Why does everyone keep saying this? So if 10 strong Swordsmen attack the SHs, Zoro will fight them all while the others take tea?why would luffy need to fight against a swordsman when he has a swordsman in his crew ?
Your answer is WB Garp and Roger once again. Roger may have used a sword but I'm not ready to classify him a swordsman, Rayleigh was using a sword at the highest level. Swordsman have no significant advantage against fist fighters in the One Piece verse.What about Shanks and fujitora? But essentially my question was fist vs sword at the highest level of both?
I see your point, but really I believe it's for plot convenience, no 1 guy uses DF or fist, no 2 guy uses swords (so he can face off with zoro), no 3 uses DF or fist (Sanji's opponent).Your answer is WB Garp and Roger once again. Roger may have used a sword but I'm not ready to classify him a swordsman, Rayleigh was using a sword at the highest level.
