General & Others The nail in the coffin for Shanks is not a swords theorists

Can Mihawk even use divine departure?:choppawhat:
Mihawk has canonically better sword skills than Shanks. Which was supported for years by the community.
Therefore yes Mihawk can use “Divine Departure” and habetter sword skills in his bag.

I repeat : Shanks is a genius to have been able to mimic Roger’s sword skill and Mihawk have better sword skills than Shanks.
Let that sink in :pepehawk:

Yes, it means Shanks'/Roger's signature move was available to him when he fought Mihawk, so the only difference between pre Yonko and Yonko Shanks would be ACoC, but we know ACoC is an amplifier used by swordsmen too, as Zoro himself did it. And if Mihawk considered Shanks a rival in swordsmanship, Zoro will also consider Shanks an obstacle in the pursuit of becoming the WSS.

Now Roger wasn't called the WSS, but that's probably because his title as great pirate and PK was more relevant, and the WSS title was more of a thing as the great era of piracy started and people set sail to conquer.

How do we know roger wasnt the wss ?
Rayleigh wasnt neither or oden

Mihawk fought shanks many times and awaits for a swordmaster above shanks who has roger s swordskills
This makes mihawk look even better
If there was no definitive WSS at Rogers time, then I would argue that no one at that time was good enough to create a distinction between themselves and everyone else, which is what Mihawk has done, proof of that is his black blade. It would just have been discussed who it could be.

When will shanks fans iq go above the room temperature?
Its not a sword,wb has a df and uses punches
Shanks never kicked once or punched,how can you compare them
Ace joins his teritory he goes for his sword
Vs wb goes for sword
Vs gb grabs his sword
Vs kidd his sword
Etc:pepeclown:
So you dumb clowns only wank Mihawk because hilt of WB's blade is longer? :suresure:

If Roger was alive, Mihawk still would be WGS, so Shanks who uses same style as Roger > Mihawk as well.

No, swordsmanship is just one aspect of combat.

Oda made it clear who is stronger overall
Yes, Oda made it clear and you don't understand it.

Swordsmanship = fighting style.
Sword skill = fighting strength.

More detail:

Swordsmanship is the skills and techniques used in combat and training with any type of sword. In One Piece there's no limitation to the skills and techniques one can use in battle with a sword. Any and everything is allowed.

Sword skill is your skill level when it comes to using different skill, ability, and technique and the power level to all of your skill, ability, and technique. IE: having the skills to coat your swords with overwhelming haki and possessing haki powerful enough to force a Gorosei to block a haki coated attack.

When the Scabbards failed to even reopen Kaido's old wound with their combination attack Kaido said it was because they lack Oden's sword skill. Since they were using the same swordsmanship and sword style as Oden that means Kaido was talking about their strength and power, not fighting style.

When the manga compares Mihawk sword skill to Shanks sword skill it is comparing a fighting strength, not that fighting style. Mihawk's bounty is based on his strength and power.

Oda already clarified that Mihawk is only superior in swordsmanship, making it clear who is stronger overall

Shanks mid diff Mihawk
Oda also said shanks vs mihawk is the dream matchup, this is a statement he made, no "dream match up" can be a mid diff, so if you're gonna get on your knees for what oda did, you have to accept it's minimum extreme diff as a shanks tard no less
