I think peoples reading comprehension also affects the power scaling. Harald clearly lets Loki kill him. Loki dealt massive damage which gave Harald his mind back and Loki was able to kill him in that moment.

When Roger and Garp beat Rocks, Roger said something about increasing the mass of their haki. I think Lokj being a giant already has incredible conquerors Haki mass.

I think we have seen the strongest. You make good Mihawk points, but the story of one peice has revealed all the players at this point. With Imu Davy Jones and Joy Boy, Id say now we are just waiting to see what the history is.

I also doubt Shanks will fight Luffy. Blackbeard is on the table Shanks has a twin and a dad..Shanks has too many options for his final fight.

Greg or.. Xebec just dies young. Everyone pretty much maintains there rankings except Kaido who was a kid at God Valley. Roger becomes King of the Pirates, but not on his strength alone. He is equals with Garp and very closely edges Whitebeard. We dont see an immense powerup. He even has the same named finisher attacks.
