That's what happened though. Why doesn't Mihawk just roam around free ?
He is not agenda-driven like Kuzan, no purpose to get involved with any power yet he needs to be in an organisation so that he can enjoy his life.
Surely someone more powerful than Shanks wouldn't be targeted by the Navy
Umm so you didn't read the chapter when Navy kept on disturbing his sleep by sending one marine ship after him after another only for them to do.
Dude can't sleep can't drink his win..he had to change his base.
I mean Marines are retarded tho..now they have marine hunter in marine hunting organization and they have all royally shat their pants putting Yonko level bounty in case someone comes take him out for them since admirals can't do that.
You should ask yourself..if marines are so fucking scared of Mihawk that they put 4 billion bounty on him..why don't they just send an admiral or two to get him??
They know they'll get killed thats why.
