Powers & Abilities Xebec used a slash, not a “shockwave”

#87
To do what with ?
Xebec has all those too only used swordsmanship
Punch kick
Rayleigh and kizaru also use swords but doesn’t seem they’re limited to just that alone
He would have had anything he got from marejois when he was fighting mihawk so irrelevant point.
Sword fight =/= a normal fight

Fruitless Blackbeard also fought a young shanks but actually left a scar


Wanna bet your pfp for 6 months that Shanks isn't a swordsman
People still argue king is one despite zoro and himself not claiming to be so no

Also I don’t care what picture you use

But you're implying that he'll just drop the sword to start kickboxing or he'll have a DF in his sword
So per the rules of our bet if he does either of those I'll admit he's not a swordsman. And even if I pussyfoot around the point and claim he's still a swordsman, I'd still lose the bet. I'm humble enough to keep my word, are you?

Mihawks probably gonna have some fcked up eye power thingy and I’m gonna just start claiming he isn’t a swordsman. You know what, why do we limit Mihawk to swordsmanship? This dude probably got some sort of power beyond swordsmanship lowkey

But if swordsmanship is your most powerful ability - which it wasn't in King's case - other abilities don't matter. If Mihawk is superior to whatever Zoro's swordsmanship can produce (Shishi Sonson, Dragon Damnation, Asura, amped by ACoC), then giving Zoro King's lava-like Dragon won't tip the scales either. Mihawk won't lose to a flame dragon if he is strong enough to defeat Zoro's Asura.

Same goes for Xebec. He doesn't have a Devil Fruit or fancy abilities, just a sword and Haki to use both shockwaves and cuts. We also know Shanks had access to Kamusari before being rival to Mihawk, so Mihawk accepted a rival with shockwave based abilities.

I believe @Salah WG pointed it out too; characters are basically as strong as their strongest move. If a sword users strongest move or ability is related to swordsmanship, then it doesn't really matter what else he is capable of.
Swordsmanship is Defined by People, it basically means "Any Peformance involving a Sword",
Swordsmanship is like showcasing what is Possible to do with a Sword,

If Zoro sticks his Swords to a Huge Rock & Attack you with it, that's still Swordsmanship,
If Jean Ango throws a Sword at you, that's still Swordsmanship,
If Cabaji spins his Sword at the Ground to create a Dust Cloud, that's still Swordsmanship,
If Brook channels & releases his Soul through his Sword, that's still Swordsmanship,
If Law controls his Sword from a Distance & make it Attack Someone, that's still Swordsmanship,
If Big Mom swings her Sword at Hera/Prometheus to shoot their Combined Energy, that's still Swordsmanship,
If Shanks channels his Haki through his Sword, that's still Swordsmanship,
If Shamrock's Sword transforms into Three instead, that's still Swordsmanship,
If Tashigi let's a Cannon Ball land on her Sword so She can redirect it, that's still Swordsmanship,
... etc

Swordsmanship isn't a Fixed Set of Techniques, it simply refers to People's Preference of using Sword as Medium in performing whatever Task,
"Anything" that can be done with a Sword, can also be done without, even Cutting can be done with Legs or Hand Chops, and thanks to Haki, you also don't need a Sword to Clash with anything,

So, when does it become Swordsmanship? Simply when you choose to do those things through a Sword, that's all.
Meaning it's not about what you Produced, it's about which Weapon was used to carry that Production, as Simple as that.
Being Greatest Swordsman means that what Mihawk can Produce (What Fuels his Fighting-Style) is Top 1,

Why don't you just admit that you don't like Mihawk and the idea that he's probably stronger than Shanks, but instead keep writing all this nonsense like "pure swordsman, no cuts, hidden powers, kicks/punches" etc for years?

Most people dislike certain characters, but this weird obsession of yours doesn't even make sense.
Is it some kind of fetish or something?

Why is Kaku not “more skilled at swordsmanship” than Shanks?
Same reason as king
Kaku has shown to be able to cut iron or even send flying slashes outside of his kicks. Man doesn’t even use his swords much or really even have sword attacks
King is arguably more skilled because he can at least coat his sword in hardening meaning he can at least cut iron
He can at least cut iron

You notice how you didn’t definitively say mihawk is stronger than shanks and had to say probably?
Even you understand that Shanks’s hype portrayal and feats are significantly better. Even you understand that oda saying shanks stronger is possible. That he went out his way to clarify king isn’t a swordsman despite using a sword and only highlighted mihawk’s sword skill being better instead of just outright saying he’s stronger overall

I know your not that stupid to the point that you believe shanks someone who lived in the holy land, has a twin brother with a sword called Cerberus that can become one, and with shanks also having a sword named after a mythical creature is 100% just a coincidence


I don’t have a problem admitting mihawk is a loser that mihawk is a loser that couldn’t make it in the new world and had to join under the world government for protection. Then after that he partnered up with crocodile for protection after being kicked off his island helping him with his utopia plan. Then after that was okay hiding behind buggy’s shadow but ironically needed the clown to motivate him along with the rest of the losers who couldn’t survive the new world giving up their dreams to help him go after the one piece
Me calling mihawk a loser is nothing new but I know for a fact that you know oda having shanks be stronger is more likely than you’d like

I have them equal at worst or Mihawk is 0.1% stronger.

It's fine if you think Shanks is stronger, all I'm saying is that you keep writing all this weird nonsense about pure swordsmen, hidden powers, not cutting or whatever for years, when you know deep down that it doesn't make sense.

Bruh it's agenda.

Everyone knows Shanks is golden boy of Oda and he's bound to get massive portrayal and perhaps even feats. His ceiling as of now is unknown but we know oda will wank him to the moon before he falls to BB.


But at the same time, shanks is a swordsman and he's from the same gen as Mihawk.

Shanks fans do realize that just wanking shanks isn't enough. They need to come up with something that proves shanks doesn't come under Mihawk WSS title

This is necessary because no matter how much shanks get wanked, people can always bring up Mihawk WSS title to portray him over Shanks.

All this headcannon isn't some fetish by them... it's actually quite clever on their part to keep coming up with all these stuffs to have Shanks outside of Mihawk WSS title.
