I liked Ohara's take on why he was titled the dark king, "that he was seen as the king in roger's shadow. almost as powerful, almost as dangerous, but since Roger was the one who shone the brightest, Rayleigh was the dark king." he very well had the power and prestige to be the pirate king himself if he wanted to after roger disbanded the crew, but ultimately his dream ended when roger passed, and so he retired.

Rayleigh really did embody what jimba said at whole cake "I plan on being on the king of the pirates crew, I can't be intimidated by a mere emperor of the sea"
Literally from day one my interpretation of the epithet was that he was the other side of the pirate king. Honestly it never once crossed my mind that everyone else hadn’t already realized that.
3:11 Teach is a Yonko sure. But it makes sense he’s still afraid of Rayleigh. Because even Blackbeard, one of the four emperors has to acknowledge. The Dark King trained the other three.
I know the truth of why Raleigh uses multiple swords and has no black blade. He is farming black blades. At the end of the series, at the final showdown, Rayleigh will appear with a barrel full of maxed out swords that he will give out to every Straw Hat Grand Fleet sword user.
You should honestly make a video on the timeline of the Strawhats Journey, give a rough estimate on how long the straw hats been together and how long each arc actually took
If you take into account the estimated time that Vegapunk gave for Kuma's and Bonney's modifications and surgeries and time to recovery, plus when Bonney set sail, it would be 5 or 6 months at best. It was probably September in the One Piece world when Vegapunk gave the estimation, then 6 months passed for Bonney's surgery, so it would be March. Another year for her until she could be under the sun. 6 months passed and now it's September 1st which is Bonney's birthday. Another 6 months pass and now it's March which is when Vegapunk said she can go out. She sets sail 2 months before Luffy did when he turned 17 on May 5. 4 years ago, when it was probably September, Vegapunk said that Kuma's modifications would take at least 2 years. If you take all that into account, the Pre-Timeskip probably took 5 to 6 months.
It's always a pleasure watching your videos. Not simply because I like the subject, but because you're so likable. Your sheer love of what you do shows, and it's infectious.
The way I always understood Rayleigh's title was that he was the "Dark Horse" of the Roger pirates. That because of his bounty Roger was the one everyone thought was the one to watch out for, but that Rayleigh was Roger's equal, two different sides of the same coin. The only difference was Roger had a dream, and Rayleigh supported his dream. However, as I'm writing this. What if Rayleigh got the title as he was the one that filled the vacuum Roger left after his execution? This is a bit out there, but maybe?
Isn't it said in the story that Rayleigh just went into hiding/retirement? I thought the Roger Pirates slipped away into the shadows, while Roger was the only one that let himself get caught.
@@PichNuts yup, it’s why the 2nd theory is out there with little to support. But, I could see Rayleigh quashing some upstart pirates that tried to cross him at the start of the Great Pirates Era
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the possibility that Raleigh could have actually been a king of a country. Something along the lines of how Kuma got his Tyrant King epitaph. This was well thought out either way! Great job !
Thank you for the video. I always enjoy watching your videos. I like the idea of Rayleigh being called the Dark King because he was staying in Rogers shadow. That gave him a good position to help & watch over Roger while letting Roger shine.
Maybe it's like the deal with Sasuke and Naruto, where Naruto is the Kage, but Sasuke is talked about as the "Kage in the shadows". Basically one that's on par with the one king, but operates behind the scenes.
Yeah, I mean from what we’ve seen there’s nothing to suggest that Rayleigh wasn’t as strong as the others like Roger and what not. The only thing that may be holding him back is his position and status as the right hand.
@@femthingevelyn That would be funny, but if even the king of the pirates has an actual number on the wanted poster, I doubt that it's the case. Something worth considering is that Rayleigh's bounty might actually be higher than Roger's, because that's the case with the Cross Guild. Garp literally said that trying to capture Rayleigh is not worth it because they'd need to mobilise everyone. Speaking of the Cross Guild, the marines actually went after Mihawk, so do they think that Mihawk is weaker than an 80 years old Rayleigh? Honestly, Mihawk might not even have joined the Cross Guild if the marines didn't go after him. He was just kind of relaxing on his island.
@@r4nd0mguy99 I don't think mohawk necessarily registers to the world government as weak, I think Rayleigh's position as someone the world government isn't going after isn't purely because of his strength, it's also because it's not worth hunting him down in a populated area constantly filled with world nobles that would have to be fussed over because he's not actually doing anything, just drinking himself to death, acting as a shipwright, and selling himself into slavery every now and then. Mihawk on the other hand is a threat to their governance as a whole that everybody and their mother knows about, and was televised just 2 years ago as someone fighting for the world government. If they let him off the hook and don't try and chase him down, it comes off as an endorsement of an active pirate who made his name hunting Marines. Mihawk has also probably grown stronger since he got the title of warlord,
Really love Rayleigh. During his prime pirate days I got him in the top 5 of that era. Essentially why I never liked the Oden narrative of fans believing they were on the same level. Oda to me clearly has displayed Rayleigh as more of a pivotal figure both pirate wise and strength wise .
Shaka plus rayleigh strongest 100 times , Alone Rayleigh he is good age up he is getting weaker , Roger incurable disease , Dark Horse , The king of the jungle Tiger above all the sky . ADV Duo dual fight Roger plus rayleigh together become a the Ragnarök of the skies . now new duo dual fighter with rayleigh shaka 1,000 times stronger , with roger rayleigh 10,000 times stronger luffy gear 4 is 5,500 times stronger , luffy gear 4 with ryo 7,551 times stronger and luffy gear 5 the child son of the sun god rises to max 11,110 times strongest at all the times.
I think it'd be cool if his title was in reference to his usage and skill with Haki. Kind of like how Black Baldes and Black Arm Zephyr got their names as well.
I think it’s definitely just that Roger was the the pirate king and Rayleigh being the man behind him, his right hand maybe didn’t get as much of the attention compared to Roger and so he was in the shadows relatively but he was still a monster to go up against
I always figured he just picked the swords up and or stole them as he was going somewhere. Not like there is a shortage of swords in the world and who could stop him. He would is also like many high level characters where he enjoys toying with his opponents, like blocking Marco with a finger. He is basically running a randomizer challenge.
I always took his title as a reference that he is the strongest pirate in the world until the New Pirate King arrived and brought the Dawn. Until the New Dawn arrives, he’s the King, the vice captain of the Roger pirates, who previously claimed the One Piece 🤷♀️🏴☠️🌅
I dont know if it was intentional but something I've always enjoyed about his epithet being dark king is how oxidized silver has this dark almost black chrome look to it when jewelry is left untreated long enough paralleling how when we meet him he's this unkempt drunkard in prison not keeping himself polished like he was on Roger's crew
On armament haki: I am reminded of the game Overlord. In the game you can sacrifice your minions to upgrade your weapons & armor (there are 4 colors: brown, red, green & blue), with each color boosting a different stat. If you ONLY sacrifice brown ones to your armor, you become near-indestructible (as the brown minions upgrade your armor's Defense stat); likewise, they also create the strongest weapons, as they boost a weapon's raw Damage stat. (Back to video: I'm certain that, while the haki is part of it, Rayleigh's title of Dark King comes from him being the 2nd in command to Roger while also being a terrifying badass himself.
So I walk out of the room because I heard my oven beep and forgot to pause the video and when I returned I just heard "Maybe Luffy doesn't get all the bananas" - Tekking101
Agreed. I had hoped he would join the cast, we haven't had a new member in quite a while. But maybe he'll come back someday, after all we know how OP Barry himself is, as seen with his display of power during the Admiral and Officers video on the Navy, and it's very possible that OP power is genetic, which means even being dead and buried will not stop Barry's Ddad from rising again.
Idk why but after hearing "rayleigh did everything and is bored" i imagined him walking up to the navy base and asking them for a job just to see their reaction
The "best generation" refers to those born between around 1900 and 1925, also called "the greatest generation." They lived through the Great Depression and many of them fought in World War 2. The term was popularized by Tom Brokaw in his 1998 book "The Greatest Generation."
Bronze is an alloy consisting primarily of copper, commonly with about 12-12.5% tin and often with the addition of other metals (including aluminium, manganese, nickel, or zinc) and sometimes non-metals, such as phosphorus, or metalloids such as arsenic or silicon.
I feel like he is secretly violent and liked it ~ like a combo of Robin and zoro ~ luffy isn’t evil or willing to kill but Zoro and Robin is ~ he’s probably dark asf and probably got a kick out of toying with his pray back in the day
Bronze is an alloy of cassiterite tin ore with copper. It's a rare mineral that happened to be in certain parts of the early civilization nexus, so the entire bronze age occured because rng left tin ore in a few crucial spots.
It's also interesting considering the most well kneon myth of Hades involving his wife, the Dread Queen Persephone, who is the daughter of Demeter aka the plant goddess who didnt want her getting married. And Shaky is a Kuja, who all happen to have plant/flower based names.
There's also the theming idea of Luffy's top commanders; Zoro, Sanji, and Jinbe, representing the Earth, Sky, and Sea. The Hades/King of Hell connection makes even more sense.
I think something like what happened Kuma and his epithet. Rayleigh went to conquerer some land for Roger / free it from tyranny or something along these lines.
I think Katakuri mentioned "Color of Arms" it felt like it implied there were levels to armament haki. And his were a blue tint as luffy's was plain black
Hi Early Squad 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 I loved the guy from the episode in Shaki’s Bar so I’m happy to see more about him! Thanks for the new video Tekking and hug your furbabies all 🎊💙🐱💙🎊
Maybe Rayleigh hits and cuts stuff so hard that the light just up and gets blown away, creating darkness? Maybe the light stops touching him? Or his Haki is so strong that everything he uses changes into a high grade Black Blade very soon after he gets to using it?
Personally I always liked to believe he is named "the dark King" because as the second in comand he stands in Rogers shadow, BUT he very well could be the head of any high class organisation because of his insane strenght. As well as the fact that Roger seems a lot like Luffy, making decisions out of the blue while Rayleigh is more calculated pulling the strings in Rogers shadow, making him the Dark King.
Maoh is a pretty common title for JRPG final bosses, like the older dragon quest games. The same "ma" kanji is used in Sukuna's Malevolent Shine in JJK, which is Fukuma Mizushi in Japanese
What if the reason is that Rayleigh can do the full body vulcanization on the inside of his body instead of the outside making his enemies think he's unguarded but isn't.
Question for everybody: if Oda confirms that Luffy will 100% become king of pirates, would you be angry because spoilers, or its so obvious that you dont care?
15:33, remember Mihawk and Zoro in beginning. Thats what happened.(forget old age) Mihawk took out another sword because most are too weak for him and that pissed off Zoro more.
Great video man 📹 Question, think you'll do a video on future of Wapol, potentially in Neo Mads/ Cross Guild since he's now wanted by WG and produce powerful weapons with WapoMetal or other new alloys
Wasnt Luffys reason for becoming pirate king to be the most free person there is? What if Luffy just rejects being Pirate King because being just Luffy gives him more freedom than being Pirate King would? Just being Pirate King put a huge target on Ace, finding the Pirate Kings treasure is one of the most important things the WG doesnt want to happen. Luffy could do it like Mihawk and Crocodile did, just without it being calculated, and let Buggy have the spotlight so he can enjoy life in the shadows
19:20 I prefer to go the same way as the Ancient Weapons for this. We have Unraus, Poseidon and Pluton. We assume Uranus is -what was used to wipe Lulusia- [What's a Lulusia? that place never existed] a flying weapon, because Uranus was a Sky God. Then you have Poseidon, a mermaid princess under the water, as Poseidon is the god of the Sea. Finally Pluton. The weapon is a ship, so sea again, but it travels at surface level, and it's the one that can interact with land. It's a seafaring vessel because if it was circumscript to land it couldn't leave the island where it was created, but it represents the underworld, Pluto (not to mix with the other Roman God Pluto, god of riches and abundance), Hades. If we want to assign them elements, Uranus would be air, Poseidon would be water, and Pluton would be earth. Now let's think of the Strawhats. Let's take Luffy away from the equation for a minute, who are the heavy hitters in the crew. Zoro, Sanji and Jinbe. Zoro, son of Terra, that means Earth. Sanji, son of Sora, that means Sky. Jinbe, known as "First Son of the Sea". Zoro is Pluton, or Hades, Sanji is Uranus, Jinbe is Poseidon, while Luffy is the Sun
I liken hardening as like the base stat of armament. You use it first, then you can add the other types of armament to add different effects, but hardening is like the base stat. You can be strong enough to punch apart amountain with just hardening, but its just easier if you can use ryuo to break through the natural resilience of the mountain and destroy it from the inside. You wouldn't need to have as high a level of basic hardening.
I feel like the reason he doesn’t use his sword from his time with the Roger Pirates is because either it’s too strong to use now or that he swung that blade only for Roger and the crew
Not my theory but I heard it somewhere that maybe Rayleigh was a king or to be king of a distant land but fled from his duty or ran away from being king and thus made him a deserter king . Not sure of the proper term.
I had a thought relating to the idea of “Dark King” and “Ruler of Hell” being related to the shadow of their captain. This could be similar to how Zoro acted on Whiskey Peak and Luffy acted on Sky Island. Luffy is constantly out in the light fighting the big bosses and literal Gods, but Zoro fights in the dark and deals with the sneakier and ‘weaker’ opponents. I assume Roger would have been very similar to Luffy in this manner, but we don’t know for sure. I don’t know how credible this could be, but it feels like a common trend with the Straw Hats to have Luffy fight the big battle that gets the news stories while Zoro cuts down enemies and gets regarded as a sort of rumor because of the mystery.
Wasnt it stated that the Black Color Haki is just to visualize for the viewers. So in the One Piece world its like invisible? If so the Blackblades should be black?

Because even Blackbeard, one of the four emperors has to acknowledge. The Dark King trained the other three.
That immense training Buggy has had, he's still hiding it like the true GOAT.
Rayleigh is like snoop dog. He's just doing side quests at this point and the cops can't arrest him even though he has done well known illegal stuff.
I know the truth of why Raleigh uses multiple swords and has no black blade. He is farming black blades. At the end of the series, at the final showdown, Rayleigh will appear with a barrel full of maxed out swords that he will give out to every Straw Hat Grand Fleet sword user.
You should honestly make a video on the timeline of the Strawhats Journey, give a rough estimate on how long the straw hats been together and how long each arc actually took
I was also thinking tekking should make something like that
I think he touched this topic a few times. The straw hats didn't spend that much time on the sea (minus the time skip) which is crazy
If you take into account the estimated time that Vegapunk gave for Kuma's and Bonney's modifications and surgeries and time to recovery, plus when Bonney set sail, it would be 5 or 6 months at best.

Regarding the difference between copper and bronze, Bronze is actually an alloy of copper and tin.
bronze doesn't necessarily contain tin, arsenic was also used historically (not anymore for obvious reasons).

Great video and explanation of armament, I have a way better understanding now
Fuck yeah I loved him since his introduction in sabaody archipelago
I wonder if, when he pulls the "my face darkens and my eyes glow red with bloodlust," his beard makes it look like a skull
Hi Early Squad 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 I loved the guy from the episode in Shaki’s Bar so I’m happy to see more about him!
Thanks for the new video Tekking and hug your furbabies all 🎊💙🐱💙🎊
I'm pretty sure the dark king title was in reference to the fact that he's Roger's shadow. The shadow of the pirate king being the dark king.
I am going on a family trip from Cali to Vegas at the of January, do you want me to pass something to Papa Brick?
0:35 Wow the look at Barry's face
Bronze is an alloy of Copper (Cu) and Tin (Sn) in an 88:12 ratio
16:00 If the old ship is correct, he'll have Tashigi's entire collection of Meito blades to bust out
Maybe Rayleigh hits and cuts stuff so hard that the light just up and gets blown away, creating darkness? Maybe the light stops touching him?
Or his Haki is so strong that everything he uses changes into a high grade Black Blade very soon after he gets to using it?
Personally I always liked to believe he is named "the dark King" because as the second in comand he stands in Rogers shadow, BUT he very well could be the head of any high class organisation because of his insane strenght. As well as the fact that Roger seems a lot like Luffy, making decisions out of the blue while Rayleigh is more calculated pulling the strings in Rogers shadow, making him the Dark King.
That's an awesome Christmas present
Maoh is a pretty common title for JRPG final bosses, like the older dragon quest games. The same "ma" kanji is used in Sukuna's Malevolent Shine in JJK, which is Fukuma Mizushi in Japanese
I like the idea that he got the Dark King title because he was the shadow of the Pirate King.
What if the reason is that Rayleigh can do the full body vulcanization on the inside of his body instead of the outside making his enemies think he's unguarded but isn't.
Please don't be the next UA-camr to retire embrace becoming a super cyborg
Question for everybody: if Oda confirms that Luffy will 100% become king of pirates, would you be angry because spoilers, or its so obvious that you dont care?
15:33, remember Mihawk and Zoro in beginning. Thats what happened.(forget old age) Mihawk took out another sword because most are too weak for him and that pissed off Zoro more.
Great video man 📹 Question, think you'll do a video on future of Wapol, potentially in Neo Mads/ Cross Guild since he's now wanted by WG and produce powerful weapons with WapoMetal or other new alloys
A Collab with Trekking and his mom would be great
16:43 technically there is a video game/anime human character who uses six swords name masamune data in samurai warriors
Wasnt Luffys reason for becoming pirate king to be the most free person there is?
What if Luffy just rejects being Pirate King because being just Luffy gives him more freedom than being Pirate King would?
Just being Pirate King put a huge target on Ace, finding the Pirate Kings treasure is one of the most important things the WG doesnt want to happen. Luffy could do it like Mihawk and Crocodile did, just without it being calculated, and let Buggy have the spotlight so he can enjoy life in the shadows
19:20 I prefer to go the same way as the Ancient Weapons for this. We have Unraus, Poseidon and Pluton. We assume Uranus is -what was used to wipe Lulusia- [What's a Lulusia? that place never existed] a flying weapon, because Uranus was a Sky God. Then you have Poseidon, a mermaid princess under the water, as Poseidon is the god of the Sea. Finally Pluton. The weapon is a ship, so sea again, but it travels at surface level, and it's the one that can interact with land. It's a seafaring vessel because if it was circumscript to land it couldn't leave the island where it was created, but it represents the underworld, Pluto (not to mix with the other Roman God Pluto, god of riches and abundance), Hades. If we want to assign them elements, Uranus would be air, Poseidon would be water, and Pluton would be earth. Now let's think of the Strawhats. Let's take Luffy away from the equation for a minute, who are the heavy hitters in the crew. Zoro, Sanji and Jinbe. Zoro, son of Terra, that means Earth. Sanji, son of Sora, that means Sky. Jinbe, known as "First Son of the Sea". Zoro is Pluton, or Hades, Sanji is Uranus, Jinbe is Poseidon, while Luffy is the Sun
11:50 bro really used his master ball on a pidgey
That's an awesome Christmas present 😁😁
I liken hardening as like the base stat of armament. You use it first, then you can add the other types of armament to add different effects, but hardening is like the base stat. You can be strong enough to punch apart amountain with just hardening, but its just easier if you can use ryuo to break through the natural resilience of the mountain and destroy it from the inside. You wouldn't need to have as high a level of basic hardening.
I feel like the reason he doesn’t use his sword from his time with the Roger Pirates is because either it’s too strong to use now or that he swung that blade only for Roger and the crew
Hey, we got great weather in Vegas right now. Lol😂
Daaamn... Barry's dad really went out to get some cement..
Im stsrting to think everytime oda has writers block hes like "ok break next week.. were gonna watch these tekking videos"
0:14 nah you definitely send papa barry to belize
Anyway, Tekking look like saul goodman right, or os ot just me ?
Not my theory but I heard it somewhere that maybe Rayleigh was a king or to be king of a distant land but fled from his duty or ran away from being king and thus made him a deserter king . Not sure of the proper term.
I had a thought relating to the idea of “Dark King” and “Ruler of Hell” being related to the shadow of their captain. This could be similar to how Zoro acted on Whiskey Peak and Luffy acted on Sky Island. Luffy is constantly out in the light fighting the big bosses and literal Gods, but Zoro fights in the dark and deals with the sneakier and ‘weaker’ opponents. I assume Roger would have been very similar to Luffy in this manner, but we don’t know for sure. I don’t know how credible this could be, but it feels like a common trend with the Straw Hats to have Luffy fight the big battle that gets the news stories while Zoro cuts down enemies and gets regarded as a sort of rumor because of the mystery.
Wasnt it stated that the Black Color Haki is just to visualize for the viewers. So in the One Piece world its like invisible? If so the Blackblades should be black?
I like the fan art where Zoro holds 6 swords between his knuckles, 3 on each hand 🏴☠️
