Your point being? This is Daz Bonez we are talking about the guy who got one shotted by Alabasta Zoro......Oda would never portray an Admiral attack to be deflected by this guy regardless of the situation. That tells you a lot about portrayal.
Does it look like Mihawk was aiming at Luffy or Daz Bones there? Clearly, he wasn't going after Daz Bones so you're not getting anywhere with this. Once he had to go after Daz, he took him down with one attack.
Yes I know he's weaker. But unless you can explain to me why Mihawk stopped chasing after Luffy and got STOPPED by Crocodile, you're not saying much. Again Croc could never clash with an Admiral. Again portrayal, that would never be portrayed with Shanks or an Admiral.
The only logical conclusion we can make is that Mihawk chose not to go after him. That's how his character been portrayed. Someone who doesn't bother with small fry unless he has to. Didn't Crocodile manage to stop Akainu for like a few too?
Uh yes...um incase you didn't know Marco and Jozu are in a different league compared to the rest............
No, they aren't. Which part of your brain did that come from? That's why Oda paired Vista together with Marco, correct? Like he did with Zoro and Sanji with the pacifista? They aren't in a different league.
Marco is around Admiral level nothing wrong with that. He was the only one who was capable of fending off Akainu's punches 1v1, Vista didn't do anything. Cant be compared to Marco. No need to downplay WB, its not surprising he failed to get pass an Admirals haki they are the same level after all, let me know when WB didn't manage to hurt an Admiral with a cheapshot. WB also suffered from illness which caused his haki to go up and down.
Bold, is that when it was the two of them were fighting Akainu? Because iirc, that was off panel. So, you trying to say Vista failed against a real top tier does in no way prove anything because even Marco and WB failed. It happens. Life moves on.
Uh.....except for Akainu, Shanks etc. who are portrayed to be around the same level.
It's the same with Mihawk. We all know the gap between Luffy and Sanji is more big than small, but they are still in the same general level.
........Akainu managed to fight WB on even terms, even when bloodlusted WB couldn't kill him off and Akainu managed to blow half his head off. More or less same level mate.
Lol. Vista managed to fight Mihawk on even terms so following your logic they are portrayed equals. No, sir. You got it all wrong. Fighting someone on even terms does not mean you're as strong as them. Luffy fought Franky on even terms, guess that means they are equals or eh according to you same level? WB was stronger and not his equal.
Nope no hype puts Mihawk on the same level. WGS? How many swordsman did we see that care for that title? Vista, Zoro? Yonkou title , Admiral title >> WGS title.
Yes, it does. Being the WGS ( stronger than somene who was portrayed to be 'above' Kizaru, named Rayleigh) and Zoro's ultimate goal puts you at that level. In fact, Rayleigh even old age was spoken in the same breath as Whitebeard.
Not baseless at all, everything I wrote above puts to Admiral > Mihawk.....its not even close. If all you can say is baseless this baseless that than that only further proves my point. You literally can't prove anything regarding Mihawk being = Admirals
It's baseless since you're acting like it's a fact when it isn't.
Lol implying Mihawk is much stronger and could have done better, with no proof........wheres your proof mate?
Yeah. Doflamingo's performance against Law and Aokiji/Fujitora and his hype(eh uh, he doesn't even have top tier hype) puts him to shame compared to Mihawk.
Doflamingo taunted Aokiji to freeze him when he ignored his plea to leave Smoker. LOL did you just claim he didn't get out of it easily when he broke through in mere seconds, without any drawbacks. Panting could simply be from freezing, anyone who had to hold their breath has to pant....its only normal since he couldn't breath during the time he was frozen.....
WB didn't pant from when Aokiji most likely used a stronger attack, so yes Doflamingo didn't get out of there easily.
Again I will say this again, you have not even given a slightest bit of feats to say Mihawk stands on even ground with Admirals whereas I can go on forever with this. You're only way out is to say he fought Shanks a decade ago when Shanks wasn't a Yonkou and he got his arm eaten by a sea king....
Having more feats = / = being on another level. Neither Kaido or Big Mom feats, according to your logic they aren't on the same level as the Admirals. His feats were put in parallel with the big boys in a chapter called 'The battle of the mightiest'. That's the kind of portrayal that's going for Mihawk, which you simply like to ignore.
