I had a brain aneurysm tryna understand this not gon lie to you
But if you don't understand the joke behind it.
Saint Shanks is a swordsman who is less-skilled but stronger than the strongest swordsman.
- Saint Shanks is less-skilled than Mihawk. (Chapter statement but uses "skill" definition proposed by the fandom and not the manga)
- Saint Shanks is stronger than Mihawk. (Fan claim)
- Mihawk is the strongest swordsman. (One Piece statement)
These 4 things cannot all be true.
The correct statement: Saint Shanks is a swordsman who is weaker at swordsmanship than Mihawk, the strongest swordsman.
So for all intents and purposes, Mihawk is stronger than Saint Shanks.
