Buggy is comical relief, he will outlive all the examples you listed. Joining the clown crew is a safe bet, can't get clowned if you are literally a clown.
  1. Cross guild is going after the one piece
  2. The strawhats are going after the one piece
  3. Only one crew will get the one piece and make their captain pirate king
  4. Luffy is going to become pirate king
It’s not complicated

1. It's a cartoonish manga. There might be an entire arc of SHP chasing after Buggy to recover the One Piece.
2. How else will Zoro get his fight with Mihawk?
3. One piece isn't a consumable and it doesn't apply Pirate King status, which is a title and the treasure is an item. There's a difference betwen the two.
4. Sabo > Luffy

Finding the one piece make you pirate king and luffy is going to become pirate king…

Because Zoro would want to fight Mihawk and Mihawk would want to fight Zoro. You are ignoring narrative implications and writing decisions Oda is making.

You are right Cross Guild is irrelevant, SAVE for the fact that it is an avenue to involve Mihawk (and whatever other pirate group they recruit) in the fight for One Piece. Why do you think the entirety of 1082 exists, especially this page?



Do you think Oda just writes dialogue like this with no payoff?

Once again, this entirely supports Mihawk being invovled in the fight for One Piece, and thus his endgame with Zoro. I have still not heard one justifiable reason Mihawk needs to be "saved" for the WG or after.

Hell, if the WG arent the final villains (unlikely, but lets play devils advocate), nothing I said above changes, as Mihawk could then just be Zoro's final fight before One Piece anyway.
Its a cope argument
If Imu is final villain, nasjuro is zoro final battle

Zoro know where mihawk stands. He know he isn't ready for that stage yet.
No way even if he cross path with him , he will fight.
He got the reality check in East Blue and 2 years of training what Mihawk is capable of.
Even after fighting Kaido , he called Mihawk "inhuman".

That itself speaks volume.

Fighting Mihawk after Gorosei makes no sense. The story will pretty much be done. Also Venusjuro also relies on DF thus proving he ain’t a true sword freak unless proven otherwise.
That's the point lol.
Zoro vs Mihawk had nothing to do with story to begin with.
Its hyped since Pre time skip and even at that time it had nothing to do with MC plot. Its Zoro's story.

Zoro vs Mihawk is the prologue.

?? Too early? Zoro is defeating YCs, his next stage is to struggle against Admirals and Mihawk, who is equivalent to a Yonko at this rate lmao. Like outside of Shiryu and Fuji/Ryo. There is virtually no one else to fight.

Nobody is saying they HAVE to fight in the initial conflict over the 4th RP. For all we know, Zoro defeats Shiryu or Fujitora in that war, then fights Mihawk while Luffy faces Blackbeard or Shanks at LT.

This isnt rocket science man

Still beside the point. The Yonko (which Mihawk is a part of now through Buggy) are all vying for One Piece.

You have Mihawk's role to play in the endgame at this point, and he is heavily tied to Shanks to begin with, who is tied to Blackbeard. Not to mention, Ryokugyuu has it out for the Red Hair Pirates, and Ryokugyuu works for Akainu, who has ties to Kuzan, who is under Blackbeard and Buggy is also tied to Shanks.

You can, very clearly, see that a giant war is coming over One Piece. However, there is a very clear line of separation between all of these factions, and the Revo's/WG, the latter of which do not need to be directly involved in that fight and just wait for everyone to take each other out.


And you also have the fact that Mihawk himself has called the road to PK harder to achieve than the road to WSS. It justifiably makes sense for Zoro to achieve his status before Luffy does
I think Mihawk agenda will change.
Knowing almost nothing of the guy who'll Zoro fight to be WSS is odd.

That's the part you don't understand.
Zoro isn't ready for that level yet.

His observation might be strong but Still not ready for Mihawk , Shanks had to devise Future killing for this.

Mihawk is > Yonkou and Admiral.

Shiryu/Aokiji - Average Blade , maybe among 21 great swords.

Nasujuro - Supreme grade sword
Mihawk. - supreme grade and it's Black blade.

Meh, his agenda has always been this depressed, bored pirate because nobody will truly fight him, not seeing how this is supposed to change.

First off, we need to stop assuming that Nasujuro follows the same "rules" of swordsmanship that black blade users follow anyhow. We already know that Black Blades upgrade the ranking of the sword as it was originally. This implies Yoru was not a surpeme grade before it turned black. Shusui is a level lower as a black blade, which means it was even lower when Ryuma started using it.

Shodai kitetsu (what we assumed Nasujuro has) is the only surpeme grade blade currently known outside of Roger and Whitebeard's swords (and maybe Shanks' Gryphon). There is no confirmation that Supreme Grade swords can turn black on their own. That said, we still do not know what the upper limits of these Gorosei are. And considering Saturn's showing already, its pretty high.


Mihawk is relative to every other endgame character here, that being Akainu, Shanks and Blackbeard. Lets stop inflating his "greatness" over characters clearly more important than him (i.e. to Luffy, who is the MC of this story)

Unless Luffy taps into god mode like Baryon mode from Naruto.
Mihawk is always around to humble Luffy. They both remains relative till EOS.

Mihawk is not even relative Yonkou. He's above them for sure.

Earlier whitebeard took the title. Now it's Mihawk. Strongest title means something.
