As one of the most popular manga and anime series, One Piece features a diverse range of characters with unique abilities, including powerful swordsmen. Created by Eiichiro Oda, the series showcases many skilled swordsmen, but none are as formidable as Mihawk, the “Strongest Swordsmen” in One Piece.
Aside from Mihawk, Oda has also demonstrated the impressive swordsmanship of other characters such as Shanks and Zoro. Shanks once dueled with Mihawk but has since stopped as he lost his arm. Zoro, on the other hand, was even trained by Mihawk himself, who greatly influenced his growth as a swordsman.
Fans may speculate whether Mihawk will eventually fight Shanks again, or if Zoro will surpass him as the strongest swordsman. However, Oda has already hinted at a potential contender who is shown to be able to match Mihawk’s skills. This character is Vista, a Top Class swordsman who courageously stood up against Mihawk during the Battle of Marineford, proving that he has what it takes to face Mihawk himself.
While Mihawk remains superior in terms of skill and the swordsmanship he wields, the Kokuto sword, Vista’s abilities are still impressive, showing that he can keep up with the “Strongest Swordsmen.” Furthermore, had Mihawk not become a Shichibukai at a young age, Vista would have had numerous opportunities to challenge him.
In summary, the One Piece series features skilled swordsmen, but only a few stand out as the strongest, such as Mihawk, Shanks, Zoro, and Vista, each with unique abilities and stories to tell. As fans continue to read and watch the series, they eagerly anticipate more epic fights and legendary swordsmanship.
