■Today we will talk about Mihawk / Shanks with Proofs let& #39;s see each one :
●Mihawk is a Swordman who is famous before the Great Pirate Era even started ; he fought all the swordmen in the World until he doesn& #39;t find a worthy one who can push him and by then He becomes the WSS.
■ Shanks as Mihawk Rival obtained his Yonko Title 6 years ago and he is a swordman who fought ( Mihawk ) or clashed in panels( WB / Akainu / MarineFord Scene - Ace ) with his Famous Sword gryphon .
[ Gryphon ]​
<< it& #39;s a sword which has a long history of battles, managed to stop a Magma Fist and is characterized by its wonderful elegance >>
【グリフォン】​
<< 歴戦を共にした愛刀。マグマの拳を止める強靭さと鷲獅子の優美さを誇る。>>
■Once upon a time, Mihawk fought fiercely as a rival with Shanks.
<< かつてはシャンクスと、ライバルとして激しく争った事もある。>>

■Their Duels was mentioned by WB as legendary battles when he had 2 arms.

☆Oda used Mihawk& #39;s name in chapter 96 also in Ace novel to hype Shanks.
■ Note : For Ppl who are claiming Shanks isn& #39;t a swordman .

☆ We saw Shanks as a kid using a sword
☆ Against shiki he used a sword .
☆ Against mihawk he used a sword.
☆ When he sensed Ace coming he reached for his sword .
☆ Ace novel stated when shanks Coc wasn& #39;t enough to make Ace unconscious he grabbed his sword
☆ He has a named sword called gryphon
☆ He clashed against WB with his sword
☆ He Blocked Akainu with his sword
☆ He Challenged Marineford by brandishing his sword .
■ But to help Luffy he lost his dominant arm .
■ There is a Statement from the Magazine which implied Shanks losing Power after he lost his dominant arm .
<< Even with one arm ;
His power is overwhelming >> .
■ There is a statement from the Red Databook which implied Shanks was once as powerful as the WSS .

<< Shanks was once as powerful as the world& #39;s best swordsman. >>

<< シャンクスはかって、世界一の剣豪と肩を並べたほどの実力を持つ。>>
■ You can translate it if you want or ask someone who will translate it for you but there is someone who translated it and mentioned
<< Used to be >> which implies that Shanks lost his power after losing his arm despite being a Yonko and if we analyse it it makes sense

-If you lost a limb only if you have a DF power then you will regenerate it or remplace it like kidd& #39;s DF ability but shanks never showed any df power and you will find him with one arm in his clashes .
■Another confirmation:

<<He not only distinguishes a person’s talent from the sword, but he can also see the true strength of those who stand before him>>
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="▪" title="Schwarzes kleines Quadrat" aria-label="Emoji: Schwarzes kleines Quadrat">That& #39;s why he was the first person to discover the declining strength of WB in MF and luffy& #39;s true strength

■Direct Statement from the VC:
<<"Hawk& #39;s eyes" that every Swordman is afraid of is looking forward to the arrival of a swordman who surpasses "red hair" ...!>>

<< 剣を業とする全ての者が畏れる「鷹の目」は、か つて刃を交えた「赤髪」を凌ぐ使い手の到来を、未来に見据えている…!>>
● As You can see the VC implied two things :
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="▪" title="Schwarzes kleines Quadrat" aria-label="Emoji: Schwarzes kleines Quadrat"> Every Swordman is afraid of Mihawk .
( Vista included )
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="▪" title="Schwarzes kleines Quadrat" aria-label="Emoji: Schwarzes kleines Quadrat"> Mihawk is waiting for a swordman stronger than Red Hair.
☆After all these proofs we can conclude one thing and which is :
- there is no such a thing like Shanks >= Mihawk
● there is only one fact :
Mihawk is stronger than Yonko Shanks
