Oh yeah, Xebec tied Harald with one hand in a awkward blocking position.. That moment said everything about Harald, big dude, big strength, big lightning.. That's it..
Harald's best feat is fighting Xebec, he has no feat of his own, no special techniques or Haki nothing..
By the way me claiming that Roger is not a Swordsman, is not nerfing him in any way from my perspective.. It's just a technicality..
I said Shanks is a Swordsman..
Yes Anime and fiction will deviate from reality like Haki, Flying slashes, Blades will devil fruits.. But the core tenant that will never change is that Swords must cut, if not then Swordsmanship loses its meaning.. You can have a fantastical chair with powers and be sentient, it's fundamental role will still be to sit on it..
The Side of a Sword doesn't cut.. What does that do to me that you believe Rocks got cut by Roger at God Valley..
What do you mean, Marco's dad said Whitebeard destroyed that Mountain..
