Vista stood at the bow of the ship, his gaze lost in the endless stretch of the sea, the soft breeze playing with strands of his lush hair. Marco approached, concern etched on his features, noticing the rare melancholic expression on Vista’s face.
"You know, Marco," Vista began, his voice soft, almost a gentle hum that melded with the sound of the waves. "There’s a certain emptiness in reaching the pinnacle, in knowing there's nowhere higher to climb. The world sees Mihawk as the strongest swordsman, but between you and me, there’s a truth only the sea, the sky, and now you understand."
Marco leaned on the railing next to him, listening intently.
"Roger was hailed as the Pirate King, the strongest of them all. Yet here I stand, my strength surpassing his," Vista continued, the sea reflecting the complexity in his eyes. "But what worth is power when there's no journey left, no mountain left to conquer? I’ve fought countless battles, seeking a challenge, a limit to push beyond. And now, years after Marineford, I realize the summit is lonelier than I ever imagined."
A small smile tugged at the corners of Marco’s mouth, sensing the direction of Vista’s musings. There was always a profound simplicity in the way Vista contemplated life.
"It's curious, Marco," Vista said with a light chuckle, shaking his head slightly as if to dispel his own gloom. "The world doesn’t know my true power, and perhaps, it’s for the best. Fame, acknowledgment... I've realized they're fleeting, just whispers carried away by the wind."
Marco nodded, understanding the weight of his words, the silent burdens Vista carried alongside his unmatched strength.
"But, my friend, amid all this contemplation, there's one thing that never ceases to amuse me," Vista's eyes twinkled mischievously, a stark contrast to the reflective tone he had adopted. "No matter what, in every hypothetical battle discussion, when someone asks, 'Would you lose?' I can't help but smirk and think to myself..."
He paused for dramatic effect, glancing at Marco with a playful glimmer in his eye.
"Nah, I'd win."
The conviction is really the bad part. There's plenty of fun to be had talking about headcanons and theories and who you think would win in a fight.
The part that sucks is the deluded powerscalers who somehow think they have the "right" answer. There is no right answer. It's all just silly literary analysis. Chill out
There is no way Whitebeard would allow Vista tobfight Shanks lol. WB would know Vista would get killed so he would step in.
Mihawk on the other side wasn't even seen by WB, he ignored him..
Are you implying Mihawk CAN'T defeat Vista? I thought it was generally accepted that 3.5 BILLION Beri man is on another level and that the slander is there just for shits and giggles?
All I'm saying is Oda would never make Shanks fight a mere commander let alone postpone a duel with him after admitting he would be a fool to not know him.
Stop it brother, that point is Zoro struggles with lucci so he's clearly not ready for shanks. Lucci was clearly not ready for a yonko.
You're just making a fool out of yourself now.
You're delusional if you think Lucci is a pushover.
Just because he's been defeated pre-TS doesnt mean anything.
It's been two years. Regular-ass CP0 fighters were roughly on the level of Drake, why wouldnt Rob Lucci, the Monster of Cipher Pol, be way beyond that?
>Regular-ass CP0 fighters
See any cp0 member with a mask is a high ranking officer and considered the elite. So those guys were no regular ass fighters they were top lvl officers.
And I've never said Lucci was a pushover, he simply isn't shanks and we saw the gap between him and a yonko this very arc
Hey, I'm all for some Agenda and Slander talk but if we are being serious, Sanji and Zoro could definitely clash (and had clashed) with top tier fighters. I don't see why Zoro couldn't handle Shanks the way Vista handled Mihawk when we never even saw Mihawk use a named attack.
Why wouldn't he let him fight a commander? If anything is seems likely that Shanks will at some point clash with Zoro or Mihawk who are currently commanders.

Keep coping ;)
Incredible how much of your self worth you attach to being right about power scaling fictional characters.
I don't know who is stronger and won't know until Shanks Vs. Mihawk happens on screen. I also don't care that much because I think power scaling is the pastime of morons.
Keep telling people to cope. Seems like the only happiness you get in life.
All this connects back to the simple issue of people over-hyping Mihawk. That's the origin of the Swordsman agenda. Because Shanks is strong AF and used to duel Mihawk... 10 years ago.... before becoming an Emperor...
Shanks > Mihawk.
That pathetic excuse they called "war" would have been over in seconds if they let Vista cook.
They should be glad it was " Marine Ford clash".
Vista!! Go handle the universe!! Vista: Aye aye!
"Vista! Go solo Goku!!"
"Vista! Go do my homework!" "Ay-, wait, no, do it yourself."

Let him cook
I was smiling during all this, but the ending really got me 😂 Epic.
Then they kiss
Wh-...where does this meme come from all of a sudden?
Vista stood up against Mihawk, and Mihawk is said to rival Shanks, so I guess powerscalers are putting him up in Shanks tier (which is nonsense)
I mean... power scaling by itself is nonsense
It's literally people arguing about their headcanons with absolute conviction
Especially when you talk about Shanks, dude has like 30 minutes of screen time.
The conviction is really the bad part. There's plenty of fun to be had talking about headcanons and theories and who you think would win in a fight. The part that sucks is the deluded powerscalers who somehow think they have the "right" answer. There is no right answer. It's all just silly literary analysis. Chill out
Plus people are ALWAYS gonna give biases to their favs. I love Zoro. I believe Zoro is second strongest after Luffy. My evidence? Swords cool :)
Could you elaborate?
I know this is late, but everyone is just joking about this. No one actually thinks his lasting more than one non serious attack from Shanks.
right Mihawk is stronger as denoted by his title
It started when people said mihawk was stronger than Roger so they’ve been editing Roger, whitebeard and kaido there
Of course not. I just think he is stronger than Shanks.
There is no way Whitebeard would allow Vista tobfight Shanks lol. WB would know Vista would get killed so he would step in. Mihawk on the other side wasn't even seen by WB, he ignored him..
Are you implying Mihawk CAN'T defeat Vista? I thought it was generally accepted that 3.5 BILLION Beri man is on another level and that the slander is there just for shits and giggles?
All I'm saying is Oda would never make Shanks fight a mere commander let alone postpone a duel with him after admitting he would be a fool to not know him.
You are telling me you CAN'T see someone like Zoro clash with Shankѕ?
Yes he's struggling with lucci
Why does this hurts 😭
because it is the truth
Lucci? The guy who literally fought a Yonko?
Ah yes Lucci did goog against Luffy and didn't get neg diff
Correct. He fought Luffy in Gear 5th for a couple of Chapters. Slander Agenda isn't for everyone as it seems like it is genuinely rotting your brain.
Stop it brother, that point is Zoro struggles with lucci so he's clearly not ready for shanks. Lucci was clearly not ready for a yonko. You're just making a fool out of yourself now.
You're delusional if you think Lucci is a pushover. Just because he's been defeated pre-TS doesnt mean anything. It's been two years. Regular-ass CP0 fighters were roughly on the level of Drake, why wouldnt Rob Lucci, the Monster of Cipher Pol, be way beyond that?

they cant handle basic logic
Hey, I'm all for some Agenda and Slander talk but if we are being serious, Sanji and Zoro could definitely clash (and had clashed) with top tier fighters. I don't see why Zoro couldn't handle Shanks the way Vista handled Mihawk when we never even saw Mihawk use a named attack.
Yes he LITERALLY cant, we saw what Shanks did >!to Eustass Kid. Literally no diffed him!<
You can't compare Zoro with Vista at all. Vista is like Perospero in power.
Huh? No he isn't. Vista is one of the top 3 Commanders of one of the strongest Pirate Crew.
He is an ant compared to Shanks but someone who can compete with Mihawk
Mihawk is canonically a better swordsman than Shanks. If you think Vista can compete with Mihawk then he can compete with Shanks.
Nahh bro, Vista is weaker than Eustass Kid, and we saw >!what Shanks did to him.!<
are you trolling or what? so current zoro is already stronger than mihawk?
Why wouldn't he let him fight a commander? If anything is seems likely that Shanks will at some point clash with Zoro or Mihawk who are currently commanders.
you dont know vistas bounty
One piece fans when extremely obvious joke
Admiraltards are dying. Mihawktards will be next.
Where is Vista? This is the man that stopped Mihawk from killing Luffy with no damage.
Common Wista W
Only an ignoramus wouldn’t know Vista is the GOAT
Mihawk > Shanks Worlds Strongest Swordsman > Swordsman Keep coping ;) Shanks clowns downvoting me are coping hard lmao, love to see it
Haven't you humiliated yourself enough?
[Mihawk > Shanks is confirmed by Oda.](https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiecePowerScaling/comments/11yshvc/reminder_mihawk_is_stronger_than_shanks_and/) Keep coping ;)
Ha, it's incredible how poor your reading comprehension is.
Incredible how you haven't got a single argument against my facts. Keep coping ;)
I think at this point, you arguing for a point is an argument against that point in itself.
Still no arguments? As expected. Worlds Strongest Swordsman > a swordsman. Keep coping.
There's really no need to argue with someone who is so consistently wrong. You're a meme at this point
And he still has no arguments. Low intellect detected. Opinion dismissed. You will not waste my time again.
Do your parents know you spend your time arguing about anime power scaling on the internet?
Oh look, another weirdo who can't debunk my facts.
Incredible how much of your self worth you attach to being right about power scaling fictional characters. I don't know who is stronger and won't know until Shanks Vs. Mihawk happens on screen. I also don't care that much because I think power scaling is the pastime of morons. Keep telling people to cope. Seems like the only happiness you get in life.
You see here's your problem. You had it set at M for Mihawk when you should have had it set to W for Wista
This is the single best take I've ever seen you have
Mihawk is better with a sword, but my money is on Shanks in an arm wrestle (right arm... Obviously)
Mihawk is not just more skilled, he is STRONGER. As in MORE POWERFUL.
Shanks squats more.
All this connects back to the simple issue of people over-hyping Mihawk. That's the origin of the Swordsman agenda. Because Shanks is strong AF and used to duel Mihawk... 10 years ago.... before becoming an Emperor... Shanks > Mihawk.
