sword user ≠ swordsman confirmed by oda keep coping
I know that. That's why Oda told us King is not a swordman. While calling Roger and Shanks swordsman/swordsmaster.



manga > anything else
keep coping broski
:pepebuggy:
That's only true if the information is contradicting and there's nothing to contradict those two about being a swordsman. Remember, a lot of information is giving out in other sources for example, bounties.
 
Youre still saying the same thing, except you changed the words from Air Bar to CoC blasts so why act like you never said it?

Besides, Ikoku is a confirmed Elbaf swordsmanship technique.



Yet it doesn't cut Kid at all.

Gan Modoki is a confirmed Oden Nitoryu technique.
Which again doesn't cut at all.



Zoro's pre-ts Hawk Wave also does not cut.



So what gives? :pepehawk:
@Chaves

To add to his Hawk Wave point, this is the DB entry of the ability:

Takanami :

- A technique that can defeat distant enemies with the wind pressure generated by two swords swung at high speed. A wavy shock wave attacks the enemy over a wide area. The power is a little inferior to the three-sword style technique, but it is enough to defeat an ordinary swordfighter.
Literally stated to be a shockwave and not a slash there.

This is a slashing technique, because Big Mom slashed:


Big Mom's Ikoku doesn't feel like a cutting technique (swordman ability) to me, but a shock wave that pulverizes everything that passes
Databook is not a good enough argument, shown several times wrong does not have enough credibility

But even if you count this technique as a cutting technique, it won't refute my argument at all. Incidentally, WB used his sword to cut BB. Big Mom used a swordsmanship skill to cut the Kid's mechanical bull. King used his swordplay skills to fight CQC against Zoro

The difference is: sword users like Big Mom, Whitebeard, King, Kizaru, Fujitora and etc, even if they have sword skills, they don't use cutting skills as the main weapon in their arsenal. So they don't meet the WSS criteria

Zoro using a technique other than slashing a few times doesn't affect the fact that his swordsmanship is his primary weapon.
Just like in the manga, it always exaggerates Mihawk's abilities as his swordsmanship skills.
The manga exaggerates Zoro's abilities being his swordsmanship skills.
Meanwhile, the manga exaggerates Shanks' abilities being his haki, not his swordsmanship

For example, which is more reasonable to think about Shanks' final attack?
Being a cutting attack capable of slashing an island?
Or an immense golden Nordic God created by your CoC?

I would say 100% for sure that the CoC skill is the most likely, and anyone who is unprejudiced and is mentally healthy should believe that too.

You didn't even read anything I said :kaidowhat:

Ikoku Sovereignty. Canonically proven a swordsmanship attack yet does exact same shit as Roger's.

Gan Modoki. Literally showed you a panel of Oden using it and the people he uses it on are pushed away while they cough blood from mouth. No cuts on body.

Roger's attack literally looks like any other sword air attack, and behaves exactly the same way as two swordsmanship attacks. Thus, it is a fucking swordsmanship attack.


Again, you didn't even read shit. Chill the fuck out and please read what other people say before responding.

I was referring to explicit choice of showing Kamusari panel as reference while talking about how Roger's blade is one of top 12 graded swords in Vivre Card. Why show a panel for reference where the sword is barely visible and the attack has nothing to do with swordsmanship, according to you?
Did you just correlate Roger's technique with Big Mom's technique without using any arguments in favor of it, just making it up and saying they look like the same technique? Sometimes I skip this kind of argument because the lack of evidence is too shallow to make me argue against it.

It is the Vivre Card which says so. Not the Databook & prove the Vivre Card wrong.

I don't get your point at all.
Ikoku is CLEARLY NOT a cutting Technique but is a CONFIRMED Swordsmanship technique. So that 100% goes against your idea that only Cutting Techniques can be called Swordsmanship.
Same for Oden's Gan Modoki, it's literally called Oden Nitoryu: Gan Modoki and it's a Nitoryu Swordsmanship Technique which doesn't cut.
Same for Zoro's Hawk Wave, it's a Nitoryu technique and doesn't cut.

I showed you THREE examples of CONFIRMED Swordsmanship techniques which don't cut, therefore your argument that ONLY cutting Techniques come under Swordsmanship is false.

For example, which is more reasonable to think about Shanks' final attack?
Being a cutting attack capable of slashing an island?
Or an immense golden Nordic God created by your CoC?
Ill just point out one thing... what is Zoro's final attack?
A Demon God form which allows him to sprout 4 more arms & 2 more heads which Kaku termed as a "manifestation of your Fighting Spirit".
And that comes under Swordsmanship (9 Swords Style). :catsure:

When were these Oden and Zoro nitoryu techniques confirmed to be cutting techniques?
Nitoryu literally means 'two swords', the main key of my argument is that using swords is not necessarily going to use a cutting attack.

However, Ashura is a cutting technique. I'd give my anus if Shanks' final attack is some kind of swordmanship cut

??
They are NOT cutting Techniques since we obviously see them not cut on panel.

Oden Nitoryu does not mean "Two Swords" it means "Two Sword Style", and is the exact same thing Oden says before he uses Paradise Totsuka and other Cutting Techniques.

Essentially I showed you 3 confirmed Swordsmanship Techniques which don't cut. So there is really no basis for your argument to be correct.

However, Ashura is a cutting technique. I'd give my anus if Shanks' final attack is some kind of swordmanship cut
Ashura isn't a cutting technique, 9 Sword Style Silver Mist & Dead Man's Game are cutting Techniques. And I already proved that Swordsmanship is not limited to just cutting techniques.
Besides the point is that you saying that "creating some God form" is not Swordsmanship does not hold any weight because Zoro already creates a form and that comes under Swordsmanship.
