Mihawk's Bounty is purely based on Combat Reputation.
It mentions following things:
-Former Warlord
-Sword Skills Greater than Shanks
-Strongest Swordsman in the World
No Mention of Cross Guild
No Mention of Hunting Marines
Just his combat reputation alone makes his Bounty above two current Emperors.
If we take Mihawk’s baseline — 3.59B as a lone wanderer with zero territory, crew, or political power — and then layer on the “Yonko captain” multiplier the WG clearly applies, plus six years of active Yonko activity, the math gets wild.
Let’s break it down:
- Baseline (current bounty): 3.59B – earned purely off combat reputation.
- Yonko captain multiplier: Compare Marco (1.374B as Whitebeard’s right hand) vs Blackbeard (2.247B → 3.996B as Yonko) — captains generally see ~+60–100% bounty boost just for being the figurehead. That alone would push Mihawk to ~5.7B–7.1B.
- Territory & crew threat bonus: Yonko like Kaido & Big Mom had massive territory and armies, adding another ~0.5B–1B over their raw strength.
- Political weight & provocation factor: Actively challenging the World Government, defeating other big names, and shaking up the balance can tack on another ~0.5B–1B.
If Mihawk had taken the Yonko title and operated for 6 years, realistically his bounty would sit between 6.5B and 8B, potentially surpassing all Roger-era legends.
That’s without even touching a Devil Fruit — which makes it even scarier from the Government’s perspective.

Now that Daddy of @Erkan12 's Daddy is Confirmed a Unique Swordsman Aka Swordsman Aka Swordsman not strong enough to be Strongest Swordsman in the World and his Unique Swordsmanship is AdvCoC Shockwaving, Greater Sword Skill that Shanks means greater AdvCoC than Shanks as well.
So it makes sense why Mihawk's Swordsmanship alone is worth more than being an Emperor.
