Break Week Is Dark King Rayleigh a Swordsman?

Ah so we’ve introduced new mechanics. Now you can just choose to opt out of being a swordsman on command
it’s not even an identity then, it’s more like a job, like a vocation or something
Strangely enough Shanks lost him arm 11 years ago, 5 years before he even became a Yonko… Yet Brannew weirdly hasn’t gotten the memo that Shanks quit the Swordsman job
why did Shanks quit his job then?

Yep shank was holding back
What a generous and kind rat
Not me. It's mohawk who uses shank missing hand as an excuse. I'm just merely extrapolating from that that mohawk most likely doesn't consider shank to be a swordsman anymore since he is missing his sword arm.
You can take it as whatever you want man.
It's not for shank benefit that Brannew is mentioning his sword skills.
It's for mohawk benefit. Cause without shank, mohawk has nothing.
Isn't it weird how it's been 12 years since shank and mohawk last fought, but mohawk just has no other opps in that 12 years span that anyone in the op world knows of? Why doesn't Brannew know of anyone that mohawk beat in that time?
Why do they have to use outdated feats?
Shank quit his job because he lost his skill hand.
All his skills were inside that arm
Damn you Lor D Coast

He said mihawk is superior to current yonko shanks
He specifically said mohawk has greater skill than shank.
How does he know?
The only thing he has to base this on is the duels 12 years ago. And then shank lost his arm. So they assumed mohawk is more skillful in swordsmanship, not stronger, because shank lost an arm.
It's very telling that Brannew doesn't dare put mohawk above shank in strength.
superior in what lol
Brannew made it a point to say it's about skill. Why not just say stronger?
Brannew knows Shank lost his arm filled with skills i guess.

So Swordsmanship is an identity, so what exactly is Zoro’s dream? To become the “most swordsman indentifying person”?
Superior in job qualifications. That’s what you think swordsmanship is right?
the moment Shanks resigned from being a swordsman, Every swordsman in the world automatically became superior to Shanks. Since you know, Shanks isn’t a swordsman and Tashigi is a swordsman so by default Tashigi is a superior Swordsman than shanks
am I understanding your “Swordsmanship is a job” analogy?

Not shanks 12 years ago
Branew said he's superior using the same kanji oda used for rocks acoc swordsmanship
We know Mihawk fight stronger and stronger opponents until there is no more worthy challengers. Oda just had me revealed his opponents yet. All strong characters in One Piece are potential opponents until Oda tells us he didn't fight them.
You don't have to call yourself a swordsman to be a swordsman.

Same illiterate ass fanbase that refuses to acknowledge the fact king and zoro himself on multiple occasions admitted to not being able to hurt a flame lunarian also refuse the fact king and zoro go out their way to clarify king isn’t a swordsman
Ain’t no way
Ain’t no way
Zoro and King did knowledge Zoro couldn't hurt him in flame mode, but that changed near the end of their battle where Zoro noticed King fighting style change. Zoro called him out about it. King response wasn't he couldn't hurt him in flame mode. Instead, it was Zoro can't beat him because he's human. It doesn't make any sense for King not to say, he can't hurt him in flame mode if King still believes it.
King action tells us he no longer believed his flame mode would protect him from Zoro's attacks by making himself harder to hit. King increased his speed, increased his distance, flew away from the island, and used long range attacks.
King did what any intelligent person would do if they believe their defense mode can no longer protect them from their opponent attacks and have a way to make themselves harder to hit.
Even Zoro's actions tells us he was no longer concerned about King's flame mode. Zoro jump through the air and attacked King in the middle of the air where King has the most advantage and he has the least.
It’s both
Another example being kaku again. Even without his physical swords he’s still a swordsman because he considers his legs to be blades. All of cp9 can use tempest kick tho
King was stronger than start of wano Zoro
Both used swords but only Zoro’s a swordsman
At the same time sword duels exist. We even saw them have a temporary one before king went all out again. Zoro is still the better more skilled swordsman despite being weaker
In the shanks case if he isn’t considered a swordsman that doesn’t mean his swordsmanship is bad. Put him against Tashigi in a sword duel he’d still win but depending on what’s considered sword skills you might be able to argue Tashigi being more skilled like zoro vs king
