What's stopping Oda to put the whole world at stake along with his pride and how/why would it make the fight worse?
Because the fight is about being the best, surpassing oneself and achieving perfection.
I don't want the achievement of Zoro's dream to be corrupted by other concerns. It was not what Zoro's first battle with Mihawk was about, I don't want it to be what his second battle with Mihawk is about.
I
really don't want to read the kind of fight you're prescribing.
Nah, it doesn't. It would actually make the fight even more emotionally engaging, that is if Zoro has to kill him.
No, it makes the fight not about accomplishing Zoro's dream. Adding such stakes dilute the fight. Now Zoro isn't fighting for his ambition. It would make Zoro vs Mihawk not about:
- Becoming the best
- Achieving greatness
- Fulfilling Zoro's promise to Mihawk
- Fulfilling Zoro's promise to Kuina
It dilutes Zoro's original motivation for the fight.
As for it being emotionally engaging if Zoro needs to kill Mihawk, I would just feel cheated of the duel I was expecting.
You're also overstating Zoro's emotional attachment to Mihawk. He's never called him "master", and he still views Mihawk as someone he must surpass.
Why does the whole reason for the duel have to be him trynna beat Mihawk to become the WSS?
Because that's Zoro's dream. Almost every other action Zoro has done is for Luffy, I don't want beating Mihawk to be for Luffy as well.
Every time he fights strong opponents, it is to be one step ahead in achieving his goal but he mainly does that to save countries.
No, he's trying to help Luffy most of the time. He's not really consciously pushing towards his dream.
Zoro won't kill him as things stand now. He has no reason to. He just wants to beat him to become the WSS, that's all. How is giving him a solid reason to kill Mihawk bad writing? The things going on with Imu and Shanks etc might just actually do that.
Zoro was never going to kill Mihawk in the first place? Why do you want him to kill Mihawk? Mihawk didn't kill Shanks to become the WSS, not did he kill most of the swordsmen who challenged him.
You come across as wanting a particular type of fight without any care for what it means for the characters involved or proper appreciation for them.
Mihawk is not a villain and I don't want him to be made one to satisfy your idea of a cool fight.
