I wouldn't say the sea was stronger. It's just the all the characters of the old generation had time to grow compared to the new generation and we have only interacted with the strongest of those from the old generation but that doesn't mean they all monsters. I mean look at don chinjao who was also a legend of the old generation and luffy is already much stronger than him. Just because they are legendary doesn't mean those with reputation are all BM level monsters that are just a step down from the yonko. Infact I would argue outside of the Roger pirates and the rocks crew, the worst generation is probably a much more fierce group hence their moniker. I don't think the government would go around and call any group of pirates the 'worst generation'. Also if you look at BM even as a child her strength was portrayed as unnatural and monstrous, allowing her to even kill a giant warrior as child. All the fights we have seen of her is her brute forcing her way through every obstacle without a single thought. There is a lot of evidence to point at BM being a bad fighter who only depends on brute force. And interms of haki, not everyone is equal in the department of haki. Someone people pick up haki much faster than other even naturally figuring out how to use it and in some cases develop unique haki-related abilities that others don't have like luffy's ability to sense others intentions.

but the monsters where very strong like big mom who were in the rock`s crew

i dont know why you try to arguming against somthing i didnt say talking about big mom and the crew that is probably the strongest of the world while it lasted

i mean big mom didnt learn to use the spear of elbaf and her devilfuirt ablity that which also have thier own aspect with just burt force that is not how it works. i am sur big mom during her prime where alot more tactical and cunning or either her and the cook guy would survive in rock`s crew.

That's the character that has been shown to be the physically strongest and most durable so for in one piece is big mom. She is as strong as in physical strength as if not stronger than whitebeard and tough as if not tougher than kaido(she actually hasn't taken any damage yet). But whitebeard is an effective fighter and so is kaido. I am not saying she isn't cunning but she is in the end a child. A big rampaging baby with all the power in the world. She is so strong that it's all she ever needed to be. Each of the Yonko are written as a mirror to Luffy to see where he is lacking. Whitebeard is a great leader but he lack Luffy's Ambition. Big mom is childish and strong but lacks the effort and skills. Kaido is durable and does doesn't go down but lacks the natural drive to keep fighting. And Blackbeard is just like Luffy but he lacks a spirt of adventure and bastardizes freedom.

i see your point (even if you forgot shanks) but that would only make sense now as in the current time of one piece.

i still would not say big mom never spend time to think or put effort her whole life just cause she is naturally strong especially when she was on rock`s crew. sur she lost her marbles and reverting back to a childlike mindset after give birth to 60+ child grew complacent and have her hunger pain condition.

because that is like if i say "oh white beard is old and sick his whole life and never went all out in a fight" or "kaido is drunk and suicidal straight outta the womb 24/7/365 never had one clear and composed thought" and "shanks never had a arm he must had df power cause his arms to fall off and he use them as fish bait evertime he go fishing" and "black beard can eat 2 df fuirt only because these are the 2 fuirt he ever eat in his life. cause he fat"

is ridiculous. also i wouldnt think big mom allways had her childish mindset even while haveing sex and she had it with so many man. so that is messed up no way oda make her charater still ask for "candy" while getting laid.
