EOS Luffy => Roger
EOS Zoro => Rayleigh

Zoro fanboys are forgetting that Luffy is the MC. He’s the only person who will surpass Roger.

"B-but Zoro will be the WGS“

doesn’t matter because Roger‘s haki would blow him away. Look what Roger did to Oden, same thing would happen to Zoro.
Haki is still a part of swordsmanship:

No, Mihawk was commenting on Whitebeard getting weaker.
At the same time admitted inferiority:absojustice:

It wasn't even Mihawk's best attack in Marineford. The iceberg slash was stronger.
Yada yada.

Treatment and portrayal speak for itself here. Mihawk wanted to test WB and couldn't even get past his underling. Not once but twice.

Mihawk also sparred with East Blue Zoro abd postponed against Don Krieg. This means nothing.
Mihawk one shot Mr 1 and other fodders in MF or did he not? But not Crocodile and Vista:absojustice:

Everything point at Vista being real challenge for Mihawk. Canon info and even databooks.

That's not Mihawk admitting inferiority. It's Mihawk saying that becoming the Pirate King is harder than becoming the WSS. And it's true, even if the WSS requires greater strength than the Pirate King. Simply because one needs a lot more than just strength to become the Pirate King:
Cinera so you do see why Mihawk can't be above Roger?
Latter achieved something much more difficult in the story than former. He was epitome of Pirate being that the Manga is about. Roger is biggest Legend that entire cast of One piece revolves and care about.

No, Mihawk said "that man" and "us", not him. He was commenting that Whitebeard was weaker than his reputation.


Treatment and portrayal speak for itself here. Mihawk wanted to test WB and couldn't even get past his underling.
Borsalino's attack was also blocked by Marco.

Not once but twice.
Mihawk didn't care to exert himself enough to get past Vista. He already found the answer that he was looking for.

Mihawk one shot Mr 1 and other fodders in MF or did he not?
No, Mr. 1 blocked his first attack. Mihawk simply doesn't exert his all to hunt a rabbit.


Everything point at Vista being real challenge for Mihawk.
As much as Base Ulti is a real challenge for Yamato.

Mihawk was monologuing about Luffy while fending off Vista.

No. Becoming the Pirate King is harder than becoming the WSS for reasons that have nothing to do with strength.

Mihawk himself thinks that Luffy's greatest ability — the most dangerous ability in the entire ocean's — is the ability to turn those around him into his allies.

Not sure about that
Zoro may surpass roger in future… or he may not… depends honestly on the level of final enemy he faces… and I’m not speaking about Mihawk here, I’m talking about who comes after Mihawk from WG… at final war

is it an admiral?
Or is it someone even stronger and mysterious under Imu? How strong? …etc

so not sure….

but what I do know is that Zoro’s current level is below Oden and confirmed by Zoro himself when he was speaking about Enma couple of chapters ago
