I don't think that will work- at least not with the hook swords.

The bow and shield would be really hard to incorporate with hook swords because the curve of the hook is very different from that displayed in your image. These hooks are necessary to catch weapons or an opponent's limbs. Without them, you can't do that fancy hooking thing (even though it doesn't look that important to me).

Not only is the hook incorrect, but you are missing the handguard, an essential part of the weapon. The guard is incredibly useful and essential in a world that seems to favor agility, acting similar to cresent knives (which some argue to be the best weapon). Without it, you lose out on the ability to slash at opponents or trap their weapon.

Lastly, hooks swords are decently thick and may be too inflexible to reasonably make a bow
