Any sword technique can be performed with any blade. Heck, Zoro was performing sword techniques bare handed.



Being a swordsman just means, you are at your strongest with swords and can most effectively utilize those techniques using a sword. Shanks with his beloved blade Gryphon > Shanks with an axe.

Good for zoro

Still an elbaf move
Not a cutting move

It's kinda funny that after years of Swordsmen v. Hakiman discussions.... Shanks, his adoptive dad, his evil bio-dad and his brother all fight with their swords like Zoro does.

Swordsmanship is probably the mandatory thing to learn in their family line, they probably pride themselves on it too.

They must have honour duels, like if someone offends you, nobles can dual amongst themselves to settle matters. That's how it was done in matters of court/parliament politics, they even fought over lawsuits for example.

Nobles were trained in swordsmanship at a young age, it was just a standard, they'd go to swordsmanship school to undergo tutelage. That being said I'm curious as to how Garling/Shamrock view someone like Mihawk, especially if he has ties to marejois/celestials and just how prominent swordsmanship seems to be.

Marines are trained in swordsmanship but that's more of a militaristic style it would seem, rather than the duelling format nobles would have adopted.

If we're lucky we'd get something like this touched upon in an sbs, seeming as someone might ask why shanks, shamrock and garling all wield swords

Look at the panel again, Shanks cut his railgun cleanly in half with Kamusari.

He spared Kid.

There is a compromise here. Shanks shattered the weapon and Kidd, Killer, their ship, horizontally. “Shattering things horizontally” is essentially the same thing as slashing. It simply interacts with the pieced together metal and the already shown to be highly durable Kidd and killer differently. If anything, it shows how tough Kidd and Killer are that they didn’t get cut in half. However, there was a lot of damage to his internal organs and bones, and ego.

No, Shanks did not spare Kidd. He put him down, then Dorry and Brogy brutally murdered him.

So then Garp is the real strongest swordsman since he can swing a ball and chain that would do way more damage than any sword skill shown.

Only insecure Shanks fans and Mihawk haters would think Shanks and Roger aren't swordsmen.

This isn't even a question in all honesty.

We already have an info that Shanks knows how to use Kamusari when he was age 15.

So the real question here is whether Mihawk already had the black blade or not when he dueled Shanks.

Given that activating AdvCOC is only a step towards forging a black blade, Mihawk probably leaped in power if he didn't have the black blade back when he dueled Shanks.

If Mihawk already had the black blade when they dueled that'll mean they are indeed equals.

If Mihawk learned to forge the black blade after the duels, that'll mean he became much stronger and would probably be able to defeat Shanks had they dueled. But too bad, Shanks already lost an arm.
