– he’s named Dracule and im p sure like half his personality is vampire aesthetic
– his name’s “hawk eyes” mihawk like he couldn’t emphasize HAWK enough
– sails all manner of dangerous seas in a coffin-shaped (and sized) boat to fit the vampire aesthetic
– the boats like literally just a chair in a coffin. there’s no oars or sails. how’s he steer? he just sit there and hope for the best? he’s got nowhere to store food for long journeys. how’s he even use that boat?
– lives alone on a scary island in a castle surrounded by blood thirsty monkeys, almost definitely to fit the vampire aesthetic
– i’m p sure it’s like eternally cloudy there or smth. whole place is surrounded by ruined towns and creepy forests and no other people. what’s he even do out there? i bet he’s reading cheesy vampire novels.
– leaves home for a while, returns to find two people he barely knows have taken up residence in his absence, barely cares
– one of the two people who took up residence in Mihawk’s castle is a guy who’s life mission is to beat Mihawk, he just lets the guy stay
– guy’s got like no friends. the closest he’s got to friends is like. Perona and Zoro who just kinda showed up at his house and Shanks who he mostly seems to like. tolerate
– he seems to find the concept of friendship scary as he’s got a quote where he says he finds Luffy’s ability to easily make friends to be terrifying. mihawk wtf
– chased down a pirate armada across two seas to destroy it just because he’s bored
– carries around two weapons, one being a big black sword the size of him and the other being a butterknife-sized version of that sword which he fights others with JUST bc he can to show off
– “you don’t need a canon to hunt rabbits” and you don’t need to be this over-the-top but here we are
– the butter knife is usually stored as a cross-shaped necklace, definitely to fit the vampire aesthetic
– fights a dude with the butter knife of death, and after deciding he likes the guy during the fight, does the guy the honor of finishing him off via cutting him the fuck in half with the giant sword
– i don’t have a way to end this list and im probably missing something but i’d like to say i love dracule mihawk
(thank you to @ayotofu for assistance on this list)
this post recently passed 1000 notes, so there’s some stuff i need to say
– i Slightly misremembered Mihawk’s boat. that’s okay, everyone makes mistakes, and not a single one of you corrected me. however, it’s actually worse than i remembered. here’s why:
1) i was wrong about it not having a sail. instead, Mihawk’s boat had a mast which was made to resemble the hilt of his big sword, because Mihawk can’t do anything without it being incredibly edgy and extra.
2) in every appearance the sails have been rolled up. does he even use them or are they just for show. how does he use that boat
3) i was informed via tags by many people that Mihawk’s ship ALSO has two candles at the front with green flames. GREEN FLAMES. i’ve lived four peaceful years of my life having read the manga, not knowing this extra-ass fucker has two green candles on the front of his ship but now i know and there’s nothing i can do about it. how the hell did he even MANAGE that. i’m literally so pissed off about this. how do they stay lit when he’s on the water? how do they not just burn away, does he have extra candles stored somewhere? why are they green?
4) did i mention the boat is named the Coffin Boat? that’s it’s name, apparently.
– according to official manga coloring, Mihawk has red eyes. RED EYES. please stop this man
– speaking of eyes, the guy’s got bulls-eye patterned irises? he’s lucky they aren’t red, honestly, or else he’d have two targets for eyes.
– his facial hair. just look at it.
– he’s only laughed like twice in the whole series and im pretty sure he was laughing at Zoro both times
– despite being a powerful and terrifying swordsman, most of the time when he appears on cover pages he’s doing shit like farming and hanging out with baby bears
– on one of the covers he’s enjoying a nice meal with Jinbei, and he eats it using his butter knife of death. he’s likely killed people with that thing and he uses it to eat his food
– his hat
– at Marineford, Mihawk cuts an iceberg in half. he was aiming for Luffy, missed, and cut the top off an iceberg bigger than an entire fleet of battleships
– Luffy was probably the shortest dude at marineford and he’s stick-thin, Mihawk had no reason to make a cut like THIS
what was that about not needing cannons to hunt rabbits again?
– he wears nice shirts around the house at Kurigana but always goes out shirtless and in a cloak. sailing on the Grand Line and East Blue? shirtless. going to the biggest war of the century? titties out and ready for manslaughter
– he agrees to train Zoro for two years despite knowing that Zoro will one day use all that training to come back and kick his ass. he really has nothing better to do out there at his castle i guess?
– i once again have no idea how to finish off this list and still probably missed stuff, but i want to say i still absolutely fucking love Dracule Mihawk
-Reminder that he’s training Zoro because he wants a good rival again. Every other swordsman in the series? Not a good enough rival. What’s his standard of a good enough rival? Shanks before Shanks lost his arm. Like, that was it, his one rival in the whole world…and then Shanks went and lost his arm to save a little kid and Mihawk got annoyed since now Shanks isn’t as good a swordsman (despite Oda stating Shanks is much stronger now than he was when he lost the arm in his twenties). tl;dr: Mihawk’s mad at his ex rival and is training up a new rival just to spite his ex. Probably because, as noted, he does not understand friendship.
She’s often on the covers of vogue, marie claire and cosmopolitan
The media loves her and Cavendish’s public friendship, in reality its all fake and they both hate each other’s guts, but the public image has gotta stay intact so they do a lot of shoots and commercials together
Sends Luffy cupcakes every month since the day the set of the movie she was at that time working in caught fire and Luffy tried to help in plain clothes
obsessed with maccarons
She’s a bomb ass dancer and martial artist
Does all the stuns herself duh!
Buggy
I tried to come up with something myself but these hcs are actually quite perfect for Buggy
I’d only add that he dislikes Luffy since the day the set caught fire and Luffy barged in to ‘play hero’
Dracul Mihawk is like…the most serious stone-cold mf to roam the seas but I can’t shake this idea/hc of mine that he’s so down-to-earth and unfazed by literally everything that when Zoro and Perona went to live in the Gloomy Kingdom during 3D2Y, they discovered that he’s just weird. Like, not bad weird. But just…he’s so used to just doing things on his own that even though two other people are now in his castle his “by-myself” habits just really show.
Like, Zoro wakes up super early and expects to be trained but Mihawk slept in until like 1pm and when Zoro gets angry about it he’s just like “I train at night”
Perona is out in the halls and stumbles upon Mihawk in boxers and nothing else and he’s hauling laundry down and he just looks at her and says “Tuesday is laundry day”
After a rigorous training session he mysteriously disappears into his room for hours and when Zoro and Perona go to like talk to him about something they find him curled up in like fifty blankets bingewatching whatever the Grand Line equivalent is of Netflix.
Zoro comes back from training with the baboons to find an elaborate feast spread over the table for him and Perona and Mihawk is sitting at the end of the table eating Lucky Charms
Zoro and Perona make a bet to when Mihawk will get up from reading a book. They learn a lesson about patience and perseverance when Mihawk literally does not move from the chair for 8 hours.
Perona one weekend finds Mihawk sitting outside in the gloom of the castle in a lawn chair with a full cucumber/charcoal mask on, wearing a fluffy robe. He then indulges with her a conversation about the importance of vitality and skincare, before going inside and kicking Zoro’s ass.
You make a list of Weird Mihawk things, and you’re not even going to mention his bathroom?
Huge, windowless, stone room with double doors leading to a single giant toilet. No apparent light source other than the one from the doors, which would never creep in farther than the edge of the toilet because the external light source is fixed. No sink or shower or tub. Big ass rug because castles get cold and no one wants to have cold feet when they do their business.
That room is just for pooping. Decadently. And secretly. In the middle of the night.
Luxurious shame pooping.
HOW IN GODS NAME DID I FORGET ABOUT THIS I EVEN PAUSED IT AND STARED FOR LIKE A MINUTE THIS. THIS IS GOLDEN.
IT GOT FUCKING BETTER
IT GOT FUCKING BETTER
The weirdo also runs around the Grand Line in a jacket but when he’s home he wears a shirt that still shows most of his chest and abdomen, I’m certain people spread rumors about Mihawk that are like half true and he just neither confirms nor denies.
