Character Discussion One Arm Shanks is Carrying Mihawk on his Back..

[Rootbeer]

Shanks has extraordinary feats, one after another, he keeps demonstrating insane levels of might and Haki..
At this point he's doing charity work helping Mihawk to not be totally forgotten and an embarrassment on
his name for having dueled him many times in the past..

Lets review Shanks greatness worth of a real top tier..

1. Splitting the Sky with Whitebeard..

2. Destroying a part of Whitebeard's Ship with his Monstrous CoC Aura alone..

3. Clashing with another top tier Akainu and ending the Marineford War..

4. Instantly Mentally defeating Admiral Greenbull with his CoC from miles away..

5. One Shotting a 3 Billion Bounty with AdCoC..

Now Mihawk has to use Shanks' Yonko Name just to even barely remain alive..
If Shanks isn't mentioned to boost Mihawk he's irrelevant and Oda knows it..

Mihawk who is himself on '' Fraud Watch '' has to ally with another Fraud to have his Fraud Bounty
increased..

Lets not even talk about the fact that he has never clashed with a Top Tier.. His best
encounter is against YC3 Vista..

And Mihawk's only real feat is cutting a big Iceberg..

Even Zoro is starting to carry the WSS because his CoC is non existent so far..

Even Greenbull is mocking Mihawk's Black Blade..

What a Joke!..

Why don‘t u post the panel where mihawk and shanks meet and when mihawk bullies shanks by being himself calling him an „one armed has been“? Truth is Mihawk doesn‘t even see Shanks as worthy anymore to fight. It would be shameful to him to fight an handicapped bum and win.

 

[Monkey D Theories]

Oda blatantly explained Mihawk’s title. The strongest swordsman is the one with the best sword skill.

He is purely the strongest in terms of swordsmanship.

But just like the strongest boxer can still be shot to death if his opponent has a gun, being the strongest swordsman doesn’t inherently mean Mihawk can defeat characters who have significant skills beyond swordsmanship.

Sword skill is the ability to cut what you want and not cut what you don’t want.

Swordsmen who don’t use their swords to actually cut are still swordsmen, but they are less skilled than someone like Mihawk.

If Kaido replaced his club with a sword, he wouldn’t immediately become WSSM. To act like that’s all that matters literally devalues the art Mihawk and Zoro dedicate themselves to.

He doesn’t fight Shanks because Shanks doesn’t actually care about swordsmanship.

He is a swordsman, but he uses his sword for haki beams and shockwaves.

It has nothing to do with Shanks’s strength. Mihawk literally faced Vista.

The fact that Shanks has a higher bounty than Mihawk and is a yonko should give Mihawk ample incentive to take down Shanks, if they were truly rivals.

But they aren’t rivals. Shanks doesn’t care about swordsmanship. Mihawk dedicated his life to gaining the ability to cut anything. It’s what Zoro wants to be able to do.

Shanks literally doesn’t care about that and fights completely differently.

This can easily be debunked

Is that how it works in a Zoro fan brain.. Actually Shanks sneak dissed Mihawk that's why he answered like a butthurt little girl.. Shanks asked him if he came to settle the score which triggered Mihawk cause they either drew in the past or Shanks defeated Mihawk..

Wait till bro realises , it's mihawk back Shanks is riding all along.

- You need to clash with a top tier for that..
- You need to have feats for that..
- You need to have CoC for that..
- You need to not get fake hyped by Shanks for that..
- You need to one shot YC1 and not stall YC3 for that..

Almost perfect, all you need to do is to say that AdCoC isn't a Sword Skill..

- Shanks has sword
Is not a swordman, he is "hakiman"
- Shanks actually fight with his sword
Is not a swordsman, he uses sword for "haki slashes"

Zoro's dream is to become the "World Strongest Cutter"

- Shanks didn't clash with anyone till Whitebeard , was he considered a fodder before that?
- Shanks/Roger had zero feats at some point of time
- This has to be a joke lmao , If zoro has CoC , Mihawk is already confirmed to have CoC.
- It's the other way around lmao , it's shanks panels where mihawk get portrayal from everytime with mihawk being superior to Shanks everytime.

 

[NikaInParis]

Maidhawk is a feat parasite

- We're 1130 chapters in the story, Mihawk hasn't shown to clash with 1 single top tier..
- And Mihawk still has Zero feats, his best feat is riding on Shanks' back..
- Yeah Zoro is definitely carrying the WSS loser..
- The marines literally use Shanks to boost Mihawk, Mihawk has nothing going for himself..

Who hurt you this time?

 

[Rootbeer]

Very fitting L beside Mihawk's emote..

The best gotta show the last

Oda showcased Shanks CoC from the beginning of the series.. He has not once in 1130 chapter displayed Mihawk's
CoC.. The reason for that is because Mihawk CoC doesn't matter at all, Mihawk will be all about CoA.. Mihawk is not the conqueror amongst conquerors..

Sword skills are clearly defined in OP

Spoiler

It is simply a fact that while Shanks is a swordsman, swordsmanship isn’t his main power. His main power is advanced haki and he utilizes advanced haki in a way that falls outside the bounds of swordsmanship.

Swordsmanship = cut what you desire and protect what you desire

Shooting haki lightning at GB isn’t primarily a sword feat.

Divine departure, a haki shockwave, isn’t primarily a sword feat either.

Almost perfect, all you need to do is to say that AdCoC isn't a Sword Skill..

ACoC can tie into sword skill…. If you are actually using ACoC to cut

If you’re not using a sword to cut, then no matter how strong you are, you can never be WSSM. Because as Koshiro says, a master swordsman needs to be able to cut anything they desire.

If G5 Luffy picked up a sword, inflated it with awakening, and then defeated Mihawk by bashing him over the head, he wouldn’t be WSSM.

- What feat does Xebec has? Or is he a fodder too?
- Mihawk has his own portrayal lmao , the strongest Swordsman , As far feat goes , we get that soon as well. Oda now showing up everyone , Garp finally had some showings , Xebec still is featless.
- WSS Loser?
- It's the other way around lmao. Shanks whole Pre pirating era boost and hype is only due Mihawk battles lmao.

I disagree on the last part.. Shanks didn't shoot Haki Lightning at Greenbull, he manipulated his own CoC with his Blade like a magic wand, it wasn't channeled through the Blade though..

The Divine Departure are fundamentally different with Roger and Shanks.. Shanks' Kamusari is as you say not a sword feat cause he's Coating CoC around his Sword which has nothing to do with Swordsmanship.. Where as Roger attack comes directly out of the Blade..

But Shanks' advanced Haki does fall outside of the bounds of Swordsmanship..
