Mihawk's title is "World's Greatest Swordsman" not "Guy who can kill anyone who uses a sword." If Whitebeard picked up a sword does that give Mihawk the sudden ability to kill him?
Mwk's title says that he can beat any swordsman. Since WB is obviously not a swordsman, he is not included in a sword fight.
You are NOT a swordsman if u pick up a sword. Nightmare Luffy was able to wield a sword, but can't he be considered as a swordsman. Same with WB.
Shanks has more cards up his sleeve than just a sword.
What exactly is ur basics for that statement? I assume haki isn't the only thing you are basing this.
wtf? Mihawkk is yonkou level now? LOL
Yonko/Admiral lvl = last tier lvl.
We all know the monster trio will reach at the end of OP (or even before) the last tier level. Oda is building Mwk as Zoro's
last goal for now about 10 years. Using some brain it is 's not so hard to understand that Mwk is at high tier level as well.
Anyway, here a bit better explained post.
Honestly are you expecting Shanks to rape Mwk in 3 seconds or sth?
I'll have you all know It takes 7 shichibukai to match the power of 3 admirals in order to BALANCE out the Greatest Pirate force which is the 4 yonkou. so Mihawk being a shichibukai he has no business being "near" yonkou level or "at yonkou level" cause that would insinuate Mihawk Can overwhelm atleast 1 admiral..which doesnt make sense
What kind of understanding of the three great power is that? We know Garp mentioned the MHQ and not only the Admirals. In the current arc, are the Admirals the only one fighting from the MHQ forces?
Also that power balance wasn't accuracy from the beginning, I mean Dragon isn't mentioned. Also its not like the WG does power measurement. Also the MHQ has to face EVERY pirate on sea. It's not like the yonko are the only ones, but they are the most powerful ones.
Dont bring their crews into this discussion cause when the yonkou are talking about in the manga no one mentions their crew, they only speak of the power of the individual.
Yes they are addresses as in individual, since they are the leaders of the their organisation. But they were referred as a crew for obvious reasons. We have here several character mentioning WB:
Garp (P4),
Iva (P2),
Drake Pirates (P5) Garp (P9) again
and some more. All these characters are referring to WB. However did he appear all alone?
No of course not.
Going back to Garp's
explanation:
"They rule the latter half of the grand line as kings would do" How reign Kings: all alone or with subordinates? Go ask ur history teacher.
let me put it this way. Take away all the fodder marines and pirate crews and Square off the 4 yonkou and the Marines 10 great powers (7 shichi+3 admirals if you didnt get there yourself) Then you would have an evenly matched fight.
Nonsense! Roger was WB's equal. We heard that Garp fought Roger on equal grounds. That alone puts Garp on WB's equal grounds. Your math is good for nothing. I can't even believe that u didn't even mentioned Sengoku or Garp in ur calculation.
Like a great man once said, the simplest explanation is the best.
Mihawk is a Shichibukai and luffy has taken down several of those/people on that level.
That great man must be reading sth else. There is no such thing as "Schibukai level" for obvious reasons. They vary in battle power as individual from middle class to high tier class. Moria clearly on middle class, while Mwk obviously on high tier class.
If they fight it wont be a masacre. Mihawk will have to sweat for his kill
I agree with that. The SHs are getting stronger at high pace. I believe if Luffy manages to learn haki he would give every monster trouble.
But Mwk CAN'T fall. The one who will beat him is Zoro and only him. With that Im not saying Zoro is the only one, but he is the one who will do it. This is foreshadowed by Oda for about 10 years.
@ Rotten The Wizard - I totally agree,
when Mihawk said :
I have given up fighting the one arm man liked you for a long time.
from my point of view, I would say that when "Mihawk" was trying to defeat Shanks he always failed, this is how I interpret that "I have given up".
You are only focusing on "giving up", thus ignoring the rest. What we know so far:
- Mihawk and Shanks were equals and rivals fighting for the top. (Red Datebook)
- Shanks spent one year in east blue and lost a arm.
Now rereading that sentence: "
I have given up fighting the one arm man liked you for a long time" it sound to me, that Mihawk lost interest in fighting Shanks since he lost a arm. They were rivals and fighting for the top. Suddenly Shanks disappears for a year in one of the weakest seas and comes back with only one arm. So I guess Mwk lost interest in Shanks, since he didn't considered him his equal anymore. That's at least how I see it.
Now 10 years later, Shanks is a boss of a mighty crew and Mwk the strongest swordsman. In a 1vs1 fight Mwk is stronger, but if Red-Hair pirates vs Hawk Eye, then Mwk will be raped.
Just to make sure: Im considering Mwk stronger than Shanks. But Im not saying this will be a rape. Both are without doubt on equal grounds. If we consider a death match between those two, then Mwk will kill Shanks. However he will lose two arms and other body while accomplishing that.
