Controversial Understanding Oda's strongest titles

#85
World's Strongest Swordsman is the only legitimate title which is relevant to one of the main characters of One Piece, Zoro

The other titles have no importance in terms of whether they're just global reputation or actual substantively true

And with Imu's existence as both a man and a creature, WSM and WSC are simply false.

Whitebeard's "World's Strongest Man" is based on his rivalry with Roger. When Roger died, Whitebeard was viewed as the de facto strongest since he was the only one to "truly" rival him. Shiki basically says this, so that's where Whitebeard's title comes from.



Kaido's "Strongest Creature" was purely reputation based on begin with likely because of his insane durability and endurance. People would see Kaido being unharmed by basically anything thrown at him and spread around the rumor that he was the "Strongest Creature".
Those are all headcannons. We don't know the nature of those statements. You are implying Imu is stronger than them all but we don't know for a fact.

“Sneak attack” dude was literally standing long enough for someone to tell Sakazuki to look out and the attack that sent Sakazuki to the earth was a counter after hell hound lmao

Again this is cope, why did Oda shanks and the other top tiers in the verse call oldbeard the strongest if he wasn’t lmao
I will never understand how you sneak attack someone who has CoO

Old sick WB literally cannot fight a top tier for more than a few minutes without getting a heart attack.
Even his best feat was through a sneak attack, and while enraged. Still ended up losing half of his head while only Akainu got BFR 1 chapter and half without much consequences. Old Sickbeard simply wasn't him anymore. His performance was great considering his health but he clearly would be unable to defeat any yonko or OG admiral in 1 vs 1.
-Against Aokiji got saved by Joz
-Against Akainu got a heart attack after 1 chapter of fight, PIS made so Akainu didn't aim for the head when he was at his mercy
-Kizaru was bullying him (
)


:willight:
That was only after Squardo stabbed him
Sickbeard that walked into mf dogwalks them

Dude calm down. What feats Shanks has? He only showed that haki bullshit yall hype so much but means nothing. Coby did similar against Pizarro and he just unleashed his own CoC.

Mihawk states Shanks being weaker than he should be by having one less arm. There is no way he could possibly be stronger. Otherwise Mihawk wouldn't be searching for a new rival.
You do realize shanks became a yonko only after losing his arm. Right?

????
Mihawk has only ever stated to be stronger than CURRENT shanks
Not young shanks
He’s not fought shanks in ages. That means nothing if he thinks himself stronger than a guy he fought during his rookie years.
 
Whitebeard floored the stronger Admiral in a one v one, and no it wasn’t a sneak attack that did it. They were facing one another when he did it.

Kizaru even faked being floored for Luffy lmao

Oldbeard >> Yonko Luffy it’s not even close
WB tried to sneak attack Kizaru and still got low diffed. Even Snakeman put up a better fight than sick WB.
