Questions & Mysteries How did Mihawk make a black blade and Roger couldn't??

#84
The gun was in chapter 0 where he didn't leave his ship and oda didn't finish his design.
It's no where to be seen in the oden or god valley flashback.
As to how you know Oda hadn't finished his design, not sure where you sourced that information from.
  1. Who else's design didn't he finish, did he say this?
  2. Is this from the SBS or a magazine?
I'd like to see where you read this from as official fact.

It is still canon if you can't give an official source, so we can't say he doesn't use guns especially being roughly 20 years after God Valley.

Chapter 0 is pretty UpToDate, it's 2 years or so before he became Pirate King and 3 years before he died. Hard to say he wasn't also a sharpshooter, or was not solely a Swordsman in other words as these are in the final moments of his life.

On top of that, he was said to have the strongest Haki, so it doesn't appear to me that Haki is the main thing that determines a Black blade. Looks like there's more to a Black Blade than just Haki, and Swordsmanship is possibly also a criteria.

Biggest cope is idiots like you downplaying Roger when manga never explained exact requirements for making black blade.
I didn’t even downplay roger there u dumbfuck
All I said is that ‘ roger not following path of the sword ‘ or ‘ roger not giving a flying fuck abt his sword ‘ is a lot of copium

that’s people simply making the character something else which he isn’t

bb can be anything but saying roger don’t give a fuck abt swords ( especially when he has a supreme grade and he named his son after his sword ) is bullshit

Your first post " skill issue " was downplay .No details are provided how to make black blade so your intention was clear.

He was never said to have the strongest haki, and we literally saw him both in the oden flashback and the god valley flashback with his sword

King and Zoro defined what a Swordsman is.
King uses a Sword, but he doesn't identify as a Swordsman, he said that unlike Swordsmen, he is willing to bite his opponent if it will allow him to win.

Laughtale volume also suggests that a Black Blade is not create purely on strength.

Based on that, while you do need strength, and the strongest form of Haki, you probably also have to strictly be a Swordsman to acquire a Black blade.

Roger is shown using a gun in the Ed War against Shiki, so while he is skilled at using a Sword and possessing the strongest Haki, he's probably not a Swordsman like Zoro who will probably only ever use a Sword or Sword-based Martial art to win a fight.

We already know Blades have personalities and can test the user like Enma did, so it's probably possible that a Sword can recognise a true Swordsman and if you win your battles against other Swordsmen and prove to be the best, your Sword probably magically becomes a Black blade. At least, that's what make sense to me until we get a definitive answer.
No, blade are not necessarily swords in the first place first and it's zoro who said he was ready to bite his opponents

You're right, it was Zoro who said that.
My overall point is there is a distinction between Swordsmen, King said he never understood why people would stick to a school or style in the Viz (and in the TCB King says he doesn't understand why anyone would stick to traditional forms or techniques) which follows with Zoro saying King is right since he never claimed to be a Swordsman.

It has been stated, or strongly implied.

Chinjao said in order to be Pirate King, you need to have the most powerful King's Haki.
Kaido also said Roger was able to become Pirate King without a Devil fruit because Haki can surpass everything, so it does suggest Roger did have the most powerful Haki.

saw him both in the oden flashback and the god valley flashback with his sword
Doesn't change the fact we have seen him use a gun too.
We saw him with a Sword in God Valley, in Oden's Flashback, but it doesn't change the fact he used a Gun as well 2 years before he became Pirate King.
Can't dismiss it just because, just stating the facts.
End of the day, it doesn't look like Roger is solely a Swordsman... I don't recall ever seeing Mihawk or Zoro who we know are pure swordsmen with guns.

Vista is also said to be the strongest Swordsman in the WBP, doesn't mean he is stronger than Whitebeard, but it does suggest he is more of a Swordsman than Whitebeard iirc from the Vivre cards.

Yes and we have the oden flashback who directly contradict what were don chinjao and kaido because that's the thing, they are the losers of this era. We literally see Luffy flat out saying he don't want to conquer, he wants to be friend which is what we saw in oden's flashback and yes vista is more of a swordsman than wb because WB is not a swordsman and guess what? He has a blade and every blade can become black so black blade got nothing to do with swordsmanship.

Oden who is canonically relative to Roger based on kaido's top 5 is way weaker than ryuma who got a black blade so what's the conclusion?

? Because he's updated rogers design in manga and it doesn't match the edd war.
And he doesnt have a pistol.

God valley was way before edd war and he doesn't have a pistol.

Never said he had the strongest haki
 
Easy

Mihawk chose the path of swordsmanship using cutting techniques as his fighting style. Which means he has a peculiarity with CoA that can make him get a black sword.

While Roger used shockwaves with CoC blasts to shoot through his sword. I doubt even Roger knows cutting techniques like voat

They just have different quirks in terms of haki.
This doesn’t make sense man go look at both divine departures… it’s clear Roger was not trying to cut oden up he send out an attack testing him with the intention of not cutting oden but sent him flying.

chapter 194 There are swordsmen that can cut through anything this includes steel, and there are swordsmen that are able to cut nothing these same swordsmen can cut through steel with the same instrument(sword). Shanks did exactly this, and remember what hyogoro said in chapter 939 a good katana can cut through steel when you want it to and it will not break a sheet of paper if you do not wish it so. It’s all according to the desire of the swordsman! Shanks and Roger desire was not to cut through oden and kidd shanks in using this ability also curbs through the steel railgun but does not cut through Kidd.

Guys which sword of zoro is stronger? Black blade Shushui or Enma?
Black blade shusui only when Enma turns black and raises rank will it be the superior blade imo… oda told us in road to laughtale that black blades are the most elite blades in existence so for me shusui sits at the top of its class in the 21 blade class, but if any of those other 20 blades become black and raise in rank then they are superior to shusui as they would then be in the same class as the 12 supreme grade blades.
