So becoming Pirate King is about individual strength? 
Powers & Abilities Black Blade is a Haki Feat (Most Likely)

It's not about whether Pirate King is about individual strenght or not.. It's about Mihawk making it an individual strength reference and comparison.. You can't make the part where Mihawk's talking on the Pirate King path relevant and the part where he's speaking about surpassing himself irrelevant.. The entire goal of the statement is to make an accurate comparison that works, not one that doesn't.. It's ridiculous..
Black Blade is Permanent Hardening.
Anyone who knows Hardening, can learn to Harden their Blade,
But such Hardening/Black Blade will only stay Active as long as They keep their Haki Active & are in Contact with their Blade
Permanent Hardening means you make your Blade attached to a Haki Source that is "Always" Active & in Contact with Blade,
Something that Stays even after User's Death & can be Found "Anywhere", that's literally The World itself.
This is why Mihawk said "Know The World!" and "Take your Will, use it to Surpass My Blade".
I believe that Haki is like Shadows in Thriller Bark, They serve as another Version of you created from Absence of something.
Shadows are where Light doesn't reach, so i believe the reason Living Beings or anyone with a Will have Haki is because Haki is created from Absence of World's Will/Spirit
It's like People's Will act as a Barrier just like their Bodies act as one against Sunlight, creating Haki similar to how Shadows are created.
Obviously, Greater your Will, Greater your Resistance to World's Spirit, Greater your Haki. But no matter how Strong you get, it will always be Limited Potential, you must manually use that Haki & keep it Active whenever you wanna use any Technique
But just like there is DF Awakening, where you become One with your DF in Body & Mind, there should be a Haki Awakening, where you become one with the World (It's basically Sage Mode from Naruto and it's very common Concept in many other Fantasy Stories)
This Awakening allows these Haki Masters to have Infinite Reserves of Haki cuz They are using World's Energy, just like a DF User can use their Powers forever, cuz DFs are like Mini-Worlds and work as Infinite Energy Sources for their Particular Powers
By learning this, Zoro & Luffy won't have Limited Haki/Stamina anymore (For example, imagine if Roger's Haki was Limited, how can He match WB for many Days? cuz when both their Haki run out, WB would still have his DF, it's obvious that Best Haki Users don't suffer from such Weakness that Luffy especially still struggles with & Zoro also to some extent)
However, a Blade Blade is equivalent of making the World itself use Hardening on your Blade, hence why even after Death it remains so, and such Feat requires you to bend the World to your Will, not just be part of it, meaning it cannot be something that many can do, if multiple people are doing it then their Wills are going against each other's, hence why only One Person can sit on Throne for each Haki Technique
The World will only grant One Person "Permanent Hardening" or "Permanent Barrier" or "Permanent Internal Destruction" or "Permanent Future Sight" ... etc
So only One Blade Blade can be forged at a time, it represents World's Blade, it's like the World is a Ship & you're it's Main Swordsman/Vice Captain (Since it's Zoro's Part of Story)

At no point have any of the Yonko had more than 1 or 2. There’s been a stalemate between them for years until Luffy changed that. Individual strength is a huge factor. Kaido also acknowledged that when it came Roger. For someone who respect strength above all why would he praise Rogers power?

The problem with permanent hardening is that then all BB attacks should affect DF users for which we have no canon material, if this was true Monet should be dead by Daishinkan
That is a very weak conclusion. As far as we know WB had one RP (the one that is missing which was probably in FI in the Roger flashback) and WB never chased OP. BM had one and Kaido had one while the Zou one was also hidden and unknown. Lets see how each RP was attained by Roger
Zou was gifted to him/he did not have to fight for it
Wano was gifted to him by Oden/he did not have to fight for it
FI/Missing RP was gifted to him/he did not fight anyone for it
BMs RP was stolen/attained in a raid/hit and run
Roger did not need to defeat any single top tier to get a RP rubbing as per the flashback. Even for Luffy only the Wano RP required him fighting and defeating a top tier (that too in a super gauntlet for Kaido), Zou was gifted to him and WCI was stolen by Brook.
There is so much more to being PK than just being a top tier, stop restricting it to only that. Roger was given PK title because he reached the place where nobody else had reached for the longest time, there maybe many who had reached all the way to Lodestar but it was only Roger who was able to go beyond. To achieve that you need to be the best in almost everything, hence why Luffys crew needs to surpass every other crew. Becoming PK is a crew achievement, to get that crew the captain needs to be exceptional. Luffy wants to be PK because to him PK is the freest person. PK Luffy will be the strongest captain, make no mistake but dont mix things up.

Roger fought many top tiers during his time as PK. He fought WB, Xebec, Garp and Shiki. Big Mom was the only one he avoided fighting directly and it certainly didn’t have anything to do with her strength. We haven’t seen him obtain poneglyph apart from Big Mom.
Also there’s this:
“Wealth, fame, power. Gold Roger, the King of the Pirates, attained this and everything else the world had to offer”,

The point is not that Mihawk heard about two dreams and compared which is harder to achieve?
