Mihawk is mostly very serious. He rarely smiles, and he has only been seen laughing twice so far. He displays a sense of honor as he recognizes and respects the swordsman's code. Although Mihawk is normally passive when dealing with others, he can come off as rather blunt and cold at times. In spite of his apathetic behavior, Mihawk is capable of showing care and compassion. Although Mihawk spends most of his time alone, he is fine with making company with people, such as Shanks and Perona.
