The Best weapon in Minecraft is not the sword OR the axe, but something entirely different.
The sword vs axe debate has been around since 1.9 dropped, axes deal more damage on hit while swords can use more enchantments. Though with a crossbow with a very specific setup you may outclass both with a setup akin to a working machine gun.

Best weapon is wooden sword with 100 strength. Nah just kidding
Firefoksa do more dmg
The weapon, at least on bedrock, is the crossbow with multishot instant harming II arrows. This setup allows you to kill any player no matter the armor. The instant harming passes through shields so I is impossible to not die to it. The only thing you can do is run.
Sword have more att power than axe somit is better
