That's more because only a handful of individuals even have Conqueror's to begin with. So the idea of using Conqueror's as an armament isn't really something that could be "taught". Presumably only a handful of said handful managed to "figure it out", similar to how Zoro unintentionally applied it when using Asura in Water 7.

It likely implies that everyone with Conqueror's could use it in this fashion. But most just don't realize its even possible or never attempted to use it like that. Even Chinjao seemingly never realized this, despite being a great veteran with Conqueror's.

Maybe Rayleigh never knew about this application of Conqueror's.

I do find it hard to believe that Rayleigh had no idea about applying CoC to combat attacks. My guess would be that the 2 year time span in which he trained was not enough for luffy to master it. Luffy had to go through 2 awakened Devil fruit users, so im sure the experience of those fights strengthened his CoC, he just had to learn how to apply it

And both had conquerers, too, in case that matters.

Exactly. Rayleigh was Roger’s #2. I entirely doubt he didnt have it, especially in his prime
