Yes grabbing your sword as a threat and unseathing it doesn't make you a swordman. Using it to display your haki doesn't make you a swordsman either. Crackhead, give me a panel of Shanks using anything other than a sword or stfu.
Ngl, all the power in the world doesn't give Mihawk the bossy vibes that Crocodile lets off. We don't know shit about his background but he's still a contender for the best villain in OP. The dude is designed to be a boss.
Shanks is at his strongest fighting with a sword.
- Confirmed to be a highly skilled swordsman
- Was Mihawk's rival (you don't become the WSS's rival with swordsmanship as a side power)
- Conqueror swordsmen are known to imbue their swordsmanship with Haoshoku
So whatever Shanks can do without his sword, when combined with his sword, Shanks is much stronger.
not that i think in story perspective of an organization should decide what is and what isn't.... its not a Info dump from the narrator so lets not treat it like that too
unless you can prove it wrong i can take it back but even if its the case that Mihawk was WSS before his duels with Shanks then.. Shanks wasn never stated to have lost any duels nor win as well ofc
Marines would logically give more credence to Mihawk after Shanks lost his arm.. and would logical based the assumption of superiority of swordsmanship on it.
that more likely than them gaging swordsmanship through CoOLOL
How is this a difference. Shanks is at his strongest with a sword ( = swordsman). Mihawk: World's strongest swordsman. Not: The strongest in a sword duel.

Yes. Damn shame Oda didn't portay the other villains anywhere close to this level of business savvy. Should've shown Doflamingo in particular being ruthless as fuck as the underworld king but for the most part all he did was make faulty Zoan fruits for Kaido and acquire the Mera Mera.
Edit: Well, Pre TS he did show up to torture Bellamy for failing and ran the slave auction house. Guess that's pretty far up there as far as fucked things to show him doing.
Zoro's finisher was literally him hitting King with a huge haki beam channelled through his swords.
For that, he's now considered as the master swordsman of straw hats. But hey, haki and swordsmanship are unrelated skills.
Shanks have superior haki, bounty, top tier feats than mihawk, oda just use this chapter to give an edge in swordmanship which could make him look a little better, which will be also taken away soon.
Wonder if the 9 commanders will just remain in name given by morgans or if Jinbei who's a veteran will organize the crew, and they gain additional 9 ships so they will act like actual commanders.
