No because there is literally no double standard there.
Aces novel literally reiterates what is in the manga which is Garp using same word for Yonkou that someone would use to describe political power.
Otherwise Aces novel is contradicting canon knowledge of Mihawk > Shanks in that case that statement is invalidated.
DB says Mihawk > Shanks
Manga says Mihawk > Shanks
Manga also tells us Yonkou are most power but not individually strongest.
Aces novel leaves the room for debate, doesn't specify what it means to be the strongest.
But one thing it confirms, Shanks is a swordsman who uses his sword when CoC is useless which as manga shows his CoC is useless on non fodders.
Yeah its impossible for me to accept Shanks > Mihawk because its a retarded notion.
Its also impossible for me to accept Marco > Prime WB.
Shanks < Mihawk is not a debatable opinion, its a fact showed to us in manga, reinforced again and again in manga and in databooks.
here is the root of all problems .... when one claim something wrong and act as if it's canon
Novel said Yonko are strongest in all terms of power as a pirate , personal and man powerwise , both
denying that is not even logical
DB put Mihawk above Shanks in swordsmanshio
Manga never put Mihawk above Shanks and gave him far less good on screen feat
Manga show us Shanks = WB
so when Yonko are called STRONGEST PIRATES .... manga needs to specify what it means
but in a world where no one called Mihawk above Shanks
WSS title don't need to specify what it means
and this is not "double standard" to you?
Strongest Pirate
Strongest Swordsman
are same type of title .... but one of them have more weight to it and that's CLEARLY Strongest Pirate
just "one more" reason why Yonko > Mihawk .... add feats and story stand point and what we saw on MF clear things us even more
but it's funny that you can't acknowledge all of this
so just next time don't call "us" the ones with "double standard"
cause we are beating you "in your own game"
but again
you also said
Mihawk > Prime Beard
so .... Mihawk title make him above Shanks but Prime Beard title don't make him above Mihawk ?
for a moment I hoped you have a bit fairness in you .... but you want war .... we gladly keep giving you that than
