If Mihawk is so strong why isn't he Emperor instead of Buggy?

Mihawk cannot win against buggy, who is better than him. Shanks, who knows this, has never stopped laughing.

This pronounciation of haki is so similar to "hockey" that when they said "Shanks is a hockey man!" and "You mean a fighter that relies on hockey?" my mind conjured the mental image of Shanks beating people up by slapping pucks at them.

I had captions on, and they did caption it as hockey, and that really confused me.

Sleep, rest, do your best.
My favorite thing about people taking One Piece power levels seriously is a lot of them tend to focus on feats and “anti-feats”. Shanks fans will talk about how Mihawk is weak because he let Krieg get away, how he didn’t beat Vista at Marineford, how Zoro survived their fight, poo poo like that. Then Mihawk fans will just say that Shanks lost an arm to a sea king that Luffy defeated in chapter one.

But then smart people will come in and point out that if you go by feats alone then the person who comes out on top ahead of everyone is Buggy D Clown.

I was rereading the end of Fishman Island and noticed they kept mentioning Jolly Roger flags right after Joyboy’s name was first mentioned and it dawned on me that they must be related somehow.

There’s definitely going to be a significant flag thing, between jolly rogers and how the Davy Back fight has an option to take their flag, the doctor’s flag on drum island, the WG flag burning, and the skull and bones motif with what people have said about there just being bones left after you die. I bet the clues are all there and we just don’t have enough info to put it together yet.

I'm guessing its going to be a flag because collecting other pirate crews flags was Luffy's whole thing in one of the prototypes - now he's going to get The Ultimate Flag.

It's gotta be joyboy, blackbeard or Luffy

Figure it's blackbeard if he kills shanks

Would be extremely funny if he had one so that when he surrounded himself in absolute darkness he could see, just like how pirates used to

Concur that the eyepatch person has to be Joyboy. But who knows, I was probably very wrong in Shanks being Xebec's kid. Juries still kind of out on that, but iirc during OP Red's release Oda semi confirmed he was Figarland's kid.

All the way back in 2007 Oda declared there was one specific character he had in mind that'll have an eyepatch, and to this day we still have no clue as to who that is.

I still bet it's Usopp. If he loses the eye on Elbaf you could even draw a parallel with Odin trading his eye for wisdom.

No matter how one loves, there are always different aims. Love can take a great many forms, whatever the era.
Usopp being a powerful one-eyed sniper would also be a neat parallel to Shanks being a powerful one-armed swordsman.

Luffy's dad has tats, which used to be the sign of a seaman/Pirate, so maybe his mom will have an eye patch.
