Dracule "Hawkeye" Mihawk is a fictional pirate from the anime and manga One Piece. He is a Shichibukai and the greatest swordsman in the world.
Appearance
Mihawk wears very decorative, ornate, black-and-red clothing. He wears a wide-brimmed hat decorated with a large plume, a long, black cloak, a cross pendant (which unsheathes a small dagger). a and carries a huge sword.
Personality
Mihawk is possibly one of the most serious characters in One Piece. Though he is the "swordsman above all the world's swordsmen", Mihawk remains grounded. Though he has obviously become jaded regarding the abilities of other swordsmen, he's not unable to recognize talent. In fact, his desire is to see Roronoa Zoro surpass him after having witnessed Zoro's incredible determination and will after their battle. He displays a sense of honor which other Shichibukai who have been introduced thus far seem to lack.
Enemies
In the past Mihawk was also a rival to one of the most powerful pirates in One Piece, Red-Haired Shanks, which also speaks volumes about his power, but ceased their rivalry after losing interest in fighting a one-armed man like him. [3] He still has a neutral relationship with the pirate and seems to know how to track him down if he has business with the pirate. He and Shanks do manage to get along, regardless of the fact that the two are opposites in personalities. Shanks is also able to get Mihawk to join in when he threw a party to celebrate Luffy's coming, even when moments beforehand Mihawk had scorned how laid-back Shanks was.
Having lost one rival in Shanks, he now shares a rivalry with Zoro and is prepared to wait to any lengths and fight Zoro at his strongest form. Mihawk seems to be watching out for Zoro's progression and is delighted when Zoro gains his first bounty as well as amused by the Straw Hats' victory over Sir Crocodile.
Abilities and Powers
| “ | I feel sorry for you weakling. Even the greatest swordsman won't fight me. Because they can estimate their power and compare it to mine. Your strong will that wants to challenge me, does it comes from your brave heart... Or your foolishness? -Mihawk's response when Zoro challenges him | ” |
Mihawk is the strongest swordsman in the world; a monster superior to monsters, as one character calls him. Because of his status and power, defeating him is Roronoa Zoro's ultimate goal.
Mihawk is so strong, in fact, he is accused by some characters, as well as some fans, of having the power of a Devil Fruit; however, in the databooks, his abilities appear to be simply pure skill and power.
Mihawk travels around in a coffin-shaped raft with two green-flamed candles, a single black sail, and a single seat. The fact that he can traverse across the unforgiving oceans, as well as the Grand Line itself, in such a meager craft is yet another testament to his abilities. His first demonstration of power was to defeat Don Krieg's fleet of 50 ships and 5,000 men by himself just before a storm strike.
“ It's still too early for you to die. My name is Dracule Mihawk! Discover your true self, the true world, become stronger! However long it may take, I shall await you at the top. Surpass this sword! Surpass me! Roronoa Zoro!!!
-Mihawk's challenge to Zoro
Weapons

He wields the Black Sword Kokutou Yoru, the strongest Sword in the world. It's an ornately decorated, man-sized (6 feet) sword shaped like a cross with a shiny black blade, which is curved at the end. It also seems to generate otherworldly purple streaks as it slices, as seen when he cut down Zoro and when he split Don Krieg's ship in half.[5] Yet as well as having the ability to use it to slice up entire fleets of ships, he is graceful with the blade enough to knock bullets and change their course with little effort. [6]
The cross pendant worn on his neck is actually a small dagger. Though it appears to have no value, in the hands of Mihawk, it was able to defeat Zoro.[7]















nd plays a major role as Roronoa Zoro’s ultimate goal. He appears first while the Straw Hat crew are at the Baratie, having pursued Don Krieg's armada from the Grand Line. Mihawk destroys Krieg's only remaining ship for the sake of his amusement. Roronoa Zoro challenges Mihawk but loses against Mihawk's 4-inch knife. Leaving Zoro with a huge scar on the front of his torso, Mihawk tells him he will await the day when Zoro can surpass his ability. Mihawk is next seen with Red-Haired Shanks on an island in the Grand Line, delivering Monkey D. Luffy's wanted poster, much to Shanks' delight. Mihawk's most recent appearance in the series has been a meeting between the World Government and the Shichibukai to discuss the Straw Hat Pirates, where it is implied that he has the worst attendance record of all the Shichibukai.

mous ship Thriller Bark. He is extremely large and has a devil-like appearance, but is also exceptionally lazy. This is reflected by his fighting style, as he prefers to lay back and let his own shadow, Doppelman, fight his battles for him. Moria ate the fictional Devil Fruit Kage Kage no Mi (Shadow Shadow Fruit), giving him control over his own shadow as well as the ability to steal the shadows of others. Moria can place a stolen shadow into a corpse, creating a zombie that is totally obedient to him. Moria fought on the same level as the Yonkou Kaidou, but his crew was slaughtered some time before the current story. This results in Moria's desire to create an army of zombies to fight for him, as they cannot be killed without the aid of salt.
