You have to read WCI. One of the best arcs in manga history.

When the fuck was Arlong Jinbe’s equal?

Damn, they went a little overboard with Sanji and Zeff waiting 85 days on that desert place. By the 25th day they were already all dried up.

How did Krieg and Mihawk for that matter leave the Grand Line?

No. The calm belt is on both sides. The marines can only cross it because they imbue their ships with sea stone.

Isn't there a way through Mariejois? I scarcely remember someone presenting both solutions to enter the Grand Line, either through the Red Line or if you're a government official, you go through mariejois. I imagine Mihawk could do the latter. As for Don Krieg, I dunno, maybe he swam through the calm bet?

Mihawk was chasing Krieg. They barely even made it into the Grand Line before Mihawk decimated their fleet. We've also seen what happens when a ship enters the calm belt when the SHC mistakenly ended up there. There's no way a ship can sail through it.

There's also no wind, so regular ships can't even sail through it without rowing.

So unless they somehow went backwards on the reverse mountain (physically impossible), there's no way they could have escaped.

Again, isn't there a way through Mariejois? I imagine Mihawk would have access through there. Don Krieg seems also a well prepared man going by the amount of weapons he used on Luffy... maybe he had something that allowed them to sail through the calm bet. Best explanation I can think of.

That makes no sense man. Don Krieg directly implies that he barely made it into the Grand Line. Mihawk met him early on and chased him out. How on earth would he have time to go to Mariejois and then exit? He left nearly at the same time that Krieg did.

And Krieg obviously didn't have sea stone imbued on his ship. It was rare even for Marine ships to have this. It's a plot hole.

I didn't say Krieg got to Mariejois. I said MIHAWK got to Mariejois. Since he was working with the marines, he'd have a way through there. We also don't know how much time passed since Krieg's defeat at the grand line and Mihawk's show up at the baratie.

I mean, it's pretty obvious he just escaped the Grand Line. His entire crew was starving to death and Krieg was still bandaged up from the damage he took on the Grand Line. Gin also speaks about the events as if they just happened and it was all a blur to him. We also know that Gin was captured by the Marines 3 days before the arc began, so it's likely they got him as they returned to East Blue and were weakened. Mihawk didn't have the time to travel to Mariejois, the only way that would've been possible is if Don Krieg was also near Mariejois when they met. It's more likely that Mihawk's ship had sea stone or else he was able to repel them with his Haki (Rayleigh swam through the calm belt unharmed). For Krieg there is no logical answer aside from Oda likely not having planned Reverse Mountain yet. It's made abundantly clear that you can't simply sail through the calm belt.

And where was it even mentioned that Mariejois linked to East Blue? As far as I know Mariejois is the official way to pass over the Red Line and go from the Grand Line to the New World. I don't ever recall it being stated you could laterally travel to the 4 seas from there.

I think it's possible that Mihawk simply acceased the Mariejois passage after defeating Krieg. We know Krieg's whole fleet was starving to death, then there could be some considerable time spearating Krieg's downfall at the Grand Line and Mihawk arriving at the Baratie again. And like you said, we don't need to go that far. Mihawk is pretty strong, I can see him fighting against the Calm Bet by himself, be it through Kairoseki or just his sheer strength.

As for Don Krieg, I've no idea. They should have been crushed and remained at the Grand Line. Oda had already planned the Red Line since he mentioned it beforehand, but maybe he wasn't thinking of it as a mountain.

It's funny that a fish man is 10x stronger than a human since birth and yet we have very few strong fishmen in comparison to humans, being Jinbei the strongest one.
