Chapter 1079 - The Emperor Red-Haired Pirates

[MarineHQ]

Obviously Shanks.

Well obviously but difficulty?
It's quite obvious as well that Luffy is still weaker than his idol

 

[ShishioIsBack]

Obviously Shanks.

Difficulty is not as low as people would suggest tho.

If fight actually happened Zoro will Haki bloom his way through victory after going through death

 

[Unlimited Rulebook]

For 2, I don't think there is time for BB to be in Egghead, given that he was on another Island.
I think it's gonna be Kuzan, and HE is gonna fight Kizaru.

This ship looks slightly different from the one BB is/was on.
BB ships

Looking at the higher quality panel of Kamusari it looks like he actually sliced the Damned Punk cannon in half, so i guess the argument about it not being a slash/sword attack is done.

Hard to say. King of Hell is monstrous and would push Shanks to high diff, but it depends on how long Zoro can keep it up, as he himself said he cannot go on for long. And while King of Hell is basically Zoro overusing Haki like Luffy does in boundman, it doesn't necessarily tell you about the level of that Haki. Shanks so far is portrayed as the greatest Haki user of the current time line. Above even the likes of Kaido, who himself has pretty strong and refined, sky splitting level Haoshoku and called Luffy's first usage, which already looked impressive, "crude and clumsy".

This is a drawing mistake right?
Shanks is supposed to be left handed with the scabbard on the right side

 

[Owl Ki]

I gotta say, this chapter sure gives me some some half decent ideas for memes.

Spoiler: RIP Captain Used-ass

No, he is right handed.

Not really. Advanced armament (Ryuo, Haki flow) is, because it is, according to Hyogoro and Koshiro what allows the swordsman to become one with the blade and cut what he wishes to cut and not to cut what he does not wish to cut. CoC is just adding potency. Obviously, Mihawk should have it too at a high level, given what Zoro already displayed, but given Shanks' entire existence revolves around him having crazy ambition and humongous CoC, obviously he stands at the top until someone else displays something comparable or greater.

"Yonko" isn't an ambition tbh. You don't become an emperor because you strive for it. You just get recognized as one at some point due to incredible achievements which go beyond being an individual power house, but also gathering a crew, allies and territory, which is harder to achieve. Yonko are those striving to be the PK and stalemating each other in that pursuit.

And Mihawk himself said he doesn't want to be considered Yonko because it would be stressful and he just wants to live in peace.

I think acoc is fundamental to reach the peak of swordsmanship.

Due the the "wil" of the blade .

@ShishioIsBack @HA001 OF THE RAIN

Dunno if there is a thread about it in the battledome, what do you Zoro vs Shanks 1v1 ?



I don't buy the Ben hype and think Zoro is clear of him even now.

Chill. Shanks is 2 to mihawk. Zoro needs coo boost to reach shanks yet.

 

[JohnnyBme]

No, he is right handed.

Of course. But he is left handed beforehe lost the arm, look at the pic it's on the right hand side
It is a drawing mistake then (I'm just nitpicking small details tho, wondered if he finally moved the scabbard but it seems he kept it on the left handed way, I guess it's Oda's way to make him special by drawing his sword awkwardly lol)

 

[Robin swan]

Once again shows had BM used adcoc Kidd and law would have stood no chance. Kidd was at yc1 level and got 1 shot just like how kaido did Luffy. Law and kidd are yc1 level but managed to beat a yonko by situation not because they were stronger. Fan's that didn't want to listen to reason and ride the bias train had to take a huge dose of reality all at once. Hopefully now that over rating ok showing showings and understanding limitations of characters comes in.

No way anti sword bros made that argument

Credits where it's due; this chapter finally made me snap of the lethargy I was feeling about One Piece ever since Onigashima.

I mean, in this chapter, the scabbard was on the left on all panels.

It was clear before you can even see the lower half of the cannon he sliced falling

Oda forgot
I'm just out here for my fellow left handed people even if they lost an arm

Oda is almost 50. Don't bother about such mistakes. He wrote Zoro with both eyes opened at least once in Wano if I recall.

I think its correct
