Hate to make this a warlord power level comment... But I would be lying through my teeth.

Mihawk is the strongest (too me) because he is able to challenge, and be a possible equal to Shanks. Shanks was able to force Kaido back, and still look uninjured. Even if they did or did not fight, it suggests even Kaido might be wary of Shanks. Both DD and Gecko hate and fear Kaido. So...

That's why I think Mihawk is the strongest. Kuma... Meh, he could be cut up quickly by Mihawk.

Unless the new guy is tougher.

P.S: If Mihawk doesn't have Haki (Which most likely he does have since Zoro has it in the time skip) then that would mean Buggy is stronger then Mihawk in a straight battle... As long as buggy doesn't do something REALLY dumb.
