Tyvm. He would absolutely and that deafening irony is hilariously perfect.
I'm so sick of the powescalers, feat/hype chasers and as you said the "tough" guys/edgelords who think they live and die by the sword and even are as sharp as one.
In other words, fuck posers too.
This comes to mind:
I know this ironically comes across as a superiority complex kinda thing but at least I'm aware of why it's bad too unlike some others lol.
I also feel the most loyal and thus true fans are the most quietly spoken, they don't need to peacock it, to shout it from the rooftops and draw clout/aggro, because its not actually about them but the character they quietly, simply adore.
Just like Zoro isn't some loud, extroverted, look at me type guy generally, especially with his even superior post timeskip and especially Godhawk enhanced discipline than he already had too!
Finally one last thing, ALL the Mihawk downplayers can truly start eating humbe pie and shutting the front door, that is their mouths more often now.
I was so TIRED of the Mihawk downplay for YEARS especially calling him a fraud and now a subordinate of Buggy and such.
I'm furious at how Oda has handled Buggy here ironically but Crocodile and Mihawk are finally getting more wank and role as they deserve and thus more importantly, more into their characters and psyche.
I'm liking what we learn about them here.
I can't wait till we learn what Crocodiles secret is and someone suggested, he is the one Caribou is trying to appease, which makes RIDICULOUS SENSE especially after this chapter too!
Sand logia and a swamp one, both are slick in their own ways, similar sinister vibes although Oda made Caribou more of a gag character but still, Crocodile wanting PLUTON which we know is in Wano now too and thus his for the taking potentially!
Caribou could tell Crocodile about Shirahoshi/Poseidon too naturally and this would help him get the Yonko tier recognition he showed he wanted in this chapter, instead of Buggy getting the credit accidentally!
He could end up betraying the Guild once he gets Pluton or especially once he's gone and gotten it already slyly, maybe convincing them to go attack Wano somehow and thus we could see Mihawk vs all the Samurai which is gonna be HILARIOUS and finally clear up how he compared to them but since this is Oda, we might get it in a flashback at best or especially in a cover story or rotor, offscreen ofc.
I have no idea where he is going with Mihawk still too but I love this and I can tell Oda seems to hate people downplaying Mihawk as not onlybgucej what this chapter states BUT he made a comment AGES ago on people underestimating and thus disrespecting/devaluing his characters and thus insisting to prove them wrong or something like that.
I just wonder what's happened to Boa STILL and I feel that might not actually be Sabo contacting the Revolutionaries but Catarina or someone else potentially somehow.
It seems a little too suspicious from the sounds of it.
Also wtf about the new SSG weapon?! Vegapunk when Oda?! Sigh....
Hopefully we're gonna get Urouge soon too FINALLY! Even if he gets the Drake, Hawkins, Apoo etc treatment...
