By growing stronger than MIHAWK. Something no swordsman including Saint Shanks has done yet.
Once again this is a nonsensical argument because I can use your stupid phrase "Mihawk is WSS so therefore he is stronger than any swordsman so he can't lose" and you either have to agree that Zoro will never beat Mihawk or that the title is worthless.

This chapter literally confirmed that the only thing Mihawk is stronger than Saint Shanks is "swordsmanship". Oda literally had to add the "swordsmanship" line instead of saying "Mihawk is stronger than Saint Shanks"

That's true, but swordmanship means swordmanship. If Saint Shanks has a special "Haki ability", which is implied in the movie, then the superiority of Mihawk in terms of swordmanship doesn't necessarily mean he is stronger overall
Isn't this Saint Shanks Haki uga buga argument over after Oda revealed a poster of the most important swordsmen in the show?

YES! Saint Shanks is there too!
 
This is playing on words.

Saint Shanks' skill is Swordsmanship.

Haki is connected to swordsmanship because weapon is a way to channel your Haki.

Just like Sanji channels his haki thru kicks, swordsmen do it with sword.

Guess Sanji is one of the better Martial artist not a strong YC???
my hakiman is growing stronger

:steef:
 
Let out the trolling aside

Do you really think Mihawk can beat Roger ?

Do you think titles are absolute ?

COC was always the most hyped powers and each time Saint Shanks appear he is making a COC showtime.

Straw hats are extremely important and the only one having them for 2 are the former pirate king, the future one and Saint Shanks

Saint Shanks is related to Luffy

Mihawk and Saint Shanks are rivals and I think extremely close and it will be extreme diff, but from what we have I can’t see Saint Shanks losing. The narrative doesn’t go that way
Mihawk being above Saint Shanks doesn't mean he is above Roger.
And truly bro Mihawk is called the greatest like Maradona or Pelé of all swordsmen that means for he is the strongest swordsmen that ever lived. Zoro want be the GOAT of swordsmen.

Zoro has literally the strongest power of this manga : COC and adv.COC.
For me titles are absolute yes. Wb, Kaido and Mihawk have the title of being the strongest.
Roger was Wb's rival, Oden was Kaido's fierced rival and Saint Shanks was Mihawk's fierced rival.

All great people but the world strongest titles are WSM, WSC and WSS.
PK is not really a title of strenght. Because it means you are the king of pirates only. So any other persons, anyone from navy or WG, RA can still be stronger than Roger.
Luffy's dream is PK and not the WSC or WSM.
 
Swordsmanship. It's not that complicated. Mihawk is the WSS. Prior to this chapter, it was not known of Saint Shanks or him won their duels, but this chapter at least makes it clear he is the better Swordsman, which is...obvious lol


So the question really boils down to: is Saint Shanks' prowess only related to Swordsmanship? We can see he made an Admiral run purely from Haki alone, but he's only actually fought with a sword
I guess that question will be up to Oda.

For the record, I have no issues with Mihawk being stronger or a better swordsman lol, its really irrelevant to my conversations about Saint Shanks. What I care more about is his goals and potential antagonism. If he is as complex as Oda insinuates he is, and has an established conflict with Luffy, I could care less if he's the next person to go down or the last. I just want a good character lol.

Zoro vs Mihawk is 100% Zoro's last fight. The REAL question is....who's Luffy's?
I agree with you I guess
