People Hyped mihawk too much like he is the pinnacle of strength, when it's clear he is just warlord level guy comprrable to guys like croc. just because this man holds the strongest swordsman tittle it doesn't mean he is one of the strongest, onepiece manga isn't all about swords. i would probably get their point if onepiece was like that of samurai x, or baki the grappler, the strongest swordsman, grappler. etc/ those are straightforward manga.
Also, most fanboys here have low comprehension, they always take an info out of context, For example the Mihawk want zoro to surpass Shanks his rival, taken out of context, because what mihawk really mean is Zoro surpassing shanks the rival, the one he fought pre timeskip. a non yonko one. because fraud hawk never fought the yonko shanks, he refuse. but you know, people are so dumb you can't reason with them.
