Summary:
Human was taken as a race over HElf to make the build future proof. If humans are able to take any Pre as their racial you will be able to take Kensei there while keeping Ninja Spy in monk. HElf will give you the ability to have 3d6 more sneak attack.
The build starts out using fists and then switching to longswords at 20 when Oathblade becomes available and you can start twisting in A Dance of Flowers. Once you get your Celestia(s) switch your specialization over to shortswords.
The damage comes out to 5(1d10)+51 mainhand before buffs while in Fury. With buffs it comes out to 6(1d10)+68. Throw in 10 haste / damage boosts, manslayer proc, radiance, greater good, greater sunburst, and fiery detonation... I can assure you I would not do more damage unarmed.
