Is Mihawk the current strongest in the verse?

Lel no

He's top 10 at a bare minimum. Likely top 5. Absolutely not the strongest since he is Zoro's wall to overcome.

With big mom and Kaido out of the way and shanks technically being below him yea I’d give it to Mihawk

Hmmmm...

I say...

Hmmmm...

No.

not even top 5

No.

@lucifer10: what about top 10

I think there are plenty of powerhouses in the OP world which so far remained hidden from the viewers.

I speculate that this guy is secretly the WGS, a title he gained by defeating Ryuma, but no one saw him fighting for centuries.

Also there are 180 countries under the WG control, all with their armies, generals, heroes.

WG easily conscripted 2 admiral level characters for the Marines, seemingly out of no where.

He was literally reintroduced with a new scar on his neck, so no he's not.

Strongest in the HST currently yeah

Thats just shading lol

OT: IM is the strongest

@jc9865: how is shanks below him

He's a Warlord so he should be on equal footing to an admiral.

Being comparable to Shanks in any way already puts you above admiral level

Mihawk is yonko tier

shanks is below him due to what statement/feats? because if you are basing your opinion on chapter 1058, it says that Mihawk>Shanks in sworsdmanship only.

hell no. People saying he is, are reading Two Piece

Shankstards are on copium as usual

Weakest Yonkou forever.

I highly doubt he's the strongest but there's no way he's not in the Top 10

Weakest Yonko apparently:

• Clashes with WB
• Stops a bloodlusted Akainu punch with his sword only
• His CoC is enough to make an Admiral rethink his entire plan
• End the Paramount War
• Stopped Kaido from going to MF
• Is considered by Kaido to be one of the only people that can fight him

LoL

LMAO hell no

This fraud ain't even top 10

Strongest? Nah,Top 10? Yes I do believe shanks is stronger and the only reason Mihawk got a higher bounty in comparison to him is due to him literally huntingmarines i.e. the same people who put up these bounties to begin with

@paxa: The horizontal stitching was "just shading" ?

For reference, Mihawk's last appearance in the story before this in chapter 956:

Note the complete lack of horizontal scar stitching present on his neck, he was unquestionably scarred in between these two appearances.

I'm suprised that no one is talking about Crocodile's Bounty right now.

It's almost 2x higher than Katakuri's. Daz Bones must be a monster now as well. If Crocodile and Daz Bones got that much stronger. Imagine how much more powerful Lucci and ENEL are now.

@naronu: what difference does a scar make?

he is the strongest swordsman in the world not strongest person in the world.

as Kaido stated the power that reigns supreme in One piece is Haki.

Mihawk just has the best swordsmanship.

He's top 10 easily, but strongest is quite a stretch.

@saboyaba: Means he was very recently pushed to the point where an opponent scarred him, one of Mihawk's greatest actual showings was the fact he remained untouched through the entire Marineford War.

He's up there but not the strongest

Damn you even a bigger clown than i thought

OT: After Kaido death Mihawk is easily the strongest person alive right now

1. Stronger and more skilled than Shanks
2. The strongest armament haki (Literally turned his sword to black)
3. The strongest observation haki (Clairvoyance was his original epithet)
4. Holds the most powerful sword in the world
5. 3.6 Billion bounty for nothing but his pure power
6. His disciple with a sword that is not even top 12 is strong enough to be a threat to Kaido
7. Has two hands lol

Could be, but pretty sure Zorro would be the one to surpasses him.

top 3.

i got imu and blackbeard 100% above him.

not sure if I would place anyone else above him.

Best swordsman =/= strongest in verse

I'm not even sure if Mihawk has ever been stated to have CoC haki, dude wasn't even mentioned a single time in Wano.

Mihawks skill and implied armament haki has him on the low end of my top 10 though.

Fodder to Shanks? No. Strongest in the verse? No.

Out of the characters that have actual scaling and showings, probably.

shanks is

@cull_obsidian: You read the latest chapter? But even before that He became strongest swordsman after his fight with shanks. Therefore we could assume he was stronger than shanks.

The WHAT ?

@laufnyr: it's swordmanship at least. In a swordfight mihawk wins. Shanks fights with a sword. So if he's stronger in a sword fight he's stronger than him. If you're arguing that haki makes a difference, haki is used in their swordfights, so it is already calculated in that statement

@raziel2014: He uses haki in his swordsmanship. His combination of haki and swordmanship is higher than shanks.

@lucifer10: Who are your top 5

@animefreak1: Who is your top 10

Not in order

1. Whitebeard

2. Garp

3. Sengoku

4. Akainu

5. Kizaru

6. Aokiji

7. Xebec

8. Roger

9. Shanks

10. Oden

@animefreak1: You're answering top 10 of all time. The question is the current strongest. Almost half the people you listed are dead. And you believe admirals are above yonkou? Aside from whitebeard

@jc9865: I haven't read the latest yet I pretty far behind, I'm still on whole cake arc dub

What is this list, lol.

Nope. He is top 5 though

@animefreak1: I would expect a list like that from you

If Mihawk was the strongest One Piece character who would Luffy's final opponent be?

Zoro's final step before becoming the Strongest Swordsman will be Mihawk. Luffy's final step before being the Pirate King will either be Shanks, Blackbeard or a WG character like Im. Just based on the logic that Luffy's quest is admittedly more challenging than Zoro's should prove that whoever Luffy ends up triumphing over will be superior to Mihawk.

Everyone forgets about Shiki smh
