Dracule Mihawk

Known as "Hawk-Eye," Dracule Mihawk is the current holder of the title of World's Strongest Swordsman and one of the most feared and respected figures on the seas. A former Shichibukai and eternal rival of the Yonkou Shanks, the Red-Haired, he currently acts as the main fighting force of the Cross Guild organization, alongside Crocodile and Buggy. Mihawk wields Yoru, one of the twelve legendary supreme-grade swords (Saijo O Wazamono), and is one of the very few characters capable of forging a permanent Black Blade thanks to his absolute mastery of Armament and Observation Haki. Possessing a stoic, solitary personality and guided by a strict code of honor, he lived for years isolated in Kuraigana Castle, where he acted as the stern mentor of Roronoa Zoro—the young man he himself instigated to surpass him in search of a true challenge at the top of the swordsman world.
