Yeah i didn't really clarify. I meant their overall role not necesarily carbon copies in terms of personality and fighting style but how they situate into the entire OPU. Mainly has to do with their relationship with Luffy or role in society.

For example Since Garp was a marine and was a sort of brother/enemy to Roger you can compare that relationship to Luffy and Smoker where they have found a mutual respect but are on opposite sides. Same thing with Coby.

Even though Smoker and Garp don't seem similar in anything their relationship with the PK is extremely similar but i feel like Luffy and Smoker have a long way to go to get to the type of trust of 'here is my son who you are supposed to kill protect him' type relationship.

You are choosing to focus on the dufferences and not focus on the similarities and i am doing the exact opposite. Though as you pointed out there are A LOT of differences.

Also just to focus on the little tidbits u threw in there.

I feel like in the series eventually Luffy or other Supernovas/Pirates would take out some of the admirals and at the end of the series Sakazuki would be overthrown because he is somewhat wacko. Therefore Coby and Smoker will be able to become Admiral and Fleet Admiral.

I also feel like another TS is almost necesary for Luffy to take on a Yonko by himself. But that is complete opinion so... no need to expand on that.
