General & Others Why have we not seen a single character who aspires to be a Yonko?

People who aspire to beat emperors are essentially people who aspire to become emperors. See: Blackbeard
By that logic people who aspires to beat Mihawk want to become WSS?
Why does Shanks wanna challenge Mihawk? To beat him right?

Why does so many people come to challenge Mihawk, he can't even remember most of their faces?

Its not a right answer, because beating an emperor doesn't make you an emperor lol, a Marine can beat an emperor too.
BB doesn't aspire to become emperor, emperor title to him is same as Warlord title, its means to the end, PK title.

"can beat an emperor" is not beating an emperor. We knew as far back as Fishman Island that Luffy was guaranteed to at least beat Big Mom, but even the inevitable wasn't grounds to call him the fifth emperor until he actually beat an emperor's top subordinate.

Blackbeard did aspire to be an emperor, which is why he's one now. There is no way to become the pirate king without challenging an emperor, and there's no point in challenging without the belief in a victory. Proving one's self to be at that level is what makes someone an emperor. So therefore, you cannot become pirate king without being known as an emperor. Luffy will be pirate king, and he already has the ephitet of fifth emperor. His reputation will soar with this victory, but he still won't be pirate king. So therefore, this is the qualification for being known as a legit emperor. Where three of the four right now just see him as a brat, Blackbeard specifically saying "it's too early."

And yes, anyone who beats Mihawk in a duel is the WSS.

It doesn't work that way.

Whitebeard didn't give a fuck about being Pirate King. His only goal was to have a family. being a yonko enabled him to have so many territories and strengthen his crews to save his families when his families were in danger.

Shanks so far also didn't have any ambition to be a Pirate King.

Only Big Mom and Kaido wanted to be a Pirate King.

No he did not aspire to become an emperor.
Show me through his statements that his ultimate destination is becoming an emperor.
He wants to become PK, becoming an emperor is just one of the means to that destination, just like becoming warlord and double crossing an emperor is.

No lol, you can become PK without becoming an emperor, what manga are you reading? Roger was never an emperor.
This is what you need to do to become a Pirate King

-Form a Crew
-Have someone who can read poneglyphs in your crew
-Get the poneglyphs
-Go to Raftel

Becoming an emperor is not part of that check list lmao
You just need to be competent enough to go to Yonkou's territory and read the poneglyphs. You can do what Roger did which is sneak into one or go Luffy way and defeat one.
But defeating an emperor doesn't mean your aspiration is to become an emperor.

Answer pretty simple, PK title exist. If ur aspiring to be the best pirate you’d be shooting there. Which many Currently are seeking. Yonko are those closest to the title. To claim that title u must go thro the Yonko, the top contenders for the throne.

By doing so by definition you ur self become a Yonko.

WSS different in the fact it is the throne. Yet nobody seems to give 2 fucks about it.

If no one gives a fuck about it then why do we have swordsmen rigorously training to be the best they can be as swordsmen?
Why was Shanks training his entire life with a sword?
What about every Dojo?

You seriously think every single swordsman in One Piece is that lazy?

That's the thing, Shanks and WB never gave a fuck about Emperor title either.
That's how worthless the title is, you just become an emperor, Marco woulda become one if BB wasn't there.

Hell a random news reporter made a 5th emperor lmao. That title really has no legitimacy

Roger stood over three of the five people we know as emperors, while another was his subordinate. But the title of Yonko didn't exist back then so you can't actually say that becoming pirate king now is the same as it was then. Kaido and Big Mom currently have two of the roads, so it is absolutely necessary to deal with them. Unless you think anyone out there is going to try sneaking through them and actually succeed without a victory. So while their rank isn't an end goal it is necessary to get to the end goal.

Who in one piece can u name actively seeking to become WSS? Those characters train to reach the top. No indication that involves WSS. The same way every non blade user isn’t aiming to be WSM.

Shanks aims may have involved WSS title before he lost his dominant arm. But now a days doubt he gives a damn, bigger fish to Fry.

Lmfao luffy literally sneaked in and stole it without beating her and if not for sanji wanting to save the vinsmokes they could have left without fighting kata, and nothing is stopping them stealing kaidos road ponyglyph either luffy is choosing to fight kaido he doesnt have to

What do you mean actively seeking?
Like literally every insect and decently strong person Mihawk has crushed. Mihawk's statement suggests so many people come to challenge him, he can't even remember their names.

Like literally every single swordsman training in every single Dojo, who have dedicated their life to training in swordsmanship as a kid and never stopped training until they got old and reached their primes. There are many people like that including Shanks, Oden, Kinnemon, Ashura, etc

Shanks lost his dominant arm and he realized he isn't strong enough to be WSS. What do you mean he doesn't give a damn about WSS title, literally first thing he wants to do with Mihawk when he meets Mihawk is to challenge him.

What bigger fish to fry? He is literally stuck with inferior silver medalist title that he didn't even want. Like literally Shanks reaches prime of his strength has his greatest battles than looses his arm, bets it on new era which literally means Shanks has done all he wants to do in life.

And even then he ends up becoming an emperor. All it shows is how much easier it is to become an emperor compared to becoming a WSS. Shanks at his physical prime couldn't become a WSS, Shanks loosing his dominant arm and no where near his prime strength, Mihawk would mid/high diff Shanks currently, became an emperor.

Because no one could beat one.

Only Yonkou from what we seen can stand up to each other.

Shanks already cut Kidd’s arm off when his crew faced him. And we all know what happened when Kaidou faced Apoo, Kidd, and Hawkins at the same time.

Luffy is the man who said he'd come beat her at the beginning of the New world chapter, and reiterated his intentions in Punk Hazard and Dressrosa. When she called him out on not even throwing a punch, he went and did just that. The idea of sneaking off wasn't his own, here's how he actually reacted to the suggestion

:lusalty:

He specifically has stated that accomplishing his goal is beating them.

He declined to leave WCI without beating Katakuri, which is what helped him earn the fifth emperor ephitet where others beating less than her top man did not.

His peer, Kid, has also specifically stated his intentions on challenging Shanks and Kaido even if he left her territory without facing her.

Why waste my time and your with this post ?
The point is luffy DID run from meme with her RP
Whether he fights her after is irrelevant to my point.


Yo mods wtf i didnt make the threads tf would i get a warning point for posting in it.

:gokulaugh:

Well, your posts are garbage, that's gotta be worth some kinda demerit.

The incident is recognized as Luffy's victory


By virtually everyone in the world except the loser herself. So to say he ran is invalid.
