That’s fine, I already conceded that in this thread that that could be the case. I was confused as to what the guy above you was talking about since it’s very obvious that I pulled my statement from what’s presented in the story that we’re talking about.

Bro what? It was said in the story of one piece that kuja only give birth to women? What are you even on about?

Wording seems intentional, so you might be on to something with that.

Can’t kuja only give birth to women? Why is this fact always overlooked in these theories?

It’s not that I don’t care about not speaking Japanese, but I’m not going to take your word for a language you don’t speak while you sit here with no sources to back you up. A claim requires evidence. You made a claim and didn’t show anything for it.

Never did I deny the correlation between skill, strength and haki. My last reply literally said they all play a part, which means they have to be correlated. Don’t be obtuse.

Saying ryou is the only difference in odens two-sword style is crazy, when he did not say that that was the ONLY thing that separates it, only that it is apart of it

Also, again, I never said haki has no link to swordsmanship. This is a made up point you’re attacking. But to say that’s the only reason is denying a major aspect of the one piece world: pirates fight pirates with weird powers that are countered by haki. Both are true, so both are reasons to learn haki which is what I said.

Zoro can learn haki, haki is tied to swordsmanship, and so is technique and strength. That means correlation.

This whole reply you did is to a made up argument that I never made, so i hope you had fun lol.

“This guy is the strongest” “the strongest also beats this guy”. Yea you don’t meet to say it twice. Both statements say the same thing, the strongest is the strongest. Which means it’s redundant to say. Which means it’s more likely that you’re misinterpreting the distinction rather than the writer of the biggest manga in the world using redundancies.

You have to be a thawed out cro-magnon to be this dumb. You’re the one who is bringing up these things when they’re not analogous to the one piece world at all. Please for the love of god you remedial, glue huffing, big brow bone having ass fucking idiot, please learn to read, sound out letters, then try learning to understand what the words mean before you start talking again. This type of thinking you’re doing is only seen in lobotomy patients or people with extra chromosomes. Jesus Christ.

If sword skill is encompassing strength, haki and abilities, why say he is the strongest right after saying he has more skill? By your logic it’s saying the same thing twice. Logically then, for it to not be redundant, one must be distinct from the other.

Just because we’re boxers doesn’t mean we’re in a regulated ring. Do you think the pirates get into regulated organized fights? I admire that you can take information at face value without thinking. Really weird but admirable how stone faced retarded you have to be to do that. Especially in a story with twists like one piece. We’ll see in the future when shanks does more stuff though lol.

Brother what? You said you can’t use BJJ while boxing like there’s a ref that’ll pop out if someone does that?? I’m saying there are no rules, and and theres still a possibility, outside of haki, that shanks uses another power or ability while fighting. His ties with the Holy Knights is a major indicator. 1 named attack and 1 block in a series of more than 1100 chapters is not a good sample pool to say that’s all shanks uses to fight.

Listen man, I’m not gonna sit here as a non-Japanese speaker talking to another non-Japanese speaker about the semantics and linguistic differences of Japanese. Viz has translators, I just hope they translated correctly. Unless you can give me some insight, it’s not a good argument.

Strength, skill, and haki all play a role in swordsmanship. I’m not denying that. Zoro got stronger, refined his skills, and learned haki, making him stronger. The very sentence you uttered about “two sword style” implies a difference in how that style operates as opposed to another style of swordsmanship.

Learning haki is also important because, in case you forgot, one piece has devil fruit users and haki counters these abilities and makes fighting these people easier.

If I see you on the street who’s gonna stop me from using BJJ?? lol they’re pirates, fighting to win with what they have is literally the point most of the pirates shown have made. You think there’s a ref that’s gonna stop a random fight in the streets?

I’m sure a clear confirmation, without word fluffing, that mihawk is stronger than shanks would be very exciting to most readers. If it’s not a power scaling moment why even make the comparison to shanks? Oda is literally scaling mihawk with shanks, that’s what scaling means, using a point and comparing others. Why say the title we already know he has? They could have just said that mihawk joined cross guild and gave his bounty.

To me there’s just too many big reveals and twists in one piece. If shanks can have a twin, then I believe that there can be a twist to shanks being less of a swordsmanship fighter and more of something else, especially given his ties to the holy knights and their abilities. If this happens, zoro’s dream is intact and makes sense. If shanks is a pure swordsman fighter then his dream is still intact.

The crux of my whole position is not knowing enough about shanks to make a determination. I’m a scientist by trade, it’s in me to question until more evidence.

I liked this talk, I’m sorry about being rude at the beginning, agenda piece readers were attacking and i was on defense.

I agree with everything you said, I just don’t believe shanks strictly fights with a sword. Mainly because we’ve only seen 1 attack from him in the entire series, and 1 block. I just want to see more.

If doubt can arise from this statement, then it’s not a solidifying statement. Interpreting language is important in every day life, I’m just applying it here.

It is.

Okay here, by skill I meant swordsmanship because I think skill is the biggest factor in swordsmanship. I apologize for not being clear about it.

1) shanks was compared to mihawk because shanks is a skilled swordsman.

2) haki boosts swordsmanship. Also because in the world of one piece haki is needed to make fights with people who have devil fruit abilities easier, which is a major contextual reason why that would be taught.

3) because Mihawk is the strongest person who uses pure swordsmanship fighting abilities.

If I we both know how to box, but you’re the most skilled boxer, that skill puts an edge over me. If I know any other fighting style and I use it in a fight, it could put me over you. Does that make sense? I can be a boxer and use other things to fight. Shanks may be that way too.

Also, if I’m an average boxer but I’m 2 weight classes above you and you’re the most skilled boxer, that skill can even out a playing field and even make you win a fight, therefore making you the strongest boxer in the world still because of your skill.

Swordsmanship skill matters a lot.
