As unexpected as it may seem, Dracule Mihawk appears on Elbaf Island in One Piece 1087. The swordsman challenges Akagami no Shanks to a duel after Shanks uses Kamusari, a deadly technique that leaves Eustass Kid almost lifeless. This news goes viral and stirs up the entire One Piece universe, including Mihawk. Being a skilled swordsman himself, Mihawk recognizes the technique as the very same one used by Gol D Roger, the former Pirate King.
Now part of the Cross Guild, a notorious group that poses a significant threat to the navy, Mihawk is known as a rival to Shanks the Red Haired throughout the One Piece universe. Some fans speculate that Mihawk might be able to defeat Shanks as the strongest pirate, due to the fact that he can do everything alone without a crew.
Mihawk made his first appearance at the beginning of One Piece, which is unique because powerful characters like him aren’t usually introduced that early on in a story. He first appeared in the Baratie arc and became known for his desire to be defeated by Roronoa Zoro. It was later revealed that Mihawk is an eternal rival of Shanks, who always accepts his challenges to a fight. Their battles are known to shake the entirety of the Grand Line and are even acknowledged by Whitebeard. However, the reason why Mihawk is always challenging Shanks remains a mystery. Speculations suggest that Mihawk acknowledges Shanks’ exceptional swordsmanship skills and level of strength. Furthermore, they’ve never had a clear winner or loser in their battles, making it even more intriguing.
In One Piece 1087, Mihawk unexpectedly shows up on Elbaf Island to try out Shanks’ Kamusari technique. Spoiler alert: Mihawk seems to be slightly overwhelmed in their duel and even spits out blood when he is struck by Kamusari. What happens in the fight between Mihawk and Shanks remains a mystery for now. Who will be the winner this time? We’ll have to wait for the official release of One Piece 1087 to find out.
In conclusion, One Piece 1087 reveals the intense rivalry between Dracule Mihawk and Shanks, two pirates with exceptional swordsmanship skills. The appearance of Mihawk on Elbaf Island adds a new twist to the story and leaves us wondering what will happen in their epic duel. Stay tuned for the official release of One Piece 1087 to find out more about the highly anticipated battle between Mihawk and Shanks.
