he didn't had the title ... so WSS "title" logic don't apply to him
I'm not a toxic fan who writer his own fan fiction and believe his own lies
Shanks fuck Mihawk up
so luffy is already an emperor of the sea? the news said hes the 5th emperor, he has the title.
what we KNOW is that mihawk and shanks would duel before he lost his arm, and there is no winner recorded. mihawk refuses to duel shanks after he lost his arm and claims its because he doesnt want to settle things with a man who only has one arm. why is this? well theres three possibilities.
1. if mihawk beats shanks, its a meaningless victory. there were no winners before when shanks had his dominant (left) arm, so if mihawk wins now, he just clowned on a cripple. who cares. its not satisfying
2. if they still draw? this means shanks was holding back on him and its ultra embarassing. absolutely mihawk doesnt wnat this to happen because he's trying to be the ultimate cool guy who doesnt get worked up and emotional.
3. if mihawk loses he's not the WSS anymore. lame.
all three options are bad for him so he doesnt take the fight. is he still the Worlds Strongest Swordsman? yes. could there be someone else with a sword who is still stronger than him? yes.
