So since we found out Shanks was a Celestial Dragon a couple years ago, some fans have argued that Mihawk could also be a former CD for the sake of a parallel. The argument is basically based on the way he conducts himself, being very elitist and aristocratic in his demeanor and appearance. The guy even lives in a castle.
And Mihawk doesn't really seem like a pirate in like....anything really. He doesn't have a crew, a flag, nor does he show any interest in the pirate lifestyle of adventure and treasure like the OP.
Some people also argue that Mihawk could be a member of the Nerona family due to his eyes
Personally, I don't really agree with this theory because I can't think of a reason why Mihawk would give up his status tbh. While with Shanks we know that he gave up his status as part of hipster phase
Nah but seriously, Shanks decided to not live among CD's because he was too attached to the lower world and the people in it. Unless Mihawk really cares about the monkeys who live on his island, I doubt he has any close bonds. You could maybe argue that he might have moral issues with it, but he's currently working with a guy who got out of jail for trying to kill 1 million people with a bomb after starting a brutal civil war lol. It seems like the guy just wants a peaceful life.
There is of course the possibility of Mihawk having a similar situation to Doffy where his parents gave up their status, but that would just be reusing a plotline.
Personally, I think Mihawk should be from a royal family of a country that was destroyed. This could explain why he's alone, isn't like any other pirate,doesn't trust people,and and has interest in Crocodiles "Operation Utopia"
so, what is the consensus on the forum about Mihawks backstory? Should he be related to the CD's or something else?
