Questions & Mysteries So Shanks and Roger are no swordsmen but have named sword attacks?

Linlin has tons of attacks with her sword and she's not a swordsman

Also being a swordsman =/= being weaker than Mihawk

You can have less sword skills than Mihawk and still be superior to him
Okay and why did Shanks even bother to have countless duels with Mihawk in the past? Why would Mihawk even consider dueling a non swordsman such as Shanks? And why wouldn‘t Mihawk want to settle the score with one armed shanks? Fun part, shanks asked mihawk first if he wants to settle the score. Shanks is a swordsman and Mihawk stands atop of all swordsmen.

  • Literally reaches for his sword in every potential combat situation.
  • Never used another style on panel < shouldn't even have been a question after this point
  • Has swords on his Jolly Roger like Zoro would.
  • Had a duel with the current stongest swordsman that even someone like WB took note of and is bascially what first comes to mind when talking to Shanks.
  • Uses a named attack that he learned from another guy who loved his sword so much he named his kid after it
  • When Brannnew(who seems to be in the know) thinks about highest levels of swordsmanship in the world, Shanks is the name that he comes up with.
The fandom that shares a single braincell: "Shanks is not a swordsman"

This fandom is one of the worst when it comes to powerscaling. No fucking way there's a good amount of people actually arguing the guy who is always seen fighting with a sword (even since he was a kid) actually isn't a swordsman at all
How does he even fight if he's not a swordsman?
He is just a little guy with a sword

If Mihawk is so strong and every sword user is a swordsman then why Mihawk never beaten Bigmom or Fujitora etc... It is a titşe based on skill.
That's not true

Only a Baboon would think that way, I always see the same orangutans on this website hating on mihawk religiously.

Obviously you need inhumane strength to do what Mihawk does, like Wielding Yoru the way he does. The sword doesn't make the man, that's why a swordsman has to forge his own black blade himself.

And if you take vivre cards, Vista's swordsmanship is said to be on par with Mihawks, but only Mihawk is called the WSS, so there is a clear distinction in strength. Hence why he's the strongest and not Vista.

Difference between sword style and using a sword
Devine departure or elbaf spear aren’t sword swordsmen techniques
Yeah Elbaf spear and divine departure are both COC techniques, they are not cutting techniques. Though Elbaf spear seems to be a spear technique, divine departure didn't cut Oden at all.

Both of those techniques are just like Zoro's wave hawk, non-cutting shockwave technique. Zoro has used non-cutting shockwave techniques since pre TS.

Claiming they're not swordsman because they use a non-cutting shockwave technique doesn't work.

For when they next reply with "Shanks could do DD with a different weapon so he isn't a swordsman and DD isn't a sword technique"

It’s not apart of a sword style zoro, oden, cavendish, etc have sword styles

Using a sword to attack isn’t the same as using a sword technique. Franky isn’t a swordsman

Why then Shanks is the greatest Mihawk rival and was used as benchmark for swordsmanship to hype Mihawk?
How is that possible if his fighting style is not based on swordsmanship?
