Yeah, if Luke has that kind of reaction, those sheets must be quite literally the stuff of legends.

Wait... How did they not make it into the finals? That underlines the scale of the setting and campaign nicely.

Part of why they didn't make it was because they got a draw, due to running into each other- thus inspiring this set up in story.

It was amazing that they fought to a constant draw so much but it probably hurt their score

This contest being mentioned was the same one that created the Shichibukai, sans Mihawk. I’d say Dorry and Broggy are a bit less than someone like Kuma or Doflamingo. I wonder who else might have been created by this contest?
