i leave ghandi swordsman out cus we dont know much abot him.

i think shiryu and fujitora can around same level but fujitora is good at observe haki so he counter invisible shiryu.

1. Shanks

2. Mihawk

3. Fujitora

4. Shiryu

5. Zoro

bump

1) Gol D Roger (fictional characters can't die, because they are fictional, so don't say that he died and thus doesn't count)

2) Shanks

3) Mihawk

4) Everyone else

Out of the alive characters, that’s about right. Mihawk reigns supreme amongst swordsmen, that’s been factual since his epithet was revealed.

Vista’s placement is still ambiguous.

1. Mihawk

2. Shanks

3. Fujitora

4. Rayleigh

5. Law

Zoro will surpass them all in a few chapter just wait

Do people really consider Law and Fuji? Didn't know people consider characters with DF.

1. Mihawk
2. Shanks
3. Fujitora
4. Rayleigh
5. Law

Every character in this illustration by Oda is considered a swordsman by him:

@enemybird: Zoro and Law are practically interchangeable. Pure swordsmanship goes to moss-head though, far too many skill and adaptability showings to ignore. Trafalgar’s prowess mostly comes from Doffy praising him. Current Shiryu/Old Rayleigh, we don’t know yet. Blackbeard’s second gets the nod for me because he’s endgame.

‘Strength’ in this context here means overall capability so that’s fine. Skill on forums regarding One Piece is generally underrepresented.

1. Rayleigh

2. Shanks

3. Mihawk

4. Fujitora

5. Vista

I have doubts whether Mihawk really is greatest or not.

@naronu: this is not an Oda illustration it’s a drawing a fan made and Oda put in the sbs.

I don’t count featless men or people without much feats

1. Mihawk

2. Shanks

3. Fujitora

4. Law

5. Zoro

@poopiehead: In skill or power?

Mihawk is number 1 skilled swordsmen. Up there in power as well

@wushu59: power

1.Shanks

2.Mihawk

3.Shiryu

4.Law

5.Zoro

By power

1.Mihawk

2.Shanks

3.Shiryu

4.Zoro

5.Vista

By skill

BM- Fuji- Kizaru arent SM forf me just use blades to boost there DF

Shanks > Mihawk and I'll foolishly die on this hill until Oda outright confirms the opposite.

My argument for years has been Mihawk and Shanks fought prior to Shanks becoming a Yonko making the title irrelevant. Mihawk testing his strength against Whitebeard while we factually know Shanks to be his peer strength-wise it's enough for me.

OT:

Shanks > Mihawk > Fujitora > Zoro > Shiryuu

You guys are forgetting he exists
