Powers & Abilities There Can no Longer be Any Doubt; Mihawk is a Conqueror

[Cinera]

The latest chapter makes it unambigously clear:

To break down what happened.

Zoro unleashes his Haoshoku and knocks down fodder:

King notices it and comments on Zoro's "kingly ambitions":

Immediately, after, we're shown what those "kingly ambitions" of Zoro's are.

He thinks back to his promise to Luffy to become the World's Strongest Swordsman:

And then explicitly states that King is right, as he made such promises to his captain and his best friend:

Mihawk is the current World's Strongest Swordsman. To aspire to be the World's Strongest Swordsman is to seek to reign above all swordsmen, to become a King. If Zoro who merely holds that ambition is a Conqueror, then how much more so the current occupant of the title?

He who reigns at the top and is waiting for Zoro:

The very one that Zoro seeks to surpass:

And it goes without saying that if Zoro is capable of Haoshoku coating then Mihawk also would be.


But more than just being any ordinary Conqueror, Mihawk is probably one of the greatest of Conquerors.

Zoro awakened as a Conqueror in order to pass Enma's test:

How much more so Mihawk who not only mastered the "finest blade" in the world but (most likely) also forged it into kokuto:

[RayanOO]

To be fair given Mihawk relevance portrayal and importance to the plot it was always highly likely that Mihawk had COC.

Mihawk is fucking strong.

But ....

 

[Patryipe]

Shut up.

Shanks blackened Yoru and gave it to Lihawk as birthday gift, that's fucking obvious.

 

[h_zorothegoat]

Mihawk top 2 in verse :cheers:

 

[Den_Den_Mushi]

There should be no doubt in anyone's mind at this point that Mihawk is a Conqueror. Any other response is merely cope.

Mihawk meets all the basic requirements to have CoC. He even displays additional traits indicative of Conquerors, including being intimidating enough to tame animals. The stuff we learned this chapter about a sword choosing its wielder only proves that all Supreme Grade meito wielders MUST be Conquerors.

 

[comrade]

100%. Mihawk is one of the most powerful individuals right now. Probably top 3.

 

[God Buggy]

Were there ever any doubts? Lol.
Every top tier will be able to use CoC.

 

[Saikō No Kenshi]

The common sense of an average intelligent reader should have understood in the course of all the chapters that Mihawk will undoubtedly have Kings Haki.

 

[Marco]

Clairvoyant Hawk Eyes Mihawk probably CoO user

Black Blade Yoru best CoA user, atleast amongst swordsmen

His student basically has almost as good CoC as the 3 Yonko on Wano and his rivals COc has been hyped. Tied best CoC user at worst

Mihawk is OP. Who would've known? :yasu:

 

[Fn Lucci]

I'm not a fan of giving people certain traits because Zoro has them.

 

[сука]

Yes. Mihawk's haki is what makes him the strongest swordsman over Shanks and everyone else.

I figured this shit when haki was introduced.

And when Zoro used CoC, I also knew Shanks won't even get to be the best at that...

 

[Zowo]

mihawk and zoro downplayers in the mud

 

[Vanlax]

Would be damn hell funny if haki-man-Shanks turns out to be a df user and Mihawk actually being the haki-man between the two.

 

[Kingfisher]

He is the strongest alive. He isn't just Zoro's end fight. He or his parents definitely would have significant role in history.

 

[Queek Hea D Taker]

Top 3 unless the Gorosei are OP.

 

[Geo]

How can Posthawk be a conqueror when he only fights fodders and runs away from yc3 Vista

 

[RayanOO]

Mihawk top 5

I think he is below Kaido, Dragon, Akainu and Shanks (and soon BB).

Except that he can be stronger than anyone else

 

[Steven]

Top 3 lol

With what feats?

 

[Marimo_420]

Mihawk, Akainu and Kaido are the top 3 in verse rn.

In any order.

 

[Finalbeta]

We should wait and establish what the black blade feat entails first imo, but he should be a CoC freak if I had to place my cents.
