You won't be able to reply to me but i will do it anyways lols
You don't become a swordsman by picking up a sword when you're 25+ years old in your journey!
Just like Linlin who picked up her sword for the sake of it, Roger didn't pick up Ace cause he was a swordsman, it was just for the sake of it.
Yes in a story about dreams you can do anything you want. Age matters not. Look at Helemppo. He was a worthless crap and now he uses 2 blades.
How did u you know that Roger picked up a Supreme Grade Sword for the Sake of it? Give me the story you have read. Because for all we know. We have 0 context here.
You really think Oden would boast himself having the strongest sword style if Roger was a swordsman? If Roger had the strongest sword style?
Why wouldn't Oden boast himself of having the Strongest Sword Style? Oden is a CoC user so of course he believes in himself. And if he lived on you bet your ass hes gonna surpass Roger lol. If he was able to survive an encounter against a Prime Roger at that age what kind of peak was he going to be. Kaido have put Oden who came back several time stronger after his whole journey at the same lvl of Roger and WB.
So yeah sorry to break it you but Oden is a Conqueror and every CoC we met always think highly of themselves.
Roger doesn't even attack like a swordsman. His attacks aren't traditional cutting/slashing moves!
He prefer overpowering than cutting someone down!
That is exactly it LMAO.. How many attacks of Roger did we witness? 1.
Having a Supreme Blade and being able to use an attack without cutting speaks highly of his Swordsmanship LOL. Because if he wasn't
a swordsman of high skill he wouldn't have been able of not cutting Oden.
No swordsman in this story became a swordsman when they're old or during prime!
All of them started swordmanship when they were kids : Law, Ryuma, Mihawk, Vista, Oden, Zoro, Tashigi, etc...
Ok and how do we know when Roger started using a Sword? And again why not? Just look at Koby and Helemplo they weren't kids when they learned how to fight.
Oda usually hype swordsman with cutting feats :
Ryuma cutting a dragon, Law cutting a mountain, Zoro cutting Golem Pica, Mihawk cutting the iceberg, Oden cutting (scarring) Kaido and the mountain boar etc...
These feats are hyped in Zoro novels or sbs or magazines. And these guys clearly claim being swordsman or Oda clearly states it in the manga/sbs (sometimes novels/databooks)
Where's Roger's cutting feat them?
What's his sword style?
Who told you he was trained or trained himself in swordmanship?
Him not cutting Oden using a Supreme Blade is a cutting feat of "cutting nothing" that only high skilled Swordsman can do.
And we have only seen 1 attack so there is nothing to go off from here.
No one told anyone anything. We have a guy who we seen using a Swords in every panel he appears in except when he met Rayleigh.
Then we learned he uses that sword to attack with replicating a feat Zoro learned the hard way. Then we got an info that he holds a Supreme Blade.
From that we can safely assume that he is a Swordsman. Now tell us how do you know he isn't using facts and story info.
you dont got from brawler to Swordsman /sniper
Every admiral know swordmanship yet they aren't swordsmen
Most people use swords yet they aren't swordmen
Being a swordsman is when one consider themselves to be one and are trained in swordmanship
So you know something about Roger we don't? Can you confirm that he was a Brawler or a Sniper Gunman or whatever? I want to know. Really i want to know.
Admirals trained in Swordsmanship which makes them Swordsman but they chose to fight the way they want. Like Big Mom.
Roger is like Linlin : didn't train swordmanship, they just picked up elbaf techniques ("divine" moves are from elbaf, skypean or lunarian tribes) and other moves to suit themselves. **(This also explains why Shanks loves elbaf a lot, Roger provably used to hang there a lot too)**
Both Roger and Linlin only picked up weapons to channel their haki and that's it.
How do you know that Roger didn't train Swordsmanship? we don't know but from what we have seen we safely can assume he is a Swordsman. And why would you think Big Mom didn't Train in Swordsmanship?
Let me open your eyes here. Channeling their Haki and throwing "Air bars" is a sign of learning how to use that "weapon" to be able to channel whatever energy they use.
Just like who? Trafalgar Law. A dude who carries a Sword around but can fight without it.
