Enhanced Swordsmanship
With the expertise of a seasoned swordsman and fencer, Jean Pierre Polnareff's Silver Chariot (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part III: Stardust Crusaders) could create "gaps" in the air itself with inhuman speed and slice an opponent faster than the average eye could process.
Power/Ability to:	Possess the skills of a master swordsman.

"There may be a hundred sword techniques but you win with just one. A stroke of the sword that misses is a fatal opening which can be exploited for a decisive blow. Conquering personal weakness is the essence of swordsmanship."

― Teachings of Yagyū Shinkage-ryū, one of the most prominent schools of samurai swordsmanship.

"The sword is a simple tool, but in the hands of a master, it becomes the most versatile of weapons. And just as the imagination is limitless, so too are the possibilities of the sword."

― Piandao (Avatar: The Last Airbender)

"Sorry, but I have total control over where my sword strikes."

― Sharrkan Amun-Ra (Magi The Labyrinth of Magic)

"Without subtlety, a sword is but an iron bar."

― Dracule Mihawk to Roronoa Zoro on Yoru (One Piece)

"If you spent as much time practicing your swordplay as you do practicing your wit you would rival Master Yoda as a swordsman."

"I thought I already did."

― Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars)

The ability to be highly proficient in bladed weapons. Variation of Weapon Proficiency.

Capabilities

Users are able to demonstrate a natural aptitude for the ways of the sword. Regardless, of the sword’s shape or size, the user can wield it as if it were an extension of their hand(s). They can wield a sword with incredible expertise in speed, power, and skill, allowing them to perform feats such as stopping and deflecting bullets, decimating large objects or areas, cutting through solid material such as steel, and even hold back their strength to deal damage to their foes without killing them.

The user can sword-fight with little or no effort, deliver skillful strikes to weak points with great precision, and cut only and exactly what they want. This ability also allows them to become naturally skilled with multiple swords or any type of sword regardless of shape or size to suit their needs in combat. Their remarkably fast weapon control may allow them to bypass obstacles in order to cut their intended target.
