What? MIhawk was literally the only character in the series who made Luffy genuinely shit his pants, he was too scared to even attack Mihawk.
While Luffy was running in G2, Mihawk in the crowd of 1000s casually blitzed him.
When Luffy was bout to use G2 Bazooka, Mihawk woulda blitzed and cut his arm off.
After that point Luffy literally gave up on fighting Mihawk, he made a decision that Mihawk is too strong to even engage.
Same Luffy after getting punked out by Mihawk stands up to 3 admirals with a tree
so much for "running away" from admirals lmao
