WB was described as the strongest, who would rank second?

[Algalon]

WB was ranked the strongest man when he was first introduced, who do you think at that time (when he was introduced) would be worthy of rank no. 2?

[Mischeif Maker]

most will say shanks or dragon but to me that is not right because we have not got anything on them yet but hype so how can you speak on it so by power shown is give number 2 to

akainu

[Naruto UzRinneganMaki]

well shanks went toe to toe with WB when they clashed their weapons.

takin on blow is nothing vompared to akainu who tanked more the one massive shot and pumped him full of magma not once but twice

wb was stronger by akainu is the only reason they killed him because we seen with ace what lava does to your inside so picture how much more powerful wb would have been if he did have that done to him 2 times

[Gooner4life]

Shanks or one of the admirals, I'm thinking Kizaru.

[Hyperion]

Garp.

I say this only because he made Marco look like Chicken shit.
I have theory - Garp has all Rokushiki, and all 3 Haki.

[Lodratio]

The is only ONE "the Strongest"

Second...? Probably Shanks. Or, maybe, just maybe, Mihawk.

Shanks
