@Shanal weren't you arguing here with someone that said that DJ doesn't increase the speed of Sanji's attacks?
I've explained the difference in adv CoC clearly, if you can't understand I'm not going to explain again, you are a lost cause.
Lucci isn't a brawler he is a martial artist. Sanji is a martial artist too. Luffy is a brawler, Shanks and Roger are brawlers who also use weapons.
Shanks is portrayed as stronger than Mihawk, while Mihawk has the title of WSS, that is all you need to know to undestand Shanks is not a pure swordsman.
The primary portrayal of Shanks is actually his CoC haki, not his swordsmanship, from the seaking initially in the very first chapter, to breaking WB's ship passively, to using adv CoC to split the sky against WB, to using CoC to passively knock out Coby while defending against Akainu.
Zoro hasn't used a kick or anything aside from his swords except out of desperation/ gag. He doesn't have a named kick attack and it isn't part of his fighting STYLE.

Hell, even Adv.CoA acts like a barrier between your attacks but having it doesn't make you weaker as a swordsman.
Haki is part of your swordsmanship and can boost your AP. Haki is just like speed, attack or strength, CoC included. Quit deluding yourself- there's a reason why Kaido said only the strongest use it, not "only the strongest brawlers." There's a reason why Whitebeard used it with a sharp top 12 blade. There's a reason why Roger used it on a blade. There's a reason why Shanks has it despite using a blade. It boosts attack of blades.
Shanks doesn't have a portrayal over Mihawk when canonical resource straight up says "Mihawk is waiting for someone stronger than Shanks to beat him." But that's a debate for another time. Point remains, that punching or kicking doesn't disqualify you from a swordsman and neither does having haki- even implying that is absolutely ridiculous.
