That was in reference to "Hardening".. That's why Mihawk told Zoro he couldn't drink sake until he could turn his Sword black.
Post automatically merged:
black blade is the finally level for swordman before that he has to have adv coa and adv coc (we are seeing how zoro is learning them).
Roger was dead to younger while mihawk has been years to train until he was stronger than shanks and the same roger.
Mihawk 15 years ago=shanks two arms= roger
Mihawk with yoru=ryuma=joyboy>>roger and shanks
Now it's very clear why mihawk doesn't want to fight against shanks
