Never said this. I said swordsmen, which a person who doesn't use a sword in their core fighting style is not.


That's not the same thing.

1. Madara said Gai is the best Taijutsu user he's ever faced. The word best indicates skill at Taijutsu, rather than strongest in overall fighting capability.

2. Taijutsu user has been specified in the Naruto series as someone who uses little to no Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, relying almost completely or completely on Taijutsu. Sasuke does not fall into this category.


That is not even close to true or the same as what I said.

I said Mihawk's title as WSM makes him stronger than any swordsman. Simply having a sword on your belt doesn't make you a swordsman, so not anyone who carries a sword is a swordsman. That means that a swordsman isn't comparable to a person who just carries a gun. A swordsman is comparable to someone like Yasopp or Lafitte who utilize firearms as part of their core combat.
We've never seen Shanks fight or even know if he has a Devil Fruit or not.

Taijutsu is hand to hand combat.

Mihawk refused to fight Shanks twice while Shanks was ready to take on the entire Shichibukai and Marines. Sounds like fear to me.

If Shanks knew Mihawk was stronger then him, then he wouldn't be so stupid as to challenge everyone knowing he along with his crew would get massacred.

Sekai Saikyō no(Worlds Strongest) Kenshi [Swordsman]


Sekai Saikyō no(Worlds Strongest) Otoko(Man)

They're literally same except for the last part so there is no reason to believe that Mihawk's title is any different.


Regarding the topic:


As Bogard said, you're a swordsman as long as you have swordsmanship as your primary fighting style and you'd fall under Mihawk's title if swordsmanship is your art of expertise. We have no reason to believe why someone who once rivaled current WSSM isn't a swordsman. Besides Oda made them rivals for a reason. Whenever something involving Shanks is mentioned , Mihawk automatically gets involved in it. Why'd Oda specifically focus on Mihawk leaving MF when Shanks went to stop war? Why'd he have Shanks and Whitebeard say his name even now if he's already surpassed by Shanks? It doesn't even make any sense. Moreover, if Shanks with both arms is a rival to Mihawk then what stops Mihawk from being stronger than one armed Shanks? They represent Luffy and Zoro, right? I am pretty sure Zoro would be stronger than Luffy if he were to lose any arm no matter how much he trains with one arm. So what's so why's that people act as if Mihawk can't be stronger than Shanks?

As of now I would say yes unless later on it is specifically mentioned that Shanks doesn't somehow is an exception to the WSS matter.
But I doubt it since it isn't really necessary story wise.

I elaborated your equations but I think your point is quite wrong on this one,
Shanks isn't stronger than Mihawk because of (Yonko>SWS), but that Shanks is the captain of one of the strongest crews in the OP world...
Bro we don't know what Shanks can do wit his haki. Half of WB's crew fainted when he used Conqueror Haki. He easily stopped Akainu's Lava Punch with his sword which made 2 holes in WB's body.Those titles means nothing in OP. For example: God Ussop. U think Ussop can beat anybody because he is God now :) ?
About the strongest crew thing, bro shanks stopped kaido(WSC). I m sure Shanks was the one who fought kaido, rest of his crew stopped guys like Jack, other 2 calamities, 100kaido pirates.

On-Topic:
One thing I need people to consider while comparing people with Mihawk,
Different Warlords caught WG's eye because of their significant activities and that they did with the help of their respective crews while Mihawk roamed the seas alone....
Wrong. Mihawk was not the only guy who roamed alone.
Moriah lost his crew when he fought Kaido.
If I remember properly Perona & Hogback were only guys left in his crew that joined him later.
Perona joined Mihawk now.

Since when was it indicated that Shanks fighting style requires both arms? For all we know he could be a one handed sword/kicks based fighter.

And Also I believe (not 100% sure) that Oda stated that Shanks losing an arm didn't affect how strong he is.

Here is the thing about that. Even if Mihawk>Shanks it doesnt prove that he is stronger than anyone else...Luffy>Enel, but Overall i feel that Enel has better DF matchup vs most characters...So thisw relates that even if Mihawk>Shanks in sword combat, it doesnt mean that shanks isnt a better match up vs most characters...

We've never seen Shanks fight
Sure. But in the times Shanks has been thrown into conflict, what did he reach for?
or even know if he has a Devil Fruit or not.
Uhhh

Taijutsu is hand to hand combat.
Uhhhhhh so?

Mihawk refused to fight Shanks twice while Shanks was ready to take on the entire Shichibukai and Marines. Sounds like fear to me.
Wasn't his job. Mihawk was only contracted to be there to fight WB. Notice he didn't get involved with Teach either.

If Shanks knew Mihawk was stronger then him, then he wouldn't be so stupid as to challenge everyone knowing he along with his crew would get massacred.
You mean like the way he went up into Whitebeard's ship alone and knocked out members of his crew, risking them all attacking him?

To all those noobs saying shanks> mihawk because shanks is a yonkou and mihawk a shichibukai:

Mihawk has no crew, he is a one man army, to be able to be a yonkou one needs a strong crew aswell.
They are yonkous because they own terrotories etc. Which you cant even handle if u are alone. or you need a ****ing strong crew like shanks.
Now switch positions: If mihawk had shanks crew he would easily be a yonkou aswell, i am not saying mihawk>shanks because i dont know but that yonkou argument doesnt count.

what i try to tell you guys is: a yonkou could never be a yonkou without his crew, there a individuals in one piece who are able to compete with the yonkou leaders(kaidou,big mom,shanks,blackbeard) but they have got no crew. do you think dragons revolutionary army could have so much impact without so many members? same goes for the yonkou. for example kadious first calamitie we saw was jack, and he is a ****ing admiral level fighter and i guess his other calamities aswell. they are yonkous because they got a crew so strong to start a war. zzzzz

your post makes no sense.
Shanks already stopped Kaido(World strongest Creature/Pirate)going to MF. Obviously he was the one who fought kaido. His crew must hav fought guys like 3calamiries & 100kaido beast etc.
Shanks stopped Akainu's Lava Punch (Note: Shanks stopped that punch not his crew). Same punch made 2 holes in WB's(world strongest Man) body.
BB ran away when he saw Shanks not Mihawk.
If Mihawk > Shanks he would have one shot WB/BB at MF. Why would Marines summon other Shichibukai???

I am pretty certain the whole going after Whitebeard's head thing with Kaido is different from how we've been imagining it. It's more than likely at this point in manga that it was one of suicide attempts of Kaido in which case he went alone to attack Whitebeard and his fleet. So it was Kaido VS Shanks along with his crew. How Shanks managed to stop Kaido is a mystery at this point in manga but they likely didn't fight.

If Mihawk > Shanks he would have one shot WB. Why would Marines summon other Shichibukai???
ok let me destroy you in two seconds:

1. how do you know who was on the ship of kaidou? how do you know that mihawk couldnt stop kaidou if he wanted to? you act like you spoke to oda
2.how do you know that mihawk would not be able to stop akainu punch? did you talk to oda again?
3. i have never said that Mihawk>Shanks, learn to read.
4. "If Mihawk > Shanks he would have one shot WB" ????? explain that to me? who can one shot WB? are you stupid

1) so u think Kaido was going alone to fight Admirals/ Yonko/ Yonko FM/Vice- Admirals/ Shichibukai ??? That logic XD
2)how do u knw Mihawk can stop Akainu's punch? Show me scans???
3)u were the one who wrote this:
To all those noobs saying shanks> mihawk because shanks is a yonkou and mihawk a shichibukai
When Manga clearly stated Yonkos(Most Powerful/notorious Pirate captains) > Any pirates(Shichibukai comes under pirate category).

4)I already told u if Mihawk > Shanks why didn't he fought with WB. Mihawk is Yonko lvl material. He is in his prime. He could have killed WB but it was Akainu/BB who did the job. Mihawk was busy fighting fodders.

1) maybe he wanted to cross whitebeard before he arrived at marineford???
2) i dont know if mihawk would be able to stop his punch??? did i say he could? but u say it like because shanks was able to do it makes him stronger lmao.
3) this is what i wrote u idiot : "Now switch positions: If mihawk had shanks crew he would easily be a yonkou aswell, i am not saying mihawk>shanks because i dont know but that yonkou argument doesnt count. "
4) because its plot, why would mihawk be the one to kill whitebeard? that would make mihawk an enemy to strawhats etc.
akainu and blackbeard are meant to be the "Evil" characters in one piece thats why they were the ones to kill whitebeard and ace. by your logic: why didnt garp kill wb? why didnt aokiji and kizaru kill wb? so dumb.

and about this part:: "
When Manga clearly stated Yonkos(Most Powerful/notorious Pirate captains) > Any pirates(Shichibukai comes under pirate category)."

cant you read? let me ask you one thing: do you think shanks would be a yonkou if he would be a one man army like mihawk? if shanks had no crew? tell me. if mihawk had strong crew he would also be a yonkou i think

Bro WB brought 15commander as well as 1giant. If kaido was alone he would be dead. He definately brought all his calamities/beasts.

2) i dont know if mihawk would be able to stop his punch??? did i say he could? but u say it like because shanks was able to do it makes him stronger lmao.
"Shanks stopping Akainu's Lava Punch" shows he is haki beast. His armament haki was stronger then WB at Marineford.

3) this is what i wrote u idiot : "Now switch positions: If mihawk had shanks crew he would easily be a yonkou aswell, i am not saying mihawk>shanks because i dont know but that yonkou argument doesnt count. "
Nope.
If Shiki had Roger's crew & Roger had Shiki's fleet. U think Shiki would have won Edd war???
And it's Mihawk's personal wish to roam seas alone.

4) because its plot, why would mihawk be the one to kill whitebeard? that would make mihawk an enemy to strawhats etc.
He is still Luffy's enemy. Zoro will beat him in future & get WSS title.

akainu and blackbeard are meant to be the "Evil" characters in one piece thats why they were the ones to kill whitebeard and ace.
Akainu is like Kira(Death Note). He wants to kill all the criminals in OPverse.
And BB wanted that fruit. (Nothing much to say about this)

by your logic: why didnt garp kill wb?
Garp wanted Ace to survive that execution. That's why he let Luffy beat him.

why didnt aokiji and kizaru kill wb? so dumb.
Akainu>Aokiji(already shown at PH) and Kizaru is the weakest in this Trio.
Akainu couldnot kill WB. What makes u think Aokiji can?

and about this part:: "
When Manga clearly stated Yonkos(Most Powerful/notorious Pirate captains) > Any pirates(Shichibukai comes under pirate category)."
I remember Garp said this.cant giv u scan now but U can check it in wiki also


let me ask you one thing: do you think shanks would be a yonkou if he would be a one man army like mihawk? if shanks had no crew? tell me. if mihawk had strong crew he would also be a yonkou i think
Bro everybody(Luffy, Buggy, Shanks etc) created there crew because they want to become PK.
It's Mihawk personal wish to roam alone. And now he got Ghost girl in his crew.
