[Question] Do you think Roger is the strongest man in the manga timeline?

[ultraChalk]

Do you think Roger was the strongest man to ever live in OP, up to this point in history (meaning not including any future characters like EoS Luffy)? Or do you think that there are some past characters in history like Joyboy or prime Gorossei who are stronger than him?

 

[The7thHokage]

At his Era, he was the best. He made the golden pirate age, so if there were any before him equal in strength or stronger is a question that remains unanswered and probably will stay that way.

 

[Fireplay]

"Prime Gorosei" lmao. Roger was the strongest.

 

[Madarauchiwa]

nah not the strongest just top 5. he had rivals like whitebeard and harp who were equal and they came close to killing each other several times as stated by roger while talking to garp so roger wasn't number 1 and unrivaled. plus harp and sengoku weren't the top dogs back then so we can assume there were people stronger then them in the marines and that would make them stronger then roger they were just never shown.

roger was king because of his ideals and how he could gather people the way luffy does plus he wasn't a pushover. but he wasn't the strongest ever

"Prime Gorosei" lmao. Roger was the strongest.

whats so funny

 

[Forbidden Tale]

Roger and WB are strongest. Tho, Roger is probably just slightly better.

So you believe he's the strongest man in OP history to ever live?

 

[silmarill]

Maybe some people from the Ancient Kingdom (or rather they could have technology far superior) . Which allowed them to wield weapons far ahead of their time perhaps.
Take the poneglyphs for example, an indestructible material yet they were able to shape/form them and carve text into it.
But just power without any exterior force behind it I think Roger was indeed the strongest

 

[Fireplay]

whats so funny

"Prime Gorosei were PK level" Thats whats funny.

 

[daredevil123]

well i dont ever remember him losing to anyone but hey i just woke up

 

[Uzumaki Macho]

I think Joyboy, the leader of the Ancient Kingdom, might have been stronger. EoS Luffy will probably surpass Roger.

"Prime Gorosei were PK level" Thats whats funny.

All the Gorosei together can beat Roger but not one alone.

 

[Sakur]

Well if you did a ratio between roger who was king of the largest and harshest sea to joy boy who was king of th3 largest and probably wildest kingdom I think joy boy was similar or perhaps even stonger considering what someone above stated they had far bettdr tech.
And to me think luffy in the end won't be compared to roger but to joyboy.

Wow, some of You guys keep saying "Gorosei this, Gorosei that" with the utmost of confidence when Oda hasn't said anything regarding them.

Anyways, my point is that the Gorosei aren't PK level. Individually, hell no. I doubt they can even beat an admiral. Together, we don't know. Oda hasn't said anything about them.

The leaders of an organization are always the strongest in OP. So all 5 of them together should be the strongest force in the WG. RA<VA<Admiral<Fleet Admiral<Commander In Chief<Gorosei. It wouldn't make any sense for the pattern to just stop at the Gorosei. I would guess that an individual Gorosei is admiral level.

 

[xanonymosx]

imagining prime WB strenghth its hard to say there is some one besid roger can match him , most of people belive roger is sligtly stronger so yeah he was the strongest

That's not true

Was Spandam stronger than the cp9 he ordered around?
Was Sengoku stronger than Akainu or any other admiral at that time in MF?
Did Akainu suddenly become stronger after he was given the title Fleet Admiral?
Then there is also Garp... a VA
In Arabasta Kohza was the leader of the rebel organization yet he was a mere fodder.
Same for King's of countires take King of Alabasta as an example
Buggy is captain of a crew that has many people stronger than him

Sengoku was stronger than Akainu. Akainu is currently Fleet Admiral level. Everyone in that group was fodder, for all we know Kohza was the strongest amongst them. The kings don't count, they got that position because they were born first in the royal family, not because of strength. The Gorosei have to be strong or else the WG would have been destroyed by the yonkous and Dragon. Garp and Spandam so far have been the only exceptions in OP.

Why was Sengoku stronger than Akainu exactly?
so the minute Sengoku his title was revoked and it became Akainu's Sengoku suddenly got weaker than Akainu? -.-
<fleet admiral level is same as Admiral , u think there is a power boost given when u sign the contract to become one

 

[Sweet Pudding]

Is he not the Six Paths of One Piece?

Akainu was high admiral level Pre TS. He became FA level over the TS. Akainu as Fleet Admiral was still stronger than any of the three Admirals and probably weaker than Kong. When Akainu beat Aokiji and became Fleet Admiral he was greater than Kizaru and Aokiji, who were admirals so the pattern still follows.
