Chapter 553 "Battle of the Highest" Discussion

@Kairouseki:

You'd think the strongest swordsman in the world using the strongest sword in the world would be able to cut anything. And as juju says all he basically did was flip his wrist .

From what he said B4 I'm pretty sure he did put a lot into that attack. And I don't think it would B completely fair if he could cut anything. Mihawk is the world's best swordsman and if he is ever going 2B beaten in a sword fight by Zoro, Zoro will need room 2beat him and do something no other swordsman could. And it was kinda hinted by Mr.1 that Zoro would end up cutting diamond in the future.

@HaxeyeMihawk:

Fact boxes or narrations are square, whereas boxes that indicate yelling are spiky.

Yes but fact boxes R only used 2introduce characters and other stuff like that. But the spiky ones R used 4yelling and stating facts. Usually when thiers no clear recipient of the box its just a quick fact by Oda.

Holy sh*t U guys gotta slow down my fingers R starting 2hurt and my wrist is cramping up.

Swordsmanship is more than just cutting stuff, and Zoro is still ways a way from dueling Mihawk so I'm sure he'll be able to cut everything Mihawk can once it's time for him to duel Mihawk. Maybe Zoro has greater physical strength than Mihawk, after all we see Zoro lift huge things a lot, maybe Mihawk is more of the graceful, skillful swordsman.

EDIT: Then again Mihawk swings that huge ass sword around like nothing.

Sakonosolo

Triple post :getlost: . That and I can hardly understand what the hell you're saying.

Zoro will eventually beat Mihawk but Mihawk can probably cut anything. All that means is that Mihawk and Zoro will be equal when they eventually square off so it'll be exciting instead of just one attack from Zoro.

@HaxeyeMihawk:

I doubt Mihawk would make a potshot at WB his strongest slash, I also doubt his strongest slash is one in which his sword doesn't make contact.

I don't think Mihawk would attack WB with anything less than his best. But as U said his strongest slash should B one in which it connects. I figured that he used his strongest slash and the shockwave leaving from it was what he sent 2attack WB. If U've seen 1of my earlier comments U would C that I 2believe that his Strongest Slash would B much more effective at close range

Very true and mayB that was Oda's plan. Just B-cuz it was his strongest slash doesn't mean it was his best.

HaxeyeMihawk

Yeah pretty much Kairouseki, I don't know why people think Oda would start showing Mihawk's limitations after hyping him up for over 10+ years, especially since it'll probably be awhile before Zoro faces him, if anything I don't expect any flaws to be exposed in Mihawk's swordsmanship till Zoro and Mihawk duel, and it'll be Zoro likely noticing/exposing the flaws.

U really wonder Y I hav triple post when U guys keep commenting 2me so much. Mihawk shouldn't B able 2cut through anything. It would B unfair 2the series as he would B nearly unstoppable with that kind of power. And when he and Zoro face off Zoro will need an attack that he can use 2win the battle.

Yeah cuz I'm sure Mihawk would swing and cut through everything like a maniac, I've heard this dumb "He shouldn't be able to cut through everything " argument before, in a fight between two swordsman all that matters is that you can cut through flesh and as we can see from Zoro's chest Mihawk is capable of doing so. Unless of course the people that argue this think Mihawk and Zoro's duel will be a test your might game of horse in which Mihawk cuts something then Zoro has to top him, if that's the case then Zoro may have a problem.

Jadosra

Its simple

You see if there's any message below the one you wrote.
If there isn't, and you want to post something new, instead of going to the window below, you click "Edit" and you add a new thing…

For example, imagine that I now said something, I want to say another thing, but below there's no messages.

I click Edit, click enter and say a new thing

LOL!!! I don't think that their fight will come down 2that. If so I wonder if we can get Brook in on this contest. Just 4fun.

Zoro attack don't even cause tidal wave like Mihawk. Mihawk sinks multiple battle ships when he slashes his sword. Zoro cuts people with his 100 pound attack.

Sakonosolo

Also, just to save some time I'll teach you how to multiquote. Say you want to quote 3 people. You toggle to multi button on 2 of the posts and then click the quote button on the third. This'll pull up the post window that will have all 3 posts quoted.

What's your point?

syler

from what i remember the 100 pound canncon is the move where he does with luffy,and open up the big wave in the cp 9 arc…
i dont remember him using it by him self.

Jadosra

Haxeye, I have a point for you.
According to you, it doesn't matter if Mihawk can cut diamond or not.
However, it matters.
The swords of Zoro are less powerful than Diamon, so if Mihawk can cut Diamond, Zoro will need better swords.

That's not a point, we saw Luffy block Zoro's sword with his sandal in Whiskey Peak so are we to assume that Zoro couldn't cut those back then? No because in shonen 1 minute someone can be cutting steel or diamond, the next minute cross swords with someone yet not break their blades, or cut someone and the thing behind them but the person they cut aren't halved. So just because Mihawk can cut diamond doesn't mean he'd break Zoro's swords like before unless Oda decides to have it happen that way, plus as in Rurouni Kenshin skill decides who's sword would break who's and again Zoro will likely be equal or better than Mihawk when next they fight.

Honestly I don't know why people are setting themselves up for disappointment with the obvious outcome of who'd win in a Mihawk vs Jozu fight, hint: the guy with the sword and a cemented role in the future of OP (Zoro fight) not the guy with 3 seconds of hype.

Knowing

Two Admirals are shown up and Mihawk is the guy who gets all the shit from the fans. Why?

Captain Psychedelic

Ya know, I'm not sure.

Zkaiser

One Piece fans are kind of backwards.

Sakonosolo

I tried to criticize the Admirals in the Akainu thread but was attacked from all sides.

HaxeyeMihawk

@Knowing:

Two Admirals are shown up and Mihawk is the guy who gets all the shit from the fans. Why?

Because apparently over the years the Mihawk fanboys pissed off the biased Mihawk haters with their bragging so now the Mihawk haters look for any crumb of evidence (no matter how dumb, obscure or insignificant) to knock him down a peg even though it was the author of the damn comic that hyped him to begin with i.e best swordsman, dueled equal to Shanks, etc. So now if Mihawk were to fart in the manga out will come the haters and if you defend him and have a Mihawk avi, name or both, even if what you're saying is common sense it'll devolve into a bunch of tl;dr posts climaxing in you being called a fanboy…takes breath /end rant.
PS: nvm how people twist the evidence to suit their own argument such as saying that Shanks has gotten stronger in the last 10 yrs even though the losing of the arm and Mihawk refusing to duel him says otherwise.

K, now end rant.

No OP this week really? :cwy:

Losing his arm didnt affect his strength, so Mihawk's refusal to duel him has more to do with his ego than strength levels.

HaxeyeMihawk

@wolfwood:

I wasn't trying to imply he got weaker just that it's baseless to say he got stronger till we get information that says so.

Darkestsith6

I didn't even their existed such a following for Mihawk considering how little we've seen of him.

Sakonosolo

But he looks cool and menacing. That's what counts.

Are you dumb?
You're saying that in 10 years Shanks didn't evolve in strenght?
Are you saying he just hid himself for 10 years?
Well, same thing can be said about Mihawk, then.
Since he fought Zoro, Mihawk hasn't changed anything.
Zoro must be close to defeat him

By that logic, Whitebeard should already be stronger than Roger. Which he isn't.

Refii

That Nigga Dead, Course He's Stronger Than Roger

Jadosra

How do you know?
Gol D Roger might have been much stronger than him, and the only reason why Whitebeard could stand was due to his powers, so, he might have be a lot stronger, but he's still not compared with Gol D Roger.
Unless Gol D Roger has the power to change dimensions, not even he can survive the world being destroyed

Roger was black? :J

Why does Mihawk even need to get stronger from when he first fought Zoro?? He was ripping battle ships in half with one slash. Also some people have peaks. Mihawk said he will be in shape when Zoro fights him agaon, but Zoro peak might be higher. Just like Micheal Jordan peak is way better then other star guards.

Jadosra

Well, Shanks also doesnt need to get stronger to kick Mihawk's ass, but its still annoying that people find him unable to evolve any more.

Him not being the Pirate King yet after more than twenty years should tell you that he's still the same old Whitebeard. Not every character progresses like Luffy, becoming the strongest in the world in a year. It is assumed that Shanks, being almost forty years old, and Whitebeard, being long past his prime, have already reached their peaks and are static in the power hierarchy. If every character progressed like the Straw Hats infinitely there would be Dragon Ball-like power levels, way beyond what we've seen of the One Piece top tiers. Also I don't know what the fuck you're trying to get at with points 2) and 3).

Jadosra

How the hell do you know that it has anything to do with power getting to Raftel?

Sanigo

@Jadosra:

That's not exactly what I'm getting at. There's no way of knowing that. What I'm trying to tell you is that there is no indication of Whitebeard making any progress in the past twenty years. He's a static character as are the rest of the top tiers. Basically what I said in my last post, so answer to that one.

Jadosra

…
Whitebeard is the strongest, so evolution won't obviously be as easy to see as Luffy, because he doesn't have much difficulties to train it on and to show his progress.

Sanigo

Is it a hobby of yours to only answer to the first half of a post? Alright…

Dragon Ball Like Power Levels have nothing to do with that, bro.

-Everyone is ranked from 1 to 40
-If A defeats C and B defeats A, B is better than A.
