I agree that he didn't have Star Platinum for a long time (although around 50 days may or may not be arguably enough), he did fight constantly. It's kind of similar to Johnny, who managed to learn 3 completely stronger ways to use Tusk in about 116 days. So it isn't that farfetched, although you could argue that Star Finger and Star Suck would take those positions. Also, Steel Ball Run is a decade apart, so take that for what it's worth to you.
