FINAL: Whitebeard vs. Shanks
WB never beat Roger, they fought evenly (when WB was in his prime) but it was never stated that he beat him. And if Squardo can stab WB & Akainu can put a hole in him in a bloodlusted confrontation, why can't Shanks, who should realistically be stronger than both Akainu & Squardo, deal some serious damage?Whitebeard beats the pirate king and now is being questioned against Shanks ... hahahahaha... joke of the millennium ...
Except for the hand But then again, better than being deadShanks, mainly because he's young and healthy.
LOL ... was talking about this tournament ... that he just won against Roger in the previous round and is now being questioned against Shanks ...hehehe.. I guess my mistake .. I didnt clear that out in my post ...WB never beat Roger, they fought evenly (when WB was in his prime) but it was never stated that he beat him. And if Squardo can stab WB & Akainu can put a hole in him in a bloodlusted confrontation, why can't Shanks, who should realistically be stronger than both Akainu & Squardo, deal some serious damage?
And I don't see what's wrong with going with portrayal rather than just feats. Whitebeard wasn't able to deal serious damage to Akainu until he was distracted.
I think titles like this one are taken too seriously here (same deal with Mihawk). One Piece is a vibrant world, and the real situation may change faster than the perceptions of the citizens. I still voted for Whitebeard, but not because he's "The Strongest Man in the World."WB should be above as he was acknowledged as the strongest man despite shanks was there too.
Someone please nulify the guy above , lolVoting for Shanks because I like him more than Whitebeard.
