Does Ryokugyu Have A Black Blade?

Fujitora wields a supreme blade and Kizaru has the strongest defense in the world

Admirals were never fruit merchants, they have better Haki/base fighting power than the Yonko
I have not called any character a "DF merchant" ever. The only one who would qualify in my opinion is Momonosuke.
You do realize Kuzan was considered a DF merchant with all of his panel time prior to fighting Garp? Aramaki has little panel time so far.

Dunno what's your point? We saw Aramaki's black blade on panel, he doesn't need to use it for further proof.

:snoopy:
I do realize... because I just said it lol. Idgaf what someone else said about Aokiji because I remember speculating on AP about Aokiji's relationship with Garp in the two years before he showed up. Knowing that Garp trained Luffy and then trained Coby, it was impossible to outright dismiss the idea that he trained Aokiji.

The idea that Aramaki doesn't need to have a history with sword use or actually use his sword to accomplish what the current Zoro can't is braindead. You can also make excuses for Shanks or Roger presumably, but not Oden, either.
 
Still waiting for a good explanation for why it narratively makes sense to give a Kokuto to a DF merchant (assuming he actually forged it himself and it wasn’t already blackened by someone from the past)
1) The "DF merchant" thing has always been retarded. Is merely a bad cope from haters, not from Oda;

2) Admrials have never been only fruit to begin with. It was again some brainded take by haters, which Oda bascially erased in every way possibile;

3) we don't know Ryo's backstory. If we go by Roningai, he's bascially an incredible swordsman undercover.

Sanji and Queen canonically have the same hair color

That’s because Oda is not a good artist lol. I think Queen’s hair probably translates better on the page this way than if Oda were to give him “white” hair in a black and white manga.

Meanwhile a black blade is something that’s always had an extremely specific appearance in the black and white manga.

it's almost definitely what you said, since he had no issue making the hair white in the MADS flashbacks.
 
Why would a Forest Logia carry a wooden blade, when he can spawn his element any time. You don't see Kuzan and Kizaru carrying an ice/light blade on their hip either. And why would that wooden blade be black with a white hamon.

People are coping too much. Lol.
In fact, it's a very standard behavior from Oda. Every time he introduce a power up, sooner or later said powerup is used for others. It isn't left to be the exclusive of one character alone and usually Oda tends to be... munificent with those. Haki itself is a prime example, but Awakening too.
Since Wano, even AdvCoC was given to many more characters compared to the number some people thought.

In Wano Kokuto were established as an haki feat in a definitive manner --> end of Wano Oda introduced a Kokuto user.

Isn’t it weird that none of the samurai acknowledged his Kokuto?

To some extent it is, but I remember the same argument was used talking about Fujitora's sword : "if he had a great blade and a Saijo in particular, Zoro would have said something". We know how that turned out to be, mostly because Oda doesn't care.

Anyway, if I have to find a lifeline here, it's that none of the scrabbards could see Aramaki up close in human form.

There’s really no reason to believe that Zoro has any clue what all the graded meitos are though. He’s not interested in that type of stuff
