[Discussion] What will be Zoro's strength by the EoS

[chopstickchakra]

I can agree that we can't be certain about swordsmanship being his primary fighting style until when we get to learn more about Shanks. But it's rather obvious and logical to presume that his art of expertise lies within his swordsmanship, given the portrayal he received so far in the series. Strictly talking from what we know of him, Shanks can't be anything other than a swordsman. And it's completely irrelevant whether he has other other modes of fighting; He'd be beneath Mihawk as long as his most preferable fighting mode is swordsmanship.





What more, they're under the impression that suddenly changing the choice of weapon in the middle of a fight (Sword to Gun for example)can actually turn the table around. Like someone who can counter a mounting range slash of Mach 20 couldn't stop a projectile of Mach 2 speed.:yeah:

If slashes don't apply to the laws of physics then why would you automatically assume bullets would? Come on now, that's one of those times trying to be snide hurts your case. Anyway I just don't agree with the fact that because Shanks would lose a sword fight against Mihawk that automatically means his hands and haki couldn't beat Mihawk's swordsmanship just because of the title WSS. Swordsmanship means just that, swords, it doesn't automatically transfer to mean you can beat any fighting style used by someone who also uses a sword it means you can defeat any opponent who is using a sword, once they stop using that sword that WSS title stops covering and granting you the assumed auto win.

Because Mihawk has never shown CoQ Haki and I'm of the mind that it will be able to be used in a physical matter to some degree. Mihawk's personality also seems to have him more honor bound than Shanks in the sense I could see Shanks abandoning his primary weapon if it meant he could get an edge whereas I couldn't see Mihawk dropping his sword for anything similar to how I couldn't see Zoro using anything other than a sword(or some form of stick in a sword manner) Mihawk seems more stuck in his ways whereas Shanks seems flexible which leads me to believe he doesn't solely rely on his sword.

You talk about "Shanks SEEMS NOT". I guess we're done here. I cannot argue with a "SEEMS" it's your feeling

Also Mihawk running off the Humandrills isn't the same. He had fought them previously so when he ran them off it wasn't CoQ haki but him asserting his dominance over them from the fight before more than likely. I suppose we can't say one way or the other as fact but there wasn't any CoQ animation in the anime iirc.

Exactly, there was no animation of it back then. So you have no proof that Mihawk was just asserting dominance over CoHaki in the same manner Shanks did over the sea king

Of course it's a feeling we don't have enough information as of now to say anything is definitive that's the main point I've been trying to make. As to your second point, When Shanks did it it was the start of the manga of course there wouldn't be a CoQ animation but in Mihawks case CoQ had already been shown and demonstrated so the fact it was missing for him is more relevant than it missing from Shanks scene.

Well Doffy did the same to the G5 :sdo: no animations were shown :sdo: there was only a force like Shanks during his Moby D*ck visit :sdo:

IMO Shanks might be, MIGHT BE, equal with Mihawk... but not below him or weaker than him.

Mihawk's title means absolutely nothing when discussing an all out fight with Shanks.

However, if Shanks and Mihawk were to agree on ONLY using swords, then Mihawk is practically guaranteed victory.

G4? I haven't watched the anime lately so I can't say one way or another, was the noise played? Wasn't that still before the first time they used the blue wave and sound effect though?

The blue sound was shown during Marineford. Mingo used it in Punk Hazard. There was no blue wave, there was only sound like Shanks during Moby D*ck

Ok so as long as the sound is included that's still part of the signal. Was the sound in the Mihawk scene? Also if it was CoQ for Mihawk why didn't a single monkey pass out and foam around the mouth?

Zoro will be either Admiral lvl or Yonko lvl when he surpass Mihawk

 

[LoZelda101]

What makes you think he will even be alive. :lol

I bet akainu will kill atleast one strawhat before EoS
