WTF shiki was most definitely top tier in his time. He fought roger countless times. He,Roger,and  WB were the top 3 pirates of the era. As for rogers DF, it would make much more sense for him to have a DF than say "oh he fought against WB in his prime and garp in his prime with just raw strength". Yea theres shanks and rayleigh,and garp but roger was the pirate king. I find it hard to believe the pirate king was just natrually strong with epic haki.
