Powers & Abilities The actual ultimate thread on swordsmanship - Part 1

Sword usage/variety is far more prominent and popular in OP cuz this is a Japanese manga written for a Japanese audience and Japanese history dictates that swords are the embodiment of shonen coolness and readership popularity itself.
Though I don’t really think Oda himself believes every attack used with a sword can be considered “swordsmanship,” just like how King channeling his Lunarian powers through his sword isn’t really swordsmanship.

i am not confusing anything lol No touching comes from Ryou as explained by the old man to luffy, a SWORDSMAN will use that same ability to cut steel or not cut steel depending on the intent of the swordsman. No where in the manga is it stated that Adv coc is the ability used to cut steel or not cut anything no where in the manga is it said that Advcoc makes a barrier it is RYOU.
Adv Coc can be infused into fist/weapons you must know how to flow your ryou in order to flow adv coc.
As a example Zoro is a swordsman using adv coc combining ryou his intent vs king was to Scar/ injure him that is exactly what happened he took his wing.
Roger as a swordsman using adv coc combining ryou (chose to not cut oden) the result sent oden flying damaging him internally.
Shanks as a swordsman using adv coc combining ryou (chose to cut through the steel rail gun but not cut kidd) the result with the explosion ko killer and kidd and left kidd without a scar.
ITS ALL ON THE INTENT OF THE SWORDSMAN WHICH IS A RYOU BASED ABILITY NOT ADVCOC THE ABILITIES ARE USED IN TANDEM
Luffy himself directly tells us what he is using when he does the no touch (RYOU), but we also know he is using adv coc in his final attack.
Ryou is the ability to not touch IT IS ALSO THE ABILITY USED BY SWORDSMEN TO CUT WHAT THEY WANT TO CUT AND NOT CUT A PIECE OF PAPER
roger can cut or not cut with divine departure
shanks can cut or not cut with divine departure
zoro can cut or not cut as well but as he himself said as a kid
He wants to cut up everything lol

CoC comes from the Mind it can't be infused like CoA that comes from the body. #Bougya
Good Thread.
This can be simplified in a single statement as well:
Any attack done with a sword is swordsmanship.
It doesn't matter if you use Haki, DF or any other boost, only thing that matters is if the attack is done with a sword.
I've said this before as well, there is no such thing as Sword Skill in this series. And anyone who uses a sword as a primary form of combat is a Swordsman.

Muttoryu Tatsumaki is an attack not performed by a sword and yet is swordsmanship. 
Only other attack that we can count as similar to that is probably Rankyaku.
But the main thing is, if you use a sword to perform an attack then its automatically swordsmanship.
The attacks i mentioned above are outliers.
