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

[Erkan12]

They aren't skilled enough for WGS.

WGS is based on skill.

Xebec, Roger, Shanks they are on WSM level, not WGS.

Big yapping again by the testicle
Road to laughtale entails sketches and roughdrafts from Oda with hand written notes, does are the only thing he drawn/written
All the flavour text ("WAS HE THE STRONGEST????") is not by oda

just yapping to yap

 

[Worst]

Because ( as Mihawk himself stated ) becoming the pirate king is a much greater feat than surpassing him so when Roger became PK even if he was WSS of his era the PK title was still a bigger accomplishment than that. Xebec wanted to go even further than that and become king of the world

 

[Shiroyru]

When Oda himself wrote them, sure.

Any proof Oda wrote them and not some staffer? Anyways idk if I should even be giving you the benefit of the doubt in assuming you’re right about the databook saying that

Implying Mihawk is even more skilled than Xebec and Roger is hilarious. Erkek might be a Mihawk wanker after all.

 

[Afroking]

Because Mihawk is so far above the competition they had to give him the tittle.

 

[thisnewtechnique]

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

There are many better skills than swordmanship when it comes to conquer worlds and reigns.

They didn't travel the world to challenge strong opponents to prove they were the strongest. That's why.

Blud said travel and the base camper in one sentence
Shiroyru really has that Kinyagi magic of getting the special people

Mihawk never even fought Big Mom lol

Because she's not a swordsman

If using your sword like a hammer makes you a swordsman, than so does what BM does

But she's shown multiple times to fight without a sword and actually be skilled at fighting without one
She doesn't dedicate her self to a sword style like others do

Ok and Xebec uses a gun, axe, and fists

Frankly WB fighting style and Fujitora aren’t that different for me

Anyone who counts people like fuji or law as swordsman are just mad coping cause whoryou actually found a hole in the argument

I don't really know why you felt the need to tell me this, but I do agree with you. Totally irrelevant to the current topic though.

That's good for him lol
Still primarily fought with a sword
And even if you argue he isn't a swordsman and thus can't have the title, Roger Shiki and Rayleigh were swordsmen yet none of them had the WSS title

Fuji is considered a swordsman and WB isn’t

And both have a 12 supreme grade blade

Does a naginata really count as an actual sword though

Why not

it cuts and it’s listed as a meito

Same for Killer. The guy is 100% a swordsman in my book : 2 blades and blades techniques and skills
