The first of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to appear in the story, he is the world's strongest swordsman who stands at the pinnacle of all warriors. His aliases include 'Hawk-Eyes Mihawk,' 'The World's Greatest Swordsman,' and 'Marine Hunter.' Age: 43 Height: 198cm He is characterized by pale skin, black hair, a well-groomed mustache and sideburns that form a distinct hook shape, and sharp eyes with unique patterns that earned him the nickname 'Hawk-Eyes.' His attire consists of a large hat with a feather, a long coat of red (yellow in the final saga) and black with paisley-like patterns on the lining and sleeves, white tight pants, and long boots—an appearance reminiscent of Western high society. On his back, he carries the 'Yoru,' one of the Supreme Grade Black Blades. Between the sword's cross-guard and the coffin-shaped boat he used upon his debut, his silhouette resembles a giant cross, radiating an eerie sense of intimidation. Additionally, the rosary he wears around his open chest—both when traveling and in casual wear—is actually a hidden dagger. He uses this weapon to deal with 'weaklings' not worth drawing Yoru for. He is always calm and collected, rarely shaken by anything. He judges events and situations accurately and acts according to his own will. He is described as having a temperament that does not easily trust others. While he usually maintains a poker face and remains expressionless regardless of the situation, he is actually quite bellicose.
