Guess who else is a pirate? The strongest swordsman
Guess who else isn't a ''great'' pirate like Shanks? ''greatest swordsman''. Shanks is proven he can be great pirate, Mihawk is not proven he can be great pirate.
Mihawk has no ambition to be King or Emperor, he just wants to be Warlord, while Shanks has much bigger ambitions, ambitions = haki.
Roger despite using a sword and being equal to WB (who Mihawk admitted inferiority), wasn't WGS.
How about you give me a panel of Shanks fighting without a sword?
We didn't see Shanks fighting a lot. So your argument is invalid.
Explain why Roger wasn't WGS when he was equal to Mihawk's superior WB.
Does Shiryu play by the rules or hyouzou or Hachi? Shut up clown
They don't play by the rules clown ass, thats why ''greatest swordsman'' is a very very limited title compared to ''strongest man or creature''. You need to play by the rules to be ''greatest swordsman'', while strongest man or creature can be strongest by using any method, its not based on 1 fighting style.
