Powers & Abilities Zoro's sword skills didn't change much since his debut

#23
Its a fucking garbage example that completely ignores my point.
Using "He hasn't shown CoC" arguments to downplay the idea that mihawks CoC is above Shanks and swordsmanship is about CoC is nonsense since Mihawk has never been fleshed out.

But the swordsman that has been fleshed out and is actively trying to surpass Mihawk has his latest fighting style all about CoC.

Give an example that's comparable like rocks or Garp or at worst dragon to use people whose stature is comparable to mihawk. Not a pathetic no body like sanji with no ambition and value to the world.
:suresure:
You literally debunk your entire post with your first line: "He hasn't shown CoC" arguments to downplay the idea that mihawks CoC is above Shanks and swordsmanship is about CoC is nonsense since Mihawk has never been fleshed out"

You're completely right, why are you making up silly head canon to justify your agenda when these characters like Shanks, Mihawk, Garp, and Dragon haven't been fleshed out? My entire point with the Sanji example is that if I claim Sanji has CoC without any evidence, than it is a completely imaginary claim, which is exactly what your head canon is all about. Maybe Mihawk doesn't have CoC, but I'm not making that claim because I have no evidence to prove he doesn't, just like I have evidence the proves Mihawk has CoC. I believe Mihawk probably has CoC, but until his CoC is revealed in the story, I'm not going to go blabber about some made-up nonsense.

Then don't use CoC as a bullshit mean to discredit mihawk and pretend like Shanks CoC is a difference maker and makes him not a swordsman when Zoro has CoC too and Zoros growth as a swordsman is all about Haki.

If Zoros Growth is all about Haki and Zoro is trying to surpass Mihawk..doesn't it mean you need to grow Haki more than anything else to surpass Mihawk? @Red Admiral

How strong would Mihawk be with Haki?
Alabasta Zoro if I'm generous

What Shanks did in Wano looks like some special haki that is reserved by Oda to skill-less bitches like Shanks, Rayleigh and Roger because they can't fight for shit. Still not enough to close the gap with Mihawk though.

Shanks not only has ACoC but also has an impressive showing for his CoC. I'm not trying to discredit Mihawk, but until Mihawk is a confirmed CoC user, then I will be using Shanks as a marker for haki.

Nice head-canon.

I'll give you an example on the FishMan Karate

Jinbe deflected Hodies water shot with his own. Despite enormous strength, Hodies FishMan Karate was at a novice level. That is why Jinbe could easily deflect it. Because he has better skill in FMK then Hodi, who uses only the power gained from steroids and novice level FMK.

If you really think, that Zoro didn't improve(much) his technics since start, that is not sound good. I hope that is just a joke.
All types of skill-based techniques have different skill levels. From beginner to master. Swordsmanship, Rokushiki, FMK etc. The same techniques were performed by different characters at different levels. Even without Haki. Luffy, Zoro and Sanji have learned Haki, but they have also greatly improved their skills.

Sanji also uses the same techniques as in the beginning, but does anyone say that they are at the same level as in the beginning? Or is Usopp's shooting skill at the same level and has not improved at all?
What kind of agenda you are trying to push here?:luffywat:

So its confirmed Shanks has stronger Haki than Rocks and Garp as well?

It makes sense
What role can that Nuru Massage Haki do besides giving someone a quick stimulation?

Well most things are headcanon but one can speculate.
Let's examine Whitebeard and Roger and how their fights ended on equal terms:
1. Their haki clashes equally.
2. Wb is a monster in physical strength (look at Weevil erasing towns)
3. Wb lost a third of his head to magma without reacting then split the island (not to mention heart attack and previous injuries) then stomped Blackbeard, easily top endurance. That's old Wb too not prime.
4. Supreme blade
5. The most powerful paramecia that can level the world

There's nothing for Roger that puts him remotely close from Wb besides
1. Haki that clashes equally
2. Supreme blade

You can argue that Wb doesn't use Gura to its full potential to avoid harm to his crew but still
So there has to be something besides the haki that clashed equally with Wb, something similiar to CoO killer

Maybe, but since we're going into complete speculation, it could be the next level of ACoC, perhaps the ability to control the weather itself (such as when a wave took out Shiki's fleet before it could attack Roger's ship) although that's my own theory.

So you pulling shit out of your behind to assign to Shanks but you telling me I am arguing with head canon lmao?
 
#35
Then why you saying mihawk has inferior haki than Shanks?
I didn't, or at least I didn't mean it like that - I meant that since Mihawk has yet to be revealed with CoC, Shanks will obviously by default have superior CoC.

:milaugh::milaugh::milaugh:
I literally stated that it was my own head canon and it was in no way fact. Stop lying.

No that's not how it works
Yamato has shown CoC and Garp hasn't so Yamato doesn't have by default stronger CoC than Garp.

We have to go by Hype.
Mihawks belongs in Kingly ambition group with Roger.
Shanks is a mere Yonko a title mihawk spits on.

If his ambition is below Mihawk his CoC by default is below Mihawk even if Oda hasn't revealed Mihawks CoC yet.

It probably makes sense anyways best comes last
 
#38
Just because a technique isn't completely reworked doesn't mean it's not greatly refined overtime. It's the same technique but it fundamentally preforms better than pre-TS version, even without haki.
Because of astronomical gap in strength lol
Oni Giri is technique Zoro had it for years. He created it.

Then he used his post time skip amped up stats to add insane power to it

Then CoA to make it even stronger
Then CoC

She does, until Garp's CoC is revealed.

Hype only works if we have certain information about a character. Since we have no information regarding Mihawk's CoC, we cannot base any assumptions off his CoC.

If his ambition is below Mihawk his CoC by default is below Mihawk even if Oda hasn't revealed Mihawks CoC yet.
Again, making assumptions about Mihawk's yet-to-be-revealed-CoC.

How do you scale fundamentally. If Baratie Zoro learns these refined movements and gets shisui, does he cut Pica without haki?

Here's what we have:
1. He's defniitely stronger than Oden, since it would be dumb if Zoro doesn't surpass him after he beats Mihawk
2. He fought for years against CoC user Shanks
3. He's Zoro's final opponent so it would be even dumber than first point if he doesn't have it
4. He is the WSS, challenged multiple people to reach this postion and invites new swordmasters to beat him
