Why Won’t Mihawk Fight Shanks? Here’s the Answer

Hello One Piece fans, you must be asking why Mihawk won't fight Shanks? To find out the answer, you can check here.

Dracule Mihawk is the number one swordsman in the One Piece world, and now he has joined forces with Crocodile and Buggy to form the Cross Guild. So according to the story, Mihawk is Shanks’ Rival, but strangely now Mihawk doesn’t want to fight with Shanks anymore, therefore this time we will discuss why Mihawk doesn’t want to fight Shanks.

So Shanks once fought with Mihawk even though we know Shanks is a Yonko, but Mihawk can overcome Shanks’ strength. But unfortunately when the Marineford war happened, Mihawk immediately retreated when Shanks came, of course it was a big question for the fans.

The reason why Mihawk won’t fight Shanks

So why doesn’t Mihawk want to fight Shanks? Then you can see the full discussion below.

1. Mihawk is no longer interested in Shanks’ power

The first reason is because Mihawk is no longer interested in Shanks’ power. As we mentioned earlier, this Mihawk once fought with Shanks and news of their fight spread. Even a Yonko of Shirohige’s class knew about the news.

Now considering that Mihawk has already fought with Shanks, and also that Mihawk likes strong people, of course it is quite natural that Mihawk is no longer interested in Shanks’ strength. Mihawk is now looking for someone much stronger than Shanks.

2. If Mihawk wins, it will tarnish her reputation

The next reason is that if Mihawk wins against Shanks, it will tarnish his reputation. Maybe for some people if Mihawk wins it’s not a bad thing because his opponent is Yonko Shanks.

But Mihawk, who is a swordsman, is certainly not happy about it, because Shanks now only has one hand, and Mihawk certainly feels that Shanks cannot bring out 100% of his abilities.

3. If Mihawk loses, it could be to her own detriment

The next reason is that if Mihawk loses, it could be detrimental to herself. As we know Mihawk is the number 1 swordsman, so strong that if Buggy does not become Yonko, then Mihawk will become the next Yonko.

Then Shanks even though he only has one hand, but his strength is still great. If Shanks is stronger now, then they fight and Mihawk loses, of course Mihawk will be underestimated by many people in the future because he lost against someone who only has one hand.
