If you notice most of the strongest use shockwaves
Roger, Whitebeard, Garp, Sengoku, Shanks, Blackbeard, Luffy, etc
There are other ways to bypass durability too like elemental forces like the admirals, Sanji(fire), Jinbe(water) etc tho
Tho some characters instead of trying to bypass someone’s durability just power through it. So despite oden arguably being one of the weaker characters in Kaido’s top 5 he was still the only one capable of cutting him
