The spammer fat clown attack again lol.
You can cry and change the title, but is "Sekai Saikyo No Kenshi" (STRONGEST Swordman in the World). And NO. Is NOT necesary to have the best sword skill. Only be a swordman and be stronger IN GENERAL. What do I want to mean with that? well, EX:
In this examples, we can see how Mihawk has better skills than Shanks AND is generally stronger than Shanks.
FOR THAT, IN MANGA, Mihawk is the "STRONGEST swordman in the world.
And with the "Example swordman" we could see a swordsman who is less skilled than Shanks and Mihawk but, overall, more powerful. That person would be the world's strongest swordsman and Zoro's ultimate goal—regardless of any attempts to deny it or make up nonsensical claims. That is why we see Zoro training to improve his physique and Haki; to claim the title and achieve his dream, he must defeat Mihawk. It doesn't matter whether he does so by maxing out his "skill," "Haki," or "defense" stats. What truly matters is being stronger overall than any other swordsman.
