Theory Bogard has ties to Mihawk

#1
Bogard is Garp’s right hand man. He fought in god valley and likely took on the Roger pirates in Garp’s subsequent encounters with them. Logic would suggest that he is a strong marine.

Mihawk was betrayed by the navy and became a marine hunter. Mihawk seemingly also only wishes to fight swordsmen, as evident by his rivalry with Shanks and his disinterest in the other yonko.

So far, Bogard has only been a background character without even receiving a proper introduction in the manga. Yet, given Mihawk’s backstory, I wonder if it’s possible that Oda could officially introduce bogard by having him tie into Mihawk’s story.

I think Bogard is an old rival of Mihawk’s. I think he was the strongest swordsman in the marines before Fujitora joined. I think Oda could hype up Bogard by having him be ACoC user, one of only 3 amongst the old marines(the others being Garp and Sengoku). Then show how Mihawk took him down in order to get his Shicibukai status.

If Mihawk's backstory were tied to that of a secondary leftover like Bogard, now that would really sour Mihawk's character for me.
