Character Discussion Mihawk wanted to be the Pirate King but gave up on his dream

Kinda puts Mihawk's line back at Baratie in a different light

His dream was to have on panel feats, but Eiichiro D Oda broke him

 

[SuperWeeble]

All pirates of this generation wanted to be Pirate King at one point, that's how much effect Roger had with his final words.
But it takes more than just strength to become Pirate King, which is why people like Kaido and Big Mom could never have done it despite being monsters.

Mihawk was a renowned pirate before Roger's last words. Not to say that invalidates the possibility, but didn't set sail after that dream, and as far as we know he never had a crew, so he's barely even a pirate.

I agree tho

When it comes to buggy, crocodile, and the rest of the crew them all previously having dreams of the one piece and giving up on it are pretty obvious
Us seeing this chapter that the opportunity buggy was given reignited his drive and ambition as a true pirate. Him by the end of it helping bring back the wholes crew passion

Crocodile also had dreams of finding the one piece as we saw in the baroque works cover story

The only current odd one out being mihawk so far but what if like the rest of them he also once shared that ambition. Hes at the very least like the rest of them going to take part in it now cause it isn't like he's just going to leave cross guild now.
If he was once after the one piece just the rest of them what do you think killed his ambition and made him stop?


Gecko moria joining would also be even more fitting because he's another character that was after the one piece but gave up. Maybe cross guild will be made up of members that previously gave up on their dreams of finding the one piece with buggy unironically bringing that passion back

 

[Jailer]

Shanks made him gave up on that dream, or lost his crew at some point. But maybe he gets that fire now with Buggy and Crocodile

 

[Apollo]

Maybe, many younger pirates were present at Roger's execution and people like Crocodile and Doffy dream of being PK.

Mihawk could have been inspired, but I doubt it lasted that long. Much like how Crocodile's goal right now is to create his Utopia.

 

[ZippySpace]

Roger was no doubt considered one of, if not the strongest swordsman of his time and Mihawk was there at his execution. I don’t think Mihawk necessarily wanted to be Pirate King due to the baggage that came with it but he did pursue a similar path to Roger to become the WSS and regularly clashed with Roger’s adopted son, Shanks, as his biggest rival.

Yep, it was revealed decades ago in one of the databooks

He wasn't strong enough to do it, which is why he said becoming the PK > surpassing himself

That makes me reconsider what Mihawk said at Marineford

Mihawk has all the strength someone could ask for, but he lacks the other qualities that you need to become the pirate king. Would explain why he thinks Luffy's ability to make allies is so dangerous

 

[Rukusho]

I'm taking this for any peon spitting at Mihawk.

 

[Kishido]

Does that mean he won't have CoC.



Because as far as I know certain people spam pics about Baratie or gag fishmen island that if you throw away your ambition you won't have CoC

That's not Mihawk and Crocodile talking. That's Buggy talking and telling his story of how him and Shanks didn't go to Laugh Take.

He didn't say that at all. He was telling Luffy it is more troublesome because you can become PK yourself. That's what some of you guys completely fell to understand. Roger begged WB for Oden to help him become PK. You can't do it with strength alone.

Cope dude, we know Mifraud wanted to be PK but couldn't achieve it, logically it's because he wasn't strong enough.

 

[NAMELESS]

Mihawk never wanted to become PK,its Crocodile that has such a dream.

He surely wanted to

His personal goal was to be WSS and his piracy goal was PK
Similar to every pirate having 2 dreams ; BM wants an utopia while going for one piece
