#warlords

I want to see Doflamingo doing whatever the hell he wants.

I want to see Mihawk sleeping through the meetings.

I want to see Moria commenting every single time that Hancock hasn't appeared once yet.

I want to see Crocodile quietly reading books and ignoring everyone.

I want to see Kuma and Jinbe listening politely at Sengoku.

I want to see Sengoku fed up.

I want to see every meeting being only three of them (+ Sengoku) at most.

Part 1. Dealing with Dragon Hunters/Trappers

The opening scene of Hidden World shows Hiccup and the Dragon Riders dealing with Drago's forces who’ve captured dragons to recoup their losses and rebuild their dragon army. As shown, the Riders are depicted as bumbling idiots who've never done rescue missions before in their lives.

Granted, in Race to the Edge, Hiccup and the Riders adjust to fighting professional Dragon Hunters, making the occasional mistakes here and there, and that’s life—you live and you learn. But after five seasons that show the characters we know and love fighting humans who’d enslave and kill dragons for profit, all of that knowledge you have on how to deal with those types of people doesn’t just slip your mind, it sticks.

So why are Hiccup and the gang so sloppy and dare I say incompetent in the opening of Hidden World and throughout the whole movie?!

You mean to tell me that the same Vikings who dealt with foes such as Viggo and Ryker Grimborn and their army, as well as Krogan and his Dragon Flyers (who were part of Drago Bludvist's army) and Traitor Johann, are having a difficult time dealing with the grunts of the same army that Drago once commanded? Yeah, right.

The warlords eventually get so desperate to get the Dragon Riders off of their backs that they hire Grimmel to deal with Hiccup and Toothless. The fact that the supposed "Night Fury Killer" is smarter than all the villains Hiccup has faced is laughable. Grimmel may know his prey, but he's nowhere near as smart as Viggo, who played Hiccup and the Riders like a fiddle multiple times throughout Race to the Edge. The warlords, like Drago, want to conquer the world, and because their operations are constantly being set back by Hiccup and the Riders, they reach out to Grimmel to capture Toothless, who is now the King of Dragons. Desperation causes people to do terrible things, whether the people are considered good or bad.

So you mean to tell me that after one encounter with Grimmel, Hiccup makes the choice to leave Berk so that they can find the Hidden World?

NO! You dealt with dragon raids and took matters into your own hands by training Toothless and killing the Red Death. You defended Berk from incursions from both the Outcasts and Berserkers, not to mention wild dragons like the Skirll, Whispering and Screaming Deaths and you still stood your ground!

Not only did you deal with attacks from the three musketeers here…

…but also dealt with Screamo and his Bewilderbeast, and you still held your ground and won!

This clown had no business being the reason why Hiccup, the Dragon Riders, the Hairy Hooligans, and all the dragon’s inhabiting Berk fled in a mass exodus. NO BUSINESS. Literally all Hiccup had to do was wait Grimmel out; find a safe place on Berk and either hide Toothless or fly somewhere where Grimmel couldn't touch them. But nope, this “new enemy” was far too dangerous for Hiccup to deal with.

Heya! I’m actually ınterested to know too! Lets fınd out together now, shall we? ☺️

Likes VS Dislikes in an S/o: Mihawk

● Likes ●

1. Grace and Poise

I MUST begin with this one, as Mihawk's known to carry himself with an air of nobility and grace wherever he went.

Thus, it is a standard upon all tolerable human beings to present themselves the same way.

And most importantly: His beautiful S/o.

HOWEVER, you'd be surprised to learn about Mihawk's second taste in women.

2. Opposites Attract

I'm not talking about this as a trope, but rather as something quite practical and possible.

A man who has spent his entire life living alone in a draculian castle with a gloomy, dark cloud above his head, and his job was just killing governmental targets and waiting for Zoro to get stronger. THE MAN NEEDS SOME SPICE!

So if a woman of smiles and spontaneity comes into his life, he will find himself strangely drawn in to know more.

Of course, not after trying to repulsively avoid her in any way possible.

It's a Yin and Yang compatibility, an eclipse where the both of them together can create something absolutely magical!

3. Independence and Strength

Okay this is a solid one. Every love story involves a woman depending on a man to protect her from any danger, and Mihawk is ready to put his title on the line if it comes to his s/o's safety.

But! Mihawk would find it more fascinating if his lover was able to handle herself efficiently during battle. Even better! It would straight up boost his ego, priding himself in her strength. He would even give her a subtle head rub or him just carassing her face with a soft expression.

4. Intelligence and Wit

Make no mistake, Mihawk hates naivety. Period.

The man appreciates a daily boost of knowledge and information, a challenging discussion that could lead him to new depths, or one of those debates where he keeps winning everytime.

His s/o can be clumsy, optimistic and almost out of this world, but he cannot bear a naive woman that takes things for granted and isn't grounded to reality's harsh truths.

Afterall, and as he puts it himself: "I'm not a kindergarten teacher."

Add to that trait, the last and most important one...

5. A Subtle, Unspoken Loyalty

And that is an understatement to every man, but to Mihawk it's a ground rule.

Loyalty is the most important thing to a swordsman, and loyalty is tested and proven in the most dire situations. And if his s/o does prove her loyalty to him, Mihawk will view her in a whole new light, a treasure in this world that shouldn't be wasted. His trust in her will be blind, and he will make sure to live up to her trust as much as that.

Mihawk is naturally loyal. If he loves you, he's loyal. If he loves you, he immediately becomes trusting and dependable.

This man is one of a kind when he's in love. DON'T TAKE HIM FOR GRANTED!!

○ Dislikes ○

1.Disrespect for His Solitude

It's a known fact that Mihawk enjoys his personal space and quiet lifestyle. It's something that will stay with him for the rest of his life.

So please, the "I can fix him" trope is out of the question.

A woman who tries to invade that without understanding his need for isolation would not last with him. If she does not respect his personal boundaries even as a married couple, Mihawk will cross a bold X on that. He can not tolerate foolish boldness to that extent.

2. Lack of Self-Respect

This one is quite obvious. Mihawk is a man who respects himself and expects the same from his partner.

So, a woman who constantly belittles herself, lacks confidence, or allows herself to be treated poorly would be unappealing to him.

What DOES appeal to Mihawk are the extraordinary, the people who stand out in a crowd.

Thus, petty habits such as this is a BIG no to him.

3. Lack of Intelligence or Depth

I've already mentioned this one. Mihawk hates the naive, pointless people.

He doesn’t seem interested in shallow or airheaded individuals. A woman with no depth in conversation or who lacks critical thinking would bore him. As simple as that.

4. Overly Competitive in an Annoying Way

I DID say, that Mihawk respects a strong independent woman, who can handle herself in tight situations.

But don't mix strength with delusion. This man dislikes pointless arrogance or someone trying to "prove" themselves to people constantly.

A woman who seeks to challenge him without true substance would be unimpressive and empty.
