Future Events Could Law be the one who takes out Mihawk?

The only one who can beat me is me
Lmfao I saw this thread coming from you a couple of days ago. You're just desperate to find top tier opponents for Kidd and Law to take out.

Mihawk is the last name you should think of concerning Law. Mihawk and Law have absolutely nothing to do with each other and Law doesn't have an antagonistic relationship with the Strawhats for a Zoro vs Law fight to make sense.

For this to even begin making sense, Law would have to become Teach's underling, but Shiryu already exists for that purpose.
 
Anyone defeating Mihawk will destroy zoro's dream especially a swordsman.

Imagine your ultimate goal being defeated by someone else and you still fight him after, doesn't make sense.

Especially someone like Law.
Zoro’s dream doesn’t work that way.

Luffy’s dream does, because finding one piece is a race to a secret treasure only Roger ever discovered.

But WSSM isn’t like that. All that matters is zoro’s on top by EoS.

Law fights cross guild because they are both major contenders for One Piece. Cross Guild is a yonko crew, Law is a supernova, they’re inherently at odds.

Gandhi Gorosei takes out Law because he’s a D and one of the strongest pirates post elbaf.

Zoro takes out Gandhi because he’s Imu’s strongest subordinate and Zoro always defeats the RHM.

Zoro vs mihawk simply does not align with the format Oda uses to write arcs. Plain and simple.

Zoro always defeats the RHM

You know Mihawk was introduced in the second ever One Piece arc where Zoro fought/defeated the strongest opponent instead of Luffy right? The first being Zoro's introductory arc. Then we have Whiskey Peak and Thriller Bark.

Point being, arcs already exist which break the formula you refer to. This matchup predates the formula you refer to. So why reach for an objectively wild theory instead of acknowledging that maybe Oda would be willing to let his arc structure slide once again for the sake of the second most prominent character in One Piece's lifelong dream.

On Egghead, we're seeing how much Oda enjoys his callbacks to pre-TS with all the Enies Lobby parallels. So isn't it possible (if not likely) that Oda would callback to Mihawk vs Zoro in the Baratie arc, one of Zoro's most defining arcs in the manga? Didn't Oda just put in a flashback from that arc in Zoro vs King? So clearly this arc was vital to Zoro's character in Oda's mind.

Furthermore, can Zoro vs S-Hawk not be inferred as a prelude of what's to come? Didn't Zoro claim Mihawk is less human than S-Hawk during their clash, building hype for the inevitable battle? How very interesting that S-Hawk is the strongest Seraphim feat-wise thus far, and yet Oda matched him up with Zoro and Kaku, giving the (potentially) weaker seraphim to Luffy and Lucci. So, if Oda is willing to break the structure of Luffy always fighting the strongest opponent for the sake of Zoro vs S-Hawk, what on earth do you think he'd be willing to do for Zoro vs Mihawk?

Sorry bro but I really don't see it. If Oda drew Law defeating Mihawk he'd get jumped everytime he left his house. And for what reason? So Law can be relevant? There are plenty of Admirals for him to defeat - hell, give him a Gorosei too. Kid will most certainly not be defeating Shanks either - he's gonna get his ass beat here and Blackbeard will more than likely be the one who takes out Shanks. Not to mention Mihawk isn't the Yonko, Buggy is. And Buggy will actually win, so he doesn't need to be taken out. Law vs Mihawk has no reason to ever happen.

Mihawk v. Zoro was already a thing even before the whole “Zoro fights RHM” theme.

It’s clearly a special matchup that exists outside the usual patterns of the story.

Besides, Mihawk may as well be the “RHM” of Buggy. Oda clearly has plans for the clown. Maybe he’s the final villain of this gag manga :kayneshrug:
If Buggy is the final villain my face is gonna be like dis

:lusalty:
 
No, BM vs Law/Kidd was ALWAYS going to be a toss-up. It was the battle that had the most uncertainty to it exactly because it did NOT involve a SH whose fates are generally predetermined.

But the themes were still very clear. The Top 3 SN in Wano paving the new way for changes in the New World. Them toppling the old era in favor of a new one.

Can Oda take back over a thousand chapters worth of build up? Yeah he can. He can shit on Zoro’s dream to beat the WSS for his title and give more narrative importance to Gandhi. But it’s very unlikely as he keeps following a specific pattern for their dreams and they always remain consistent.
Mihaak vs zoro died during timeskip
