Sword Fighting

In One Piece Online, Sword fighting is the only type of fighting that can win a person a fight easily and quickly. In sword fighting, there are many factors that determine whether or not a person will win.

These factors include:
 * Hat weight 
 * Length of sword
 * Footwork 
 * Speed

Hat weight does matter as there are hats heavy enough to keep one from jumping high. It also makes rotating slower, so having a heavy hat or many hats, is unfavourable.

 The length of the sword you are using is important. Even the tip of a sword does the same amount of damage as the rest of the sword, so you can kill a player by just stabbing them lightly. This also helps because it helps you keep aa safer distance between you and your target.

Footwork boils down to how skilled you are at using your mouse in unison with the WASD keys. You have to be able to keep a safe distance from your opponent and at the same time damage that person. You have to target the sides or the back of the person where the sword cannot reach so you can take minimal damage and at the same time damage your opponent. You also have to use the lunge attack (double clicking) to the fullest. This means actually wiggling the sword while it is inside an opponent. This multiplies the damage output and can win a fight almost instantly if done correctly.
