Cerberus guards the underworld.


Gryphons guard the divine.



The name isn't just a reverse parallel: it's literal. Shanks also has a divine power embedded in his sword.


Shanks most likely got the power when he visited Mariejois. This is also probably the reason Mihawk doesn't want to fight him anymore and is depressed. Because Shanks cheated.

The thought popped into my head as well. It’s interesting that Gryphon was never a confirmed supreme blade.

Although Saint Shanks’s sword having a fruit would increase the likelihood that he is affiliated with the World Government, as feeding a fruit to an object is incredibly rare and it’s very likely only the WG can accomplish something like this.

Exactly, and the thing is we know Shanks went to Mariejois at least once

This would also make the dynamic with Mihawk make way more sense, Mihawk IS stronger in swordsmanship but Shanks forewent that to feed his sword a power.

It would be cool if that was the case, but wouldn't that go against the hakimen theme of the red hair pirates?

The only one coping is you. As always. A devil fruit sword doesn't mean you aren't a swordsman. Oda himself said if he was to give zoro a fruit his sword would have it.
:kobeha::kobeha:

So Shanks has such powerful haki and swordsmanship at his disposal but he has to rely on some pokemon to do his bidding instead
Mohawk fans already in melt down mode now that the truth is becoming clear
