History Characters / OnePieceSevenWarlordsOfTheSea

* BadassInANiceSuit: His attire isn't as impressive as Crocodile's, but it's still worthy of showing that Mihawk is the greatest swordsman in the world. If the whole Warlord of the Sea thing doesn't work out, he could always go look for work in the next installment of ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean''.

* HeroicWillpower: [[spoiler:What else can you call a will that supersedes even his individuality and mind being erased? Kuma's devotion to Bonney results in him flying to her rescue, powering through the marines and giving a Haki-enhanced blow to St. Jaygarcia Saturn of the five elders. You can tear him down, turn him into a soulless machine, but Kuma's willpower will always rise above for the sake of his daughter.]]

* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: Mihawk's entire philosophy on fighting, and swordsmanship in particular, is using only as much force as you need to get the job done, and not an ounce more. When he fights Zoro in the East Blue, he only uses a six-inch knife and is able to best Zoro's three-sword style effortlessly. He decides to go all out on Zoro only after the latter has proven to be a WorthyOpponent.

* FantasticNuke: In his devastating "Ursus Shock" attack, by condensing air pressure into a tiny sphere, Kuma can release the sphere which will rapidly expand, creating a concussive force as massive as an entire ''island''. Something of note is that in the anime, the sound of a siren is heard when Kuma makes the Ursus Shock akin to warning systems for missile attacks. Flashbacks show that his usage on Thriller Bark isn't even him ''trying'', he doesnn't want to kill anyone present. When Kuma does Ursus Shock with real killing intent behind it, he can wipe out entire ''armies'' and reduce fleets to blazing ruin in seconds.

* ExactWords: After sending most of the Straw Hats flying at Sabaody, he tells Luffy they will not meet again. This is later revealed to be due to him sacrificing his humanity [[spoiler:to cure Bonney and not being able to truly interact with Luffy or anyone else ever again]].

* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: Subject to an especially cruel example Post-TimeSkip. With his personality and free will removed, the World Nobles use him as a mount, forcing him to crawl on all fours while they do things like stick blades in him for fun.]]

* {{Foil}}: To Moria. It's especially apparent in their MirroredConfrontationShot [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vonPZpu6TE4/maxresdefault.jpg here]]. They are equal in height but Kuma is top heavy and has very small legs while Moria is bottom heavy. Moria dressed very flamboyantly while Kuma dressed simple. Moria is a broken PerpetualSmiler while Kuma is TheStoic and the emotionless. At the time of their meeting, the World Government had little faith in Moria while they trusted Kuma almost completely due to his programming. Moria's power seems very flashy and scary but suffers from a major WeaksauceWeakness (salt) and he himself is dependent on his shadow collection and zombie army; Kuma meanwhile is a OneManArmy with his [[StoryBreakerPower surprisingly broken power]] to push things and [[HollywoodCyborg cyborg augmentation]]. During the fight with the Straw Hats, Moria constantly mocked them and was defeated; Kuma meanwhile play the role of NoNonsenseNemesis and defeated them easily (both times). Later during the Summit war, Moria was TheLoad on the government's side while Kuma and his Pacifistas effectively turn the tide of the battle against the pirates.

* ImplacableMan: He's NighInvulnerable after all. The Straw Hat Pirates were unable to touch nor hurt him, let alone stop.

* LeapOfFaith: [[spoiler:He never finds out that Luffy is the current incarnation of Nika. However, the fact that Luffy is a man with rubber-like properties who opposes the oppression of the World Government and the fact that he dared ''to punch a Celestial Dragon'', in the defense of a fishman no less, is enough to convince Kuma that Luffy will be the one who will eventually save the world, right before he saves him and his crew by pushing them away from danger]].

* FatalFlaw: Kuma doesn't value his own life ''at all'', and [[TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth neglects his own health and needs to the point he actually needs other people (like Ginny) stepping in to prevent him from giving too much of himself to others]]. [[spoiler: When he makes the DealWithTheDevil with the World Government, he is all too happy that the only price he will have to pay for curing Bonney is his own life]].

* BigDamnReunion: [[spoiler: He finally reunites with Bonney during the Egghead arc and she exchanges a few final words with him, before he succumbs to a HeroidRROD]].
