Character Discussion If Shichibukai doesn't exist

These silhouettes look better than what we actually got.

I think Mihawk was introduced before Oda came up with the idea of the Warlords anyway, so nothing would change. Nobody mentions the Warlords when he appears on Baratie and then it’s only at the end of the arc/start of AP that it gets brought up.

If Warlords system didn't exist then Warlords will simply be just normal pirates.

Mihawk would still be the WSS and will fight Zoro, just not under the WG's order.

Hm the shadows maybe oda wanted to make all of them swordsmen and mihawk the leader as wss

Wouldve been a cool concept of zoro having to beat one by one until he reaches mihawk

We wouldn't have gotten the iconic duo of Bisoromi Bear sama and Tanjihado Lufalamingo if that had happened though.

Nothing would change.

Mihawk was introduced before the Shichibukai were introduced.

He'd likely just be a free roaming pirate like he was in his intro, except without any special treatment from the World Government.

Everytime i see Teach's legs, i go back to this silhouette.

Still WSS as Zoro's goal, Mihawk being part of Warlords is irrelevant as they dont work together.

If Shichibukai didn't exist as originally Oda thought, if there was only Yonko, how would Zolo's opponent could appear?

• A random pirate (Non-Yonko) Mihawk?
• A Yonko underling Mihawk?
• Marine Mihawk? Or a different Marine opponent instead?
• Or Mihawk wouldn't exist? And Oda would create a different character?

How would Oda make Zolo's WGS opponent if Shichibukai didn't exist like they shouldn't originally?

Without the Shichibukai, the balance of power in the One Piece world would shift significantly. The World Government would have to rely more heavily on their Marines to maintain control over the seas, while the pirate crews would have more chances to attack and pillage. The Straw Hat crew and other pirate crews would have to face even greater challenges without the assistance of the Shichibukai. Additionally, the void left by the Shichibukai would give rise to new factions and alliances, leading to a more unpredictable and chaotic world.
