In the world of One Piece, the rivalry between Shanks and Mihawk is set to intensify as they meet once again in Cross Guild. While they have crossed paths before during the great war in Marineford, this time their encounter will be different. With Mihawk now part of Crocodile’s organization, he has become one of the villains that Luffy and the World Government will have to face.
In Chapter 1082 of One Piece, it is revealed that Buggy has ambitions of becoming a pirate king and Mihawk and Crocodile may be there to help him realize his dream. However, they are aware that it will not be an easy feat as they will have to go up against powerful pirate crews like the Yonkou, including Shanks.
Despite not having the desire to become a pirate king himself, Shanks supports Luffy as a potential successor to Gol D. Roger, his former captain. Shanks saw the same spirit in Luffy that he admired in Gol D. Roger, which is why he passed down his treasured Straw Hat to the young pirate. With Cross Guild’s determination to make Buggy the pirate king, they will undoubtedly clash with Shanks and his crew, where Mihawk will have to show all his skills to beat the red-haired rival.
If Shanks falls, Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates would be the only ones left to support his dreams of becoming a pirate king. This would make it easier for Buggy to become the next pirate king, making him the successor to Gol D. Roger’s legacy. Still, Luffy’s ultimate goal is not to become a pirate king but rather to bring peace to the All Blue.
Other characters in the One Piece series, such as Kurohige, also aspire to become pirate kings. But at this point, these are just theories that can only be confirmed by the creator of the series, Eiichiro Oda. With the numerous plot twists in the story, it’s hard to be sure which theory will be proven right.
In conclusion, as the plot thickens in One Piece, the rivalry between Shanks and Mihawk is set to reach new heights. The inclusion of Buggy’s dreams of becoming a pirate king and Crocodile’s organization, Cross Guild, will make it all the more exciting to see how these events unfold.
