Several detractors of Mihawk insinuate the guy will get killed by this nobody for supposedly lacking feats, how he only has his title etc when literally the same shit applies to Shiliew to an even greater degree. Shiliew literally has NO feats to speak of. He killed some fodder in Impel Down, potentially killed Absalom, and is said to be Magellan lvl.
What the hell am I missing? Is it just that he got on Blackbeards crew? Story logic says he can't be a total bitch since his eventual fight against Zoro needs to be at least semi-interesting, but where does the "he will kill Mihawk" shit come from? Did I miss some SPS where Oda calls him a great swordsman like Mihawk somewhere? Or is it honestly just the sort of bullshit logic some people use where since Mihawk "trained" Zoro they can no longer fight? Because newsflash people, Oda won't write out the fight he set up almost over 1000 chapters ago between Mihawk and Zoro just to instead make him lose off-screen to some no feat bad guy just so the "tension" could be a bit higher.
Zoro never killed any of his swordsmen opponents anyway. All his kills are no-names / off-screened, so why anybody thought his battle with Mihawk would be different even before the time-skip is a mystery to me. Sure they will go all out, and "anything can happen" but let's be fucking real alright? Oda was never killing him either way.
