Fair enough, but where is the evidence to say he is stronger than Shanks?
But not anymore, Mihawk is now the most powerfull swordsman in the world.
He stopped the punch with a sword right?
You'd have to understand mihawks personality too
Shanks is above admiral level, mihawk is even above that, Yes it would be possible for both of them to kill off admirals, i didnt say it'd be easy for them though.
it was just a long ranged slash from the strongest swordsman , not the strongest attack possible attack mihawk is capable off.
You said he might kill Admirals "out of boredom". That's how this all started.
infuses haki to his fighting style = infuse haki into his swordmanship
I wasn't saying it was his greatest effort, or the strongest attack he could muster. However, if he's using it to test the difference between himself and the man bearing the title of 'World's Strongest Man', then it'd be safe to assume that he bothered to put a lot effort into it, otherwise it would be an exercise in futility. And it was Jozu that smothered it with seeming ease. Mihawk's feats far from support the claims you're making about him.
you have to be realistic, it was a very long range attack,who knows how many KM's away.
Kilometres away? Seriously? Akainu and Akoiji fought across an entire island changing its climate, and somehow the distance, which based on the manga wouldn't be measured in kilometres, between Mihawk and the middle of the plaza is a big deal. And Jozu stopped the attack, whether you wish to classify it as a block or a deflection, it doesn't change the fact that Mihawk's attack was easily managed. If Mihawk thought his attack would've lost significant power before it got to WB, he wouldn't have bothered. The entire purpose of the attack was to compare his strength to Whitebeard's. Either one of Mihawk's most powerful attacks was handled without much concern by Jozu, or Mihawk was just wasting everyone's time with his grand declaration of determining the difference between himself and WB. So either he isn't as strong as you suggest, or he's an idiot that likes to pursue fruitless endeavours. I find it hard to believe that Mihawk is an idiot, so I'm going to go with the former.
Its the fact that Diamond Jozu isn't above the Admiral level and he easily deflected the move.
This has to be the worst. I am replying to a post from a year ago. However since it was addressed to me I feel I have to clear something. There is too much flawed reasoning in you statement. Shanks is indeed slightly stronger than an admiral. However take into account that his power also takes into account his advanced haki.
Well, I don't think winning against a marine admiral would be too much of a stretch. Any fighter strong enough to combat Shanks on more or less equal ground repeatedly, should be able to come out victorious against a marine admiral with great difficulty.
That was 12 years ago. To give you a comparison during the East Blue saga Zoro and Luffy were on a near equal standing. Once they crossed into the GL and Luffy started taking way stronger opponents that gap widen fast. Look at their relative strength after one year. Tell me what happens after 12?
If he'll make it out alive. I think that DD will be killed one way or another after his defeat against Luffy.
Apparently Oda doesn't like to kill off characters, and when he does it's mostly for something really significant. And I noticed most characters that die in OP are good guys, so maybe even a monster like DD could make it out alive.
But there are ruthless names that are aiming for his head after this arc is over. One is Kaido, the other are the Celestial Dragons, and lastly is Dragon.
