For the complete and candid fucking record:
- I believe Mihawk is one of the most powerful people in the series, second only to very few people
- I still 100% believe he's Zoro's endgame
- I am simply talking about PRESENTED PORTRAYAL IN THE MANGA
However, it's completely and utterly maniacal to think Mihawk has higher relevance, status, importance than someone like Shanks. Compare the number of times either has been shown in the manga. Compare their scenes. Compare what they've done.
This is a straight up fact. Not one person can sit here and tell me Shanks has been portrayed less than any single fucking character in this series.
Utterly insane conversation we are having. And this is why I never have it, because evidently Oda showing him drive off an Admiral with Conquerors has to do with "sword skill" and thus elevates Mihawk? That's the dumbest shit I've ever heard.
