Do you really wanna go down into that rabbithole AGAIN?
Top tier swordsmen are hakimen but stronger. They use stubborn objects which they channel their haki through. ANY haki feat can legitimately be used by a swordsman since haki is a universal power source, accessible by anyone. CoC also belongs to that power source. Technically anyone can be born with it, but in the end only a few individuals are.
Mihawk > Shanks > Loki
There's nothing wrong with that statement. The first half of it has been validated by the author himself over and over and over again for nearly 3 fucking decades at this point. Live with it man.

I mean, if Shanks cheated it is what it is, he did what he had to do to win.
While honour in piracy does exist, like the davy back being used by Xebec to amass his crew, a straight up battle with nothing decided beforehand doesn't need to have any.
At the end of the day Loki could go full zoan and launch what might as well be called a ki blast and destroy shanks's ship and most of his crew.
If shanks is indeed willing to use "underhanded" tactics to achieve his goals, then you can say he'd be willing to do that against Blackbeard too.

People say Shanks cheated and didn't fight fair against Loki. Though Gaban clearly said "Shanks" did that, not "Red hair pirates" as whole, then Gaban either didn't explain it well, or Shanks alone caught Loki offguard which would be still a great feat considering Loki's durability.
That's the argument that people use against Shanks.
However, some people who says this, also say that Shanks is a swordsman and he doesn't fight dirty. That we see all of Shanks's abilities, he should fight without cheating, only by using sword.
I believe Shanks can fight dirty, which aligns with what Shanks said before;
Shanks: "We're pirates! We don't play by the rules!"
Zolo: "I get it, you're just a blood thirsty brute!"
Alber: "I've never understood why anyone would stick to traditional forms and techniques in a real battle."
Zolo: "I guess you have a point, you never claimed to be a swordsman after all."
Which means Shanks isn't just a swordsman, he won't be limited with being a swordsman because he can fight dirty as some people say about the Loki fight, thus he isn't limited with the WGS title.
We also know Shanks has CoO killer ability that has nothing to do with swordsmanship, which is another technique that proves Shanks can't be limited by swordsmanship and WGS.
