You were quick to give a point to Shanks over Mihawk when this statement came out. But when it comes to Zoro over Kidd/Law, you are writing an essay to prove haki is not everything. Who has an agenda here? 😂
It’s more Mihawk losing a point here (swordsman without BB being top 1)
And I have Shanks above Mihawk for numerous things :
- his place on the story : MC role model etc
- had the straw hat
- Blackbeard enemy
and also yes his spirit and COC was hyped a lot. So his willpower must be insane.
So yeah I think Shanks COC will be greater than Mihawk and overall Shanks will have something more.
But we don’t know anything yet about Shanks and Mihawk except they have swords. So it’s really a battle of portrayal vs portrayal and hype vs hype.
while we know Law Kid and Zoro. So we can refined our analysis. But obviously portrayal matters. Zoro having king ambition and AdCoC is a huge plus for him.
But it doesn’t mean being instantly superior to those. He can be but it’s not 100% sure because of that alone.
