Ryuma, Joyboy, Imu, Xebec, Roger. None of them have any such titles
Well that’s because these titles mean specific things that don’t apply to a number of these characters, and these titles were created in specific organic ways recently that also don’t apply to these characters.
Whitebeard’s WSM title was created when whitebeard’s power reached a level when he could end the world. This is the only reason ever given for whitebeard’s title. The fact that Sengoku said Whitebeard can end the world. (note that there is no mention of Whitebeard being able to defeat anyone in combat). That’s why Whitebeard had the title When Roger was still pirate king and when Imu existed
The WSS title was created when Mihawk went around the world to fight anyone worth fight until it was clear he was the strongest swordsman in the world. (This is why Ryuma didn’t have this title, he never left Wano). Roger and xebec were obviously the strongest swordsmen at the time but they didn’t go to West blue and south blue to make sure that they are strongest so the title wasn’t created but Mihawk did. Mihawk even went to Mariejois which Roger seemingly never did. The title was created when the feat itself was cemented.
Kaido’s WSC title is the one that has the most dubious origin since it seems to exist purely based on the rumor that Kaido cannot lose in 1v1 combat. And this is a thing people genuinely believe too. Kid and Killer had fought the red hair pirates and yet they still believed the rumor. This is the one title that has no feat associated with it. It’s entirely based on hearsay.
And in case you haven’t noticed yet, this is the reason these 3 titles work differently from each other. There is no WSM or WSC after Whitebeard and Kaido were taken down. Because WSM has to be a singular threat to the entire world and Blackbeard has not yet reach Whitebeard’s level of mastery of Gura Gura. WSC is based on a rumor so you can’t actually inherit it afterwards without somehow having the rumor apply to you somehow.
And that’s why only the inheritance of WSS title matters, because there’s in built mechanisms to do so. You can do what Mihawk did and travel the world to fight anyone worth fighting. Or you can just beat Mihawk who is already on top of the world. This is the only title that can be so directly inherited so that’s why it’s the only one that anyone tries to inherit. You can’t inherit the WSM title without the Gura Gura or an equivalent planet scale ability and you can’t inherit the WSC title without the ridiculous hype that Kaido had as the supposed “1v1” master of the verse.
