I created this topic mainly for people with more than 2 neurons, and especially those who are fans of Zoro, Mihawk, Ray, etc.
I would like us to use this topic to compile all the evidence, phrases, facts, from the manga and other OP sources about the swordsmen, to leave the swordsmen haters, Zoro/Mihawk haters, or Shanks "fans" without arguments.
Let's try to debate, and make a list of the swordsmen in the manga, who are completely swordsmen, why, and what skills they have in common, who are swordsmen, but have certain extra skills (law for example)
At the same time, let's try to form some solid arguments against the enormous amount of nonsense that haters always bring up.
1 - Swordsmen don't use haki
2 - Mihawk's title is "the best swordsman in the world", not "the strongest swordsman in the world"
3 - Shanks and Mihawk's duels were with special rules, without using haki, just swordsmanship.
4 - Roger, Shanks, Ray, etc. They are not "pure swordsmen." Mihawk, Ryuma, Oden and Zoro are
5 - Shanks is a swordsman, and although Mihawk has the title of "the strongest swordsman in the world", Mihawk is weaker. Zoro will defeat Mihawk in the future, but he will still be weaker than Shanks, but it does not mean that he will not fulfill his dream, since he will still have the title.
These are the ones I remember now and we could start by refuting them. You can add whatever you want
