Let's get the facts. Does the Navy consider Shanks a top swordsman? I think so, because they set Shanks against the background of Mihouk's swordsmanship. (Not vista reilly gandhi zoro shiryu ) namely Shanks. That is, apparently, according to the fleet, Shanks is a top 2 swordsman. We go further. The first fencing lesson from mihouk is Zoro haki training. In vano, all top swordsmen use goken and own ryuo. Zoro rocked in vano and khaki and kv2. The swordsman's top skill appears to be a black blade. Zoro also pumps strength, among other things. That is, Zoro shakes both khaki and acoc and wants a black blade and fizu for the title of the Strongest Swordsman. As the said marine mihouk > swordsman Shanks. Shanks is a top 2 swordsman. Fencing based on zoro is not sword techniques but techniques + a lot of things (haki, acoc, black blade). Mihawk could become a yonko, but he doesn't want to. Mihouk's solo award is compatible with Shanks. You are welcome. ONE FUCKING ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF SHANKS = MIHAWK. SHANKS>MIHAWK. ONE FUCKING ARGUMENT BESIDES GROWTH
