Questions & Mysteries Why did Crocodile and Mihawk team up?

[Buggy D Clown]

They really didn't.







The whole set up and plan came from mihawk and Croc just agreed

They view eachother as having equal authority in the crew/guild. It's not Mihawk nor Crocrodile's individually it's theirs, 2 real captains and 1 fake in a single crew

Sanji & Roo makes complete sense. Not only is Roo the strongest combatant after Ben and Shanks, he is also the cook of the crew and has an interesting relationship with women. He is faaar beyond the level of Nami and there's no coherent similarities between them unless it's forced which is seems like you're doing because you have a headcano.

Mihawk/Zoro - Swordman / Almost nearly equal to Captian
Sanji/Benn - Smokes Cigs / loves woman.
Nami/Roo - Greed (Berries/Food),

Roo has legit no similarities to sanji. And who tf said he the Storngest after benn. We never got any such confirmation.

Cause Mihawk’s started to get excited about the wider world again for the first time in years.

Mihawk before now was bored. He hit the top, lost his rival, had nothing to do so joined the Warlords. The balance of powers also meant to One Piece world was relatively peaceful at the start of the series, and had been for years. In the New World the Yonko were fairly established. The Warlords were all in place. The Marines were led by Sengoku, who basically kept the peace. Mihawk basically sailed around aimlessly and didn’t even bother to show up to Warlord meetings.

Meeting Zoro and Luffy excited him for the first time in years. He agreed to go to Marineford because that was something genuinely interesting. He spent the timeskip training Zoro. Now something really interesting is happening, the Warlords dissolved, while Zoro and Luffy are also hitting top tier strength, so Mihawk finally has something to look forward to.

It’s not mystery what Croc gets, he gets an absurd amount of strength.

Hierarchy wise, it’s Croc making a lot of day to day and general decisions about what Cross Guild will do… but Mihawk will do what Mihawk wants to do. Basically, Mihawk has zero interest in leading or taking charge, we know that. But Mihawk can also end Croc in a second if he wants to, and that gives Mihawk a rather large say when he choses to use it.

The disrust is very interesting. Croc’s been talking about Alabasta about how he doesn’t trust anyone, even his own organisation. Think probably his crew ran away and abandoned him when he tried to fight Whitebeard. Mihawk is a lot more interesting because we know so little about him.

The portrayals of Mihakw have been conflicting not gonna lie, the Marine hunter thing is a good parallel to Zoro,. But it should had been introduced way earlier, as should his " past of being betrayed" they came too late.

Now when the Warlords had been abolished, he looked excited to b hunted, and them he found the marines bothersome?

Oda is not handling Mihawk well.

It makes sense though if they aren't sending any top tiers though, flys are bothersome

 

[JoNdule]

Mihawk was excited to only pack his things and whine about the fleet being huge probome ti handle

Then crying about peaceful life as why he doesn't wanna be Yonko coz he doesn't want people coming for his head

A fraud...

1. Crocodile just allied with someone as strong as his former nightmare called Whitebeard. So he is very powerful.
2. I would say that hunting marines was Mihawk idea as retaliation of being hunted again and have no peace anymore. So having more people hunting marines with him is beneficial for him.
3. They see each other as equal but they both know that Crocodile can't do shot against Mihawk.
4. Crocodile trust has something to do with Ivankov knowing his secret. Mihawk simply by not trusting that Shanks chose over a kid than to remain as his rival since he has no chance against Mihawk using only one arm.

I see things pretty much the opposite way. Marine hunter to make a pirate hunter opposition is pure shit, it's not like Zoro is a sailor and is on the other side of morals.

Now when the Warlords had been abolished, he looked excited to b hunted, and them he found the marines bothersome?

He gets excited and then sees that the navy still has nothing to offer. He doesn't want to defeat thousands of fodder, he wants to defeat one extremely strong guy.

Oda is not handling Mihawk well.

I totally disagree here. A guy who sought ultimate power and now has no one to use it with. He has been waiting for years for someone worthy of fighting that wait translates and affects us in the more than 1000 chapters that have passed and we still haven't seen him even naming a blow. He's basically Netero from One Piece and it only takes one well-written fight, the fight with Zoro, to be one of if not the best characters in history.
