Spoiler One Piece Chapter 1155 Spoilers Discussion

[Salah WG]

You could argue, Oda does it on purpose. He wants the ambiguity.

Because what Fuels Mihawk's Swordsmanship is a Mystery,
If Brannew said that, it implies He knows Mihawk's Secret, which doesn't make sense,
All They know is that what Mihawk can unleash with his Sword is Superior to what Shanks can,

Mihawk's First Words were literally about how a Sword by itself is "Nothing",
Your Swordsmanship is based on what you actually use to Fuel it,

We've seen Strength, Speed, CoA, CoC, Soul, Room, Gravity, Fire, Lightning, Underworld, Ice, Shockwaves, Poison, Rokushiki ... etc
Zoro literally grabbed a Pillar with his Sword & called it Three-Sword Style whatever,

So Mihawk's Swordsmanship = What "Fuels" his Sword? (Beside Strength, Speed, Haki ... etc)
No one knows so far, including us Readers, and same for Marines/WG,

For example, People don't know Haki, which means it's not mentioned in Newspaper, which means People don't know Shanks Power, however, They do know about DFs & read about their Users in Newspapers,

Even someone like Wano Luffy wasn't aware that you can coat CoC for example, so imagine knowing what is Mihawk's Power?
Probably no one does, except maybe one or two people, so from everyone's perspective, Mihawk is the guy who uses a Sword to better results, nothing more.

I bet your life drastically improved after dropping this weebo dirt.

Well, Heavy Barbell Rowing is my new favorite part of the week... so yeah, a solid improvement.

 

[Rootbeer]

The fact xebec is hyped AS A SWORDSMAN is the most unreal debate ending W of all time

If it were that simple..

 

[HeroesNZ]

This is the semantics argument. But I'm looking at it from Oda's perspective and not semantics. Technically Mihawk should be stronger in overall combat, but this is not the way it has been presented by Oda imo.

Oda's perspective is that Shanks is a swordsman and Mihawk is the world's strongest swordsman it couldn't be simpler lmfao 😭

Mihawk narratively cannot be weaker than Shanks — if he is, it makes him a fraud. Which is fine, but until then, Mihawk > Shanks.

From Oda's perspective, Mihawk represents the pinnacle of swordsmanship out of all swordsmen alive. Xebec proves that shockwaves are also part of swordsmanship.

If Zoro saw Shanks use a shockwave, he'd say damn he's a strong swordsman I need to surpass him. Knowing Zoro, he'd probably try to learn the attack. Zoro surpassing Mihawk will automatically mean he's surpassed Shanks too — even Mihawk said he waits at the top, not "I'll wait for you at the top (btw you still gotta beat Shanks after me)" lmfao.

zoro wants to be the greatest swordsman of all time

No, this was mistranslation. Zoro has never said he wants to be greatest swordsman ever

Luffy will become the greatest Pirate alive, with the greatest shipwright Franky, the greatest Cook Sanji, the greatest Navigator Nami and the best Doctor in Chopper but yeah, Zoro just gonna be the what? The 5th greatest swordsman of all time? Cause that makes fucking sense...

The logic of some people on here will neevr fail to astound me I swear.

Sanji will not be the “greatest cook ever”

Solid exercise for those thick back gains

 

[Malick the last Light]

Apparently, Zoro fans won't put themself in context and just blindly accept WSS above all Swordsmen cause it suits their agendaQUOTE]
I tend to listen to the Author over some random bum on the Internet who wants wants to split hair, but I am weird like that.

Honest to god Root, the only reason I have not already put you on my ignore list is that I think seeing you reach more than Luffy at times to justify your blatant bullshit is hilarious.

I swear, Oda himself could learn fluent English and do a live stream where he tells YOU specifically that you are wrong and you would still find a way to cope about how you were actually right all along.

 

[NicoRobinIsQueen]

Roxmen D Xebekuna

Then we'd have to say xebec is the strongest of history

 

[Salah WG]

Wow so convincing I am sold thanks

Luffy's Techniques tells us that He is convinced "Storm" means Peak Power,
I don't know about you.

 

[VoaV]

Also for the record I think Urouge is top 4 or 5, Oda's been hiding him for a long time for a reason.

Oda hide urouge like he hide bogart they are randoms

 

[ImmaIvanoM]

People don't take Mihawk and his title seriously because the author himself doesn't either. The difference in treatment between Shanks/old legends and Mihawk is evident.

Well the problem is Shanks and Mihawk have different roles in the story so they are presented differently

But having different story roles isn’t an indicator of in-world power levels either

 

[Monster Zoro's Tesla Supplier]

Oda hide urouge like he hide bogart they are randoms

Bogard is a top tier.. Horrible example.

 

[BestGen]

Brooo imagine Marco casually telling Vista "hey man go stop Xebec I am busy with Kizaru"

 

[HeroesNZ]

Yasopp and Ben Beckman are both marksmen. Yasopp is clearly the better marksmen of the two, while Ben is clearly the stronger of the two. @ZenZu

You realise in this context, Mihawk is both Ben (stronger) and Yasopp (more skilled) lmfaoo 😭. There is literally no way out here.

 

[BestGen]

Bogard is a top tier.. Horrible example.

Top tier jobber maybe

 

[DarkestKnightofSpoilers]

Also for the record I think Urouge is top 4 or 5, Oda's been hiding him for a long time for a reason.

hmm i wonder if HE comes back when Urouge Hype is among us

 

[Rootbeer]

People don't take Mihawk and his title seriously because the author himself doesn't either. The difference in treatment between Shanks/old legends and Mihawk is evident.

It's not that it's not taken seriously.. There are unwritten rules that Oda is leaving out on purpose.. That Swordsmanship is heavily CoA oriented and will never be peak CoC.. The main reason most One Piece fans are confusing AdCoA Black Green Lightning for AdCoC.. Because Oda explain nothing..

 

[Monster Zoro's Tesla Supplier]

hmm i wonder if HE comes back when Urouge Hype is among us

Like an user or a character? If you mean a character then yes Enel is coming too

 

[ConquistadoR]

Solid exercise for those thick back gains

8 sets of Barbell Rows (4 close grip & 4 wide) + 3 sets of weighted pullups.

Twice a week.

I literally dont have to do anything more.

 

[Shiroyru]

You realise in this context, Mihawk is both Ben (stronger) and Yasopp (more skilled) lmfaoo 😭. There is literally no way out here.

Who would Oda give the “World’s Greatest Marksman” title to?
