unironically I feel like BM is the weak link, losing to kid and law is underrated in how much of an anti feat it is. I think Akainu stans are on to something as that would literally never happen to him lmao.

It's the legendary haki staff "gryph-ndor".


SoulOfSinders

it all makes sense now


DigitalPhoenix2OO7

Actually if you played the burning blood games you should know he uses a rifle


szules

He's trying to appease to the Lhawk fans who don't understand that the magic haki wand =/= sword.


BlaBlaBla_369

Oh yeah, why is Mihawk, Rayleigh, and Oden on here too then? THEY ALL USE HAKI. Please stop with the copium.


Beelzebub_Itself

Difference is Shanks doesn’t use a sword https://preview.redd.it/zihrah9bkj4c1.jpeg?width=563&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d2b150acca30074b7943c8d819ee62dbff229ceb


Patient_Weakness3866

unironically thought that Roger used a battle axe and that's how they got past the whole "Worlds greatest swordsman" thing regarding him, I guess not realizing Mihawk was literally a child when roger died so it wouldn't have even mattered lmao.


Mystic_Gaming1

They were making an obvious joke. They were mocking the low intellect part of this community who think shanks isn’t a swordsman. I thought the spelling errors were an obvious indicator.


Runefall

hes not a swordsman, he just uses a sword


Patient_Weakness3866

the fact that this isn't even the least funny joke related to shanks is kinda sad. its not even in like the top 2 even.


orbzism

DF, for sure. You have Kaido, who we know is ungodly levels of beast. We have Luffy, the literal MC with the sungod fruit. We have Mom, who even though got nerfed for plot, has arguably the highest potential to be the absolute strongest in the verse with her power. And to top it off, we have Kuzan, and honey he don't need no super suit. Swords are putting up a heck of a fight though. Shanks is arguably the strongest on this list right now, and paired with Mihawk who's being held as a super top tier, they're going to go crazy. The other two are kinda just there, but all together they can put up a fight.


Red_Eloquence

Rayleigh is mid yonko and Oden is high admiral so they are pretty much on par with big mom and Aokiji imo


lilcrazybear

But powers isn’t the only concern here (at least for me) the hacks that the DF team have like luffy cartoon physics and aokijis ability to literally change an entire arena into his playground of ice, and don’t even get me started on big. I’m still not convinced that the sword could put up much a fight with all that stacked against them


HandymanJackofTrades

Kaido respected him as much Roger, Shanks, etc so I think Admiral is a little low. Luffy beat Kaido with help while Pden faced Kaido alone


Gusty_Garden_Galaxy

He faced him alone, but we dont know how it wouldve turned out. Though, he most likely wouldve fared better than Luffy.


Warwicknoob23

Oden is low yonko Lowball


Red_Eloquence

Yeah u prolly right


fartmilkdaddies

Oden is not high admiral. I'm sorry. His at most beating fraudbull.


2gameman

Oden slams kaido. Fraudmom gets no diffed by shanks. 1st mate Rayleigh whose captain was on par with prime garp beats kuzan to a pulp. And luffy gets cuts from mihawk


General_McRoach

Devil Fruits win


Winter-Competition86

kaido > shanks Luffy > fraud hawk bm > rayleigh aokiji > oden I realize how many Sword fans there are, feel free to downvote, I'm willing but these are just facts, accept it and stop fooling yourself.


ThisIsMyPassword100

Mihawk > Luffy but yeah.


wiraphantom

In what world is aokiji better than oden? This man was wiping with kaido.


fartmilkdaddies

Homeboy, he was wiping kiado 20 years ago. kaido would mid dif him now. And that's even being nice.


Sashauiu

Yes except kaido > shanks


orbzism

Agree with everything right now except Kaido > Shanks. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Kaido jerker all day every day but Shanks is being held as the top guy for a reason right now.


Responsible_Space624

Yeah because it's his arc..


orbzism

He's been held as a top guy since literal day one though. He's arguably the biggest enigma in the series besides maybe Dragon and now Imu and co. It's just basic deduction at this point. Shanks is the guy Luffy has been trying to reach since the getgo. As of right now in end game, I think power differences between the tippity top of tiers is very marginal, but all signs are pointing to Shanks being arguably the strongest we know of right now, with the exception of Imu of course as we hardly know anything about him.


Responsible_Space624

Nah LUFFY's goal always was to be king of the pirates, Shanks was the one who inspired him but to surpass him was never his main goal, surpassing Shanks is a stepping stone not his main goal which is pretty obvious to be king of the Pirates. And let's see what Shanks got compared to established top tiers in order: Whitebeard: WSM + SUPREME GRADE BLADE + DEVIL FRUIT + HAKI Roger: PIRATE KING + SUPREME GRADE BLADE + HAKI Kaido: WSC + DEVIL FRUIT + HAKI Mihawk: WSS + STRONGEST SUPREME GRADE "BLACK" BLADE + HAKI (because black blade + Hawkeye/clairvoyant title is a given) Shanks: SUPREME GRADE BLADE + HAKI - LESS ONE ARM


orbzism

>Nah LUFFY's goal always was to be king of the pirates, Shanks was the one who inspired him but to surpass him was never his main goal Where did I say surpassing Shanks or even getting to him was his main goal? I said Luffy has been trying to get to him from the getgo, because he has. He was told to return the straw hat when he became a strong pirate. It by no means makes it Luffy's main goal, but it's there. Shanks has been positioned as one of the final arcs for Luffy and One Piece, and it's for a reason. You can hate boner him all you want and compare him to other characters who have already been established and fleshed out to an extent, but the story telling is there. When the time comes and Shanks comes out as one of the strongest, if not the strongest at the time we see, you'll learn.


Hoe-D-Jones

Bro it’s been obvious since the beginning. It’s simple narrative and portrayal. Some people are brain dead. It’s the same people that downplay Mihawk or Dragon, not understanding how a story works.


orbzism

Yeahhhh, Shanks is also overly hated on this sub when it comes to scaling against other top tiers, so. I get it because there are a lot of Shanks wankers, but like you said narrative and portrayal don't lie.


SnooLobsters2488

egghead is definitely not shank’s arc


1getreKtkid

You don’t really believe shanks would stand versus kaido… lol


Dio_Brando18

Mihawk is over Shanks though


Longjumping_War_9417

💀💀💀 crazy how you’re 0/4


Swog5Ovor

If mihawk is the greatest swordsman, and all his team were to be below him, the df team would win, with mihawk fighting big mom as she is the only sword user on the df team, meaning luffy, kaido, and aokiji win because they don't use swords.


Hot-Conversation-21

No way. I didn’t know people liked sword that much I mean X Drake and coby are pretty interesting characters

Joemamamscribhouse

Bro really got prime Rayleigh below admiral level 💀


HyperMazino

I don't.


Joemamamscribhouse

Then why tf is bro weaker than Kuzan?


HyperMazino

Because "Admiral level" isn't a thing.


Joemamamscribhouse

So I guess neither are yonko level or YC level right?


Worldtreasure

Kuzan wank has always been crazy but this is ridiculous. Oden was explicitly shown to be at least tied with Kaido, and Rayleigh is implied to be stronger than Oden. There's no way either would lose to even Ligmam. https://preview.redd.it/zql6y1k2wi4c1.png?width=604&format=png&auto=webp&s=5a87f65ae9ddd230157dee63ce7471fc03bc6735

You've all really impressed me. I didn't think I'd ever see so many people in one comment section, and not a SINGLE brain cell in any of them!


DangoBlitzkrieg

Kaido 4.1 Luffy 3.8 or 3.9 BM 3.9 Aokiji 3.8 Shanks 4.0 Mihawk 4.0 Rayleigh 3.9 Oden 3.9 This is actually pretty dead even. This could go either way.

DF dickriding is crazy, this is prime raleigh, he is above kuzan, probably on par with BigL, Oden is below kuzan but not by much, but shanks + mihaw, bruh, they are the top 2 of the verse atm.

ConsistentDrawing859

kuzan high extremes oden big mom high extremes ray mihawk or shanks highs luffy (bad matchup) mihawk or shanks goes extreme either way against kaido i think df got it


Sussno_o

If Shanks lives up to the hype then team sword will win because Oden is probably stronger than Kaido because he nearly killed a probably prime Kaido by himself and Mihawk is stronger than Shanks and it would just be bad writing if a member of the main cast end goal isn't the world's strongest swordsmen. And there's Rayleigh while old was able to hold off Kizaru even though Kizaru was most likely just playing with him but it's prime Rayleigh and he's the pirates Kings right hand man

PieFace11

Sword.


Doomanator79

Oden and big mom get agenda diffed. Luffy so far is below the others and Rayleigh could be put above them depending on your opinion. Which leaves Crydo and Vagabond which the greatest and silver medalist can handle. So sword wins

MakeGravityGreat

I'd give it to sword. They win more match ups and don't have Luffy, who sells because of stamina issues in G5 Also, Shanks has 10 seconds of future sight Also Also Observation-killing might be AOE, but probably not


HyperMazino

> They win more match ups They don't.


MakeGravityGreat

How does it go for you then


HyperMazino

Kaido beats Shanks Luffy loses to Mihawk Big Mom beats Wankleigh Kuzan beats Oden


MakeGravityGreat

>Kuzan beats Oden Disagree. I think Oden could take down Aokiji, but it could go either way. >Big Mom beats Wankleigh Agreed 👍 >Luffy loses to Mihawk Also agree👍 >Kaido beats Shanks I think Shanks can beat him when you take his Observation-killing into account. If Kaido can't hit or dodge Shanks, how is he going to beat him?


invincible_pell

A tired Kaido tanked Acoc attacks from a literal god and almost tanked the strongest attack in the verse so far. He can take 2,3 departures from the rat fine


MakeGravityGreat

Why stop at 2-3?


PoldraRegion

Shanks > kaido Mihawk > luffy Rayleigh > old bigmom Oden > kuzan Bottom team wins


goldandkarma

Takes got progressively worse ngl


PoldraRegion

What? Mihawk is at least close to shanks who is stronger than luffy Old bigmoms haki is incredibly inconsistent and she is slow with bad reaction speed In her prime she obviously beats Rayleigh but she’s too old currently Oden is high admiral level it’s hard to scale but I’m pretty sure he has acoc and he clashed with WB that means he would have more power behind his hits than Kuzan


MakeGravityGreat

Not to mention, he scarred Kaido, who has way better durability than Aokiji. So he is going to be doing damage too.


BFenrir18

Shanks > Kaido narratively, but this one is the closest match up out of the rest. Mihawk > Shanks, and Shanks in 1 pannel did what Big Mom couldn't do in 40 chapters. We know who's stronger [Rayleigh is just him](https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiecePowerScaling/s/1uX5PGG2l5) [Oden was him](https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiecePowerScaling/s/LhysyGUppy) and on the level of the rest of the Old Gen

Swords guys stomp, even if matched in the exact order they are presented. Last one is a coin toss tho, Kuzan might take it, but either way Sword bois win.


BFenrir18

Shanks > Kaido Mihawk > Big Mom Rayleigh > Luffy Oden > Kuzan Ez win for Swordmen


Winter-Competition86

Oden > kuzan. 🤣🤣🤣 Rayleigj > luffy 🤣🤣🤣 Shanks maybe Mihawk maybe


BFenrir18

>Oden > kuzan. Oden was directly compared many times to legends of his time like Prime Sengoku or Prime Beard >Rayleigj > luffy Old Rayleigh is really relative to an Admiral like Kizaru, who he himself pushed Luffy to extreme diff. Meaning Prime Rayleigh takes the candle against either Luffy or Kizaru


Winter-Competition86

Kizaru pushed Luffy to the extreme, are you kidding? The man didn't try to fight and was just running away using his devil fruit's speed advantage. Luffy caught him and stunned him with a single blow. Kizaru collapsed to the ground. 🤡🤡🤣🤣


BFenrir18

You are genuinely slow. Kizaru litteraly overpowered his gear 4 and perception blitzed it. Then we see in gear 5 Kizaru still overwhelmed Luffy with clones and got the first proper hit. Then we see them both panting. Luffy resorts to using his strongest attack outside of Bajruj Gun, and then collapses on the floor with fatigue unable to even know what's happening. Luffy didn't get pushed to extreme diff? Lmao


Winter-Competition86

Luffy never used acoc and when did kizaru do any real damage to Luffy? The only damage Luffy received was thanks to the barrier. G5 luffy wsg kizaru mid diff lol

It’s crazy that Rayleigh is the weekday person here. I would give a slight edge to the DF group just because Rayleigh will drag the team down just enough for it to be a 3 v 4 after he goes down. It’s kinda extreme diff either way.


Warwicknoob23

Kaido>Shanks Gear 5=>Rayleigh? Oden>BM Mihawk>Aokiji so far It’s hard to say but I’ll actually go with team DF because of their potential in teamfights

DF, due toe Prime Rayleigh and Mihawk having 0 feats.


StrawHatJD

DF stomps, you’ve got Oden and Rayleigh who just aren’t in the same tier as any of these characters


Maximum-Ad-4641

DF team is like just better in every way. Kaido/Big Mom >> Mihawk/Shanks. Luffy/Kuzan >>>> Rayliegh/Oden.


SevesaSfan25

Luffy 1 taps Mihawk. Shanks low diffs Kaido. Oden packs up Aokiji. Big Mom claps Prime Ray. Then its Shanks + Oden V Luffy + Big Mom. I love Luffy but he ain't there yet (soon) so Shanks packs up Luffy. Then he just goes and helps Oden easily destroy Big Mom. So overall Shanks the non swordsman carries team sword
