If that was meant to be what's inferred, he would have said, "I just want the freedom to do whatever I want." If you take a closer look at Mihawk's character, his situation is the personification of living peacefully. He spent his time on a secluded Island, planting crops and drinking, without...

What does being lonely at the top, have to do with wanting to live in peace? And there is plenty of strong people he could fight if he really wanted to. They might not be Swordsmen, but if it's conflict he seeks, there is no shortage of candidates. He wants a good sword fight. Not just a...

Not really. The man took up farming with monkeys on a secluded Island. His statement of wanting to live peacefully puts that into perspective.

The thing is, is that finding a worthy opponent in Zoro, doesn't offset his desire to wanting to live peacefully. You can want to have a great challenge as the strongest. Mihawk, however no longer seems to want constant conflict, which is the compete opposite of how he used to be, as the...

That is just what is gathered from the information that was readily available from the manga. He was hunting Pirates because he was bored. That moreso just seems like he was just filling his quota as a Shichibukai at this point because now we have a statement from the man himself. He WANTS...

Now I'm really curious as the what happened to Mihawk to cause him to shift from wanting to fight all the strongest people, and being known as the Marine hunter, to just wanting to live peacefully. It wouldn't make sense that it's because he reached the top, because those who typically do...

You do realize Luffy beat a character worth 4.6 billion, and only increased to 3 billion, right?

How does defeating King and Queen, (both over 1.3 billion berries) and becoming Top Fighters in a Yonko Crew only get Zoro and Sanji just barely above a billion berries? You do know Buggys last bounty was only 15 million berries, right? Dude has the highest bounty increase in the whole story...

Even funner fact. The Shank is the part of a ring that holds the jewel, or in English slang, the "rock".... Rocks. D Shanks confirmed.

No the ambiguity comes from the fact that Oda singled out Swordsmanship. When something should be so cut and dry as Mihawk = WSS Shanks =Swordsman Therefore Mihawk > Shanks Then there is zero reason to make it ambiguous by saying "Mihawk has better Swordsmanship", instead of flat out...

I understand it completely. Hence the topic of discussion, which has nothing to do with the validity of the title. It's about the ambiguous nature of the dialogue.

Not when something should be that cut and dry. Mihawk is the WSS. Shanks is a Swordsman. Mihawk is stronger. Where is the need for ambiguity here?

And therein lies the conundrum. Oda wants us to know that Mihawk is stronger than Shanks while at the same time, doesn't want to say it.... Lol... Sorry, that just doesn't make sense....

Then there is no need to explicitly bring up Swordsmanship.

I'm not contesting the authenticity of his title though.

He doesn't make them 100 percent direct, but if you read the dialogue of Branew, he set Shanks as the Gold standard. The misconception is that "Buggy Rivals Shanks" Then he turns around and says "Mihawks Swordsmanship surpasses Shanks swordsmanship." One is thought to rival Shanks, the...

The issue here is that Oda could have easily said "his strength surpasses that of Red Haired Shanks." There is absolutely nothing stopping Oda from writing that, if that is the message he wants to convey. Like what author in there right mind would sit down and think to themselves "I am going...

:kuzanshut:

Well, it was heavily implied during Alabasta that Crocodile is already awakened, so perhaps during the Timeskip he acquired haki, and actually became much stronger. That's what I am hoping, as I always thought he had massive potential as a character.

Honestly, this whole thing is just weird. Buggy over 3.1, Crocodile at 1.9, higher than every Yonko commander shown thus far... Also, I'm surprised nobody called me out on my troll by saying King and Queen were worth over 3 billion, lol
