About Dracule Mihawk
Dracule "Hawk Eyes" Mihawk is a world-famous pirate currently recognized as the strongest swordsman in the world.
Known as the "Marine Hunter" in his early career, Mihawk stood as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea (the first to be revealed and formally introduced) until the group's dissolution, and was for a time the sole human resident of Kuraigana Island. Since then, he has become a founding executive of the Cross Guild, alongside fellow ex-Warlord Crocodile.
Mihawk once led a renowned rivalry with Shanks, currently one of the Four Emperors. In turn, he is viewed as the ultimate opponent by Roronoa Zoro, who pursues his own dream of becoming the world's strongest swordsman. Though Mihawk easily won their first encounter, he grew to respect Zoro, and agreed to mentor him in further swordsmanship during the timeskip. Like the other ex-Warlords, Mihawk has been cloned by Dr. Vegapunk to create one of the Seraphim, S-Hawk, as part of a project to replace the Warlord system.
Due to his actions and role, Mihawk can be considered a supporting antagonist in the Baratie Arc and one of the major antagonists in the Marineford Arc, where he took part in the Summit War of Marineford on the side of the Marines, along with most of the other Warlords of the Sea.
