Powers & Abilities The one who wifi diffed Greenshoes should be Mihawk

#1
This is not a Mihawk slander thread.

After reading @ZenZu 's post yesterday, about how Oda treats post timeskip Shanks and Mihawk which are supposed to be rival, very differently.
Shanks stopping the war gave gave Shanks enough hype from casuals to last a lifetime, then he makes an Admiral twerk, then he 0.5 shotts Big Mom slayer Kidd.
Shanks is always pushing boundaries redefining power levels while Mihawk is hard to even pick out from Warlords most the time. MF was bad enough but the trend only continued post timeskip, where Mihawk has equal partnership with Crocodile, working under a clown, while Shanks is busy making an Admiral twerk and 0.5 shotting someone who put another Yonkou in the dirt. Oda has no intention of making Mihawk stronger than Shanks, none at all.
I began to think, it is only fair if we give a bit of Shanks' feats to Mihawk whose feats really lagging behind compared to Shanks. And the most making sense feat that can be given to Mihawk is wifi diffing Greenshoes. Reasonings:
1. Mihawk was stripped from Shichibukai status. Honestly I don't remember the exact timeline, which one happened first: disbanding of Shichibukai or Shanks wifi diffing Greenshoes. But you get the picture. Disbanding the Shichibukai should make both parties have consequence. It is not one sided consequence where Shichibukai don't get Marine immunity anymore. But disbanding the shichibukai will also mean: taking off the leash from these powerful beasts.
Fujitora disbanding Shichibukai only to make it backfire to the Navy, the now free Shichibukai begins to retaliate.

2. Mihawk was known as Marine Hunter. Only makes sense that as soon as the leash is gone, he comes back hunting the Navy again, and Greenshoes happens to be the unlucky victim.
He can still join Buggy, but on his way to Buggy's location, he accidentally sensed Greenshoes and scared him.

3. "But but Shanks got his whole crew, that what makes Greenshoes scared. Mihawk is alone so he is not strong enough to scare Greenshoes".
Yeah no, the excuse won't work. While Mihawk is alone, there are whole Luffy and Wano alliance inside Wano. Greenshoes might retreat because he would get sandwiched soon. He would retreat before he lost his exit path.

One-shotting-Kidd feat is less believable for Mihawk, because Kidd was attacking Elbaf and Mihawk has no business protecting it.

The outcome of this scenario will also make the whole Country of Swordsmen: Wano citizens acknowledge the World Strongest Swordsman. "He is the World Strongest Swordsman who casually keep an Admiral away from this land, like how Ryuma protected us from the government".

Thought? @Gol D. Roger @Monster Zoro's Tesla Supplier @nik87 @ShishioIsBack @GalaxyLevelShanks @MonsterKaido @Sentinel @Black etc.

I don't want Mihawk to be treated like Shanks.
I am fine with Mihawk being a zero hype individual until his 5 minutes come for the biggest "oh shit" effect.
Also, Mihawk is fundamentally different from Shanks, he is not a great pirate, in fact, he might be the worst pirate we ever saw and that is a good thing.
However, once Mihawk's time comes, there should be quite some compensation for the lack of hype so far, a powerful figure should end up his victim.

Why are People expecting to see anything from Mihawk?
We haven't arrived yet in any Arc where Mihawk is One of it's Main Cast, He is basically a Non-Introduced Character, same as Dragon,
Oda doesn't need to show anything from him, nor Hype anything about him until his Time comes, as simple as that,

Comparing to Shanks is a Huge Mistake, because Shanks is the Exception to that Rule, the entire Story is his Arc,
This is why Oda will always keep giving him Moments like those regardless of what Arc it is,

Asking for Oda to show anything from Mihawk & Dragon, is like asking him to show Non-Introduced Characters before their Arc Arrives, it's like asking for Oda to keep Hyping Loki before Elbaph Arc, it's both unnecessary & irrelevant, Oda didn't even bother to Hype his Design before his Time came,

When We finally reach an Arc where Mihawk is clearly part of it's Story, then you can ask for Feats & Achievements from him.
Don't expect Oda to treat anyone like Shanks, who's basically Non-SH MC of this entire Story.

Denial :suresure:

Anyway Dragon doesn't have anti feat apart from RA losing 1 territory to the final villain. While Mihawk's entire Marineford perfomance became a meme.

Mihawk's character is too far gone regardless of his PL

To rescue Mihawk's character and make him hyped as the WSS he should be... you'd have to change so many things and at that point, it's not even Mihawk anymore. It's just a completely different character of what Mihawk could have been but isn't anywhere close to it

Read the thread, genius

He scared Greenshoes not to help scabbards or Luffy, he did it because he is no longer shichibukai.
I did, and your post has suggestions of Mihawk doing shit he otherwise wouldn’t, i.e. inserting himself in situations he doesn’t need to be in.

Logically speaking, if Mihawk accepted Warlord status for peace and quiet, why would losing that status mean he’d go out of his way to seek carnage?

Why would he hunt Marines? Why would he protect Wano? Is it even his style to announce his presence like that?

Those are actions that seem incompatible Mihawk as presently constituted.

You are right, Sundown. :BigW:

The problem isn't that we have seen nothing from Mihawk but the fact we did. It's not like with Dragon, where we literally never saw him engage in battle. Oda decided to specifically insert Mihawk into the action in Marineford. He was the one proactively launching an attack at Whitebeard, with Doflamingo questioning whether Mihawk is really gonna fight (rather than holding back), Mihawk was the one wanting to test Luffy's fate, only for Marco being confident sending Vista solo to stop him, Vista being casual and smiling while doing so and saying that the postponement Mihawk offered would benefit both of them. As @ZenZu pointed out, Mihawk wasn't even singled out from the other warlords, and is now known as being partners with Crocodile hiding behind a clown on "empty bluffs island".

That's something you can blame Oda for. For a character that is supposed to be stronger than Shanks, Primebeard and Roger, the portrayal is horrendous.

Mihawk is above Rox D. Xebec level

Nah, let Shanks Wi-Fi diff an Admiral. It's better to give Kid to Mihawk (basically the same setup - Kid wants to take the Yonko title from Buggy, charges his cannon to annihilate Buggy's forces, and Mihawk saves the day)
