Since I jumped into One Piece midway...can anyone explain why Luffy don't stand a chance against Mihawk? I understand the admirals but...Mihawk's just a shichibukai.
Shichibukais are not of equal strength. The government offers the title of Shichibukai to pirates who are "potentially" dangerous. Hancock was immediately offered the position after just her 1st campaign. Ace too was offered the position because he was a logia DF.
Because the position if offered based on potential and not actual strength, it makes sense that the power of one shichibukai could differ from another. Crocodile, a former shichibukai, is a logia DF who does not know how to use Haki. Moria, another Luffy victim, is getting pawned by former shichibukai Jimbei.
On the other hand, Mihawk is widely acknowledged as the world's greatest swordsman. He has gone toe to toe against Red Hair, who is probably as strong as Whitebeard. My point is don't generalize the fighting strength of the shichibukais.
Plus, it would just suck if the current Luffy would be a strong as Mihawk, who is Zorro's goal.
