Dracule Mihawk is one of the mysterious characters inOne Piece. Being referred to as the “World’s Strongest Swordsman” and a former member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he is a solitary force in the pirate world with an iconic rivalry with Yonko Shanks. However, despite all this, there are persistent doubts amongOne Piecefans about whether or not Mihawk truly deserves his title and reputation.

The confusion has been further increased by the release of his Vivre card. As the card only showed the status of Armament and Observation Haki, fans are speculating about how a character without Conqueror’s Haki can hold the status of being stronger than Shanks.
The Emerging Doubts by the Vivre Card Details of Dracule Mihawk
As the “World’s Strongest Swordsman“, Mihawk’s status is backed by a fearsome amount of bounty and his mastery of both Armament and Observation Haki.@pewpiecehas recently shared the Vivre card details of this legendary pirate on X (formerly, Twitter).

Among the most fascinating parts of Mihawk’s character is thelong rivalry with Shanks, one of the strongest pirates in the world. The fact that Mihawk could go toe-to-toe with Shanks, who currently boasts an enormous amount of bounty, suggests that Mihawk’s strength is at least on par with that of a Yonko.
Despite his success records, Mihawk’s Vivre Card led some fans to question if he truly measures up to Shanks. After all, the card doesn’t explicitly state that Mihawk possesses Conqueror’s Haki, a power often associated with the most dominant figures in theOne Pieceworld.

this the guy that’s better than Shanks ? with no conquerors 😂😂😂😂
no CoC ? = MidHawk Confirmed 🤣🤣😂😂

No COC?😭Never ever compare this fraud with my GOAT again it’s insulting
Many fans find it hard to believe that Mihawk, who is seen as Shanks’ equal or even better, wouldn’t possess this powerful ability. This disparity leads to doubts about his titles, especially since Shanks’ mastery of Conqueror’s Haki is so impressive that he’s able to split the skies with it, as seen in his confrontation with Whitebeard.

“I’m not going to be able to make another long series”: One Piece is Eiichiro Oda’s Last and Final Love Letter to His Fans
However,One Piecefans who doubt Mihawk’s power because of his Vivre Card are unable to see the bigger picture. Eiichiro Oda has always been a master of unexpected twists, carefully unveiling the true strength of characters at just the perfect moment.

Even though Mihawk’s Vivre Card may raise some doubts, it would be foolish for fans to believeEiichiro Odaisn’t hiding Mihawk’s true power. Oda has a long history of hiding key details of characters before revealing them just at the perfect moment.

The fact that Mihawk has remained untouchable throughout the Story as of yet, speaks volumes about his power. Similarly, Oda is probably holding back on revealing all of Mihawk’s powers, including whether or not he has Conqueror’s Haki, until later.
He teaches Zoro about haki I’m sure mihawk has conqueror haki yet oda has to reveal in future
I’m guessing they’re not gonna reveal he has Conquerer’s until laterI highly doubt he was going toe to toe with Shanks without it
I think the reason why it’s said that mihawk doesn’t have conqueror’s is cuz it wasn’t shown like with shanks and the other users, I don’t see how he’s been said to be shanks’s rival if he doesn’t have conqueror’s
Imagine thinking they would reveal mihawk conqueror (if he has it) in a vivre card while even zoro’s doesn’t confirm he has it even if in the manga it was clearly shown he does have it.
Before Shanks lost his arm, their duels were legendary, and Mihawk even admits he has no interest in fighting Shanks anymore after the loss of his arm. This implies that their rivalry was built on an even setting, where both swordsmen were equally matched.
While it is unclear whether Mihawk has Conqueror’s Haki or not; one thing is clear: Mihawk is a formidable opponent to reckon with, and it shows by his legendary titles. As Zoro’s mentor and Shanks’ former rival, Mihawk’s story inOne Pieceis far from over, and underestimating him would be a grave mistake.
One Pieceis currently available to watch on Crunchyroll.
