Break Week Has Oda treated WSS legit?

WB's title made him stronger than everyone until further notice but Mihawk's title doesnt make him stronger than every swordsman at all?
The WB title never made him stronger than everyone. It was made very clear by Sengoku's statement that the WB title is because of its power to destroy the world. He has this title even when Roger was alive, and it never put him above Roger, his title was because of his power to destroy the world of gura gura, but Roger had a special CoC ability to combine that power.

In the same way that all the characters I mentioned (Kizaru, Big Mom, Aokiji, Whitebeard, Shanks and Fujitora) have a power to match the Mihawk's absolute sword power. And most of them are stronger individually

WB was the WORLD'S STRONGEST man. So many people stated that WB stands on TOP of the world and even his fellow yonko placed him on a higher pedestal. Only Roger was his equal....Oden was amazed at WB's STRENGTH in battle..Destructive ability doesn't=being stronger unless you really want to open that can of worms?

We doubting WB's title too now?
:whitepress:
 
Only person his title really puts him over at face value is shanks imo. And when it comes to shanks it honestly wouldn't surprise me if oda decided to make him stronger than mihawk and just stongest character alive through some weird reasoning

Like he could be stronger than fujitora but man just became a top tier within the past 2 years and as far as we know hasn't fought mihawk ever
Fuji vs mihawk would be badass to see tho no lie

Manga: Whitebeard is the WSM
Yonkofans: OK Whitebeard is the WSM

Manga: Kaido is 'said to be' the WSC
Yonkofans: OK Kaido is the WSC

Manga: Mihawk is the WSS
Yonkofans: Does that mean he fought and defeated EVERY swordsman in existence? Where is the proof that he did? Where is the proof that xyz is even a real swordsman? Who cares about this title anyway?

''Only Roger was equal WB'' man, your text is contradictory on so many levels ...
If the WB title is absolute, why was Roger equal him? There are a number of other mentions and statements that place WB above the other yonkous, this does not derive from the title.
The fact that he is NOT the strongest, and having the title, makes me sure that the title refers to his destructive power of the gura gura that was exaggerated to the point of destroying the world.

WB was directly stated to be the strongest and that fact being emphasized numerous times throughout the series. WB got the title before Roger rose to power and even then Roger never defeated WB and instead became his equal. Then Roger got weaker....then he died, leaving WB uncontested as the strongest.

First you said WB wasnt the strongest cause of his fruit power and now its because of the dead Roger? Give me evidence of characters stronger than WB.

Roger was equivalent WB, and WB never lost the title, that's the point

Since WB’s title refers solely to men (“otoko”), I wonder if anyone could identify as a woman and then beat him in a fight. Would that make them the WSM?

So why the talk of WB not being the strongest cause of Sengoku saying he can destory the world? Roger was long dead.

Poor Iva, Morley and Bon Kurei.
 
Roger was long dead.
It doesn't matter, since WB had that title since Roger was alive.
Even Roger who was king of the pirates and defeated the pirates Rox

And how can you see ambiguity in the WB title with the Mihawk title?
WB is said to be the strongest man, therefore, the strongest in the world.
But the Mihawk title does not guarantee that he is stronger than everyone who knows how to handle a sword. The WB himself (who wields a long sword) is above the Mihawk

It's not a sword. His bisento is one of the 12 supreme grade BLADES but that doesn't make them all swords

Back in chapter 912 when the concept of Meito was reintroduced to the readers, the panel that mentioned them included a spear. I don’t think anyone who’s intellectually honest would consider a sword and spear as the same thing.

Naginata is considered a sword in Japan

Things like these are considered swords





Swords used by the 7 swordsmen of the mist

Zoro also called Kamazou's scythe ''sword'' when he used the santoryu

The Whitebeard's sword was called ''cloud cutter'', it is different from spears that are piercing weapons

WSS is a title we don't know how it was decided.
:choppawhat::choppawhat::choppawhat:

How do you think they decided that Mihawk will be called the "World Strongest Swordsman"?
By looking at him? Oh, big boy, big sword. WSS.

It's obviously for fights where he was destroying people with his swordsmanship.

People say that Mihawk is featless than what is Big Meme?

Bitch never left Toto Land post Rocks until Wano.

I meant was it that he defeated the previous WSS or was he so triumphant that the title was made and recognized by the world to him.
