Powers & Abilities Swordsmanship in OP

#1
With how prevalent swordmanship is in OP, do you guys think Oda should have done more to flesh it out?

  • More unique sword styles(like Zoro)
  • Elemental sword abilities(Brook Ice, Zoro wind)
  • More Swords that ate a DF
  • Cursed swords having their own unique effect(like transforming the user)
These are some ideas that I think would have been pretty cool and would have given a much needed variety among swordsmen in OP

There needs to be more explanation about the art of swordsmanship and why it's the best fighting style in the series. Garp is literally the only high-level character without a Devil Fruit who doesn't use a sword. Even Big Mom has swordsmanship as her primary fighting style.

Could have been more fleshed out for sure, If you look at Mihawk at mf vs every other swordsman its like look at the variety of the slashes he can output, the size, the length, the shape. He can coil slashes around targets he doesn’t care to hit without sacrificing power and strikes with deadly precision. Other characters we see very basic swordsmanship paired with like a devil fruit, some kind of gimmick or racial trait, others just swing widely with a lot of force. I guess at the end of the day thats one piece swordsmanship. I wish there were more like Mihawk that focused on sword specific technique and showed more control with what they can do is what i’m trying to say.
