A LOT of supposition based on the interior of a coat. Maybe the coats are father and son, and Silvers and Mihawk aren't actually related? Coats can love too.

Side note: silver and dracula (vampires) historically don't get along so it would make for a great father-son dynamic

My theory is that Rayleigh was the strongest, but Mihawk defeated him and took his title. The vivre card datebook says Shanks sought out Mihawk, not the other way out, and I think it'd make sense if it was because Mihawk defeated one of Shanks's mentors

The roger -> shanks -> luffy inheritance lines up so nicely with the rayleigh -> mihawk -> zoro inheritance theory

Either: 1. Oda is crazy enough to use a textile pattern to connect two characters; 2. Readers are crazy enough to use a textile pattern to connect two characters; or 4. Oda is crazy enough that readers are crazy enough to think he would use a textile pattern to connect two characters.

Damn, thought he just spawned into this world without parents

There's also the implication that another child was on Roger's ship at one point because during the Oden flashback Roger and Reighly (sorry If I misspell) were holding momonosuke and Hiyori and Roger states, "I haven't spent time with a baby in ages" in which Rayleigh (again Idk) replies with "Reminds me of the old days." So either there was another child on Roger's ship at one point or this was referring to Shanks and or Buggy. When asked about it in an sbs Oda played it off with "Did I say that?! Just ignore it! *whistle noises*"

I think Rayleigh was Mihawk's mentor and the one who trained him to swing sharp things on Rusukaina because when he went to train Luffy he seemed well versed on the island even the way he said to Boa " take us to that island:", so we could almost definitely say that he did the same thing a while ago. maybe to pass down the title of the strongest swordsman?

The double-layered eye theory is one of my favourite. Cavendish also has the double-layered eyes when he wrestles against Hakuba, his "alter-ego". A youtuber named "Parvision" already went into a lot of detail with this theory a couple months ago

Mihawk is such a mysterious character i cant wait to learn more about him. Hopefully in One Piece Movie Red we’ll learn more about his backstory and character in general. And hopefully see him having more interactions with the straw hats

Recently found this channel after being finally up to date with One Piece, I'm just gonna binge this everyday now lol, subscribed :)

I’d say Edward Meeval would win, because if my interpretation is true, then it’s basically weeval with some of Mihawk’s ability, which is a pretty scary thought, seeing how strong he is already from what we’ve been shown.

No, see, Mihawk was actually hatched out of the giant egg that Roger's crew were carting around. He's a dragon who ate the hito hito model vampire. Hence 'Dracule', which comes from dragon and also refers to dracula, and why he wears a big broad hat all the time to keep the sun off. He's called Mihawk because when he hatched out he was raised by a pirate with a hook hand and a strong accent whose hook hand he kept biting onto, and the regular cries of 'mi hawk!' (my hook) stuck as a name they all started calling him.

So we r starting a journey to find characters' daddies. Their Mothers aren't that of an issue for Liam, the sharp dresser. Yeah, I saw that 👁️👁️

The winner would have to be Meevil, going off of the moustache = power power scale Meevil would have the bigger moustache and therefore would have the most power. While there aren't exact measurements of Meevil and Wihawks moustaches to compare the heights of some characters who look really similar are 6'6 and 22'3 respectively making me be able to safely assume Meevil has the bigger stache.

2 years late but I'm pretty sure it is stated that Mihawk just likes the peace and quiet that comes with the warlord title. He likes being left alone.

Rayleigh being Mihawk's son would theoretically incentivize the Roger Pirates to meet Mihawk at some point so Shanks and Mihawk could end up fighting.

I do like Mihawks Spanish Conquistador style. And yes he would win! The self proclaimed son of Whitebeard is just powerful but slow

yo your channel is amazing man

It’s my head canon that Mihawk became a warlord because their purpose was specifically to oppose the yonkou if it came down to it. And he went “yeah, I would like some of that action”

I actually searched who is Mihak's parents in google before and Rayleigh and sakky showed up. And i was like bruh did i miss something lol

Didn’t Rayleigh also say that when momonosuke was born, that was the first time the crew had a baby on board for a while or something

Mihawk's "mom" is 42... he's 43...

Your vid are the best. KEEP IT UP! :D

Unpopular Opinion: Mihawk isn’t the greatest swordsman! ….and never was. He spent his life battling Shanks hoping to become to greatest. Until one day Shanks gave the title away with the loss of his arm. Leaving Mihawk, pissed he didn’t earn it the way he envisioned. So Mihawk traveled the east blue, in search of Shanks so that he could find out why? Upon meeting Zoro, Luffy and the crew Mihawk began to understand. He did it for the next generation of pirates. I believe Mihawks case is he did it for the next ‘Greatest Swordsman’ (Obviously Mihawk reminds me of Endeavor 🔥)

In the roger flashback rayleigh said 'its nice to have another child on board' or something along those lines while talking about momonoske, which made me think he had a child.. Also shanks is 4-5 years younger than rayleigh depending on the month so it makes sense that Rayleigh would have already dropped his kid off to safety before the rest of their journey. I've thought mihawk was his son for a while especially the fact they've never even acknowledged eachother in the story

Between Mihawk and Weevil I’m very confident the winner would be Mihawk. Sorry to Stephan for dissing his mustache but I think Mihawk would not even intentionally kill his mother and Weevil would have no idea how to fight without her. Or Mihawk would just accidentally cut off the mustache and the mom would start crying bc no more connection to Whitebeard.

Edward Mievil. A dude that big with expert swordsmanship is terrifying!

Oda in sbs confirmed that Rayleigh,Shanks, Roger and some other characters were swordsmen. What's the point of Rayleigh being the world greatest swordsman if there is a swordsman stronger than him(Roger). For me it's illogical. It would be more logical if Mihawk wanted to achieve the title that his father couldn't. It would explained why Mihawk started to challenge more and more powerful foes. He wanted to became world strongest swordsman. And it also would explain why he decided to became a swordsman. Also Mihawk and Rayleigh have the same training methods,Mihawks didn't allow Zoro to drink wine until he masters armament haki and Rayleigh didn't allow Luffy to eat until he dodge his attacks 100 times. If Mihawk is Rayleigh's son it's obvious that he can't use father's surname because he is from Roger's crew but we don't know Shakky's full name it's possible that her surname is also Dracule and also she doesn't aged like a vampire. If Shakky is Mihawk's mother, than she ended her pirate career when Mihawk was one year old. Mihawk was introduced in chapter 50 and Rayleigh in chapter 500 Mihawk,Rayleigh and Shakky have similar facial hair on the faces and Mihawk and Shakky have the same hair color. Mihawk and Rayleigh have the same coats. (it was the main point of this video) Roger and Rayleigh were talking about how long time ago they had little children on their ship when Roger were holding Oden's child.

Dracule Wihawk vs Edward Meevil would be an interesting fight, but I would put my money on Wihawk. They were both once warlords, meaning their level of power are roughly equal to characters like Caw (the boy who was saved by Lorazon), Zuma (the tyrant who spared Roronoa Koro), Guggy (the clown who is believed to be a Bod) and many many more. However, Wihawk is the only one of the two to have fought against Lhanks (the man who gave Suffy, our protagonist, his iconic straw hat).

Weevil asks Mihawk, "Who's your daddy?" and dies before he hits the ground.

Mihawk dad has already been shows briefly during a few frames on a Reverie meeting scene, in the round table.

Wow I’ve never thought about Rayleigh being Mihawk’s dad. That will be on my mind for another month.

0:11 now that deserves a price for cursed image of the month

your the best one piece youtuber and you are so funny keep up the work great job

Liam this is a current top 3 channel for me right now. I love the one piece vids just had to say it

I think it’d actually be REALLY close, no matter who wins. Meevil’s strength was said to be equal to the that of the famous Whitemoustache in his prime, while Wihawk is the greatest knifesman in the world. Now, while Whitemoustache’s power has actually never actually been weighed against Wihawk’s, due to Phoenix Jozu stopping his knife-stab from even hitting him, we can assume it’s at least slightly above Wihawk’s, maybe even leagues above. But, while Meevil does have Whitemoustache’s strength, he, unlike Whitemoustache, is an idiot. We’re talking probably missing brain-parts level idiot. Though we haven’t actually seen him in battle so who knows? Maybe he was optimized for fighting and becomes hyper-intelligent when entering combat. But enough tip-toeing, who wins? Probably Wihawk, with what we know as of yet.

Theory time: People with the Special Eyes have had some sort of Immortality bestowed upon them. Zunisha: Roam the world for their past endeavors. Imu: Has probably existed for a VERY long time Mihawk: has the eyes. And thats ll my theory has to stand on. (But its an interesting possibility, no?)

Mihawk would shave that moustache in a blink of an eye. 100% Mr. Dracule!

Everything was one point💯 been tryin to encourage this theory for a long time

The jacket/cloak used as a way to recognise the world's greatest swordsman would kind of make sense to me because of at least one other fictional anime that uses the same code: Afro Samurai. 8 people each wearing a unique bandana on them, from 8 being the lowest down to 1 being the best swordsman in the world. And when the bearer of a bandana is defeated/killed, well, you know the drill right?

I was pretty neutral on this whole thing until Liam brought up that line from Luffy that the pirate king should have the greatest swordsman on his crew. In retrospect that really does set up that Roger probably had that as well.

GrandLineReview: Rayleigh was the strongest swordsman before Mihawk Oden: Am I a joke to you

If Mihawk were to have a pirate crew, it'll be with the baboons

Edward Meevil would win because he’s funny looking (actually because I think he would be the smarts of Mihawk and the strength of Weevil, which is better than having the smarts of Weevil) :)

I feel like Dracule Wihawk and Edward Meevil would be a tie since both Mihawk and Edward have been described as strong characters and they have both been combined together and now share similar characteristics.

i just realize that wet haired caribou has the same pattern eyes so i am fine with matching clothes than matching dna

yesterday i was rewatching OP sabody arc. I realized that Motobaro (pet bison of Duval) has the same eye as mihawk maybe they have a connection too lol

It is very likely that Dracule Wihawk would win since they both have the power of the mustache now but Wihawk has Yoru which comes to his advantage. It may be a close fight, but Wihawk’s coming out the wictor.

We haven’t really seen Edward Meevil’s true power since he is barely shown and seen in the anime while Mihawk has been shown to fight commanders and even shanks once before and the fact that Mihawk survived a fight with shanks who was probably in his prime and came out unscathed is pretty remarkable to say the least. Edward Meevle might be Whitebeards son but I would give it to Mihawk.

I would like Mihawk to win but realistically Weevil would probably beat him especially if he finds out that Mihawk took part in a battle where his ‘dad’ took part in. Weevil strength is strangely underestimated I think 🤔

Edward Meevil would definitely win. He has the bigger stache.

The real Question Is MIHAWK VS SHANKS! who you got?

The coats being a symbol of associated with being the greatest swordsman is interesting. Definitely more interesting than a numbered headband lol

Mihawk and Rayleigh just shopped for the same clothing brand. Wouldn't question them if they both had Cyber Panda clothes.

I wasn't expecting to see Mihawk with Enel's face, but it was a pleasant surprise

Definitely Edward as he has a mustache he is stronger then Dracule. Everyone knows mustache=strength as seen with Stephan and whitebeard.

Weevil is definitely strong (at least strong enough to become a warlord despite his claim to fame as Whitebeard's son is disputed), but Mihawk is an old rival of a current yonko whom he know longer wishes to fight because said yonko lost an arm. Mihawk wins that fight easily.

2:43 not necessarily because as we see in Rayleigh's flashback to when we first met Roger its implied that Roger still hasn't gone to sea yet and is still in lougetown which is located in the east blue, meaning Rayleigh would also be from the east blue

4:55 🤔that's a tricky question actually it all depends on if Meevil's mother is there because he may have power he may have the conquers haki but the problem is he needs to be coached because he's kind of dim so if he's alone then Mihawk would definitely win for sure he'd be able to out think him as for his chances of winning they haven't revealed enough about Meevil for us to be definitive on what his full extent of his power is except for that he's rather dim in the head Edit said dang autocorrect wants to call him weevil I'll fix it

I feel like Edward Meevil would be able to win, it has the body of Edward weevil but the face and mind of Dracule mehawk,With that absurd level of intelligence and swordsmanship with that body it’s going to be insane to beat

I think mihawk would absolutely clobber weevil, we have never even seen the extent of mihawks abilities and it is heavily implied he would beat zoro, who I imagine would beat weevil, not only that, he was said to have been shank’ rival who is an emperor, it would be crazy if weevil managed to beat mihawk. Also, just look at the guy, he lives with literal baboons, how could he not win?

Drucle weehawk of course. That mustache makes him immortal.

the coat theory actually answers the question as to why and how Zoro knew Mihawk was the greatest swordsman in the world at a glance

Also, how in the hell did Zoro make it to Shakky’s Rip Off Bar before everyone else?? Mihawk had to take him straight there lol

If Rayleigh was the former world's strongest swordsman, I'm going to put out my theory that Bogard was also noted strong swordsman and was Rayleigh rival like how Garp is to Roger.

"1000 years ago when communication was primitive" That aged well huh muahahaha

0:10 that image will haunt my dreams for a milllenia

Edward Meevil would definitely have a buff due to the fact that he has Hawkeye’s hawk eyes, which must be some sort of huge bonus, but Dracula Weehawk would win because he has Mihawk’s hawk eyes, Mihawk’s trained body, and Weevil’s mustache, which I believe to be the source of Weevils incredible power. Meevil has the mustache too but doesn’t have the overpowered Hawkeye body to go with the eyes.

I think Mihawk will win against Edward Meevil because of the fact he can be empire level because he used to dual with shanks who is a yonko but both havn’t showed their full power but if i have to choose it would be Mikawk

Imagine Rocks pirates fighting Roger pirates, Rock's first mate Shakky fighting Reyleigh. They have an epic fight Mr and Mrs Smith style and end up making some passionate Love.

dracule wihawk absolutely wins the power of that mustache and eye brows unbeatable

Dracule Mihawk is the strongest swordsman in the world. He's probably the strongest out of the current shichibukai. However, this is with the caveat that we aren't yet sure about just how strong Edward Weevil is. He has been compared to a young Whitebeard. This means that he might even be stronger than Mihawk. Mihawk is on a whole different level when it comes to speed and I think this would be the cause of Weevil's loss.

Noti 🙏🏼 keep posting that 🔥

He's a sword that ate the hito hito no mi model vampire

The coat is like the headbands in afro samurai

Between Mihawk and Weevil I'd say Mihawk wins. There's hardly any prowess that we've seen more than what we've heard from both, but the title of the strongest swordman goes a long way. Just see that King might be a contender too and then it starts to jump pretty fast on the power level scale. Based on no evidences whatsoever I personally think that Weevil could beat Queen but not King, for instance.

A battle between Dracule Wihawk and Edward Meevil would be an extremely close fight due to them being the sons of Whiteking Rayward; Meevil obviously being the the older and stronger son due to his size but this also makes him slow, where as Wihawk takes upon a more skill based fighting style relying on speed but he would struggle to harm his ‘Big Brother’ with his weaker attacks so the two would be locked in a stalemate. After hours of fighting, shockwaves felt across the sea from this battle attract a 3rd fighter to this fight, Mongas D. Lace, the protégée of the sons’ father. Due the brothers weakening each other over the course of the battle, Lace is able to beat the two with little effort. Winner: Mongas D. Lace!

My keyring looking real empty, I could really use those key chains

Remember, when you’re choosing your outfit for the day, you’ll also be choosing who your parents are for the day

To approach the answer of the winner between THE dracule wihawk and edward meevil contesters, we must analyse the brute strength of both of them (as in the sackage of their lips) as we can clearly see dracule wihawk lip sackage is FAR in superior to edward meevil's bussin' sackage under the lips. Henceforth signifying that he shall claim victory with ease or little effort.

Ever since Whitebeard said Mihawk and Shanks had daily duels, the thought of them being former 1 & 2 crewmates has stuck in my head. How else would they have the duels, same boarding school?

As far as the duel between Dracule Wihawk and Edward Meevil, I believe it’ll be a draw, as they are both as much the world’s greatest swordsman as they are “Whitebeard’s son”, leading them to become stalemated

I think that hakuba may have something to do with mihawk as well.

Mihawk by a mile. We haven't had a lot of Edward fighting and he seems to be the unstoppable brute force type opposed to Mihawk's technique and skill. Mihawk would pick him apart over time.

Due to power creep by the time we end up fighting Mihawk, he will end up being stronger than Kiado. It will be just because of pure narrative necessity but the fact that Zoro has conquerors now and that he will beat King, by the time of the final Mihawk show down Mihawk will need to be scaled to emperor level just to make it interesting.

hey liam what about luffys and rogers dream being dying while laughing? refering to the other vid

they both have legendary beard styles thats the selling point for me tbh

Imma go with wihawk cuz he still has the nickname Hawkeye so he retains his swordsmanship. Also by attaining the wi he gets a physical strength boost

I believe Dracula Wihawk would win. You see, Wihawk and Meevil are both very powerful characters with the capability to completely destroy the one piece world, but Wihawk has the advantage of experiencing. He’s been alive and fighting for much longer than Meevil, but it doesn’t really matter because if they ever did clash we would all instantly vaporize before finding who wins.

Dracule Wihawk, now with a glorious white moustache, is clearly unstoppable

Dracule Mihawk wins because so far, we haven't seen much of Meevil, but I think Mihawk is stronger because he is the World's Strongest Swordsman and Meevil is just Whitebeard's self-proclaimed son which we don't know for sure if that's true. Mihawk is also Yonko level and we know that because he has fought shanks before and survived without losing any body parts.

i think between Mihawk and Weevil. Mihawk would definitely win, because you know, Mihawk is pretty much destined or considering the fact the that we barely know anything about him I'd even say designed to lose to Zoro. The fight between Mihawk and Weevil would be quite intense tho considering the size difference, the age difference and the mental age difference, it would be cool and absolutely hilarious at the same. I mean imagine Weevil fighting Mihawk with snot in his nose, I'm pretty sure MIhawk would make a remark on that, which would be straight up COLD & HILARIOUS. So yeah, MIhawk would definitely win, not easily maybe, but he would win for sure, The only person Mihawk is ever lose to is a certain MARIMO! But as i said it'd be fun to watch Mihawk and Weevil fight.

My theory: Rocks was the previous user of Luffy’s gum gum fruit or at least had it in his possession. It would explain WHY the world government wanted to guard it and the fact Rocks was essentially erased from history would explain why majority of people (especially the marines) wouldn’t realize it’s significance. Now of course this raises the question of why Garp, Kaido, and Big Mom didn’t recognize it but they each have negative memories of that time (especially Garp). So it’s plausible that they DID recognize the fruit offscreen but didn’t being it up due to their negative association. I know there’s holes in this theory but i think it’s cool.

There's another problem with the Mihawk is Rayleigh and Shakky's child. Shakky comes from Amazon Lily. It is impossible for her to give birth to any other gender than female. So unless Mihawk is trans, which I highly doubt is possible without Ivankov and that Oda had even though of the idea, Mihawk is for sure not Shakky's child. But that does not mean Mihawk is not Rayleigh's child. Shakky did say that Rayleigh tried to 'get along' with other girls when the crew met her in saobody for the first time. So, it's entirely possible Mihawk is Rayleigh's son but not Shakky's

I mean as an EXTREMELY biased person I have to give it to are favorite red cloak swordsman (will he be in the next movie?)

Dracule Wihawk would destroy Edward Meevil if they were to fight. Why? Because whilst Edward Meevil is dressed in chains and stitches(probably as a result of losing to Wihawk), Wihawk is sitting down, newspaper in hand, knowing everything about the world. Dracule Wihawk will be able to scheme and beat Meevil no matter what he tries, outsmarting him at every turn. I think the only chance Meevil would have it to use his spendid Moustache inherited from his dad Edward neMgate, but I believe Wihawk could get rid of that immediately. In summary, Wihawk wins.

Obviously Edward Meevil would win, with his brute force and the added sharpness of mihawks face thing he would be unstopable

Dracule Wihawk for sure. The world's strongest swordsman with a replica shirohige beard? Unstoppable

Wild theory and I am probably too late to the show for this to get attention but is it possible that the eye design is unique to people who have been made immortal through the op op no mi? I say this for a few reasons. One because as I understand it we don't know how old Eihme (am i saying that right?) is and because the op op was in circulation prior to the young Trafalgar getting it, which means it old user must have died. My theory would go that the previous user of the op op used its power to grant immortality to the young hawk eye Mihawk, making him immortal and giving him his eyes. Of course this would also mean that Zunisha was made immortal using the op op no mi, which would explain why there arent any other giant elephants wandering the world. If this theory is true, then the reason why hawkeye is the strongest swordsman might not just be because of his ability to use a sword but also because he cant be injured. He has none of the scars that are so typical to a lot of one piece characters including Luffy and Zoro. It could be that I am looking too much into thing but from what I can tell Zunisha doesn't have any such scars either. Its a wild theory with plenty of flaws but it seams like quite a nice way to tie the eye traits together.
