I like to think that on some level Shanks is just a little upset (Beckman knows the truth; that he is deeply, simmeringly, furious) at the unfairness and hypocrisy that is Mihawk still wanting to fight Zoro.

That he still thinks Zoro’s going to be his greatest challenger- the one to usurp his throne, that even though he’s down an eye, even though they are both “lacking”. Zoro is somehow still worthy of Mihawk’s attention when Shanks has been judged and found wanting.

Shanks lost an arm, and they still can’t talk about it, and Mihawk still won’t fight him, but he’ll fight Zoro. Trained Zoro. And he knows it’s not the same, he doesn’t even want the title, doesn’t want to be Mihawk’s “destiny”. He knows that he’s being childish but Mihawk started it and it’s not fair.

#was just thinking about this #my favorite Headcanon is that arguments about shank’s arm are the only time Shanks is truly heated enough to be mad at Mihawk #like he calls him childish and obstinate and all the things Mihawk low key knows he is but doesn’t like to her #honestly it might just be the level of dedication #Zoro is a swordsman tm #while although skilled Shanks is more in the guy that just uses a sword camp #I think that the lost arm was just kind of Mihawk’s wake up call #like - oh this isn’t as serious to him as it is to me #this isn’t his world #this doesn’t threaten to consume him whole kike it does me #But obviously Mihawk and his was probably raised alone on a mountain herding sheep emotional skills still hasn’t figured that out yet #dracule mihawk #one piece #hawkeye mihawk #akagami no shanks #throwing thoughts to the void #mishanks #op #akataka #red hair shanks #benn beckman
