People are gonna be dissapointed with Mihawk when all he does is fight with Zoro and get beaten easily once Zoro gets a powerup

This is basically Oda's setup for Zoro's fights in all the manga. First, Zoro struggles with the opponent, then he figures something out and then he wins with a couple of attacks, that's his formula

Alabasta: Zoro couldn't cut steel, he was struggling with Mr 1 but once he learned how to do it he won one shot

Ennies Lobby: Zoro was struggling with Kaku, then he used Asura and won in 1 attack

Wano: Zoro was struggling with King's durability and Enma sucking his Haki, but once he accepted Enma he won in 2-3 attacks

Elbaph: He was struggling with Sommers's regeneration but it seems like just like always he will win as soon as he figures out CoC coating

This has been the formula in all of Zoro's major fights so for Mihawk it will be the same, Zoro will struggle at first, then unlock something and then beat Mihawk in a couple of attacks. It won't be a massive clash like Luffy usually does but rather a one sided stomp once Zoro figures out some ability. Mihawk will just be a victim of Oda writing for Zoro where opponents are always stomped once Zoro gets a powerup and he was destined to just be that from the beggining

Like, people talk abut Shanks vs Mihawk but Shanks vs Blackbeard is gonna be a legendary fight in shonen history with massive feats from both sides, Mihawk on the other side is just gonna be a one sided battle once Zoro figures his next powerup
