Why Mihawk (maybe) Is The Strongest

Mihawks backstory is gonna be crazy. I’m actually really curious how he’s managed to maintain the title of Worlds Strongest Swordsman without even having a crew

His crew wouldn't be the strongest swordsman. Zoro isn't going to be stro gest because of the crew

Mihawk has never fought Shanks the Yonko so saying he’s stronger is just funny to me. People forget about timestamp or try to ignore it.

[@CrescentMoonboi]

@@Ax1oM11oo Bro you can say the Data books don't mean anything or whatever, but they quiet LITERALLY state that he is the World's Strongest Swordsman, not only in name, but in actuality. This includes Shanks, and at least any other living Swordsman. It's not like Whitebeard or Kaido's title, it is as close as you can get to official confirmation. You can't really argue with that without being biased towards Shanks or something.

[@Ax1oM11oo]

@@CrescentMoonboi Yeah, he’s definitely the world strongest swordsman but people make it sound like he’s the world strongest pirate. Also just like how WB wasn’t the strongest pirate at Marineford, I wanna know who exactly you Mihawk won against and how long ago for him to claim that title. People like Aokiji, Kizaru, Fujitora are all swordsmen. Has he fought any of those currently? Will he really win? Same with shanks. He fought shanks before shanks even met Luffy for the first time, that’s over a decade ago. Can he actually win if he fights this Yonko shanks right now? We really don’t know….

[@nikjovan4816]

Thank you for this video! People ask me why Mihawk is stronger than Shanks? But the question should be why isn't he(narratively)? There is nothing that prohibits Mihawk from being stronger than Shanks. It doesn't go against statements, it doesn't mess up the story. Sure, currently Shanks has the better feats, but Oda also still hasn't focused on Mihawk as he has recently been doing with Shanks. He is still saving him. And for good reason.

[@mstr293]

NOthing that prohibits Shanks being stronger than him either. Mihawk wankers like to point out at Shanks being a swordsman but let's not forget that Shanks is denied a challenge just because he's missing a limb while accepting a far weaker pre-ts Zoro. This means that he isn't considered a "worthy" due to his handicap. This also answers the question if Zoro will have to fight Shanks even if he's stronger? No, for the same reason as Mihawk.

[@Muffin11262]

@@mstr293nothing? As the commenter literally said, it wouldn’t go according to the statements, hype and all the narrative support. Just bcz mihawk didn’t fight shanks bcz of HIS morals and honour, what makes u think zoro will also not fight him bcz of the same reason?

You all like to twist everything to suit your delusional narratives lol.

[@debbythespacechicken]

Mihawk sought out Shanks, not the other way around. Shanks swordskill is so prominent that even being younger Mihawk still took notice and he wasn't disappointed. Shanks never care about the title but all of you cares about it so much. Shanks without any second thought, gave up his dominant arm for Luffy. Even with just one arm Shanks still is the gauge the Marines used to scale Mihawk's swordskill. Being handicap makes him an unworthy opponent in a duel, but doesn't mean he is under him. Title is given to someone who worked for it. I'm not saying the title is useless, but Shanks is beyond of just a swordsman, he's a Yonko now.

[@Muffin11262]

@@debbythespacechicken title is given to someone who deserves it, whether they work for it or not. Luffy didn’t care about becoming an emperor, yet got the title of yonko. WB just wanted a family, now he had a headache bcz of the “world’s strongest man” title. Buggy just wanted to live, then first became a warlord and later an emperor. So shanks not getting the title is solely bcz he’s not more worthy than mihawk bcz of the power difference.

Mihawk the only person in one piece with a permanent black blade so I agree and the government scared of him and pirates 😂

[@Ardie_06]

Imagine if Zoro defeats Mihawk by slashing through Yoru. It's been metioned that it's practicly unbreakable and with this feat Zoro would be finaly considered as the strongest swordsman who can cut anything

[@biggimmicke]

That manga panel you shared for Mihawk referencing the “distance” between WB and Mihawk does not say “the distance seems rather short.” On the wsj app it says “i just want to measure the distance between us and that man” meaning the slash was a test and the answer is Jozu. WB did not lift a finger or move a muscle to block that attack bc he KNEW his son was watching for him. Thats the difference between WB and Mihawk the Lone Swordsman. Great video still! I agree Mihawk is likely the strongest, non-Imu character alive, with only a slight possibility of BB surpassing him w bs DF hax

[@biggimmicke]

Another correction, Kaido’s haissaikai is not called a meito, it is called a “legendary weapon” by Oda, which is not the same thing. Hassaikai does not have a rank (位列, iretsu?), though if Kaidou were to leave the weapon behind, it would be called a "legend" Not that big a deal just adding it in

[@zagessj]

The Viz/WSJ app translations at times aren’t accurate and the one on the screen for the Mihawk sensing WB moment is more accurate. The interpretation of Jozu or WBP being the answer is fine but the point of what Mihawk was questioning was about Whitebeard’s power in contrast to everyone else.

[@zagessj]

Haissaikai is listed as an ungraded weapon just like Law’s Kikoku in the Road to Laughtale booklet so it is a Meito we just don’t know the rank.

[@GIVEPROOFKID]

This what exactly what mihawk said "I want to test the distance between that man and us who seem to be right infront of us" meaning he was referring to actually distance

A naginata is a polearm but it is also a sword. It literally was a sword mounted on a pole to give it longer reach when fighting calvary. It is made with the same technique as a katana and in later periods they would trim the hilt to make wakizashi (short swords). The name naginata literally translates to “mowing down sword”. White beard is a swordsman whether you like it or not.

Then that would mean that King is a swordsman because he has a sword, right? No, he isn't a swordsman because he doesn't use his sword alongside his abilities, he only uses it in specific situations, same with Whitebeard.

[@mstr293]

What I hate about the "World's Strongest" monickers, is that fanboys seem to be taking this as an absolute. Or at least the title holder somehow has a huge gap of power as let's say the "2nd strongest". Mihawk fans are the most guilty in this bias. Followed by WB and lastly, Kaido fans. In reality, even they have rivals that could potentially rival or even exceed them in power.

[@mstr293]

I like Shanks better but I personally think that both him and Mihawk are still rivals in overall combat capabilities and will have a 50/50 odds of winning for both sides.

[@Muffin11262]

But doesn’t it literally say “in name and actuality”?

[@mstr293]

@@Muffin11262 Vivre card also says that Vista rivals Mihawk in swordsmanship, the same guy who can't even bring down Akainu even with Marco. That doesn't mean that he's stronger than the Yonko, and the other legendary Pirates and Marines. Again, the "World's Strongest Man" has somebody who rivals his power in the name of Roger. Shanks only got stronger despite losing an arm from hereon and only a delusional moron would actually believe that he can't take the fight vs Mihawk at an extreme diff level. Even if if it's "in name and actuality", he's most likely not above rivals like Shanks by a landslide. As Mihawk is not the only monster in the OP world. Aside from Shanks, monsters like Whitebeard, Rayleigh, Garp, Big Mom are still around despite their old age. Kaido's also a monster with the "World's Strongest" monicker, Luffy who just got a divine power, Black Beard who keeps getting stronger devil fruits and even the Admirals are not some chumps to scoff at. I swear to fking god, people only takes these statements from the Vivre Cards or the Ace Novels seriously as long as it suits their biases.

[@mstr293]

@@Muffin11262 The question now is that is "Strongest Swordsman" the "Strongest Fighter in One Piece"? Again, your dude denied a STRONGER Shanks challenging him to actually settle this argument but accepted a WEAKER pre-ts Zoro. In combat sports, we call that "ducking fights" and "weight bullies".

[@Muffin11262]

@@mstr293 I agree shanks isn’t pushing mihawk below extreme diff. All top tiers are pushing each other to high-extreme. I never said that, stop putting words in my mouth. I think mihawk made it crystal clear he wouldn’t want to fight and win/lose against a person who has a handicap. Remind me zoro’s handicap again? I don’t think mihawk could’ve made it more clear by stating he doesn’t wanna fight a man with one arm. Correct me if I am wrong, zoro definitely had 2 arms pre ts. The deep blue databook made it clear by saying he has equal skills as mihawk “in this fight”. This is clearly AND explicitly talking about in this fight alone. The fight where mihawk made it clear he wasn’t interested in fighting vista and was actually focused on luffy. U literally see him looking at luffy while vista was clashing with him.

[@azuresaiyan9005]

Rayleigh says he hadn’t picked up his sword in a long time. It’s reasonable to suggest he hasn’t used it since the Roger Pirates disbanded. And unlike Sengoku or Garp, Rayleigh wasn’t active at all as a pirate or fighter.

I agree with everything except was Mihawk said about WB, "measure he distance between us and that man" is not Mihawk saying WB is no longer he world's strongest. It has clear implications he is testing how strong the Worlds Strongest Man is because he doesn't know. No one knew about WB weakening until they saw him with all his medical equipment and medication.

[@zagessj]

I never said Mihawk said WB wasn’t the worlds strongest only that he’s not what he used to be as in he fell off compared to his prime. WB didn’t pull up the Marineford with his medical equipment so Mihawk just sense the difference in strength in strength being less than he expected from the man once rivalled Roger.

Nobody cares about being a swordsman except Zoro and Mihawk and maybe vista that’s it. If Roger or Whitebeard ( who had a stronger title then Mihawk or shanks or Kaido r big mom or Luffy had the ambition to be the best swordsman then Mihawk would not be the worlds greatest swordman. That’s it. Being the strongest swordman doesn’t mean your the strongest in a fight. It was explained during the egghead arc that Mihawk has more skills that’s it. It ain’t zoros story it’s luffy.
