Who is Dracule Mihawk in One Piece?

Mihawk is one of the strongest pirates in the world, claiming to be the "Strongest Swordsman in the World" in name and deed. He acquired fame even before the Great Age of Pirates by stopping ever-more-powerful enemies until he had no worthy rivals left. He now holds the title of world's strongest swordmaster.

Mihawk's bounty was increased to 3,590,000,000 Berries when the Seven Warlords of the Sea were disbanded, one of the biggest bounties in the world that even surpasses two of the current Four Emperors: Monkey D. Luffy and Buggy, is a real tribute to his incredible strength. He used to go by the name "Marine Hunter."

In addition to his skills in battle, Mihawk is a skilled cook who has spent the last two years preparing meals for himself and Perona. He is shown in the anime using his swordsmanship to cut vegetables with fantastic speed and accuracy while cooking.

In addition to his exceptional physical power, Mihawk also has blade mastery. He used a single knife that he clutched in his one hand to stop Zoro, a great swordsman with substantial physical strength. Mihawk can jump and leap great heights and distances, showing his incredible agility. He also has exceptional reflexes.

Swordsmanship

Because of his unmatched sword proficiency, Mihawk is called the "Strongest Swordsman in the World". Even his former rival, Shanks, one of the Four Emperors of the Sea, cannot match his extensive command of the sword. He used a single knife to easily defeat the famed swordsman Zoro, known across East Blue.

Mihawk's swordsmanship is incredibly versatile; he can use the "Strong Blade" swordsmanship to produce powerful compressed air slashes that can destroy enormous ships and icebergs from great distances. He can use the "Gentle Blade" swordsmanship to deflect the course of bullets with expert and refined precision.

Zoro significantly improved during his two years of training with Mihawk, which is more than the dojo had taught him throughout the many years he had learned there, demonstrating Mihawk's skill as a teacher. Further demonstrating Mihawk's expertise in battle and fighting, Zoro acknowledged that he still lacks his swordsmanship ability even after training with Mihawk.

Weapons

Mihawk's primary weapon is the "Black Blade" Yoru, one of the 12 Supreme Blades. Yoru is a curved, single-edged, black blade in the form of a latin cross. Its golden metal crossguard is embellished with red cabochons (blue and green ones appear in the anime). The hilt is covered in bandages with a huge cabochon at the end. He only uses this blade when accepting challenges for his title; otherwise, his Kogatana is sufficient. He reserves its use for those with the courage to command Mihawk's respect or the strength to pose a threat.

Additionally, Kogatana, a cross-shaped knife, is a pendant that Mihawk keeps around his neck. He is shown using it as a tool for eating, but when coupled with his exceptional sword abilities, it transforms into a devastating weapon that can take down even a great swordsman during combat. It is the tiniest blade he owns.

Haki

Mihawk has mastery over using Haki. He has taught Zoro; thus he is also a persuasive instructor. He is incredibly skilled at Kenbunshoku Haki, and he is capable of using Busoshoku Haki. He demonstrated how to use this kind of Haki to Zoro so that he could shield his swords from harm.
