Spoiler One Piece Chapter 1155 Spoilers Discussion

[Nadel]

Quote me placing Ryuma above Mihawk any time in last 5 years.

 

[Worthy Man]

Xebec is like:
Yeah, I'm a Davy Jones fan, how did you know?

 

[ZenZu]

Things people do to discard Mihawk.

First Roger wasn't a swordsman.
And now Xebec when explicitly stated to be using a unique swordsmanship.
It's another Roger case.

All 3 are swordsman. Roger isn't weaker than Mihawk because he didn't forge a black blade, I don't believe that at all because Oda has never treated Mihawk with the grace required for someone of that stature, we saw it with Oldbeard, Roger speaks for himself, and now we are seeing it with Xebec. This is where Mihawk's title as the strongest swordsman comes in, he took swordsmanship to the apex. Only Ryuma has done this before him. Black blade is not a sign of a superior combatant but a superior swordsman. It is this until further notice.

 

[EMUNOPLA]

Xebec does not have black sword

 

[MonsterZoro]

why zoro fans leeching this feat? there is WSS in every generation it doesnt mean the current one is the strongest

mihawk only strongest because this generation only 1 person wnats to be wss and its zoro

 

[Rootbeer]

I'm afraid we were wrong about Rootbeer, the dude is on to something.

Damn, that came out of nowhere.. Well at least you're willing to see another perspective..

Cinera , Nik , Shishio

Definitely not @nik87 and @ShishioIsBack, they would be contenders for the most biased Zoro fans on the forum.. I don't know about Cinera..

 

[Etzel Andergast]

Civilian Xebec = no black blade
Pirate Xebec = black blade

 

[MonsterZoro]

Xebec does not have black sword

shut ur bitch ass up we already know you repost spoilers 1 hour late just go get a job instead

 

[Nadel]

HAHAHAHAHA YES
EXCELLENT CHAPTER FOR MIHAWK GODS

I KNEW BELIEVING IN HIM WOULD PAY OFF-SA

" World strongest Swordsman ".
Black blade is peak of swordsmanship.
None of them reached it. Except ryuma centuries ago.

But it's kinda pointless , there's no universe you will ever accept Mihawk being stronger than them.

 

[Sir Yasheen]

What could his other fighting style be? Kickboxing?

I mean he only has one arm

Oh right I forgot about the flintlock that he's never used onscreen. I'm sure that's what he uses in serious battles instead of the sword he's whipped out for every confrontation in the series!

Idk if I can find it again but there was an older theory that shanks has a flintlock where his left arm should be that he uses like Neko.

 

[RayanOO]

Aokiji or GB? I feel like one of Sengoku or Fujitora could end up dead if they take on CG

Kizaru

 

[Kurozumi Wiwi]

I mean I don't disagree with this either

This is usually the major point of contention I have with Zoro/Mihawk fans about him

Narrative puts him over Shanks with little to nothing that can really dispute that

But Oda hasn't handled him very well when it comes to showcasing how strong he is relative to other characters. Like you can say the Vista thing isn't a big deal (and it isn't) but admittedly it feels like a blow to his portrayal

I can't imagine in my wildest dreams Marco saying "aye Vista go handle Xebec"

But Marineford is a clusterfuck narrative, portrayal, and feat wise when it comes to powerscaling so I let it slide

Even post-ts it ain't that good. WG/Marine threw him away like trash when they could have made an exception for a guy people claim to be the strongest in the verse. Left his home because of fodder marines, same marine that will avoid a war with a yonko.
Got the same narrative relevance as Crocodile (defeated pre-ts villain) in Cross Guild.
The saving grace is that Mihawk obviously hasn't come anywhere close from having went all out, but when you compare with Shanks who literally got called "the child of destiny" a few chapters ago, it's not surprise will debate against Mihawk > Shanks when it has never been explictly stated that Mihawk actually defeated Shanks in a fight.

 

[Halyup]

They were swordsmen. They just had other skills that made them the strongest.

What skill?
Haki is literally part of swordsmanship

Zoro's whole training with mihawk is about strengthening Haki

 

[Dragon777]

Kizaru

Nah, Oda has literally saved him this arc.

 

[Zemlya]

Not yet why? Nvm no spoilers

Ight nvm😭

 

[WkainuWheWoat]

[omegalul]
