General Discussion on the Shichibukai [Manga]

Don't try twisting and making stuff up now. Having the title of Yonkou doesn't automatically make Shanks stronger than Mihawk and you know it.

There's nothing wrong with a shichibukai being stronger than a Yonkou. But you don't have any concrete evidence to make such a bold claim.

Mihawk being the strongest swords is all the proof necessary.

Unless you can give something that indicates that Shanks has another main fighting style, then Mihawk is stronger than him and that's all there is to it.

What have I made up? I didn't say Shanks is stronger than Mihawk. I'm saying that Mihawk's title of "Strongest Swordsman in the World" doesn't mean he's overall stronger than Shanks just because the latter has so far only been shown to wield a sword. You want to bring titles into this, so I'm doing the same for Shanks.

At the end of the day there's no material in One Piece that makes this statement true. Yes we know Mihawk is the strongest swordsman, though that doesn't make him the strongest in the One Piece universe.

Sure you can believe whatever you want, though don't try and force your personal opinion as true facts.

You're trying to say that the title of Yonkou means that you're 1 of the 4 strongest pirates which isn't true in the slightest. The Yonkou are just 4 formidable pirates who rule over the New World.

Where did I ever state that Mihawk was the strongest character in One Piece?

I'm not the one who started this debate so that latter part of your post makes no sense.

Nope. Garp proves you wrong with the following link: http://www.mangareader.net/103-2539-...apter-432.html

Try again.

You're changing the topic, like you have been doing with the discussion with Blackbeard. At the end of the day you're stating that your facts are the truth, when you have no evidence behind them.

Man you need to get some better translations, what's said is this:

Of the millions of pirates there are now...he stands as high as that "White Beard"
as one of the four most formidable pirates

http://mangahelpers.com/t/momodaisuki/releases/5900

Not to mention, character statements aren't always accurate you know that right? However something stated by Oda isn't up for debate. That's the difference between the two titles here.

How am I changing the topic? If anyone's changing the topic, it's you.

I asked you to show me where I said that Mihawk is the strongest character in the series, and you didn't because you obviously like to pull nonsense from your rear end.

I love how you don't give any examples of me supposedly doing this. You're all talk lol.

[Shiroth]

Sigh. This is going no where fast.

That translation is no different than my link. Formidable/Greatest/Strongest; those words are all used in the same context.

And I'll take what Garp says over your delusional/biased perspective.

Formidable - Arousing fear, dread, or alarm

Obviously the Yonkou bring more fear that Mihawk ever could. Mihawk is only one man, the Yonkou have control over an entire crew, territories, and possibly allies as well.

Hardly the same thing.

Lol, then run along concede.

[paradox13]

The Yonkou are just 4 formidable pirates who rule over the New World.

The 4 MOST formidable pirates.

Not just formidable, but the most.

[-Suigetsu-]

It's funny how people never doubt Mihawk being stronger than Vista, Rayleigh, or any other swordsman beside Shanks, and the reason is because that Shanks is a Yonkou.

It's as if people have a problem with a Shichibukai being stronger than a Yonkou.

[paradox13]

reason is because that Shanks is a Yonkou.

The reason is that Shanks has been seen fighting using other methods (i.e. using his haki as a weapon), and not just his sword.

I am not so sure that Mihawk is stronger than Rayleigh either.

[SOGESNAKE]

Well, we DO all have to remember that Mihawk is the World's Greatest Swordsman. He can still lose via Haki or what not, but if it's a sword fight, I think he'd always come out on top.

That being said, Shanks is still a skilled swordsman mind you. He DID used to spar with Mihawk before he lost his arm. Now Mihawk won't fight him because he takes pity on him or somethin' somewhere.

I had Aohige clarify on Garp's statement regarding the emperors. It turns out we were both wrong.

Garp: There are as many pirates as there are stars in the sky now... and he is one of the four great pirates, rivaling "Whitebeard"!
They rule the later half of Grand Line like emperors, thus they are called "Four Emperors"!!

As you can see, nothing to do with strongest or most formidable.

That being said, I think you're the one who needs to concede. This forum has no place for your obstinate/narrow minded views.

Haki isn't the seperate fighting style. It's a supplement.

So according to Oda, Mihawk's the strongest swordsman. Have a good day.

[paradox13]

How do you know that? Haki is indeed a supplement in some cases, but it could also possibly be a completely separate fighting style.

What you say might be true, but it might also be wrong.

You cannot harm a top tier with haki alone.

It's like saying that the pills that Hodi swallows are a separate fighting style.

How do you know that a battle amongst top tiers can't be decided by wills alone?

It'd almost be like a staring contest

[Kallen4life]

you realise haki is a MAJOR supplement ? mantra = dodge-hax .. armor - to makes your sword hit harder or to harden your defence (maybe if you make an invisible armor on your hand you can catch/parry swords bare-handed .. Rayleigh stopped that charging elephant and the Boa sisters deflected Luffy's blows)
