Questions & Mysteries How strong was Shiki?

[L57]

As a swordsman where do you rank him?
He got 2 named blades that are probably rank 21 like oden s had
He had a flying fruit which is almost useless
I d say he s stronger than Shanks and is 2nd best swordsman

[soheilhazrat]

Around ray's level

 

[MonsterKaido]

In general he was portrayed as a top tier and a lesser rival to Roger compared to someone like WB.

Yonko level probably.

 

[nik87]

Weaker than Shanks, imo.
Stronger than Fujitora tho.

 

[zenox]

Above admirals but below skysplitters tier

 

[Yoho]

Prime Shiki was around YC1

 

[SkySanji]

Above Mihawk and below Shanks

 

[Lor D. Coast]

Old Ray, Shanks level.

 

[El Pekor]

Stronger than Big Mom weaker than Whitebeard, Shanks probably took his Yonko spot.

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Around Primebeard and Roger

 

[SakazOuki]

Above the rat and posthawk

He might be if somebody who could beat Akainu actually existed


Shiki has more balls than the middle gen pirates combined

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

We don’t know much about him. Presumably on par with someone like Linlin

 

[MarineHQ]

Shiki ~ Prime Sengoku ~ Prime Ray

In current timeline above Linlin, Teach and arguably Shanks/Mihawk

I guess in his prime he was yonko level. Roger was PK, WB is worthy rival and he was at least a step below but still recognized by Roger and WB somewhat (more so by Garp and Sengoku who fought him 2 vs 1, even if it was for sure just to make the fight last less)(and to hype him in Strong world).

As for yonkos... BM is imo the best bet. Shanks is probably the Roger of the mid gen, Kaido as well get crazy hype, maybe he could be a challenger for Roger or WB but when Shiki faced Roger (and even outnumbered him by a lot) he lost decisively.. so BM imo is the closest one. Guys like Wan xi, captain John, Silver axe and so on seem to be at least a tiny step below him and so below yonko tier (or at least it seems so).

 

[TheKnightOfTheSea]

Prime Shiki was around YC1

Weaker than Primebeard, but roughly onpar with the Yonko

 

[Shiroyru]

Akainu is the same guy that was scared of scabbards and shanks

Even as bait these things don’t work on Akainu
Mihawk however, oh man. We can write a book on how his pussy ass avoids confrontation lol
