Speculations Demons in one piece?

#1
Seeing the viz translation of Zoro's interaction with S-Hawk made me think of this.



Zoro: "Now that I get a better look at you.....You're actually a little more human than him."


The "him" here is likely referring to the original Mihawk, when read in context.

What could this mean?
I think we can rule out personality/emotions.......because Mihawk has shown emotions plenty of times even tho he's the stoic type.
It could also just be Zoro hyping up Mihawk's strength as inhuman/monstrous.


But. Let's consider the possibility that Zoro is talking literally about Mihawk's humanity.
So, then Mihawk isn't human? I'm thinking maybe it's something relating to "hawk eyes" here, which we have seen only from Imu and "Hakuba".

Mihawk's "hawk eyes" are quite unique, something which has been emphasized multiple times throughout the series.
Imu and Hakuba also have similar eyes. The panel with Imu also focused pretty much entirely on his eye.


Hakuba's eyes:

Imu's eyes:

Mihawk's eyes:


I say they are demon/devil !!
Imu and Mihawk are actual demons existing in OP. While Cavendish is a human who is hosting a demon spirit.


Imu, the king of the world and secret ruler of the celestial dragons, is also the counterpart of the Sun God Nika - A demon being the counterpart of the Sun God.
It is said that the greatest trick the devil pulled is convincing the world that it doesn't exist - and Imu is a secret only known to Gorosei, he is very fitting of this description.

"Dracule" Mihawk - dracula, a demonic name. Ironically carries a cross with him, travels on a cross shaped boat etc.
There is enough symbolism suggesting something demonic about him.



What is "Hakuba" ? It is implied as a demonic persona of Cavendish. That is clearly not just some "personality" of Cavendish, because his powers are far exceeding that of Cavendish.
When Hakuba was first introduced, he showed what was likely the greatest speed feat in the series at the time (bar Kizaru I suppose). Moving so fast that he finished off like 50 fighters within few seconds, creating a tornado through pure speed. Even Sabo was shocked at how fast Hakuba was.
Nobody else in the colosseum even realized what had happened.

Here is Hakuba covering miles of distance within like 1 or 2 seconds! To put in perspective, Robin has been running up that mountain forever.

I say, this strength and speed is from the demon spirit that is co-existing with Cavendish, and takes over his body when he sleeps.

Face it, I won't lie but I have doubts if Oda purposely hid and didn't emphasize Kaidou's race in order to explore later, or if he truly went insane and didn't care about this aspect. Kaidou and Yamato are the only ones shown so far in One Piece, we don't even know their origins or if there are many out there, it seems to be an extinct race to be honest, and several times Zoro is associated with demons, which could mean that he may not be purely a demon but part of his blood is from one, this explains his enormous resistance.

I think you are overthinking on demons parts.
‘I say mihawk meant be more ruthless cold killer machine . But mihawk express more emotions like laughter.
Sanji and Mihawk parallel demon themes lets go:finally::finally:


on serious note, i think Mihawk could be vampire rather than Demon. IF he is not human

Zoro's comment on being more human than Mihawk might referring on his monstrous strength

I recognize that it could likely be about power, like I mentioned in the post itself.
I am just exploring another possibility here.

I don't think it is about persona/emotion, because Mihawk showing emotions isn't really too uncommon.

It's hard to be less human than almost a mindless robot but Mihawk was always cold indeed.
Aside from some moments during TS with Zoro and Perona, he is usually very cold.
"All things are brought into this world through desire."
Those eyes are either traits of a special race or manifestations of desire, like Zoro's Demon god.

But like you said, Mihawk has shown expressions/emotions in front of Zoro - excitement, laughter, surprise, disappointment etc.
Should be plenty more during the 2 years TS.

So, I don't think it is about being expressive.

Are we even sure that Mihawk is literally a human? What is with the eyes that is similar to Imu or Hakuba?

I don't think Hakuba has any particular desire, strong enough to manifest. Interesting also is that Hakuba has a demonic appearance

I've thought about it as well.

Another interesting assumption is that the reason why Mihawk and Imu have the same colour of eyes as opposed to Cavendish/Hakuba is that they have mastered these demons and have them completely under control.


Hakuba's eyes were yellow in the Manga.
Ohh, is Mihawk's eyes red in manga?
Is that the official colouring?

I thought they were yellow, since that was how it was shown in the anime.

I think those ringed eye mean someone is possessed by another spirit/demon. Kind of like Hakuba.

Imu and Mihawk will also be possessed by spirits but they will be in control of their powers unlike Cavendish.

And, of course, its likely that Zoro is also going to get the same treatment when he opens his left eye:

Look at hakuba's demonic smile:



Now look at Zoro's Demonic smile all the way back in Enies Lobby, when he cut the train:


His left eye has also highlighted during the same arc:


This is also the same arc where he showed Asura, a demonic spirit:


Its very likely Zoro's other eye is going to be a ringed eye, like Mihawk and Imu.

The only questionable thing is why its only one eye that is affected and not both.

If Mihawk is a demon/vampire wouldn't S-Hawk show those traits as well? Or maybe S-Hawk is too young to master or show those powers?
