We all made a huge mistake. Over the years we misinterpreted Mihawk's vivre card. Oda told us years ago Mihawk is the strongest in name and reality. He was not just talking about among swordsman. Oda was just saying Mihawk is a swordmaster.
All of this can be proven by correctly interpreting his vivre card.
Mihawk's vivre card tells us he trained for years and challenge more and more powerful foes until there is no worthy challenges left. It doesn't say anything about Mihawk only challenging swordsman. Fans including myself, are the ones who stated Mihawk only fought swordsman. That is not supported.
That explains why not all of Zoro's opponents are swordsman. Zoro is the character we are following on the path to become the WSS. Mihawk is the man who sits at the top of all of the world's strongest.
This should finally end the "Shanks is stronger" nonsense. At this time, it's irrelevant you fans want to acknowledge Shanks as a swordsman. Either way he's weaker. Mihawk wants to face a challenger who is stronger than Shanks, who's a swordsman. That tells us Mihawk prefers to face swordsman not that he only face swordsman.
This doesn't take away from WB. He was the strongest in the world during his prime, but that is no longer the case. Mihawk is now the strongest. Since Mihawk has become the strongest there haven't been another character, secret or unknown who is stronger than him. That explains why Oda didn't say WB or Kaido are the strongest in name and reality for them. Instead, he only said that for Mihawk.
