"If most of your Sword fighting style is blunt damage then you're not a Swordsman in One Piece.." -Nice made up criteria, that you can't objectively prove.
How you use a sword doesn't negate being a swordsman. You kill your own statement when you say "sword fighting style" Having any sword fighting style makes you a swordsman.
"sword fighting" implies you fight with a sword. That makes you a swordsman by definition. Having a style of sword fighting = swordsmanship.
"Isn't the core principle of Swordsmanship to cut or do cutting damage?.. " In real life the sword is going to cut if you use the blade to attack with it.
But it's funny how you pick and choose when to use real world logic and apply them to One Piece. When we use the real world definition of swordsman, you start yapping and make a new criteria. "he's using a sword to fight and has a sword fighting style/swordsmanship he created but most his attacks are blunt, waaaah"
But then you choose to say a sword has to cut with the bladed edge to be swordsmanship. Because that is the only thing a swordsman with the bladed edge of a sword can do in real life.
But in real life haki doesn't exist, so of course there is no other option when using the bladed edge of a sword. You're going to cut.
But in One Piece (Not sure if you read) you can manipulate through haki how you attack with a sword, which is why swordsman can choose when to cut or not cut things, this is achieved through ryuou/haki. This is all explicitly stated on the manga, but when roger does it you start crying.
You're a decent troll (I hope you're trolling, because the other option would be quite bleak) that always uses ellipses at the end of their sentence..
Lets see what kind of braindead response you make to this..
So I can laugh at you..

Swordsmanship, or Bladesmanship is to cut or have the intent to cut with the Sword's Edge..
If someone's main fighting style is using a Gun but they never shoot with it, only Pistol whip their opponents, are they a Gunslinger?..
We've been over this, it said Rocks' Sword Skill, not his Swordsmanship as whole..
I don't know why you keep lying about this, it's like Erkan who keeps saying it's World '' Greatest '' Swordsman, instead of the actual proper translation World Strongest Swordsman..
Most of Zoro's Sword fighting style is cutting, that's the point..
Roger's main fighting style is Blunt Damage, so it's not Swordsmanship, it goes against everything that Swordsmanship stands for..
Bro what are we doing..
Even Koshiro's teaching is about to cut and cut nothing, but it's always about cutting.. The Blade is what matters..
A Flying Slash produced from the Bladed Edge of a Sword will always cut, Haki or not.. That's why when we're speaking of Swordsmanship in One Piece we're really more speaking of '' Bladesmanship ''.. Swords don't matter, Blades do..
I don't troll, that's why i believe there's a Door in front of Franky on the Mural..

Oda made it clear in the manga that King and Daz Bones weren't swordsmen because they had other fighting techniques besides swords.
By the same logic,
Oda wouldn't call Roger and Shanks swordsmen because they use shockwaves instead of cuts
It's quite clear that a character can use swords, but if their fighting style isn't based on slicing their opponent, then Oda would never call that character a swordsman.

Deflecting.. Swordsmanship is cutting..
What about Roger not willing to cut Rocks because his attack was long range while being in close range like Garp..
At least we agree it was a long range attack..
Rocks is famous for his unique Sword Skill, not for his blunt Damage, which Mihawk or anyone else couldn't replicate..
I can answer your question if you respond to mine.. Is Rocks' main Sword fighting style Blunt Damage?..

Source?
I’m gonna keep asking for a source everytime you just say this. And yes I know you don’t have a source and yet I will keep asking for one
Like how Zoro has used long range attacks in melee range as I showed you
What? What the hell are you talking about?
Replicate? What?
Rocks’ famous for his blunt force damage.

Kouzaburo mentioned that Katanas are made to cut people.. Swordsmanship's core is cutting, it's not up for debate..
I explained the difference before you didn't acknowledge it.. Or are you claiming that Zoro's Blade didn't physically cut Hacchi before sending him fly in the air?..
Exactly as i said it.. Rocks is famous for his unique Sword Skill, not for his blunt Damage, which Mihawk or anyone else couldn't replicate..
That doesn't answer the question.. Is Rocks' main Sword fighting style, Blunt Damage?..

And Kouzaburo’s son says the opposite
How is it not a debate when characters in the story say different things
also I love how you don’t consider things like Parrying, Blocking, ripostes, spacing, agility, haki as part of swordsmanship. Somehow everything else that Zoro does that’s not cutting is suddenly not Swordmanship. Incredible
the reason Roger’s sword didn’t hit Rocks was because it physically wasn’t close enough to hit rocks. And the reason Zoro’s swords hit Hachi is because he was physically close enough for that
and in both cases both characters do long range attacks while in melee range.
What the fuck are you saying? His “unique sword skill” is a blunt force attacks
And what the hell does Mihawk have to do with this? Are you making some kind of point with mihawk
Rocks doesn’t have a “sword fighting style”. He doesn’t call out a sword style in his attack names
What we know is that he is famous for blunt force attacks. So I would say yes, he is famous for the thing he uses the most. I mean in his fight with Harald he only used blunt force attacks
