Even with a time skip idk how Luffy would get stronger than Whitebeard. Let alone Shanks and Ace is probably stronger than him right now. I know he has Gear 5 for the people caught up I’ve seen it everywhere

But Ace probably has new powers too and Whitebeard with a time skip is probably untouchable. That’s why Luffy was fighting Kaido I’m guessing before someone like Shanks or Whitebeard. Mihawk is Zoro’s end boss but he seems super strong too

ambition and the will to chase your dreams are a huge part of what makes people strong in one piece, that’s why shanks is way stronger than he used to be, why roger made it to the top even with whitebeard around, and why luffy can compete with guys like croc (who gave up on becoming pirate king and settled for one island). don’t sleep on luffy, he’s got more fight in him than anyone else and that’s a big deal
