Valid argument? I'm just stating facts. It was disrespectful to a yonko, that Mihawk called him a has been and if ur serious I would whoop that ass too. Lol that was the energy in the beginning... I call it disrespectful u call it what u want.. Shanks is not dumb, and his crew isn't either. They all seem smart; if they decided to attack, Mihawk will take bodies. Mihawk can judge a person strength accurately, and isn't a brute so words can sway him. Shanks knows this, but idk if they're friends, that's headcanon.
