Nanami Is So Reluctantly A Good Person. Its So Ahhhhhhh

Nanami is so reluctantly a good person. It’s so ahhhhhhh

I know this isn’t a particularly common characterization of them (at least not what I’ve seen) but I personally think of the two;

Shanks rarely gets restless, he’s the one more content to just bask in a moment, it may not be in silence but he’s comfortable just doing nothing with his crew. As long as there’s alcohol, a hammock and the people he loves, Shanks is straight.

Contrary to that Mihawk is always itching to do something, entertain himself in some way. If he’s not dueling/training, he’s gardening if it’s not that then he’s cooking or he’s reading and if nothing else will do then he naps. but he’s always trying to occupy his time with something.

I think a lot of people don’t notice it because it’s not the jittery hyperactivity that people associate with it. But Mihawk is restless, endlessly so. He’s in a never ending fight with his boredom but it’s all internal.(except when he decides to make it someone else’s problem ala Don Krieg)

Mihawk’s the type of dude to implode instead of explode so it makes sense that things like restlessness don’t really show themselves in an outwardly physical way. Instead it’s more of an internal pressure and incessant need to stave off boredom. But because of his preference for being alone and the fact that the activities he chooses aren’t ones usually associated with restlessness. It goes unnoticed.

Except by Shanks who’s always going out of his way to make the life of a pretty little birdie a litte more interesting.

Mihawk is a man that knows, if he even showed the slightest bit of interest he could pull anybody he wanted. And that is something Shanks, crocodile, buggy and anybody he has ever even mildly been in the presence of, fear deeply

Was watching a YouTube video about the theory that Mihawk was initially the first mate of the red hair pirates, called “The greatest Mihawk Theory Ever Made” by the Hidden Island.

And it’s a great video and a pretty solid theory with fun and solid evidence. But what’s pertinent here is that the creator suggests his own take on how Shanks and Mihawk’s story could be resolved or explored more and that’s by having Shanks win Mihawk in a straw hat, red hair pirates, cross guild wide Davy Back fight. and hit him with a “Welcome back Hawkeyes”

Ahhhhrectruuundwdgb

I can’t tell you how unwell this scenario makes me I think about it once a day and I might die if I never get to see this but will actually die if it does happen.

The thing about Mihawk, the thing that really obsesses me, is that he looks like a schemer, the kind of guy who bides his time and then strikes. He looks like a planner . But the thing is…

I don’t think he’s ever made a plan in his life.

Like you look at him and you’re like this is obviously a man playing chess but he’s not! At best he’s playing some really f*cked up game of Uno where he has all the action cards.

It’s not a coincidence that every single time we see him he is making a truly consequential decision…on a whim. The first time we ever see dude is because he chased a pirate armada all the way across the grand line into the East blue because they woke I’m from a nap! He then went on to accept a challenge from another truly ridiculous man and then decided actually I want him to be the one to defeat and surpass me soooooo actually I’m going to let him live, on little else except vibed and the spirit of “I like the cut of his jib”

That is some garp ass logic right there. This is not a serious man! 😭
