Possibilty sure exist. But way more likely (at the moment) is 'WB is stronger'.People say this like it's not possible. Besides, this was said by Buggy. For all we know, Buggy never saw Roger and Garp fight, but witnessed Roger and Whitebeard fight.
It's also nearly not possible for Buggy not to witnessed Roger and Garp's fight (even less likely than above said). Buggy was already on the ship during battle with Shiki, at that time Garp and Roger already knew each other. Roger got title 'pirate king' after his battle with Shiki, and I doubt Garp never cornered Roger, during his time of "conquering" the New World.
Kong was FA. Sengoku was Admiral at that time (I think?) and Garp was VC (didn't want to go higher).well at the time the admiral trio wasn't that strong the 3 greats were kong,sengoku and garp and only garp is confirmed to be able to go head to head with roger.
I would say that Admiral trio at that time was stronger than Color trio, or current.
Sengoku is the guy who was rival to Shiki. Shiki without a doubt was one of the top 3 pirates in the world. Quality of pirates should also be greater back than, considering that WB in his old age was still considered strongest man in the world and therefore strongest than current Yonkos (at least at the time of MF), imagine his power in prime, then Roger who was his equal and Shiki who was likely not far behind them. Possible these tree pirates at their prime was stronger than current Yonkos. So marines top dogs should also be strongest then currents (thinking about Garp and Sengoku, Kong is unknown to us) like Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji, Fujitora etc.
We don't know how much powerful other two admirals at that time were, but I think it's same to assume that they were at least around Fujitora's level.
Why not? If I remember correctly both Senogku and Garp left in Strong World.the marines ain't sending all of their strongest fighters after roger they would just send 1 or it was garp himself who just kept catching up with roger and fighting him.
Garp alone haven't even got to catch Straw Hat Pirates. I really doubt he went alone or without a backup.
If that's true, then Garp would never been close to killing Roger. And Roger would never been close to killing Garp, since his crew saved his ass every time.so even if roger was defeated he would have a strong crew including rayleigh to back him up so garp couldn't have been able to capture him even if he defeated roger
It's not really okay, to say that he wasn't very intelligent because of that.and also shiki wasn't shown to be very intelligent?(seeing how he went up against garp and sengoku togather)so his words might or were from the frustation of him being weaker then roger and not achiving his own goals.since when did shiki and buggy's crap talk became more relavent then the last heart to heart conversation the pirate king had with a trusted person.
"the two of us have neary killed each other so many times"-gold d roger
so fak shiki and fak buggy
Roger never run from fight, if so he is not very intelligent himself, so you should say fak Roger, when quoting him.
Then it seems Kong (and other high marines) doesn't really care about other marines and their families.As someone said above, they most likely double teamed him to reduce the damage to Marineford. It seems that people don't realize that the Marines and their families live at Marineford and it was evacuated for the war. Shiki surprised them there, so the citizens were probably still there.
I am pretty sure if Shiki fought with his rival and Garp (man who in that case should be stronger) half of Marineford wouldn't be destroyed.
