On a technicality, only.

[He sounds oddly amused by that.]

I would not be the greatest for a few years after that.

[Which is his roundabout way of saying: yes, yes he is. Except it wasn't getting Yoru from its previous owner that made him the greatest. It was taming her that made him the greatest. Subtle, but potent difference, there.]

Her previous owner was a rather irritating man, truth to be told. Lazy.

[Mihawk made laziness sound like the sin among sins, the way he said it.]

Unspeakably lazy. He made her do all the work for him, though admittedly she's good at what she does.

[He gives the blade a lopsided smile.]

He lived in an island all alone, with a so-called graveyard of swords outside his door. A terribly melodramatic man, you understand, the kind that has no finesse whatsoever, no understanding of subtlety.

[Said he, most melodramatic man on earth.]
