Since Vista got what he wanted in the end; stopping mihawk from attacking Luffy, yup Vista owned mihawk, mihawk couldn't even scratch Vista in their duel or couldn't make him pant, when even Old Rayleigh was panting against Kizaru.
You are throwing every nonsense (Kuro, Demaro etc.) you can find in the series, which all of them has been proved to be a lie.
While you still failed to prove that those marines in the Zoro novel were misinformed about WSS for some reason.
She didn't run, she wanted go to Kaido from the beginning, she had no reason to beat or fight marco. So, not sure where are you getting this nonsense. This is no different than saying mihawk ran from Krieg, when he had no intention of fighting with Krieg anymore, you act like Big mom wanted to defeat marco, but then she realized she couldn't then she escaped, that was never the case, she accomplished her goal by going to a place that she wanted from the beginning, and marco failed to stop her.
Jinbe cheap-shotted her from BEHIND with Robin's help, 2 v 1 cheapshotting is still not enough to hurt her. While Crocodile stopped mihawk from the front, without needing a cheapshot from behind, mihawk couldn't pass Crocodile.
I said the marines know better than you about mihawk because they live in One Piece, which is true. You don't know about mihawk's past bounty, and the things he did in the past. We don't know that.
Then you talk about the things we already know, like Demaro was lying about his identity, but then Sentoumaru openly exposes him for lying. Who exposed those marines for lying about WSS? Or why would those marines lie about WSS as if they were gaining benefits from lying like Demaro was gaining benefits from pretending to be Luffy? The example you give is completely irrelevant with the one we've.
