Spoilers for Attack on Titan stuff lols
Two different series but it's the way i see it working.
Edit it for people and put spoiler tags as plenty of users probably didnt seen yet attack on titan and you are spoiling it.
As for Pica point and comparing situations you might be right.
You spout random crap about devils, demons, breath of things, making flowers bloom 'n shit? You're a swordsman!
You spout random crap about devils, demons, breath of things, making flowers bloom 'n shit BUT you ate a Devil Fruit? Sorry, not a swordsman. From now on you're known as the user of the XY no Mi!
You don't spout random crap about devils, demons, breath of things, making flowers bloom 'n shit. Obviously not a swordsman. You're known as some dude who just happens to hold a sword for whatever reason, probably to apply your super duper haki, poison, whatever.
I knew it. Kin'emon isn't a swordsman anymore.
To me, it seems there are two types of swordsmen .. even if the manga doesn't say it.
The average, orindary swordsman that knows how to use a sword, and great swordsmen that elevate swordsmanship to a fine art form.
As far as 'loose definitions' goes….same thing happens with snipers ... at least with fans calling anyone who uses a gun a sniper.
So far I remember only two people that Oda introduced as "sniper", meaning he mentions it somewhere, such as having Usopp saying "I'm a sniper" or Van Auger's infobox stating it.
In the real world, there is a huge difference between the average marksman, sharpshooter and a sniper and its not just about shooting over vast distances.
I can understand the sniper in OP not being the same as a military sniper is in the real world; knowing more than how to shoot, they need to be able to infiltrate, perform recon and know fieldwork ... and be stealthy
It seems in OP that a sniper is same as sharpshooter - someone able to fancy or tricky shots and less about the military sniper of the real world.
But some fans think if the character uses a gun mostly then he's a sharpshooter/sniper, when they should be called gunman ect.
I love Izo but he's never been shown to shoot over great distances and uses handguns so he focuses on short distance shootings, he is a gunman, not a sniper.

Well, there goes my Arlong/Kuro duel!

Yasopp did use handguns.

Isn't real life sniping like 70% math and 30% shooting the damn thing.
Like Professor Riflebutt laying about in the dust trying to calculate where this bullet is going to end up.
The definition of a swordsman seems to be pretty loose in the opverse.
I mean as i recall Daz bones was considered one, and he was kind of a freakshow.
But atleast those kind of swordsmen aren't as susceptible to swordsman wank.
I remember daz Bones telling Zoro hewas a assassin rather than swordsman.
I always figured he was bound to get a raise anyway after punching that turd in Auction House. But since his and his crew's fates were unknown after Kuma sent them off, they didn't raise his bounty until after Marineford.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
I don't know on what grounds people claim Luffy used CoC with his Elephant. Is there something I'm missing?
It stands to reason CoC can be used for more than just "overwhelming presence", seeing how Shanks' Haki was damaging Moby Dick with only a slight effort.
You know, since we didn't really see Luffy fighting an enemy who is a real threat to him, I wonder if he actually developed a way to use CoC against strong opponents. Hody was nothing, CC would really have no chance if Luffy went all out from the start. I want to see a fight in which any wrong move could cost him victory, like with Lucci.
dude, I don't know if luffy already figured a way to use haoshoku against strong people, but what I was saying is that it's really narrow minded to think hashoku wont be of great importance.
and what do you mean in the bolded statement? do you mean the thor attack? cause if so, im waiting for explanations about that, not too sure what happened there.
The Hody dodging Luffy aboard Noah and him almost passing out was worse. But Grizzly Magnum was utter bullshit as well.
Lol yeah, I kinda skipped Fishman Island from the moment Luffy pawned Hyozou and those 2 others till the moment Pekoms and Tamago were introduced. 
For me TOEI cant do anything worse than this - Cesar being able to stop Grizzly Magnum was slightly less eyes melting in a bad way than this
!
That reminds me, I hate that new sfx for fast movement, Soru etc. It also replaced Kuma's cool teleportation sound on Shabondy.

and what do you mean in the bolded statement? do you mean the thor attack? cause if so, im waiting for explanations about that, not too sure what happened there.
I was quoting in agreement. And yeah, I mean about Thor. I know plenty of people took that "Conquerors clashing" comment way too literate. I'm thinking if Luffy does incorporate CoC with his attacks it won't be as ambiguous. We will know.
Why? I don't know may be because you're trying to predict how long its gonna take Luffy to fight an Admiral toe to toe.
Exactly, PREDICT. It's not some concrete proof. It's MY prediction. You seem to have a huge problem with this, making a mountain out of a molehill.
And like I said I'm no talking about Emperors because you weren't talking about Emperors when you estimated the amount of arcs that Luffy will need in order to fight an ADMIRAL, that's no even a Yonkou.
Dude, YOU ARE THE ONE WHO ASKED ME ABOUT EMPERORS. I said nothing of Yonkous initially, all I said was that it was going to take a few arcs until Luffy can fight an Admiral evenly. You brought up and asked me how long it was going to take for him to defeat a Yonkou, and I answered GIVING MY OPINION. If you can't follow what you even asked then stop right now.
This is the same guy that would have died the three previous times he met an Admiral. Aokiji could've finished him when they first met before the start of Water 7. Kizaru would've put Luffy to death for punching a CD back in S.A., and Akainu would've impaled him with magma during the war; any one of three could've killed him then. And guess what, he is still outclassed by them. You can argue that he isn't all you want, but until I see Luffy truly have a LEGIT one on one with an Admiral, I will hold my belief that he is below them in terms of power.
Actually I would love If One Piece still have 50 more years to go, but can Oda live for 20 more years? Only future can tell.
10 years is plausible given the track record of the series, 50 is not.
Actually I didn't miss your point, you clearly stated that it will take around two to three arc in order for Luffy to fight an Admiral in equal terms,
Yes, IN MY OPINION. Even so, I'm confident that is realistic.
which by the way according to what we have seen Yonkous are stronger than Admirals and Luffy is actually aiming for them,
Until I see Luffy brawl with an Admiral on equal terms, he is not a physical threat to unseat a Yonkou.
so If I apply your logic it will take around I don't know six arc for Luffy to fight a Yonkou on equal terms?
Neither do I. Why do you want a set number of arcs or amount of time so bad? I already gave you my opinion on this matter already.
You think Luffy will be able to defeat Kaido or Big Mom in, what, the next arc? When he hasn't even shown he can spar evenly with an Admiral? You can believe that if you want, I guess. I don't. Would Luffy defeat Shanks right now? If not how about the next arc? Would he be able to take him on and defeat him? If not, then surely the next arc, right? So that's three arcs right there.
And if it does take six arcs, so what?
If I wanna know how long its going to take somebody to achieve something I should definitely borrow you scouter, it seems so fucking helpful.
DUDE, YOU ARE THE ONE WHO WANTS A PREDICTION SO BAD! A prediction is a unique to the individual, why don't you understand this?
Tell me more about how you know that he's no able to put up a fight against an admiral right now. Handle an admiral = no get defeated in a three seconds flat
Like I said above, until I see Luffy fight an Admiral on fair grounds, I will believe he can't be put on their level. I didn't say Luffy wouldn't be able to put up a fight either, he is no pushover, but to suggest he can fight them equally or be put above them at this point in the story is ludicrous in my opinion. But you can believe that if you so chose.
LOL and that's you definition of "Handling an Admiral"? That's not "handling" AT ALL lmao
You're assuming Luffy's basis are Usopp basis, we know that Luffy's basis is way above the basis of a Haki user and Luffy has been using Armament Haki every single time after the time skip
So you're just going to ignore what Luffy himself said about his level of Haki? His Haki is not on par with an Admiral yet. An Admiral wouldn't even let Hody get that close to them for him to bite them.
also didn't Zoro do what you just said that an Admiral would do against Hody?
Yeah, and Hody got right back up with a little help. Let's see Hody get up from a Haki imbued Magma fist from Akainu then we'll talk. Or if Hody gets up from going up against any other Admiral. Fugitora would probably, without lifting a finger, just keep Hodi suppressed to the ground coughing up blood, while he himself is eating ramen.
Battle experience didn't help Luffy's opponents in the past, why does that matter now?
Congrats, you have little to no knowledge of how to build up a character in a story, or more specifically in a shonen manga. Story development also escapes you too apparently.
It is a realistic approach but this is the New World and Rayleigh knows full well how reckless the Strawhats are and how dangerous the New World is, so I don't think it will go that smoothly. (Agree)
I don't get what you are trying to point out here, you just agreed with my main point indirectly. The New World is not easy peasy, and the Strawhats are not ready to take on a Yonkou and their crew yet, the top three are not even ready to fight evenly with Admirals either. But like I said you think they are, and that's fine, and again, I think otherwise.
So what are you saying? They're messing things up in order to get kill by one of them because as of now they cannot stand a chance against a Yonkou (Which I agree on YONKOU), but lets be real for all we know Sanji is being placed inside a body back right now.
I'm saying between now and when they face a Yonkou and their crew, they have to develop a lot more to pose a physical threat to them, enough so that they could install themselves as a Yonkou crew. I don't think you understand, once Luffy becomes a Yonkou he will be virtually untouchable by the Marines, because Zoro and Sanji will be able to fight Admirals evenly and maybe even beat them. THAT is what it means to be a Yonkou, that is what they are striving for right now, and to get there will take some more time.
And Sanji is badass, I think he probably just kicked back some cannonballs towards Big Mom's ship until the Sunny flew out of its range.
This completely fly over your head (I hate using this), is there a reason to think about that when they are probably going to be deep in the New World and we will know their limits by that time?
I don't get what you're saying, on one hand you want the New World to be this place so devastating making the Strawhats run for cover, and then on the other hand you think they can take on Admirals evenly, you even say you're assuming they can take on Yonkous because you say "we're seeing how those guys are messing things up for the big guns, so they better be strong enough to stand against them."
And if you hated using it, then don't use it. How is that my fault for responding back?
Why does Zoro have to deal with it? You people keep this abstract image of Fujitora summoning meteors down to earth like that's all his Devil Fruit can do or that his better at throwing things than actually clashing like a real swordsman would do.
My bad I meant to say Fugitora would have to deal with the debris hitting citizens. Suppressing Zoro into the ground was the safest action he could have taken given they were in a crowded area full of innocent people.
And that's all we've seen Fugitora do so far, so we have to work with what we're given.
Yep Daz isn't a Swordsman, Daz said there were a lot of swordsman who challenged him and he killed them all, but in fact he is not a Swordsman.
He did state he was a swordsman, albeit not a normal one.
He did state he was a swordsman, albeit not a normal one.
He can't be a swordsman. He is nothing but a miner!
He did state he was a swordsman, albeit not a normal one.
I think real swordsman are like Mihawk,Shanks, Vista,Zorro.
They are 100% swordsman
I even consider fujitora a non swordman
Both things aren't mutually exclusive, you know?

shanks not swordman … it's like whitebeard & Rayleigh ... they use the sword sometimes
 ~ The Will Of D. ~
shanks not swordman … it's like whitebeard & Rayleigh ... they use the sword sometimes
How do you know Shanks only uses his sword sometimes?
Both things aren't mutually exclusive, you know?
I thought we were talking about whether or not Daz was considered a swordsman. Since we weren't then it is my mistake.
But I always took the phrase of Daz as a way to say that calling him a swordsman is a reductive way to look at his power.

That's why he said he's not a normal swordsman.

I don't remember Whitebeard using a sword.
I don't remember Whitebeard using a sword.
Ey oh look at mistah professor here. He's too good to call it a sword on a stick is he.
Wtf shanks is pure swordsman, he never uses kick or fist, no df either.
He is 100%Swordman like vista , he uses 1sword style.
Ey oh look at mistah professor here. He's too good to call it a sword on a stick is he.
It is not a spear, then?
Cause it looks like one.
If not, I am sorry…really.

A bisento, Mr. KageKageKing.
I guess Shanks uses his sword just like Vergo uses his bamboo stick. It's probably a super low-grade trashy saber turned godlike due to his godlike haki…!
Which would mean Shanks is not 100% swordsman, but 100% haki.
It's not a sword. It's just a really big knife. Making him a knifeboy
100% haki knifeboy.
I guess Shanks uses his sword just like Vergo uses his bamboo stick. It's probably a super low-grade trashy saber turned godlike due to his godlike haki…!
Which would mean Shanks is not 100% swordsman, but 100% haki.
Very nice observation, Jabra!
Shanksbis a swordman , accept it
They both have pretty silly capes though. Probably alot of trippage going on.
Lots of horseplay betwenn those two, running around, bending their blades and smacking each other on the butts.
Fighting a bit to get over their weirdly romantic feelings, that Shanks is kinda laidback and cool about, but that Mihawk feels weird about.
Yasopp did use handguns.
.
My bad was not remembering Oda having Yasopp telling Luffy about his skills while using the hand gun.

Isn't real life sniping like 70% math and 30% shooting the damn thing. Like Professor Riflebutt laying about in the dust trying to calculate where this bullet is going to end up.
That stand for shooting anything guns, shotguns, rifles hell even bow and arrows
I like to watch sniping shows on the history channel and nope aim (the math you mention) & shoot isn't all there is.
Wiki is helpful here, I like the 2nd paragraph of the entry as it sums it up well.
[hide] Snipers - from Wikipedia
In addition to marksmanship, military snipers are trained in camouflage, field craft, infiltration, special reconnaissance and observation, surveillance and target acquisition.[1] Snipers are especially effective when deployed within the terrain of urban warfare, or jungle warfare
[/hide]
I do need to alter my statement, due to the trick shots also being called sharpshooters, I called them separate from snipers. And marksmen is higher than gunmen.
And due to the "military sniper" I should have just kept my mouth shut and not said anything LOL
It is not a spear, then?
Cause it looks like one.
If not, I am sorry…really.
A bisento, Mr. KageKageKing.
As Adam says, Whitebeard's weapon is a bisento. But you're not too far off Kage.
A bisento is in the polearm class.
A pole weapon deferrers from a spear by its penetrating edge is parallel to the pole, a spear's tip is its penetrating edge. Although some pole arms do incorporate a spear tip into its design.
I guess Shanks uses his sword just like Vergo uses his bamboo stick. It's probably a super low-grade trashy saber turned godlike due to his godlike haki…!
Which would mean Shanks is not 100% swordsman, but 100% haki.
so 100% swordsmen can't use haki ? haki improves the swordsmanship like physical strength does
i remember it was said in a data book that he rivaled mihawk in swordsmanship
meaning he has some incredible sword skills , he is definitely not using the sword as minor weapon like vergo does
I do hope we'll break down all fighters into arbitrary percent.
Here i'll get us started. Roof is 25% puncher, 25% rubbery, and 50% moron.
Nami is 25% penny pincher, 25% navigator, 25% tornado, and 25% lightning.
Oh and 1000% boobs.
I guess Shanks uses his sword just like Vergo uses his bamboo stick. It's probably a super low-grade trashy saber turned godlike due to his godlike haki…!
Which would mean Shanks is not 100% swordsman, but 100% haki.
Wouldn't that still make him a Swordsman as he isn't using fancy power but simply his sword which he strengthen. Or is Mihawk suppose to fight without haki?
IF YOU DIE, I'LL KILL YOU….
I'm sure someone pointed this out before, but here goes! I always thought Robin looked familiar since the first time I saw her, I always thought of her as a grown up ruthless not so funny version of Nadia(Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water) I think she is the model for Robin, Why?
Looks and Revealing clothes
!
Also being the last survivor, parent stuff(enough spoilers! [ps: something else happens, quite similar situation though ;)]), only she and her people are able to read the ancient language and know about the weapon(s), likes cute animals, was born/lived on some island until someone had to come and destroy it on ships or submarine(s) can't remember, traveled through the seas(well, under them [on a sub]), later joined a revolutionaries like organization..etc
!
lol also being friends with a genius who makes all sorts of mechanical machines and robots :ninja: even though she is not too fond with machines in general
Two more days! hopefully one!! or better, Come out TODAY!!!
I asked a simple question and I see myself writing essays now.
Exactly, PREDICT. It's not some concrete proof. It's MY prediction. You seem to have a huge problem with this, making a mountain out of a molehill.
Problem, no I don't have any problem with what you or any other member in here predicts, it just seems absurd to me that Luffy needs to go through two to three more arcs in order to fight an Admiral, a character that is weaker than a Yonkou by a good margin, so I asked myself how long till his able to fight a Yonkou then.
Dude, YOU ARE THE ONE WHO ASKED ME ABOUT EMPERORS. I said nothing of Yonkous initially, all I said was that it was going to take a few arcs until Luffy can fight an Admiral evenly. You brought up and asked me how long it was going to take for him to defeat a Yonkou, and I answered GIVING MY OPINION. If you can't follow what you even asked then stop right now.

And guess what, he is still outclassed by them. You can argue that he isn't all you want, but until I see Luffy truly have a LEGIT one on one with an Admiral, I will hold my belief that he is below them in terms of power.
Hey I'm just applying your logic, since it will take around two to three arcs for Luffy to fight an Admiral, a character weaker than an Emperor then I asked myself how long till Luffy can match a Yonkou, is really simple.
And now you're spitting crap. Each one of those encounters showed Luffy that he wasn't ready for the big guns yet. He fought Aokiji, he realized he needed to get more powerful since stronger dudes will keep showing up, he came up with G2 and G3, He went through Kizaru and Akainu in less than 2 weeks, he end up taking a two years break because he realized that he and his crew weren't ready to take in the New World and according to you he's still being outclassed by them, but hey is your opinion so like a politician I respect it.
10 years is plausible given the track record of the series, 50 is not.
Why not? One piece is very profitable and I think we all know that If a bag of crap can make a person/company reach they will try to prolong it as much as possible
Neither do I. Why do you want a set number of arcs or amount of time so bad? I already gave you my opinion on this matter already.
You think Luffy will be able to defeat Kaido or Big Mom in, what, the next arc? When he hasn't even shown he can spar evenly with an Admiral? You can believe that if you want, I guess. I don't. Would Luffy defeat Shanks right now? If not how about the next arc? Would he be able to take him on and defeat him? If not, then surely the next arc, right? So that's three arcs right there.
And if it does take six arcs, so what?
Go back and check my posts, I never said Luffy needs X period of time If he wants to defeat x character. I asked you the question because of your opinion on the time period which seems absurd to me, but I already said that.
DUDE, YOU ARE THE ONE WHO WANTS A PREDICTION SO BAD! A prediction is a unique to the individual, why don't you understand this?
This is the Internet and I don't posses one of those scouters that's why I cannot make such a unique and awesome prediction and can't understand yours either.
LOL and that's you definition of "Handling an Admiral"? That's not "handling" AT ALL lmao
So what's handling to you? To me is no getting your ass kick in a three seconds flat, which means putting up a fight but to you this might mean something else, so I apologize.
So you're just going to ignore what Luffy himself said about his level of Haki? His Haki is not on par with an Admiral yet. An Admiral wouldn't even let Hody get that close to them for him to bite them.
I'm not ignoring shit, I'm just seen things how they are, Luffy said this two arcs ago, he have fought 4 times after Fishman Island and in each one of those times Armament Haki - Hardening have been used, so to my knowledge and to how Oda develops his characters Luffy's Armament Haki should be stronger than what it was in Fishman Island but according to you this phrase that Luffy said back in 2011 still holds his ground in your brain.
Yeah, and Hody got right back up with a little help. Let's see Hody get up from a Haki imbued Magma fist from Akainu then we'll talk. Or if Hody gets up from going up against any other Admiral. Fugitora would probably, without lifting a finger, just keep Hodi suppressed to the ground coughing up blood, while he himself is eating ramen.
Little help = Drugs that completely gets you riled up and doesn't make you feel any pain. Bonny will just turn Hody into a child. Law will cut him in half. Moria will make him vanish. I'm definitely learning your logic.
Congrats, you have little to no knowledge of how to build up a character in a story, or more specifically in a shonen manga. Story development also escapes you too apparently.
My question is, did the battle experience help Luffy's opponents yes or no, is pretty simple, you don't have to try to sound smart and bring an award to the table but Oh well.
I don't get what you are trying to point out here, you just agreed with my main point indirectly. The New World is not easy peasy, and the Strawhats are not ready to take on a Yonkou and their crew yet, the top three are not even ready to fight evenly with Admirals either. But like I said you think they are, and that's fine, and again, I think otherwise.
I think "they are", I never said Luffy, Zoro and Sanji can take on an Admiral right now and If I did please bring me the post and Didn't that little text have something that looked an awful like like this (Agree)?
Luffy is the only one I'm discussing here and Oda already made a point about Zoro and also made a shinning one about Sanji.
I'm saying between now and when they face a Yonkou and their crew, they have to develop a lot more to pose a physical threat to them, enough so that they could install themselves as a Yonkou crew. I don't think you understand, once Luffy becomes a Yonkou he will be virtually untouchable by the Marines, because Zoro and Sanji will be able to fight Admirals evenly and maybe even beat them. THAT is what it means to be a Yonkou, that is what they are striving for right now, and to get there will take some more time.
And Sanji is badass, I think he probably just kicked back some cannonballs towards Big Mom's ship until the Sunny flew out of its range.
But the Yonkous are right behind their ass right now, so will they get time to develop themselves in order to oppose a threat to them u any other pirates who tracks them down after this incident, don't know only six more arcs can tell, I hope an Admiral doesn't show the next arc because Damn they'll be fucked.
Ahh that's cute!
I don't get what you're saying, on one hand you want the New World to be this place so devastating making the Strawhats run for cover, and then on the other hand you think they can take on Admirals evenly, you even say you're assuming they can take on Yonkous because you say "we're seeing how those guys are messing things up for the big guns, so they better be strong enough to stand against them."
And if you hated using it, then don't use it. How is that my fault for responding back?
First of able the New World is no ruled by the Marines, it is ruled by Pirates and second of able Yonkous don't go out hunting pirates they sent a subordinate, so the Strawhats fleeing a battle because Law sees it as too risky or they are heavy out numbered is what I meant by that statement, is what I meant by real sense of danger.
And take it easy, I ain't blaming anybody for my use of that 'line' but If the hat fits you wear it.
My bad I meant to say Fugitora would have to deal with the debris hitting citizens. Suppressing Zoro into the ground was the safest action he could have taken given they were in a crowded area full of innocent people.
And that's all we've seen Fugitora do so far, so we have to work with what we're given.
So he posses a gravity fruit and he can pull meteors out of space but he's better at throwing things then at cutting and weighting things but that's the only thing that we have seen him do, so he still an unknown. It makes total sense.
PS: Are you screaming when you write in uppercase letters?
Edit it for people and put spoiler tags as plenty of users probably didnt seen yet attack on titan and you are spoiling it.
As for Pica point and comparing situations you might be right.
Woops sorry for kind of spoiling it for others. Gotta look out for other series as well :*
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
The definition of a swordsman seems to be pretty loose in the opverse.
I mean as i recall Daz bones was considered one, and he was kind of a freakshow.
But atleast those kind of swordsmen aren't as susceptible to swordsman wank.
Daz is not a swordsman it was mentioned. By himself as well if i remember correctly.
That doesn't says anything dude, Zoro can clash his sword with whatever he wants and doesn't need to be an obligated Zoro's oponent.
Aaaand Most of Issho's atacks come from his gravity ability not his sword, he hasn't even used his sword to cut anyone, soo a fight between Zoro and Issho is not gonna be "Sword vs Sword", it's gonna be Sword vs Gravity, that's why Zoro would lose now and always.
Based on what we've seen so far from Issho, there is no part of that "gravity" Zoro can't handle. Obviously, he has more stuff in his locker. Zoro seems to deal with the most difficult one(we've seen) easily. My point is Fujitora beating Zoro won't be because of his DF. Victory will be determine by combat experience, combat ability, Haki levels which Fuji have over him.
I guess Shanks uses his sword just like Vergo uses his bamboo stick. It's probably a super low-grade trashy saber turned godlike due to his godlike haki…!
Which would mean Shanks is not 100% swordsman, but 100% haki.
OR
It is a godlike- one of a kind-saber turned to a UBER-godlike-(light?)saber due to his godlike haki.
Combine that to his possible mihawk-class swordsmanship and that is what would give him the absolute superiority over the most characters in OP. That added to his intelligence and extraordinarily talented crew is what gives him his position as a Yonkou

Well she is a pretty fundamental link between the past and present of Dressrosa.
And of course, almost every arc has a damsel in distress. It thickens the plot somehow.
I'm up all night to get lucky.
@Da:
And of course, almost every arc has a damsel in distress. It thickens the plot somehow.
Yeah, it could be argued that she doesn't really bring anything to the table as such since we've seen it so many times before though.
@Da:
And of course, almost every arc has a damsel in distress. It thickens the plot somehow.
I thought Law was already performing this role
