Mihawk is really a great example of a character that is just all hype.

What makes you think he is the strongest Shichibukai or can even beat Yonko or Admirals?


 * He defeated Zoro with a knife. East blue Zoro. No big deal.


 * Destroyed Don Krieg's fleet. Everyone at a certain level is capable of doing that. No big deal.


 * He fought with Shanks form time to time. Seriously, with a straight face, who believes these skirmishes were real battles to the death? And only that kind would count to predict a possible outcome.

 * His "strongest slash" got deflected with ease. I admit Jozu is a special case, but it proves that his attacks seem to not be haki-enhanced.

It is not that I don't like the character, but if you make claims like "he is stronger than any other Shichibukai and kicks Admirals", then at least try to back it up. Believable, if possible.
