S-Hawk is a formidable being created by the brilliant scientist Dr. Vegapunk in the world of One Piece. Seraphim, known as the “Strongest Form of Humanity,”are the race to which S-Hawk belongs. This clone of the renowned swordsman Dracule Mihawk, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, bears a striking resemblance to a young Mihawk, possessing a slender physique and similar facial features. Additionally, S-Hawk exhibits Lunarian characteristics such as brown skin, black wings, and white hair. A unique feature of S-Hawk is the tube on its right arm, containing green blood.

In addition, S-Hawk possesses remarkable swordsmanship abilities that are comparable to those of Dracule Mihawk. He has demonstrated his competence in facing powerful opponents such as Roronoa Zoro and the Blackbeard Pirates. Furthermore, S-Hawk’s swordplay is enhanced by his Pacifista-like traits, allowing him to unleash powerful laser blasts from his hands.

Remarkably, S-Hawk possesses an artificial version of the Supa Supa no Mi (Dice-Dice Fruit) that enables him to convert any body part into a sharp blade. This versatile ability, combined with his Lunarian fire manipulation powers, makes S-Hawk a highly formidable and versatile opponent.

S-Hawk’s Seraphim nature grants him enhanced physical resilience, allowing him to endure attacks from both Zoro and Kaku with minimal harm. Roronoa Zoro, a highly skilled swordsman, even acknowledged that S-Hawk appeared to possess more humanity than the original Mihawk.

Seraphim S-Hawk’s Role in the One Piece Storyline

S-Hawk’s first appearance was in the action-packed Wano Country Arc. He joined forces with other Seraphims to capture Boa Hancock on Amazon Lily. In the midst of this fierce encounter, S-Hawk engaged in a sword fight with the Blackbeard Pirates, impressively cutting off a large chunk of the island’s central mountain with his exceptional sword skills.

Later on in the ongoing Egghead Arc, S-Hawk was called upon by Sentomaru to protect Vegapunk’s highly esteemed research facility on Egghead Island. It was here that he came face to face with the renowned Straw Hat Pirates, engaging in a tense fight with the legendary Roronoa Zoro. Zoro quickly noticed the striking similarities between S-Hawk and his respected mentor, the illustrious Mihawk.

In the Egghead Arc, S-Hawk’s main purpose has been to serve as a major hindrance for the Straw Hats, determined to stop them from disrupting the World Government’s complex schemes. He has bravely battled alongside fellow Seraphims, including S-Snake and S-Shark, under the unwavering leadership of Sentomaru and later the elite CP0 agents of the World Government.

Even though S-Hawk has displayed his exceptional talents, he has not fully revealed the extent of his remarkable abilities. This is because his main priority has been to diligently follow orders and ensure the safety of the Egghead facility with unwavering dedication.
