01 / PROFILE

BEYOND THE WANTED POSTER

Hawk Eyes.

Dracule Mihawk is renowned as the greatest swordsman in the world and formerly serves among the Warlords of the Sea. Often traveling alone, he displays little interest in ordinary pirate theatrics. His encounters with Zoro transform an abstract ambition into a demanding standard with a recognizable face.

His restraint makes skill legible without constant explanation, while his recognition of determination suggests that mastery includes noticing potential rather than merely defending status.

02 / THE TECHNIQUES

Swordsmanship

Exceptional blade control allows precise movements with weapons of very different sizes.

Yoru

His black blade delivers immense sweeping strikes and far-reaching compressed slashes.

Armament Haki

He teaches Haki reinforcement as a vital foundation for protecting sword blades.

03 / THE JOURNEY

Moments that matter.

A small boat arrives

The measure of ambition

Zoro's challenge gives Mihawk reason to examine the resolve behind an otherwise wildly unequal contest of swordsmanship.
