The idea of Mihawk being the only character in fiction who just spawned into existence without anyone giving birth to him 🥹

[Red Roc @RedRenRad]

I seriously can't understand you. Was Shanks the Strongest Swordsman before Mihawk, and Mihawk needed to defeat Shanks to become the strongest? This is Zoro's story, not Mihawk's story. You are mixing things up.

As for the Black Blade, you're talking about it as if it doesn't represent power. Mihawk having a Black Blade is proof of his strength. It’s not just a random feature or trait that doesn't add much to his power; no, it boosts his strength significantly. That is exactly why he is the Strongest Swordsman—because he has the Black Blade that makes him stronger than all other swordsmen. What is so hard to understand about that?

And regarding Marineford, I really can't understand why someone who used to be a Marine Hunter would put any effort into fighting the Marines' enemies. Do you even know why the Warlord system was abolished? It's because they never fought seriously and were just using their positions to slack off and sit around. That’s exactly why it was abolished.

[Red Roc @RedRenRad]

This is the problem with Shanks fans—you just don't understand Mihawk’s character. You treat him like he's just a killing machine. He wasn't fighting with his full power, and that’s completely obvious because he didn't use a single one of his named techniques. So what’s so strange about that? When someone isn't fighting at full strength, of course they aren't going to put in any real effort.

This is the exact same guy who started hunting the Marines the second the Warlord system was abolished. He holds a massive grudge against the Marines, so why on earth would he fight with all his strength to defend them? Honestly, his mere presence in that war and his decision to actually take part in the fighting was a shock even to Doflamingo.

[Red Roc @RedRenRad]

Why did Zoro's technique become stronger? What did Kaido say to him? He told him that he used Conqueror's Haki, and that's exactly why he was able to scar Kaido—because he used Conqueror's Haki. And this happened even before he awakened Enma. The sword only helped him awaken his Conqueror's Haki, but the Haki itself has been inside Zoro since birth, just like everyone else who has it. You just proved that Conqueror's Haki makes sword strikes stronger. Therefore, you need to have the strongest Conqueror's Haki among swordsmen to become the Strongest Swordsman.

[Red Roc @RedRenRad]

Mihawk never defeated Shanks, but did Shanks ever defeat Mihawk? Because I must have missed that chapter and never read it.

You are seriously trying to convince me that between two fighters who used to be equals, one lost his arm while the other became the strongest fighter in that entire category, and yet the guy who lost his arm is the one who became stronger? What kind of twisted logic is that? This is the kind of logic you only find among Shanks fans.

The Marines know exactly how strong Mihawk and Shanks are because one was the Marine Hunter and the other is a Yonko, and one of them later became a Warlord. They know their exact power levels because they’ve fought both against them and alongside them. For the Marines to officially decide that Mihawk is stronger than Shanks—that right there is the ultimate proof.

[Red Roc @RedRenRad]

Are you actually serious? Shanks' Haki traveled from the shores of Wano all the way to the Flower Capital in seconds just to scare Greenbull, and you're telling me Shanks is faster than that? Impossible. The distance between Kid and Shanks was way closer than Greenbull. Shanks simply cannot defeat Kid just by blasting Conqueror's Haki into the air; you have to strike with it and coat it on something to deal real damage. And you haven't shown a single panel in the story that proves otherwise.

[Red Roc @RedRenRad]

I never said you can't blast Conqueror's Haki to knock out some weak characters; I said you can't use it like that in a real fight. The strongest Conqueror's Haki in the story knocked out some weak Vice Admirals, but did it knock out Kizaru, who is just an Admiral? No. Kizaru just got a minor headache.

I'm talking about fights between top-tier characters, not random fodder. And Greenbull wasn't scared that Shanks' Haki would actually injure him; he was scared of Shanks himself and the Yonko crew backing him up. The Haki itself didn't cause him any real damage.

[Red Roc @RedRenRad]

Let me ask you again, where are you getting this from? What is your source for saying that Mihawk was given his title just because he fought Shanks? You’re just making things up and believing they're true.

As for you proving that Zoro can't fight without his swords, I think I missed that "proof"—can you repeat it? Also, regarding the point that Mihawk hasn't defeated any top-tier characters: you don't need to defeat strong characters to become the strongest; you can just train and get stronger on your own. Shanks is the perfect example of this.

[Red Roc @RedRenRad]

Do you even know what Advanced Conqueror's Haki coating is? You must have an object to channel the Haki through in order to hit someone with it. There isn't a single character in the story who just blasts Conqueror's Haki into the air and causes actual damage to anyone at an Admiral's level, at least. You need a fist, a weapon, a sword, or a Devil Fruit to combine with Conqueror's Haki to deal real damage.

The biggest proof of this is Shanks himself. Who is faster, Shanks or his Conqueror's Haki? When Kid was about to destroy Shanks' fleet, why did Shanks physically go over to him to strike him with his sword? Why didn't he just blast his Conqueror's Haki from a distance to defeat him? It's because he can't cause real damage without coating it on a weapon. So, he is just a regular swordsman like anyone else.

[Red Roc @RedRenRad]

And you’ve also never heard Mihawk say he wanted to become the Strongest Swordsman. There isn't a single panel in the story where Mihawk says he wants to achieve that title, so this point makes no sense.

As for Zoro, you’re actually proving my point. Conqueror's Haki is so deeply rooted in swordsmanship that Zoro didn't even realize he was using it. It’s such a natural thing for a swordsman to use that Zoro mastered both regular and Advanced Conqueror's Haki in a single night. For swordsmen, Conqueror's Haki is just a natural part of the craft.

[Red Roc @RedRenRad]

You’re just saying random things that have absolutely no proof in the manga. Shanks is a swordsman because he is talented in swordsmanship and knows how to use a sword, just like any other swordsman. You could say the exact same thing about every other character in the story—Zoro can use Conqueror's Haki without a sword, and Kaido does the same without a weapon. It’s not something exclusive or unique to Shanks.

[Red Roc @RedRenRad]

@Khaled71697 Bro thinks just like a regular Alabasta citizen

[Red Roc @RedRenRad]

@Jihookmox Fujitora will absolutely wipe the floor with Garling if he dares to attack

[Red Roc @RedRenRad]

@SanjiVinsm0k3 @ry00ne You're right, that’s not the only way. But ,It has nothing to do with Shanks, because he doesn't use it that way. There isn't a single panel in the manga that shows Shanks coating anything with Advanced Conqueror's Haki except for his sword

[Red Roc @RedRenRad]

@Am_1GreatLEGACY Sanji fans are more delusional than Zoro fans, which is a very low bar already

@Khaled71697 Roger and Zoro are the only ones from the two pirate king crews to Conqueror's Haki and a sword, Holy parallel 🔥🔥🔥

[Red Roc @RedRenRad]

The whole point of Thriller Bark's ending to show us that Zoro is ready to give up his own dream just to make Luffy's dream come true frist, When he begged Mihawk, his enemy, to train him, he did it only for Luffy's sake. The main focus of Zoro's story prior to the time skip was how he set aside his own ambition in order to ensure that Luffy became the Pirate King first. Mihawk was disappointed by him for precisely that reason.
