First it was "They different 'cause they have CoC!" cope until Zoro got it, now it's "They different because when they use
CoC with their sword swing, instead of creating a slash, it creates a BLAST!"
Jesus Christ, there's no fucking end, is it? You even randomly brought up Shanks who hasn't even done anything remotely similar.
Not that it's true for Roger to begin with. It was literally a sword attack, hell, when Vivre Card used the same panel to introduce
Ace as one of the 12 top graded blades. Something super swordsmanship related.
But, of course, because Oda didn't draw Oden with a gash across his stomach, it's automatically disqualified from being a swordsman, even though it is literally out of him swinging with his sword.
Meanwhile likes of Kinemon generating fire is swordsmanship. Brook generating ice and freezing his opponents is swordsmanship.
HELL, Ikoku, something that literally did to Kidd what Kamusari did to Oden is canonically stated to be swordsmanship.
But sure, it's only exception now.
Jesus Christ. At this point there will come a time where you people will start screaming "SHANKS DODGED! He dodged without using his sword! That's why he's not puRe swordsman"
