Yes, Imu doesn't have an oversight over everything that happens on the planet, he isn't omniscient and omnipresent, but you would think Mihawk roaming the seas for decades, having fierce duels with one of the Figarland sons that was renowned in the grandline and being promoted to Shichibukai, having the "black blade" which is held in such high regard, would somehow make Imu even pay attention, but Mihawk is basically a ghost to Imu. It doesn't help that Mihawk looks visibly stressed when Buggy declares they will go for the One Piece, and questions the idea of picking fights with the other Yonko. That's not the aura of an endgame villain. And now we have Gaban saying that Imu's Haki alone is unlike anything he felt in his entire life, including all the big shots at GV.
I don't even see how Mihawk fits in as an endgame villain at this point.
Exactly, Gaban's Comment confirms that the Guest's Haki & Presence is far superior than the Host's,
Just like Hakuba is vastly Superior than Cavendish,
I told you Mihawk We've been seeing since ever is just Cavendish Version of Greatest Swordsman, Imu doesn't see him any different than other Top Tiers, even if He is let's assume slightly stronger than them, but once Real Mihawk emerges similar to Imu just done now, that's when you're free to try & dehype him however you like,
Mihawk isn't someone who wants to conquer the world or even have a Plan for it nor is He a Protector who cares about Family, so ofc He would be annoyed & visibly stressed if you force him to start a War that could take decades (Previous Yonko were Active for like +20 Years), it's just that you as Reader, since it's Endgame, you know that this current Yonko System isn't gonna last for long, but from Character's Perspective, They are signing up for a Conflict that could last until They are 80 & have cancer & then They get killed trying to protect their son lol
And I'm not applying my Logic only on Mihawk, I said the same thing about Imu,
Imu is both Male and Female
The name is combination of Adam and Eve
The one we are seeing is indeed Female Version
But the Scary Looking Male Side will appear later
Who said Im is One Person?
Do you see the date? I said it almost 4 years ago, when We didn't even see Egghead Island yet,
Not only I said that Imu is an Ancient Male Villain inhabiting a Female, but I also said soon people will witness his Scary Monstrous Side (This was before We even saw Levely Flashback)
I keep telling you guys that Ultimate Group are Double-Layered Eyes People
Their Potential is literally "Infinite" & soon you will get explanation why
And Mihawk is Strongest of them all
I didn't just Hype Mihawk, I said that Double-Layered Eyes are "Infinitely" Broken, I even called them Ultimate Group meaning They are what Seraphim wish They were, and I said that Imu is The Devil & even said where his Inspiration comes from,
As for where Next Fight should happen, i believe it's Mary Geoise & Imu is Main Villain (Who represents Devil similar to Mephisto) His Inspiration comes from Sculpture of "Mephistopheles & Margaretta"
Imu is simply Mephisto of One Piece,
Actually, if you go check where Mephisto was also used in Media, you'd find this old Movie and this what the Plot says:
"A breakthrough scientific device will revolutionize the world's energy usage if the kidnapped creator can be found. To rescue her father, Claire Forrest enlists the help of private detective, Lance Reardon. Clues lead them to a remote Pacific isle known only as
Mystery Island, where the two confront sinister and astonishing forces. The descendants of a long-dead pirate, Captain Mephisto are holding the scientist for their own gain. Worst of all, one of the heirs possesses a
Transformation Machine with the impossible ability of changing him into the molecular duplicate of his ancestor, Mephisto"
So I'm not surprised by any of Imu's Lore or Feats or Design ... etc
I simply do not fall victim to recency bias, I just analyse the story as a whole, Imu is current Hype, but Mihawk is still reserved for later,
Just like I was right about Imu's Nature, I trust that Mihawk will end up the same,
