Just checked that new piece of spoilers. But bow with Buggy and Mihawk's bounty it looks more like there's rivalry between Buggy and Mihawk rather than old facts about Shanks and Mihawk. Also even after knowing perfectly well like us that he's the strongest, they didn't put him in the same league as old emperors. Lol
It isn't a rivalry though? Cross Guild put out pamphlets in the News Paper & the Marines thought Buggy was the leader because he was in the middle lmao. No different from us fans powerscaling based on double page spreads etc,.
But the fact is, even when Buggy is being deemed the Emperor - Mihawk still has the higher bounty so it naturally leads to speculation on how high would Mihawk be if Mihawk was percieved as the leader...
And this is a new organization. Look at how small the RHP bounties were when they weren't Yonkos yet, the RHP has had 10+ years to create a dominion in the New World, take over territories, gain influence and become an established Empire while CG is a completely new organization.
Now he has subordinates and by clubbing them all it's like having a yonko crew. Right ?
Crocodile & Buggy lol. I agree Crocodile is strong as fuck (still weaker than Beckman) but the rest? No way bro, RHP clearly shit stomp lol.
Marines considers Cross Guild as a group of pirates and releases bounties in the name of them.
It's not like Bounties are outside the fact that either Shanks or Kaido or BM or Mihawk are all solos and outside there respective crews. Lol
Also Mihawk's past deeds and still targeting marines and now being part of a crew/organization couldn't help him get into the club of 4B+ but got hang with rookie.
Just be fair & ask yourself.. if Buggy wasn't seen as the leader how high would his Bounty be when Crocodile only has 1.9. And what would've happened if Marines actually thought Mihawk was the person leading the organization...
Precisely, which is why it makes no sense to slander Mihawk for having less than 4. Because its a new and fairly weak organization compared to a full fledged Yonko Empire.
