Questions & Mysteries WGS is proven to be skill based title once again

#1
Xebec's swordsmanship was described as ''brutal''. Yet no info about him having WGS title or black blade. Same as Roger not having WGS or black blade.

His strongest technique doesn't cut, just like Roger's and Shanks's Kamusari.

Same pattern. Just like Roger wasn't WGS, Xebec wasn't called WGS by narrator when it literally explains his technique. But doesn't say its WGS.

If you think Luffy's underling victim Mihawk is even remotely close to someone like Xebec, Roger or WB you are very biased.

Mihawk himself admitted WB is stronger. And WB was canonically strongest man over Mihawk as well.

Change WB with Xebec or Roger, they would strongest man over Mihawk as well.

Its clear that Oda explaining to us why Shanks > Mihawk by also showing us Xebec and Roger are not WGS despite being strongest man of their era.

Xebec also used pistol but thats not the topic, topic is; WGS is proven to be not power related otherwise Xebec or Roger would be WGS.

Its skill related, all Zolo need to do match Mihawk's Haki and physical stats and surpass his skill level.

Xebec's or Roger's Haki and physical stats > Mihawk's physical stats.:BigW:

doesnt necessarily take other aspects into account
I guess the question is, what are the “other aspects”?

As in what aspects of combat exactly aren’t counted as “sword skill”… I mean Xebec’s entire swordsmanship is counted as “sword skill” and that includes all his haki, and physical strength and Speed… And strangely enough Zoro’s KoH is also called sword skill, yet it’s all of Zoro’s haki and strength and speed… Even stranger, Brook directly calls his Music and Feezing attacks “sword skills” too

so… What exactly is “not part of sword skill” to begin with?
Yet no info about him having WGS title or black blade.
well People don’t get the WSS title by default, you have to do something to get it

Mihawk is stated to have singlehandedly gone around the world and fought every swordsman worth fighting until there was no swordsman stronger than him.

Xebec didn’t do this. Roger didn’t either. They were obviously the strongest swordsmen in the world, but the title didn’t exist since Mihawk is the one who went around the world to prove he was the strongest

When I think sword skill i think overall technique with the sword the way they parry, block, swing, and even how much strength is behind each swing but then there's other aspects that makes swordsmen stronger without necessarily being apart of swordsmanship such as Haki, Endurance, Stamina, Agility, Durability, etc etc

So why is Zoro’s KoH called Sword skill? Why does brook call his music and freezing abilities sword skills? Why does the narrator call Xebec’s Haki canon blasts Sword skills?

Xebec's is a sword skill because he uses his sword as the catalyst for said blast and theres no evidence he can do so without it, he swings so hard it's like canon blast (strength of swing is apart of swordskill)

Brooks freezing and music are devil fruit abilities that he uses his sword has a conduit, they aren't necessarily sword skills but he utilizes his sword to do them thus considered one of his personal sword skills and while doing the attacks he uses fencing style fighting techniques making it a sword skill, it's not the power its the swordsmanship and technique he uses when employing said power

Idk who said KOH was a sword skill but its not, not at all Zoro is a swordsman who when utilizing enough Haki enters the king of hell state, its nothing to do with swordsmanship

The Vivre card calls Zoro’s last attack on king his strongest “Sword skill”. The attack that was Called “KoH: 3 Serpent dragon damnation”

you’ve not explained why Mihawk’s title is about Swinging and parrying and blocking yet people are shown making Music with their sword skills… Why isnt Mihawk allowed to Use haki in his sword skill yet Music can be used in sword skills?

3 serpent dragon is a technique that utilizes his swords, he just happens to be in KOH when he does it, KOH itself isnt a sword skill its a state of being, just like g5 Luffy isn't a fighting technique its a transformation that can use different techniques

Haki can be used in swordskill and anything else, Haki is an augmentation more than anything else it augments the swordskill or whatever skill its being applied to for example a swordsman with amazing observation Haki will be able to use the sword skills block and parry much easier than someone with no haki, it adds to the sword skill but Haki itself isn't necessarily a swordskill same with Brooks music, Brooks music by itself isnt a swordskill but it adds more oomph when used in conjuction with said a swordskill

So what exactly makes Mihawk’s sword skills better than brook? You’re going to say something about parrying and blocking but Brook’s swordsmanship isn’t measured on that… Swordsmanship is a fighting style… Brook’s music Swordmanship is measured on how many people it can knock out from the sound not how well it blocks or parries or cuts, Brook won the fight by knocking people out with musical swordsmanship so that’s the measure of effectiveness of his fighting style.

how do you measure that Mihawk’s parrying is considered “better” than Brook’s knocking out of fodder? I mean mihawk is called the best right? Meaning there must be a hierarchy with some kind of criteria telling us that Mihawk blocks SO WELL that his Sword blocks are somehow considered “Better” than Brook’s Music knock outs? Somehow

do you see where I’m going with this? What is the universal criteria that cuts across every single ridiculous swordsmanship ability we’ve seen in the manga that somehow determines that Mihawk is on top of the entire World.

What exactly tells us that Mihawk’s sword parrying is objectively better than T-bone’s ability to bend the trajectory of his sword slashes at right angles. I mean in my mind T-bones’ swordsmanship 100 times more impressive than Mihawk parrying good. Niji’s swordmanship involves him creating electricity and cutting people at “light speed”. That also seems way more impressive than mihawk. Zoro uses AdvCoC swordsmanship and Kaido wanks AdvCoC as the top power of the verse so already Zoro is seemingly better than Mihawk.

I can go on. With every power every swordsman has ever used that’s considered Swordmanship. Why is Mihawk the best one when Mihawk can’t even do a fraction of all the above?

here’s my answer for what the universal criteria that creates a hierarchy amongst all swordsmen and swordsmanship in the verse no matter what power or what bodies the swordsmen have (as in like Harald being the size of a skyscraper and Hyouzo have 8 limbs, both of their bodies will obviously affect the nature of their Swordmanship and Mihawk will once again have no ability to match their body differences) or anything.

Do you wanna know how Mihawk can prove he’s a better swordsman than whichever power and ability and swordsman exists in the verse? Well, he can win. Swordsmanship is a fighting style. The better swordsman is the one that won the fight. The better sword skills are the ones that won the fight. No matter the gimmick or DF ability added on or however many Swordsmen add other fighting styles to their combat mid fight… The winner of the fight is always the superior one.

Simple right?

That's fair, Mihawk doesn't have many of the bonuses many swordsman have but that just speaks levels to the level Mihawk has achieved, I think we'll get a lot of answers during the mihawk vs zoro fight

Why is Mihawk considered the greatest? Was it an earned title or just world government propaganda?

How did Mihawk blacken his blade when many others couldnt not even Shanks who was once his greatest rival?

Many questions surrounding Mihawk

Um, you realize that this is Zoro’s dream right?

the main problem that I always come across with these arguments is that they always end up here… with the notion that maybe Zoro’s dream is false.

Like of all the strawhats, Zoro is the one people want to single out as the One strawhat with a false dream or a dream he will never achieve or some people even think Zoro will abandon his dream…. all for the sake of agenda
