Out of all the unlikely pirate alliances that theOne Piecenarrative has seen in the past, the one that fans found the most intriguing is the Cross Guild. The Cross Guild alliance involves Buggy as the leader with Mihawk and Crocodile as the other founding members. This alliance was one of the most unexpected aspects ofOne Piecepost-time-skip, but it might have a major role in the end.

Cross Guild

Cross Guild has proved itself to be one of the most dangerous organizations against the tyranny of the World Government and the Navy, as they have been putting bounties on the heads of prominent Navy individuals. Not only that, with Buggy’s status as an Emperor of the Sea and Crocodile and Mihawk’s status as former Warlords, their strength is unprecedented.

However, while the goal of the Cross Guild is still unknown, the one thing that has been revealed through the alliance of Crocodile and Mihawk is the truth about Shanks’ real bloodline. An uncanny connection between the two former Warlords proves that Shanks actually might be a Celestial Dragon inOne Piece.

The Unexpected Alliance Between Crocodile And Mihawk

The Cross Guild organization was first seen during the Wano arc inOne Piecewhen the decision about the disbandment of the Warlord System was made official. It was then that Crocodile contacted Mihawk and asked him to form an organization along with him to save themselves from the Navy’s continuous hunt. After that, Crocodile brought Buggy into the plan.

While theCross Guild is believed to be the pirate crew of Buggy, it is actually an organization that directly counterattacks the bounty system of the Navy by putting a bounty over their head. But the most unexpected thing within the organization is the alliance between Crocodile and Mihawk, as the two were seen clashing during the Marineford arc.

Despite being initially portrayed as opponents, both pirates have a sense of respect for the other, but the trust seems to be quite low. But the trust aspect gets sidelined by their mutual hatred towards the Navy and the World Government inOne Piece.

Crocodile And Mihawk Alliance Hints At Shanks’ Bloodline

While the true nature of the alliance between Mihawk and Crocodile is unknown, the one thing that this partnership has helped in evidently confirming isShanks’ status as a Celestial Dragon. While it has not been officially stated, Shanks must have seemingly asked Mihawk to join his crew but was rejected by him.

A similar thing happened when Doflamingo asked Crocodile to join him and work on his own cause with protection provided by Doflamingo. Mihawk turning down Shanks and Crocodile turning down Doflamingo was a hint that just like Doflamingo, Shanks was also a Celestial Dragon, and both Mihawk and Crocodile hate the World Government and the Nobles.

While the real reason behind their hatred towards the World Government and the Celestial Dragons is not revealed, it most likely involves the slavery aspect that is often linked with the Celestial Dragons’ name. All these speculations and mysteries will be solved soon asEiichiro Odamoves deeper into the final saga ofOne Piece.
