Yes in reality it was crocodiles idea to make cross guild and ask mihawk to join.The world government doesn't know that. Just like the world government doesn't realize buggy is fodder
If the wg realized
- Buggy himself isn't an actual serious threat or powerhouse
- Its actually crocodiles organization
- And mihawk is just a member of it
They wouldn't be recognized as a yonko level group
If the world government believed mihawk was the leader, teamed up with crocodile, with buggys fodder crew with the strongest member maxing out below hajrudin level
They also wouldn't be considered a yonko level group
Buggy is the one and only reason they are considered one due to the world government thinking he's a way bigger deal than he is in reality
In reality we know cross guild doesn't compare at all to any yonko crew. With even the current strawhats washing them
