we got top tier swordsman like rocks who didnt get black blade

but mihawk did

is it mihawk>rocks (which i dont mine cuz its also shanks>rocks :kata:)

or black blades isnt about strenght so rocks>mihawk
Where does it say that Rocks is a swordsman? Or do you still not understand that holding a sword does not mean being a swordsman?
 
Thing is you are seeing the present situation.


Everything ties back to Ancient kingdom.


We have some fine hints which points to Ancient kingdom might not be as good as we think.

Have you ever wondered why Joyboy even sailed out to the seas to become pirate?


BB and Xebec both shared one goal - King of the world. BB is the only pirate who eyes at IMU's throne.


If I have to guess then Ancient kingdom was once ruled by evil king - BB is descendant or reincarnation of him while Luffy is reincarnation of Joyboy.


There is a reason why Oda depicted BB as polar opposite of Luffy - in all sense - goal, ideals, character, aspirations, crew and even thematically - sun (light) vs darkness

Have you wondered why IMU marked BB - only villain to be marked alongside MC?

Their rivalry would go back to ancient kingdom time.
So BB will have to be a descendant or reincarnation of another ancient dude? Imu was directly responsible for all the oppression for the last millennium, seems like he carries the much heavier sin already.

Let’s see it then though, I like Blackbeard way more anyways. If he is FV, it has to be done right which I can’t see right now compared to Imu’s buildup.
