Powers & Abilities How many non-cutting sword users are there in One Piece?

#1
Which sword user so far has only had non-cutting sword attacks?

All the swordsmen we've seen use slashing attacks, and Zoro's whole thing is about cutting this or that.

But what a coincidence that non-cutting sword users are the only sword users with a significance in the One Piece world clearly superior to Buggy's circus employee...

Too much of a coincidence...

Shanks > Mihawk

Bait used to be good
The dumbest trolls ever, way worse than the current batch, had a blank check because their disbelief in ZKK was in track with Oda. Now we see how lame they are without something like that to suck on.
Xebec > Roger > Mihawk > Shanks
Fwiw, anyone whose prime was before Luffy ate the fruit could have possibly been stronger than Mihawk and nothing would have to change in the story

Agree, eos Zoro will surpass Vista and everyone will be happy.

We have known about the existence of swordsmen who possess non-cutting or shockwave attack since pre-time skill. Zoro teacher told him that.

There really was a lot going on in those scenes. Oda seem to be reconnecting his old concepts with swordsmanship.

Shockwave swordsmansmith is a path swordsman can take. It's possible to combine cutting and shockwave attacks.

Swordsman who possess shockwave attacks:
Mihawk
Zoro
Ryuma
Rocks
Roger
Shanks
Big Mom
Brogy
Dorry
Harald (I believe he mastered giant swordsmanship that is a shockwave sword style)
Strong giants (I believe most strong Elbaph giants who know giant swordsmanship can produce shockwave attacks)

Shockwave attacks can take the shape of a wave, can rotate or spin, or create circular damage.

Rotating/spinning shockwave attacks:


Correction: This was a shockwave attack that ripped Luffy skin open and sent him flying through the air.


Shockwave attacks that create circular damage.


Franky described it as a pistol.





Wave shape shockwave attacks:

Cavendish and Brook does piercing attacks if that counts

I'd say most giants have non cutting attacks like Hakoku or a variant/variants of it

BM with Ikoku, etc.
