How are people still struggling to understand the scene?

No it wasn't about Mihawk talking about the gap between them in a 1v1 combat situation (though you can say it was like a double entendre this isn't what he meant directly), no it wasn't Mihawk using his slash to measure how many meters away WB was standing (again same thing), and it sure as hell was not Mihawk sensing weakness in Whitebeard (this is the single dumbest interpretation of them all).

He was talking about how even though Whitebeard looks wide open to everyone, standing within reach of the Warlords, the "true distance" is far greater, because the distance they see is just an illusion.

Whitebeard has heavy hitters you have to go through to get to him. So the true distance between the Warlords and Whitebeard was a lot greater than it looked, Mihawk got his answer when Jozu stepped in without Whitebeard moving a muscle. To get through WB you would have to get through his commanders. It wasn't going to be as easy as the literal distance implied, hence true distance.

Marco literally spelled it out when Kizaru tried the same thing right after Mihawk, "you can't take our King this early in the game"

That entire chapter revolved around the commanders. This statement was about the commanders. This is what it means to be a Yonkou.

He talking about how even though Whitebeard looks like wide open to everyone, standing within reach of the Warlords, the "true distance" is far greater, because the distance they see is just an illusion.
I am impressed...

The only issue is how to explain it to others in simpler matters than I already did.
Seems like an impossible task. Or simply pointless due to Agendas>Facts...

:milaugh:
Dude,
Mihawk wasn't thinking about Jozu or Marco
He was talking about the gap between WB and them
The gap in strength

You guys are just salty

Mihawk has already admitted becoming PK is much harder and bigger goal than being WSS
His statement at Marineford only goes with his character
He sees himself below PK, WSP, WSM

This is the simplest way in one-two sentence(s) to explain it.

"To get to Whitebeard you would have to get through his commanders. It wasn't going to be as easy as the literal distance implied, hence true distance."

No,
You guys are just so hellbent to believe the nonsense you believe

Oda never said it was about "will his men protect him"

Funny how you create some contexts that Mihawk didn't think about yet will go on saying some other statements which actually has context doesn't matter as long as your agenda fits

He stopped attacking because he realised he's a weakling whose attacks won't even reach WB

Why would Mihawk give a fuck about commanders? The chapter aim was to hype up the commanders but both Mihawk and Kizaru were solely focused on WB. Nothing implies Mihawk had anyone but WB in mind when he made that statement
 
:suresure:
"Trus distance is about his men protecting him"
The hell is this nonsense

First it was about distance in metres
Then mihawk fans around the world started saying it's about "his men coming to his defense"

:milaugh:
Oda keeps telling you that Mihawk hides behind Buggy to be safe and at peace
Oda tells you that a Yonko is someone who can easily have Mihawk and Croco under his power and control ...that's how Buggy became one

But you keep thinking this man meant "I wanna see if Jozu can protect WB"

Because he completely fucked off and never bothered again once Jozu blocked his slash.

Unless you think Jozu is too big of an obstacle for Mihawk (Ndule answer), then he would have accomplished nothing in measuring the “true distance” between himself and Whitebeard if he meant it in a pure 1v1 powerscaling context
 


Mihawk meant being PK = fighting Emperors 1 by 1.

Mihawk admitted being PK = more difficult than surpassing him.

Surpassing Mihawk isn't equal to being on PK level.

PK level > Surpassing Mihawk's level / Emperor level > Mihawk's level.


Sandman > official translator now? :suresure:

There is difference
Stephen Paul is basically saying it’s up to the reader to decide if it’s strength or not while sandman is saying it has nothing to do with strength.


But then who is really better sandman or stephen paul when it comes to translations ? The answer is easy
Sandman himself said his writing and reading Japanese is far superior than the average Japanese.

how I mean how many times sandman corrected Viz/Stephen Paul translation ?
1)
2)


that’s just 2 because I couldn’t be asked looking for more but the Viz/stephan Paul translation changed their translation after sandman told them it’s wrong:


he corrected The official translation many times and they changed their translation after sandman told them it’s wrong

so yes sandman words >the official
 
:willight:

This is just like when people wanna say "GB was talking about political reasons or Kaido's crew" when he just trashed Calamities and said they're not worth his time.

:willight:unless Mihawk said "let's see if his men can protect him" before attacking
Which he never did even once !

:willight:
Yeah that's because he's weak

Just like he stopped chasing Luffy after Crocodile stopped him and told him to buck off
Does it mean he was thinking about Crocodile saving Luffy ?

This is such a rare L take bro, the commanders are not at all in his mind. He was curious to see WB’s capabilities in the flesh and the servants didn’t even let him which makes the readers wonder just how much more of a threat WB actually is — a typical move by Oda. He does this scene all the time with Zoro and Luffy.
”Between us and that man”
I always read us as arbitrary, it’s basically Mihawk grouping himself with the rest and alienating WB — he is superior to the rest.

It was just to hype up the commanders as an introduction and more importantly hype up WB, the commanders no sold Mihawk and Kizaru’s attacks and WB didn’t even move a centimeter because he knew he was in no danger. Kind of like how Zoro tells opponents that they have to get past him
before getting to Luffy.

All of it is dramatic buildup for WB.
The commanders served as the strip tease before WB himself makes a move, and when he did… it was the showstopper. You got Sengoku trembling in his pants calling him the world destroyer and could beat the marines.

That really depends on what translation you use so its easy to see why everyone is confused. Also regular reader has no idea which translation is actually the most accurate.


In no way above scan is meant to see how well protected Whitebeard is by his commanders . Thats why I hate debating this nonsense. All those translators are english guys translating from Japanese instead of japanese guy translating it to english to keep the most original meaning.

But this is pointless Mihawk inferiority to WHitebeard was already established by WB official titles.

Well, a bunch of mfs believe it's about strength, he literally said " that man " and " us ".

They legit think :
Old Whitebeard > 7 Warlords
:risiflip:
 
Oda says via Law that "if Buggy can have Mihawk under him then he's worthy to be yonko"
Marines say Buggy is above Mihawk

Being a Yonko is to be above Mihawk/Warlords /YCS and even Admirals (Kuzan is under Teach )

Mihawk said his wss path isn't as hard as PK path.
Mihawk admits inferiority to sickbeard

Everything points at one thing : Mihawk is below Yonko !

Idc enough about cartoon characters that aren't real, to lie on them, pretend the ink blot that is Mihawk was Big Mom if it makes you happier.

Reread what I wrote. You didn't understand it at all.

Mihawk talked about the true distance between Whitebeard and the Warlords as a whole, because the literal distance was not reflective of the true distance between them. Whitebeard looked like he was within reach for not only the Warlords, but the entire World Government. Emphasis on looked, this was just an illusion, even an Admiral tried attacking WB, an Admiral who is the fastest in the world mind you, and he could not reach Whitebeard, so the illusion was broken by Marco and Jozu. The answer was the true distance between Whitebeard and the Marines/Warlords was a lot further than it looked.

This isn't even up for debate, Mihawk got his answer right away, on the true distance between them. Whitebeard did not move a muscle and Mihawk's attack could not even reach him, you can take this as a 1v1 combat situation in a way, since this is what comes with Yonkou status and Whitebeard earned that status through his strength, but that is secondary to what the purpose of that entire scene was.

I always stress this, this is what being an Emperor is about. And Oda does a great job of showing it here. Taking this any other way is straight up disrespectful to that entire chapter.

Oda didn't say that
1) it doesn’t matter if he is mihawk fanboy
He is by far the most credible when it comes to translation
2)he said it himself mihawk above roger it’s his opinion not from oda so idk why u tryna downplay sandman
