I mean shanks doesn't have to be as strong as roger just because he copies his swordsmanship
Just like yamato isn't as strong as kaido

Not really the main point of that post, but Shanks > Roger anyways

The post doesn't make much sense in general
Yes it can be vague as to what counts as a swordsman and what doesn't but Oda has never introduced a character that fights exclusively with a sword that isn't a swordsman
Occams razor. Shanks is only ever seen fighting with a sword, has a dedicated style, and is said to love his sword, so he's a swordsman.

What is Shanks’s Sword Style?

King fights with a sword most of the time, but isn’t a swordsman. Harald fights with a sword most of the time, but isn’t a swordsman

How can anyone actually disagree with this lmao?

@soupongo It’s funny how Zoro never shows any interest at all in fighting alleged “swordsmen” like Law, Big Mom, and Shanks. And before some sword swallowers come in here to cope about how “Zoro only cares about fighting the number one swordsman,” that’s just straight up false because he was interested in the Wano samurai. Why did he never show any interest in testing Law’s sword skill? Why did he show no interest in surpassing Big Mom in Wano, despite her allegedly being a swordsman? Why have Zoro and Luffy never once acknowledged that Zoro’s dream allegedly involves becoming stronger than Shanks, the man Luffy idolizes?

It's clearly inspired by Roger's style, so...
Also fighting "mostly" with a sword is different from fighting with a sword ALL THE TIME.
Shanks has only been seen using a sword since he was a child. Again, occams razor.

You can't really pull the "actually mzts is just a heckin stupid illiterate loser and we're all so much smarter and cooler than him" gimmick here when the vast majority of the fanbase agrees with me on this
I just don't understand why Oda would make Mihawk have a rivalry with a dude who's not even a swordsman. It makes more sense if Shanks is a swordsman, but what would I know?

The Law thing is pretty hillarious ngl. Oda really does not give a shit about Zolo's dream

Does Zoro even know anything about Shanks though?

And Roger doesn’t have a sword style.

His attack is just called “Divine Departure” instead of “Roger One Sword Style, Divine Departure”

Eh, if this is what makes you happy then I won't knock it.

Luffy knows that Shanks has a sword, yet he still said that “If you can’t do something as small as become WSS, then it would be embarrassing for me.”

Are we supposed to believe that Luffy is belittling his idol’s strength here? I mean it seems really weird that Luffy has never once acknowledged throughout the entire series that his RHM is also trying to surpass Shanks

Are you implying Luffy genuinely believes Shanks is the strongest person in their world

Not sure how you go that from my post, but yeah it wouldn’t surprise me if East Blue Luffy thought shanks was top 1 alive

That's not why he loves Shanks so much.

That's because Zoro is stronger than Luffy, he's going to kill Sommers which Luffy and Loki couldn't do

He believes that Shanks is very strong. He considers Shanks to be the ideal pirate, and Luffy believes that strength is an important part of being a good pirate captain

Yes but nothing suggests he believes shanks is the strongest pirate, he never reacts when he hears people call whitebeard the wsm or kaido the wsc
