Bougya Shanks is a massive bum and I have spent years defending an illusion

[Reborn]

Is shanks not apart of his crew

Oda being the same guy that said this

And again for the 5th time because we’ve never seen him fight with him doing 1 single attack in the whole series

And, that single time he did is with a sword which he carries along and he is know for having duels with Mihawk - who's definitely a swordsman.

So, whatever you are saying is headcannon because manga did portray shanks as swordsman

Yes even swordsmen have different styles of fighting
Kaku, Zoro, Kinemon and Mihawk all fight differently despite all being devoted swordsmen

King was capable of having a sword duel with zoro yet he isn’t a swordsman. He’s also carried a sword since childhood
A single attack doesn’t encompass his whole fighting style

Not when oda has gone out his way to hint at there being more to shanks’s fighting style. Not when characters like king, queen, big mom, kizaru, etc are shown to be able to use swords despite not being swordsmen. Not when oda goes out his way to not outright say mihawk is plain stronger (never mind the difference in portrayal)

3 sword style is a thing
Fire fox style is a thing
Beautiful sword style is a thing
Oden 2 sword style is a thing

Divine departure isn’t a part of one

What do you think Shanks different fighting style would be?

Just being capable of fighting without or even besides his sword if it’s alive. It doesn’t need to be a specific fighting style

 

[Reborn]

And, how you see shanks fighting without a sword and with one arm?

 

[Albino 👑]

And, how you see shanks fighting without a sword and with one arm?

With his other arm and legs…

 

[Reborn]

With his other arm and legs…

He carries a sword in that arm.

Unless he drops it he won't be using that arm to throw a punch.

Have we seen anyone bar Sanji on such level to be a kickboxer? I don't remember it.

 

[Albino 👑]

If he can turn his sword to a giant beast like his brother he can have a free arm

Characters can use their legs to fight…
That doesn’t limit him to only using his legs

Dedicated kickers Hancock and Kizaru are still below Mihawk mind you

So basically you are assuming things - what ifs and what you wishes to see.

 

[MonochromeYoru]

CG was formed years after Imu was introduced. Something that is established so late is there to be for the endgame.

That's retarded reasoning lol

WG was introduced back in jaya and shit. Yet multiple factions that were introduced after that have already been defeated.

WG is the endgame. CG is a literal clownshow

Rox was backed by the underworld just like cross guild
Buggy is reaching the empty throne

Buggy could very well reach the empty throne after CG i beaten lol.

Regardless of buggy's fate, WG have been built up from early op as the overarching ultimate bbeg of the story. That won't change just because a clown joke of a character.

 

[Wizak08]

Who mentioned anything about “hakimen”?

Shanks being skilled with his sword doesn’t limit him to just being a swordsman. Oda hinted there being more to his fighting style and even gave his brother a devil fruit sword something he likely has too

 

[Albino 👑]

So basically you are assuming things - what ifs and what you wishes to see.

You act as if oda hasn’t hinted at shanks’s fighting style isn’t more than what it seems

You also act as if shanks someone who used to be a holy knight who’s brother has a mythical devil fruit sword named after Cerberus can’t have one for his coincidentally named griffin sword

Or that shanks hasn’t had significantly better portrayal and feats despite the less screen time. At no point mihawk being treated as actually stronger

Or even that we already know that using a sword doesn’t necessarily make you a swordsman. With oda going out of his way to say there’s a difference with king

And, that's what I am saying - you are assuming things based on shamrock portrayal and portrayal of shanks being important character which makes you believe he has to be stronger than Mihawk.

Your entire arguments revolves around making assumptions whereas we have clear portrayal of shanks being a swordsman

No because his estranged brother having a power in of itself doesn’t mean much
Again

1. It’s oda hinting there’s more to how shanks fights when naming his sword
2. It’s shanks actually being a holy knight in the past alongside his brother
3. It’s shank’s sword literally being named after a griffin the same way shamrocks sword is named after a Cerberus
4. It’s shanks getting significantly better portrayal and feats despite less screen time
5. It’s mihawks abysmal portrayal to the point he is no more special than any other warlord
6. The fact we know being able to use a sword doesn’t automatically mean you’re a swordsman

No more special than any other Warlord? Him forming a crew with Crocodile and Buggy made the Marine shit their pants, give two of them 3B+ bounties and one a 1.9B bounty, and immediately announce them as a new Yonko crew. Do you think that'd happen if it were Doffy or Jinbe making that crew with Croc and Buggy? Also, he's the only bonafide top tier out of any Warlord and he's also the WSS with the largest bounty of the Warlords (almost twice as much as Crocodile's bounty). He's also one of three Warlords to never have a genuine, proper defeat yet (he actually hasn't been defeated in anyway, not even hit by an attack, while Shanks was scarred by rookie Teach), the others being Kuma and Hancock who are arguably in the top 3 or 4 strongest Warlords anyway.

1. 3 warlords formed a crew
2. Crocodile and mihawk each time get equal credit for making buggy an emperor
3. Crocodile and mihawk view each others as equal co leaders. If they didn’t they wouldn’t be able to work together due to their pride
4. Both he and crocodile are hiding under buggy’s shadow despite the wss title and higher bounty
5. Mihawk left the new world and gave up his dream like the rest of cross guild

So no despite his bounty he is treated no more special and significant than any other warlord

Bro what???
Mihawk already accomplished his dream. He's the strongest swordsman alive. Nobody can beat him or compete with him for the title right now.
He doesn't need to do shit except wait for Zoro to become a god tier and defeat him.
