What I enjoy about this Fandom is that whenever Oda starts to Focus on a Character's Hype, they jump on it and automatically shit on all other Characters
He started with WB and he tried to hype him as Strongest, once he was done with him, he started non-stop hype of Kaidou who was also treated as Strongest ever
Now it's Shanks turn and as always most Fandom will start putting him as Top 3 cuz he is Portrayed as Strongest
But when will u learn? Oda is still reserving Hype of actual Strongest Swordsman for later, and after that he still got Hype of Worst Criminal ever and ofc we will have EOS BB and Imu
But aside from those Two, it's obvious that Strongest in World are:
Sick Yonko (WB) < Fresh Yonko (Kaido) < Haki God (Shanks) < Strongest Swordsman (Mihawk) < Worst Criminal (Dragon) < Final Villains (BB and Imu maybe)
It's just a Hype Train with multiple stops, each one got their time to shine
