Didn't jouzo block his strongest slash? More importantly, you do know that by "the world strongest swordman" they mean his swordsmanship not the actual power. Cause that statement would contradict with the fact that Yonko are the strongest pirates in the world. We don;t even know if shankes solely depends on his sword...
But WB uses that sword like weapon and mihawk is the strongest swordsman so does that mean that he is better than WB in this skills which shows that mihawk can give hard tym to WB.
A swordsman doesn't have to solely rely on their sword, just use their sword consistently and regularly. Every time we've seen Shanks in any conflict, he's reached for his sword.
1. Never said he could tank many Yonkos, tf did you get that from?
Additional factors such DFs and other special abilities. For example diamante is swordman yet he uses his hira hira no mi to flatten things and he even uses guns. Swordsmanship is just a style, one could have more than one style and still keep his original one.
Yeah, even thought I think mihawk would win, it means that he's could fight on par with people like vista and jozu, but those cannot fight equally with a yonko level opponent. That is my point.
Being a man doesn't have levels or rather a man can never be better man than other , and if he is, then the statement is merely subjective. However you could prove being a better swordman by being the strongest at that field.
Thanks for proving my point further. If Diamente can be in the swordsman category despite using a DF, firearms and terrain, then Shanks can as well if he uses other things than just his sword.
One attack is a horrible basis to go by. Sengoku punched Luffy once and it didn't do significant damage. Does that boost Luffy to Sengoku's level, or does it reduce Sengoku to Luffy's?
If World's Strongest Swordsman means Mihawk completes the standards for being considered a swordsman better than anyone else, then being World's Strongest Man means Whitebeard completes the standards to being a man better than anyone else. It has nothing to do with levels, its as simple as that.
Isn't it inconsistent to say Mihawk is the strongest of all the swordsmen, but then say that there is a swordsman stronger than him?
Go for it.
Well, that's what I'm saying if you know that both statements are inconsistent, why not wait for some feats from shankes and then judge, rather than just assuming that mihawk > a yonko merely because of the fact that both of them are swordsmen?
Not everyone consider shichibukais as pirates since they work for the world government. Because of this, the yonko title doesn't apply to them. It's just like the revolutionaries who are in reality pirates but fighting against the government(unlike other pirates), but the yonko title doesn't apply to Dragon
1. Putting mihawk above shanks,BM,BB implies that he can tank many younkous
:lol don't even go there bro, it clearly states that they are still piraates here
The revolutionaries are not pirates. They are rebels. They have a different aim than that of pirates. they seek to establish a new government. It was said that pirates do not generally pick a fight with the WG and that only the revs do that. And yes they are pirates, every single one of them is viewed as a pirate by the marines. The English term might be privateer who is a pirate who is allowed to take on pirating activities from the government that they work for. Historically they were still considered pirates and many viewed them the same way as they did pirates. In one piece this is the same. When they were first introduced it was even said that the shichibukai were a collection of 7 pirates.
I didn't say they weren't. I said they aren't always considered as such. It's for that reasons the marines sometimes think they are ally to them since they both work for the government.
I fully understand and accept that Shanks can be revealed later to be stronger. But for now, the portrayal leans towards Mihawk or is inconclusive at best, so we go by how we choose to interpret.
1. You have no idea what the word tanks mean. If Mihawk wins any of those match-ups, it'd be extreme diff and he'd be near death.1. Putting mihawk above shanks,BM,BB implies that he can tank many younkous
2. Any sharp object can be use as a sword, mihawk used knife as sword on his first encounter with zoro.
3.
Excatly and therefore they are
Wrong, they are allied with the WG, they don't work for them. Prime example of this is seen when hancock refused to help them at the beginning.
Their bounties are frozen, it doesn't simply disappear.
No you just made that upXD, any pirate, whether it's former or current is still inferior to the yonko(aside form former yonko and roger)
How does that weaken the point that they are pirates and thus are inferior to yonko?
