No one is saying its delusional, his bounty makes sense because hes the FA and controls a big organization.
Cross Guild didnt put the bounty on Mihawk.
Admiral rank gets you 3 billion it has nothing to do with strength you said it yourself Kizaru>>> Kidd.
Lol look up older post on akainu cross guild , people like crux , jonudle calling 5 billion delusional.
You realize yonko literally have territory, armies , etc. Yet akainu bounty is higher than yonko .
Mihawk has 3.6 bounty while Akainu has 5 billion. Cross guild is on budget so if mihawk has CG bounty would be lower than WG bounty .
Luffy has 3 billion bounty for defeating kaido .
Having high bounty like 1.5 billion show strength hype since wci , wano . Saying like bounty nothing do with strength portrayal is laughable . Loki has 2.6 bounty and ha portrayal as top tier.
And cross guild under sell admiral bounty because budget issue . You say but akainu is leader , yet yonko are leaders so this argument is weak.
Admiral has 3 billion bounty under akainu lead is more impressive.
Crocodile as 1.9 billion and if you take oda power level statement seriously, Crocodile is prime rayleigh level due clash tie with bullet .
Zoro as 1 billion bounty as underling and yet he has top tier feats from clash yonkos , scar kaido which it is oden level , did better than gear 5 luffy on rob lucci .
