General & Others How did Shanks>Mihawk become so popular?

Stop pushing this pure Swordsman BS. It doesn't exist.

Swordsmanship s his primary fighting style.

We have seen Mihawk use a knife and Zoro use a short blade and scythe. Just because you are a swordsman doesn't mean you can't use other weapons skillfully.
It's up to you guys... It's your call... I still don't buy it as seen with Kaido since Kanabo use isn't his primary fighting style...


fuji has a fruit still a swordsman and below mihawk
shyriu to etc so whats ur point?
When did I say that Shanks isn't a swordsman? Just said that it's not his primary fight style...
 
Tf you bringing up Brook up like it proves your point. Brook is a swordsman
Yes he is... Again, I never said that they aren't... I'm just saying that it's not their primary fighting skill/powers/source/whatever you call it...

I used Brook as an example because he's relying more on his sword before timeskip until he found out better means to fight using his DF...

shanks is
 
WSS title is not limited to anybody or certain group of people.

Becoming Pirate King is much harder because you can't achieve it by yourself. There's a reason why everybody who sets out to be pirate king who comes close have large powerful crews.
Whitebeard the wsm could of been pirate king but choose not to. wsm > wss , so yea pirate king is on a different level to the wss

Anyways this is off topics
 
Shanks didn't stop the war by himself. He showed up with his crew. Was there a point for the war to continue anyway? WB and Ace were both dead at that time.
Doesn't really matter tbh. Almost everyone was still ready to fight. BB stopped because of Shanks's crew. We know that it was because of the entire crew but the marines didn't say 'What is a Yonko's crew doing here?!'. They said, 'What's one of the 4 emperors doing here?!'. It's mainly Shanks' hype nonetheless. He was obviously the focus. The point is that Shanks is and probably will be much more hyped in comparison to Mihawk in the future but it doesn't really prove that he's stronger.
 
Naw he's equal just like how roger was equal to the WSM, you can be equal to the WSS
2-armed Shanks > Mihawk imo but current Shanks ≈< Mihawk I think.

I don't fucking care about the title, it's fucking useless and doesn't mean shit imo. The only legitimate reason because of which I believe Mihawk > Shanks is because Mihawk is Zoro's fight and Zoro will become the WSS after beating him and not Shanks. Also, saying that Shanks is not a swordsman is stupid imo. At least with all the information we have about him till now.

if they were equal mihawk would still fight him
As a swordsman, yes... His swordplay is clearly inferior to Mihawk... But that doesn't mean that Mihawk is better overall...
no mihawks title is STRONGEST swordsman so hes the STRONGEST swordsman
2-armed Shanks > Mihawk imo but current Shanks ≈< Mihawk I think.

It's not up to me, it's up to Oda. It's his manga and he's the one who defines what a swordsman.

Pirate King cannot be achieved alone. Facts.
The WSM and WSS can. The WSM can also be the WSS.

You haven't proved the Pirate King is on another level to the WSS. That's like a comparing apples to Orange and claiming apples are the better fruit.
