Questions & Mysteries Why was Roger not WSS?

The author didn't and that's all that matters.
Its really pointless to debate with some of the Mihawk/Zoro agenda pushing people. Its undeniable Mihawk is elite, thus makes Zoro's goal to surpass means he will be among the elite top tiers end of story. But the way some of these Mihawk fans ignore over a 1000 chapters of a story, and place their fav character above the rest because...thats their favorite character. Nevermind the narrative and official statements in other OP media.
 
He was. Unless you can name a swordsman from his era who was stronger.

It doesn't matter if the title was given name or not. It's a reality title, not an arbitrary one. As long as there are swordsmen in the world, there will be a strongest one.



Because being PK is more prestigious? Mihawk even says so. Why would Roger be known as something lesser than his biggest accomplishment.
And Shanks Is the man closest to be PK.
 
And Shanks Is the man closest to be PK.
Currently? Won't ever reach it, but yes, now that most of his competition is dead.

Not sure how that's relevant though. Mihawk doesn't even give a fuck about being a Yonko, much less PK. So there's nothing to compare with.

It's said that Akainu could be PK in a year, too. All while likes of Kaido, Shanks and BM were alive. And Akainu was/is in same tier as Kizaru and Aokiji.
 
I mean I know CoC could be the most broken thing in OP but that doesn't mean every guy with CoC achieved that level of perfection. From what we know, even the likes Kaido and Big Mom haven't mastered CoC to its full capacity so there are levels to it.

We can't really give Zoro and Yamato the benefit of the doubt against Law and Kid solely because they have CoC coating. Law's chances of murdering Yamato or Zoro with his abilities are far higher than their chances of murdering Law with CoC. I mean, they can outclass Law in a fight because they've got the other skills, not because CoC just magically cancels out everything that Law has to offer.

Yeah, I am one of the only people who say we'll get a new advanced form of CoC via Shanks. That's why I never refer to CoC coating as advanced CoC.
great post indeed

Well, swordsisters? Why was Roger not World's Strongest Swordsman?
  • He carried a sword
  • He fought with a sword
  • He used haki in fights
  • He loved his sword to name his son after it
and yet he was not WSS. Why is that?

Mihawk never once was used in the same sentence as Roger. He was never compared to Roger. Zoro never once thought about Roger as his goal or even in general.
Why is that?

Mihawk as WSS was seeing himself inferior to old Whitebeard who was WSM.
While Roger was being compared as prime Whitebeard's equal and superior. Why is that?
Because characters who use CoC blasts are completely different from characters who use fencing/slashing technique.

One meets the swordman skill criteria while the other does not

Roger and Shanks don't use swordsmanship as the most important part of their arsenal, so they don't fit the criteria for "swordsman" and don't vie for that title.
