Yep but there is no World best doctor, world best navigator etc
Swordman title seems to be recognized as something to compete for. Something you need to chase other swordmen to beat them and settle yourself as the best.
So yeah having Mihawk, Zoro as challenger and no one else to compete is a bit lame.
Is there a better Cartographer than the one who Draws World Map?
Better Doctor than the one who can heal any & every Disease?
If someone Draws World Map before Nami or someone discovers All Healing Cure before Chopper, doesn't it mean their Dreams got lost?
So ofc there is Competition, i can't believe you just said this
And last sentence sounds biased tbh cuz i can literally say the same thing about Roger
The Title Luffy is aiming for was held by only one person & no matter what Pirate you defeat or Surpass, they won't call you Pirate King
It's only reserved for those who manage same Feat as Roger alone, but i wouldn't call it lame, you guys only do it with Mihawk
Actually there was a WSS in the Past, but there wasn't a Pirate King before Roger, so according to your Logic
Pirate King is more Lame than WSS cuz you have only one person's legacy only to reach
Anyway i don't believe this, this is your Logic & dunno why you said it
Are you saying that all Straw Hats Dreams are Amazing except Zoro's? You don't find this a Biased Opinion?
Yeah but the manga is about pirate king, accomplishments, being free, having straw hats etc. So Roger is the top dog and superior to Mihawk. Black blade or not.
Mihawk can’t beat Roger.
See, this is your Problem, you translate everything to Power Levels
What does Story Themes got to do with Power Levels?
Even Luffy doesn't agree with you cuz he didn't Promise Shanks that he will become Strongest or Stronger than him
He said instead "I will gather a Crew even greater than yours"
And you should pay more attention cuz Pirate King isn't Luffy's Ultimate Dream
Actually everyone says they wanna be Pirate King, it's very generic Dream & there are countless people who actively chase it
The Dream that sets Luffy apart from others & no one dares mention except him (Similar to All Blue, Nami's Dream, Chopper's, Zoro's ... etc)
Is the one he said to Ace & Sabo + Roger also mentioned to WB & Oden
One Piece & Pirate King are simply what connects everyone, it's a shared Dream for everyone
The Straw Hats are literally putting their Dreams on hold just for sake of finding One Piece first (For example Brook could have travelled back & met Laboon during 2 Years but he didn't)
It's not the Title of Pirate King that makes you The Best, it's most Hyped Title because of the Journey required to get there.
For other Straw Hats Dreams, even though the Goal is near Impossible, it's at least not as Dangerous as becoming Pirate King, cuz you can simply Study Non-Stop or Travel Peacefully or Train Non-Stop, but Pirate King requires you to face all world Dangers non-stop, hence why Mihawk said that Luffy's Journey gonna be tougher than surpassing him
But again, dunno why you relate Power with Pirate King, even the People don't believe that
Mont d'Or believes that even Pirate King cannot escape Totto Land but he believes Big Mom can destroy all of it & no one can stop her
Did he say Roger wasn't Pirate King? Ofc not, but it shows that just having such Title doesn't mean they start to see you as Strongest.
You're definitely considered for such Position, but it's not a given
But Mihawk's Title is purely Power Centric, there is nothing else about him, there are no Poneglyphs to collect, no Crews to face, no people to Recruit, no Alliances, no Marines, no Islands to explore ... etc Just become as Powerful as you possibly can
And Oda even showed us that Mihawk doesn't care about Swordsmen only when he was shown taking an interest in Luffy too
The guy is all about "Power", nothing else
Everyone is knowing who Roger is. His shadow looms quite larger than Mihawk one.
Dragon title is more known too.
Roger is known as the Pirate who conquered Grand Line & found One Piece (Which people believe to be Greatest Treasure World has to Offer)
Dragon is known as the Leader of Revos who directly oppose World Government, the guy is literally mentioned in a Levely of Top 150 Kingdoms of the World
They are Famous for their Actions which are World Changing
But how did Garp introduce Yonko? He said they are Four Most Powerful Pirates who control part of New World as if they are Emperors
So "Power" is what makes them Famous, the same thing that Mihawk is "Solely" known for
So if both Yonko & WSS are Titles given due to how Powerful they are, then it's obvious the More Powerful One is the More Famous One
And that is WSS
Roger & Dragon are more Famous than both (Not sure about Dragon though), but it's not based on Power, at least it's not the Main Point.
Actually no one believes Roger is stronger than Whitebeard
As i said before, Mont d'Or doesn't believe that Roger's Title makes him stronger than his Mother
I assure you there is no Fan who believes EOS Blackbeard gonna be weaker than Roger (Who equals WB)
And Kaidou is more famous for his Power than Roger was
So even Yonko have more Power Hype than Roger, so please stop translating every Title into Power Levels
Yonko, Roger, Mihawk, Dragon ... etc are all up there as the Best, i don't mind if any Fan says any of them is No. 1 even if it's Big Mom
But i hate when Fans completely agree Straw Hats are Best Dreamers, their Goals are Near-Impossible & almost shared by none
However when it comes to Zoro & Mihawk, they completely dismiss those Rules & become Biased & De-Hype them
Whitebeard died with his Left Eye gone, his Death was hyped by his Untouched Back & how much he accepts to endure Damage
You think it's coincidence that Zoro is One-Eyed? (Oda confirmed that he decided on this even before Chapter 1)
You think it's coincidence Zoro is obsessed with not letting his Back get hurt? He did it against Mihawk, Kuma & Kaidou for example
You think it's coincidence Oda made Zoro have that "Nothing Happened" Moment? or Hakai? or How many times he hurt himself?
Luffy gonna surpass Roger, while Zoro gonna surpass Whitebeard
So Oda created for them even Two Greater Duo & they are Shanks & Mihawk
Shanks have more Special CoC than Roger & his Crew is Stronger
While Mihawk is Strongest Fighter you could ever find
