@Nuel1024 If it were another shonen, I'd agree. But this is One Piece, one of the simplest power systems ever, with an author who's too afraid to commit and keeps portraying characters as “equals”: Roger, Garp, Whitebeard, Rocks, Harald, Mihawk, Shanks etc
@Qaiyum_Mat@_ManuAmaro@WorstGenHQ@Silvers3211 Mihawk vs. Luffy is a confrontation where it's clear that fate saves Luffy from his Black Blade, as Mihawk himself points out. But yeah it's hard to explain that to someone who thinks Vista or Crocodile are as strong as Mihawk
@_ManuAmaro@WorstGenHQ@Silvers3211 The assumption is that they were equals, since neither could defeat the other, with minimal differences in Haki or swordsmanship
@OP_goat_ You’re confusing two different things. Mihawk having superior swordsmanship doesn't mean their duels were decided by swordsmanship alone. And nothing about that proves WSS is a skill-only title. It's a matter of reading comprehension
@latu2050 Exactly! The moment he starts causing earthquakes powerful enough to "destroy the world", everyone will associate him with the title of the World's Strongest Man.
@WorstGenHQ massive upscale for Mihawk
It's an established fact that Mihawk is the WSS, with swordsmanship superior to Shanks
So what is "settling things"? SET WHAT?
this isn't about "swordsmanship". We already know Mihawk is superior in that regard. It's about their overall abilities.
