When did each respectively become top tiers?
Using shanks for reference
  1. 25 years ago the roger pirates disbanded. Shanks is 14
  2. 22 years ago recruited yasopp basically starting up his crew. Shanks is 17
  3. 19 years ago found uta. Shanks is 20
  4. 13-19 years ago he gets scarred by Blackbeard. Shanks is 20-26
  5. 13 years ago he steals the nika fruit and meets luffy. Shanks is 26
  6. 12 years ago he gets a bounty of 1.04 billion loses his arm and leaves foosa village. Shanks is 27
  7. 6 years ago he becomes an emperor. Shanks is 33
So at what point do shanks, Blackbeard, and mihawk become top tiers? Were they always or was it only recently?

Mihawk was already more famous at the time of Roger's death. Somehow Shanks started to get fame from battling Mihawk but no idea when they started it (this is from Ace's Novel) so it seems they both kept their Rivalry until a certain Fish happened.

BB was flying under the Radar until he got the fruit. Him scarring Shanks should be a big deal since they are mentioning it so it must have happened during his Peak Duels with Mihawk

We know Teach became a top tier when he got Gura at Marineford
Shanks became top tier between 12-6 years ago before he became Yonko level 6 years ago
Mihawk became top tier 15-8 years ago

Somewhere between 6, 7 or "8".
Foosha Village Shanks got negged by a smoke screen from fodder tier bandits and got his arm chopped off by a weakass seaking below EB Luffy, lmao.
BB when he beat Ace. He beat him with medium difficulty. And Ace was barely below Admirals at that point.

Probably 3 or 4 since that panel implies that he already has future sight from his repeated duels with Mihawk. BB got it earlier as he seem to have a "hidden" ability that nullifies future sight ability, first to read people's haki and pleading WB to join was a strategic move so he was already strong.

I'm sure Mihawk got it centuries ago. Ryuma and Reyleigh most likely challenged him because they both have the same eye and chest scar as Zoro. On top of that, he was seen to hold Yoru in Roger's execution and his name implies he has a long lifespan with strong hints of being related to Imu.

Note his Vivre card; Shanks was a teen before the "Great Pirate Era', there's only a few "powerful foe" that comes to mind and they aren't around today. That should tell you something.

Mihawk and shanks 6-7 years ago probably. Shanks became a yonko 6 years ago. He had 1B bounty during foosha village stay 12 years ago.

I think oda mentioned WB reached prime in his mid 30s also.

So I will say anywhere in their early 30s both shanks and Mihawk became solid top tier.

SHs/main characters are outliers. Kaido at age 20 was an apprentice for example.

BB is tricky. I think in 2 years pre skip time he became a top tier.

I am gonna link you this post the next time I hear you say that Mihawk is below pre-skip Luffy/a Vista-victim.

As for when ANY of these three became Top Tier?

Mihawk probably was already by the time of Rogers death, and Shanks became one during said rivalry. I doubt Whitebeard would have given two shits about their duels if durign their rivalry Shanks/Mihawk were High tier.

Teach became Top Tier when he got proper control over the Quake fruit in the Post-Skip.

-DFless Teach was Marco / Jozu level:



WB pirates top 3, they are above Vista.

-1 DF Teach was Admiral level.

-2 DFs Teach is above Admiral level.

-Mihawk is probably between Jozu and Admiral level, close to both.

When Shanks was 20, he was definitely Marco / Jozu level, then slowly he surpassed that and becomes Admiral level at some point.

Shanks proved he was above Admiral level 6 years ago.

Mihawk and Shanks were probably like low top tier at least when Shanks were at East Blue at the beginning of the story for the people in OP world to be shocked when someone like Shanks returned with a missing arm. Like no one would give a shit if someone like Jack, Cracker returned with a missing arm.
