Mihawk Dracule

Mihawk Dracule, also known as Hawk-Eyes, Strongest Swordsman in the World and Marine Hunter, is a character from the One Piece series.
== Charactah Account ==
The first of the Seven Warlords to be formally introduced, with his appearance marking their very first mention in the story, Dracule Mihawk currently carries the title of the "Greatest swordsman in the world." Unlike practically every other pirate and even the other Warlords, he is a loner, sailing the seas in a small boat and never interacting with others unless absolutely necessary. He is said to have had a rivalry with Shanks and has dueled with him in the past, with the duel being truly legendary. It is Zoro's ultimate goal to defeat him, and after seeing his warrior spirit, Mihawk urged Zoro to become stronger and surpass him one day. Despite the fact he has unfathomably strong and nearly incontestable skills, he is a reclusive man who prefers solitude, and only comes to meetings at Navy Headquarters when his interest is piqued by something or it is mandatory. He is also the only member of the Warlords who does his job the most honestly and dutifully, attacking nobody but other pirates who antagonize the World Government and rarely, if ever, showing disobedience or engaging in deceitful activities.
Mihawk is mostly very serious. He rarely smiles, and he has only been seen laughing twice so far. He took the revelation about Luffy being Dragon's son in stride, despite the surprise of those around him. He never unnecessarily reveals emotions on the battlefield, even when something unexpected happens (such as Jozu intercepting his flying slash aimed at Whitebeard, or Luffy surviving his onslaught).
He displays a sense of honor as he recognizes and respects the swordsman's code and he even permitted Roronoa Zoro the luxury of training at his hand for his dedication and selflessness. He is also unafraid to reference his title of "Strongest Swordsman in the World" in relation to himself, indicating a high level of confidence in his own abilities. He takes pride in his swordsmanship, believing that a nick on his sword is a blemish to his pride.

== Trivia ==
* Mihawk is the only Warlord of the Sea whose original frozen bounty has not been revealed yet.
* Mihawk currently has the highest bounty of anyone who is not a member of the Four Emperors.
** In addition, Mihawk is the first and currently only character whose bounty surpasses that of a superior within a pirate organization. In this case, President Buggy of the Cross Guild, whose current bounty value is 401,000,000 lower.
* Mihawk is the only Warlord to never be featured on the cover of a volume so far.
* While it was stated Mihawk clashed against Shanks several times, their only duel that was actually seen so far in any media is in the game One Piece: Unlimited Cruise 2. It was used as an intro for both of them as bosses.
* On Mihawk's character poster for Grand Battle! that appears when he is unlocked, his name is spelled "Mihark".
* In all the Japanese fan polls of most popular characters from the 1st to the 6th, Mihawk was ranked the 14th, 13th, 8th, 12th, 23rd and 22nd, respectively.
** In the first four fan polls he is ranked as the most popular Warlord.
** In the 6th Japanese fan poll results announcement, he was mistakenly omitted from his 22nd place, making every character that followed him (23rd onward) rank one place higher.
* In the Funimation dub, when he makes his speech to Zoro, he uses his epithet instead of his real surname.
* Mihawk's favorite drink is red wine.
* Mihawk and Im are the only characters shown to have double-layered irides.
* Mihawk's original epithet as "Marine Hunter" mirrors that of Zoro's, the "Pirate Hunter". Ironically, Zoro would go on to become a pirate himself after earning his title, while Mihawk, as a Warlord, became an agent of the World Government, much like the Marines.
* Mihawk shares his birthday with Shanks (March 9th).
