Dracule Mihawk

Dracule Mihawk (ST03-005) was released in 2022 as part of the initial wave of the One Piece Card Game, specifically within the 'The Seven Warlords of the Sea' Starter Deck. This deck was designed to introduce players to the mechanics of the game by featuring key characters from the Warlords of the Sea faction, a group of powerful pirates aligned with the World Government in the source material. As one of the core character cards, this iteration of Mihawk serves as a fundamental piece for players beginning to build decks focused on the blue color archetype.

The card features artwork depicting the character in his iconic aesthetic, rendered to reflect his status as the world's greatest swordsman. In the context of the game's design, this card was intended to provide a high-power threat for early-game strategies, consistent with the aggressive and precise nature of the character as established by Eiichiro Oda. The release was met with enthusiasm from both competitive players seeking deck-building staples and collectors interested in the inaugural sets of the card game's launch.
