Back to Kizaru being 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 disagree with that. Contrary to what people may believe, Shanks is one of my favourite characters and the man that got me into One Piece.
Also note how in that picture magma is dispersed in various directions, but none of it passes Shanks and his sword, presumably giving us the idea of barrier haki and or deflection haki.

Shanks easily stopping Akainu is a great feat for him, indeed it is.
