Mihawk demonstrates a forward-thinking, pro-feminist attitude that puts Blackbeard’s to shame:
1. Mihawk cooks more meals than Perona, showing that he does not believe that a woman’s place is in the kitchen, but instead that Perona should be finding her dreams. Blackbeard thinks women should be in chains unless they do sexual favors for him.
2. Mihawk lets Perona live in his house rent free, while Blackbeard only lets women be in his crew if he can derive sexual value from them.
3. When Perona is ready to go free and find her own dreams, Mihawk is honestly incredibly happy to see her begin her search for self-fulfillment. Blackbeard thinks a woman’s place is drunk in his lap.
