Shanks is considered handicap by mihawk, if you're blind like the fujitora is blind but have observation haki and there is where the compensation is, how can shanks compensate for his missing arm , he can't or have not yet . What he can do to compensate is install a mechanical arm and then he will no longer be a handicap
He compensates in raw power, he has only gotten stronger since he lost his arm
You already lost.
I fail to see how for comical reasons ; Nami hitting the two is relevant.
Are you KIDDING ME?! HAKI IS THE EPITOME OF STRENGTH. I've proven to you multiple times that Shanks is a swordsman. Unlike such a point , you cannot prove either has superior Haki anwyays. But because of Mihawks allocated title (by the Gorousei and a built up reputation ; most probably when they all have knowledge of both characters power. Shanks would be called the worlds strongest swordsman if he won his duel with Mihawk. But he isn't. So he therefore didn't win.)
Shanks only uses a sword with Haki (much like Mihawk) Prove he doesn't and then your point MIGHT be relevant.
Neither does turning up to MF with an entire crew. So you think Zoro is now the strongest swordsman? Right...
Because you totally need stamina,strength and speed to pull a trigger. Right? Physical strength is the joint main attribute of swordsmanship ; therefore (as you said) , with it being irrelevant , you just proved how your own example is illegit.
You clearly don't know the logic I am using. My logic is : since Shanks is a swordsman and Mihawk is hailed as the strongest swordsman , it's evident that Mihawk is stronger, although by a tiny margin. It's not difficult to understand. And you have yet to prove or refute a single successful point aganst my logic.
He uses his sword (at the heart of his combat style) , hence he is a swordsman (as it is the most important part of his combat style). He chose a sword. Clearly because he is skilled with one (especially if he had other choices of weaponry). Do you classify Law as a swordsman?
You've been guessing with nothing to back your points up the whole time. He has been shown with a sword only once. You stand corrected.
He's been shown in battle once. He used a sword for the entirity of said battle. You stand corrected. And the power of the bullets is due to Haki (which is a supplement to all fighting styles , so now do you think anyone who can use Haki is not a swordsman?)
But yet it changes nothing as this battle is (and should be) based categorically and not speculatively.
Yes Shanks has only used a sword in combat, but the amount of times he has fought and the length of his fights doesnt prove that he is purely a swordsman. With all the stuff Mihawk has done as well as his hype, we can see that Mihawk is only a swordsman, a better swordsman than Shanks, so all that this proves is that Mihawk is a better swordsman than Shanks. It does not mean that Mihawk is overall stronger than shanks though. I have already explained my reasons to why i think shanks is stronger than mihawk based on their journey since the time they were on par many years ago
The whole point with zoro and mihawk fodderizing fodder was to say that your point of Mihawk beating Don Krieg's crew means nothing and is totally irrelevent. If zoro can do it to a stronger crew and is far below mihawk then defeating those crews are no real feats
Again I know what your logic is. <--- You see that, that is a Period, meaning what is after is not the same thought unless directly addressed. I acknowledged that i knew your logic, but the part after that wasnt explaining your logic because it would be pointless to explain your logic if both of us knew your logic already.
The difference between fujitora using his powers and Law using his own powers is very wide. Fujitora uses his sword to apply his powers and he is probably a swordsman, his swordsmanship has almost nothing to do with his DF ability, The sword is a good plus as he can extend his reach for certain abilities, but those abilities have nothing to do with swordsmanship. Law on the other hand needs his sword since even though it is not completely explain it seems like he needs to have his sword to cut what ever is in his room, so in this case swordsmanship is need to fully use his ablities and enhance them.
Roger has only been shown twice outside of captivity. Once with WB and once when he goes against shiki, we cant see if was carrying a sword when he was with WB but he does raise one against shiki. There is more proof that he is a swordsman than he isnt, Shanks is barely shown throughout the series and almost never raises his sword once or twice. There is more evidence saying that shanks is a swordsman than he isnt. In both cases they never really engage in full combat or almost any combat at all, so in both cases we cannot say that their skills are limited to swordsmanship.
In the One Piece world accuracy is not the only thing you need in being a sharp shooter, most projectiles in the series do not have much destructive power at all and are not rapid fire meaning a good sharpshooter would need the ability to accurately hit a target, probably use haki or some other means to effectively hurt the target, be fast enough to dodge their opponents attacks especially non sharpshooters and so on. The accuracy is the exchange for the strength like i already said.
Rayleigh has been shown fighting kizaru, then the marines at MF, then the beginning of the training with luffy. He fights with a sword against kizaru, uses haki abilities without a sword at the other two places. His strength with haki shows us that he is very skilled with applying haki to almost any form of combat even with the few scenes he does show his abilities
The whole point i am trying to push is that even though people fit into certain categories, such as a swordsman, it does not mean that the person who is the most skilled in that category is not the strongest person there. If WB decided to take up swordsmanship a year before he died, he could have been somewhat skilled in swordsmanship but not the best swordsman, but either way he would still be stronger than Mihawk, even if WB used a sword against him, WB still has other abilities and skills.
I think Shanks has the same thing going for him, he is not the greatest swordsman like mihawk but i think he is still stronger than mihawk
