Thats bullshit all oden did was jump and fight and honed his oden nitoryu which he even tried to teach the scabbards
shanks wouldnt get stronger without fighting with his sword either
try reading the story
Oden's goal was never to be Number One swordsman. Did he took pride on his sword style, yeah.
Was he reckless and charged everytime he met a stronger opponent, Hell yeah.
But those things doesn't take away the fact that he spent most of adulthood traveling the world, uncovering the WG's secrets by reading poneglyphs for Roger and fulfilling his dream of becoming the free man he always wanted to be.
Don't be so narrow minded my friend. I never brought up Oden and why is it so hurtful for you to accept that another swordsman otherthan Mihawk can have best CoA. It doesn't take away anything from him. So chill.

Well Mihawk has passion about swords. He has dedicated his whole life in becoming the best there is. Of course he will have a black sword. Shanks on the other hand has different passion and a way of life. Shanks wasn't actively searching for the worthy opponents to fight and become the number one. While Mihawk was having battles all over the world to become the number one, Shanks was busy partying and becoming the Yonko. They both led different life so we can't compare their haki stats on the basis of their swords.
Long story short, Mihawk had more time to play with his swords. lol
so mihawk should have had more chances of blooming haki in extreme situations, right? and if not that, then simply by dedicating his life to become the best, which shanks did not do. The result would then still be that mihawks coa should be superior.

why can't the spotlight be shared..?? Just because Mihawk has Black Blade, he alone should be the one with superior haki..:kayneshrug:
But yeah, he might be slightly superior than Shanks in terms of CoA. Unless Oda proves otherwise.

its a common theory, but this has yet to be confirmed. we do not even know if Mihawk made Yoru black or if it was given to him.
while I believe that he did we should still treat this as a theory and nothing more.

I still say its Mihawk. mainly because I can not see much else going to the guy except that.
hes certainly not at the pinnacle of CoO so it pretty much has to be CoA for him.

also, stronger CoA does not necessarily win vs weaker CoA. we have already seen this.
even no-CoA can beat CoA by pure force.
Mihawk's nickname is "the clairvoyant" and there has been emphasis on his eyes and sight. I wouldn't be quick to dismiss him as a COO god.

It's laughable to suggest that Mihawk lacks flow when Hyougoro and Kawamatsu were capable of it.

We know for a fact that Roger failed to blacken his sword.
I never said Mihawk lacks flow, but im gonna suggest he can do what Roger and WB did until he actually does it. Mihawk isnt weaker than them though

Roger's failure to blacken his sword means Mihawl has better koka. Roger's feat suggests he's more proficient in manipulating excess Haki energy. Which doesnt make him stronger than Mihawk, but gives him an out to win lol

Its how i compare Luffy and Zoro's Haki. Zoro has better stronger Koka than Luffy, but Luffy currently is proficient in Haki energy manipulation to the point it evens out the chances when it comes to a 1 v 1 fight if we're talking about Haki vs Haki specifically.

  • Eh, we do not know that Mihawk wasn't capable of the flow manipulation Roger demonstrated.
    • I think he was.
  • We know Roger wasn't capable of blackening his blade.

Maybe, but i'll wait for him to show it before saying he can. Its safer that way

We know Roger wasn't capable of blackening his blade.
We know this. However not doing that doesnt matter when you're just as powerful in using Haki to hit without physical contact. Im not saying Roger is a stronger swordsman that Mihawk. Im saying Roger is still capable of beating him thanks to how he manipulates his flow on top of how massive his Haki pool is demonstrated. They both seem to have equally powerful Haki in terms of different usage to me lol.

On re evaluation though, i agree it seems Mihawk currently has the strongest CoA in the verse. Its between him and Garp for me. So ill play it safe and say both equally have the best rn.
