Speculations Did Mihawk and Kuma have a Pirate Crew?

[X18999]

I always theorised that Mihawk was a part of some crew when he was young and went solo when they were destroyed, disbanded, or he simply outgrew them.

Wasn't it stated that Kuma was a king before he became a revo??

As for his epithet, I believe he might've been given the "tyrant" name similar to how Robin got her "demon child" epithet... as in, marines killing his kingdom and the WG twisting their truth, publicly accusing Kuma for these actions; the marines destroying his kingdom could be related to the CD's... maybe Kuma forbid a CD from entering his kingdom, or maybe he refused to submit to an order by the CD's that was too horrible.

That might've been the trigger that connected him to the revos, and why he joined them; he witnessed a horrible injustice, committed by the celestial dragons... but knowing Kuma was incredibly kind, it's likely that he witnessed his own people being murdered in response to him defying a horrible order from the CD's.

This is all just speculation though...
But as for him having a pirate crew, I'm pretty certain he doesn't.

Its not speculation, it was pretty much implied.
Kumas kingdom did not follow the WG, they made an example of him as consequence, probably killed a lot of people and made him the perpetrator.
Sabo mentioned how kind Kuma actually is.

Either Kuma had a pirate crew that went the way of the Sun Pirates once he joined the Revolutionary Army or he's posing as a pirate captain to infiltrate the WG.

Pretty sure that Mihawk has been a lone wolf his entire life. I don't give any vibes from him that would imply he ever had a crew or an interest in gaining a crew.

He must have been a pirate. That probably granted him a name. Same goes with Hawkeye.

I think his Vivre Card confirmed he had no crew, but does that stop him from being a member of one?
