Just one question though
After such a ridiculous haki focus Zoro has gotten, why are people still trying to separate Haki from swordsmanship?
Haki is integral to G4 and G5 working for Luffy, yet Kaido still says what he says this chapter.
@Fujishiro
Essentially saying if Roger has stronger CoC than Mihawk but Mihawk is still a better swordsman, what does that mean??
It means Mihawk is the better swordsman, as he should be. The argument is that levels of haki do not correlate to anyone winning or losing. I.e. Luffy vs Katakuri, i.e. Kaido's observation about Roger is both a correct and incorrect statement
If Zoro were to destroy Mihawks CoC coated sword with his own CoC end of story, would that not count as Zoros win because Zoro win by the means of Hakimanship not swordsmanship??
How does that work?
Zoro is doing exactly exactly what Roger did against Whitebeard. So how is Roger not a swordsman?
....He'd be the WSS lol. The point of this entire argument here is that Mihawk literally does not have a W against any of these people. As with Roger and WB, they are of "equal" standing, but Roger was the PK, while WB was deemed the WSM. Both had different goals on life.
Same with Mihawk and Shanks. One is the WSS, one is a Yonko. Neither have actually fought lost to the other.
Before you respond, seriously consider what I'm saying here. I'm really not making fun of Mihawk. In fact, I 100% believe he and Shanks have the potential to be the final antagonists for Zoro and Luffy respectively, fighting roughly on equal standing.
I take issue in calling Mihawk the strongest, but I literally believe he's one of the strongest men alive still (easily top 3-5), and believe the gap between Zoro and Luffy will be smaller than we think in the end.
