Speculations Mihawk & Imu Conection Solved. Mihawk is "Nerona" Confirmed?

In this case, it means both things actually. Draculea (Dracula) means both the son of the Dragon and the son of Dracul (the devil).
It means Dragon in a more direct way because Vlad II was part of the Societas Draconistarum, with Vlad III's father being part of the organization.
However, it also means son of the Devil because Vlad Tepes' father was actually named/called "Vlad II Dracul" which literally means/evolved to mean Devil in Romanian. His ruthless and more sadistic methods of killing and punishing people also lead to this 'son of the devil' monicker.
On top of that, the biblical book of Revelations uses the image of a red dragon to depict the devil and his minions.
It's basically historical context VS modern connotation. And knowing Oda, I firmly believe that we should keep in mind both options. Especially the one that makes more sense (Devil) since you know, imo, I don't personally seeing Mihawk being "the son of the Dragon" going anywhere.

The Dragon is what they call the Devil a few times in the Bible @Blax Blah can correct me.
Revelation 12:9 - And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
BTW, Leviathan is mentioned in the Bible, and he may or may not be the devil, there's some stuff about it in Job, but
There is a painting named "the destruction of Leviathan"
And a panel of Luffy vs Kaido parallels it
Also Leviathan is called the dragon that is in the sea
And Kaido was theorised to have the fish fish fruit

Romanian wiki calls him Vlad Dracul, not the translation of Vlad the impaler

Well if I'm honest, I don't believe that Imu even had to exist in this story. By itself, his existence seems to me like a way to tie shit together unnecessarily and make a bigger, classic narrative at the expense of a more unique and less cliched story. Long story short, this is why the Matrix sequels sucked ass.
I think Mihawk as a rival to both Shanks and Zoro is enough and now he's also the strength of a Yonko almost singlehandedly. So I don't care either way about a tie to Imu, but I will say it's a pretty considerable coincidence that the quintessential cross wielding European swordsman shares this distinct feature with none other than the devil.
