reading volume 105 and I had forgotten we actually got mihawk's bounty and on page acknowledgement that he's a better swordsman than shanks??? they have half a billion difference in bounty mihawk's is still over half a billion above luffy's this is absolutely fantastic to me for many many reasons but especially because by god zoro seriously fought him ten volumes in. he really tried to fight someone with three times king's bounty with only one named sword and three weeks of experience as a pirate. he actually left his village at age sixteen specifically looking for him and went up to him at age nineteen convinced he was gonna win. and he had the guts to complain about mihawk using the butter knife to fight him too how is he alive he's so lucky mihawk felt like adopting that day

#i have already extensively lost my mind over final boss mihawk cruising the waters of the plot since the early chapters for #absolutely no reason whatsoever and tricking you into forgetting he's an actual god walking between ants #but when i read these things in the manga it fucks me over all over again like #yes sure shanks was there first chapter too but not as an enemy??? not sitting smack in the middle of the shichibukai #nearly all of them luffy defeated when he was still nothing more than a rabid chihuahua??? #insane!!! mihawk is insane!!!! #but the fact that he has only half a billion difference with shanks ESPECIALLY trips me cause #strength isn't the only factor in deciding a bounty in one piece!!! #influence! power on the seas! number of territories and subordinates!! the type of crimes they committed!! #they all play a factor in deciding someone's worth together with their strength #and shanks has all of that #all of that factors in his four billions bounty #but mihawk has none of that!!! no power! no territories! he doesn't even have crewmates!!! #he's alone doing his thing by himself!!!! #he /was/ called the marine hunter so I'll guess he does have the incidents to make his bounty increase #but aside from that it's all calculated on his strength??? his strength alone is worth 3.5 billions????? #how high would his bounty even be if he had a fleet and territories like shanks does?????? #dude #dude I'm obsessed with mihawk #in case that wasn't clear or obvious enough #......he's pretty much worth the added bounties of marco king and katakuri i cannot wrap my head around this #he straight up says he doesn't want to be an emperor is this why he isn't one it is isn't it dude made it so himself #oh i LOVE him when is he becoming relevant already #if oda doesn't give me either a fight between him and shanks or with them allied fighting side by side before the end I'll cry fr
