Shanks got confirmed as a Figarland a while back. And Figarland seems to be the strongest CD family for now with Garling, Shamrock and Shanks. There have been many theories of Mihawk being a CD too or descendent of or related to Imu.
Now I am not a fan of Mihawk being a special kid, special lineage, I would have preferred him to be like Ryuma and starting his line or making his bloodline famous. Unfortunately Mihawks whole persona is of nobility/high class. And unless he is overcompensating for his poor and poverty stricken past it seems very likely that Mihawk is indeed from a noble family.
So what are the chances that Shanks and Mihawk are both CDs, one from Figarland family and one from Nerona family but they both left or got separated but somehow they ended up as rivals nonetheless and only learned about the truth of the past when they met.
