This "Luffy is weak to swords" shit is the lamest argument I've heard as to why he'd lose against Shanks or Mihawk. Everyone is susceptible to slashes, and Luffy's weakness to it is only highlighted because he's immune to haki-less blunt damage. That doesn't stop him from using haki of his own in the form of ryuo or CoC coating to block/parry slash attacks (we literally see him doing this in base form in Chapter 1037).
Kaido uses a club and Big Mom uses a sword, but did we see Big Mom overpower Kaido because she had a sword? What about Roger and Garp and their numerous duels? Why didn't Roger beat Garp way earlier if swordsmen are so great?
