Dracule Mihawk

Stoic, serious, and solitary, Mihawk is as deadly and fearsome as the blade on his back. Rare to display any emotion other than his grim and dead-eyed stare, Mihawk has only been seen laughing twice so far in the whole series. He rarely smiles or shows evident surprise, taking most developments in stride, and seems allergic to showing emotion on the battlefield, even when something unexpected happens. That said, he is not someone particularly ambitious or cruel, despite his infamous reputation and skill, with his only goal in life to find someone worthy of being equaled or outmatched with a blade. Otherwise, Mihawk prefers living in peace and quiet. A lone wolf by nature, it is implied that Mihawk has trouble trusting others, something Crocodile has pointed out as a common trait between them both. Still, he appears to be fine with making company with people, such as Shanks and Perona, even if he can come off as cold, annoyed, and dismissive of them at times, indicating he prefers solitude to companionship. It is surprising to see him exhibit a sense of hospitality and grace to others given his gruff and serious demeanor, having (somewhat) tolerated Perona and Zoro's presence upon his return to Kuraigana Island right after the Summit War, going as far as relaying to Zoro the events that occurred concerning his captain, Luffy. In addition, he offered a boat to help the Straw Hat swordsman leave the island. He also told Perona to be safe when she decided to leave the castle to find her captain, Gecko Moria.[25] It is later shown that he personally let her go out of concern for her well-being due to him anticipating the Seven Warlords system being abolished so she would not be in harm's way. Mihawk is selective and whimsical when it comes to fulfilling his duties as a Warlord of the Sea, as evidenced by his history of poor attendance at summons, as well as his decision to hunt and harass some pirates over others.

Mihawk is a tall, lean, and muscular man with a fair complexion and short-cropped, jet-black hair that is slicked back, as well as a short beard, mustache, and sideburns that point upwards in a "V" shape. His nickname comes from his strangely colored eyes: red in the manga and yellow in the anime, which resemble a hawk's eyes due to the concentric ring present around each pupil. Mihawk wears black-and-red, ornate clothing with a golden (white in the manga) crucifix pendant that hides a little dagger, which gives him the appearance of a Spanish swordsman. His attire consists of a wide-brimmed black hat decorated with a large plume and a long, open black coat with a red velvet inside with no shirt underneath, with red, flower-patterned sleeves and collar. He wears white (light purple in the anime) pants held up by a decorated belt and tucked inside overly large boots in comparison to his leg size. Mihawk wears a kogatana around his neck, appearing as a golden cross-shaped necklace, which is a dagger that looks identical to its larger counterpart, Yoru, and carries his sword, Yoru, on his back when he is not using it. At his home in Kuraigana Island's castle, Mihawk sports different pants and an open white shirt with a ruffled neck. When he met up with Zoro outside, he had a plain dark cloak draped over his shoulders. After the timeskip, Mihawk shows some more wrinkles near the eyes. While reading about the Straw Hats' actions on Dressrosa and resulting new bounties, he was seen in his casual outfit along with a dark scarf draped over his shoulders and a wide-brimmed straw hat. After the abolishment of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Mihawk wore a black jacket with a golden flower pattern (replacing his signature red one). Twenty-four years ago, during Gol D. Roger's execution, Mihawk did not have his beard, nor did he wear his hat, and his hair was scruffier and shorter. He already had his crucifix pendant and sported what looked like a flower.
