Dracule Mihawk emerges during the Pirates Festival conflict alongside Boa Hancock as a member of the Seven Warlords. When the Marine Buster Call fleet attacks Delta Island, sparking a panicked retreat by pirates, he steps into the chaos. As Admiral Fujitora unleashes a meteorite strike, Mihawk cleaves the celestial mass into fragments after Zoro initially splits it, his razor-sharp precision averting further devastation. He then intercepts the fleeing Bliking Pirates, shearing off their ship’s bow with a single strike. Having neutralized the meteorite’s threat, Mihawk withdraws swiftly, his detached demeanor and allegiance to personal whims—rather than Marine or pirate factions—underscoring his actions. Throughout the turbulent battle for Gol D. Roger’s treasure, he operates as an enigmatic, neutral entity, with no elaboration on his history or motivations beyond his calculated interventions.
