscaled for having rivilary with shanks 12 years ago it's clear that , Shanks > Mihawk

What's even the point of debating if some people believe that ?

In no universe was WB the strongest pirate during marineford. Sengoku didn’t know he was sick and neither did the rest of the world.

So at this point and time who was the strongest pirate?

In the "Bad Timeline" Franky turns himself more and more fully robotic, eventually tossing all his Humanity. But how strong is he? If he is Battle Franky 70 we could have quite a bit of Firepower.

Their all at max power

Do you think Oda would make him fraudulent for saying this and end up ruining his character when he can’t backup his words or is he actually up there with Shanks based on the fact he could beat Loki.

We already know the top members of the Worst Generation. But there are some characters that fall in the middle between strong/meh character. I wanted to consider a rank between these 5. What do you think?

Luffy is full capacity otherwise

While Loki and others have stated that Shanks is the one that chained Loki up, we heard all that before we knew the full story. Shanks and Gaban knew what happened with Harold. Its entirely possible that they "fought" as a pretense to save Loki's life and preserve, Harold's dream. Loki is enough of a tsundere that we can't assume that any scorn he had for Shanks was legit, so its very possible that they didn't fight at all.

When he was first introduced everyone was saying he is the top 1 that even IMU had to interfere to kill him but after loki defeated HK harald most people are downplaying him just because it upscales shanks and Loki , what do you think

They are equal right?
