Dracule Mihawk, the World’s Strongest Swordsman, has long enthralled One Piece fans with his perplexing past and fierce rivalry with Shanks.

The course of events also fits, with Mihawk strikingly looking like Shakuyaku, former Empress of Amazon Amazon Lily, and Rayleigh. Fanning the fire, Mihawk considered Shanks to be his most prominent adversary at some dubious point previously, and it is almost certain to be associated with Roger Pirates.

Nonetheless, Oda, the series maker, has stayed quiet on Mihawk’s origins, and regardless of their similarities, neither he nor Rayleigh have indicated any familial link. Moreover, Mihawk’s single quest for swordsmanship flawlessness appears to be driven by his longings, independent of lineage. Even though Mihawk’s past remains shrouded in mist, he certainly does not disappoint his fans every time he appears on screen.

While the hypothesis of a Rayleigh-Shakuyaku connection adds a convincing layer of profundity to his personality, it has many unanswered questions. The truth will surface eventually assuming that Oda decides to reveal about him, regardless of whether confirmed or not, this hypothesis’ presence says a lot about Oda’s mind-blowing narration.

While the specific contents of the One Piece and its impact on the world remain covered in secret, its acknowledgment is without a doubt the central catalyst for the final saga.

The World Government might confront its definitive emergency, partnerships might disintegrate and change, and long-lethargic powers could ascend to challenge the new world order.
