This is like thinking Kizaru can't fight with kicks or beams cause he had to use a sword against Rayleigh
Roger had to use a sword against WB
Why would he use a gun there against a sword ?
He a weapon that's long and strong enough to withstand the blow

Roger isn't a swordman btw

But you're not wrong,

Roger and Shanks definitely know how to use guns in combat
Shanks literally has top 3 YCs who are all gunmen
For a swordsman, his crew doesn't really reflect him there in combat style

Bro he embarrassed the fuck out of your and showed how mentally retarded and embarrassing and downright laughable Shanks fans actually sound. Even elementary school kids have more consistent logic than you overgrown autistic men-children.

Like how fucked in the head one has to be to come this far in the story and still say Suanks is not below Mihawk, Shanks is not a swordsman blah blah bblah.

There are better arguments for Mihawk being a non-swordsman than Shanks being a non-swordsman.

In chapter zero, Roger was shown holding a pistol in the Edd war battle against Shiki.

In the pirate warrior games, I do believe both Roger and Shanks have gun attacks.

But most significantly, I think their guns hold special relevance as far as their connection to Luffy goes.

Luffy is the successor of both Roger and Shanks. He told Shanks in chapter 1 that he wishes for his punches to be as strong as pistols. Most of Luffy’s named attacks have a gun theme.

I think one could also draw a parallel between Luffy’s rivals and Shanks/Roger. Law is a D like Roger, Kid is a conquer like Roger. Kid also has red hair, one arm, and an eye scar like Shanks.

Law is a swordsman while Kid, among other things, uses makeshift guns. One of his strongest moves is a railgun.

This isn’t to negate their status as swordsmen. Roger and Shanks are confirmed swordsmen. But swordsmanship clearly isn’t their only skill.

It’s not difficult to see why Roger and Shanks would use guns. Their signature move divine departure seems to only be a close range technique. Rather than sending a long distance slash to defeat Kid, Shanks blitzed him from the shore to land divine departure at close range.

It’s very likely that being less skilled swordsmen, Shanks and Roger aren’t capable of Mihawk tier flying slashes that can range entire islands. Hence they rely on guns for ranged attacks.

This also explains the difference between Roger and Shanks despite the two having basically the same abilities. Roger could wield a sword and gun at the same time. Shanks can only do either/or.
