Bro I’m saying you’re holding Shanks to a higher standard than King and expecting him to do more to prove he’s not a swordsman than King had to. The Cthulhu thing was an obvious hyperbole
And this is pure nonsense because Oda has shown him fight with a sword every single time we've seen him fight or even prepare to fight. Even when he was, what, 11? 13? He was shown fighting with two swords alongside Buggy.
He has NEVER been shown fighting WITHOUT a sword. So when you claim that he ISN'T a swordsman, the burden of proof is completely on you, because the manga and anime have shown him primarily fighting with a sword EVERY SINGLE TIME HE'S FOUGHT.
I feel like it kinda has to be at least semi-inheritable since it would be the craziest coincidence ever if Garp -> Dragon -> Luffy all have it and it's just a chance
Almost half of the CoC users are related I don't really think that's an accident. You also have to remember that the BMP's could have more latent CoC users they don't know about
I agree that the "requirement" for it is bs though. Oda gives it to whatever character he wants whenever he wants
Yeah it can be, but Oda's just weird about it is all I'm saying. He needs to clarify a little more
