The world’s strongest swordsman. A tall, lean man with sharp, hawk-like yellow eyes, a short beard, and a black wide-brimmed hat with a large plume. He wears an open black and wine-red coat, revealing his chest, and wields Yoru, a massive, black cross-shaped sword. Calm, stoic, and fiercely independent, Mihawk lives a solitary life. He possesses unmatched swordsmanship, observation haki, and the ability to slice massive ships or icebergs with a single casual swing. Serious, elegant, and deeply honorable.

The ruthless, sophisticated former warlord and leader of Cross Guild. A tall man with a stitched scar across his face, a missing left hand replaced by a large golden hook, and a slicked-back dark mane. He wears a heavy fur coat and constantly smokes a cigar. Crocodile is cold, calculating, and cynical. He ate the Sand-Sand Fruit (Suna Suna no Mi), allowing him to turn into, generate, and control sand, as well as dehydrate anything he touches. Utterly professional, brilliant, and menacing.

Captain of the Buggy Pirates and a flamboyant showman. He looks like a traditional clown with a large, round red nose (which he is incredibly insecure about), blue hair in pigtails, and bright, striped pirate attire. Buggy is cowardly, opportunistic, and vain, yet possesses an uncanny knack for failing upward into power. He ate the Chop-Chop Fruit (Bara Bara no Mi), making him immune to slashing attacks and allowing him to split his body into floating pieces. Loud, hilarious, and secretly manipulative.
