Well, you have to think about if he was dueling with this guy that beat him at least once, and he loses one of his arms which causes Mihawk to wanna stop the duels, Shanks has to strengthen himself in some way to make up for that arm.

[@strangertalegnv]

@@DanielLopez-dv4uw whitebeard is and was stronger than roger. obviously, due to the mutual respect, friendship and pride they clashed fairly, witouth any deadly intention, whitebeard's crew and ship was right behind him and he obviously wouldn't use gura's to it's maximum like he did at marineford, which managed to CREATE TSUNAMIS WITH KILOMETERS HEIGHT, TILT THE SURFACE OF THE OCEAN AND PART THE ISLAND IN HALF while he was sick, old and heavily injured with an snitch stab, at his prime, that little island would disappear out of the map, just like enel did to his hometown, and sorry, roger wouldn't be able to do anything at that situation with only haki. remember that: Kaido's title doesn't come from the narrator, which means it isn't an absolute fact, but, no one knew about the existance of the figures above the fleet admiral's authority, much less what occupies the empty throne, the reference they had of power was: Admirals and Yonkous, Kaido > blackbeard, big mom, luffy and shanks (in a 1v1) and im pretty sure the admirals don't count to the title, which is probably refering that he's the strongest creature among the pirates, but even if, kaido could arguably be above admirals, not sure about borsalino and akainu thought, both titles are valid.

[@seven_8434]

I think the idea of raw individual power and the factors for bounties is actually what makes power levels in One piece interesting. Shanks is an emperor not simply because of his incredible power but because of his influence and territory. I think it's stated that the red hair pirates overall has the most amount of powerful members of any crew. Mihawk doesn't care about a crew or territory, he just wants to fight strong opponents. I think Mihawk being this insanely powerful individual who doesn't care about influence makes him very interesting. I do wonder one thing though which is how Mihawk would do against the other emperors. Kaido puts Shanks among Roger, Whitebeard, Oden and Rocks as a person who could actually fight him. If Mihawk is even stronger than that, that would mean Mihawk would be able to go up against Kaido. I think overall comparing Shanks and Mihawks raw individual power isn't really nuanced since characters power level in One piece isn't only based on their own power. Shanks is a way bigger threat than Mihawk because of his crew and his influence in the world, so while Mihawk may be stronger in one sense you could argue Shanks is stronger when looking at other factors.

[@FatManJackson]

Also Oda said that Shanks' crew is so balanced, every single member is on par with eachother. So basically their strength really is in their number. If Shanks was as strong as fanboys want him to be, his crew would literally have 10+ above admiral level members. That would not make any sense. We also should not forget that a PRE Devil Fruit Blackbeard fcked a two armed Shanks up.

Am sorry but marine Ford was more than enough proof for me to understand that even though Mihawk is most like the strongest swordman with the greatest sword techniques, he isent beating shanks in a death match, during the war ppl were wary of Mihawk being their, but his presence didn't make either side sure of victory or loss, the fact that he was their didn't really scare anyone, and ppl know him to be the strongest swordman. Now I don't give a dame how strong Shank's crew is, the moment this man stepped foot and dared them to come at him everyone immediately gave up, you gotta be sooo much stronger than everyone that both side didn't think they would stand a chance, even if each person in shanks crew was warlord levels that still wouldn't of stopped everyone, they would all have to be acknowledged as at least admiral level or higher and their captain would obviously be much stronger than them, am sorry but i think the only reason Mihawk has that title is because shanks never wanted it, his ambitious were much different than Mihawk.

[@strangertalegnv]

first of all, mihawk was a shichibukai, "ally" of the marines, which he just accepted because he wanted to go and test whitebeard's power at the war, the marines obviously wouldn't be scared of their appearently ally, and what the hell do you mean with "scared"? you think whitebeard and his top commanders would be SCARED of anything? Mihawk didn't use haki or a single named attack, just a swing of his sword, which btw accidentaly parted tsunamis, and with this "scared" thing, i don't get you, akainu who directly clashed with shanks unexpectedly didn't flinch, at maximum he huffed because a fight with a yonko right now would be a pain in the ass, i personally don't think shanks stopped the war only because of him and his crew's raw strength, you can see shanks stepped into mariejois and snitched on a certain pirate, with GOROSEI, that most people didn't even know about, he has some relation to the celestial dragons to be able to just step onto mariejois and talk toe to toe with goroseis like that, and that relation is probably the reason they didn't want to end a YONKO CREW WHEN THEY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY, 3 admirals, the fleet admiral, and shichibukais would destroy shanks in an all out clash, and even if shanks ""scared"" and stopped the raw because of power, it was because marineford was already damaged, and they already completed their objective with the war, kill ace and whitebeard, another heavy fight was unnecessary

The debate will never end until most people can agree on how valid titles are and what exactly they mean in OP. Most people agree that Whitebeard wasn’t the strongest man in the world at marineford but it was still his title. Some people believe that Roger was stronger than Primebeard as well. So was the title based on physical strength? And if so is Kaidos based on that as well? Because I would bet Zunisha carrying Zou for years on end would put his physical strength near the highest of the series. Personally I don’t put a lot of stock into the titles.

This is horrible. Kaido himself said it, haki transcends all. Shanks has been shown that his haki is on a different level then almost anyone in the current verse and is possibly already on par with Roger. Raw power isn't everything in One Piece. Mihawk is the better swordsman but I seriously doubt his haki is better than Shanks. Also, the fact that Oda purposefully made Shanks 1 cm taller than Mihawk is funny because it makes me think Shanks is just slightly more powerful than Mihawk overall. And I'm pretty sure Mihawk stopped dueling Shanks AFTER he lost his arm because what did it affect? Shank's swordsman ship. MIhawk's goal was to be the best swordsman, not to be the strongest man or be the KOTP, so if Shanks swordsman ship was affected after he lost his arm, there would be no reason for Mihawk to continue dueling him because he's no longer a worthy opponent for SWORDSMAN SHIP.

yeah, when mihawk and shanks dueled shaking the grand line they were actually just clashing swords without haki on them for sure mihawk teaching zoro haki as part of his swordsmanship training? no way, haki and swordsmanship are different things, it's impossible that good haki would be an important part of swordsmanship, right?

A correction. The picture you showed of the swordsmen is actually not from an official source and it was not drawn by Oda. It's a fan drawn and Oda was asked to sign it by the fan. Also, I agree with some of the comments here, where Mihawk's bounty was definitely influenced by the Cross Guild which is held as the biggest mercenary organization. On top of having the WSS title and Cross Guild affiliation, his bounty is still lower than Shanks, who has no personal title and was said to have a weak fleet. All I'm gonna say is Shanks shocked an Admiral from who knows how far and 1 shotted YC1 level character Kid and his first mate.

Here we go again the "WSS title" argument. People really think that just because you have that title automatically puts you above every sword user in the verse regardless of the story portrayals. It's a very dumb and shallow argument. Especially when the story specifically mentioned that Mihawk "Swordskills" is above Shanks and not he's stronger overall. And also the black blade argument, where he's one of the only person to have a black blade so he must be easily above every swordsmen. Like Roger, WB, Reyleigh and Shanks all these top tiers didn't have Black Blade so it's clearly more than just haki related.

Im so sorry to put it so simple... im assuming luffy will have to get stronger to fight shanks for no other reason than story line so zoro would have to surpass gear 5 which is far above the lvl hes at and top luffys new upgrade he get while facing shanks (unless he fights mihawk before luffy fights shanks which means hes stronger than luffy at one point or when luffy finally meets shanks he just stomps him) to even compete with mihawk then pass mihawk himself not possible with only one saga (without huge ts) matter fact ill make it simpler for da slow ones shanks luffys mentor/rival mihawk zoros mentor/rival plot wont allow mihawk to be better

@@bmoney3837 then who because akainu or bb just wouldn't be strong enough at that point because if Zoro can beat mihawk who is stronger than shanks means bb is far stronger than shanks or Zoro and Luffy are very close to equals which I think neither are true and I think gods knights are strong but not final villain strong I think more so a upgraded cpo kinda situation imu maybe but I think that's his dad's lane for his goal the final villain is bb or ak so as I said un likely for mihawk to be stronger the plot demands it to be shanks

It’s crZy how people fail to realize your final sentence luffy said in chapter one he wants to surpass shanks and his crew and become King of the pirates not roger not mihawk not wb shanks crew smh and then later on in recent chapters it shows shanks having rogers divine departure and then buggy saying he’s the next roger or that he was supposed to take the reigns take his place etc yet people Still can’t see that oda is writing shanks as the next roger I swear some people just don’t know how to read author intent.

[@SHADOWISTHEGOAT-e4v]

I’m gonna be debunking every single thing that the shanks fans keep on downplaying mihawk with these: Debunk No.1: "MiHaWk Is ScArEd FrOm ShAnKs 🤓🤡” How tf mihawk is scared and he fought shanks so many times? If mihawk was LEGIT scared from shanks, mihawk could've just fought shanks once and that's it, mihawk will never fight shanks ever And for all people who say that mihawk was scared from shanks when shanks lost his arm, mihawk as the WSS doesn't wanna fight someone with 1 arm and he feels a little bit pity for himself to do such thing not that he's "ScArEd" like wtf? When shanks arrived at MF, a lot of shanks fans say that mihawk was scared when shanks arrived, mihawk ONLY agreed to fight the WB pirates only and he didn't expect to fight shanks/red hair pirates and once again, mihawk left because he doesn't wanna fight a man with 1 arm that's it And it’s the perfect example of someone asking Andrew Tate if Andrew wants to fight current Mike Tyson and Andrew’s response was “no I don’t want to fight Mike Tyson because he is old and it’s pretty a shame and disrespectful to fight an old man” Debunk No. 2: "Mihawk can't cut diamond 🤓🤡" mihawk can cut diamond because as zoro’s sensei taught zoro of the pinnacle of the swordsmanship is to protect one who wishes to protect and to cut who wishes to cut and as we saw in the zoro vs daz bonez in the alabasta arc when zoro was rubbing his sword on the leaf, the leaf didn’t cut because zoro doesn’t want to cut the leaf but zoro wants to cut a rock and it worked zoro finally cuts the rock, that means mihawk was only focusing on cutting WB only and he didn’t expect Jozu to block the attack, if mihawk wants cut diamond then Jozu is dead and he will be cut Debunk No. 3: "mihawk is a vista victim 🤓🤡” Sengoku did not want his fighters and his warlords to interfere or kill the WB pirates. Mihawk didn't even care about this little exchange either, like why do you shankstards expect from mihawk? Mihawk going on full strength and shows his 100% power to a swordsman who is 100 times weaker than him?????? Let's be real here, vista was only able to "evenly match" mihawk only because mihawk wasn't even trying and he already stated of how he won't go full strength over a swordsman who is a billion times weaker than him, just like of what he did to zoro in the baratie But all of you shankstards can do is just cope Debunk No. 4: "Mihawk is scared from the yonkos 🤓🤡" People who say that mihawk is scared from the yonkos don't even understand mihawk's character The main reason he joined the cross guild was so the marines wouldn't swarm and bother him, with that in mind, why would people expect a man who just wants to have some peace to go out and fight 3 of the strongest crews in the world? His goal isn't to become the pirate king like the shanks, luffy and BB so it makes sense why he doesn't care to fight them All he's been waiting for is a swordsman that can surpass his formal rival shanks and give him a good match, if his goal was simply to fight strong people he could've done that by now like there's kaido, the admirals I mean there's plenty of people looking for smoke, we gotta understand, not everybody is the mc, some characters have to have some kind of common sense But anyways mihawk wins extreme diff, cope harder 🥱

[@shinycharizard3218]

Im a huge Mihawk fan, but I think in terms of the story Shanks is going to be stronger than Mihawk, not in terms of sword ability but just overall fighting capabilities. Because hes somewhat Luffy's end goal where as Mihawk is Zoro's end goal. And while I do find this Shonen trope very dumb, Luffy is the main character so hes gotta have a stronger goal/ opponent than Zoro who isn't the main character. I also believe Marineford is arguably one of the worst arcs to take any sort of feats from, Haki wasn't fully fleshed out yet, and the people that downplay Mihawk because of his interactions with Vista and Jozu is crazy. I feel like where we are at in the story now and after Wano, Oda has somewhat perfected fights and power levels now and we are going to see that in the last war that he said is going to make Marineford war look like nothing. Again huge Mihawk fan and would love if it turns out hes stronger than Shanks, but I just don't see it happening, I also think that the level Luffy is now, along with people like Kaido, Shanks, Mihawk and pretty much all the end game characters are just all relative in power, I think power scaling can be fun to talk about but to take it serious makes no sense because Oda can literally make anyone stronger at any point or make whoever he wants win a fight just because lol (Like Luffy beating Kaido, still salty about that one lol)

[@mightguy3118]

Shanks isn't Luffy's end goal tho. Becoming pirate king is. Sure shanks inspired Luffy and supported his dream, but directly surpassing shanks isn't Luffy's end goal and won't make him Pirate king. Shanks role in the story isn't to be top 1 in the verse. Mihawk is Zoro's direct end goal. Mihawk is the world's strongest swordsman and that's what he has going for him. The narrative and Zoro's dream requires mihawk to be the strongest Swordman. Imagine after Zoro defeats mihawk, Mihawk says "I'm not the real world's strongest swordsman shanks is" you think oda gonna do that? And I don't understand how you're the world's strongest swordsman when there's another Swordman walking around who could beat your ass in a sword fight but you're simply more "skilled" than them 💀

I’m going to just say if you think Mihawk is the strongest swordsman because of his title, then Blackbeard is the strongest character in One Piece because he has the “strongest in the world” title. This is said by Oda in the data pages and by several characters in the story literally saying Blackbeard is the strongest AND IT DOESNT SAY STRONGEST PIRATE, it says in the world. Apparently feats don’t matter compared to titles even though we know big news Morgan is the one who makes them up because he can.

I mean Blackbeard has two of the strongest devil fruits in One Piece. I don't think it's much of a stretch to say he's the strongest. Especially since one of his devil fruits nullifies other devil fruits. The problem is that the people calling him the strongest have no idea Imu even exists.
