Shanks is a Yonkou. He is so strong the mere idea that he could ally himself with Whitebeard sent the WG into a tailspin, and his presence stopped an entire war.

It's never been confirmed one way or another that Shanks is a swordsman. Simply using a tool does not mean that you can only use that tool.
And a title doesn't "prove" how strong someone is, but it is definitely bestowed based on reputation and ability (such as the title of Yonkou, or Shichibukai).

Are you really trying to base an argument on 2 or 3 panels that showcase nothing of real importance?

Are there unknown people out there as strong as Mihawk (with a sword)? I don't know. But, as I said, Oda placed importance on the title and even the marines admit he is the strongest swordsman. So, he is at least the strongest swordsman amongst all known forces. Whether he is as strong or not compared to unknown forces is, of course, unknown

Thank you for speaking on behalf of the unknown blind man and his one page of interesting ability. I'm sure he appreciates your help...

Fair point. This would even allow Oda to have Luffy and the current generation defeat Admirals without actually defeating the known most powerful Admirals.
