It's weird how he makes all those top swordsmen at worst grey dudes... Mihawk, Vista, Fuji ...they all are more good than bad and not really in conflict with Zoro

Only one seems Shiryu but he is a gimmick pony and looks like a rejected street fighter design

I pray we don't go the stupid Shiryu somehow beats Mihawk way just to create some tension for the BB crew fight
I think with the recent reveal that Shiryu took Absalom’s fruit, it’s become increasingly unlikely that Shiryu can defeat Mihawk. I mean, what’s invisibility to a man that Oda was going to nickname ‘clairvoyant’? Fuji’s level of CoO allows him to feel others’ presence even if he can’t physically see them, Shiryu’s fruit is basically useless against him as well.

Since CoA is Zoro’s specialty, it’s not surprising that he will achieve a higher mastery of it first, but his COO definitely needs work and Shiryu would be the perfect opponent for him before he faces Mihawk. Worst case scenario Zoro and Sanji could tag team Shiryu, although I’d say Zoro would be very opposed to the idea lol.

If Zoro has to tag-team it to beat Shiryu, he doesn't deserve to get a duel with Mihawk.

Shiryu and Kizaru for COO practice.



I posted it in the other thread but Kizaru may indeed be a swordsman.


While Kizaru used his sword against Ray, the only person capable of hurting him so far. It could be due to the fact that in order to safely engage Ray, he had to use a sword.



But WB also had a bladed weapon yet Kizaru didn't need a sword against him.



Here for example WB drops his bisento to utilize his power better, and use as much of his strength as he can



But Kizaru in his most serious clash/fight on panel opted for a sword



Now as I said it could be due to the fact that swordsman are extremely lethal, but he didn't use it against WB who he could overpower without it. WB perhaps could not use his haki efficiently.


Also note that Kizaru was pissed off because Ray stopped him.


One could play with the idea of him being a swordsman.

I don’t think Zoro would want to tag team either but the fact is that Sanji’s dream was to eat the invisible fruit and Oda is very much addicted to running gags. If Sanji found out about Shiryu’s ability, he’d definitely have some kind of strong reaction to it.

I would actually like to see another Zoro-Sanji tag team similar to Davy Back. It’s been too long since we’ve seen Zoro team up with or lead the crew to make shit happen.

I am actually holding out my hope for the 10th Titanic Captain being a swordsman, specifically, the 2nd strongest swordsman in the World.

Shiryu is a gone case.

Shanks is one-handed, so he has been relegated to the 3rd place with Fuji at 4th.:wellwell:
Nah, Shanks is still up there.
Mihawk's vc states he awaits the day someone will surpass Shanks to be able to challenge him.


Fuji is a swordsman, and stated as such



Mihawk would battle Fuji if Fuji were stronger than Shanks.

Imo, from the swordsman we know of currently
Mihawk>Shanks>Fuji>old Ray
If Kizaru actually is a swordsman he is up there a bit weaker than Shanks a bit stronger than Fuji

Yeah! Mihawk is waiting for somebody stronger than Prime Shanks. It is very much possible that somebody as strong as Prime Shanks already exist.

Anyway, I am joking.

I know man.

I just found it useful to share that now, not exactly directed at you.

I would also like to know how you, and the others, would rank the swordsmen we currently have.

Your top 10 swordsmen, strength wise, guys?

Do you regard Law, Cracker, Shiryu as swordsmen?

No Zoro as well. I can see him above Vista by now.

I left Zoro out, because I can't pin-point him right now. I guess he would be somewhere between Vista and Oden. Also, I was basically scaling rest of the swordsmen.

Law, Cracker and Shiryu have never proclaimed themselves to swordsmen, have they? If so, then Law will be at Vista Level and Cracker would be Ashura level. I can't pin-point Shiryu.

There was something here I shared earlier that labelled Law a swordsman, it was from Usopp's gallery iirc. I think it is pretty obvious, at least that Shiryu is a swordsman, but I understand what you are saying.
