Introduction

I've read wikia about Mihawk. It gives me new discovery of him. I was surprised that he speaks with French-Caribbean accent. It goes well with him, I suppose. Maybe he is so nice to sing a chanson.
In Japanese text, he usually speaks correct bookish Japanese decently with no local accent, no dialect, no jargon, no slang, no rough word. His words has no local color, but sometimes classical poetic tone like Poneglyphs.
I have no doubt that Luffy is world-widely same image, meat! meat!! meat!!! defeat!!! UTAGE DAAAH!!!!! But I am afraid Mihawk is so delicate to translate that his important aspect is not recognized world-widely. Mihawk in English seems to be more established than Mihawk in Japanese. He is sometimes a motif of Oogiri(comical quiz with wit) in the internet. He is familiar to Japanese fan as a Boke(fool) role character we can enjoy to make fun of him. 
I'm very happy and satisfied with polite description of him on the Wikia. Thus I would like to add my explanation. I'd like to link dots in a line. My line is different from yours as the constellation of the stars are depending on the culture, varies by language. My line I guess now before ending are not official regulation, but just my hypothesis. It is one of view, one of thought, one of interpretation, one of possibility. But it is One Piece, "Hitotsunagi no Daihihou", I wish we can find out our treasure.
I'll try to think about some aspects of Mihawk from 3 points of view, 体(Tai/Karada:body) as Ability, 技(Gi/Waza:skill) as Skill, 心(Shin/Kokoro:mind) as Personality & Relationship. I would like to see his words and behavior carefully with reference to Japanese classic/modern caluture before Wa-no-kuni. His behavior is very inconsistent and childish like Japan:-p
I think that Mihawk is the essence of One Piece. He is really strange, mysterious, other-worldly, but real.
He is like Mirror Pond in Temple of the Golden Pavilion garden.
Who can cut the water moon?
Or a shadow of own former self?
