Questions & Mysteries How did Mihawk make a black blade and Roger couldn't??

[Karis koro]

Does that mean that Mihawk Haki is greater that Roger?? If so that means Mihawk >Roger (since Haki is an integrate part of swordsmanship and Mihawk is the strongest swordsman)

 

[zenox]

skill issue

 

[Nadel]

why Mihawk is better

 

[soultrain]

we don't know how black blades are made, but maybe it's some kind of bond with the sword. Something involving the path of the swordsman. Roger probably didn't care about any of that

 

[zenox]

Roger probably didn't care about any of that

thats a huge cope when roger is the biggest sword swallower in the op verse

That's just coping.. Roger named his sword ace after his child and you think he didn't care about that?? 😭 His sword is a supreme grade too

 

[Yoho]

Because it takes more than raw strength to blacken a blade

 

[SkySanji]

Source for Mihawk making a black blade?

And if he did, it just means he did something Roger didn't, but it isn't haki related as implied here

I've never agreed with people saying Mihawk made Night. That thing may have been around for centuries.

It's literally written Haki alone isn't enough.
Haki is a important factor. Mihawk literally explained that to Zoro.

Yeah which means it takes something other than just haki, even if Roger had top 1 haki in history, if he doesn't have whatever that other thing is he can't do it.

Top 1 haki in history is myth when WB and Garp matched him , He had to team up against Xebec.
Haki criteria keeps on growing.
The bar he set is around Kaidou level only.

I didn't say he has top 1 haki, I said "if"

Think of it as Awakening in DF.
With Haki , your Body and Mind needs to be ready for it.
Luffy awakened but Kaidou and Bigmam never did.

Mihawk loves his sword more

No coping at all. I think it would be awesome if Mihawk was just stronger than him. I'm just trying to find a reason for the black blade if that's not the case

 

[NikaInParis]

-You need two hands to blacken a sword.
-When Shanks was a kid he owned Yoru and made it black (he was 3)
-When he met Mihawk he gifted him the sword so he would have a challenge when fighting Mihawk (regular blade vs black blade)
-Then he gave his arm for Luffy, making it impossible for him to blacken another blade

I’m interested to see how Oda is going to write himself out of this black blade issue.
Haki alone can’t solve it since he’s already suggested that Roger conquered the sea with it but didn’t have a black blade.

At this point, the likeliest explanation is probably going to be something like “some esoteric skill that most just don’t care about and doesn’t make you stronger than those without anyway.”

 

[Karis koro]

Maybe Roger's Haki wasn't on that level to make it?? If oda goes that root i don't see a problem with that.. Roger was never stated to have the best Haki in the verse

As usual Mihawk/Zoro stans are all talk with no concrete proof to back up their claims of Mihawk being this great Haki master.

If anything it says the opposite about Mihawk's ability that he can't keep his blade from chipping without making it black. Clearly roger has never had that issue. It's too bad nobody has anything good to say about Mihawk's use of Haki.

Clearly it's nothing special.
