Is zoro the 3rd strongest swordsmen alive behind shanks and mihawk? Or is shiryu or someone else stronger than him?

Lets just disregard the possibility that swords may not be able to consume logias or paramecias, what Devil fruit do you think is best for a sword, Logia, Paramecia, Zoan, don’t matter 🤷‍♂️ Me personally, I think Black Beards Darkness fruit or Marcos Fruit. With the Yami-Yami-No-Mi you could pull in and stop other peoples DF abilities, with Marcos you could heal Ig 💀

Yo! It's ranking time again. This is going to be a fun one. First, let's establish what counts as a swordsmen.

1. The character should use sword as their primary weapon/fighting style.

2. The character must weild a sword with a hilt and a blade, meaning weilding other forms of edged weapons dosen't counts as a swordsmen. E.g.(Whitebeard, Killer, Katakuri)

3. Since this is top 30 best swordsmen, the ranking would be based on sword skill more so then devil fruits or other strengths.

Who do you think are the best swordsmen in One Piece? And where is the current King of Hell in that ranking? Do you think he's going to outperform everyone historically? follow my list below.

1. Shimotsuki Ryuma (The one that inspired the creation of Roronoa Zoro, a humble samurai from the Land of Wano and acclaimed by the title of The God of the Sword, the insurmountable barrier of the old Gold Country, the WG and the greatest pirates of the New World, were infinite lines. from enemies around the world who invaded that country, all were defeated, by the one who never lost a single fight in his life, possibly the most powerful man of his time and also the 1st person who left a Black Blade in all of history).

2. Dracule Mihawk (He is the strongest swordsman in the world and “stands on top as the strongest of them all”, undisputedly, he is the strongest man alive who carries a sword. His Vivre Card says, "He looks forward to the day when a master swordsman will rise to overcome his rival Shanks", and not least, Mihawk is the only one besides Ryuma who has managed to turn his sword blade black).

3. Shanks (The youngest Yonko and leader of the most powerful pirate crew currently possible, Shanks is undoubtedly one of the greatest Swordsmen in One Piece, being able to even match Mihawk when he still had his left arm, inspired by Himura Kenshin, even without an arm, i think the difference between him and Mihawk is very low).

4. Silvers Rayleigh (The Dark King, Gol D. Roger's right-hand man and best friend and one of the greatest masters in Haki, Garp considers him as dangerous as Whitebeard himself, Kizaru says he didn't have the resources to capture that old man who didn't argue his sword for years, an old Rayleigh faced Admiral Kizaru, wounded him and fled the navy without major problems).

5. Gorosei: Shodai Kitestu (Possibly the greatest swordsman of the World Government and the one who possesses a Cursed Blade of Supreme Grade, a sword harder to be tamed than Enma herself).

6. Kozuki Oden (The one who was born to boil and who immortalized himself in the souls of many, the one who has the best Nitoryu of One Piece, one of the greatest swordsmen who were ever born in Wano Country. With his most powerful technique, Tougen Totsuka, coating his 2 swords with Haoshoku Haki, managed to cause severe damage to a Kaido who was close to his peak.

7. Issho Fujitora (The current Marine Admiral, also known as the Purple Tiger, Issho was created based on Zatoichi from the story: The Blind Swordsman, for his position we can't put him below that).

8. Roronoa Zoro (The current King of Hell and follower of Ashura's path, the one who carries Ryuma's will and principles. He is fated to be at the top and claims her name will be so great that even the heavens have heard it. The Future Greatest Swordsman in History).

9. Trafalgar D. Water Law (The first D. that appears in this classification, Law needs no introduction, his powers in conjunction with his Cursed Blade: Kikoku, cut through space and inflict devastating damage even against extremely tough opponents, completely negating their defenses and destroying them from within).

10. Shiryu (We still don't know what he's really capable of, he's one of Blackbeard's top fighters and is just as dangerous as Magelan).

Note: This is my first fruit concept, so it might suck (I will!)

Explanation: You can summon swords from across history, but they have to be made from your OWN flesh and blood.

Type: Paramecia

Lets say, I make a sword, the draw back is: I'm making the sword from my flesh, so it's taking away parts of my skin, and putting it into the sword (Don't worry, it'll still look like a normal sword, not a weird flesh sword). It's pretty much gonna make you look like a skeleton with skin. But if the sword breaks or you deactivate it, it goes back into your body, so basically, you get your flesh back.

That's the draw back.

Also if you use haki with it, it makes the sword have more durability (of course), so you won't have to just keep making weak swords.

Abilities: Of course, like everyone else's fruit, you can make your own abilities, but this fruit has basic abilities too!

Skill 1: Invisible Thrust; The user pulls back their sword, then thrusts it forward, creating a fast traveling invisible air wave.

Haki: The same thing, but its clear (like you can almost see it now), and of course it does more damage to the opponent(s), and can hit Logia Users.

Skill 2: Scabbard; The user stands in a stance with their sword in the ground, if they are hit, the sword lets out a golden burst of haki, then the opponent is stunned for a few seconds, in cause of shock.

These are the skills that you have to MASTER before creating your own.

Tell Me What You Think!!

@Abaisbalanced

So I’ve been thinking, is Mihawk really a pirate? He doesn’t really have a crew n it doesn’t seem like he does all the piraty type stuff, maybe he’s sorta like a bounty hunter or simply a swordsman ready to scrap whenever someone pulls up. I guess we’ll find out if we get a flashback on him. What do y’all think?
