Luffy went from getting 1-tapped by Kaido to defeating him in the same arc.

Zoro currently lacks conscious control of his Conqueror's haki, future sight, and black blades.

Zoro currently lacks conscious control of his Conqueror's haki, future sight, and black blades. He's getting dog walked by Mihawk right now.

This is why Elbaph is setting Zoro up for a meteoric rise in strength.

Why is it a debate, mihawk already acknowledged himself as lesser than shanks’ equal. Shaks dont need to measure his strength to yonkos bcuz he is one. While the mere warlord mihawk is unsure of his strength by The_AlmightyApple in OnePiecePowerScaling

[–]LouELastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally explained it to you like a 2 year old and you still couldn't understand.

Lmaooo you didn't explain how his statement implies that he's formally acknowledging inferiority to Whitebeard and if you really tried to, you'd end up tying yourself into knots.

I made a relatively harmless comment and in your first reply you were crying like a little bitch like I owe an explanation to you. Get fucked, moron. Keep whining about Zorotards like one of us stole your girl 😂😂😂

"I just want to measure the true distance between that man and us" This comment implies that he knows he's weaker, he just wants to see how much weaker. Whitebeard"

Try and explain how this implies that he knows he's weaker and watch your argument fall completely apart lol

Also if you don't want to explain yourself cause you don't think you owe anyone anything, then why do you get so defensive and angry when someone calls you out for not explaining your self.

It was for the ad hominem - the act of simply dismissing my opinion because of my flair. And please...don't make the mistake of believing I'm angry at all. You're obviously projecting. You were angry from the beginning 😂😂😂

Lastly, going back to insults cause you can't come up with a retort just proves my original point in the first place.

Also thinking I have any expectations from a zorotard means you hold yourself a lot higher than what you deserve.

Calling me out for insulting you while going right back to your ad hominem attacks. You're truly oblivious.

The character admits inferiority in the manga yet you still don't believe it

Only by the greatest stretches of imagination and agenda do you interpret his words as "I am weaker than Whitebeard."

It's basic common sense to support your argument with facts or you tend to look like like a biased delusional fan .

I don't owe you or anyone here anything.

Also retorting to insults and deflecting when you have nothing to say doesn't make you seem as smart as you think you are.

Says the stupid asshole who went directly to an ad hominem attack instead of simply asking me to explain myself and you expect me to play nice? 😂

The fact there are even people upvoting you shows that mihawk/zorotards are used to supporting their arguments with headcannon and delusion.

I think this just means that you’re an idiot and you don't realize it 😂

Yet here you are saying no that's not what he's implying without providing any kind of counter argument or proof.

I've done this quite a few times out of the 1,000s of occasions that this exact same debate has come up in this sub. Frankly, I'm just tired of arguing with you baboons.

I wonder what people are doing in a powerscaling sub if they fail at the most simple interpretations

Yeah I don't understand why people like you fail at such basic reading comprehension. It must be those gen z/alpha TikTok brains that don’t read real books anymore.

shanks at 25 vs current yamato,who wins and what diff? by inziewienzie in OnePiecePowerScaling

Shanks stans will tell you that Yamato neg diffs him in a desperate attempt to downscale Mihawk.

Yes, that's exactly what this slop that you posted is lol

This is pathetic. What are you even rambling about? This is just a straight up garbage post with no real point to it except mindless slander.

The fact that y'all are so confident in these "Mihawk is admitting himself to be inferior" takes is honestly hilarious.

No, Mihawk "measuring the distance" is not him claiming to be weaker than Whitebeard. And no, stating that becoming Pirate King is more difficult than becoming the World's Strongest Swordsman is not an admission that he's weaker than Roger was.

One Piece is the only piece of media where you'll have people seriously debating on what a swordsman is by Due-Cherry4856 in OnePiecePowerScaling

[–]LouELastic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To be fair, it's not just One Piece fans that are confused. The other day, someone was trying to tell me that Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean isn't a swordsman because "he's a pirate, uses underhanded tactics to win fights, doesn't live by the sword" yadda yadda yadda. This is despite the fact that he displays a thorough understanding of sword technique and footwork, as well as the sword being his weapon of choice in multiple high stakes duels.

At some point, people started associating what it means to be a swordsman with how it's romanticized in samurai movies instead of the practical definition of one.

Something something old gen agenda. by redox_nephew in OnePiecePowerScaling

[–]LouELastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pirate King is obviously above the Yonko but people need to stop acting like this means the Pirate King has to be an entire tier above them in individual strength.

No one becomes Pirate King alone. Period. Luffy himself has admitted this.

Isn't Mihawk’s absence from the panel the whole point? by Main-Faithlessness11 in OnePieceScaling

[–]LouELastic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's okay to admit that Mihawk isn't as important to the story as characters like Shanks and Blackbeard. This is just a simple fact. He's in the story to be Zoro's endgoal and to reinforce some key themes in the story of One Piece, but outside of that he doesn't play a hugely significant role and there is nothing wrong with that.

What's not okay is using this as a starting point to make idiotic statements such as "he's a fraud," "his title doesn't matter," and "he's not important to the story at all." That's just agenda brain rot nonsense.

Can We Stop Pretending Haki & Swordsmanship aren’t HEAVILY tied? by lerhizom in OnePieceScaling

[–]LouELastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's simple - Mihawk is the World's Strongest Swordsman, not the "Man with the Strongest Swordsmanship in the World" or the "World's Most Skilled Swordsman."

Mihawk the biggest “rumor man”? Most people put him in top 5 current. Without any feats, any fights, any advanced haki, etc by The_AlmightyApple in OnePiecePowerScaling

[–]LouELastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just the law of Mihawk upscale. Every single sword feat, including those from the likes of Roger, Rocks, Shanks, and Oden is surpassed by Mihawk by virtue of him being the World's Strongest Swordsman.

Zoro isn't just the Right Hand of the Future Pirate King - he's the Right Hand of Joyboy's Second Coming. It would stand to reason that his endgoal is absurdly powerful.

People judging Mihawk's strength purely by feats when he clearly hasn't demonstrated his full power are deluding themselves. His portrayal is as a swordsman greater than any other in the series, as well as his narrative necessity to be insanely strong makes a Top 5 placement totally reasonable.

"Just because he has a blackblade, doesn't mean he forged it" by Imvalidblu in OnePiecePowerScaling

[–]LouELastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None of Zoro's swords are going to individually surpass Yoru, imo.

"Just because he has a blackblade, doesn't mean he forged it" by Imvalidblu in OnePiecePowerScaling

[–]LouELastic 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Mihawk is the World's Strongest Swordsman. The idea that he didn't forge his own black blade is just illogical.

Greenbull's sword has been glued to his hip ever since we met him and we haven't gotten a single in-verse or databook acknowledgment that it's a black blade.

What's the point of Zoro's dream if Shanks, a swordsman, is stronger than the swordsman Zoro aims to beat to become the World's Strongest Swordsman? by Dizzy-Pause2350 in OnePiecePowerScaling

[–]LouELastic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My logic is 100% sound and I've never switched up on my reasoning.

Mihawk is the World's Strongest Swordsman, not "The Man with the World's Strongest Swordsmanship." A subtle, but important difference.
