Break Week Has Oda treated WSS legit?

No, Oda has not because he didnt bother to hint or show who was the previous wss holder nor have other young inspiring swordsmans to aim for Hawkeye title compare to Luffy and supernovas.

Plus titles are branded by the WG base on how Roger got his title and why Roger was not labeled as the WSS back then.
 
Mihawk has no feats because he's pure talent. But how can he be stronger than someone who trains and lift weights all day? He's sort of like this other guy who smokes and uses legs as his weapon. Mihawk may not even like fighting, maybe his dream is to be a cook or something.
 
its not the time of mihawk yet to focus on him

this is oda way of writing

when we come closer to wano where kaidou and bigmom has to fall
oda started to put more focus on them by rocks etc

____
same with red hair he is like kaidou before wano
until now we know little about shanks cuz his time didn't come yet

---
so its when zoro vs mihawk
or oda start to hype mihawk when he reveals his bounty etc
 
Oda treatment of Mihawk is excellent.

The issue is not Oda, the issue is the community and the people who refuse to accept certain informations because they refuse to accept that their tier list might be wrong.

But to make things simple (because it is simple):

-Mihawk is the World’s strongest swordsman

From this simple information this is what the readers is supposed to understand =>

-De facto, whatever another swordsman can do skill and haki wise, Mihawk can also.

For example : Kinemon can cut fire, so Mihawk can cut fire. Hyogoro can use deflection CoA, so Mihawk can use deflection CoA.

-De facto Mihawk is stronger than any other swordsman no matter their level. Which means the stronger the other swordsmen are, the stronger Mihawk is.
-Oda has create a top tier swordsman in the marine and in the emperors
-De facto, Mihawk is stronger than those two guys
-In an even more linear way, the stronger Zoro is, the stronger Mihawk is.

By giving Mihawk the WSS title (and saying that he is the WSS in name and in actuality) and created several swordsmen, Oda can assure Mihawk’s hype without actually showing him going all out. He just have to show the weaker swordsmen in action.

Oda’s error might have been to have overestimated the intelligence of some of his readers. Apparently some of them need to be spoon fed informations even tho the manga is aiming for the 13 years old :kayneshrug:
 
Again. Just because someone carries a sword doesn't mean he or she is weaker than Mihawk. This argument is illogical. Big Mom doesn't only just fight with Napoleon, she also uses her fists and mostly her DF. She fights with her homies, and Shanks? We don't know yet. But I'm sure his haki might just be the absolute strongest in the series. Both would beat Mihawk in a 1v1.
This is the equivalent of that referee in the davy back fight pretending not to see the fouls being committed against Zoro and Sanji. Saying we don't know is just plain dishonest. Do you have any reason to believe Shanks uses anything other than a sword?
 
-De facto, whatever another swordsman can do skill and haki wise, Mihawk can also.

For example : Kinemon can cut fire, so Mihawk can cut fire. Hyogoro can use deflection CoA, so Mihawk can use deflection CoA.

This doesn't make any sense. Being able to cut fire has nothing to do with strength.
Zoro is stronger than Kinemon but he is not able to do it.

Mihawk is not stronger than any swordsman by default. If a swordman gets stronger and Mihawk doesn't fight him, how does the world know who is stronger?
They just don't know it, and suppose Mihawk is the stronger one until proven otherwise. But he is not necessarily.
Shanks became an emperor like 6 years ago and he hasn't fought against Mihawk for at least 12 years.
He grew massively stronger probably and the world has just no mean to know who is the real WSS:kayneshrug:
 
I must defend Mihawk in this one, similar as I defend Big mom and her crew in WCi and call people out for calling her meme.
Similar as to Big mom, Mihawk had really the badtime in MF arc, not because he was weak but he was so strong so Oda need to hold him up and nerf him, the same happen to Big mom for same reason in Wci arc. She was too much for the strawhats to handle her so what Oda did to her? Nerf her so hard with the bs wedding cake and let her stall by the weakling strawhats, people call her meme for the end of the arc with was kinda unfair because the same Big mom also one shot Boundman,Judge,Niji,Yonji, two shot Queen and fight equal with Kaido. At the end when we see her against Kaido we all know, she was really nerfed during the arc and Oda show her bad even though she was a monster in terms of powerlvl.

This kinda happen also to Mihawk, Oda need to hold up a top tier and he let look Mihawk bad and nerf him hard to people like Vista,Jozu or Sir Crocodile could do something against him.
As @Monet said it wasn´t his arc, he was just their because of his position as Shichibukai but Oda didn´t really give much focus on him after his small clash with Luffy. Im sure in the moment when the focus lie on Mihawk, he gonna be same as Big mom vs Kaido, beeing able to fight equal against other top tiers and also showing insane feats.

Similar like Mihawk I have big hope for Big mom to getting far better threatment during wano, the same I hope for Mihawk later in his own arc when the focus lie on him and he getting the chance to shine.

Zoro Worshipper
Hell, even crocodile looked a million times better than Mihawk during marineford lol
Does it matter however?

Im sama has never fought
Kong has no showings either

At least Mihawk proved to have the balls to treat Shanks like an unworthy and openly challenge the WSM :)

Then the fact MF is full of PIS combined with the lack of necessity to show off his true power made the thing
 
This doesn't make any sense. Being able to cut fire has nothing to do with strength.
Zoro is stronger than Kinemon but he is not able to do it.

Mihawk is not stronger than any swordsman by default. If a swordman gets stronger and Mihawk doesn't fight him, how does the world know who is stronger?

My reasoning only applies for Mihawk because Mihawk is the WSS and not Zoro.

It makes sense because Mihawk is not a real person that have to prove anything. He is a fictional character. He is what Oda makes him to be. And Oda made him the WSS and said that he is the WSS in name an in actuality therefore, no, there is no other swordsman stronger than him. And if we , the readers, are supposed to consider that there is a swordsman stronger than Mihawk, Oda, the creator of the fictional world where Mihawk and this supposed swordsman evolve, will tell us. But he did not. Worst he said, i repeat, Mihawk is the world strongest swordsman in name an in actuality.

If the creator of a fictional world tell you that one of the fictional character of his world is something why can't you accept that the character is the said thing?

As i said the issue is the community, not Oda's treatment of Mihawk:kayneshrug:

It's not about focus but rather making the title feel legit.

We know Yonko were being challenged by pirates, people seek their position or PK title everyday in NW.

Do you realise that Mihawk lost his chance to have an arc since Oda shafted him aside pre ts as Zoro's master?
Mihawk can't be a main villain of an arc, so he would never get that enough Focus anyway. He can only be a side character in an arc.
+ he's no longer a WG dog so his chances of fighting Strawhats went to 0%.

You guys really think Zoro vs Mihawk will happen, where? Which island of arc? The story follows Luffy, Zoro would only face people under the antagonist whom Luffy fights.
I must defend Mihawk in this one, similar as I defend Big mom and her crew in WCi and call people out for calling her meme.

I didn't know Mihawk has an arc when he is literally not a main villain, doesn't have a crew and isn't even sided with Teach or Navy.

Oda never nerfed Mihawk, Mihawk had Yoru, was Sane and not sick
He wasn't like WB or BM at MF where mihaka lost his sanity or had poor health.

Mihawk has no arc, he has no place unless he joins teach or shanks

After Kaido and BM :
Shanks mini side arc
Teach arc vs Luffy
Imu, Akainu and WG arc vs Luffy and co

There's no place for A warlord or common admiral to have an arc unless you are Yonko and FA
