Less Funny When Mihawk Goes Through A Fully Buttoned Shirt Phase - Tumblr Posts

Although I love tiny malnourished Mihawk challenges Rayleigh to a fight, loses and then becomes unceremoniously adopted and hold him very dear to my heart.

I do generally think that Unlike Zoro who challenges gods to back alley fights at every opportunity, Mihawk has always been very good at knowing when he’s horribly outclassed and having the patience to wait and grow stronger before challenging the world’s greatest swordsmen. There’s a reason his skin (as far as we know) is unblemished and Zoro is practically held together by scars and alcohol.

So I do think this will make it all the more devastating for him if when he loses, Zoro gives him three clean slashes down his chest to match Shanks’ jagged ones, and then doesn’t kill him. Mihawk’s never lost before at least not in any meaningful definition of the word. He’s never had lasting scars before and now he has three giant ones running across his chest, the thing he loves to show off, and he has feelings about it.
