Character Discussion Who will be used as Mihawk's Hype Tool?

[Salah WG]

I know some people don't think Mihawk is Zoro's Final Fight for WSS Title, but there are already Threads for that, in this one we are gonna assume that their Fight is definitely happening, so in this Scenario, who do you think gonna be used as Hype Tool for Mihawk before his Fight with Zoro?

Is it gonna be Flashback of his Fights against Shanks?
Is he gonna have a Re-Match against Current Shanks?
Is he gonna overwhelm Shiryu?
Is he gonna hunt down an Admiral?
Is he gonna get serious in another encounter against Vista?
Or maybe Cross Guild will aim for Empty Throne & Mihawk gonna defeat Ghandi?
Or maybe he gonna fight S-Hawk & show us what differentiates him (Something that cannot be mimicked) from other Master Swordsmen?
... etc

I'd appreciate someone to tag those interested
PS: No need to say Mihawk is gonna lose against someone other than Zoro, that's not the Topic here, if you believe that then there are other Threads for that

Or maybe a flashback on why he became obsessed with fighting in the first place. He isn't a pirate yet he was in Roger execution.

What was his motivation.

 

[zenox]

i think its gonna be his fights with shanks and he is prob gonna have an encounter with an admiral

 

[HA001]

Fujitora

 

[Boiroy]

Shanks or Fujitora

 

[Vanlax]

Kidd's right arm...

 

[KageFumi]

Admiral

I have been wondering about this one myself for quite a while...
There are several options and the hype tool doesn't necessarily need to be defeated, like Shanks didn't defeat GB.
The options are:
Another encounter with Shanks.
Fujitora suffering under a Warlord flashback.
Defeating S-Hawk.
Hunting down a Marine swordsman we dont know flashback.
Fighting a swordsman from Rocks - Shiki.
Fighting Rayleigh is the past.

Shanks defeat someone > Indirect Mihawk hype.

Mihawk wank too?

 

[NikaInParis]

Mihawk wank too?

Zoro's EoS oponent -> gotta wank

 

[Sir Yasheen]

An admiral

 

[soheilhazrat]

Zoro's EoS oponent -> gotta wank

Damn you became swordbro

 

[Apollo]

I don't think Mihawk needs to beat anyone really. His hype and protrayal is top tier by themselves. He might get clashes but he isn't getting a proper fight with a clear conclusion on or off panel until he meets Zoro.

Imo Mihawk & Shanks gonna have a Re-Match either at Elbaf or next to Empty Throne Room
And while they are fighting we will simultaneously be getting their Flashback (At least their Past Duels)
It will be similar to Kakashi vs Obito from Anime

That's when Zoro interfers before the Duel ends (Where Mihawk was implied to be Stronger)
And Mihawk vs Zoro finally starts with Shanks & someone else as Spectators

Why would Mihawk fight Shanks again when he told him already that he has no interest in one armed men?

Yes, Mihawk isn't interested in their Duels anymore which were mostly to see who's Stronger
But i believe in Final War, Shanks will need to do something but Mihawk will stand in his way (They will be opposite Sides)
So they will be forced to fight for a Cause

That Fight & Flashback happening Simultaneously will both showcase how they were & how they become Power Wise, while also showing the difference between how their Purpose changed (We will get explanation of how Shanks became friendly with WG, while Mihawk became an Enemy & then how it became the opposite)

I also believe that every SH Dream is related to Activating One Piece, in other words just like every SH is helping Luffy reach One Piece, i believe that each of their Dreams contribute to the Task of Activating the Ultimate Treasure, so All Blue, Void Century, Franky's Final Ship, Chopper's Cure ... etc will all be necessary so that the Ending Dream can happen

And based on that, Mihawk's Defeat will also be revealed to be necessary just like the other 8 Dreams so that One Piece can be Activated (Not just Found) & this is why Shanks needs to fight him again, recently we got confirmation that Shanks wasn't chasing One Piece, but now that's not the case anymore & Shanks will now aim to defeat Mihawk

However Mihawk isn't in his Home Island anymore & is with Cross Guild who are most probably aiming for Empty Throne, and i believe Buggy is gonna sit there (That's what the Public will see & hear at least), but in reality we know that Mihawk & Crocodile will be the Bosses, and that's where Shanks & Beckman will come in

I don't know who will defeat Crocodile (Assuming he does get Defeated), but i believe that while Zoro & Mihawk are fighting, Third Strongest Swordsman & Beckman (Who represents the Zoro of Red-Hair Pirates that Luffy promised he will gather a Better Crew than) will both be Spectators of this Duel (Similar to Brook & Franky who spectated Zoro vs Ryuma, or Yamato & Momo who spectated Luffy vs Kaidou or Robin & Rebecca who spectated Kyros vs Diamante)
