The one aspect that is intriguing aboutOne Pieceis that it has a lot of powerful titles that can be attained by a character or assigned to them by the general mass. From the Warlord of the Sea all the way to the King of the Pirates, these titles determine the strength and power level of certain characters and also add a dramatic flair to their development within the series.

Out of all the titles, the one that is the most mysterious is the Strongest Swordsman of theOne Pieceworld title held by Dracule Mihawk for the longest time. There have been quite a few characters who have desired to achieve this title, but none of them have ever come close to taking down someone as strong as Mihawk.
The mysteriousness of the title comes from Mihawk, as fans don’t know much about it. While there are other questions about the Swordsman, the one that is most asked is who he beat to become the Strongest Swordsman out of them all. There are quite a fewOne Piececharacter names that come to mind, and one of them is another character who is just as mysterious as Mihawk, and his name is Bogard.

The Strongest Swordsman in theOne PieceWorld
Swords are one of the most common weapons used inOne Piece. Therefore, there are quite a lot of swordsmen who have showcased their skills by making a name for themselves. Some of the most powerful characters, like Gol D. Roger, Shanks, Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, Ryuma, etc., are swordsmen, and among all of them, the one who stands at the top is Dracule Mihawk.

Mihawk has held the title of the Strongest Swordsman in theOne Pieceworld for quite some time. While he has had a rival in terms of Shanks, his swordsmanship isproven to be even better than Shanks’. Characters like Zoro have laid their eyes on the title for the longest time, but Mihawk’s strength is just too much for others to handle.
Although Mihawk has never called himself the Strongest Swordsman in theOne Pieceworld, he has earned the title after fighting extremely powerful opponents until no one could challenge him. His mysterious personality adds more substance to the moniker, and there is a big possibility that fans might get to find out more about it when Mihawk enters the central storyline ofOne Piece.

Who Did Mihawk Defeat To Become The Strongest Swordsman
As mentioned above, there is an entire list of Swordsmen who are quite powerful and dangerous, but the only one to earn the title of the Strongest is Dracule Mihawk. He is the only character inOne Piecewho has ever earned this title, and no one knows who he defeated to claim the top spot. The best possible guess for this would be the Marine Headquarters officer, Bogard.
As fans know, Mihawk holds a special grudge towards the Marines, and he allegedly suffered a great betrayal. This is why he went on a killing spree where he defeated a lot of strong Navy officers, and it was only after those battles that he earned the Strongest Swordsman Moniker. And while the Navy has a lot of strong swordsmen,Bogard feels the perfect characterto hold the title before Mihawk.

Just like Mihawk, Bogard also has a mysterious personality, and not much is known about him aside from the fact that he is one of the strongest swordsmen in the world who accompanied Garp during the God Valley Incident inOne Piece.If Bogard was strong enough to survive something like the God Valley Incident, his holding the Strongest Swordsman title before Mihawk won’t come as a shock.
One Pieceis available to watch on Crunchyroll.
