2 of the Strongest DF's in the world yes.. But strongest man in the world? nope
He absolutely is and has no contention from anybody with any credible feats. There might be a few characters that are stronger (Shanks, Railey, Kaido, Dragon) but we cannot determine that since none of them have really done anything outside of stopping a strong attack. With the Yami-Yami no Mi and the Gura-Gura no Mi alone, Teach is and/or will be the strongest character in the series. He might even get another fruit for all we know. I don't think there should be any dispute that Teach is the strongest. What makes you say that he's not?
Kaido is the strongest living thing in he world dude. That puts him above Teach.
So like did you miss the part where I said he has no credible feats or...? Kaido has endurance feats and that's it. Surviving executions and a jump from Sorajima are definitely noteworthy, but we are talking about strength. Teach almost sunk Marineford the first time he used the Gura-Gura no Mi. Plus his Yami-Yami no Mi is incredibly useful and strong against other fruit users. By canon actions, I don't think anybody is currently above Teach in terms of strength.
What part of him being the strongest living thing in the world did you not understand? That puts him above Teach.
Oda isn't as inconsistent as Kishi. There is no reason for Oda to lie about Kaido.
What feats are that?..
You do realize that all 3 of those happened pre-Gura, right? WB was the strongest man in the world. Now Teach has his fruit PLUS another fruit that is quite OP. Plus he is part of the D family with a body noted to be "irregular." I just don't see where the dispute comes in.
Gura gives no boost in reflexes, speed or durability, yet Pre skip Luffy managed to hurt him to the extent it was bothering him.
He didn't see Luffy's attack coming. A hit from an enraged gear 2nd Luffy wouldn't be taken too lightly by many people. I will once again reiterate that WB was the strongest man in the world. It is no surprise that he made Teach look like a ***** at that time. Teach definitely was overconfident and careless. Before the timeskip, I agree with everything you've said. However, 2 years later it is almost stupid to say he wouldn't be the strongest. There is a reason that he is a Yonko. Apparently he has an alliance with Aokiji who, 2 years ago, could've easily killed him. Only way Teach will really get stronger now is if he gets a 3rd fruit.
