Speculations Why did neither Xebec nor Roger not have World’s Greatest Swordsman title?

[Shiroyru]

Both were the strongest of their eras and both wielded a sword, so why have they never been given the WGS title by Oda?

 

[Cruxroux]

Whitebeard was rogers era strongest lol.

Another desperate attempt by shiroyru

Whitebeard is a swordsman???

Because Oda doesn’t care about the WSS title

Oda would rather introduce Oden flashback Roger as “Great Pirate” than as WSS

Zoro is literally competing with no one for Mihawks title

I don’t get why zoro fans can’t see how absurd that is

Could have been a topi thread, you were faster, bluddy is lacking

They also didn't seem to have a WSM back then
I think Oda just didn't really care to give the characters of that time those titles tbh, not even Rayleigh who even Shanks fans would agree is a swordsman didn't seem to have that title

Xebec didn’t have that title because of Harald and Roger. Roger didn’t have that title because of Whitebeard

 

[HA001]

Xebec didn’t have that title because of Harald and Roger. Roger didn’t have that title because of Whitebeard

So why wouldn't harald stop xebec having the wss title then ?

What title? WSM?
Xebec was confirmed to be the undisputed strongest of his generation. Above people like Garp and Sengoku. He still wasn't deemed WSM
To be quite honest, I think for that specific title, the Gura Gura no Mi definitely played a big role in it. We had people like Sengoku consistently talking about how Whitebeard can destroy the world because of it

Xebec surpassed Harald when he reached his prime, but then Roger was gatekeeping him from becoming WSM

 

[HA001]

Xebec surpassed Harald when he reached his prime

We've not seen xebec in his prime though

Was he?

 

[Shivercalero]

Because it's an irrelevant title that only Ryuma and Mihawk actively pursued.

 

[kekaro]

They are just 2 options
Either @Roo is right and oda doesnt give a single flying fuck, even after 1200 chapters (so no one can chalk it up to early one piece weirdness) to even wasted a thought about it
Or @Shiroyru is right
In both cases another certified L

It doesn't need to be pursued lol it's just given to whoever the strongest swordsman is

Was he?

Road to Laughtale says so. Just look it up

We still using databook statements in the Big 25?

When Oda himself wrote them, sure.
