No it doesn't.

From the Ace novel, it was stated majority of Shanks fame came from the fact that he fought against Mihawk. This novel is written whilse Ace was alive, a couple of years after Shanks became a yonko.

So if Shanks was known/famous for being a yonko, why would they novel state that majority of his fame came from fighting Mihawk?
while I'm sure THE FIRST TIME Shanks BECAME WORLD FAMOUS cause of that duel ....

well

- any fair man can agree it was the same for Mihawk
- base on real translation, it said " the first thing that came in Ace mind about Shanks was his duels" ... you can read the thread and it's corrected ... so the thing you said was just a bad translation ...

- Here we go again this shit never end .
■ Shanks is a swordman VC confirmed that mihawk waiting for a swordman stronger than the clown shanks .
■ Shanks or any top tier use ther haki with their fighting style there is no hakiman or any other shit .
■ Clown Shanks used his sword against ace despite being having your delusional Space Time Coc .
I always take a argument seriously when they attack the subject they are talking about

that's pure fairness and logic with 0% being biased

A swordsman, but going off the games (I know they aren't canon but I imagine Oda has some input) he has alternative methods of fighting too (i.e. a gun) unlike Mihawk, Zoro etc.

I think from Mihawks comment about "not wanting to fight a 1 armed man" Shanks may be a tiny bit weaker but not too sure yet, not enough info imo

Haki itself has never been a fighting style, it only compliments the actual fighting styles. They all use Haki.
Shanks is logically a swordsman. There is no doubt about it.

He's a hakiman like Roger.

He is a former rival of the Mihawk, who disputed sword duels in the past. Then he lost his main arm (he was left-handed) and then he became much weaker than Mihawk and no longer competes for the WSS title.

So, to get around this huge loss of power, he received a huge power-up that put him on the yonkou level 4 years later. He got a technique for channeling the king's haki, which would basically be channeling his haki power with his sword skills.
So he stopped being a swordsman who relies on his cutting skills and swordsman techniques, and as soon as he lost his arm he uses his sword as an extension of his haki power, just as the WB's bisent is a weapon that extends the power of earthquake, and just like Roger's sword was an extension of the haki's power, or Kizaru's sword is an extension of his light powers. But none of them use their sword as their primary force to cut icebergs and compete for the strongest swordsman.

Shanks and Roger are traditional pirate prototypes, they don't even use a samurai sword, they use pirate sabers, traditional pirate weapons and Oda infacts that.

Shanks has never been said to be a swordsman, in any databook, in any manga statement, or in any magazine. Oda on SBS asked how Shanks really fights. It is very obvious that he is no longer a swordsman who disputes the WSS title

Shanks is basically a very strong swordsman who's extremely adept in utilising haki. Just not on the astronomical level of Mihawk on both fronts.
He's barely no. 3 in terms of swordmanship and he fails massively on CoA and CoO, comparetiviely speaking with the World's Strongest Swordsman. He couldn't turn his blade black nor does he possess an epithet that depicts legendary CoO. CoC he might just be better at but I doubt it given his shitty track record.
:josad:
All in all he's basically just a BTEC version of Mihawk. A snitch. And the lapdog of the Gorosei.

in CoO ... not sure

in CoA ... Shanks so far seem like the only person who can use lighting Haki like Roger and Whitebeard

in CoC ... well what happen if CoC get the respect we say it have?

Shanks was said to be a top class swordsman in Databook Red.
Oda answer about Shanks fighting style was ironic.

OT: Shanks is a powerful character but not the stronger one. He is a swordsman but not the stronger one. He is one of the Yonko but not the stronger one.

it's funny thing

if you ask right now : would Zoro give a scar to Kaido ?
100% of them would say yes ...
why?

cause the hype around it lead you in that way
cause the myth around it lead you in that way
cause that's what make the most sense for plot


so they are willing to say Zoro will give Kaido a scar without ANY ON SCREEN CLEAR HINT ABOUT ZORO EVEN WANTING TO FACE KAIDO

but

when some one use the same type logic for Shanks and CoC
all the sudden
all the hype , character capabilities and story arc and everything like that ... is been called

delusion
fan fiction
BS

and so on ...


hmmm ... I'm so bored of this argument ... but maybe that give you something to think about

majority of one piece fandom already are in Shanks's side ... so no need to really fight hard ...

but would be lovely to see a bit of fairness here .... guess not

I will start a conversation with you be ready :
Why did i say mihawl stronger than shanks and he is a swordman ?

■ he fought mihawk all those years and he got his fame from hawkeye and that was said ik Ace novel and WB's speech .
■ shanks used his sword against Wb and akainu and ace but his space time Coc didn't make him put down a rookie like ace but he wanted to use his sword .
■ Vc confirmed Mihawk waiting for a swordman stronger than his rival .
- shanks confirmed as a swordman and he is weaker than mihawk .
.........
.....
If you want me to continue i will add some other facts

Yes, in the databook it says "WAS"
'' Your sword skills WERE the best in the world ''
until he lost his main arm and his sword skills became very weak.

nowadays Oda puts a question mark on his skills, which makes it clear that Shanks no longer trusts his swordsman techniques and he does not dispute the WSS title

for any anti claim that there is .... I already gave all of you guys an answer ... so don't even assume I have time to do it all over again

Shanks is weaker swordsman
Shanks is better Haki user

over all surpass Mihawk or maybe Prime Zoro ... depend on CoC power level


the more you try to attack Shanks
the bigger would be your fall

we are only one arc away :)
