...he simply made the same observation that several others made as well.
I have seen this cope too many times that Mihawk admitted inferiority to Whitebeard by deciding to test the gap in their strength.
The truth is, that simply never happened and I grew tired of explaining to every single individual what actually happened...
...so I decided to end it once and for all with this thread.
What can you expect in this thread? Facts, common sense and the most important, context.
Even the bright individuals of OP community, with IQ above room temperature fall for the trap of looking at isolated panels.
This time, I am serving a lot of context so brace yourselves. Let's go!
To give you a sense of the battlefield, here is the map of Marineford alongside the formation of battleships and cannons.
The formation clearly suggests that they never expected Whitebeard's ships to appear where they did and several characters have confirmed this in the manga and Tsuru said their formation might be all wrong after she realized where he would resurface. They expected to fight Whitebeard outside of the Marineford bay!
However, knowing they would prepare for his arrival, Whitebeard chose to do something unorthodox, something that would allow them to avoid the barrage of all the battleships around the island as well as all the cannons around the island and instead appeared in the middle of the bay where the walls protect them from the warship cannon fire but in turn, it exposed them to all the troops Marineford had lined up. That was a risk they were willing to take.
With Whitebeard's ships appearing where nobody expected them, the leader and main strategist of the Marines thinks the following:
Sengoku's first comment upon seeing where Whitebeard appeared is that they are very CLOSE to them.
And mind you, Sengoku is the furthest away from Whitebeard considering he is all the way in the back, on the execution scaffold.
Speaking of physical locations on the map and Sengoku being furthest away, who is the closest to Whitebeard?
The front lines, next to the cannons on the walls, of course! And who is on the front lines among Mareinford troops?
Well, see for yourselves:
Nobody is physically closer to Whitebeard than Warlords at the very start of the front lines!
Do you smell what I am cooking with this?
At this point, you should indeed smell it unless you already decided that copium is your nindo.
Whitebeard is incredibly close to the front lines, no wonder several characters remarked the physical distance.
Whitebeard is barely a ship's length away from the front lines!
Now, with context served and digested, the facts are evident, several characters are thinking that Whitebeard is way too close to them.
Physically, without using a measuring stick or whatever nonsense the copium huffers were coming up with.
Nobody is starting a dick measuring contest in Marineford at that point except for agenda pushers among the OP fandom.
Two powerhouses among the Marineford troops have the same idea - Whitebeard is physically close enough to be taken out right away!
Those powerhouses are Mihawk and Kizaru. Both of them attempt to take out Whitebeard first.
Immediately after Mihawk's attempt fails, Kizaru jumps and tries the same.
Marco responds and clears up the nonsense - despite being very close to enemy troops, Whitebeard pirates are a formidable group that can take care of threats and protect the their king from being taken so early in the game!
Finally, to explain the isolated panels to the super slow among the fandom...
>What are you doing? Are you really going to fight?
What Doflamingo makes clear in this statement is that the Warlords do NOT intend to do what they are summoned to do? Fight for real.
They showed up to keep their benefits but that is all, they never intended to put their lives at stake for the sake of the World Government.
>I just want to measure the true distance between that man and us.
What Mihawk makes clear in his line is that he wants to test if the distance is really that small that Whitebeard can be taken out.
It was always about the physical distance between that man(Whitebeard) and us(Warlords, Marineford's front lines).
The copium gang always turned this into >strength difference between that man and me.
Mihawk never said that.
It was always nothing more and nothing less than a matter of reading comprehension.
Finally, after all these years, now you know, that you have been huffing copium the entire time, whether you were aware of it or not.
The only question that remains is - Will you continue to take the L due to this copium or you will continue to cope?
