Stephen Paul is just a translator, not Oda's spokesperson or confidant, he can't change the meaning of words.

Strength/Power = 力
Skill/Technique = 技
Nah

That's what he is trying to say

Oda uses it interchangeably and doesn't distinguish between strength and skill


Haki is a skill but it's also from where strength comes from
 
l guess Mihawk fans want to ignore that Shanks hype role will be to reveal another tier to CoC.. :kayneshrug:
No one's ignoring Shanks' hype.

It's just underneath Mihawk's in every manner possible as far as overall level is concerned. Mihawk's hype was above Shanks as per the title alone since East Blue- Shanks is part of a group called Swordsmen, and Mihawk is the strongest within that group. If Shanks could beat Mihawk, he'd be strongest.
 
He doesn't make them 100 percent direct, but if you read the dialogue of Branew, he set Shanks as the Gold standard.

The misconception is that "Buggy Rivals Shanks"

Then he turns around and says "Mihawks Swordsmanship surpasses Shanks swordsmanship."

One is thought to rival Shanks, the other surpasses his swordsmanship. Not one Rivals Shanks, and the other surpasses him.

Oda explicitly added the Swordsmanship bit in there, right after a direct strength comparison.
Buggy rivals Shanks as a pirate captain.
Mihawk rivals him as an individual (a.k.a. as swordsmen).
 
They called Buggy a rival to Shanks and then gave Mihawk the bigger bounty when he's the subordinate. They're also comparing Shanks swordsmanship to WSS, which means there is no dancing around the fact that Shanks is a swordsman. Oda legit answered Shanks vs. Mihawk for us in this chapter, and he made it as direct as possible.
Then there is no need to explicitly bring up Swordsmanship.
 
It's "basic shounen".
He's gonna be stronger than Shanks.

Do you REALLY believe Luffy won't grow stronger than Shanks?
For real? :okay:
He will be stronger than Shanks but Mihawk already is and Zoro will be too. You guys are acting like Shanks is Luffy final opponent when 99% chance he isn’t.

The way you guys should see it is EoS Luffy > Imu > Zoro > Mihawk > Shanks.

l will need to wait until Mihawk is shown that he can not use that 3rd level of CoC then..:kuzanshut:
