Break Week Why was Mihawk‘s presence in Marineford so lackluster?

Shanks and Mihawk were rivals, indicating comparable growth rate. So how does Shanks suddenly surpass Mihawk upon sacrificing an entire arm.

Don't say that he "went to the new world to compete with the Yonko". Yonko don't usually fight each other. Even something as brief as a clash happens very rarely. Whitebeard said he hasn't seen Shanks for a long time, Big Mom said she hasn't met Kaido for decades. Most of Shanks' growth came from honing his swordsmanship against Mihawk.

Also, Mihawk doesn't hold onto his WSS title. In fact he searches for people that can finally surpass him, even goes as far as to train that swordsman himself. Why would he not face Shanks if Shanks was stronger?
he searches for people stronger than him but never fights wb or kaido but proceed to fight kreig also why is mihawk so adamant on fighting only swordmen.

Shanks was already a big name in the new world
Think of how strong he would have to be for people like wb and Co in the new world to be shocked he lost an arm
Wb said everyone was talking about it.
Would people give a shit if kata / king lost an arm
Kata couldn't even get named on Morgans report
shanks was a big name but not on the level of other yonkos he probably was on the fame level as post wci luffy

He didn't fight kreig
He chased them because they woke him up from a nap. Why would he fight kaido someone who admits Shanks can fight him when mihawk doesn't think Shanks is.

so you have mihawk above kaido

Because he is a swordsman and wants to be the best in his craft. Hence he was dueling Shanks until the moment he sacrificed strength.
if he is already the best in his craft why doesn't he go outside his craft

so what makes the wss above kadio given the feats kaido has
What feats does kaido have ?
Kaidos durability and endurance feats are IRRELEVANT to the top brass of swordsmen as shown when oden a far weaker swordsman than mihawk was gonna kill him in 2 hits
 
Feats that mean nothing to the level of ap the top brass of swordsmen have.
the problem is that you wank swordmen too much you expect mihawk to kill kaido if one of his attacks lands. if shanks is below kaido then mihawk is obviously below kaido and it is general consensus among fans that kaido is stronger and if the one piece world have kaido above mihawk then he is above mihawk

I don't wank anything. It's a fact. A far weaker swordsman was gonna kill kaido in 2 attacks.
 
he literally was there to play around. him 'trying to kill luffy" was him testing luffy's resolve and ability to keep a clear head. if he wanted to, luffy would have been dead lol
Did you not read MF? Bro was literally trying to kill luffy, before vista came in Mihawk actually tried to do a sneak attack on Luffy at the end even replying this is “far from over”

His strongest opponent was shanks from a decade ago proven he doesn’t really search for actual strong people anymore he just sits on his island beat fodder up, His title is just a hearsay as proven via 925 with quotation marks, there’s a reason why the admirals are crowned as the WG best and Hawkeye isn’t

and kaido one-shotted the said swordsman with a no-named attack while the swordsman scared kaidos most vulnerable state

another question do you have old and sickbeard above mihawk since he still had his title
Kaido snuck a distracted oden cause of interference
Something that doesn't happen 1 vs 1


Wb wasn't the strongest anymore admitted by himself and the others who saw his decline.
 
kaido as feat above everyone in the manga including wb and roger, while mihawk is carried zoro
Except kaido can’t even destroy island in split second like Whitebeard quake attack. Closeest one is creating the hole with breath attack. That is law awaking power which it is not even island level attack.

Kaido and big mom need combine attack to rival MF Whitebeard only to be blocked by zoro.

Hybrid kaido almost nothing like ssj power up . It barlely boost attack power than full zoan power. Remember king rarely use hybrid form when fighting zoro .

Kaido durability is overrated. Heck Akainu don’t bleed or scream from marco and vista sneak attack. Jinbe and curiel can’t hurt akainu. Same izo hurt kaido but can’t hurt Akainu. Where is manga panel show izo hurt akainu ?

Not to mention his attack power is not very great compare to milhawk or akainu because kaido can’t even kill kinemon or made enemy to stay down. Akainu kill ace with his basic punch. It took full power hybrid kaido to kill cp0 while cp0 is literally sitting duck.

It took for 3-4 chapters kaido to defeat 9 samurais When he face them. He didn’t one shot all 9 samurai in split second like many people believe.
Meanwhile it took 1 or less chapter for akainu to defeat jinbe , two revolutionary people, curiel when he face them. Jinbe need law sugergy from Akainu attack meanwhile 9 samurais took treatment from non doctor person and able to fight like nothing .

Kaiid is not even strongest pirate by viz manga. It is MF Whitebeard and sengoku still call him the strongest man/pirate after seeing his heart attack.
Injuries are irrelevant because injured law and Kidd show awaking power . Same healthily Kidd and law don’t use awaking power in rooftop battle.
