We know Roger and Whitebeard had Oden on their ship. However Roger knew how to read poneglyphs himself so we can assume he didn't need Oden for that, so Oden's benefit to him is unknown.

I think strength and finding Raftel are part and parcel but the latter is probably more important since Whitebeard wasn't considered Pirate King even though he was the strongest after Roger died.
Oden was interested in the Poneglyph nevertheless, and Roger acquiring Oden stops others from competing.
Well, only the Road Poneglyphs are absolute require to get to Raftel. The Road Poneglyphs lead to the 9 Poneglyphs which reveal the history of the world.
You can acquire a translator in advance before acquiring a Poneglyph. Whitebeard may have needed Oden, but it doesn't require having a Poneglyph initially to still need Oden. Acquiring Oden with or without a Poneglyph still puts him in a good position.
Eh? That's not a contradiction. Oden was on their ships because he had interest in Poneglyhs. These were people looking to get to Raftel.
So, you're saying that the fact Yonko still Poneglyph from each other is not proof enough that they're trying to be Pirate King?
I don't know if time is a concept you understand. He did things consistent with the goal until Roger became King and he then lost interest.
Oden's benefit to Roger was to minimize competition? Right. I genuinely laughed out loud. Couldn't reach as far as this man if I tried.
Lol, laughing at the fact that it does achieve that when there aren't any people able to read the Poneglyphs? That's like saying 1+1=2, and finding that funny, lol.
Read between the lines, lol. Actions speak as explicit as words, just have to be able to comprehend it. Not everything needs be explicitly stated unless one is incapable of reading between the lines.

The country of Ohara were studying poneglyphs for centuries and some were actually travelling looking for them. But I've long realized you weren't too clever and argue with your fingers in your ears. Was fun for a while though.
Lol, and you haven't said anything clever or truthful.
Then they were studying it for decades. Point is they were studying it and there were some actively looking for it, meaning this 'laughing at the fact that it does achieve that when there aren't any people able to read the Poneglyph' is wrong. But this is just an example of how you miss points because you aren't too clever. So it's usually interesting to me whenever you try super hard. But anyway I did say I was done before and if experience talking to you has taught me anything, it's that you have to get the last word as all children must so I bow out.Lol, and you haven't said anything clever or truthful.
Also, that's a lie lol. They weren't studying it for centuries, otherwise, they'd have been wiped out centuries ago. Good one buddy.
The people of Ohara had no idea what they were looking for was related to One Piece, thus the fact Robin is surprised that Roger had interest in them.
If the people of Ohara knew it was related to One Piece, Robin would have known too because she had all the information Ohara had regarding Poneglyphs. Again, you only use fallacies and lies.
Lol, so you've gone from centuries to decades, quite the jump.
Ah, that's why you said:
A lot of fallacies and inconsistent things that don't line up with the Manga. I guess you are very intelligent for spewing things that aren't true, lol.
I'd disagree. Buggy is weak, but even he could become pirate king because of how strong his crew is, and if Buggy's sneaky enough to get to the Poneglyphs OR somehow learn where Raftel is and get there. Strength wouldn't be important if there weren't strong people standing in the way of pirates who want to get to Raftel, whereas Raftel is important as nearly every single character says or implies that to become pirate king, one must get there.
Didn't Robin's flashback indicate the Ohara scholars were studying Poneglyphs for decades? Or was that the Void Century? Either way, one of the scholars brought up decades, if not centuries of work being destroyed by the fire, if I recall correctly.
True, Buggy gets carried by his crew pretty hard so theoretically it's possible for him to be pirate king if all the stars align in his favor. As far as we know, strength is useful but might not really be bible scripture. In the case of Luffy though, I honestly think he's gonna be the strongest to maintain the reputation of pirate king but who he fights is debatable. I think he's gonna fight Kaidou with some of the supernova and is only gonna solo BB then the WG to be pirate king.
Yep, and his crew is likely formidable as even Whitebeard preferred to ally with Buggy, and the World Government made Buggy a shichibukai. It's not necessarily impossible for Buggy to become pirate king, and whether or not the world thinks he's strong (I doubt they will), they'd still consider him pirate king, as he's the captain.
