nah you forget Zoro has still continued to admit inferiority to Mihawk, who was inferior to Sickbeard and was matched in CoC by Shanks the same Shanks who in Film Red neg diffed not just Kizaru but Issho as well with Conquerors alone where Oda himself stated if Shanks or the RHP can do it in the film they can do it in the manga...
Vista's overall swordsman is equal to the swordsmanship Mihawk used during their battle. We know Mihawk was holding back and distracted for part of their battle.
That's your subjective analysis of the panel they showed, that's just an image, they didn't specify "in this duel" like in the databook, as I said, it's a general statement. Nice try, though
1 Billion is anything but measly. Shanks at that period of time already was a powerful pirate. And the fact someone like Mihawk, who holds great honor in swordsmanship, had Shanks as a rival, is testament to Shanks' swordskills. The first databook (or was it the second?) talked about Shanks being a top class swordsman, with the manga referring to Shanks' swordskill when introducing Mihawk's bounty.
The reason they are not rivals anymore, is due to Shanks sacrificing his arm for another cause. Now I wonder, why would Shanks during their rivalry adhere to swordsmanship (I believe their duels were described as them honing their skills ("sharpening their blades") and afterwards suddenly change it up and use Roger's moves? Why wouldn't he use Roger's moves during the battles with Mihawk? So it's either Shanks said during their rivalry, that he will restrict himself from using shockwaves, but that would be weird, or he randomly picked up those techniques later after his rivalry, but why would he? He already knew of those abilities since his childhood, being on Roger's ship.
This also proves the attack Zoro used to defeat King was a much stronger attack than the one that scared Kaido. Some fans still believe Zoro's Asura Mode Dead man game is a stronger attack than KoH 3 sword Dragon DD. Asura mode is Zoro's old peak, while KoH 3 sword Dragon is Zoro's new peak. I can't wait to see Asura mode KoH 9 sword dragon. That will be epic.
It keeps getting better. Zoro never used his peak against Lucci, while Luffy did.
