Mihawk was going to fight in the final war by siding with the government as a Shichibukai but it turns out to be he is being chased like a dog by the marines now instead and he has no where to go, perhaps he decides to chase fodders in East Blue again.
Mihawk will never be as important as Yonko thus he can't rival any Yonko in power. Not in Oda's series. Pretty sure Wano Zoro is very close to Mihawk right now, and he is a mere pawn of Luffy against any Yonko, he is currently no match.
Mihawk was shown fighting against the Yonko commanders before; he fought Vista and asked for postponement. Vista said its advantageous for both meaning that they were equals in that fight. And BB pirates (Shiryu) defeated WB pirates (Vista) in Payback War. Mihawk was always meant to fight against the underlings; Vista, Zoro, Daz Bones, and now it will be Shiryu.
Shiryu stealing the invisibility is a direct counter for Mihawk's hawkeye vision ability. The guy's name is literally ''Hawkeye'' Mihawk, if you neutralize his Hawkeye ability, he will be massively hindered. Giving Shiryu the diamond would change his offensive abilities since diamond can't add anything extra while moving, he would need to punch instead of cutting. Invisible sword slashes are more dangerous than a direct diamond charge attacks via whole body which is dodgeable.
Oda forehadowed the fight between Mihawk and Shiryu, now that Perona is searching for Moria, who will join BB, there will be another connection between Shiryu and Mihawk due to Perona. Read chapter 925. There's absolutely no reason to add Mihawk in that chapter when the chapter was suppose to show Shiryu's new power and it was suppose to be Teach's reaction to the current events. What was the purpose of showing Mihawk in that chapter when he was irrelevant to the current events unless Oda is foreshadowing the confrontation between Upgraded new swordsman Shiryu and Mihawk. If the intention was talking about the abolition of Shichibukai system then any Shichibukai could be shown as well, not Mihawk only and it wasn't even certain yet that was just a talk at the moment, it wasn't necessary, yet Mihawk somehow included in a chapter where swordsman Shiryu's new power has been shown for the fist time. I guess this is just a coincidence for some people.
Swordsman Shiryu already was hyped as Magellan's equal before. Yet people think the featless bald Gorousei should be superior to Mihawk, not the swordsman who was hyped to be Magellan's equal in power, this wasn't even enough, he also got the invisibility power up.
Why Mihawk's CoO is weak and instead he relies on his eyes? He couldn't even sense the defeated Baboons on his own island, he was surprised and worried when Zoro said he beat them. While Rayleigh senses every animal on an island and tells Luffy how many of them he can beat. Mihawk relies on his ''Hawkeye'' ability instead, you expect this guy's CoO will be top level... Not a chance. Invisible Shiryu will waste this guy due to having a direct counter for his Hawkeye vision.
We should also ask more people when it comes to Mihawk's obvious end, what do you guys think?
