This basically proves the difference between swordsman ''sword skill'' and Haki users difference.
Post Alabasta Z0lo could cut steel, but was helpless vs Logia Enel,
Due to not being able to use regular Haki like some randoms in new world, Marigold and Sandersonia etc
Another proof, Mihawk says he needs to use Haki ALL TIMES to protect his sword from nicks and scratches:
Yet couldn't cut Daz from long distance
Cutting steel is different than using Haki as we know Mihawk uses Haki to protect his sword and is a Haki user,
Mihawk: ''you must treat every nick as a mark of shame''
No reason to assume he doesn't use Haki here, as he uses his black blade, not even KNIFE.
If a long distance slash is enough, Mihawk would send another long distance slash and cut Daz, but he needs to get close to cut him:
Z0lo can sense Kinemon is a Haki user (just like Luffy knew Z0lo and Sanji were Haki users in PH), yet Z0lo still didn't know if Kinemon can cut steel or not:
While some ZKKfans makes excuses as usual about this:
1- Haki user Alber, who can turn his sword black, still wasn't a swordsman:
''you never claimed to be a swordsman''
2- Shanks's fighting panels are very few. No one can be sure if Shanks isn't like Alber or not (can mix with other techniques, elbows, kicks, headbutts etc)
3- Another main difference between Shanks/Roger, Z0lo/Mihawk:
-Roger and Shanks's best sword attacks DOES NOT CUT
-Z0lo and Mihawk's best sword attacks ALWAYS CUTS
And Mihawk's superior WB's equal Roger, was not WGS despite using same sword style as Shanks.
