Deck Breakdown

The Leader "OP14-020 Dracule Mihawk" has a powerful effect: If there is a Character with a cost of 5 or more, you can rest 1 of your cards to set up to 3 of your DON!! cards as active. You can no longer play Character cards on that turn after using this effect. However, you can still use Events or effects from cards such as "OP14-029 Tashigi" to make the most of your DON!! cards. "OP14-039 Coffin Boat" is one card that isn't hurt by being rested by your Leader's effect. To maximize its advantage in a match, it's important to bring it out early in the game.

Play a character with a cost of 5 or more so you can use your Leader's effect. "OP14-033 Perona" not only prevents the opponent from resting up to 2 of their Characters with a cost of 5 or less [On Play], but [On K.O.] she also lets you rest one of your cards to play up to 1 Character with a cost of 5 or less from your hand. If possible, try to hold onto one of the DON!! activated by your Leader's effect to prepare for [Perona]'s [On K.O.].

After using your Leader's effect, you can no longer play Character cards that turn, but you can still play Events and Stages. "OP14-027 Shanks" and "OP14-037 For Fun" have especially good synergy with this strategy. When [Shanks] is rested, you can rest up to 1 of your opponent's Characters with 7000 base power or less. Use your Leader's effect to rest [Shanks], rest one of your opponent's cards, and set 3 of your DON!! as active! Use your active DON!! to play "OP14-037 For Fun" to then K.O. the opponent's Character that you rested.

Now let's play the 9-cost "OP14-119 Dracule Mihawk". When "OP14-119 Dracule Mihawk" becomes rested, up to 1 of your opponent's Characters with a cost of 9 or less cannot be rested until the end of your opponent's next End Phase. Use the Leader's Effect to rest it on the turn it is played, and stop your opponent's Characters in their tracks without leaving any openings.
"OP14-119 Dracule Mihawk" gets stronger the more copies of it you have. Its effect also activates if it is rested when attacking. You can attack with the "OP14-119 Dracule Mihawk" you played last turn, then any new ones you play can be rested through the Leader's effect, allowing you to stop several of your opponent's Characters.

"OP14-119 Dracule Mihawk" also has an [On Your Opponent's Attack] effect, allowing you to trash 1 card from your hand and effectively granting you +2000 extra defense as a Counter.
Additionally, because the Leader effect lets you activate DON!!, it works great for [Counter] Events. If you're struggling to defeat your opponent, use "OP14-119 Dracule Mihawk"'s effect alongside "OP14-036 Strive to Surpass me, Roronoa Zoro!!!" and block the opponent's attack!
