-Mihawk admitted to be serious against pre-ts Luffy
-Serious Mihawk struggled with tagging base pre-ts Luffy
-Marco was confident in sending their YC4 (best case scenario) alone to stop Mihawk, without any backup.
-Mihawk said he'd be fool to not have heard of Vista, suggesting that he respects his strenght :
-Mihawk was in a deadlock with Vista and asked for a postponement
-WG didn't give a fuck about losing Mihawk after the warlorlds disbanded, Oda never drew a scene of them lamenting how much of a loss he was unlike with Kuzan :
