I mean, the author asked for how the readers wanted the MC to develop, and the majority voted for a 'selfish' character. Now I personally think it's a bad call for an author to put something as important as the main character's personality to a vote, but if you're going to do it, you might as well follow through.

Pretty sure the plan is to be put into Impel Down.

Breaking the Barrier fruit ability requires really strong Haki. To note, even someone as strong as Oden couldn't break the barrier of the fruit user before Bartolomeo.

I assume you meant kilometers? 50 meters is pretty pathetic for a combined attack by two of the top powers in the world.

He doesn't actually experience what he does in the simulator, he just gets a summary and the reward. His actual combat experience is still pretty limited.

There's a difference between being able to distort space due to speed, and being able to effectively hurt a person through a projected illusion, which is what Kamui essentially is (the physical body is safely in the Kamui dimension, while an image exists on the other side until he chooses to manifest it).

Given he's finally in an all-out battle, shouldn't he have gotten drops from the people he killed just now?

And I think you're assigning a lot more meaning to the phrase and projecting your expectations. There are cases where people have literally joined their parents' killers for the sake of profit, let alone in this case where Mihawk is joining an organization that is living proof of the failure of the people he hates, while also benefiting from it in a way that lets him thumb his nose at them as well. That you can't accept it is really on you at this point.

Again, joining the Shichibukai makes you a privateer, it doesn't equate to joining the Marines. If anything, it's something to do as a pirate if you hate Marines. Being a Shichibukai means to be a living example of the failure of the Marines. Someone with 'deep seated hatred' would absolutely join it just for that, to say nothing of the numerous advantages of being a Shichibukai which would *also* be relevant, and would have served as a reason to join even if joining the Shichibukai equated to joining the Marines - which it doesn't.
