To be honest it is not very clear as to what happened really.. There was even some sort of explosion?..
Need more info or insight about the scene..

 

[Mr. Reloaded]

Just wait till Shanks vs Blackbeard. Then they’ll see

 

[Chaves]

Only mentally retarded people who've had their brains corrupted by Zorotardism are the ones who think that Shanks fits the established criteria of ''swordsmanship''

Shanks, like Roger, beat their opponents by shooting haki, they don't use cutting skills, anyone who doesn't understand this should at least go back to elementary school

@Pringles When did you change to Camp Mihawk? I remember debating you after the Cross Guild chapter... back when you had an Escanor? avi

I question myself constantly and I try to understand the other party. I'm still having second thoughts though but it's clear that what we have right now indicates that Mihawk > Shanks

I respect that
Though even when users disagree about who is (slightly) stronger, at the very least we all can agree that both are extremely relative.

That's the most important thing to keep in mind. Whatever the conclusion, they are very similar.

"Shooting haki", ffs you are retarded

I'm definitely not a Zoro or Mihawk fan (I respect them and appreciate them but I don't enjoy them as other fans) and I love Shanks.

However, the title is "the strongest among all swordsmen". It doesn't matter what you do with your sword. If you are a swordsman, you are by definition weaker than Mihawk.

Zoro and Mihawk and Oden and Scabbards and EVERYONE shoot haki with their swords

Maybe look at it as the pinnacle of swordsmanship lol a sword user can cut but if they choose not to cut and that force is met with opposition ie kidds rail gun then that slice has no choice but to go through it even if it’s not a symmetrical cut

That is the same mindset of those claiming Zoro and Sanji are extremely relative.. They are not..

Zoro > Sanji
Shanks > Mihawk

 

[.Charm.]

Zoro and Mihawk and Oden and Scabbards and EVERYONE shoot haki with their swords

sure

 

[ConquistadoR]

Zoro > Sanji
Shanks > Mihawk

Worlds Strongest Swordsman > Swordsman Shanks.

Zoro & Sanji is something separate from this.

Any Yonko > WSS

Swordsmanship is not the pinnacle of Haki..

 

[Mr. Reloaded]

Shanks > Mihawk

In a kickboxing match? Yeah probably.

 

[ConquistadoR]

Any Yonko > WSS

Swordsmanship is not the pinnacle of Haki..

Look man, I'll be real with you.
You're right, I'm wrong.
So please leave me alone and never quote me again.
I just don't have it in me to go toe-to-toe over a debate with someone as great as you.

 

[Rootbeer]

In a kickboxing match? Yeah probably.

Swordsman Haki path to WSS =/= Swordsman Haki path to Pirate king

 

[Mr. Reloaded]

Any Yonko > WSS

Based off what? Copium?

Swordsmanship is not the pinnacle of Haki..

So what was Roger? Fraudulent?
