Roger bestowed the title upon Whitebeard? That doesn't make sense though because Roger was Whitebeard's equal, and thus Whitebeard wasn't the strongest when Roger was alive (they were equals). No, after Roger's death, the title was transferred to Whitebeard by default because no one else proved to be Roger's exact equal.

Speaking of titles, I've always been interested in Rayleigh's title "Dark King". Perhaps the "dark" is indicative of him being under Roger's shadow throughout his pirate career.

When Whitebeard was first introduced, we had no information about his combat abilities whatsoever. Then came the war at Marineford, and we found out he possessed the destructive quake ability. This may also be the case when we find out more about Roger in due time. If he wasn't a DF user, I won't be surprised in the slightest seeing as how it's very possible to reach the top through sheer haki mastery.

Maybe, but "Dark King" was subber translation from "Mei-O" 冥王, it's Japanese (and Chinese) way of referring to Pluto/Hades. While 冥's primary meaning is darkness and night, it's secondary meaning is death and afterlife. We know Roger's crew kills, maybe it also means that Rayleigh is extremely good at that....

Dragon creating that lightning strike to save Luffy's life from execution is speculation. What we do know is that he created that massive green gust of wind that swept aside Smoker and everyone else like nothing. But yes, I'm rather curious about Dragon myself as well. He's guaranteed to be ridiculously powerful.

WB isn't stronger than Garp, Sengoku and Kong pre skip.Titles are overrated in the manga. Let's take two examples. Mihawk who has the title who should be superior to every swordsman in the OP universe had to post pone his fight with Vista. Sentomaru who bragged about having the best defense in the world has little feats and if he really does he would have the durability of Prime Whitebeard.

Roger isn't stronger than Rayleigh. WB isn't stronger than Sengoku, Kong and Garp because if he was he would defeat them. There is very little info about these characters and how exactly the age was but WB isn't stronger than those 3. |

------ It's interesting seeing how well Smoker is faring against Vergo. That just reinforces the notion that Doflamingo and his goons shouldn't be that far ahead of the strawhats in terms of strength (if they even are, which is beginning to become questionable). Monet really doesn't stand a chance against Zoro; she even outright stated she was no match for Luffy, so by extension that should equate to Zoro as well.
