Hawkeyes Mihawk - Tumblr Posts

I truly love that everytime we see Mihawk Oda seems to go what is the most baffling thing I can have this man do that won’t reveal a single thing about him.

Every single time he draws him he asks himself how can I really destroy the girlies today? How can I reveal more about this man without answering a single goddam pre established question? Infact how do I raise more questions?

as One Piece comes closer to its end more and more characters that we’ve know since way back in the beginning when the manga was still in double digits are now having their pasts and motivations layed out for us to poke and prod at. .

Except Mihawk, because fuck you.

Okay just to add to this shanks literally has data sheets prepared for presumably all the rookies and reads them before confronting them. He already had a plan on his to draw the fight away from the city and fleet he swore to protect.

Meanwhile Mihawk, a man who has probably never made a plan in his life, became the shadow leader of a guild hunting marines with a fucking clown as the figurehead after one call from a mobster wannabe who’s half the reason he lost his original gig in the first place, as he was literally packing a good vintage that paired well with slaughter and escape, while literally surrounded by the marine fleet sent to arrest him.

I honestly don’t even believe he knows luffy’s actual name isn’t “is this the child you bet your arm on Shanks?”

The thing is despite shanks outward appearance off a hedonist man living it up in the moment. He is in actuality a man torn between a tragic past and a hopeful future. He only stopped running from the past when he started preparing for the future. Up until recently everything we’ve seen shanks do in present day canon is ready the way for a new era. He has forfeit being King to become a Kingmaker. He carries himself like a Regent just waiting for the next generation to come of age. He is a deeply tragic man stuck between times. Haunted by the ghost of a captain it wasn’t his destiny to save and the dreams of a boy he helped inspire. OPLA Buggy really was right when he said “you’re just a sad lonely little boy wearing another man’s hat” he just wasn’t talking about Luffy.

And despite outwards appearances of a calm and calculating man. Outside of the battle field Mihawk cannot, refuses too, exist anywhere else but the present. He’s a man that lives one day at a time, not because he’s just surviving but because why concern himself with the past or the future when there is now. when there is nothing there that can hurt him anymore and nothing he is scared to face. It’s in the way he went about getting his title, unlike Zoro there wasn’t some guy he was biding his time growing stronger to face. No he went out of his way everyday looking for stronger and stronger opponents to face until he was all that was left till there was no one that could face him, till he was without a doubt the Strongest swordsman there was. That dogged pursuit of anyone and anything capable of putting up a fight with a sword isn’t the Machiavellian calculations of a man capable of planning in the long term. It’s the single minded pursuit of someone only capable of living day to day, opponent to opponent.

And that’s why they fit so well together, Shanks reminds Mihawk that there’s a future out there and it’s gonna be new and interesting and Mihawk reminds shanks that he has a life here and now in the present and he should live it. It’s also a source of contention because Mihawk can’t understand what Shanks is hurtling towards and Shanks can’t understand how Mihawk can stand to stay still when the past is constantly licking at his heels threatening to consume him.

They are playing a game of chess and Shanks is already planning his moves for a play, 10 games ahead while Mihawk is trying to get him to focus on the one right infront of him lest he lose.

I ask god to send a swordsman / and god says ‘look at your hands’

— Melissa Broder in “Problem Area” from Last Sext

a world where an itty bitty Mihawk needs someone to save him, yet there's no one there but him.

The only reason the Marines are completely sure Mihawk isn’t a vampire is because he has a reflection and they know this for a fact because he is constantly stopping, mid report, to admire it.

I don’t know how many people have seen that clip of Nick Jonas pulling Priyanka Chopra’s chair closer to his during an interview

But I need you to know that Shanks would undoubtedly do that to Mihawk too. If the word “tangled” can’t be used as a descriptor then they are simply sitting too far apart for Shanks’ tastes.

Mihawk the type of dude to try food because he heard it's pair well with a bottle of wine he already had.

This is why he doesn't like hotpot it doesn't go with red wine.
