The fact that no mention or implication of Mihawk ever visiting Wano in any official sources. Anything outside of that if meer theory crafting.
True
Same way he gets from Paradise to the New World. It's not a fortress, and getting in shouldn't be a challenge for someone like Mihawk.
The whole story of One Piece is having a "Crew" who can do everything for their Captain to get them from Point A to Point B. So its unfair of us thinking that Mihawk can make it anywhere he wants to. There is a high chance that Mihawk's story a loner is showing us what a guy like Shanks is without a crew. If Mihawk can navigate the weather and go everywhere he wants easily then he is above Roger who is the only one who sailed around the globe in his era.
Guys like Aokiji and Greenbull have abilities that makes it easier for them to go around. But Mihawk? And lets not forget that his status as Warlord can make his journey easy.
Same way how other characters, including Ace himself has. If he can go around the world without getting lost by himself, then finding Wano should be a cakewalk.
Read the above and add that ACE had a full crew. It shouldn't be a cakewalk for a loner. Unless you think Mihawk = all the SH in one package...
Well Kaido also has a whole pirate crew behind him. There's no telling what kind of support this hypothetical top tier samurai would have to aid him overthrowing Kaido. Regardless Akainu deemed the samurai themselves as enough of a deterrent to not invade the island, so as far as the outside world was concerned the samurai were still strong in their own right.
True But to answer you. We have to take into factors all of the above 1st. Then we have to think of this point. If Kaido is ruling Wano then The Samurai are:-
- dead (waste of time)
- under his rule (unworthy weak)
- an ally (risk fighting the beast pirates)
So is it safe to take every risk possible just to find out that there is no one to fight or if there is someone to fight you might anger the beast pirates and have 0 chance of escaping?
Now this is a good question. Maybe this alone held in back from doing so, but as we know there is little chance of bring found out by the top echelon of the Beast Pirates if you don't do stupid shit within the borders of Wano. How else can you explain Zoro not being found out until he got falsely sentenced as a murderer? He's been there for a while now, yet it took an incident for Zoro to be found out. If Mihawk tried, he could of handled his business in Wano and jumped ship.
True but we need to read the above 1st. Zoro and the others had Kinemon and Law's submarine to get to a specific spot on Wano undetected. Now lets take others who made it to Wano and compare:-
- WB was detected right away by the Samurai.
- Ace was detected by Villagers not by an authority party
- Moria was probably detected by Kaido's men. "unsure"
- Roger's Crew and Oden unconfirmed but there is a big chance that they were detected but Kaido didn't want to risk fighting them.
- Luffy was detected right away by Kaido's men. "By chance"
- Big Mom Pirates alongside Big Mom were detected outside of Wano Borders by Kaido's men.
- Big Mom was detected by Chopper not by an authority party.
So the chances of Mihawk being detected outside of Wano and at shore is likely 50% ? Now inside of Wano as we have seen Kaido's men are everywhere in the country except poor spots. Mihawk will probably go to where most people are to ask around. Zoro was a 320mill guy and Mihawk is a whole Warlord who is known worldwide as WSS. He will be found out by Kaido's men easily. IF he was disguising himself tho maybe he can sneak around.
I'd say Mihawk's presense alone should of shook the strong samurai of Wano, or had them on notice of his existence, similar to how Zoro had a weary feeling of Fuji despite never knowing of his existence as an Admiral beforehand. So same should go for Mihawk, even if he did go undercover, and surely such an experience would be brought up in the story at some point.
Yes pretty valid point but by whom? There is no strong Samurai.. except Denjiro in the Capital and likely where Mihawk would go undercover or not. Why would anyone bring that up? in what context would for example Denjiro would bring up:-
- I had felt a strong presence once 5 - 15 years ago But i don't know who what and why..
So its safe to assume that IF Mihawk came to Wano he did nothing. But its highly likely that he couldn't or didn't want to go to Wano for various reasons like we mentioned above.
So is Mihawk "Him" the ultimate character who can sail and has surpassed every crew by being the ultimate 1 man sailor strongest swordsman navigator?
Or a Strong Pirate who is held back by limitations such as not having a Crew like Luffy's/Shanks/Roger etc to do whatever he wants to?
Every Warlord has a story... Just look at Mihawk in Marineford. He was denied a clean shot at WB and at Luffy... This alone explains alot.
