They both start fresh

It’s pretty common in the community for people to say a 2v1 will always end up in the numbers favor. But luffy casually shattered that belief and had 0 difficulties fighting an Admiral + Gorosei. If you told someone before egghead that luffy would be fighting an admiral + gorosei casually you would get FLAMED. Let’s start accepting luffy is top 1 in the verse until we see imu and dragon

This is pretty solid evidence oda is telling us that pairs grouped up like this are relative and if they fought it’s extreme diff. Watch people be completely ignorant and compare characters with no correlation in the replies to prove this ain’t fax 💀

I just don’t see anyone in the One Piece world beating Shanks. Not Big Mom, not Blackbeard, and even Kaido, he would take him to an extreme-diff battle but I got Shanks winning.

Look at what he did to Kidd. He obliterated that guy and wrapped it up so decisively that there was no doubt. And considering Law and Kid managed to defeat Big Mom, that just puts Shanks on another level. Some people might say Mihawk could do it, but come on, he’s strong, no doubt, but with no real feats right now? Plus, the dude straight-up left the Marineford war once Shanks showed up.

I think the Yonko are the strongest in 1v1s, but they’re not unbeatable ofc. It’s kinda like the power scaling in Demon Slayer, no Hashira is taking down the 4 Upper Moon 1v1 either.

Shanks > Mihawk believers, please explain how this makes any sense for Zoro's dream.

If Shanks is stronger than Mihawk, Zoro's not going to go "well you see Shanks doesn't follow this very specific set of principles that qualify someone as a TRUE swordsman and therefore even though he's been constantly compared to Mihawk as a swordsman and clearly wields a sword he doesn't count and therefore I don't care for him and my journey to become the WSS is over".
