Despising somebody doesn't mean they are useless. And personally, I see Saturn having Kuma as a warlord as basically equal to Saturn having Kuma as a slave - one way of showing his domination of something despised.

Yeah, I can't really see most admirals having Conqueror's Haki, which is necessary to challenge the Emperors.

I thought that as well originally, but he is not holding a sword in the right arm there, he is holding a scabbard.

We don't know if Mihawk was the world's strongest swordsman back when he fought Shanks. Yet Whitebeard comments that their duels "shook the Grand Line", so he clearly respects both of their strengths. Why do you think Shanks is inferior to Blackbeard? Blackbeard scarred Shanks, yes - back when...

If you look at it, Shanks used left arm to wield sword: Which is the same arm he lost.

Zoro and Chopper, I think. It is bit in the background, but when you notice it... yeah.

Uh, I wasn't saying that Shanks is Roger's equal, I was just explaining where the idea came from. So you're preaching to the choir here. That being said, Shanks is almost certainly the strongest of current emperors. Not sure whether he was stronger than Kaido, but he was definitely well above...

I think the idea of Shanks being Roger's equal came less due to a "cool scene" and more because of what he did in that cool scene... namely, he used "Divine Departure", an attack that we first saw used by Roger himself. So there is definitely some kind of a parallel being drawn there. I just...

...considering Garp got his battleship to fly, I'm not sure I'd consider Wano impenetrable any more. Though whether there are enough people as crazy as the Monkey family is another matter.

Honestly? We don't know. The only things we have seen from Shanks so far are clashing with Oldbeard, stopping an Admiral, scaring a novice Admiral, and one-shotting Kidd. None of which requires him to be equal to Roger... but none of these examples required him to go all-out either, so he could...

There are two things to remember: 1) Wano still isn't "open" from what I remember, so getting there in the first place is incredibly difficult. 2) Luffy is officially an Emperor now, and he left his flag to Momo. So basically only another Emperor (or a navy Admiral) would even think about...

Government considers Garp a headache... and well, Sengoku did back when he was a fleet admiral albeit for a different reason. But Marines? I don't think so. I'd say even Akainu probably respects him, though that is just WMG on my part.

Zoro has conqueror's haki, I believe, as well as advanced armament. Now, I don't think that alone will be enough for him to win, but we know that haki can be used to neutralize / defend against fruit-based powers (and the Quake-Quake fruit in particular); so why do you think he would be done in...

I believe it may have been either Pokemon or Sailor Moon, back when I was a kid. But at any rate, it wouldn't be until One Piece and then Fairy Tail and D.Gray Man that I would be drawn into the anime world in general.

Knowing Luffy, Rayleigh probably told him that stuff but Luffy forgot all about it because they didn't have strong opponents for Luffy to fight beyond Rayleigh. In One Piece, training provides the foundation, but actual evolution comes from actually fighting strong opponents.
