   How the Cross Guild Bounty System WorksReversed Roles: The organization places price tags on the heads of Marine officers, ranging from ordinary soldiers up to high-ranking Admirals.Star and Crown Values: Instead of standard numerical Berries printed cleanly on the poster, Cross Guild uses a symbol system. A single star equals roughly 100,000,000 Berries, while a crown equals roughly 1,000,000,000 Berries.Open to Everyone: Bounties are not restricted to rival pirates. Ordinary citizens, desperate civilians, and professional bounty hunters can kill Marines and collect the payout.Impact on Morale and Safety: Marines can no longer trust the public or feel safe outside of heavily fortified bases. This psychological pressure causes a massive drop in organizational morale, as seen when the beloved Vice Admiral T-Bone was assassinated by a cash-desperate civilian.Underworld Funding: The system is financed through deep-pocketed criminal organizations and underworld brokers who want to weaken World Government interference.

   The Cross Guild is a powerful New World crime syndicate and military organization founded by former Warlords Sir Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk, with Buggy the Clown serving as its public figurehead "President". Because of a comedic misunderstanding by Buggy's subordinates, the World Government mistakenly views Buggy as the true mastermind, naming him one of the Four Emperors (Yonko).How It WorksThe Founders: Crocodile provided the initial financial backing and planning, while Mihawk supplied unmatched combat power.The Bounty System: Instead of just running standard pirate raids, Cross Guild turns the tables on the World Government by placing massive monetary bounties on Marines using a star and crown system.Underworld Backing: The bounties are funded and supported by hidden criminal underworld organizations rather than the syndicate alone.Key MembersBuggy: The face of the organization, valued for his massive charisma and the blind loyalty of his followers, though he is physically the weakest of the top three.Sir Crocodile: The operational brain who manages the group's grand ambitions and resources.Dracule Mihawk: The muscle and strongest combat asset, preferring a quiet life until dragged into leadership.Subordinates: Includes former Buggy’s Delivery staff like Alvida, Galdino (Mr. 3), Mohji, Cabaji, and Daz Bonez (Mr. 1).Current GoalsBuilding a Utopia: Initially intended as a secure military-backed haven to rival the World Government.The One Piece: Prompted by Buggy's passionate speech, the organization officially entered the race to find the ultimate treasure against Luffy, Shanks, and Blackbeard.The Cross Guild is a powerful organization in One Piece founded by Sir Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk. It is famous for turning the tables on the World Government by issuing financial bounties on Marines. Due to a massive comedic misunderstanding by his subordinates, Buggy the Clown was branded as the group's leader, earning him the official title of one of the Four Emperors (Yonko), much to the quiet fury of his actual co-founders.Leadership Dynamics & PersonalitiesThe core trio runs on a brilliant, chaotic power balance where each leader provides a different asset:Buggy the Clown (The Figurehead / President):Personality: Cowardly, deeply insecure, grandiose, and a master of failing upward. Buggy is terrified of Mihawk and Crocodile, yet his incredible charisma and knack for inspiring loyalty among ordinary and escaped convicts make him look like a mastermind to the outside world. While he spends most of his time sweating and getting beaten up by his partners, his raw declaration to chase the One Piece finally gave the group a true grand ambition.Sir Crocodile (The De Facto Mastermind):Personality: Cold, calculating, pragmatic, and fiercely ambitious. Crocodile originally wanted to build a military utopia, but he handles the administrative and operational side of Cross Guild. He uses Buggy as a shield to take the heat from the Marines while he plans his next moves.Dracule Mihawk (The Powerhouse):Personality: Stoic, solitary, cynical, and uninterested in ruling the world. Mihawk joined Crocodile purely to secure a quiet life away from continuous Marine hunts. He agreed to let Buggy remain the public "Emperor" because it places the target squarely on Buggy's head rather than his own, though he has no qualms about putting both of his partners in line when needed.Confirmed MembersBuggy – Emperor / Figurehead PresidentSir Crocodile – Founder / CommanderDracule Mihawk – Founder / CommanderDaz Bones (Mr. 1) – Crocodile's loyal powerhouse right-hand man from Baroque Works.Galdino (Mr. 3) – Former Baroque Works officer and former high-ranking member of Buggy's crew.Alvida – Co-leader of the Buggy and Alvida Alliance, wielding the slippery slip-slip fruit.Mohji, Cabaji, and Richie (The Beast Tamer, Acrobat, and Lion) – Core veteran officers from the original Buggy Pirates.

   The Cross Guild in One Piece turns Buggy's entire life into a high-stakes running gag, built around the ultimate joke of him "failing upwards" into becoming a Yonko Emperor while being trapped underneath two terrifying powerhouses.Buggy's Accidental LeadershipThe Wanted Poster Mistake: Buggy’s own over-enthusiastic subordinates design the official Cross Guild promotional poster with Buggy dead-center like a supreme boss, making Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk look like his literal underlings.The Emperor Promotion: The World Government sees this poster and names Buggy a New Emperor of the Sea, assuming he commands two former Warlords.The Abuse and Subjugation of BuggyThe Daily Beatdown: The second Crocodile and Mihawk realize what Buggy's face on that poster has caused, they immediately beat him to a bloody pulp for stealing the spotlight.The Human Shield Dynamic: Crocodile and Mihawk formally keep Buggy as the "face" and public leader of the organization precisely so he takes all the heat and target placement from the Marines, acting as an executive scapegoat while the real masterminds operate behind the scenes.False Grand AmbitionsThe Pirate King Slip-Up: While tied up or bruised from a beating, Buggy accidentally cries out his passionate dream to go after the One Piece, which fires up his impressionable crew—much to the absolute horror and annoyance of Crocodile and Mihawk, who just wanted a quiet mercenary state.

   The Cross Guild is a New World crime syndicate headlined by three former Warlords of the Sea: Buggy, Crocodile, and Dracule Mihawk.[1] It was founded by Crocodile and Mihawk and absorbed Buggy's Delivery as collateral for past debts. Buggy himself, unwittingly publicized as its leader by overeager crewmen, now serves as the figurehead "president,"[2] for which the World Government recognizes him as one of the current Four Emperors.[1]

   Crocodile intended for the organization to recreate his previously failed "Operation Utopia" campaign, but following Buggy's declaration to surpass his fellow Emperors and become Pirate King, the Cross Guild has joined the race for the One Piece.[3]Jolly Roger Reflecting its "joint" leadership, the organization's Jolly Roger[4] combines Buggy's, Crocodile's, and Mihawk's respective insignia:

   The central skull is essentially recycled from Buggy's Delivery, bearing Buggy's signature nose, makeup, and bicorne hat. Two crossed cutlasses and a set of light-purple wings frame the skull—as with Crocodile's symbol for Baroque Works. Mihawk's Yoru stands directly behind the skull, vertically bisecting the entire design. Overview A poster advertising the Cross Guild. A poster advertising the Cross Guild.

   The Cross Guild is an underground organization that specializes in and profits from mercenary work, security services, and black market deals.[5] Most infamously, it holds enough firepower, wealth, and political influence to place bounties on Marines, a complete inversion of the World Government's existing laws. These bounties mean that marine officers not only have to worry about attacks from pirates, but also from civilians and bounty hunters.[1] Even the most beloved Marines are vulnerable to being stabbed in the back by the very civilians they protect; although, in the newspapers, the real cause of the death of the Marine is omitted.[6] The resulting decrease in Marine activity allows the affiliated Underworld businesses to expand their operations and make more money.[5]

   Although Buggy is publicized as the Guild's highest leader and responsible for many material contributions, in reality he serves primarily as a figurehead. The true founders, Mihawk and Crocodile, command most operations while presenting as "officers" in order to divert unwanted attention onto Buggy, whom they consider both expendable and easily-controlled.[2]

   Bounty System Further information: Bounties/List#Bounties issued by Cross Guild on Marines Wanted posters issued by Cross Guild. Wanted posters issued by Cross Guild.

   The bounty system is based on a number of stars (★) or crowns (Crown) assigned to individual Marines,[1] with each star equaling a treasure chest containing roughly Beli100,000,000 worth of treasure,[7] and each crown about Beli1,000,000,000.[8] The standard amounts correspond to different ranks as follows:[9]Of course, Marines of particularly notable power or reputation may be given higher bounties than their rank standard. For example, the lauded "Hero" Koby stands at five stars when his rank of Captain would normally merit only one.[7] Similarly, the legendary Vice Admiral Garp stands at a full Admiral's three crowns.[8]

   Strength The Cross Guild is recognized as a dangerous organization with a lot of power and influence, to the point of receiving funding from many Underworld organizations. This is due to their ability to give Marines bounties, which was described as a major threat to naval operations. Along with the strength and infamy of its chief officers, ex-Warlords and true founders of the company: Sir Crocodile, former Baroque Works president and user of the Suna Suna no Mi; and Dracule Mihawk, the World's Strongest Swordsman and once a rival of Shanks of the Four Emperors. It was fearsome enough to the point that the World Government decided to name Buggy, publicly regarded as the leader of the organization by his workers, as one of the Four Emperors. Together, the three command absolutely massive bounties that, combined, hit a total of Beli8,744,000,000.[10]

   Indeed, as Sengoku and Tsuru noted, the betrayal coming from civilians may very well destroy the Marines' morale in the long run.[6]

   Among the ranks of the Cross Guild are the members of the Buggy Pirates and former Baroque Works Officer agents Daz Bonez and Galdino, the latter proclaiming himself as Crocodile's subordinate once more, as well as multiple Impel Down ex-convicts and former Buggy's Delivery employees who are fervently loyal to Buggy.

   The Big Top Blaster is Cross Guild's flagship. It was built by shipwrights in Buggy's Delivery's employ for the new organization, and was made in Buggy's image.

   History Wano Country Saga Wano Country Arc After the Levely voted to outlaw the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Crocodile proposed a new syndicate to Mihawk, who had grown tired of renewed attacks from the Marines. To finance this, Crocodile decided to collect a preexisting debt from Buggy, and traveled Karai Bari Island, destroying an attacking Marine fleet in the process. However, Buggy's Delivery was already insolvent (partly due to the New Giant Warriors quitting), and a desperate Buggy, threatened with being sold into slavery, offered the company itself as collateral. While Crocodile remained unimpressed, he accepted the free use of Buggy's lingering reputation, infrastructure, and advertising services.[11]

   Final Saga Egghead Arc Crocodile and Mihawk confront Buggy over his "leader" status. Crocodile and Mihawk confront Buggy over his "leader" status.

   Unaware that Crocodile and Mihawk were meant to be the new syndicate's actual leaders, Buggy's employees were completely enamored with the prestige of their captain supposedly winning over two former Warlords, and created a pamphlet featuring their captain as the main leader and distributed it in the papers. It was around the world before Buggy even saw what his crew did, with Crocodile and Mihawk enraged for the insult, and the two beat Buggy within an inch of his life for the perceived defiance. As a result, the World Government mistook Buggy for the leader and named him one of the new Four Emperors. Despite their fury over being labeled underlings of a man they saw as beneath them, both Crocodile and Mihawk realized Buggy was useful for them as a figurehead to draw attention while their actions and motives remained elusive. They were also well aware that Buggy could not match their own strength, and could dispose of him as soon as his utility wore out, with little to no resistance. Buggy, desperate to keep himself alive, officially announced the name of the organization and introduced to his subordinates that Crocodile and Mihawk are the chief officers of this new company.[2]

   When a citizen of the Pepe Kingdom assassinated Vice Admiral T Bone, Buggy welcomed him and promised to send money to his family for it. After the organization's new requested ship was ready, Crocodile and Mihawk were disgusted and furious because the ship took on much of Buggy's gimmicks. Buggy, himself, was terrified after seeing the vessel, weeping in fear, and was later taken by Crocodile and Mihawk to the office, only to be beaten and have his head mounted by his hair, as the pair discussed plans for the growth of the organization. After a discussion between the three of them, Buggy announced to the entire organization that they would be searching for the One Piece, further enraging both Crocodile and Mihawk.[12]

   Subsequently, the organization listened to Vegapunk's worldwide broadcast,[13] and Buggy announced to everyone that the world would belong to them.[14]

   Keys: Buggy

   In One Piece, Buggy the Clown's official primary hobby is collecting treasure maps.Aside from mapping out potential riches, Buggy's other notable pastimes and personal traits established by series creator Eiichiro Oda include:Chasing Wealth: Constantly searching for gold, jewels, and general loot (though ironically, he has historically had zero interest in seeking out the actual One Piece treasure itself).Partying and Banqueting: Showing a major fondness for food, drinks, and celebrations with his crew.Favorite Food: Enjoying hot dogs (while explicitly disliking tomatoes).

   The Apprentice Years Buggy was born in the Grand Line, 39 years before the present day.[12]

   Since at least the age of 9, Buggy has been with the Roger Pirates as an apprentice alongside Shanks. One day, the Roger Pirates were reading a newspaper article about a samurai from Wano Country that joined the Whitebeard Pirates, and Buggy complained that Whitebeard's crew was receiving all the focus in the news.[16]

   At least 27 years ago,[17] He and Shanks continued a frequent argument over whether the North Pole or the South Pole was colder and were reprimanded for their endless squabbling by Silvers Rayleigh. The Roger Pirates then raided another ship out at sea, and during the battle Buggy found a map leading to treasure at the bottom of the sea. He kept the map for himself and talked with Shanks after the raid. Shanks revealed that the crew had obtained a Devil Fruit in the raid, and Buggy became very interested upon hearing that it was worth Beli100,000,000 in the market.

   Thus, Buggy volunteered to eat the fruit before creating a fake Devil Fruit and eating it in front of the crew. With the real Devil Fruit, the Bara Bara no Mi, still in his possession along with the treasure map, Buggy plotted to leave the Roger Pirates, become rich, and form his own powerful pirate crew. However, Shanks then suddenly greeted him at his hiding spot, forcing Buggy to hide the fruit in his mouth. Shanks left but then unexpectedly returned to tell Buggy something else, causing Buggy to panic and swallow the fruit whole. As Buggy became enraged at Shanks, he saw that his treasure map had blown into the ocean, and he dove in to save it. However, eating the Devil Fruit rendered unable to swim, so Shanks was forced to rescue him. In addition to losing his treasure map forever, Buggy now had no way to go underwater to find the treasure, and so he formed a grudge against Shanks.[18] Despite the difference between them, both pirates were often seen together while they were on board the ship. This led Whitebeard to notice and even remember seeing a "big nose" with Shanks during their battles with Roger.[8]

   Sometime after that, in the New World, Shiki and the Golden Lion Pirates wanted to team up with the Roger Pirates to take over the world, and due to their massive fleet, Buggy advised Gol D. Roger to comply with Shiki's request. However, Roger refused, and the Roger Pirates battled the Golden Lion Pirates in the Battle of Edd War, which was ultimately declared a draw.[19] One year later on an island in Paradise, the Roger Pirates had easily defeated a battalion of Marines when Buggy spotted the Whitebeard Pirates disembarking on the other side of the island.[20] The Roger Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates battled each other for four days until their conflict settled into a gift exchange. During the ceasefire periods at night, Buggy noticed that Marshall D. Teach of the Whitebeard Pirates never slept, and pointed this out to Shanks after the battle, saying he heard that Teach had never slept in his life. Roger pleaded for Whitebeard to allow the samurai Kouzuki Oden to join his crew, and Whitebeard reluctantly agreed. The Roger Pirates were initially hesitant to accept Oden as a crew member, but they quickly warmed up to him.

   After departing from the island, the Roger Pirates rode a Knock Up Stream up to Skypiea. They managed to find the Shandorian Golden Belfry Bell, and Buggy wanted to take it, but Roger said he would have to do it when he was a captain.[21] Over the next year, the Roger Pirates sailed to destinations including Water 7, Tequila Wolf, Fish-Man Island, Wano Country, and Zou as they charted a way to reach the legendary final island in the Grand Line. However, right before they sailed to that island, Buggy came down with a fever, forcing him and Shanks to stay behind at the harbor.[22] After the rest of the crew returned from the final island, Roger became known as the Pirate King and the crew had to fend off many attackers. One day, Roger announced that he was disbanding the crew, and they partied into the night before tearfully bidding farewell to him the next day. The crew then took Oden back to his home in Wano and bid farewell to him as well. The remainder of the crew then went their separate ways.[23]

   One year after the Roger Pirates' dissolution, Roger was executed by the World Government in Loguetown. Buggy and Shanks were present at his execution, and they both wept.[19] Afterwards, the two reunited, where Buggy complained to his friend about his promise that they would both go to Laugh Tale on their own ship. However, Shanks replied that while he would still be a pirate, he changed his mind about going there for the time being. Buggy, believing that the latter would follow in Roger's footsteps and be the next Pirate King, was greatly disappointed and refused to accompany him, considering him a coward. After reminding Shanks how he had lost the treasure map because of him, Buggy walked away from the place telling him that they would be enemies if they met again.[24]

   With the Great Age of Pirates beginning, in order to escape the eye of the World Government, he concealed the fact that he was part of the Roger Pirates. Forming the Buggy Pirates, he started to plunder and pillage the weakest points of the East Blue.[25] Two years ago, not long before the start of the series, he and his crew raided Orange Town and forced the citizens to evacuate into a shelter outside the town to stay safe.[26]

   Buggy heard that a thief had stolen his treasure map to the Grand Line and ordered his crew to catch them. When one of his men tried to explain how it got stolen, Buggy misheard him and thought he mentioned his nose, causing him to become enraged and choke his subordinate before ordering him to be blown up with a Buggy Ball. He then told his crew to catch the thief and loot all of the town's treasure. Later, the thief Nami then arrived on the roof of the tavern and gave Monkey D. Luffy, whom she claimed to be her boss, to Buggy as a prisoner. She also gave the treasure map back, saying she and Luffy had a falling out and she wanted to join the Buggy Pirates.[27]

   The Buggy Pirates started partying to celebrate the recovery of the map, and Buggy put Luffy in a cage and decided to have Nami execute him by shooting a Buggy Ball at him. When Nami hesitated, one of the Buggy Pirates decided to light the cannon fuse for her, causing Nami to strike him with her staff as she refused to act like a pirate. Buggy ordered his men to attack her, but they were stopped by Roronoa Zoro.[28] Zoro cut Buggy into pieces, and Buggy pretended to be dead, which allowed him to stab Zoro in the back with a disembodied hand. Luffy then insulted Buggy, and Buggy tried attacking him with a knife, but Luffy caught the knife in his mouth and broke it. Zoro got up and went to the cannon, parrying Buggy's knife attacks before flipping the cannon and shooting the Buggy Ball at Buggy and his crew. The Buggy Pirates ran away from the ensuing explosion, and after emerging from the smoke, they saw that Luffy, Zoro, and Nami were gone and had taken the key to Luffy's cage.[29]

   Buggy proclaimed that it would be an embarrassment to be beaten by three thieves and so had his beast tamer Mohji go on his lion Richie to defeat Zoro.[30] Later, Buggy heard that Mohji had been defeated and so decided to destroy the entire town with Buggy Balls.[31] Mohji then returned and revealed that he had been defeated by Luffy rather than Zoro. After Buggy blew up one row of houses, he was confronted by Orange Town's mayor, Boodle.[32] Buggy easily overpowered Boodle by choking him with a detached hand, but Luffy then came and removed his hand from the mayor's neck. Luffy insulted Buggy again, causing the clown to become enraged and immediately fire a Buggy Ball at him. Luffy then ballooned his body with the power of the Gomu Gomu no Mi, causing the Buggy Ball to bounce off of him and destroy the tavern.[33] Buggy and Cabaji used their crewmates to shield themselves from the blast and emerged unharmed from the tavern wreckage.[34] Zoro then dueled with Cabaji, and when Cabaji moved to attack Zoro from above, Buggy detached his hand to try to restrain Zoro. However, Luffy stomped the hand into the ground, allowing Zoro to dodge the attack and defeat Cabaji. After winning, Zoro revealed that he and Luffy were actually pirates, which surprised Buggy. Luffy proclaimed that he would become the Pirate King, which Buggy mocked due to his perceived difference in their abilities.[35]

   Buggy noted that Luffy's straw hat looked similar to Shanks',[35] and Luffy responded that this was indeed Shanks' hat. Buggy assaulted Luffy with fast blade attacks using his detached hands and legs and targeted the hat, eventually plunging his knives into it. Buggy revealed that he knew Shanks, and Luffy, enraged that the pirate had damaged the hat and tried to invoke Shanks' name, began to pummel and overwhelm him.[36] Buggy told Luffy about his grudge on Shanks and how it made him determined to seize all the treasure on land that he could; having noticed Nami sneaking toward his shed to steal his treasure again, Buggy detached his torso and flew to attack her.[37] However, Buggy's torso fell to the ground after Luffy kicked his groin, causing him to split his body parts into small pieces and fly them around at rapid speed. Buggy then tried attacking Nami again but was stopped again, this time by Luffy tickling his feet. Nami attempted to hit Buggy with the bag of his treasure, but he intercepted it before sending one of his detached hands to try to stab her from behind. However, Luffy then charged in and kicked Buggy in the face. As Luffy obtained his map to the Grand Line, Buggy elevated his head into the air and attempted to reform his body to resume fighting, but only his hands and lower legs returned to him, as Nami had tied up all his other parts. Luffy then stretched both of his arms back and hit Buggy with his outstretched palms, sending him flying off of the island.[38]

However, it spat Buggy out because he tasted bad,[42] and Buggy flew all the way to the Island of Rare Animals.

Buggy brought his parts back to him and fully reformed his body, and he, Alvida, Mohji, and Cabaji defeated the Kumate Tribe as his crew welcomed him back.[50]

   The Buggy Pirates and Alvida tracked Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates to Loguetown, and as Alvida reintroduced herself to Luffy while he was on Gol D. Roger's execution platform, Buggy and his crew made their entrance by blowing up a fountain. Buggy sentenced Luffy to a flashy execution, and he had Cabaji pin Luffy to the execution platform.[51] Buggy swung his sword at Luffy's neck, but in a stroke of miraculous fortune, a bolt of lightning struck the platform, which incapacitated Buggy and allowed Luffy to escape.[52]

   Buggy quickly recovered from the lightning strike and ordered his crew to go after the Straw Hats, assuming that Mohji had burned down their ship. He and Alvida raced toward the coast but were then suddenly grabbed by plumes of smoke as Marine Captain Smoker apprehended them. The Marines successfully rounded up and captured the Buggy Pirates and wrapped Seastone nets around Buggy and Alvida to prevent them from using their Devil Fruit abilities. However, a massive gust of wind suddenly blew through the street and freed the Buggy Pirates, allowing them to escape. The crew regrouped under a porch as a storm started, and Buggy decided that they would head into the Grand Line immediately.[53]

   The Buggy Pirates went to an island in the Grand Line and searched for treasure in a cave. However, they had gone to the wrong island, as miners proceeded to enter the cave and put the pirates to work. Later, Buggy and his crew became excited to hear that Luffy now had a Beli100,000,000 bounty, believing that it would make them even more infamous once they got their revenge on him. As the Buggy Pirates started partying, Portgas D. Ace of the Whitebeard Pirates came aboard and said he could give them information about Luffy. Buggy was hostile toward Ace until he learned who he was, and Ace then suddenly fell asleep. Buggy's subordinates asked if they should kill Ace and become famous, but Buggy ordered them not to as he knew that they would anger Whitebeard by attacking a member of his crew. Ace then woke back up and took part in the party as he drank with Buggy.[54]

   Summit War Saga Amazon Lily Arc According to an article in the newspaper read by Gloriosa, Buggy was captured by the Marines after accidentally wandering into a Marine garrison which he thought was a cave containing Captain John's treasure. After being captured, he was imprisoned in Level 1 of Impel Down.[55]

   Buggy attempted to sneak out of the prison but was caught and chased by the Blugori. He ended up running alongside Luffy, who revealed he had snuck into the prison. After some initial shock and hostility, the two of them ended up teaming up to fight the Blugori.[56] To Buggy's great surprise, Luffy was able to quickly defeat each of them with just one punch. Luffy then revealed that he was going down to Level 5 to save Ace, and Buggy initially refused to go along with him. However, he then noticed that Luffy was wearing an armband that pointed to the location of Captain John's treasure and so offered to take him down to Level 4 in exchange for the armband. To his complete shock, Luffy gave him the armband right then, even after finding out it was a treasure map.[57]

   Buggy and Luffy ended up crashing through the guard room and into Level 1's Crimson Hell, and Buggy detached his feet from his body, allowing him to carry Luffy through the air on his back while his feet traversed unharmed through the spike-covered terrain. The duo reached a pit leading to Level 2, and Luffy immediately jumped in. Buggy considered taking the armband and making his escape, but he was then beheaded by a Blugori, causing the rest of his body to fall down to Level 2.[57] Luffy and Buggy were immediately confronted by the Basilisk from Level 2's Wild Beast Hell, and Buggy was left in shock at Luffy's vastly increased power as Luffy used Gear 3 to defeat it. The prisoners asked the pirates to free them, and Buggy decided to let them out to create chaos that would shield him. However, the prisoners ultimately decided to stay imprisoned as long as the boss of Level 2 was still around, and Buggy had to admit to Luffy that he was lying about being able to reach Level 4. However, Galdino then arrived and said that he could guide them through the level.[58]

   Buggy, Luffy, and Galdino were then chased by the other wild beasts. Galdino took them to the stairs leading down to Level 3, where they encountered the boss of the level, the Sphinx. When the Sphinx started attacking, Buggy and Galdino made a pact to work together to escape and use Luffy as bait. Galdino created wax clones of himself to distract the Sphinx, but as he and Buggy attempted to go back up to Level 1, the Sphinx's repeated attacks caused the floor to fall out from under them and sent them falling into Level 3.[59] After landing in the very hot Starvation Hell, the trio and the unconscious Sphinx ended up being caught in a net made of Seastone. However, the Sphinx then woke up and tore the net apart, and Buggy and Galdino climbed up to the rafters, bidding farewell to Luffy as he continued looking for a way down. Buggy and Galdino then heard singing and found Bentham, a former associate of Galdino, in one of the cells.[60] They released Bentham, who went off to join Luffy.[61]

   Buggy and Galdino later encountered the Jailer Beast Minotaurus, who chased them to Luffy and Bentham's location near a pit going down to Level 4. Buggy introduced his new weapon, the Muggy Ball, to the other three and launched it at Minotaurus from his shoe. The Muggy Ball's explosion injured Minotaurus, and successive attacks from Bentham, Luffy, and Galdino defeated it.[62] However, the attacks resulted in the floor collapsing from beneath them, sending them down to Level 4, the Blazing Hell. As they walked in the intense heat, Bentham recalled that the kitchen was on this level. Buggy wanted to follow Luffy to the kitchen, but Galdino held him back and forced him to hide; he pointed out that the level was heavily guarded and that Impel Down would likely send their top forces, including the warden Magellan, after them.[63]

   When Magellan confronted Luffy, Buggy and Galdino decided to take advantage of this and ambush the forces guarding the way back up, believing they had a chance of overpowering the vice warden Hannyabal.[64] Hannyabal actually allowed them to go through the gate, but they attacked him anyways, causing him to easily defeat them. They were then sent to the interrogation room and were later freed by Bentham, who was disguised as Hannyabal. With Luffy having been poisoned by Magellan and sent to Level 5, Bentham wished to go and save him, much to Buggy and Galdino's dismay.[65] As Hannyabal, Bentham led the duo into the Freezing Hell of Level 5; however, upon being confronted by ferocious wolves, Buggy and Galdino ran away and left Bentham to help Luffy alone.[66]

   Buggy and Galdino managed to avoid the guards by hiding behind walls created by Galdino's wax, and over the next 20 hours they managed to sneak all the way back up to Level 2. As the prison forces headed down toward Level 4 to deal with chaos there, the duo used wax keys to free the prisoners on their level and start a riot. Buggy quickly took leadership of the prisoners, and they happily followed him as their savior.[67] When Buggy's group reached Level 1, they were confronted by all four Jailer Beasts, but the Beasts were suddenly taken down by Luffy, Bentham, and their allies from the lowest levels.[68]

   As Luffy and Galdino battled Magellan, Buggy led the prisoners to the outside of the prison only to find that there were no ships docked at the shore. Jinbe of the Seven Warlords of the Sea responded by ripping off one of the doors and taking Buggy, Crocodile, and Daz Bonez across the water to the Marine battleships in the distance. Jinbe used Fish-Man Jujutsu to propel the trio onto one of the ships, and Buggy was left incapacitated by the landing while Crocodile, Daz, and Jinbe defeated the Marines onboard.[69] The prisoners celebrated as they all boarded the hijacked battleship and set sail, but they quickly found themselves under attack by the rest of the Marine fleet and were heading toward a dead end as the Gates of Justice were closed. However, the Gates were then opened by Bentham, who had stayed behind, and the prisoners all tearfully thanked him when Luffy called him. Thanks to his actions, they were able to pass through the Gates and successfully escape from Impel Down.[70]

   While the other escapees mourned Bentham's presumed sacrifice, Buggy did not think much of it, causing Luffy to punch him. Buggy and the prisoners were shocked to find out that Luffy and his allies intended to go to Marineford to save Ace. The escapees were then contacted by Marine Headquarters, who stated that they had identified both Luffy and Buggy as masterminds behind the mass breakout after having discovered that Buggy was once a member of the Roger Pirates. This caused the escapees to admire Buggy even more, and he decided to use this revelation to build up his reputation to the point of dreaming of becoming Pirate King. The prisoners were so infatuated with Buggy that they offered to help him mutiny against Luffy's group and escape from the Tarai Current, but Buggy instead decided to follow the course and go to Marineford for the chance to take down Whitebeard.[71]

   Although Marine Headquarters had said they would not open the Gates of Justice to Marineford, the Gates unexpectedly opened when the escapees got there. Buggy acted like he was responsible for earning the escapees' admiration, though he had no idea who actually opened them.[72] As the escapees neared Marineford, they were suddenly carried up by a massive tsunami created by Whitebeard, only to become stuck high in the air when Admiral Aokiji froze it. They saw that they were right above Marineford, and Luffy got the idea to slide the ship down the slope of the frozen wave. However, as they rushed to dislodge the ship, the ice beneath them gave out, and they fell into the frozen Marineford Bay below. The escapees miraculously landed in a small unfrozen spot, and Jinbe pulled Buggy out of the water.[73]

   Buggy immediately became afraid when Luffy and Ivankov began battling Admiral Kizaru and said he wanted to go home; however, the escapees misheard him as saying he wanted to kill Kizaru and so admired him.[74] The escapees grew restless, wanting Buggy to lead them into battle against Whitebeard before Luffy took all the glory. Whitebeard then called out to Buggy, claiming that the Marines were giving even his crew trouble and offering to form an alliance to defeat them before Buggy went after his head. Buggy quickly agreed, as Whitebeard's words had easily stoked his pride.[75] When Luffy led the Whitebeard Pirates toward Ace's execution platform, Buggy led the escapees into battle to bring glory to his name.[76] Crocodile created a sandstorm while fighting Donquixote Doflamingo, and Buggy was inadvertently caught in it. While flying around, he was pulled down by Luffy to intercept Dracule Mihawk's sword strikes with his body. Buggy got angry at Mihawk for slicing him up and threw a Muggy Ball at him, only for Mihawk to deflect it back at Buggy and cause it to detonate on him.[77]

   Buggy quickly recovered from the explosion with only minor injuries and had his followers film him with a Video Den Den Mushi stolen from Impel Down; he used this to introduce and proclaim himself to the audience watching the war broadcast on the Sabaody Archipelago.[78] However, Aokiji quickly stopped the broadcast by encasing Buggy and his men in ice.[79] They were unfrozen not long afterwards when Admiral Akainu attacked the bay with magma fists, and Buggy swore revenge on the Marines, to his followers' delight.[80]

   The Video Den Den Mushi later regained consciousness, allowing Buggy to start broadcasting himself and his plot to take down Whitebeard to Sabaody again.[81] However, Buggy then watched as Ace was killed by Akainu, and Whitebeard met his end at the hands of the Blackbeard Pirates. He got scared of the events that transpired and ran away, though his followers mistook his fear for a respectful mourning of Whitebeard as a true rival.[82] As Buggy was flying away, a severely injured Luffy and Jinbe then flew into his arms after being propelled up by one of Crocodile's sandstorms, forcing Buggy to avoid Akainu's relentless attacks. Buggy panicked about what to do with Luffy and Jinbe when suddenly the pirate Trafalgar Law arrived on his submarine and told Buggy to bring them to him.[83] After Buggy did this, Shanks and the Red Hair Pirates arrived to end the war.[84]

   Shanks threw Luffy's straw hat at Buggy, offering him a treasure map if he returned it to Luffy. Buggy happily complied, only to find out afterward that Shanks was lying. Buggy became very angry at his former crewmate as a result, and his followers were awed by him confronting one of the Four Emperors. However, Buggy quickly calmed down so that he could safely leave Marineford with the other pirates.[85]

   Buggy managed to find and reunite with his crew on an unnamed island, and his crewmates introduced themselves to Galdino and his many other powerful subordinates from Impel Down. Buggy showed Captain John's treasure mark to Alvida, and immediately afterwards, he received an invitation from the World Government[86] to become a Warlord of the Sea.[7]

   During the Timeskip Buggy accepted the invitation to join the Seven Warlords and used his newfound freedom to founded a mercenary dispatch service called Buggy's Delivery.[7]

   [skip section] 3D2Y Buggy and his surprised to see and fighting together on the . Buggy and his crew surprised to see Luffy and Boa Hancock fighting together on the Groseade.

   When Luffy and Boa Hancock had just begun fighting against Sebastian, the Buggy Pirates arrived in the area by coincidence and saw the fight ensuing on the Groseade. Buggy then walks up to his crew and asks who they are fighting, to which is then informed by Mr. 3 that it was the World Pirates and that they were the reason that the Seven Warlords were summoned. Buggy is then surprised by the coincidence and the fact that Luffy was fighting the World Pirates; however, after prompted by his crew to fight World, Buggy decided to let Luffy take down World and then take credit for it. He then tells his crew to alert the world that the Buggy Pirates were fighting with the World Pirates with the intention of letting the Marines know that a fight was occurring as to attract the Admirals over there and let the Marines take over the fight in case anything went wrong.

   When it appeared that Sebastian had gained the upper hand, Buggy worried that Luffy and Hancock would lose. However, when Sebastian is defeated by Perona, he directs his attention to the hovering girl and, to his surprise, discovers that Perona was accompanying Mihawk. Buggy immediately wondered why Mihawk was there, to which both him and Galdino then realize that Mihawk would be an asset to defeating World, but then Buggy quickly worried that Mihawk was there to take credit. In response, Galdino recommended that they leave their trace and so Buggy ordered the crew to invade the enemy ship.

   On board the ship, Buggy alerted his crew to stop when he noticed World's presence. They then watched as World fought Luffy, to which Buggy fell into a state of shock after World easily defeated the young pirate. He then realized that his plan was bound to fail if Luffy was defeated and so ordered his crew to immediately revive him, which is misinterpreted by the Impel Down escapees as Buggy caring for his friend. Later, while his crew treated Luffy, Buggy continuously slapped him to wake him up. After a while, he succeeded and stated that it went all as planned.

   Later, while walking through the hallways of the ship, Buggy and his crew encountered Gairam and was told by him that they had trespassed and that they would be killed for doing so. Buggy and his crew were then caught between an onslaught of cubes created by Gairam's Kyubu Kyubu no Mi. While dodging the attack, Buggy noticed a flattened Luffy that had floated down from between the cubes and then screamed at him for still being there. Buggy then told Luffy to just hurry up and go defeat World, which is misinterpreted by the Tightrope Walking Funan Bros as words of encouragement when, in reality, Buggy was just thinking about how his plan would end in failure in World was not defeated. Upon hearing the cheers from his crew, Buggy then told Luffy that he would handle Gairam, thinking that there could be no way from him to be defeated with so many Impel Down escapees under him. To his surprise, however, Gairam then compressed the air around him into a cube and attacked them with his Air Cube Booster. Mr. 3 then used his Candle Wall to block the attack and told them to run.

   Buggy is turned into a cube. Buggy is turned into a cube.

   Buggy then ran deeper into the ship but then learned that it was a dead end and before he could do anything, Gairam turned him into a cube by using Cube Break. Gairam then sent cubed pieces of the floor flying at Buggy, but Buggy simply kept jumping on top of them and mocking Gairam in the process. However, Gairam then began knocking off the cubes that Buggy jumped on until Buggy was within hitting range. Before, Gairam could hit him, Buggy used Bara Bara Kinkyu Dasshutsu to escape and, in the process, became decompressed. He then summoned back his body parts but became Chibi Buggy when Gairam held down Buggy's body. When Mr. 3 asked him what his next move was, Buggy revealed that he still had a secret attack and that he was going to use the Muggy Ball to attack Gairam and retrieve his torso. After using his Special Muggy Ball, the attack created a big cloud of smoke and while Gairam was blinded, Hancock jumped out and turned Gairam to stone. The crew, oblivious to the fact that Hancock defeated Gairam, cheered on Buggy for his victory, to which a surprised Buggy happily took credit for.

   Soon after, the crew found the exit to the ship. Upon exiting, Buggy commented that they could finally escape, but is told by Mr. 3 that the rest of the crew could hear what he was thinking, and so, quickly said that he had gone the wrong way and had intended to find the location of World. One of his men then told him that Marine ships were approaching, to which Buggy became surprised at their presence. He is then reminded by Mr. 3 that he was the one that told for them to be called over there. Buggy then tried to tell the Marines that it was him, the new Warlord, that was on the ship fighting with World, but the Marines did not recognize him and are ordered by Akainu to fire. Buggy and his crew narrowly escaped the onslaught of cannon fire as he flied through the air with Mr. 3 on his back and his crew swam back to their ship carrying his feet.

   Afterwards, the newspapers gave credit to Buggy for defeating Byrnndi World.[87]

   Buggy and his crew were hired by Buena Festa as security for the Pirates Festival. However, after Trafalgar Law managed to infiltrate the underground and escape, the entire crew was in a rush to find him, for fear of having their pay cut. Unfortunately, just as they found him, Law used his ability to stowaway on the passing Thousand Sunny. They attempted to pursue the Straw Hat Pirates in order to capture Law but were blown away as the Straw Hat Pirates used Coup de Burst to fly up the Knock Up Stream. The crew did ultimately succeed in getting up to the island and were unseen by the other pirates. Buggy used this to his advantage and successfully reached Roger's treasure while everyone else was fighting. He then exposed himself after getting the treasure, causing the other competing pirates to chased after him. However, as he was running away, he decided to take a peek at the treasure, and seeing that it was an Eternal Pose to Laugh Tale, he became visibly shocked. A ship was then thrown at the treasure island, destroying it and sending everyone falling back to Delta Island, with Buggy losing the treasure in the process.

   After Buggy was saved from drowning by his crew, he was shocked to see Douglas Bullet, his former crewmate on the Roger Pirates. As Bullet confronted members of the Worst Generation, Buggy and the other pirates attempted to flee the island. However, they were confronted on the coast by a Marine fleet, with the Marines and Pacifista landing on the island to battle. As Dracule Mihawk and Boa Hancock appeared, Buggy decided to sneak away. He was later accidentally caught by Smoker, who forced him to reveal what the treasure was.

   Bullet later tore apart the island with his Gasha Gasha no Mi ability, forming a massive fighting colossus, with Buggy ending up buried in the rubble in the chaos. He was eventually pulled out by Hancock (who was actually looking for Luffy), and soon afterward the two of them confronted Smoker and Sabo. Smoker, Hancock, and Sabo started working with Law and Monkey D. Luffy to attack Bullet's colossus, and they succeeded in blowing off one of its arms. Buggy saw that the massive arm was falling onto him, and when he realized that he could not run away in time, he threw a Muggy Ball at it to destroy it, though it was completely ineffective, and was instead destroyed by Rob Lucci's Rankyaku (though Buggy mistakenly believed that it was his doing). He was then pulled in by Law to do a concentrated combo attack on the colossus.

   Bullet was defeated soon afterward by the alliance, and Buggy reunited with his crew as they departed from Delta Island. They were confronted by a Marine fleet, but were able to pass through it thanks to other pirate ships flanking them and Sabo creating a wall of fire between them and the fleet.[89]

   Advertisement Wano Country Arc After the abolition of the Seven Warlords system, a Marine fleet led by Stainless approached Karai Bari Island to arrest Buggy, who was enraged by this turn of events and then ordered his men to prepare to fight, but secretly planned to flee alone.[90]

   However, as he planned his escape, Buggy's workers told him to fight back, leading them to wonder if he was afraid of the Marines. Suddenly, he was left in disbelief upon seeing all the attacking ships being destroyed, wondering who his saviors were. When he found out that it was Crocodile, his subordinates believed the rumor of the latter being Buggy's henchman to be true and that he came to save them. However, the clown was freaked out at the thought of Crocodile coming to collect the money he owed him, so he wondered what to do since he couldn't pay him back and saw his savior as a worse option than the Marines. Soon after, Buggy was subdued by Crocodile, who was surprised that he didn't run away knowing about the debt. Mentally admitting this, Buggy informed him that his organization wasn't doing as well as it seemed given the large number of members he had to feed and that the giants had quit as well. However, Crocodile replied that he could sell him into slavery if he didn't have enough money, to which Buggy tried to appease him by reminding him that they escaped Impel Down together. Crocodile then told him to pay him back for their relationship, as he needed the funds to start a new company. Buggy then decided to work for him and thus settle his debt: offering him the service of his workers for free and the resources of advertising, printing and transportation.[91]

   Thus was born Cross Guild, an organization that consisted of putting bounties on Marines.[2] However, despite the company being founded by Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk, Buggy's workers spread posters around the world where the latter stood out more than the previous two, which terrified the clown. Because of this, the World Government considered Buggy as the commander of Mihawk and Crocodile,[92] in addition to giving him the position of the Four Emperors after the downfall of Big Mom and Kaidou.[93]

   Later, Crocodile and Mihawk became enraged upon hearing the news, so they beat up Buggy, who begged for his life, claiming that he would even clean their shoes. When Crocodile asked why he was being recognized as the boss, Buggy continued to apologize and ask him to calm down, though Mihawk told him that if he was truly sorry, he would give up his life. As Buggy continued to plead not to be killed, Galdino approached to declare his happiness towards Crocodile for working for him again, so the clown became enraged at him for betraying him, to which Galdino replied that he does not remember being his subordinate. Crocodile reproached Buggy for the new sign he had hung out to the world, which made him look like the most prominent. Although the latter said it was a misunderstanding, Crocodile shoved the sign down the Emperor's throat and demanded an explanation. After spitting it out, Buggy claimed that he hadn't meant to and that it was his subordinates who admired him so much. However, Crocodile was still angry at the Emperor for how famous he now was for earning said title, and he once again begged for his life only to be silenced. At that moment, Mihawk convinced Crocodile to spare Buggy's life so they could use him as a figurehead, saying they could always get rid of the clown if he became a nuisance. The new boss then introduced all of his subordinates to Crocodile and Mihawk as officers of the Cross Guild, though inside he was still scared of what his life would be like.[94]

   Sometime after, Buggy told Mihawk and Crocodile that he would have his subordinates build a new ship for the organization, as they had good shipwrights.

   After Vice Admiral T Bone's death, Buggy congratulated the assassin for making it this far, who thanked him for sending the money to his family, though the Emperor replied that he should feel proud for what he had done. There Buggy explained to the poor man that the Marines would surely come for him, but that he should not worry, as he would now be a pirate of the Cross Guild and take care of him. While being congratulated by his subordinates, Buggy was informed by one of his shipwrights that the ship he requested was already ready; however, he was frightened to see how the ship's figurehead had his face designed on it, which angered Crocodile and Mihawk upon seeing this.

   The latter two brought Buggy to the meeting room, where they punished him by hanging his head from a hook. As Crocodile and Mihawk discussed what the new Utopia Plan would look like, Buggy begged to be killed, as that was not the kind of life he wanted. However, Buggy, even knowing that they could kill him, interrupted them by telling them that they were wrong as pirates for only considering wealth and power. He then explained how Shanks had already made his move and that despite being on the same ship, neither of them made it to Laugh Tale. Buggy talked about how he had to give up on his dream because he thought Shanks had more potential than him, but he never made up his mind to become the Pirate King. However, Buggy, arguing that he was now an Emperor just like Shanks, tearfully declared that he wants to be the Pirate King despite the latter already making his move. So, he told his two companions to go find the One Piece, only for them to reject him with Crocodile slamming him into the wall. When Mihawk claimed that they would not be fooled into facing the other current Emperors, Buggy replied that they did not need to defeat them, but that they only needed to take the treasure, arguing that there are words that motivate pirates as they all set sail for the same reason. Even being trampled by Crocodile, Buggy took advantage of the nearby Den Den Mushi to announce to the entire Cross Guild that they would search for the One Piece.[95]Buggy the Clown from One Piece is a cowardly, selfish, and deeply vain opportunist.

   Later on, when Vegapunk's worldwide broadcast was nearing its end, Buggy was confused by his henchmen assuming that he was aware of the truth of the world, despite the fact that Buggy had never been to Laugh Tale, due to being sick when his crew made the trip. With his followers getting more excited about Vegapunk's claim that the fate of the world would be up to whoever claimed the One Piece, Buggy laughed himself into tears, knowing that he might actually have to follow through with his promise of going after the One Piece.[96] When his crew proclaimed that the world would belong to him, Buggy corrected them by saying that it would belong to all of them.

   Buggy the Star Clown is the nominal president of Cross Guild, and one of the current Four Emperors dominating the New World.[6][2][16]

   Initially a Roger Pirates apprentice alongside Shanks,[8] Buggy succeeded his disbanded mentors as a career pirate in the East Blue, in time becoming captain of the Buggy Pirates. One of the earliest enemies defeated by Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates,[4] revenge drove him to an alliance with "Iron Mace" Alvida and pursuit into the Grand Line.[5] Since then, his fortunes have constantly, dramatically revolved: from imprisonment in Impel Down to entanglement in its first mass-breakout and the subsequent Summit War of Marineford, his escalating infamy won him entry to the Seven Warlords of the Sea,[7] allowing him to launch the pirate mercenary organization Buggy's Delivery.[3]

   After the Warlords were outlawed,[17] Buggy found himself "leading" the Cross Guild, a successor group actually controlled by fellow ex-Warlords Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk; with his inflated reputation, he was grudgingly retained as figurehead leader, and gained recognition as one of the new Emperors.[16] Emboldened, Buggy has declared his intent to become the Pirate King, putting Cross Guild in pursuit of One Piece.[18]

   He is the main antagonist of the Orange Town Arc and a secondary antagonist in the Loguetown Arc, as well as the central protagonist of the Buggy's Crew Adventure Chronicles cover arc (the manga's first). Since then, he has become one of the series' most-recurring characters, serving as a supporting character through the Summit War Saga in addition to tertiary appearances in the Jaya Arc, Zou Arc, Wano Country Arc, and Egghead Arc.

   He is also the main antagonist in most episodes of "Boss Luffy Historical Special". He also serves as a reluctant ally to Luffy in the 3D2Y special episode, and the movie One Piece: Stampede.Buggy is an average-sized man with an appearance resembling that of a clown, so as to mirror his epithet. He has long blue hair and gray eyes (light blue in the manga). The big, red nose on his face is, in fact, his real nose.[19] The blue tassels coming from the sides of his hat are his actual hair in the shape of two ponytails.[20]Personality Buggy is vain and egotistical and seeks to be glorified and feared by others. When he was nine years old, he complained that the Whitebeard Pirates were receiving more attention in the newspaper than his crew, the Roger Pirates.[23] He does not spend much of his time improving his own abilities to become a powerful fighter but rather focuses mainly on recruiting powerful subordinates who do the hard work while simultaneously being subjected to him.[24][25] If presented with an opportunity to make himself look good, Buggy will take it. Whenever someone strokes his ego, even if it is due to an inaccurate impression of him, Buggy will revel in it and start getting delusions of grandeur; when the Impel Down escapees praised him for being on Roger's crew, Buggy started considering that their support could help him take down Whitebeard or even become the Pirate King.[26]

   Buggy is a showman, and his actions are frequently designed to bring attention to himself. He injects the word "flashy" (派手に, hade ni?), into almost every sentence he speaks ("Flashily die! You flashy bastard!"), and frequently uses it to describe his actions, such as giving Monkey D. Luffy a "flashy execution" in Loguetown. In that attempted execution, he made his entrance by blowing up a fountain and allowed his crew to run wild while he executed Luffy atop the platform where Gol D. Roger was famously killed.[27] During the Summit War of Marineford, he had his followers broadcast his exploits to the outside world with a stolen Den Den Mushi,[28] and after becoming a Warlord of the Sea during the timeskip, he uses his Devil Fruit abilities in conjunction with a large robe to make himself look much bigger than he actually is.[3]

   In addition to wanting followers, Buggy loves to find treasure and spends most of his time following maps leading to great riches; when he was on the Roger Pirates, he stated that the most important thing to a pirate is the physical treasure they find. Buggy is extremely possessive over the treasure he takes and will kill anyone who attempts to steal from him. When Shanks accidentally caused him to lose a treasure map during their apprentice days, Buggy developed a grudge against him that has lasted for three decades.[24] When the Roger Pirates went to Skypiea, Buggy was very attracted to the Shandorian Golden Belfry Bell and was disappointed when Roger decided not to take it.[29] Buggy was even willing to guide Luffy through Impel Down in exchange for an armband pointing to Captain John's treasure, though he did not intend to fully honor the deal, especially after Luffy gave him the armband in advance.[30] When asked by Shanks on Marineford to return Luffy's straw hat, Buggy immediately did so upon being promised a treasure map in return and was extremely angry when he found out Shanks was lying.[31]

   Buggy is extremely prideful; when he failed to kill Luffy, Zoro, and Nami for stealing from him and defying him, he said that it would bring great shame upon him and his crew to let them go free.[32] After Luffy defeated him, Buggy made it his mission to hunt down and kill him for simply angering him.[33] He is prone to underestimating opponents that he knows nothing about, as he initially mistook Luffy for a common thief and believed that Luffy was much weaker than him until being defeated by him;[34] he initially paid much more attention to Zoro due to having heard of the swordsman before.[35] In Impel Down, Buggy's lack of knowledge about Vice Warden Hannyabal caused him to assume that he and Galdino had a chance of beating him, causing them to attack him and get easily beaten.[36] Buggy also angrily confronted Portgas D. Ace as an enemy until finding out who he was.[37] When the Roger Pirates battled the Whitebeard Pirates for four days, Marco noted that Buggy and Shanks both had impressively stoic attitudes for young pirate apprentices.[38]

   Buggy punches one of his crew members for misinterpreting something Buggy said himself. Buggy punches one of his crew members for misinterpreting something Buggy said himself.

   Buggy is extremely sensitive about his big red nose and will immediately execute anyone who points it out, usually by blowing them up with a Buggy Ball.[39] He frequently tends to mishear people as talking about his nose when in reality they are talking about something completely different,[40] and sometimes he even mistakes his own speech as referring to his nose and gets angry at people around him for it.[41]

   Despite his prideful and vain attitude, Buggy is aware of the many dangers of the Grand Line and typically does not commit rash actions that would put him in trouble, to the point of acting cowardly. When the Roger Pirates came into conflict with the Golden Lion Pirates and their massive fleet, a 12-year-old Buggy worriedly pleaded for Roger to comply with Golden Lion captain Shiki's request.[42] When Ace fell asleep on his ship, Buggy ordered his crew not to kill him, as he knew that doing so would unleash Whitebeard's wrath on them.[37] When teaming up with Luffy, who wanted to go to the lowest level of Impel Down to save Ace, Buggy wished to stay on the highest level possible and avoid the prison's powerful guards.[30] When escaping from Impel Down, Buggy went along with Jinbe, Crocodile, and Daz Bonez to commandeer a Marine ship in order to stay away from the warden Magellan.[43] When he witnessed Whitebeard die after battling the Marine admirals and Blackbeard Pirates, Buggy immediately became afraid and flew away from the battleground, not caring if his followers saw him as cowardly.[44] However, Buggy may commit rash actions if compelled by his emotions; when Dracule Mihawk sliced him into many pieces during the Summit War of Marineford, Buggy got angry at him and shot a Muggy Ball at him without thinking, causing Mihawk to deflect it back at him.[45] When Crocodile and Mihawk confronted him for his unintentional usurpation of the presidency of the Cross Guild, he showed tremendous cowardice by crying and pleading for mercy, even offering to lick their shoes clean, and upon being made figurehead leader under the two superior pirates, he became worried for his future.[16]

   Buggy can often be cruel and selfish, even toward his comrades. While operating in the East Blue, he regularly raided and pillaged defenseless towns before destroying them as he pleased and would kill anyone who opposed him without hesitation.[46] If one of his subordinates fails to accomplish a task, Buggy will become very angry at them and may abuse them. When a Buggy Ball was flying toward him and his crew, Buggy used two of his crewmates as shields without any remorse.[47] After losing his Warlord position and being confronted by a Marine fleet, Buggy plotted to escape in secret while the rest of his forces fought the Marines.[48] When teaming up with Luffy in Impel Down, Buggy frequently looked for ways to split away from him and pursue his own goal of escaping, even if it meant going back on his word or leaving Luffy in a perilous situation. When Luffy gave him Captain John's armband in advance and let him go off even before they had agreed to, Buggy was baffled by his kindness.[30][49] While with the Roger Pirates, he kept a treasure map from them without telling anyone and pretended to eat the Devil Fruit the crew had in order to sell the real one, valuing gaining wealth for himself over contributing to the crew.[24] Buggy is willing to do whatever it takes to win and aid his comrades in battle, as shown when he attempted to restrain Zoro to allow Cabaji to strike him.[34]

   Buggy appears to love eating and drinking, as he frequently engages in parties and banquets with his crew.[50][37][3] When he was in Level 4 of Impel Down, he wanted to go with Luffy to break into the kitchen, and Galdino was forced to stop him from heading into an obvious ambush.[51]

   Like many other characters, Buggy has a distinct laugh, "Gyahahahahaha!"

   Advertisement Relationships Buggy Pirates Before his loss to Luffy, he was willing to use his own crew as human shields. Afterwards, he shows a lot more concern about their well-being. Through a series of adventures, Buggy manages to recruit a transformed Alvida to his cause, regroups with his crew, and recombines with the rest of his body.

   They follow the Straw Hats to Loguetown, where Buggy manages to trap Luffy on the execution platform, but before he can cut off his head, a bolt of lightning strikes his swords, destroying the platform and letting Luffy escape. After this event, the Buggy Pirates follow the Straw Hats into the Grand Line, but they are taking a different path than them.

   When Buggy was sent flying by Luffy, the crew was depressed, and his crewmates even built a tomb for him. However, when Buggy was captured and sent to Impel Down, they gave up searching for him because they were afraid for their lives. But after the war, they lied to Buggy, saying that they never ceased looking for him.

   After Buggy's escapade from Impel Down, many fellow escapees from the prison have heard of his past as a member of Gol D. Roger's crew but miss out that he is a mere apprentice and potentially the weakest member on board. Consequently, they come to admire him as a powerful pirate. During the course of the Battle of Marineford, Buggy repeatedly shows his cowardice, but the escapees keep mistaking it as courage and bravado, furthering their admiration. They were further amazed to watch his interaction with Shanks, vowing to follow him wherever.

   Buggy and Mr. 3 teamed up in Impel Down in order to escape the Great Prison and, sharing a hatred for Luffy, quickly became friends. However, they usually found that their attempts to escape without the assistance of Luffy and his allies proved fruitless, and it was only through Luffy's help that they managed to break free. During their time side by side in Impel Down, Galdino acted as the more cautious of the two, frequently warning Buggy about the dangers that the two of them have triggered throughout the course of their escape from the prison; in the anime he has, on more than one occasion, had to do things himself to ensure Buggy's safety as well as his own, using his wax to supply them with convenient implements to fend for their lives with. After Buggy gains his blindly loyal followers, Mr. 3 remains the only one who can see through Buggy's facade.

   Buggy reunites with his crewmates. Buggy reunites with his crewmates.

   By the end of the war, when Buggy reunites with his old crew, the escapees join his crew, admiring First Mate Mohji and Second Mate Cabaji as well. In truth, these new recruits are more powerful than Buggy himself, and they all had high bounties in their past. Their combined strength is far more than Buggy's old crew; however, their utter loyalty to Buggy means they are no threat. According to Mr. 3, who also joins the crew and is the only one who sees through the facade, their ears are so full of hope that they are half-deaf.

   Upon the end of the Seven Warlords, Buggy made another act of bravery in front of his crew by challenging the Marines who came to arrest him, only to secretly plan to slip away while his subordinates hold back the pursuers.[48] However, with Crocodile suddenly sinking the ships, the crew misunderstood this act as loyalty to Buggy. Their admiration of Buggy grew stronger than ever, as they even posted him as the most standout member of the new company that Crocodile founded, leading to the world believing that he managed to recruit Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk as subordinates. When Crocodile and Mihawk confronted Buggy for this misunderstanding, Mohji, Richie, Cabaji, and Alvida, all of whom knew of Buggy's façade, casually brushed off his impending doom while expressing their next step in following Crocodile as they continued to party. However, when Buggy was made the figurehead leader of this new organization, his crew cheered fiercer than ever for him and his new "commanders."[16]

   Advertisement Galdino Buggy and Galdino team up to escape Impel Down. Buggy and Galdino team up to escape Impel Down.

   Buggy and Galdino teamed up in Impel Down in order to make their escape. Harboring a common hatred towards Luffy, they quickly made friends with each other and spent most of their time in prison together, trying to find a way out. While Galdino was the more cautious of the two, Buggy was the more spontaneous one. Surprisingly, he was also the craftier of the two, quickly taking advantage of the situations they were in to pull out his heroics, much to Galdino's dismay. Galdino was shocked to hear of Buggy's past as a member of the Roger Pirates and his friendship with Shanks. He seems to be the only one whose advice Buggy takes seriously, as well as the only one who sees through Buggy's brave facade. The two of them seem to have some basic level of concern for each other, with Galdino actually showing fear that Buggy had lost it when he declared he could beat the Marines. But that can be credited to Buggy being a vital aspect of Galdino's survival, since the Impel Down escapees only listened to Buggy. Galdino may, on some level, see that Buggy has a way of getting powerful people to aid him, such as Luffy and Alvida, and may see Buggy as a path to his former status. Buggy's ability to gather powerful allies is not something Galdino is blind to, and he may think that Buggy is very useful in his own way.

   After the Summit War of Marineford, Galdino stayed with Buggy and joined his crew along with the other escaped Impel Down inmates. After Crocodile and Mihawk threatened Buggy with death for accidentally usurping the new organization, Cross Guild, Galdino did not hesitate in leaving Buggy to his fate while expressing his delight at working under Crocodile once again.[16]

   Cross Guild During his escape from Impel Down, Buggy became acquainted with Crocodile, who considered Buggy to be overly pathetic and weak; even learning that Buggy was a member of the Roger Pirates did not change his opinion of the clown.

   After the war, when Buggy became a Warlord, he borrowed a large sum of money from Crocodile to start his pirate mercenary group, Buggy's Delivery. After the Warlord system was dissolved and Marines sent a fleet to arrest Buggy, Crocodile came and sank them so he could make Buggy repay his debt and start his own company, the Cross Guild, while expressing surprise that Buggy did not flee. When Buggy revealed he could not pay, Crocodile offered to sell him into slavery and did not spare him any mercy, to which Buggy desperately replied by offering Buggy's Delivery to be used as a building foundation for Cross Guild.[16]

   However, due to Buggy's employees' overzealous admiration of him, they placed him as the foremost member of the Guild on flyers and distributed them worldwide before Buggy even had a chance to review them. As a result, the World Government mistook Buggy as the leader of this new organization and Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk as his subordinates, naming him as a new Emperor in the process. Crocodile and Mihawk became very insulted by this misunderstanding and beat Buggy up severely, but Mihawk eventually suggested using Buggy as a figurehead leader so that he and Crocodile could operate without the excessive attention, something Crocodile agreed upon. As Buggy fulfilled his role as a puppet leader, he began to fear for his future under the two superior pirates.[16] This fear was not misplaced, as Buggy was beaten up multiple times by Mihawk and Crocodile for situations he found himself in, and oftentimes Buggy has to suffer from the actions his overzealous followers commit. This constant harassment and beating up by Crocodile and Mihawk has led to Buggy constantly living in fear of their rage and the consequences he has to suffer, even wishing to be killed by them instead of working alongside them.

   On Mihawk and Crocodile's side, they both abuse their strength over Buggy multiple times by beating him up and pushing their agenda further, while rejecting his ideas and silencing him whenever he speaks up, as they consider him a deluded lowlife pirate. Despite this, Buggy does not refrain from speaking up against their wishes or without permission, even if it means he ends up beaten up.

   Eventually, Buggy learns that Shanks is finally going into the race for the One Piece, making Buggy reflect on his life and decide that he would rather die than live under the abuse of his "executives," and he rallies Cross Guild to go after the treasure too. This subsequently makes the enraged Crocodile and Mihawk forced to go along with it, as they realize that they'll lose the loyalty of their troops and organization if they kill Buggy or go against their "leader." However, despite regaining a level of control from them, Buggy still has a small level of fear of his superiors, as he immediately complies to an annoyed Crocodile telling him to sit down after the clown declares that the world will belong to Cross Guild when they find the One Piece.

   Buggy was an apprentice of the crew since childhood and was loyal to them.

   Of the Roger Pirates, most relationships between Buggy and the other crewmates remain unknown. Though he was often punished by Silvers Rayleigh, he still has much respect for the former first mate of the crew even wanting to see him again after Luffy mentioned him.[52] Buggy, just like Shanks, must have had a good relationship with Roger or at the very least showed admiration for him, as Buggy was seen crying at his execution.

   He initially held Kouzuki Oden in a poor view, as the latter's rise took attention from his crew.[23] However, after Oden joined the crew, Buggy held him in high regard. He wanted to help with Oden's wish to open Wano Country to the world despite his annoyance over that Oden had referred him as Jiro, meaning second son.[53]

   Buggy was also good friends with Portgas D. Ace. During his pursuit of Blackbeard, Ace happened across the Big Top while Buggy and his crew were partying. Attracted by the "very strong and sweet scent" of food, Ace boarded the ship unnoticed and proceeded to help himself. Buggy did not notice his presence until, upon hearing Buggy and Alvida say that they were in pursuit of Luffy but had no clue where he was, Ace offered to give them some helpful information. Ace, however, fell asleep moments later. Though Buggy's crew wanted to capture him, Buggy forbade it, knowing that Whitebeard would not hesitate to take revenge. After Ace woke up, the entire crew apparently immensely enjoyed the rest of his momentary stay (though it seems Buggy continued the party mostly out of fear).[55] At the time, Buggy was unaware that Ace was Luffy's brother or that Ace was his old captain's son.

   When the Buggy and Alvida Alliance approached Impel Down with the intention of rescuing Buggy, Cabaji exclaimed that their captain could be sentenced to execution just like their buddy Ace. Buggy himself seems to like Ace. After meeting Luffy on Level 1, he mentions that Ace, unlike Luffy, happened to be a very swell guy; they were apparently drinking buddies for a while. Buggy also told Luffy that he was very upset when he heard the news of Ace's scheduled execution, but he did not want to risk his own life to save him. Like so many at the time, Buggy was shocked to see Ace fall to Admiral Akainu. It is unknown what his reaction was to learning of Ace's lineage to his former captain Roger.

   Advertisement Enemies World Government After Buggy broke out of Impel Down and recruited many prisoners, the World Government believed that Buggy's low bounty was due to him keeping a low profile on purpose, despite being a former member of the Pirate King's crew.

   Buggy was thereby invited to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea via a letter that he received. Upon doing so, his status as a wanted criminal was retracted, and he became an ally of the World Government.[7] However, Buggy took advantage of his position as a Warlord to promote his new business, Buggy's Delivery, to profit off of wars and allow his crew to do whatever they want without fear of repercussions of their actions due to his position.

   After the Seven Warlords system was abolished, Buggy returned to being the Government's enemy as Vice Admiral Stainless wasted no time trying to arrest him. This angered and frightened Buggy as he openly accused them of using underhanded tactics. He then had no choice but to evade them by using some of his subordinates as scapegoats.[48]

   After Buggy was made the figurehead leader of Cross Guild, the Government mistook his position as genuine charisma for being able to recruit the likes of Crocodile and Mihawk, and with the new Marine hunting activities being so popular, they named him as a new Emperor of the Sea, and a great threat to the Marines as a whole.[16]

   Buggy and Shanks served in the Roger Pirates as apprentices since their childhood, and they constantly argued with each other.

   During their days as apprentices in the Roger Pirates, Buggy and Shanks would argue over just about anything. The Marines themselves describe their relationship as a 'brotherly bond'[56] and Whitebeard himself had noted the pair were always together. Kouzuki Oden even wondered whether Buggy and Shanks saw each other as friends or enemies.[57]

   In their youth, Buggy accused Shanks of being too soft to make it as a pirate, making it ironic that Shanks is currently a great well-known pirate while Buggy's crew is weak in comparison. In spite of acknowledging Shanks saving him from nearly drowning, Buggy does not hesitate to discredit him now after they went their separate ways, due to him being angry that Shanks cost him great wealth.[58] Nevertheless, Shanks also tended to Buggy after he fell ill while the rest of the crew went to Laugh Tale.[59]

   “ You're not who I thought you were, Shanks... Aren't you gonna be the king of the next generation?! I thought Captain Roger's wish was for you to follow on his footsteps! ” — Buggy's thoughts about Shanks after Roger's execution.[60]

   In spite of his dislike of Shanks, Buggy, at least internally, always thought highly of him and viewed his partner as having great potential to be the natural successor to Roger as Pirate King. That said, when Shanks rebuffed the idea of going to Laugh Tale to claim the One Piece for himself, as he did not feel ready yet for such an endeavor, Buggy was taken aback by this, believing Shanks was betraying Roger's will.[61] In addition to the lost treasure map and the Bara Bara no Mi he ended up swallowing by accident, this event was what led Buggy to carry a grudge against Shanks up until the present day.

   After over twenty years apart, Buggy argues with Shanks at Marineford. After over twenty years apart, Buggy argues with Shanks at Marineford.

   When the two met for the first time after more than twenty years, Shanks was able to trick Buggy into giving Luffy the Straw Hat back. Buggy then had a go at Shanks for it afterwards while Shanks himself was calm despite Buggy's reaction, indicating that despite their differences, the pair's relationship is still on similar grounds as in the past.[62]

   After becoming one of the Four Emperors, Buggy believes he can now compete with Shanks on equal grounds because of their shared status, even if he acknowledges that he only got the position himself through extraordinary luck. When Shanks began his search for Laugh Tale, Buggy rallied his subordinates to not fall behind and prepare to claim the ultimate treasure themselves.

   Advertisement Straw Hat Pirates Buggy attempts to execute Luffy for revenge. Buggy attempts to execute Luffy for revenge.

   Back when Buggy and his crew were terrorizing Orange Town, Luffy, Zoro, and Nami decided to form a temporary alliance in order to best Buggy and his henchmen, and after a moderately difficult battle, they achieved it. After following Luffy to Loguetown, Buggy was determined to get revenge on the Straw Hat captain and was annoyed that the latter forgot about him until recalling his name. Buggy nearly executed Luffy on the site of the Pirate King's scaffold but was struck by lightning before he could do it. After leaving Loguetown, Buggy decided to pursue Luffy on the Grand Line to continue seeking his vengeance on the Straw Hats.

   While he hated Luffy, he has proven that, though willing to exploit Luffy's naïve ways, he will work with him to his own goals if he is to benefit from it. Interestingly, Buggy's current relationship with Luffy is similar to his past relationship with Shanks: in a slightly friendly but antagonistic way. He considers Luffy to be the worst troublemaker in the world but was immensely shocked when discovering that Dragon, the Revolutionary, is Luffy's father.[63]

   Buggy and Luffy arguing on the way to Marineford. Buggy and Luffy arguing on the way to Marineford.

   Luffy came across Buggy attempting to break free from Impel Down in Level 1 of the Great Prison. The ever-opportunistic Buggy attempted to use Luffy as his means to escape but was only dragged down into the deeper levels during Luffy's attempt to rescue Portgas D. Ace. After Luffy was defeated by Magellan, Buggy and his new ally, Mr. 3, ascended Impel Down back to Level 1 and, only with the help of Luffy and his band of escapees, managed to escape the Great Prison. After arriving in Marineford, Buggy and his new crew, for the most part, neither assisted nor harmed Luffy nor his allies in the Summit War of Marineford. However, he was unwillingly used as a shield by Luffy against Dracule Mihawk. Unwillingly, Buggy also played a major role in saving Luffy's life when Crocodile threw Luffy and Jinbe in the air to get them away from Akainu. Buggy accidentally caught them and carried them away before throwing them to Trafalgar D. Water Law for treatment. Upon the battle's end, Buggy returned Luffy's straw hat and fled the battle with his new crew and Mr. 3.

   He is shown to be displeased to learn that Hajrudin and the New Giant Warrior Pirates had left Buggy's Delivery to join the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. However, despite this, Buggy benefited from the Straw Hat Crew's defeat of Doflamingo, as it has increased business for his pirate dispatch company.

   After Big Mom and Kaidou's downfalls, Luffy is shown shocked that Buggy is the leader of Cross Guild and has both Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk as his subordinates. However, Luffy doesn't take it seriously and reveals that Buggy is just a moron. Likewise, Nami wholeheartedly agreed with Luffy that Buggy becoming an Emperor was a mistake.

   Buggy wants to overthrow Luffy and the other 2 Emperors (Shanks and Blackbeard) to come out on top, a sentiment Mihawk and Crocodile consider utterly delusional.

   Advertisement Abilities and Powers As captain of the Buggy Pirates, Buggy has authority over his crew, which grew exponentially during the Impel Down Arc after he freed hundreds of powerful prisoners from Impel Down whose individual bounties are much higher than his own.[64] After hearing that Buggy was once a member of the Roger Pirates, these prisoners came to heavily respect him and follow him wherever he went.[65] The Emperor Edward Newgate even noted that Buggy's new forces could disrupt his crew's ability to save Portgas D. Ace if they were against him, so he offered to form an alliance with Buggy during the Summit War of Marineford.[66] Buggy's newfound authority created by his association with the Roger Pirates even attracted the attention of the World Government, who offered him a Warlord position.[67] Buggy used this position to run a mercenary business called Buggy's Delivery, where he had authority over a large number of powerful mercenaries including giants from Elbaph.[3] However, now that the Seven Warlords System has been dissolved, Buggy returned to being an enemy, meaning he can no longer operate outside of the law as he pleases.[68]

   Because of his alliance with Dracule Mihawk and Crocodile in the form of Cross Guild, under his supposed leadership, Buggy became recognized as one of the Four Emperors and earned a bounty of Beli 3,189,000,000. However, despite his high bounty and once being an apprentice with the renowned Roger Pirates, Buggy has never achieved the great strength and combat skills of his crewmates, particularly his fellow former apprentice and emperor Shanks.[65] In fact, physically speaking and combat wise Buggy is relatively weak compared to most of the pirates operating in the New World. It is safe to say that the only reason he survived for as long as he did is because of his lies and manipulations and several misinterpretations of him with only a few people seeing though the ruse either for their high intelligence or because they know Buggy well enough to see the truth. For the most part, he is only truly dangerous against normal citizens and novice pirates in the weakest sea East Blue, though did manage to easily defeat the Kumate Tribe with the help of Alvida, Mohji, and Cabaji.[69] However, Buggy is resilient, having sailed the Grand Line with the Roger Pirates and surviving the battles and perils they were in, including fights against opponents like the Golden Lion Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates.[70][38] Buggy has also captained his own crew through the Grand Line and has survived its perils so far, and currently operates in the New World.[3] Buggy was involved in the mass breakout of Impel Down and the Summit War of Marineford and survived, although he was rarely involved in direct combat and most of the fighters paid him little mind.

   Buggy mainly gets by with his craftiness; he frequently devises plans to unexpectedly overwhelm his opponents with his weapons and Devil Fruit. He allowed Roronoa Zoro to cut him into pieces and pretended to be dead in order to stab Zoro with a detached hand while he was off-guard.[71] He was also able to trap Luffy on Gol D. Roger's execution platform and would have successfully executed him had lightning not struck the platform.[72] Buggy is also a skilled inventor, as evidenced by his creation of extremely powerful ammunition like Buggy Balls and Muggy Balls that greatly aid in his destructive capabilities.[73][74] While alone on an unknown island, he made a trap to attempt to catch a large bird, but the bird was not fooled.[75]

   Additionally, Buggy is very opportunistic, and will frequently look to utilize other people to help him get out of trouble. This was most notably shown in Impel Down, where he freed hundreds of prisoners to get them to follow him and create a riot.[64] When the Marines identified him as a former member of the Roger Pirates, Buggy decided to quickly utilize this to build up his own image.[65] Although his efforts to be seen as great are frequently intentional, Buggy also benefited from a significant amount of luck when leading the Impel Down escapees, as even though he showed his cowardly nature multiple times, his words and actions were always misconstrued by the escapees as indicators of strength.[76][77][78]

   Advertisement Physical Abilities Buggy possesses notable physical durability, as he quickly recovered after being hit by a Muggy Ball that Dracule Mihawk rebounded back toward him in Marineford.[79] Although he avoided most of the damage by using his men as shields, Buggy was able to survive the explosion from a Buggy Ball that Luffy sent flying back at him and emerged from the wreckage of the collapsed tavern with no injuries.[80] Additionally, although he does not have immunity to lightning like Luffy, he was able to quickly get back up after being struck on the Loguetown execution platform and immediately start chasing after Luffy.[72] In Impel Down, he was able to walk through the extreme heat of Level 4 and extreme cold of Level 5 without suffering significant adverse effects.[81][82] Buggy also has tremendous willpower despite not being a strong combatant, as shown when he was still standing after Luffy unconsciously used Supreme King Haki in Marineford, and was involved in several fights among the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates during his younger days, which involved Roger, Rayleigh, Gaban on the Roger Pirates' side and Whitebeard on the opposite crew, all powerful Supreme King Haki users on their own. Even when beaten and abused and threatened with death by his "executives" Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk, Buggy still declares his intention to become Pirate King and claim the One Piece.[18]

   Buggy has a notable amount of physical strength, which is aided by his Devil Fruit allowing his hands to detach and fly. He was easily able to lift one of his men and Mayor Boodle off the ground by their necks with a single detached hand.[73][83] Additionally, he was able to lift a massive Blugori high into the air with both of his detached hands,[84] as well as carry Luffy and the very large fish-man Jinbe in the air with just his hands holding them against his torso.[85] He was also able to throw Mohji a great distance forward despite Mohji being slightly bigger than him.[80] According to Shanks, Buggy was a very good swimmer, but he lost this ability after eating his Devil Fruit.[86]

   Devil Fruit Further information: Bara Bara no Mi The Bara Bara no Mi in action. The Bara Bara no Mi in action.

   Buggy ate the Bara Bara no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to split his body into pieces and reassemble them at will. This power also makes him immune to slashing attacks.

   With the exception of his feet, Buggy can make his disassembled body parts levitate and control them telekinetically. He can launch his body parts at high speed, allowing him to strike a distant target with strong force.[71] He can also split his body to dodge opponents' attacks by detaching the section of his body that would have taken the attack and making it fly out of the way.[87]

   Furthermore, his body parts remain connected to each other, even when they are separated. For example, if his hand is detached, he can still control his fingers. Additionally, he can feel any pain that is inflicted on his detached pieces.

   Advertisement Weapons Blades Buggy wielding several knives. Buggy wielding several knives.

   Buggy's most frequently used weapons are his knives. In addition to simply holding them, he has also put his knives between his fingers to wield them like claws. He often uses his knives in conjunction with his Devil Fruit power by flying his detached hands and trying to strike people from afar; he can also throw the knives with power and accuracy. Additionally, he possesses retractable knife blades in his shoes, and can detach his legs and spin them to strike opponents. Thus, Buggy is capable of overwhelming opponents by flying his detached blade-holding limbs at rapid speed and attacking from multiple directions at once.[87]

   He wielded a sword when attempting to behead Luffy in Loguetown.[72]

   Buggy Balls and Muggy Balls Further information: Buggy Balls Buggy's most prominent weapons are his Buggy Balls, which are immensely powerful cannonballs that can instantly demolish an entire row of buildings. With this ammunition, he can terrorize a village that is not well protected such as Orange Town and easily destroy it whenever he wants. Additionally, he has also fired Buggy Balls at people who come to his base to confront him or subordinates that displease him, bringing certain death upon them.[73][88] However, his crewmates have shown to be able to survive after being hit.[80]

   Buggy throws a from inside his shoe. Buggy throws a Muggy Ball from inside his shoe.

   While in Impel Down, Buggy revealed a smaller version of the Buggy Ball known as the Muggy Ball. Despite being only slightly bigger than a bullet, the Muggy Ball possesses equivalent destructive power to a Buggy Ball, and since it is so small, Buggy can carry them on his body and throw them rather than having to shoot them out of a cannon like Buggy Balls. Buggy was able to severely injure the awakened Zoan user Minotaurus by hitting him with a Muggy Ball.[74] Muggy balls do not make Buggy balls entirely redundant, however, as they aren't able to be fired out of a cannon, so they can only be launched a fraction of the speed Buggy balls can, and are much slower.

   Buggy's face is always covered with makeup, just like a clown, and the motifs change from time to time: in his first appearance he had crossbones going down his face, forming an X; he also had two blue lines near both of his eyes, red lipstick, and his jolly roger on his hat.[1] However, in later episodes after the Loguetown Arc, his look changes. First, a green star appears in the middle of the forehead, two half-circles appear beneath the eyes, and there is a straight line on the middle of his chin.[21][22] After that (when his crew meets Ace), he has two green dots on both sides of his head and four big green dots on the rim of his hat, which still has the jolly roger on it. He also has green eyeliner and green lipstick, with a curvy line going down both sides of his face. In the Impel Down saga, he has crossbones again going down his forehead to below his eyes, two pink lines pointing up, and red lipstick.

   In his pirate captain attire, he dons a striped white and red shirt with short sleeves, white gloves reminiscent of the ones worn by clowns, a sash around his waist like many other pirates, and a pair of loose pants reaching to his calves, just above a pair of striped socks and pointy shoes. He also has a scarf around his neck. Hanging from his shoulders is an orange, fur-lined captain's coat. On his head he has an orange hat with his jolly roger on it over a neckerchief with the same pattern as his shirt. While in the manga his scarf and sash are orange, just like many other components of his attire, his pants are light brown, and the epaulets of his coat are simply gold. In the anime, he was given a much brighter color scheme, with a purple scarf, teal green sash, pale turquoise pants, and light green epaulets.

   In Impel Down, he wore a striped prisoner outfit and wore his hair in a ponytail. After escaping from the Grand Prison, he changed his prisoner uniform with clothes like the one he normally wears, with salvaged Marine uniform pieces to recreate the effects of a pirate captain: a white coat and a white tricorn that had the Marine symbols crossed out.

   As a young man serving aboard Gol D. Roger's ship, he looked mostly the same; the only notable differences were his shorter hair and smaller stature. He wore a different outfit in each flashback but dressed similarly to how he does now, usually seen in striped T-shirts (or collared shirts), white gloves, baggy pants, pointed shoes, and a sash. He wore beanies rather than a captain's hat, and he lacked the captain's coat.

   After the timeskip, Buggy's appearance has changed greatly. His hair is not tied anymore and now looks spikier. He wears a big red and white striped tricorn with a rim ornamented with several little golden balls and his crew's Jolly Roger on the front. He wears a big, red cloak, using his Devil Fruit powers to make himself appear larger.[3]

   The following events are non-canon, and therefore not considered part of the canon story.

   When he was 20 years old, Crocodile fought Douglas Bullet and their battle ended in a draw.[13]

   Concludes non-canon section.

   Crocodile witnessing Gol D. Roger's execution. Crocodile witnessing Gol D. Roger's execution.

   Twenty-four years before the current storyline, Crocodile witnessed the execution of Gol D. Roger at Loguetown at the age of 22.[14][15]

   At one point in the past, Crocodile's dream was to become the Pirate King. During his time as a rookie, he had crossed paths with Emporio Ivankov, who ended up with the knowledge of something that Crocodile does not wish to be revealed.[16]

   He once went to the New World and grew adapted to its erratic environment. However, shortly after ascending to the rank of Warlord in his early twenties, he suffered a humiliating defeat upon challenging Emperor Whitebeard,[17] which brought an abrupt end to his dream of being the Pirate King.[18] Sixteen years before the current storyline, at age 30, Crocodile relocated to the Arabasta Kingdom and became renowned as a pirate-hunting hero.[19][17]

   The Birth of Baroque Works Crocodile secretly started a crime syndicate called Baroque Works. Being careful not to attract too much attention to himself, he gathered some of the best bounty hunters in the world and gave them each a codename based on their powers.[5] His plan the whole time was to conquer Arabasta[20][21] and use the Poneglyph there to find the ancient weapon Pluton,[22] which would give him great military power.[20]

   Crocodile found Nico Robin when she was 24, at which point he made a deal with her: In exchange for his providing her protection and sanctuary from the authorities, she would be his business partner, decipher the Poneglyph, and find the location of Pluton.[23] Three and a half years before the current storyline, Robin told Crocodile that a new Warlord of the sea had been chosen, asking if he was curious about their identity. Uninterested, Crocodile simply inquired her about whether or not she had assassinated a certain witness to their artificial rainmaking ship.[24]

   Advertisement Arabasta Saga Little Garden Arc When Crocodile called to check in on Mr. 3, Sanji happened to be nearby and answered the Den Den Mushi instead.[1] Understanding that this conversation was not meant for him and that an enemy was on the other end of the call, Sanji lied to the Warlord by pretending to be Mr. 3 and claimed to have killed the Straw Hat Pirates and Nefertari Vivi. As a result, Crocodile sent the Unluckies—Mr. 13 and Miss Friday—to Little Garden to deliver an Eternal Pose to Mr. 3. When they arrived, they attacked Sanji. He easily subdued them, but the noise of their quarrel made Crocodile suspicious. Sanji pretended that he had to give the Straw Hats a final blow. Crocodile took this to mean that Mr. 3 had lied to him about defeating the enemies but ended the call with instructions to go to Arabasta. However, Crocodile asked Robin to send Mr. 2 Bon Kurei to Little Garden with orders to kill Mr. 3.[25]

   Later, Robin informed Crocodile of a pirate invasion of Arabasta, and Crocodile asked her whether they knew he was there. She replied that a civil war was going on and they might use this opportunity to their advantage, asking him whether the two of them should go. Crocodile decided to take care of it alone, reminding Robin that he was the citizens' hero.[26]

   Arabasta Arc Crocodile slays the invading Pirates. Crocodile slays the invading Pirates.

   Some pirates, Puppu and his crew, made a grave mistake in attempting to raid Nanohana. When Crocodile showed up, Puppu insulted him for being a "government dog" and, along with his crew, thoroughly stabbed the Warlord. Thinking that he had won, Puppu's mockery turned to horror when Crocodile created a sandstorm that drained the water from Puppu and his crew's bodies. They most likely died from severe dehydration as Crocodile was carrying their corpses out of town afterward.[27]

   Crocodile meets with Baroque Works. Crocodile meets with Baroque Works.

   Much later, Crocodile assembled a meeting with all of his Officer Agents at Rain Dinners, marking the first time their boss's true identity would be revealed to them. Crocodile informed his agents of the true goal of the Baroque Works and gave each of them their final missions.[20]

   Mr. 3 unexpectedly interrupted the meeting in order to request another chance to defeat the Straw Hats. Crocodile was surprised by this revelation since, after calling Little Garden, he had assumed that all of the Straw Hats and Vivi were dead. Mr. 2 confirmed that the Straw Hats and Vivi were alive since he had met them on the way to Arabasta. With the help of Mr. 2's power, the agents were able to take photographs of the Straw Hats' faces (excluding Sanji) and started to take measures to prevent Vivi from meeting with the rebel leader, Koza. Disappointed with Mr. 3, Crocodile dried him up and fed him to his Bananawani. Crocodile ordered the rest of the Officer Agents to take out the Straw Hats posthaste.[28]

   Crocodile captures Smoker and the Straw Hats. Crocodile captures Smoker and the Straw Hats.

   Monkey D. Luffy and his group pressed forward to confront the Warlord of the Sea. Upon arriving at Rainbase, Luffy and Usopp were sent to fetch some water after their long journey in the desert. Upon getting water from a bar, the two encountered Smoker and Tashigi. After a big commotion and a frenzied chase, Luffy and some of his crew managed to reach Crocodile's casino, Rain Dinners. Crocodile ordered Robin to take them to the VIP room.[29] After falling for an obvious trap, Luffy, Nami, Roronoa Zoro, Usopp, and Smoker found themselves trapped in a Seastone cage. Crocodile arrived to greet them shortly after.[30]

   Luffy and the others were powerless to punch Crocodile, as badly as they wanted to. When Robin brought Vivi, the princess was overwhelmed by anger and attacked Crocodile, but it was useless. Crocodile announced that Operation Utopia, the plan to destroy Arabasta, would commence at 7 o'clock. He made sure to explain it in an extra infuriating way, just to tick them off.[31]

   Crocodile showed Vivi the key to the Seastone cage before feeding it to a Bananawani and beginning to flood the room in an attempt to make Vivi choose between saving her friends and saving her country.[32] Luffy overheard Toto being mentioned by the Warlord and realized that Crocodile was the one causing the sandstorms that plagued Yuba.

   Before leaving, Crocodile taunted Vivi with everything he had done. This made Luffy very angry, and he begged Vivi to free them so that he could beat Crocodile. Suddenly, Crocodile received a weird call on the Den Den Mushi he used for contacting Billions.[33] The voice on the other end was familiar to him in a bad way. Sanji, nicknamed as Mr. Prince, fooled Crocodile over the snail by baiting him to leave the casino. When Crocodile saw that all his Millions were beaten by the mysterious Mr. Prince, he ran after the obvious decoy, a disguised Tony Tony Chopper.[34] He was not fooled for very long, but it was long enough.

   Robin wondered if the Straw Hats could have already found the key, and Crocodile answered by saying that the key was a fake in the first place, revealing that he had the real one. By the time they arrived at the room, the cage was swinging open underwater, while the beaten Bananawanis and a beat-up Mr. 3 floated in the water with a piece of paper on him that says "See ya shitty Croc - Mr Prince" on it. Crocodile lost his cool.[35]

   Later in the desert, Luffy saved Vivi from Crocodile's hook and stayed behind to fight him.[36] Vivi was worried about him, but the Straw Hats reassured her that Luffy would win, and they would reunite in Alubarna. Crocodile allotted three minutes of his time to battling Luffy.[37] He was unaffected by Luffy's attacks but easily annoyed by his confidence and demeanor. Crocodile attacked Luffy and made his arm wither with his power. Luffy started to panic but remembered the water Toto gave him and used it to restore his arm. Luffy yelled that Toto stated Yuba would never lose to sand. He busted out a new technique and gulped the top half of Crocodile's sandy body, which further enraged him. Crocodile told Luffy to die along with Yuba and let loose a Sables.

   Crocodile impales Luffy on his hook. Crocodile impales Luffy on his hook.

   Luffy was very upset to learn that the sandstorm would end up in Yuba, but when he tried to complain, he got impaled by Crocodile's hook. Crocodile held Luffy up and derided him for a while. Crocodile had apparently stabbed right through the water bottle around Luffy's neck on the way into his chest.[38] When the water from Luffy's bottle dripped onto Crocodile's arm, Luffy suddenly grabbed the arm and squeezed it hard enough to crunch a little. Crocodile was surprised that Luffy survived and threw him into the quicksand where he was promptly buried.[39]

   Later, Vivi arrived at the palace and gave the order for the Royal Army to blow up the palace in order to get everyone's attention, but Crocodile thwarted the plan.[40] At the castle, Robin prevented the guards from helping the King. This gave Crocodile time to make Vivi despair by telling her that Luffy died and disclose to Nefertari Cobra the fact that his true goal was Pluton.[41] At the castle, Crocodile explained that he needed a weapon to establish his military power and be able to counter the World Government forces. Hence, he was searching for the ancient weapon Pluton which is hidden somewhere in Arabasta. To find it, Crocodile was searching for a place containing "true history." So as to convince Cobra to help him, Crocodile revealed his trump card: a bomb was rigged to explode in 30 minutes, killing the rebels and royal guards all together.[42] The Tsumegeri Guards then came to the king's defense, attempting to kill Crocodile by drinking Hero Water to increase their strength. They attacked Crocodile, but he avoided their attacks by turning into sand and leaping up to the roof of the palace, not even giving them a chance to touch him. The Tsumegeri Guards died from the aftereffects of the Hero Water, resulting in an angry Chaka attacking Crocodile, revealing his Devil Fruit powers, only for Crocodile to effortlessly defeat him.[43]

   When Koza arrived at the palace to force Cobra's surrender, Crocodile gloated that he had manipulated him all this time. Upon learning of Crocodile's bomb, Koza wanted to warn the city but was stopped by Vivi, who stated that it would create a panic, instead telling him to stop the war. Crocodile moved in to attack the pair before they could, but Chaka used what strength he had left to intervene, allowing them to escape. The Royal Army raised the white flag, with Koza in front, but he was shot down by a double agent in the Royal Army, provoking the rebels.[44] A battle started in the palace plaza as Vivi watched in horror. After gloating to her that she should've let Koza warn the city and that her ideals would be what destroys the country, Crocodile proceeded to throw Vivi off the palace wall, but she was saved by Luffy who came in flying on Pell's back, much to Crocodile's shock as he thought Luffy had died in their last fight. Vivi met the rest of the Straw Hats on the foot of the wall and went to search for the bomb with them and Pell.[45]

   During his previous fight, Luffy noticed that water made Crocodile unable to turn into sand as he and the water barrel that Toto gave were pierced by Crocodile's hook. Realizing this, he brought a huge barrel of water to aid him in his rematch against the Warlord. But as Luffy fought Crocodile again, he soon realized that his barrel of water could easily be jeopardized. Figuring this out, Luffy decided to switch tactics by drinking all of his water and storing it within himself, essentially becoming what he dubbed "Mizu Luffy". While this new tactic infuriated Crocodile, it proved very effective for Luffy. Unfortunately, he gained enough of an upper hand for Crocodile to stop holding back.[46]

   Crocodile dehydrates and defeats Luffy. Crocodile dehydrates and defeats Luffy.

   Crocodile ordered Nico Robin to have Cobra lead her to the Poneglyph that contained the location of Pluton, planning to catch up after he finished dealing with Luffy. He then used his strongest technique, Ground Secco and Ground Death, to turn the entire area they were standing on into sand. Though Luffy was able to evade Crocodile's devastating powers of erosion, he was caught by his opponent. As Crocodile's hand held Luffy, he was severely dehydrated and was once again left for dead. Fortunately, however, some water bubbles that Luffy misfired earlier dropped on him, reviving him from his near-death state.

   Miss All Sunday easily dispatched the Marine grunts who had held her up and defeated Tashigi just as easily with her Devil Fruit ability. As Tashigi struggled for her sword, Crocodile appeared, calling her superior Smoker "cowardly" and mocking her and the Marines' ideals of "Justice" before departing again. Tashigi was left crying and confused as to what action she should take and angry that she was not strong enough. Miss All-Sunday and King Cobra went to the hidden Grave of the Kings and found the Poneglyph. Crocodile soon arrived but did not get the information he wanted from the stone. Nico Robin alone could read it but told him that all that was said on the Poneglyph was Arabasta's history. He turned his back on Robin, having no further use for her, and impaled her with his hook, easily avoiding her attempt to kill him. Cobra triggered a destruction mechanism in the grave to keep the secrets safe, but Crocodile pointed out that he can easily escape with his ability.[47] On his way out however, he was confronted by Luffy again.[48]

   Crocodile fighting Luffy for the third time. Crocodile fighting Luffy for the third time.

   Annoyed by Luffy's stubbornness, he asked him what his reason was for fighting and being killed. To that question, Luffy answered that he needed to give back the country. Crocodile laughed because he thought he had not yet accomplished that part, but Luffy answered him that if it was the case, Vivi shall be happier, and then he ran towards Crocodile and gave him a direct punch in the face. Crocodile was surprised about that since Luffy carried no more water. He finally understood that what allowed Luffy to hit him was the blood from his wounds. Realizing that he was facing someone he should no longer underestimate, he took the upper part of his hook off, revealing a poisonous weapon.[49] Luffy fought him and gained the upper hand but eventually got struck by the hook and was poisoned. However, his determination to defeat Crocodile easily overcame this, much to the latter's frustration.[50]

   As the battle continued, Luffy kicked Crocodile into the air. Upon doing so, Luffy was blasted with one of Crocodile's powerful techniques. Luffy however withstood the attack and prepared to retaliate. Using a series of moves, Luffy propelled himself up to Crocodile to deliver the final blow. As a last resort, Crocodile tried to stop Luffy by turning his hand into blades. This did not stop Luffy as he broke through the sand created weapons with his bare fists and delivered a flurry of punches onto his opponent. Luffy attacked Crocodile with such force that it penetrated a layer of pure bedrock and sent Crocodile flying, finally defeating the Warlord.[51] Upon being defeated, the effect of his Devil Fruit that was preventing it from raining was broken and Arabasta's rain returned.

   The Baroque Works president landed in the center of the capital, much to the confusion of the fighting citizens.[52] After the truth of his crimes were finally made known to the rebels and royal guard, Tashigi, going by her own justice as Captain Smoker ordered, arrested Crocodile, who was stripped of all titles and permissions granted by the Marines and the World Government. All Baroque Works agents in the city were rounded up and arrested.[4] The only ones who managed to escape were Mr. 3 and Mr. 2 Bon Kurei, the latter of whom assisted the Straw Hats in escaping the country.

   The World Government falsified the entire incident, embarrassed that a pirate had saved the country rather than themselves. To the Marines, Smoker was declared the one who captured Crocodile (much to the former's disgust and anger).[53] The only recognition the World Government gave to Luffy was raising his bounty.[54]

   Advertisement Water 7 Saga Miss Goldenweek's "Operation: Meet Baroque Works" Crocodile was taken to a prison and was put in the same cell with Mr. 4 and Mr. 1. After Miss Goldenweek broke out all of the other Baroque Works members, Crocodile and Mr. 1 decided to stay behind. Crocodile was enjoying one of his cigars, smiling as he watched his former agents escape. On their way out, Miss Goldenweek used her Rainbow Color Trap to transform his appearance based on his dream, making him appear as the Pirate King.[55] Crocodile was later sent to Impel Down along with Mr. 1, Mr. 2, and Mr. 3.[56]

   Summit War Saga Impel Down Arc Later in Impel Down, he was serving his sentence in Level 6. He was placed in a cell not too far from Jinbe and "Fire-Fist" Ace.[57] He commented on the fact that Whitebeard's life was at risk due to the incoming war between him and the World Government, stating with a chuckle that several "Silver Medalists" (such as himself) would love to have their revenge on Whitebeard and Roger due to having only ever been defeated by the two in some way.[58] He remained silent when Boa Hancock came to visit and was one of the three (the other two being Ace and Jinbe) who was unaffected by her beauty.[59]

   When Luffy, Emporio Ivankov, and Inazuma were stuck on Level 6, Crocodile called out to Luffy, offering to create an opening out of Level 6. Luffy was defiant at first as he had yet to forgive Crocodile for what he did to Vivi and her country. He seemed confident that Luffy could not refuse his offer. Crocodile had at first lost interest in the outside world, but hearing that Whitebeard was going to war with the Marines had caused him to reconsider as it was a perfect chance to take down the legendary pirate. Luffy wanted nothing to do with him, considering that the Arabasta incident was still fresh in his mind. Ivankov however suggested to free him, much to Luffy's shock. It was then revealed that Ivankov has long known the former Warlord as far back as when he was a rookie. Ivankov assured Luffy that should Crocodile get out of line, he would take care of him himself since he knew of something in Crocodile's past that he would not want revealed.

   Crocodile and Jinbe freed from their cells. Crocodile and Jinbe freed from their cells.

   Ivankov then stated that he was only willing to free him if Crocodile helped out (which Crocodile already offered to do). Jinbe suddenly spoke out, begging to help, as he wanted to save Ace as badly as Luffy, even willing to die "a glorious death" to do so. Noting this, Luffy agreed to his wishes. The other prisoners in Level 6 also asked to be let out too, but Ivankov silenced them with a Death Wink. With that done, Inazuma freed Crocodile and Jinbe of their chains and the five prepared to break out of Impel Down.

   After being released from his bonds, Jinbe warned Crocodile to lay off Whitebeard though Crocodile merely asked if Jinbe would just prefer to fight to the death immediately if that was the case.[60] Ivankov called out for Luffy to proceed only to be informed by Inazuma that he, Crocodile, and Jinbe had already pressed on. Ivankov shrugged this off and told the others to follow after him. Bon Kurei was also among the group, having been injected with Tension Hormones (though they worked a little too well since he cannot stop spinning). In a stairway leading to Level 4 from Level 5, Luffy, Crocodile, and Jinbe rushed on. The latter mentioned that the execution was set for 3 o'clock and that Whitebeard could make his move at any point while Ace was on the ocean. Luffy was content on the premise that Ace would not be executed before he was scheduled to.

   Crocodile went ahead of the two and dried up the entrance to Level 4, turning it to sand, only to find the security on that level were waiting for them. This did not stop the trio though and they attacked at full force. Crocodile used his Barchan ability, Luffy used his Gomu Gomu no Ame, and Jinbe used his Fish-Man Karate (which was so powerful he did not even need to touch the guards to knock them back). It soon became evident to the guards that they could not beat the trio.

   On Level 4, Crocodile threw some keys into a cell and asked Daz Bonez to leave with him. Daz agreed to leave and joined the group.[61] However, Sadie and her Jailer Beasts arrived and quickly began taking out most of the group with nothing seemingly able to affect them. Just as all seems lost, Luffy, Jinbe, and Crocodile rushed forward and struck them with powerful attacks, knocking out the Jailer Beasts in one hit, much to the horror of Sadi and the shock of the guards.[62]

   Crocodile meets his warlord successor Blackbeard. Crocodile meets his warlord successor Blackbeard.

   Suddenly, as Blackbeard arrived at the scene, Crocodile witnessed his successor's arrival.[63] Luffy proclaimed he would not let Ace die and started to attack again. Blackbeard retaliated by summoning a black whirlpool, sucking Luffy toward him and slamming him into the ground. Crocodile was genuinely surprised Luffy actually bled from the attack since he is made of rubber, and Blackbeard did not use haki, but instead used the ability of his Devil Fruit to siphon off Luffy's power. Crocodile picked him out as his successor in the Seven Warlords of the Sea and asked him why he was throwing away his Warlord status after working for it so hard. Blackbeard commented that it was part of his scheme although it was not going smoothly. He then retorted and asked Crocodile since when did he have to explain his plans to him, to which Crocodile responded that he really did not care what he was planning, which caused Blackbeard to comment on Crocodile being "short on manners".

   A short while later the Minotaurus started attacking the escape force. In shock, Mr. 2 Bon Kurei asked why it was already up since him, Luffy, Buggy, and Mr. 3 had defeated it not that long ago. Crocodile then explained that the four Jailer Beasts are Awakened Zoan users, and they have super strength and high recovery rates and that the three guards which he, Jinbe, and Luffy had just beaten would recover soon as well. However, they lost the ability to go back to their human form. However, he was not concerned about this and stated that Magellan would arrive soon.[64] He was later seen making his way through Level 2 with Luffy and Jinbe and commented on how vacant it was.[65] A short while later in Level 1, Buggy literally ran into him while fleeing the Jailer Beasts. At first, Buggy started telling him to watch where he was going, but upon seeing who he just ran into, Buggy screamed in shock and fear along with Mr. 3. Crocodile asked Mr. 3 what a worthless piece of trash such as him was doing there, which caused Mr. 3 much fear and dread.[65] However, Crocodile was quite impressed later as Mr. 3 saved everyone from Magellan's Hydra using his Candle Wall.[66]

   While Luffy then decided to take on Magellan with the help of Mr. 3's wax abilities, Magellan recognized the wall made of wax which Mr. 3 gloats is tough as steel and enough to block his attacks.[66] Crocodile, Jinbe, Buggy, Mr. 1, Mr. 2, and the other prisoners found their way out in order to get a ship. Although they awaited the Marine ships at the entrance, not a single ship was waiting in front of Impel Down. They then noticed some of the Marine ships sailing away at a far end.[66]

   Crocodile, Buggy, and Mr. 1 all ride on a makeshift raft, carried by Jinbe. Crocodile, Buggy, and Mr. 1 all ride on a makeshift raft, carried by Jinbe.

   Buggy, Mr. 1, and Crocodile jump onto the door before Jinbe carried it from under the water toward the ships. The prisoners were more than over-enthusiastic at the sight of seeing two Warlords on their side in action as well as their savior Buggy along with them. Buggy, however, just jumped on to get away from the prison so as to not face Magellan.[66]

   Just as the four came closer to the Marine ships, the Marines spotted them and opened fire. Jinbe dodged them then stated that he was going to launch them onto the ship before going underwater. Buggy began to freak out as their speed decreased and the makeshift raft on the verge of getting hit by the ships. Jinbe, meanwhile gathers as much power as he can before sending it out into a strong ocean current that rockets Buggy, Crocodile, and Mr. 1 onto the deck of one of the ships (the former two landed without trouble, but Buggy landed flat on his face). The Marines quickly pointed their guns at the bunch but before they can, Jinbe hit the ship with a spear wave much to Crocodile's annoyance. Jinbe apologized, mentioning he got careless since that’s the ship they were going to use.[66] A short while later, he helped defend the ship from cannon fire by stopping the cannon balls with a sandstorm.[67] Crocodile told the escapees to fire the ship's cannons, which Buggy repeated to the crew but made it sound like it was his idea.[68]

   Advertisement Marineford Arc After the escape, he was seen having a conversation with Jinbe about how he summoned the whale sharks. He commented on how it seemed odd that Jinbe could summon whale sharks. Crocodile also talked about how the fish-men were a violent race, to which Jinbe agreed.[69] After the ship was contacted by the Marines, Buggy and the rest of the prisoners that escaped with him were in shock and terror about their destination and they wanted to stop the ship. Crocodile explained that they can only go to Marineford or Enies Lobby because the current only flows to those two places.[69]

   Later, when the prisoners that were released by Buggy became riled up and wanted to take the ship to escape, Crocodile, Luffy, and Jinbe got ready to do what was necessary to subdue or kill them, but Buggy managed to convince them to join the battle instead. Crocodile remained on the ship with Luffy and the others, approaching the battle of Marineford. Luffy tried to talk the others into pushing the boat so that it would slide down the back of the wave.[70]

   Before they did, though, the Den Den Mushi on board intercepted the order, which was to just ignore the schedule and move up Ace's execution. Panicking, Luffy told the others that they need to hurry. Ivankov performed Hell Wink in hopes of shoving the battleship off of the wave, but instead of sliding down, it was knocked forward, flipping upside down and sending all of the inmates plummeting towards the sea.[70] He was later seen alongside the other Impel Down fugitives, falling from the sky to Marineford.[71]

   Through an act of pure fortune, the battleship landed in one of the few spots of the ocean that remained unfrozen. Although the impact split the boat in two, those on board fell into the ocean unharmed. Crocodile, along with the other Devil Fruit users was rescued by Jinbe, who fished them out of the water. Onlookers were shocked that Crocodile, as well as the other prisoners, arrived in the middle of the war. As Ivankov looked around, he noticed that Crocodile made his first move, appearing behind Whitebeard, ready to impale him with his golden hook. Before he could, Luffy activated Gear Second and intercepted Crocodile. Crocodile reminded Luffy that they had a deal, to which Luffy responded that because Whitebeard was important to Ace, he would not let Crocodile touch him. Marco remarked to himself that Ace's brother was not half bad.[70]

   Crocodile and Mr. 1 then fought through all that got in their way as Crocodile made his way towards Whitebeard. While many of Whitebeard's crew attempted to stop Crocodile from attacking the old man again, Crocodile brushed them aside with a sandstorm. Jozu then lunged at Crocodile, managing to strike Crocodile using haki.

   As Jozu attempted to attack Crocodile again with Diamond body, he was stopped by Doflamingo, who was riding on his back and controlling his movement. While Crocodile seemed antagonistic towards Doflamingo, Doflamingo asked if he and Crocodile could team up.[72] However, Crocodile laughed at the offer and told Doflamingo that he was aware that Doflamingo was asking him to be a subordinate. Doflamingo laughed at how he thought Crocodile had learned his lesson, to which Crocodile answered that if he had, he would not have escaped Impel Down in the first place. He then performed Sables and attempted to blow Doflamingo away. The attack was not confined to Doflamingo, though, as Buggy was accidentally sucked into the vortex as well.[73]

   When Squard stabbed Whitebeard and let everyone think that Whitebeard betrayed his allies in exchange for his own crew, Crocodile shouted at Whitebeard in disgust, claiming that he was not so weak during the last time they fought.[74]

   Up on the execution platform, the guards were about to execute Ace. However, they were blown back by Crocodile. While Sengoku wondered why Crocodile would aid his own enemy, the former Warlord noted that he only did it because he did not want to see the Marines be satisfied. Suddenly, taking everyone by surprise, Crocodile's head came flying off of his body. Doflamingo, standing behind Crocodile, said that he was jealous that he had decided to collaborate with Whitebeard instead of him. Forming his head back onto his body, Crocodile responded by saying that he was not teaming up with anyone. Doflamingo asks if this was the same as blowing him off, and Crocodile admitted that it was. At this point Doflamingo attacks Crocodile, who parried it with his hook.[75]

   As Luffy was about to be attacked, Whitebeard's allies jumped in and protected him, telling him that he had to go on ahead while Whitebeard held the Marines off. Ivankov told Luffy that Whitebeard was putting all of his faith in him; Luffy answered by saying that he did not care about Whitebeard and that he was only there to save Ace. Dracule Mihawk attempted to attack Luffy, but was stopped by Mr. 1, who said that he was protecting him only by Crocodile's orders. After Mihawk struck Mr. 1 down, Crocodile interfered and protected his right-hand man, telling Mihawk to watch out because he was in a bad mood.[76]

   Later, the Blackbeard Pirates took Whitebeard's life, robbing Crocodile of his revenge, since all Crocodile could do was observe his lifeless, but still standing body. When Admiral Akainu had Jinbe and Luffy cornered, Crocodile repelled Akainu. Crocodile revealed himself and used Sables to throw Luffy and Jinbe into the air, claiming if they were gonna protect Luffy, they had to do it right. The duo flied until they plowed into Buggy who was still escaping, much to his surprise. His followers thought he was actually trying to save them. Just as Buggy was fleeing, Akainu fired a magma fist at them but was stopped by the Whitebeard commanders who commented and proclaimed that they would protect Luffy. Crocodile was then seen standing alongside the Whitebeard Pirates and prepared to face off against Akainu.[77]

   It is unknown what happened during the confrontation with Akainu, but he later appeared unharmed when Shanks was calling for a ceasefire between the three factions. He and Mr. 1 slipped away from Marineford and escaped when Sengoku accepted the ceasefire because of Shanks' arrival.[78]

   Three weeks after the war, Crocodile and Daz Bonez were on an unidentified island in Paradise. Looking over the newspaper, he remarked that Luffy and Jinbe, right after having been saved, were committing foolish acts. Bonez commented that they must have some sort of plan, or they were just being crazy, and then stated that Luffy suffered "wounds" that do not heal quickly. Crocodile contradicted Bonez's remark, replying that his (Crocodile's) "wounds" were already healed, and that he was heading back to the New World as proof. Crocodile invited his former subordinate to come with him, and Bonez accepted without hesitation.[79]

   During the Timeskip Over the last two years, Crocodile successfully eluded any Marines sent to capture him and remained in hiding in the New World.[80] At some point, he lent Buggy—who had become a Warlord of the Sea—the funds for establishing Buggy's Delivery, a mercenary company.[81]

He hires some pirates to seek for it but ends fighting Law by himself. He eventually discovered the truth about the Dyna Stones, but the security around them is so high he prefers to retire to making up a plan.[84]

   One Piece: Stampede Crocodile came to Delta Island during the Pirates Festival hosted by Buena Festa. While the Expo was going on, he snuck into Festa's lair. There, he encountered Nico Robin, who he referred to by her old code name, and Trafalgar Law and recruited Law into his plan to bring down Festa and his ally Douglas Bullet.

   Following Crocodile's plan, Law gathered up an alliance to defeat Bullet consisting of himself, Luffy, Boa Hancock, Sabo, and Smoker, and as they worked to attack Bullet's monstrous colossus, Crocodile stepped in and unleashed a sandstorm to help damage the colossus. When the alliance succeeded at destroying the colossus, Crocodile attempted to seize Bullet's treasure, an Eternal Pose pointing to Laugh Tale. However, he was stopped by Roronoa Zoro. Luffy proceeded to defeat Bullet, and Crocodile attempted to grab the Eternal Pose again, but Luffy destroyed it and left him empty-handed.[85]

   Concludes non-canon section.

   Wano Country Arc After hearing about the abolition of the Warlord system, Crocodile contacted Dracule Mihawk and offered to team up with him since an organization led by the two of them would not be taken lightly by the Marines, partly due to Mihawk's past reputation as a "Marine Hunter". He lastly said that the both of them share a distrust of others. Mihawk accepted the offer.

   Crocodile then traveled to Karai Bari Island and, together with Daz Bonez, destroyed the Marine warships that were surrounding the island. After meeting with Buggy, Crocodile demanded back the money that Buggy owed him as he needed it to start his new organization, telling Buggy to take full responsibility for Crocodile intends to sell him into slavery as compensation for the sums that Buggy could not produce. He even brings up that some measure of trust he has with Buggy, born from their time together during the Impel Down mass-breakout, was what compelled Crocodile into lending him money in the first place; that, and Crocodile expected repayment and with interest. Buggy, however, did not have the money so he instead offered for Buggy's Delivery to work for Crocodile's for free, which Crocodile accepted. Specializing in advertising, Buggy's men designed the Cross Guild's poster and distributed it. Because Buggy's men prominently displayed him in the design,[86] the Marines considered Buggy to be the leader, declaring him an Emperor.[2]

   Later, Crocodile and Mihawk, displeased about Buggy being acknowledged as the leader of the organization and as an Emperor, traveled to Karai Bari Island together in order to punish Buggy and demand an explanation. After hearing Buggy's explanation, Mihawk claimed that Buggy taking the heat as a figurehead might not be a bad idea and stated that they could always get rid of him when the need arose, to which Crocodile agreed. Buggy then introduced Crocodile and Mihawk to his followers.[87]

   When Buggy promised Crocodile and Mihawk a ship for the Cross Guild would be shown, both were displeased by the obvious resemblance of the ship with Buggy, deciding to beat him up again as a punishment and have his head hang up from a hook. Crocodile was then discussing the positive reception of the Cross Guild with Mihawk, referring to his Operation Utopia still ongoing, but that they were still lacking strength. Both he and Mihawk then got annoyed by Buggy when they were questioned by Buggy as pirates for just settling for small goals instead of the big treasures. Both got even angrier when Buggy announced to them his intention to become the Pirate King and go claim the One Piece alongside the other 3 Emperors. Crocodile just replied that Buggy's title of Emperor seemingly created a false sense of superiority for Buggy, stating Piracy was just a business, nothing more. When Buggy started to announce to his crew his plans of going for the One Piece, Crocodile tried to silence him by stepping on his head, but was unable to stop him and then got extremely angry when Buggy announced they would go for the One Piece.[88]

   Crocodile was listening to Vegapunk's broadcast and took a specific interest when Pluton was mentioned.[89] With the broadcast nearing its end, Crocodile became visibly annoyed at Buggy's henchmen when they heard the rest of Vegapunk's message and jumped to the conclusion that Buggy knew everything all along.[90] As Buggy played his crew's hype into another chance to make himself look good, Crocodile was unimpressed, and told the pirate clown to sit down.[91]Sir Crocodile from One Piece is a cunning mastermind, former Seven Warlords of the Sea member, and the main villain of the Alabasta Arc.

   "Desert King" Sir Crocodile[3][13] is a former Warlord of the Sea[7] and former president—under the codename "Mr. 0"—of the mysterious crime syndicate Baroque Works.[14] During his time as Warlord, Crocodile maintained a public facade of helping both the people of Arabasta Kingdom and the Marines, all while secretly using Baroque Works to weaken Arabasta for conquest. After his plot was exposed by Princess Nefertari Vivi and the Straw Hat Pirates, whose captain Monkey D. Luffy defeated him in battle, he was stripped of his title and arrested[4] alongside most of his top subordinates (save his former Vice-President Nico Robin, who went on to join the Straw Hats).

   Sent to the legendary prison Impel Down[15] for execution, Crocodile was later freed by Luffy in exchange for aiding the rescue of Portgas D. Ace,[16] and so entered the Summit War of Marineford.[17] While initially aiming to kill Whitebeard, his contempt for the Marines led him to ally with Luffy and the Whitebeard Pirates. After the war, he and his subordinate Daz Bonez escaped from Marineford and decided to head out to the New World.[18] After the disbandment of the Seven Warlords, Crocodile now works as a co-leader of the Cross Guild alongside Dracule Mihawk and under the figurehead leadership of Buggy, who was mistakenly made one of the Four Emperors.[19] Sometime prior to the disbanding of the Warlords, Vegapunk cloned Crocodile as one of the Seraphim to replace the Warlords.[20] Crocodile is a tall man with a wide chest, broad shoulders, and a thick neck. He has pale skin and nape-length black hair, which is kept neatly slicked back, though strands tend to fall in front of his face during battles. Crocodile has various battle wounds, most notably a long-stitched scar at the bridge of his nose that stretches across his face and a large hook made from a tough gold alloy in place of his left hand. His black eyes (orange in the manga) are deep-set and heavy-lidded. His eyes can be seen as white within black pupils in the anime, and his thin eyebrows are characteristically drawn upward in the middle.[21][7] This gives his usual facial expression a feeling of condescension and distrust. Crocodile speaks with a deep, relaxed voice, and he is usually seen smoking a thick cigar produced by his company. In the anime, his skin is somewhat of a grayish color.

   His theme of dress is meant to convey the image of an Italian mafia boss. In his original appearance, Crocodile wore a bright orange, black-striped button-up vest over a long-sleeve peach shirt (white in the manga and One Piece: Pirate Warriors series), along with a blue scarf, dark brown suit pants, and polished black shoes with gold buckles. He also wore a long, thick, dark-pelted fur coat (fully dark green in the manga and One Piece: Pirate Warriors, dark gray with a regular gray fur trim in the anime, and dark green with a light green trim in Movie 8) over his shoulders.[22][21][7]

   After he was incarcerated at Impel Down, he wore a striped prisoner uniform, like most other prisoners, but was somehow permitted to keep his gold hook.[23] After joining Luffy and Jinbe on their mission to save Ace, he obtained a full change of clothes from the supplies of Newkama Land and thereafter wore a black shirt, a green scarf, dark grey slacks, and a black overcoat with brown tan (light color in the anime) fur trim.[24] After the Summit War of Marineford, he is seen in attire that greatly resembles the one from the Arabasta Kingdom, consisting of a vest over a plain shirt, a scarf around his neck, suit pants, elegant shoes, and a fur coat draped around his shoulders.[18]

   After the timeskip, his apparel continues to resemble his outfit during the Arabasta Arc but with a purple vest that features diagonal crossing stripes rather than squares. He wore a white shirt and orange scurf and retained his black coat.[19]

   In all his appearances, he wears a single gold hoop earring in his right ear, and on his right hand, he usually has several golden rings with different colored gemstones on every finger except the ring finger, for reasons unknown (in the anime version of the Arabasta Arc, it was his middle finger that was bare.) This has since been corrected in recent arcs.

   As a child, Crocodile had a similar hairstyle to his adult self but did not yet have his trademark scar and hook. He wore simple clothing with a large pistol slung on his belt.[25] Overall, he is one of the most enduring and noteworthy adversaries of the series, being the first enemy to completely defeat Luffy in battle. He is the main antagonist of the Arabasta Arc and the Arabasta Saga overall, a tentative ally in both the Impel Down and Marineford Arcs, and a supporting antagonist in the Final Saga.Crocodile is a seasoned, cunning, and business-savvy pirate who is self-assured and confident in himself and his own abilities, as evidenced by his former title as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, which he had held for years. He enjoys toying with weaker opponents, often grinning and laughing smugly during battles. However, due to his overconfidence, he seriously underestimated Luffy's willpower, and this eventually led to his defeat.

   Crocodile was first introduced as an intimidating and sophisticated mastermind, although to the people of the Arabasta Kingdom, he was viewed as a savior figure who protected the country from pirate attacks as part of his duty as a Warlord of the Sea. In spite of his status as a national hero, Crocodile could not care less for the local population and their adoration for him, looking down on them as fools and only acting against threats in order to keep up appearances.[21] In his plot to take over Arabasta, Crocodile callously and inhumanly orchestrated the destruction of several communities, with the intent of inciting strife that would eventually lead into a bloody civil war. Crocodile's actions were enough to disgust even former bounty hunter Roronoa Zoro, who described the Warlord as the worst of scoundrels.[26]

   Crocodile punishing Mr. 3 for failure. Crocodile punishing Mr. 3 for failure.

   Crocodile's willingness to kill shows his pitiless nature, and he does not think twice about sentencing another person to death. He is also very quick to get angry if someone insults or ridicules him in any way; Crocodile told Nico Robin that he had killed everyone who had ever insulted him.[27][28] By his own admission, Crocodile is not always rational.[29]

   Despite his low tolerance for receiving insults, Crocodile has the habit of taunting others, frequently using the word "worthless" to refer to the desperate struggles of his enemies, although he seems to have changed this habit slightly since fighting Luffy. Crocodile is known to belittle his foes, generally implying that they are far inferior to him, whether he is battling a rookie[30][31] or a fellow Warlord (namely Donquixote Doflamingo, who had a former bounty almost four times larger than its own).[32] Crocodile's capacity for looking down on others is so high that he even told Dracule Mihawk, the World's Strongest Swordsman, to "watch himself".[33]

   In battle, Crocodile shows a complete lack of fear and doubt, although this trait was broken down a bit during his third battle with Luffy. He usually appears to be very composed and fearless, even when facing fearsome opponents like Whitebeard,[34] Dracule Mihawk,[33] or Akainu.[35] If Crocodile is extremely angry or annoyed with his victim, he will rarely kill them outright, instead leaving them to suffer as they slowly die. This proved to be a bad habit, which ultimately led to his defeat. In his first and second fights with Luffy, instead of killing him straight away, Crocodile left Luffy to suffer.[36][37] Because of this carelessness, Luffy was able to come back on two different occasions and finally defeat him.[38] This, along with sheer luck, is the only reason Luffy lived through any of his fights with Crocodile. This also allowed Mr. 3 to survive Crocodile's attempt to feed him to the Bananawani, which proved to be instrumental to the survival of the Straw Hats.[39]

   Crocodile has displayed an extremely cynical and patronizing attitude, showing complete disregard for the romantic pirate lifestyle and stating that all the values that the status of Pirate King had once symbolized were now worthless to him. Crocodile valued military power above popularity, renown, and treasure, believing that only ignorant fools declare their grandiose dreams. He referred to having trust and faith in others as an idiotic thing to do several times during the Arabasta Arc, claiming to have done away with countless people and going as far as to deride those who fight for someone else, making their defeats all the harsher.[40] [41]

   Crocodile has been shown to almost completely lack any code of honor.[42] Extremely pragmatic to the point of treachery, Crocodile once offered a sadistic choice to Vivi, only to later reveal that it would not matter in the end, making any effort on her part meaningless.[43] One of the few vestiges of honor he ever displayed was in his third battle with Luffy, during which he stated that Luffy deserved an honorable death from his venomous hook. Due to the situation at the time of battle, this could be seen as more an ironic act of cruelty than honor, but he did seem to regard the use of his rarely seen poison hook as a tribute to Luffy's tenacity.[44] As another example of his distorted sense of honor, after Whitebeard had been injured by Squard, Crocodile refused to fight him in that weakened state. In fact, he became furious at Whitebeard's loss of strength out of pride, having been defeated by the Emperor in the past.[45]

   After being defeated by Luffy and being stripped of his Warlord title, Crocodile apparently lost interest in the outside world.[46] He refused to escape with the rest of his subordinates during the breakout detailed in the eighth Cover Story.[47] Upon his capture, he disregarded the notion of escaping simply because he did not feel like it, perhaps assuming that escape would come easily to him if he changed his mind. Similarly, he smiled at the news that he would be sent to Impel Down and seemed apathetic during his imprisonment. Crocodile was the only Impel Down inmate who appeared to be enjoying himself; he was initially seen smiling and mocking his fellow prisoners. He claimed that he was only in Impel Down because he chose to stay, an assertion well in line with his overly condescending demeanor. His only apparent motivation to leave Impel Down was the chance to enact revenge against Whitebeard.[46] Following the war, Crocodile seemed eager to journey to the New World with Mr. 1, having reignited his ambitious side once more.[18]

   Crocodile seems to have mellowed out since his defeat in Arabasta at least to some degree. He seems more willing to assist others, having offered to aid Luffy in escaping from Impel Down, and he nonchalantly accepted help from others as well. Certain revelations imply that he may not be as heartless as he lets on. During the war, he went beyond his personal agenda several times to save his allies' lives. He saved Ace's life[48] and protected Mr. 1 and Luffy from Mihawk.[33] He even prevented Akainu from cornering Luffy and Jinbe as they desperately tried to escape the scene of the battle. Nevertheless, he claimed that he only saved them because if he had not, the Marines would feel victorious, and that prospect irritated him.[48][35]

   In addition, Crocodile has some sort of weakness that he seems to be deeply embarrassed of and would apparently do anything to keep it from becoming public. The only one who seems to know of it is Emporio Ivankov, who uses his secret to keep him from betraying Luffy's group while escaping Impel Down.

   Crocodile has a distinct laugh that starts with "Ku" (i.e., Kuhahahaha!). In the anime, he tends to laugh at a much slower pace than one might expect, his "hahaha"s lapsing into "ah-ah-ah"s on occasion.

   Baroque Works was Crocodile's first known attempt at establishing an organization to aid him in achieving power after his loss to Whitebeard in the New World. As president of Baroque Works, Crocodile established a set of guidelines for his employees to follow in order to keep the company's operations hidden from the public eye, all while expecting monetary funds (from bounty hunting) and status reports from them periodically.

   Crocodile's relationship with his employees, in regard to the grand scale of Baroque Works, was virtually non-existent. His identity was shrouded in complete mystery to everyone in the organization except for Nico Robin.[49] This implies that people may not have trusted Mr. 0 as a boss if they had known he was Crocodile the Warlord himself, which was reflected through Mr. 2 in particular, who reacted to Mr. 0's reveal negatively at first. Still, Crocodile's own strength and reputation were enough to intimidate the Officer Agents into not raising any further objections.[50]

   Crocodile did not refrain from acting cruelly towards the Baroque Works agents under his employment, especially those who failed or betrayed him.[51][52][53] However, he was also fully willing to sacrifice them to achieve his ambitions.[54][55]

   Officer Agents Crocodile's connection to Robin was strictly business-related. He did not consider her a friend, only a tool for his own ambitions. At best, he would praise her intelligence and ability to think ahead. Robin was trusted as the manager of Crocodile's private casino, Rain Dinners.

   Crocodile is trusting of Daz Bones, having gone out of his way to rescue his former subordinate from imprisonment and later asking Mr. 1 to join him in the New World, which he accepted without hesitation.[18] Daz, in return, is very loyal to his boss, even getting angry if someone disrespects him.[56]

   Miss Double Finger, like her fellow Officer Agents, was shocked to learn Mr. 0's true identity and continued to appear moderately intimidated by his presence, especially when the latter used his sand powers to dehydrate Mr. 3. This, however, did not stop Zala's curiosity; she daringly decided to directly ask Crocodile about his final objective while Mr. 1, Mr. 2, Mr. 4, and Miss Merry Christmas remained visibly put off.

   Mr. 2 Bon Kurei addressed Crocodile as "Zero-chan", even after learning his identity. At first, Bon Kurei seemed to be against the idea of working for a pirate but quickly took back any further complaints when Crocodile menacingly asked if he or any of the other Officer Agents had an issue with his identity.

   Though he was formerly a loyal subordinate, Mr. 3's allegiance turned to hate and fear after Crocodile attempted to murder him. Ever since, the mere sight of Crocodile has filled Mr. 3 with terror.[57]

   The Cross Guild is Crocodile's second known attempt at establishing a bounty hunting organization, using Buggy's Delivery existing infrastructure to run his new operations. Alongside Dracule Mihawk, he is one of the organization's true leaders, using Buggy as a figurehead to attract all unwanted attention away from themselves. Both men are widely respected by Buggy's subordinates due to their impressive showings at Karai Bari Island, where they sank the entire Marine fleet that was sent after Buggy.

   Dracule Mihawk Crocodile and Mihawk briefly clashed during the Summit War of Marineford, after the swordsman struck down Daz Bones for protecting Monkey D. Luffy on Crocodile's orders. Despite this brief confrontation, Crocodile respects Mihawk enough to propose joining forces with him after the dissolution of the Seven Warlords of the Sea two years later. Crocodile noted that, in spite of their differences, both ex-Warlords had the common thread of being overall distrustful of others. Mihawk himself was apparently convinced and accepted his invitation to establish the Cross Guild, showing he did not object to becoming Crocodile's business partner despite said trust issues. He also agreed with Mihawk's suggestion of using Buggy as a figurehead to stave off any excessive attentions.

   Buggy Crocodile has no respect whatsoever for Buggy, who he always considers to be weak, pathetic and worthless. Despite joining forces with him and learning about the clown's connection to the Roger Pirates during their escape from Impel Down, at no point did Crocodile's very low opinion on Buggy ever change. Meanwhile, Buggy very much fears Crocodile, to the point of thinking that getting on the bad side of his fellow ex-companion from the Impel Down Prison Escape Team was worse than dealing with the Marines themselves.

   Still, Crocodile was "kind" enough to loan an unspecified amount of money for Buggy to establish his own mercenary business following the latter's acceptance into the Seven Warlords. With the dissolution of the Warlord system, however, Crocodile returned to Buggy in order to call up the debt the clown pirate owed him. When Buggy confessed that he did not have the money to pay him back, Crocodile considered selling him into slavery, again underscoring how little Crocodile thought of Buggy's life and reputation.

   When Buggy accidentally usurped the role of president of the Cross Guild due to his overzealous followers, Crocodile felt nothing short of anger and embarrassment, joining Mihawk in brutalizing Buggy and even forcing the Cross Guild's leaflet down the clown's throat at one point, all while their "superior" begged for mercy. However, he eventually agreed with Mihawk to allow Buggy to live and remain in his post as "president" of the company, out of convenience to allow himself to run things from the shadows to get rid of any unwanted attentions. This, however, would end up backfiring somewhat, as Buggy's impulsiveness ended up causing the Cross Guild to enter the fight for the One Piece, much to Crocodile's displeasure.

   Advertisement Straw Hat Pirates Crocodile was a major enemy of the Straw Hats, and his defeat at their hands is considered one of their greatest achievements. Starting from Whisky Peak, Luffy and his crew were targeted by Crocodile and his organization, Baroque Works. When the Straw Hats finally reached Arabasta, the crew struggled but succeeded in foiling Crocodile's scheme, all for the sake of their friend, Princess Vivi. Crocodile did not really see Chopper as a threat like the rest of the Straw Hats and mistook him for nothing more than the crew's pet.[58]

   After seeing Crocodile and his Operation Utopia plan to destroy Vivi's kingdom, Luffy grew furious at the Warlord, swearing to defeat him. However, Crocodile viewed Luffy as just another rookie who knew nothing of the world and constantly belittled him. During their third fight, Crocodile stated that once Luffy learned what the seas were truly like, he would forsake his dream. That said, this proved to be Crocodile's downfall, as Luffy would eventually find ways to bypass his supposedly invincible Logia powers and beat him for good.

   After coming across Crocodile in Level 6 of Impel Down, Emporio Ivankov persuaded Luffy to free him, which he did reluctantly as he had not forgotten the suffering the Warlord brought to Vivi. Even though he suffered defeat at Luffy's hands, he did not seem to hold a grudge, and was even willing to offer him assistance in breaking out of Impel Down. Crocodile aligned himself with Luffy during the Summit War of Marineford, he ended up saving Luffy's brother, Ace, once, and protected Luffy himself several times, even after he had prevented him from killing Whitebeard which went against their original agreement, claiming that he only did it because he did not want the Marines to have their way, but obviously because Crocodile harbored respect for Luffy.[33] He stopped Mihawk from killing Luffy and confronted the Warlord so Luffy could go on to save Ace. He also helped Jinbe and Luffy escape from Akainu to prevent the then-admiral from killing them.[35]

   Two years later, Crocodile now seems to show interest in reading about Luffy's exploits in the New World, like his alliance with Trafalgar D. Water Law to take on Doflamingo, as well as his invasion of Totto Land, Big Mom's territory.[59] Unlike Buggy, Crocodile recognized Luffy's status as one of the Four Emperors to be generally well earned for defeating Kaidou, and he does not seem to have any interest in fighting Luffy to claim his head, nor does he hold a grudge against him for stopping Operation Utopia.

   Advertisement Nico Robin Crocodile turns his back on Robin. Crocodile turns his back on Robin.

   Crocodile and Nico Robin worked together for several years in order to further their own goals, becoming the leaders of Baroque Works, but their relationship never had more than a semblance of mutual trust. Although he sheltered her from authorities in exchange for her services, he never once showed compassion to her, nor did she show loyalty to him; she was just expected to follow orders. He held no pity for her when she failed to deliver Pluton's location, and did not think twice about striking her, and she thought nothing of betraying his trust in her, although he did admit that she had been a beneficial partner to him.[53]

   Jinbe Among his former colleagues, Crocodile seemed to have an especially negative past relationship with Jinbe, who was notably furious to know Crocodile was in a cell near his at Impel Down.[23] Upon their release, Jinbe told Crocodile to leave Whitebeard alone. However, Crocodile's only response was asking him if he wanted to fight.[60] Despite their conflict, in the late stages of the Summit War of Marineford, Crocodile helped Jinbe and Luffy escape from Akainu.[35]

   Enemies Arabasta Kingdom In Arabasta, the Warlord Crocodile was seen as a hero because he was always defeating pirates who attacked the island. Without knowing that his true intention was conquest, the citizens admired him and even the king acknowledged his good deeds. In truth, Crocodile was purposefully destabilizing the country with ravaging sandstorms and an artificial drought generated through the use of Dance Powder, leading to misery and rebellion among citizens. The first Arabastan to discover his evil plan was Nefertari Vivi.

   Crocodile's cruelty toward Arabasta was laid bare after he was defeated by Luffy. Soon after his downfall, Vivi revealed the truth to the astonished crowd. In turn, his actions as a Warlord set the events that led to the system's dissolution in the following Levely.

   Nefertari Vivi Vivi attacks Crocodile. Vivi attacks Crocodile.

   Crocodile was on especially bad terms with Vivi, to which he personally mocked her privileged disposition.

   After learning of the crimes that he was committing at her country's expense, she repeatedly expressed her desire to kill him, and did not hesitate to attempt to deal a lethal blow to him.

   Advertisement Nefertari Cobra Cobra was first seen expressing his gratitude toward Crocodile for defeating some pirates that tried to raid Nanohana, not knowing of Crocodile's true nature. Soon afterwards, he learned the truth about the rebellion from Vivi's letter (delivered by Karoo). Crocodile had Cobra brought to him and demanded to know the location of Pluton, later forcing the king to lead Miss All Sunday to the Arabasta Poneglyph in order to gather information about Pluton. Cobra was willing to face death if it meant he could keep Crocodile from seizing the throne.

   When Luffy arrived and fought against Crocodile one last time, Cobra witnessed the battle and was amazed by Luffy's finishing attack that punched Crocodile through bedrock.

   Chaka Chaka and Crocodile first fought when the latter appeared at the royal castle. Chaka was so angered by Crocodile's dismissal of the Kicking Claw Force that he attacked the man in a fit of rage. His reasons were also backed by his desire to protect Vivi and Koza and to buy them enough time to put an end to the battle. Despite his best efforts, Chaka was easily defeated.[61]

   Toto Crocodile knew about Toto, the sole inhabitant of Yuba at the time. Like the rest of Arabasta's citizens, Crocodile thought of him as an idiot and found his endless, futile attempts to dig out water laughable. He was also revealed to have been behind the sandstorms that were drying up Yuba, as part of his plan to sabotage Arabasta's towns.[62]

   While Toto was unaware of Crocodile's involvement in Yuba's ruin, he braved all the sandstorms the Warlord summoned to ravage his town, declaring that Yuba would not fall to mere sand.[63]

   Edward Newgate As the person responsible for Crocodile suffering a humiliating defeat during his early days at the New World, he held a grudge against Whitebeard ever since. At Impel Down, he expressed a desire of revenge and to kill Whitebeard himself, which led to him forming an alliance with Luffy to escape.[23] As soon as he got to Marineford, Crocodile made an attempt on Whitebeard's life, only to be stopped by Luffy.

   Despite his animosity, Crocodile had developed a form of respect for the old pirate for his strength. When Squard stabbed Whitebeard, Crocodile became disgusted by how weak his former adversary had become.[45] Upon the Emperor's death, he remarked that his wounds were now fully healed as he was ready to take on the New World once more. Crocodile is considered an enemy of the Marines and the World Government after his plot threatened to upset the balance between the Three Great Powers. Crocodile abused his Warlord privileges to build himself a large and powerful covert organization.[4] His actions in Arabasta left the World Government with no choice but to revoke his status as a Warlord of the Sea, although they had not even realized there was a problem until after Luffy dealt with him. The World Government raised Luffy's bounty as a direct result of Crocodile's defeat.[65][66]

   Crocodile joins forces with the Whitebeard Pirates against the Marines. Crocodile joins forces with the Whitebeard Pirates against the Marines.

   During the War of Marineford, Sengoku thought that he could use Crocodile's hatred of Whitebeard to his advantage. Though Crocodile did want to take Whitebeard's head, he also wanted to keep the Marines from having their way, which was shown when he saved Ace from the first execution attempt. Sengoku was shocked and aggravated by this turn of events.[48] Even though Crocodile had been robbed of his revenge against Whitebeard, he continued to consider the Marines his enemy, and ultimately saved Luffy and Jinbe from Admiral Akainu.[35]

   After two years, Crocodile destroyed Vice-Admiral Stainless' fleet who were attempting to capture Buggy. Crocodile created Cross Guild to issue the bounties on the Marines, weakening the World Government's military power.

   Smoker Crocodile imprisoned Smoker along with the Straw Hat Pirates in a Seastone Cage at Rain Dinners. Crocodile was aware of Smoker's reputation as a loose cannon and planned to eliminate him alongside the Straw Hats, covering up the death of both the Marine captain and the pirate crew as the result of a battle between them.[67]

   Because he already hated the Seven Warlords of the Sea to begin with (since he viewed them as nothing more than pirates), Smoker already suspected something wrong was happening at Arabasta, solely because of Crocodile's presence, which led him to investigate things further at Rainbase.[68] During the Summit War of Marineford, Smoker was very surprised to see Luffy cooperating with Crocodile.[69] Two years later, Smoker told Fujitora about his experience with Crocodile during the Arabasta Arc, which influenced certain decisions from the Marine admiral during the Dressrosa and Levely arcs.

   Advertisement Tashigi Crocodile briefly met Tashigi on his way to the Tomb of the Kings, after having defeated Luffy for the second time. Crocodile mocked the Marine woman, insulting her superior, Smoker, for not being around, and telling Tashigi that she was too weak to enforce justice.[70]

   Tashigi felt powerless due to Crocodile's words, which led her to cooperate with Monkey D. Luffy by telling him Crocodile's whereabouts instead of going after him herself.[71] After Crocodile's defeat, Tashigi was responsible for revoking Crocodile's Warlord status as well as his arrest.[4]

   Others Emporio Ivankov Ivankov and Crocodile knew each other at some point while the latter was still a rookie. At that time, Ivankov found out a precious weakness of Crocodile's, which he later used as blackmail to ensure that the known villain would not betray the escape party.[60]

   Donquixote Doflamingo Crocodile clashing with Doflamingo. Crocodile clashing with Doflamingo.

   When they met during the Summit War of Marineford, Crocodile threatened to kill Doflamingo for intruding in his business and mocking him, but Doflamingo suggested they form a partnership.[72] In response, he laughed at the offer and attacked both Jozu and Doflamingo.[32] After Crocodile rescued Ace from the first execution attempt, Doflamingo suddenly cut off Crocodile's head, saying that he would be jealous if Crocodile allied with Whitebeard after refusing his own alliance proposal. Crocodile said that he was not allied with anyone, after which the two were seen clashing.[48] Doflamingo seems to have a certain level of respect for Crocodile, or at least, recognizes his strength, since he didn't believe the story of Crocodile being defeated by a Marine captain when he heard about the events in Alabasta, quickly realizing it was a lie by the World Government to cover up the truth.

   Abilities and Powers As a former Warlord of the Sea, Crocodile is powerful enough to be recognized by the World Government. He was the Warlord with the second lowest bounty at the time Beli81,000,000,[7] with Hancock having the lowest, although he held the title for so long that such a low bounty would now be outdated. Currently, he now has the fifth highest after the former Warlords, Blackbeard, Mihawk, Buggy, and Law, with a bounty of Beli1,965,000,000. Indeed, when Crocodile was stripped of his Warlord status and transferred to Impel Down, he was placed in Level 6, where the world's absolute worst criminals are kept.[15]

   He defeated Luffy no less than twice before his eventual defeat. In fact, if not for his good luck and the help he received from several people, Luffy would have been killed in all three battles: he was impaled (and then rescued by Nico Robin),[36] dehydrated (and then revived by his own Water Water Pistol),[37] and poisoned (and then received the antidote from Robin).[73] Moreover, if Luffy's blood had not served as a way to nullify Crocodile's Logia-Type defense, and if Robin had not supplied Luffy with the antidote to his hook's poison, the third battle would have effectively favored Crocodile as well.

   Later on, during the Summit War of Marineford, Crocodile was uninjured after confronting fellow Warlords Donquixote Doflamingo[48] and Dracule Mihawk[33] in quick succession, despite the fact that both opponents possess and have complete mastery of their Haki. Against the latter, he did not seem to be concerned at all about facing the strongest swordsman in the world, even going so far as to threaten him. Crocodile was even able to battle Admiral Akainu and survive completely unharmed afterward.[35]

   After time-skip, Crocodile became more powerful than before. He easily defeated Vice Admiral Stainless and his fleet. His bounty of Beli1,965,000,000 has made him an extremely dangerous threat to the World Government's operations. This is furthered by the fact that he and Mihawk merely becoming "subordinates" to Buggy was enough to get him named as one of the Four Emperors by the World Government.[19]

   Crocodile is extremely intelligent and cunning. He was able to lead Baroque Works for years while keeping the World Government completely in the dark about what he was doing and making himself out to be a hero in the eyes of the people. He is also skilled at crafting near-flawless plans and noticing things that most other people would not. His intelligence and leadership are acknowledged by the Marines and recognized as two of his most dangerous traits, alongside his Logia abilities. He is known to deduce a correct conclusion based on very little information; for example, after seeing the white wrappings on the Straw Hats' arms, he almost instantly figured out that it was a safeguard against Mr. 2's infiltration.

   The entire Arabasta Saga is a testament to Crocodile's strategy and manipulative skills. Crocodile created Baroque Works and successfully managed all of its operations over a period of years through his faceless alias Mr. 0, with none of his subordinates short of Nico Robin knowing his true identity.[49][50] He devised a complex, long-running scheme to conquer the Arabasta Kingdom: initially, he sabotaged King Nefertari Cobra's reputation by secretly importing rain-producing dust into the kingdom during a period of major regional drought (which he had caused via rain-producing ships such as the Full), then having it "accidentally" discovered on route, inciting the creation of a rebel army and thereby the threat of a civil war. At the same time, he strove to attain personal respect and public prestige among the citizens of Arabasta as their "savior", by brutally dispatching any would-be invaders or pirates.[74] An expert liar and manipulator, he was able to trick Vivi in wasting time looking for a key that was fake all along and managed to make Luffy drop his guard by targeting Yuba with a sandstorm, after learning of Luffy's friendship with Toto. During the events of Operation Utopia, Crocodile demonstrated great foresight in his attempt to blow up Alubarna, having installed a backup mechanism to fire a bomb on the capital in case the main method failed and placing two of his agents to protect it in the possibility it was found.

   His skills not only apply to his own organization but to others as well: he was responsible for fellow Warlord Buggy gaining the capital and resources needed to establish his own successful underworld organization, Buggy's Delivery. Later, with the help and influence of fellow Warlord Dracule Mihawk, and with Buggy offering to pay off his debt by offering up his organization, it was re-integrated into a much larger, more powerful, more dangerous Emperor-led syndicate, capable of issuing bounties on Marines, Cross Guild. In addition to that, Crocodile operates said organization alongside co-founder Mihawk, with Buggy, who was mistakenly given credit for Cross Guild's creation and made an Emperor as a result, now acting as the guild's figurehead, allowing the two to operate as they please, with Buggy as their scapegoat.

   In addition, aside from being heavily experienced thanks to his many years as a pirate, he seems to have a better understanding of Devil Fruits than most people, as evidenced by his mastery of his Logia-type powers. He also revealed that the Jailer Beasts were actually "Awakened" Zoan fruit users at a time when no one around him had even realized that they were even Devil Fruit users.[75]

   Advertisement Physical Abilities In addition to his powers being of the Logia-type, allowing him to turn into sand to avoid injuries, Crocodile has an enormous amount of physical stamina, durability, pain tolerance, resilience and endurance, coupled with remarkable speed and reflexes. He was able to take a heavy flurry of blows from Luffy in his third battle as he countered with his own attacks, and he took a Brilliant Punk from Jozu infused with Armament Haki and was able to get up quickly, showing only superficial injuries.[76] He is also one of the few people known to tolerate getting "baptized" in boiling water in Impel Down without flinching, which is considered an impressive feat.[15] He could effortlessly withstand the extreme temperatures of Levels 3 (where the heat is sufficient to roast a bird alive), 4 (which is several times hotter than Level 3) and 5 (a room operating at sub-zero temperatures) of Impel Down.

   Crocodile also possesses great physical strength, first demonstrated when he carried off the dead bodies of an entire pirate crew (namely Puppu's) after dehydrating them with his Devil Fruit powers.[77] He was able to block a Doflamingo kick, without too many complications (his shock created a wave strong enough to push away the nearby marines). He even managed to intercept and parry Mihawk's two-handed slash with just his hook[33]

   Devil Fruit Further information: Suna Suna no Mi The Suna Suna no Mi in use. The Suna Suna no Mi in use.

   Crocodile ate the Suna Suna no Mi, a Logia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to create, control, and transform his body into sand. This ability allows him to easily reform his body after most attacks.[78]

   While in a desert/sandy area, his powers make him nearly invincible. Crocodile has the ability to create huge sandstorms, make multiple bladed weapons out of sand, and create quicksand (given the presence of a nearby underground waterway). He can also create powerful sandstorms that grow in power until even Crocodile himself cannot stop them.

   He can absorb all the moisture out of any object, living or non-living, by touching it with his right hand. This ability allows him to utterly destroy his surroundings, killing and mummifying any biological substances via dehydration. This application does not work on metallic substances, though.[79] However, if moisture comes into contact with his body, it immediately reverts to solid form and cannot transform.

   Advertisement Haki Main article: Haki Crocodile possesses the ability to use Armament and Observation Haki.[80]

   Weapons Hook In addition to being one of the few characters shown to have some degree of mastery over their Devil Fruit, Crocodile is also formidable in hand-to-hand combat using a hook.[81] He fought using only his hook for most of his third match with Luffy, only resorting to his Devil Fruit powers when he finally accepted that things weren't going in his favor.[82] His hook is made mostly out of an extremely tough and resilient gold alloy, which makes it resistant to corrosion. Its durability was shown to be especially impressive when it took no visible damage from Mihawk's Yoru as Crocodile defended Luffy from an attack.[33]

   The gold part of the hook is hollow and can be removed to expose a poisonous hook hidden inside. This porous secondary hook releases a powerful scorpion venom, which is strong enough to melt through rock and kill anyone with the effect of a single slash.[83]

   In the unlikely event that the hook becomes damaged, there is a knife hidden underneath that can be ejected and used in its place.[84] In a pinch, the very wide base of the hook can also serve as an improvised mace-like weapon, as shown when Crocodile used its blunt force to smash Luffy into a wall.[85]

   During his incarceration in both a regular prison[86] and Impel Down, Crocodile was permitted to keep his formidable hook.[23] Timer Bomb For the pinnacle of Operation Utopia, Crocodile prepared a specialized bomb. It was designed to detonate across a maximum radius of five kilometers, large enough to completely obliterate the capital city of Alubarna. It was prepared about 30 minutes prior to the intended firing time, at which point it would be released from a bulky cannon,[87] but in case that method backfired, Crocodile had a special timer installed onto the bomb itself. The timer was set for less than a minute after the planned time.[88]

   Dracule "Hawk Eyes" Mihawk[15] is a world-famous pirate currently recognized as the strongest swordsman in the world.[8]

   Known as the "Marine Hunter" in his early career,[9] Mihawk stood as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea (the first to be revealed and formally introduced)[3] until the group's dissolution,[4] and was for a time the sole human resident of Kuraigana Island.[5] Since then, he has become a founding executive of the Cross Guild, alongside fellow ex-Warlord Crocodile.[2][16]

   Mihawk once led a renowned rivalry with Shanks, currently one of the Four Emperors. In turn, he is viewed as the ultimate opponent by Roronoa Zoro, who pursues his own dream of becoming the world's strongest swordsman. Though Mihawk easily won their first encounter, he grew to respect Zoro, and agreed to mentor him in further swordsmanship during the timeskip.[17][18] Like the other ex-Warlords, Mihawk has been cloned by Dr. Vegapunk to create one of the Seraphim, S-Hawk, as part of a project to replace the Warlord system.[19]

   Due to his actions and role, Mihawk can be considered a supporting antagonist in the Baratie Arc and one of the major antagonists in the Marineford Arc, where he took part in the Summit War of Marineford on the side of the Marines, along with most of the other Warlords of the Sea.[20]Appearance Mihawk is a tall, lean, and muscular man with a fair complexion and short-cropped, jet-black hair that is slicked back, as well as a short beard, mustache, and sideburns that point upwards in a "V" shape. His nickname comes from his strangely colored eyes: red in the manga and yellow in the anime, which resemble a hawk's eyes due to the concentric ring present around each pupil.

   Mihawk wears black-and-red, ornate clothing with a golden (white in the manga) crucifix pendant that hides a little dagger, which gives him the appearance of a Spanish swordsman. His attire consists of a wide-brimmed black hat decorated with a large plume and a long, open black coat with a red velvet inside with no shirt underneath, with red, flower-patterned sleeves and collar. He wears white (light purple in the anime) pants held up by a decorated belt and tucked inside overly large boots in comparison to his leg size.[8][21]

   Mihawk wears a kogatana around his neck, appearing as a golden cross-shaped necklace, which is a dagger that looks identical to its larger counterpart, Yoru, and carries his sword, Yoru, on his back when he is not using it.[8][21]

   At his home in Kuraigana Island's castle, Mihawk sports different pants and an open white shirt with a ruffled neck. When he met up with Zoro outside, he had a plain dark cloak draped over his shoulders.

   After the timeskip, Mihawk shows some more wrinkles near the eyes.[22] While reading about the Straw Hats' actions on Dressrosa and resulting new bounties, he was seen in his casual outfit along with a dark scarf draped over his shoulders and a wide-brimmed straw hat.[23] After the abolishment of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Mihawk wore a black jacket with a golden flower pattern (replacing his signature red one).

   Twenty-four years ago, during Gol D. Roger's execution, Mihawk did not have his beard, nor did he wear his hat, and his hair was scruffier and shorter. He already had his crucifix pendant and sported what looked like a flower-patterned jacket.

   In SBS Volume 63, Oda drew the Seven Warlords as children. Mihawk is shown with many scratches and bruises from training. He used a bokken as his weapon. He dressed in a dark-colored open jacket, short pants, shoes, and a light-colored belt.[24]

   Advertisement Stoic, serious, and solitary, Mihawk is as deadly and fearsome as the blade on his back. Rare to display any emotion other than his grim and dead-eyed stare, Mihawk has only been seen laughing twice so far in the whole series. He rarely smiles or shows evident surprise, taking most developments in stride, and seems allergic to showing emotion on the battlefield, even when something unexpected happens. That said, he is not someone particularly ambitious or cruel, despite his infamous reputation and skill, with his only goal in life to find someone worthy of being equaled or outmatched with a blade. Otherwise, Mihawk prefers living in peace and quiet.

   A lone wolf by nature, it is implied that Mihawk has trouble trusting others, something Crocodile has pointed out as a common trait between them both. Still, he appears to be fine with making company with people, such as Shanks and Perona, even if he can come off as cold, annoyed, and dismissive of them at times, indicating he prefers solitude to companionship. It is surprising to see him exhibit a sense of hospitality and grace to others given his gruff and serious demeanor, having (somewhat) tolerated Perona and Zoro's presence upon his return to Kuraigana Island right after the Summit War, going as far as relaying to Zoro the events that occurred concerning his captain, Luffy. In addition, he offered a boat to help the Straw Hat swordsman leave the island. He also told Perona to be safe when she decided to leave the castle to find her captain, Gecko Moria.[25] It is later shown that he personally let her go out of concern for her well-being due to him anticipating the Seven Warlords system being abolished so she would not be in harm's way.

   Mihawk is selective and whimsical when it comes to fulfilling his duties as a Warlord of the Sea, as evidenced by his history of poor attendance at summons,[26] as well as his decision to hunt and harass some pirates over others. Zeff speculated that the reason Mihawk attacked Don Krieg and his men might have simply been because they disturbed his nap.[27] Mihawk admitted that the only reason he followed them all the way back to the East Blue from the Grand Line was to kill time.[8] Overall, Mihawk had no real interest in being a Warlord besides just being left alone by the World Government and was annoyed and exhausted by the Marines' repeated attempts to arrest him after the Warlord system was abolished.

   In battle, Mihawk is dismissive of opponents that he can tell are inferior to him and will even handicap himself in order to give them a "fighting chance" as a form of mockery, depending on the opponent. He is unafraid to reference his title of "Strongest Swordsman in the World" in relation to himself, indicating a high level of confidence in his own abilities. He takes pride in his swordsmanship, believing that a nick on his sword is a blemish to his pride.[28] Though he is confident in his strength, Mihawk remains grounded. While he has become jaded and bored regarding the skills and challenges of other swordsmen due to facing weaker opponents beyond count, his eye for talent and capability remains as sharp as his "Hawk-Eyes" name. Strangely, he has a desire to see Zoro surpass him after having witnessed Zoro's incredible will and determination after their battle, causing him to show a rare smirk in admiration.[29] Mihawk similarly values honor and respect for the swordsman's code, reluctantly permitting Roronoa Zoro the luxury of training at his hand for his dedication and selflessness.

   Mihawk shows curiosity for the people he acknowledges as strong and then decides to fight. He attempted to strike Whitebeard just to see what the power distance between himself and Whitebeard was.[30] He also attacked Luffy just to see if fate was on his side or not, recognizing that the boy had done miraculous feats by that point.[31] As a result, Mihawk is very analytical about others' abilities and can recognize strengths that others may not, such as when he understood that Luffy's natural charisma and quick amassing of comrades is his most dangerous attribute.[32]

   Despite having grown bored with being challenged by inferior foes, Mihawk showed excitement at being chased as a pirate once more due to the dissolution of the Seven Warlords system.[4] However, he eventually became annoyed by the Marines' attacks, causing Mihawk to relocate and become Crocodile's business partner. Currently, Mihawk has an interest in strengthening the Cross Guild, although he still prefers to stay in the shadows, being willing to have Buggy as a figurehead in order to divert all unwanted attention away from himself. Still, Mihawk has little patience with Buggy's antics along with his crew's misguided admiration for the clown and will readily punish and threaten Buggy if he feels humiliated.

   Mihawk has an interest in agriculture, having started farming and tilling the war-torn land of Kuraigana Island, influencing even the Humandrills, who were normally fearful of Mihawk, to join him.[23]

   Like many other characters, he has a unique laugh, unusually bearing two: "Wahhahhahha/Kukukuku". The only other character to have this trait is Garp.

   Advertisement Relationships Friends Although he spends most of his time alone, Mihawk appears to build a level of respect for those he finds interesting enough to battle with and those who survive. Such an example is when Zoro challenged him to fight at Baratie, and even though he lost, Mihawk was impressed enough to spare him and declare his respect (although indirectly). Despite that, however, he does not seem to have anyone whom he is particularly fond of.

   Shanks Mihawk visits Shanks on one of his base islands. Mihawk visits Shanks on one of his base islands.

   In the past, Mihawk was a rival to one of the most powerful pirates in the world, Shanks. However, Mihawk lost interest in him after Shanks lost his left arm, as it went against his code as a swordsman. He retains a neutral, though somewhat friendly, relationship with Shanks and is able to track him down if the need arises. He and Shanks do manage to get along, regardless of the fact that the two are opposites in personalities; Mihawk is serious and taciturn and prefers peace and quiet, while Shanks is cheerful and fun and loves loud parties. Shanks was also able to get Mihawk to join in when he threw a party to celebrate Luffy's upcoming pirate status, even when moments beforehand Mihawk had scorned how laid-back Shanks was.[33]

   Mihawk even mused out an apology to Shanks during the battle at Marineford, where he declared that he would not be holding anything back against Luffy right before going after him.[31] When Shanks showed up during the Whitebeard War, Mihawk left the battle, stating that battling Shanks was beyond the scope of the World Government's agreement.[34]

   Two years later, Mihawk expressed that he does not want to fight Shanks along with the other Emperors, on the orders of Buggy.

   Perona Perona stayed on Kuraigana Island with Mihawk and Zoro during the latter's two-year-long training. After accompanying Zoro to the Sabaody Archipelago and going back to Thriller Bark to pick up Kumashi's body, she went back to Kuraigana and is now living with Mihawk, suggesting a good status between them.[23] When she learned of her old master's survival, she was upset that Mihawk did not tell her while he paid her no mind and only told her to be safe as she tearfully thanked him for letting her stay with him.[35] It also appears Mihawk was aware of the impending dissolution of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and had Perona leave for her own safety.

   Advertisement Humandrills Mihawk has a neutral relationship with the Humandrills who are native to Kuraigana Island. Despite their violent nature from the influence of the brutal war that occurred in Kuraigana Island, Mihawk was powerful enough to intimidate them to the point they would avoid him when possible. After Mihawk started farming, the Humandrills became easily influenced and started helping Mihawk in agriculture.

   Cross Guild Alongside Crocodile, Mihawk founded the bounty hunting organization Cross Guild, using Buggy as a figurehead to attract all unwanted attention away from themselves. Both men are widely respected by Buggy's subordinates due to their impressive showings at Karai Bari Island, where they sank the entire Marine fleet that was sent after Buggy.

   Crocodile Mihawk and Crocodile briefly clashed during the Summit War of Marineford, after the swordsman struck down Daz Bones for protecting Luffy on Crocodile's orders. Despite this brief confrontation, Crocodile respects Mihawk enough to propose joining forces with him after the dissolution of the Seven Warlords of the Sea two years later. Crocodile noted that, in spite of their differences, they both had the common thread of being overall distrustful of others. Mihawk himself was apparently convinced and accepted his invitation to establish the Cross Guild, showing he did not object to becoming Crocodile's business partner despite said trust issues. Crocodile also agreed to Mihawk's suggestions that they can always dispose of Buggy at any time if he became a hassle.

   Buggy Like with Crocodile, Mihawk and Buggy briefly clashed during the Summit War of Marineford. While flying around, Buggy was pulled down by Luffy to intercept Mihawk's sword strikes with his body. Buggy got angry at Mihawk for slicing him up and threw a Muggy Ball at him, only for Mihawk to deflect it back at Buggy and cause it to detonate on him.[36]

   Much like Crocodile, Mihawk has no respect whatsoever for Buggy, considering him pathetic, weak, and cowardly. He even threatened Buggy with death when he accidentally usurped the role of president of Cross Guild due to his overzealous followers, all while his "superior" begged for mercy. However, Mihawk and Crocodile eventually decided to allow Buggy to live and remain as the figurehead of the company, out of convenience to divert unwanted attention from themselves and run things from the shadows since Mihawk only wants to have a peaceful life when holding no interest to become an Emperor, though they agreed that if Buggy became a hassle, they could always dispose of him at any time. Despite letting him live just to benefit him and Crocodile, Mihawk and Crocodile still brutalized Buggy out of their disgust for the new ship's tasteless design as well as Mihawk calling Buggy a "cockroach" for believing his and Crocodile's plans are wrong. Like Crocodile, Mihawk finds Buggy to be very delusional and lowly for thinking that he and Crocodile would take him to the top and go pick fights with Shanks, Blackbeard and Luffy, as Mihawk has no interest in engaging in battles with any of them for the One Piece treasure.

   Advertisement Enemies Mihawk seems to have made lots of enemies in the past. Especially most of the swordsmen of the world want to have a chance to challenge him, like the 5th division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Flower Sword Vista, who was thrilled to see Mihawk in the battle. He challenged him to battle with pleasure. Also, two okamas from Impel Down attacked him saying that they dueled him in the past. However, Mihawk replied that he doesn’t remember the name of every insect that he crushes. Vista expressed a desire to fight Mihawk and was happy that he got to cross blades with him, calling him the strongest swordsman in the world. In return, Mihawk showed him respect by being aware of his reputation.

   Roronoa Zoro “ My name is Dracule Mihawk!! It's too soon for you to die. Discover yourself. See the world!! And grow strong, Zoro! However long it may take... I shall await you at the top. Strive with your whole heart and mind to best this blade, fierce one!!! Strive to surpass me, Roronoa Zoro!!! ” — Mihawk's challenge to Zoro[29]

   Having lost one rival in Shanks, he now shares a rivalry with Zoro and is prepared to wait as long as it takes for Zoro to become strong enough to beat him.[29] To this end, Mihawk watches Zoro's progression and is delighted when Zoro gains his first bounty.[37] After the war at Marineford, Zoro bowed before Mihawk, requesting training from the Warlord. Mihawk initially dismissed this request as Zoro reacting to an inability to defeat the Humandrills and escape the island. He chided Zoro and expressed regret for "overestimating" the swordsman. When Zoro explained that he had defeated the Humandrills and required training from Mihawk to defeat him, an overly-amused Mihawk silently commented that Zoro must have found something more valuable than his ambition in order to make the request and seemed rather proud of Zoro in the wake of this development. He agreed to the request and ordered Perona to patch up Zoro so that the training can begin. Mihawk was a strict teacher when he was Zoro's swordmaster during the two-year timeskip. When teaching Zoro how to use Haki, he forbade Zoro from drinking alcohol until he fully mastered infusing his swords with Armament Haki.

   When hearing about Cross Guild, Zoro tells Luffy that Mihawk is not the type of person who would work for Buggy.

   Monkey D. Luffy “ It's not some sort of special power, but he has the ability to make allies of everyone he meets. And that is the most fearsome ability on the high seas... ” — Mihawk, commenting on Luffy's dangerous ability[32]

   Mihawk sees and recognizes Luffy's potential. During the battle at Marineford, he expresses to himself that Luffy has the most dangerous ability on the seas, which is turning anyone around him into his allies, including former enemies.[32] He was one of the few people not to be surprised that Luffy is the son of the world's most dangerous criminal[38] and even challenges Luffy to a duel.[31] Even though he easily gains the upper hand, he compliments on how Luffy is clear headed in battle and not as reckless as he thought. The two continued their fight until Luffy escapes after having been saved by the Whitebeard Pirates Fifth Division Commander, Vista. However, Mihawk seems amused when he hears about his progress throughout the series and acknowledges him as a true warrior rather than a foolish boy. He even accepted Zoro's request for training when he surmised that he wanted to become stronger for Luffy's sake.

   Unlike Buggy, Mihawk recognizes Luffy's status as one of the Four Emperors to be generally well earned after defeating Kaidou. But he has no interest to pick a fight with Luffy.

   Advertisement Krieg Pirates Mihawk confronted by Krieg. Mihawk confronted by Krieg.

   Mihawk also made an enemy of Don Krieg, destroying Krieg's entire fleet when he attempted to conquer the Grand Line. Mihawk, for his part, did not even consider Krieg a threat. Upon sighting Mihawk, Krieg's anger led him to attack Mihawk, despite having witnessed Zoro's defeat and his own ship having been sliced apart. Mihawk did not even bother to retaliate, instead merely slashing Krieg's ship again and departing during the distraction.

   World Government As a Warlord of the Sea, Mihawk was ostensibly an ally of the World Government. However, he has never expressed interest in their goals, and was noted by Sengoku to almost never answer any summons to Mary Geoise. Nevertheless, the Marines display a strong amount of respect and fear towards him, most likely due to his notorious past as a dangerous pirate who gained widespread infamy for slaying multiple formidable marines. Despite Mihawk's antipathy towards the Marines and the World Government, he also answered the call of the Marines to arrive for the upcoming war at Marineford. The only occasion that Mihawk is shown to be obedient to the World Government is when he went to Marineford to fight against Whitebeard (although he left when Shanks arrived stating that he only agreed to battle Whitebeard's forces).[34]

   After the Warlords system was abolished, Mihawk was reverted to an enemy of the World Government, and the Marines wasted no time trying to arrest him. Mihawk was eager to fight against them and easily defeated the Marines' fleet. However, he became annoyed by the nuisance of their persistence, so he relocated himself and accepted Crocodile's offer to join Cross Guild, which began posting bounties for Marines in order to undermine the World Government's power.

   Abilities and Powers As the “Strongest Swordsman in the World” in both name and reality,[1][12] Mihawk is one of the strongest pirates in the world. Even before the Great Age of Pirates, he gained fame by defeating stronger and stronger foes until he had no worthy challengers left, and now he reigns at the top as the strongest swordsman in the world.[12]

   Due to his strength in swordsmanship, Mihawk was a rival to Shanks, a future Emperor and great swordsman in his own right. They competed fiercely in legendary duels on a daily basis until Shanks lost his left arm to the Lord of the Coast.[33][39] His immense skill in battle allowed him to easily destroy Don Krieg's entire fleet of 50 ships and 5,000 men by himself, with only the main ship surviving because a bad storm pushed them away. This monstrous display of strength caused Don Krieg to assume that Mihawk had Devil Fruit powers.

   Additionally, he easily defeated Roronoa Zoro two years prior, using only his cross-shaped knife that he wears as a pendant around his neck. In fact, Mihawk was more than capable of easily killing Zoro just using his knife, and the only reason he did not was because he recognized his strength and determination. During the Summit War of Marineford, he did not receive as much as a scratch, despite having fought against Vista[32] and Crocodile.[40]

   A true testament to Mihawk's extraordinary strength is that after the Seven Warlords of the Sea were abolished, his bounty was raised to Beli3,590,000,000, one of the highest bounties in the world that even surpasses two of the current Four Emperors: Monkey D. Luffy and Buggy. His fellow ex-warlord Crocodile stated that an organization headed by himself and Mihawk would not go unnoticed by the Marines, which was proven true when Buggy was named one of the Four Emperors solely due to the Marine Headquarters belief that Mihawk and Crocodile work under him, when in reality, they are the founders of the organization.[9]

   Aside from his combat prowess, Mihawk is also an excellent cook, having cooked meals for both himself and Perona for two years. In the anime, he is shown applying his swordsmanship to his cooking, using kitchen knives to cut vegetables with incredible speed and precision.[41]

   Advertisement Physical Abilities Mihawk possesses immense physical strength, which he supplements with his swordsmanship. He was able to stop Zoro, a formidable swordsman with monstrous physical strength, with only a single knife that he held with one hand.

   Mihawk is extremely fast and agile, as shown by his ability to jump and leap enormous heights and distances. He also has extraordinary reflexes, able to counter Luffy's Gear Second enhanced speed with ease.

   Swordsmanship Mihawk cuts through a massive iceberg. Mihawk cuts through a massive iceberg.

   Mihawk is known as the "Strongest Swordsman in the World" because of his unparalleled skill with a sword. His vast mastery in swordsmanship even surpasses the skill level of his former rival Shanks, one of the Four Emperors of the Sea.[42] He was also able to effortlessly defeat Zoro, a swordsman who is renowned all over the East Blue, two years prior with a single knife.

   Mihawk's swordsmanship is extremely versatile; he can create immensely powerful compressed air slashes that are able to destroy gigantic ships[27] and enormous icebergs from great distances[43] by using the "Strong Blade" swordsmanship, and can deflect the course of bullets with masterful and graceful precision[44] using the "Gentle Blade" swordsmanship.[45] He is also able to cut through steel with extreme ease and precision, as demonstrated with the steel-bodied Mr. 1, whom even Zoro struggled to defeat.[40]

   Mihawk is also a talented teacher, as shown by Zoro's significant improvement in training under him for two years, which is more than the dojo had taught him in the many years he had trained there. Zoro himself admitted that even after training with Mihawk, he is still not anywhere near his level of skill as a swordsman, further attesting to Mihawk's combat and fighting prowess.

   Mihawk possesses the ability to use Observation Haki. True to his epithet, "Hawk Eyes", he has extraordinary eyesight, able to easily track Luffy's high-speed Gear 2 movements and strike with extreme precision,[32] which neither Boa Sandersonia nor Boa Marigold could do.

   Advertisement Armament Haki Mihawk possesses the ability to use Armament Haki. He has incredible mastery in this form of Haki by being able to turn his sword, Yoru, into a permanent Black Blade.[46] He also taught Zoro how to use this type of Haki to protect his swords from any damage.[28]

   Weapons Further information: Yoru Mihawk's sword, Yoru. Mihawk's sword, Yoru.

   Mihawk wields one of the 12 Supreme Grade Blades, the "Black Blade" Yoru, as his main weapon. Yoru is a curved, single-edged black blade in the shape of a Latin cross, with a golden crossguard decorated by red cabochons (which are blue and green in the anime) and a hilt wrapped in bandages, with a particularly big cabochon at its extremity. When he accepts challenges for his title, he only draws this blade for those with enough spirit to earn Mihawk's respect or enough power to present a threat; otherwise, his Kogatana is sufficient.

   Mihawk also has a cross-shaped knife that he wears as a pendant around his neck named Kogatana. He is shown using it as a tool to eat with, but combined with his supreme sword skills, it is also a deadly weapon capable of defeating any minor or moderately skilled swordsmen, even Zoro, a swordsman who wielded three blades during their duel. According to Mihawk, it is the smallest blade in his possession.

   History Past Mihawk became famous even before the start of the Great Age of Pirates. While the full details of his rise as a pirate and swordsman are still a mystery, it is known that Mihawk has "experienced great betrayal" and holds a grudge towards the Marines. Due to this grudge, he eventually gained the moniker of "Marine Hunter". This incident also seemingly fed into Mihawk's loneliness and general distrust of people, which remains a core part of him to this day.[47]

   Mihawk at Roger's execution. Mihawk at Roger's execution.

   As time passed, Mihawk challenged increasingly powerful opponents until no one could surpass his swordsmanship, thus earning the title of "World's Strongest Swordsman". 24 years ago, at age nineteen, he attended Gol D. Roger's execution.[48][49] Some time after, he joined the ranks of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.[12]

   For a time, Mihawk maintained a rivalry with Shanks, seeking him out for duels until Shanks lost his arm saving a young boy in the East Blue. Though Mihawk claimed to lose interest after this, they remained familiar, and Mihawk was intrigued by Shanks' stories of the boy in question.

   Some time after Kuraigana Island's Shikkearu Kingdom was destroyed by war, Mihawk chose its central castle as his main residence, his strength easily keeping the savage Humandrills at bay. Some time later, roughly three and a half years in the past, Mihawk had destroyed an unnamed ship and gotten news over the newspaper that a Bartholomew Kuma had been chosen as a new Warlord of the Sea.[50]

   When Don Krieg attempted to conquer the Grand Line, Mihawk met and singlehandedly decimated his entire fleet until interrupted by a sudden storm.[51] As Krieg fled back to the East Blue with only his flagship—barely—intact, Mihawk pursued out of sheer boredom.[27]

Mihawk was impressed by neither Zoro's challenge nor reputation, noting their strengths were obviously mismatched even without crossing blades.[8]

   Agreeing to battle with his Kogatana, Mihawk easily parried all three of Zoro's swords, and with his first counterattack impaled Zoro nearly through the heart. To his surprise, Zoro stood fast, vowing that he would die for his dream before retreat. Seeing such passion, Mihawk acknowledged Zoro's name, and drew Yoru to finish the duel, exchanging a single stroke against Zoro's final, strongest attack. This not only wounded Zoro further, but shattered two of his swords; accepting total defeat, Zoro offered himself to a finishing blow, asserting that wounds on the back were a swordsman's shame. Mihawk granted this with a diagonal slash across the torso, holding back just enough to keep Zoro alive.[52]

   Enlivened by the duel, Mihawk—after dodging an assault from Monkey D. Luffy—openly challenged Zoro to drive on and surpass himself, so he might one day truly become the world's greatest swordsman. As Zoro received the challenge, tearfully vowing to never lose again, Mihawk was further intrigued to learn Luffy dreamed of becoming Pirate King. Bidding the Straw Hats his respect, Mihawk departed, pausing only briefly to turn aside a desperate revenge attack from Krieg.[29]

   After Luffy received his first bounty, Mihawk sought out Shanks on a remote island, greatly startling the lower members of the Red Hair Pirates. Presenting Shanks with the news, Mihawk confirmed that Luffy was indeed the village boy that Shanks had sacrificed his arm for. In turn, Shanks pulled Mihawk into a celebratory drinking party.[33]

   Sky Island Saga Jaya Arc In wake of Crocodile's defeat and arrest, Mihawk—purely out of curiosity about the Straw Hats' involvement—answered a summons to Mary Geoise to discuss replacement Warlord candidates. With the rest of the conference, he witnessed a strange outlaw named Laffitte intruding to nominate his own captain, the soon-to-be-infamous Marshall D. Teach.[53]

   When Aokiji froze the two tsunamis that Whitebeard caused, Mihawk was one of the first Warlords to attack, wishing to measure his strength against Whitebeard. He unleashed what was referred to as "the strongest slash in the world," but his attack was stopped by Jozu.[30] When Luffy arrived at Marineford with Impel Down prisoners, Mihawk was amused and remarked that the Straw Hat never failed to make things interesting.[56] When Sengoku revealed the fact that Dragon is Luffy's father, Mihawk only commented that such a revelation is not really surprising.[38]

   When Luffy managed to break through the horde of fighting men, Mihawk met him head-on, not intending to hold back despite Luffy's connection to Shanks.[31] Luffy tried dodging Mihawk with extreme speed, but Mihawk spotted him and hit him from far off, since Luffy was still within his sword's range. After attacking Luffy again, Mihawk was confronted by two Impel Down escapees who had fought him before. Not caring to remember them, Mihawk took them out in a single blow before turning his attention back to Luffy. He unleashed a massive slash that cut through the frozen tsunami a great distance away, but Luffy managed to duck the attack. Mihawk then attacked Luffy with whirlwind slashes, driving him further from Ace. However, his blade suddenly sliced the body of the pirate Buggy after Luffy pulled him down to act as a shield. Buggy was thrown at Mihawk, who cut him into tiny pieces. Thanks to his Devil Fruit, Buggy was alive and attacked Mihawk with an explosive Muggy Ball, but Mihawk deflected it back at him. Luffy had managed to run far away from Mihawk, but the swordsman could continue the fight; however, he was suddenly met by Vista of the Whitebeard Pirates, and as he looked at Luffy, he reflected that the Straw Hat's ability to gain allies was his most dangerous strength.[32]

   After the army of Pacifista appeared, Mihawk commented to Vista that it was time to finish their battle, while the latter stated they both had a point in their favor.[57] After Whitebeard got stabbed by Squard, Mihawk was the only one to ignore the event and did not even gaze at him.[58] He later fought in the Oriz Plaza after the pirates managed to get through the siege wall.[59]

   Mihawk returned to his home on Kuraigana Island, only to find Zoro and Perona had been delivered there in his absence. Though annoyed, he treated his "guests" civilly, cautioning Perona to be skeptical of news reports about Gecko Moria's death at Marineford, and giving Zoro information on Luffy's situation as well as a spare boat. To his further exasperation, Zoro refused to consider any rest or recovery, despite his recent wounds and struggles against the island's Humandrills.[5]

   Several days later, Mihawk found Zoro suddenly entering his castle, begging for his tutelage in swordsmanship. Mihawk was initially disdainful, believing that Zoro had retreated after failing to beat the Humandrills and get off the island. However, Zoro revealed that he had beaten the Humandrills. Mihawk was amused that Zoro wanted to train under him in order to eventually take his head and laughed. He agreed to Zoro's request, though not before Perona helped heal the pirate's wounds.[17]

   During the Timeskip While training Zoro, Mihawk taught him how to imbue his swords with Haki, forbidding him from drinking alcohol until he had mastered doing so, much to Zoro's chagrin.[28] After two years, Zoro's training finished, and the young swordsman left for the Sabaody Archipelago.[18]

   Sometime later, he was contacted by Crocodile. Mihawk wished to relocate due to the marines keep swarming Kuraigana Island, during which Crocodile offered to team up with him and stated that the marines would not take an organization formed by the two of them lightly, partly due to Mihawk's past reputation as a "Marine Hunter". He lastly concluded that they were both the same; they do not trust anyone. Mihawk agreed to his offer and together they formed the Cross Guild, an organization that places bounties on and hunts Marines.[63]

   He was later seen together with Crocodile on Karai Bari Island with a beat up Buggy, due to the latter not only being recognized in the world as an Emperor but also as the leader of their new organization. Although feeling greatly insulted, he suggested that Buggy taking all the heat as a figurehead may not be the worst idea. He further added that he was not interested in the title of Emperor, preferring to live peacefully and that they could always get rid of Buggy when the need arises, to which Crocodile agreed. He was then, together with Crocodile, introduced by Buggy to his followers.[63]

   When Buggy promised Crocodile and Mihawk a ship for the Cross Guild would be shown, both were displeased by the obvious resemblance of the ship with Buggy, deciding to beat him up again as a punishment and have his head hang up from a hook. Crocodile was then discussing the positive reception of the Cross Guild with Mihawk, referring to his Operation Utopia still ongoing, but that they were still lacking strength. Both he and Mihawk then got annoyed by Buggy when they were questioned by Buggy as pirates for just settling for small goals instead of the big treasures. Both got even more angrier when Buggy announced to them his intention to become the Pirate King and go claim the One Piece. Mihawk, however, just replied there was no chance Buggy could convince them and asked Buggy if he would expect them to fight against the other Emperors just to get the One Piece. When Buggy started to announce to his crew his plans of going for the One Piece, Crocodile tried to silence him by stepping on his head, but was unable to stop him and then got extremely angry when Buggy announced they would go for the One Piece.[64]

   With Vegapunk's worldwide broadcast nearing its end, Mihawk and Crocodile became visibly annoyed at Buggy's henchmen when they jumped to the conclusion that Buggy knew everything all along.[65] As Buggy played his crew's hype into another chance to make himself look good, Mihawk was unimpressed, and sat quietly as Crocodile told the pirate clown to sit down.[66]

6. #6Daz Bonezconstant

   Keys: Daz Bonez

   "The Killer" Daz Bonez,[4] alias Mr. 1, is a former bounty hunter[3] and the former highest-ranked male Officer Agent of Baroque Works. His partner was Miss Doublefinger.[1] After escaping Impel Down, he traveled with Crocodile in the New World[7] and later joined Crocodile's new organization, Cross Guild.[2]

   He was a major antagonist during the Arabasta Arc and a tentative ally in the Impel Down and Marineford Arcs.

   Appearance Daz is a tan man with long, thin limbs and fingers. He is tall and very muscular and his head is shaven. His most striking feature is probably the black unibrow, right over his round eyes. He has big lips and the archaic Japanese symbol of the number "1" (壱, ichi?) tattooed on his torso.[1]

   In the Arabasta Kingdom, he sported an oriental-looking attire consisting of a sleeveless dark coat with golden edges and white motifs on the front, over very loose beige pants held up by a white sash around the waist, with some light brown fur sprouting from it. His pants were tucked inside some bandages wrapped around his calves and in part around his shoes.[1]

   In Impel Down, like most prisoners, he wore striped prisoner clothing. He gained a scar to the right of his right eye, likely a result of something that occurred while or after he was taken to Impel Down.[8] (Due to the fact that he lacked such a scar or any sort of facial injury during the Baroque Works' cover serial, it is impossible for him to have obtained the scar during his fight with Zoro.) During his break-out of his cell, he was bare-chested, with his shirt tied around his waist.[9]

   After the Summit War of Marineford, he sports a dark suit over a plain open shirt, with a tie kept loose around his neck.[7]

   After timeskip, he still wears a black suit, but sports a pink open shirt instead of a white one.

   Personality Daz is very stern, calm, focused, disciplined, self-assured and confident. Due to his Devil Fruit abilities, he has come to think of himself as unbeatable. He is laconic and serious at all times and does not tolerate weakness or frivolity. Daz also has the belief that having friendships makes one weak. Surprisingly, he does not seem to care for grudges either; he assisted Luffy in the escape from Impel Down due to Crocodile's orders, barely noting the fact that Zoro and Luffy are companions.

   Mr. 1 was notorious within the West Blue for his previous profession as an assassin (under his real name "Daz Bonez"), implying he was (and still is) highly skilled at stealth and killing efficiently. He also demonstrated to be merciless to those that dare challenge him to combat, and is not concerned with the swordsmen code of conduct, as he attacked Zoro while in a vulnerable and defenseless position. However, he demonstrates high loyalty to those that treat him with respect (Crocodile), and is not a petty man clouded by past bias or judgements.[9]

   In battle, he is utterly merciless and bloodthirsty, demonstrating this when he hit Roronoa Zoro while the pirate was wounded and unable to defend himself after licking his enemy's blood off his own hands.[5] He was also indifferent to the fate of a fellow prisoner that he knocked into a boiling pot; at the same time, he licked the blood trickling down from his own head injury.[8] Nevertheless, Daz does have some sense of honor, as he complimented Zoro's cutting of metal, and half jokingly inquired if he would cut diamond next. Upon receiving Zoro's reply, he simply collapsed, accepting defeat. [10]

   While Daz is generally a cold-hearted person, as a child, he secretly had a dream of becoming a superhero. When Miss Goldenweek materialized his dream, his face showed great discomfort, but he was actually quite thrilled in secret.[11]

   Much like his boss, Crocodile, Bonez generally views allies as hindrances rather than assets. His relationship with Miss Doublefinger is a professional partnership, with both of them working together to accomplish any task set before them.

   While Mr. 1 generally has mostly the same type of indifferent professional relationship with a majority of the Baroque Works Agents, he is on bad terms with Mr. 2 Bon Kurei. Because Mr. 2's flamboyant nature conflicts with his static and cold-hearted demeanor , the two of them would often engaged in fights with one another, very similar in nature to their future opponents, Roronoa Zoro (who had beaten Daz), and Sanji (who had beaten Mr. 2). Ever since first meeting each other in Spiders Cafe, they have had this type of rivalry relationship, even in Impel Down's breakout.

   Nevertheless, Daz has shown complete obedience and a fiercely loyalty towards Crocodile, as when most of their colleagues left prison, Daz stayed behind with his boss and awaited transfer to Impel Down. He later joined the riot in Impel Down, stating it was because Crocodile asked.[9] He even fought Dracule Mihawk, the world's greatest swordsman, on Crocodile's command, and his loyalty was rewarded when Crocodile himself saved both Daz and Luffy's lives from Mihawk. When Crocodile announced his journey to the New World, he offered Mr. 1 to join him, to which he obliged without hesitation.

   Abilities and Powers Formerly a bounty hunter from the West Blue known as "The Killer", Daz Bonez is a proficient hand-to-hand martial artist and highly dangerous combatant feared for his talents in assassinating criminals. Even Smoker, a formidably powerful Marine in his own right, acknowledged Bonez as a powerful opponent and was surprised Zoro managed to defeat him.[3] Befitting his profession, he has considerable knowledge in assassination, as seen when he started targeting Nami before Zoro in Alubarna, saying that the first rule of assassination is "pick off the weakest target first".[12] His power was great enough to put him in the Level 4 of Impel Down, where he defeated a fellow prisoner easily.[8]

   His strength is such that he can defeat many members of the Whitebeard Pirates and their allies from the New World.[13] His strength has earned Crocodile's respect, something that most Baroque Works members, and even Crocodile's right-hand woman, Nico Robin, did not receive. Crocodile went out of his way to free Daz from his cell to assist him in the upcoming war.[9]

   His skills are substantial enough to be recognized by the world's greatest swordsman, Dracule Mihawk, who does not bother to remember the names of those who he considers weaklings.[14] He is strong enough to be unafraid of the New World as he has no problem going there.[7] It can also be surmised that after two years, Daz grew much stronger, as he not only survived his time in the New World with Crocodile, but also helped destroy the Marine ships sent after Buggy after the dissolution of the Warlords system.

   Advertisement Physical Abilities Even without his Devil Fruit powers, he is a very dangerous and extremely strong man, possessing considerable superhuman strength and endurance. This was seen when he was incarcerated in Impel Down and simply gave a headbutt to a fellow prisoner (who was larger than him) that proved strong enough to knock the man over a great distance. Mr. 1 was also most likely wearing seastone shackles at the time, and was punched by the prisoner hard in the head, but simply shrugged the pain off before retaliating.[8] Even the intense heat of Level 4 seemed to have little to no effect on him.[8] Bonez also managed to block a slash from Mihawk, although the following attack cut him down instantly.[14]

   Mr. 1 was approximately equal to Roronoa Zoro physically in Arabasta, where the latter managed to lift up a largely intact building off the ground with his bare hands.

   Devil Fruit Further information: Supa Supa no Mi Daz Bonez wielding the Supa Supa no Mi. Daz Bonez wielding the Supa Supa no Mi.

   Daz ate the Supa Supa no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to turn any part of his body into sharp steel blades.[15] This power gives him a near endless variety of slashing abilities, and it makes his body as hard as steel, making him almost immune to damage.

   He can transform any body parts of his choosing into blades, allowing him to perfectly combine blade work with martial arts skills, literally making him a living weapon; he can turn his arms into blades to augment his hand chops, turn his legs into blades to augment his kicks, turn his fingers into blades to make them like razor sharp claws, and even turn the bottoms of his feet into blades so that he can glide across the ground as if he were ice skating. Since his entire body is a blade, his blades have no front or back, making his swordplay difficult to counter.

   Notably, he can move his blades across his skin. For example, he can extend curved blades from his forearm at an angle perpendicular to his arm, then make the blades rotate around his arm, effectively turning his forearms into mini-tiller blades that shred anything they touch.

   History

   Advertisement Past Daz was an infamous bounty hunter from West Blue and was known as "The Killer" for his deadly skills.[3] He was one of the most well-known bounty hunters in the world to the point where even Roronoa Zoro, who was on the other side of the Red Line, had heard of him.[15]

   Daz was recruited into Baroque Works and became an Officer Agent, operating under the alias "Mr. 1".[1]

   Arabasta Saga Arabasta Arc Mr. 1 and the other Officer Agents assembled in the Arabasta Kingdom for the fulfillment of Baroque Works' ultimate goal, Operation Utopia. Upon arriving at Spiders Cafe, Mr. 1 came across Mr. 2 Bon Kurei's subordinates outside dancing. Suspicious of them, Mr.1 beat them up and threw them into the cafe, which caused a brief scuffle between him and Mr. 2. Before it could get out of hand, Mr. 1's partner, Miss Doublefinger, stopped them so that they could meet their mysterious boss, Mr. 0, in Rainbase.[1]

   After being transported to Rainbase by Banchi, the Officer Agents were led to a room that was submerged underwater. There they were greeted by Miss All Sunday, who revealed to them not only that they were under the casino of Rain Dinners, but also the identity of their boss, the Warlord of the Sea Crocodile. After a brief revelation, Mr. 1 and his fellow agents were informed of the goal of their final plan and what they had to do to achieve it. Mr. 3, a fellow agent who had snuck into the meeting, revealed to them that he had failed in his mission to assassinate Princess Vivi and the Straw Hat Pirates. With this new information and some faces provided by Mr. 2 who had happened to have met the pirates in question, Mr. 1 and his fellow agents were ordered by Crocodile to be on the look out for Vivi and the pirates. As Vivi was a friend of the leader of the rebellion that was happening in Arabasta, Koza, their meeting with could spell ruin for Operation Utopia. With this final order, Mr. 1 and his fellow agents went to fulfill their parts in their final mission.[16]

   As the mission commenced in Nanohana, Mr. 1 and Miss Doublefinger took over a gigantic weapons ship and crashed it into the port town. With the damage caused by the ship and the farce perpetuated by Mr. 2 masquerading as the king of Arabasta, Nefertari Cobra, at the same time, Mr. 1 and his fellow agents had set off a series of events that would provoke the rebels into fighting against the king and his army. As Mr. 1 and Miss Doublefinger were leaving, they found out that a little boy, Kappa, had discovered the truth behind Mr. 2's trick. Seeing the potential danger, they messed the boy up so he would not ruin the mission before leaving with Mr. 2 to Alubarna, the capital of Arabasta.[17]

   Regrouping with the rest of the Officer Agents at the western most gate of the city, Mr. 1 and his fellow agents were told to wait there for Vivi and her pirate companions which they learned would be coming. Soon enough, they saw the princess and her companions arriving on Super Spot-Billed Ducks. To their surprise, Mr. 1 and his fellow agents noticed there were six cloaked figures heading toward them, all wearing the same type of cloak. Since the six cloaked figures were all riding Super Spot-Billed Ducks, the quickest animal in Arabasta, Mr. 1 and his fellow agents unfortunately could not catch the group as it split up and passed them heading to one of the five city gates. Not knowing which one of the was Vivi, Mr. 1 and his fellow agents split up as well to catch the cloaked figures. Following two cloaked figures who passed through the westernmost gate with his partner, Mr. 1 caught up with them. However much to his and Miss Doublefinger's surprise, not one of the two they followed was Vivi. Instead they were Zoro and Nami.[18]

   Seeing that Nami was the weaker of the two, Mr. 1 and Miss Doublefinger decided to get rid of her first. However, in the midst of an attack against her, Mr. 1's attack was blocked by Zoro. Recognizing the pirate as the one who had defeated the one hundred Millions agents who worked at Whisky Peak and the one who had killed the previous Mr. 7, Mr. 1 soon got into a battle with the pirate hunter while Miss Doublefinger went off to battle Nami. Having a body as hard as steel thanks to his Devil Fruit powers, Mr. 1 was able to withstand all of Zoro's attacks.[19] Despite this, Mr. 1's opponent was able to withstand his attacks as well. As the battle continued, Mr. 1 attacked Zoro more brutally with each attack. Much to Mr. 1's surprise, no matter what he did, his opponent would not fall down regardless of the wounds Mr. 1 inflicted on him. In the apex of the battle with his opponent completely covered with blood and wounds, Mr. 1 decided to finish Zoro once and for all. However, at that very moment, his opponent was finally able to slash through Mr. 1's metal body.[20]

   Completely wounded from the slash, Mr. 1 accepted his his defeat and fell unconscious.[10] After Operation Utopia failed with Luffy beating Crocodile, Mr. 1 was found and arrested by the Marines headed by Tashigi.[21] He and the other arrested Baroque Works agents were then sent to prison.

   Advertisement Water 7 Saga Miss Goldenweek's "Operation: Meet Baroque Works" After being arrested, Daz, along with Crocodile and the other arrested Officer Agents were imprisoned in a Marine base. There, he, Crocodile, and Mr. 4 established themselves as the strongest amongst the male prisoners there.[22] As time passed, they were soon visited by the most unexpected of visitors, Miss Goldenweek and the Mr. 5 team. With a mission to free their imprisoned colleagues, Miss Goldenweek and her group infiltrated the Marine base and freed Daz and the others from their cells.[23] Though he was offered freedom, Daz, along with Crocodile, decided to voluntarily stay behind in their cell.[24]

   As they remained in the ruins that their fellow agents made for their escape, Daz and Crocodile were affected by a hypnotic technique from Miss Goldenweek that materialized their deepest dreams. Though Crocodile was annoyed by this, Daz on the other hand, was secretly delighted that his past dream of becoming a superhero was materialized.[11] Continuing to refuse freedom, they were soon greeted by Mr. 2 and Mr. 3 who were both just captured by Captain Hina. Together, the four Baroque Works members were sent to Impel Down.[25]

   Summit War Saga Impel Down Arc Daz was incarcerated in the Level 4 "Blazing Hell" of Impel Down. While they were carrying logs for the fire pit, a runaway prisoner tried to knock Bonez aside, but in response, Bonez headbutted the prisoner, knocking him into the boiling blood pot, much to the annoyance of the guards.[8] He also noticed the attempt that Luffy was making to reach level 5.

   When Crocodile was freed and escaped from Level 6 along with Luffy, Ivankov, Inazuma, and Jinbe, he offered to free Daz to provide him some backup and he agreed.[9] Later, he joined the main force alongside Luffy and Mr. 2 Bon Kurei. As Blackbeard caused the leaders of this main force to stop, Magellan was able to follow them once taking out Blackbeard and his crew without much effort. Although Ivankov and Inazuma tried to stop Magellan, he still overcame them and as soon as Daz, along with the other rioters, joined with Buggy's forces, Magellan attacked them. Fortunately, they were saved by Mr. 3 Galdino's wax abilities.[26]

   As Luffy decided to take on Magellan with Galdino's abilities, Daz, Crocodile, Jinbe, Bon Kurei, Buggy, and the other rioters made their way to the main entrance in order to get a ship. Although they expected Marine ships to attack them, instead they were sailing away. As it seemed to be too late to get a ship, Daz, Crocodile and Buggy rode on a makeshift raft carried by Jinbe and were easily able to get onto one of the marine ships with the help of Jinbe's fish-man abilities. He and Crocodile alone managed to defeat all the Marines on the battleship. He then mocked Buggy for being completely useless during the battle.[27]

Daz wondered why he was so weak if it was true.[28] He was then seen alongside the other Impel Down fugitives, falling from the sky to Marineford, to support Crocodile and to assist in the Whitebeard War.[29] He was later seen alongside Crocodile fighting the Whitebeard Pirates.[13]

7. #7Galdinoconstant

   Keys: Galdino

   "Loan Shark" Galdino,[8][9] alias Mr. 3,[1] is a former officer agent of Baroque Works, partnered with "Miss Goldenweek" Marianne.[5]

   As an officer agent of Baroque Works, he and his partner were assigned to intercept and eliminate the Straw Hat Pirates in Little Garden, but failed. He served in the syndicate until shortly before its dissolution at the Straw Hat Pirates' hands. After being sent to Impel Down, he assisted Buggy and Monkey D. Luffy during their prison breakout and the Summit War of Marineford. When the war ended, he became a member of the Buggy Pirates.[4] After Buggy became a Warlord of the Sea, the Buggy and Alvida Alliance evolved into the Underworld organization known as Buggy's Delivery.[3] The organization was integrated into a larger one, Cross Guild, of which he is currently a member.[2]

   He is the main antagonist of the Little Garden Arc and a supporting antagonist of the Arabasta Saga as a whole, one of the central characters of the Miss Goldenweek's "Operation: Meet Baroque Works" cover arc (along with the rest of Baroque Works' Officer Agents), and a supporting ally during the Impel Down and Marineford Arcs.When he first appeared, Galdino was an average-sized man with a rather frail-looking build. Like other male Baroque Works agents, Mr. 3 has his number hidden somewhere on his costume. For Mr. 3, he has 3's visible on his vest design, the upper part of his glasses, and one big 3 achieved through his topknot. He also wears glasses and has neatly combed hair. He was also seen wearing a Log Pose on his left wrist. As a small form of comic relief, his hair seems to form various shapes according to the situation (like a "!" when he got scared or a "?" when he heard about Luffy for the first time and asked who Luffy was during the Little Garden arc, and even an arrow pointing to where he was talking about during the Impel Down Arc).

   Later, like most Impel Down prisoners, he wears a striped prisoner's outfit, with his topknot sagging and the right lens of his glasses cracked. His hair became untidy, and he grew a beard due to the roughness of the Beast Hell he was placed in.[10]

   After the escape, he changed to a black pair of pants and donned a cloak over his attire. In an attempt to save Ace, Galdino disguised himself as an executioner and somehow made himself look slightly more muscular.

   After the war he trimmed his hair back to its original length but kept his beard. He is also seen wearing an orange button-collar shirt and brown pants.

   When Galdino uses his Candle Champion technique, he gains an incredible change in size. The suit is white; however, with Miss Goldenweek's painting abilities, the suit could be colored, as shown during the Little Garden Arc.

   After the time-skip, not much has changed about Galdino except that he has grown a full mustache. He also currently wears a white shirt with suspenders and a red bow tie.Galdino thinks very highly of himself and is not afraid to show it. He believes himself to be a master of strategy, using his intellect and total lack of scruples to complete his plans. This statement is at least partly true, since Crocodile himself admitted that although Mr. 4 and Miss Merry Christmas were stronger than Galdino, he had been assigned a higher rank due to his intelligence.

   He also thinks of himself as a great artist, using his wax powers to turn his victims into "living statues" for his former partner, Miss Goldenweek, to paint over.

   However, when presented with situations in which he has to fight for his life, he reveals himself as little more than a coward who fears fighting (such as when a rage-filled Brogy was close to completely shattering his wax bonds).

   He is also somewhat sadistic, as he prefers killing people after making them perfect human sculptures in a long and painful process, rather than killing them directly. During his fights, he prefers to prevent opponents from attacking him by trapping their body parts with his Devil Fruit.

   Galdino also likes tea, especially Earl Grey.[11]

   “ If I were to tell you... I am here to fulfill the final wish of my lost comrade... Would you laugh at me, hmmm?! ” — Mr. 3 as he crafts the key to set Ace free for Luffy.[12]

   However, he apparently had some unexpected changes while in Impel Down. While he was a coward before, Galdino risked his life to repay a debt to Luffy by blocking a torrent of deadly poison. He also admits that if he is not careful, he could end up viewing Luffy as a friend. After Bentham sacrificed himself to save the escapees, he was clearly very upset and admitted that he did not think Bentham was really all that bad. This eventually results in Galdino attempting to free Ace on his own accord, stating that he wants to avenge his fallen comrade and fulfill Bentham's last wish, risking his life for a second time in doing so.

   Like many other characters, Galdino has a distinct speech style. He tends to end his sentences in "gane," for example, "omae mo-gane" (you too gane) or "warau-gane" (laugh-gane). Like many catchphrases in the series, it has no actual meaning other than a distinct way of talking.

   Advertisement Relationships Baroque Works He and his partner, Miss Goldenweek, had a relationship standard of most Baroque Works pairs. While he greatly appreciated her help with her painting skills, he would also grow annoyed from time to time when she would easily give away information. She would also paint his wax sculptures for him.

   He thought lowly of those who were beneath him in rank. He openly showed distaste for Mr. 5 upon learning of his defeat in Whisky Peak. He saw Mr. 5 as a fool who relied more on the power of his Devil Fruit and should have been more tactful. He also wished for the downfall of those above him in rank as well so as to benefit him with a promotion, making him antagonistic to the other Officer Agents.

   Though he is a loyal subject to Crocodile, Mr. 3 began to fear him after Crocodile attempted to murder him by feeding him to the Bananawani. Ever since, the mere sight of Crocodile fills him with terror. However, after the timeskip when Crocodile formed the Cross Guild, Galdino was overjoyed to be working for him again, albeit with some retained fear.

   While initially viewing Mr. 2 Bon Kurei as an idiotic nuisance, the Okama's actions in Impel Down deeply moved Mr. 3; he felt that his actions in Marineford helped avenge, as he put it, his "fallen friend."

   Buggy Galdino and Buggy team up to escape Impel Down. Galdino and Buggy team up to escape Impel Down.

   Galdino and Buggy teamed up in Impel Down in order to escape the Great Prison and, sharing a hatred for Luffy, quickly became friends. However, they usually found that their attempts to escape without the assistance of Luffy and his allies proved fruitless, and it was only through Luffy's help that they managed to break free.

   During their time side by side in Impel Down, Galdino acted as the more cautious of the two, frequently warning Buggy of the dangers that the two of them have triggered throughout the course of their escape from the prison. In the anime, he has, on more than one occasion, had to do things himself to ensure Buggy's safety as well as his own, using his wax to supply them with convenient implements to protect their lives with.

   After the breakout, Galdino was deeply shocked to learn that Buggy was once a member of the Roger Pirates and was good friends with Shanks, making him question Buggy's cowardly nature. After Buggy gains his blindly loyal followers, Galdino remains the only one who can see through Buggy's courageous façade and wonders how far he can take it.

   After the Summit War of Marineford, Galdino stayed with Buggy and joined his crew along with the other escaped Impel Down inmates. Though his exact position within the crew is unknown, he appears to be one of the high-ranking members given his friendship with Buggy and the fact that he is seen eating with the other high-ranking members of the crew (Mohji, Richie, Cabaji, and Alvida). Presumably, he was pardoned like the other Impel Down escapees that joined Buggy's crew, due to Buggy becoming a Warlord of the Sea. This also makes him a member of Buggy's Delivery, the pirate mercenary group founded by Buggy.

   However, he stated he had never officially joined Buggy's crew and was more than willing to work for his original boss, even mocking Buggy while he was at it.

   Advertisement Monkey D. Luffy Mr. 3 was initially antagonistic to Luffy after ambushing his new giant friend Dorry and causing him to almost die. Mr. 3 scoffed at Luffy's approach of following blind instinct but was nonetheless defeated by that very same instinct.

   The two met up again in Impel Down, where Galdino seemed to forgive Luffy for his past actions against him. While initially showing cowardice in the walls of Impel Down, Luffy's actions helped motivate Galdino to become more active in freeing all of the escapees from the Great Prison, a task that would have been impossible without him and his wax. He assisted Luffy in holding off Magellan long enough for Jinbe, Mr. 1, Crocodile, and Buggy to abscond with a ship.

   He was later shocked to hear about Luffy's heritage but played a pivotal role in helping Luffy free his brother during the Summit War of Marineford. After Luffy's key had been broken by Kizaru, Galdino crafted a new key made of wax, and it was that act that finally freed Ace from his shackles.

   Abilities and Powers Prior to the fall of Baroque Works, Mr. 3 was amongst the top-ranked members of the criminal organization and presumably had a number of Billions (the lower-ranked subordinates of Baroque Works Officer Agents) under his command.

   He is also highly artistic and detailed, capable of perfectly replicating the physical structure of a human being with just a visual in mind.

   Crocodile only allowed Mr. 3 to hold his position in the organization as "Mr. 3" because Mr. 4 was too mentally slow. Otherwise, he would have been ranked lower. In Impel Down, he proves his overall lack of fighting spirit on a number of occasions; this was further proven when he fainted under Luffy's burst of Haki, though he did wake up for some time after that on his own. He acted like a coward and backed up Buggy's escape plan rather than Luffy's much more dangerous advancement to the lower levels. After Magellan had shown up on the fleeing group during their escape, Galdino showed a moment of bravery, but he admitted he could only hold it together for a brief moment.

   In spite of his cowardice, Galdino seems to have some skill in stealth and infiltration.

   Advertisement Master Tactician Galdino's tactical intellect is his greatest asset. Opportunistic by nature, Galdino prefers to use cunning wits to outsmart and defeat enemies. This was shown when he manipulated the everlasting battle between the giants Dorry and Brogy so as to obtain at least one Beli100,000,000 bounty without the need to engage in any physical combat.

   He is very observant with a strong sense of danger, as he noticed something was amiss in Impel Down's Level 4 after he and Buggy accidentally ended up in Level 4 with Bentham and Luffy. He noticed the guards were moving in formations and that no one was feeding the fires, nor were any of the prisoners trying to escape. As a result, he cautioned Buggy on following Bentham and Straw Hat to the kitchen, fearing the possibility of a trap, and told Buggy they had to check the exits, suspecting the possibility of Warden Magellan appearing to restore order to the prison and capture Luffy, which was proven when Magellan personally appeared to stop Luffy.

   While working together, he and Buggy were able to bypass many of Impel Down's surveillance systems after abandoning Bentham in Level 5. This was further elaborated during the Marineford Arc, where he demonstrated being clever enough to avoid Aokiji's freezing powers by substituting himself with one of his wax statues without the admiral noticing, and then later succeeding at impersonating one of Ace's executioners in his secret attempt to free the 2nd Division Commander.

   Devil Fruit Further information: Doru Doru no Mi Mr. 3 using the Doru Doru no Mi. Mr. 3 using the Doru Doru no Mi.

   Galdino ate the Doru Doru no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, which allows him to create and control candle wax.[13] He can manipulate this wax into any shape he desires, change it between solid and liquid states, and control its motion in both liquid and hardened states. The wax is noted to be stronger than steel while it is solid. Interestingly, as a "Candle Man," he produces flames from his hair while using his powers.

   He is able to craft various weapons, tools, and other constructs out of wax; he can attack his opponents with wax swords and spears, bind his opponents in globs of wax that he hardens on contact with the victim, and protect himself with wax walls and hide among a collection of wax clones. He can even create a wax mech suit for himself and form buildings out of wax that he and his allies can use as a home base/protective fortress. He can also use his wax to create keys that he can use to unlock cages and shackles.

   Galdino's wax is an excellent defense against poison and is resilient against digestive acid. These are attributes that he used to overcome dangerous situations, such as protecting himself and the other prisoners in Impel Down from Magellan's poison and when Crocodile fed him to a giant gator.

   His wax can be quickly melted by high heat and fire.

   Advertisement Ship Further information: Chiryaku Ten'nen Maru The ship that Mr. 3 used when he was a Baroque Work agent. The ship that Mr. 3 used when he was a Baroque Work agent.

   Mr. 3 owned a personal ship during his career in Baroque Works. He used this ship to arrive discreetly to Arabasta and to escape Mr. 2 Bon Kurei's vigilance. It's a small boat with 3 as a figurehead. It also has the Baroque Works Jolly Roger as the flag. Nefertari Vivi mentioned that it is powered by his Doru Doru no Mi powers,[14] although the exact method has yet to be explained. It likely functions similarly to Smoker's Billower Bike in that his wax flows around an axle to rotate the paddles.

   What happened to it after Mr. 3 was arrested and sent to Impel Down is unknown, but it is unlikely that he is still using it, as he is now onboard Big Top.

   History Past Galdino's past remains largely unknown; according to Crocodile, he was given his high position in Baroque Works for his intellect, despite being physically weaker than Mr. 4. He also once defeated a criminal with a Beli42,000,000 bounty.[15]

   Arabasta Saga Little Garden Arc Shortly after the Straw Hat Pirates decimated the Baroque Works outpost of Whisky Peak, Crocodile dispatched orders to kill the crew as soon as possible, especially their new passenger Nefertari Vivi. These orders reached Mr. 3 and Miss Goldenweek during a sponsored vacation on Kyuka Island; much to his chagrin, Miss Goldenweek neglected to share them until several days after the fact.[16]

   Nevertheless, the duo arrived at Little Garden. Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine then arrived on the island and entered Mr. 3's wax house. Inside the hideout, Mr. 3 and Miss Goldenweek had been expecting the two while drinking tea. Mr. 3 mocked his fellow officer agents for their failure to kill Vivi, putting their organization in danger. As a second chance, he offered them to complete a job or to be killed by him. Besides killing the Straw Hats, the job consisted of capturing the two giants, Dorry and Brogy. The bounties they had before starting their fight a hundred years ago were still valid and capturing them would allow them to collect a Beli200,000,000 bounty. It was revealed that in order to accomplish their plan, Mr. 3 had ordered Mr. 5 to place a bomb in the rum that Dorry and Monkey D. Luffy were drinking.[17]. Elsewhere, Zoro realized that he was lost, when he spotted what appeared to be Nami; however, meanwhile, the real Nami and Usopp had been running from a dinosaur when she spotted what appeared to be Luffy.[18]

   After defeating Dorry, Brogy was ecstatic, though Luffy, knowing that the duel was rigged, was angry and demanded to know who the real culprit was. Mr. 3 then revealed himself to Brogy and asked why he was crying, to which Brogy demanded to know who he was, which prompted Mr. 3 to introduce himself and exclaimed that the giant had already been captured. When Brogy moved to take a step forward, it was revealed that he had been immobilized by wax. Meanwhile, back at Dorry's camp, Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine showed up and Luffy realized it was them that they had planted the bomb. They also revealed that they had captured Karoo and intended to use him to separate Vivi from Luffy. Angered by their lack of morals, Vivi and Usopp attacked the duo, only to be defeated easily.In the meantime, Mr. 3 had completely defeated Brogy and announced that he would make a masterpiece out of him.[19]

   Mr. 3 then told Brogy how he had helped him out during his fight with Dorry by using explosives, of which angered Brogy. Vivi was then delivered to Mr. 3, at which point she insulted him for his crude ways and sabotaging the fight. He then began to make a giant candle to wax his captives. Brogy then stated that at the beginning of the fight he knew something was wrong, and at that point, he attempted to attack Mr. 3, only to be taken out by Mr. 5's bomb attack.[20]

   Mr. 3's art work. Mr. 3's art work.

   While Brogy tried to get back up, Mr. 3 realized he needed to use more force to keep him down and he stabbed him with wax swords in his hands and his feet, immobilizing him completely. He then increased the speed of his candle technique and he explained that the Straw Hats would be turned into a group of wax statues, preserving the look of horror on their faces forever. Brogy then tried to get up once more but failed, and Zoro, inspired by his attempt, resolved to cut off his own legs to escape, and his resolve inspired Brogy to try one last time to get up. Fortunately Luffy, Karoo and Usopp arrived before they went through with it and vow to defeat the Baroque Works' agents, with Zoro asking Luffy to destroy the candle to which he agreed, but Mr. 3 saying that he would not let him.[21]

   Zoro switched his pose to one more awesome, just in case he got turned into wax, and Miss Goldenweek pointed out to Mr. 3 that the prisoners were not showing fear, which annoyed him. Luffy then prepared to fight, to which Mr. 3 accepted his challenge. Luffy then started attacking but he was quickly caught in a candle lock, but he used it to his advantage by making it into a hammer technique which he used to destroy the candle. However, this did not stop the waxing process and Mr. 3 continued his attack, but Usopp interrupted with an explosive bullet, but it was eaten by Mr. 5. Luffy continued his assault but Mr. 3 also continued his attacks as well, though Luffy beat him. But then he became strangely uncooperative as Miss Goldenweek activated her "color trap".[22]

   Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine explain that Luffy is under the spell of "color trap". Vivi then tricked Luffy into getting out of the trap which returned Luffy to normal, unfortunately he then got caught in another of Miss Goldenweek's traps, while Nami, Zoro and Vivi looked on in horror of their impeding doom. Meanwhile Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine were still chasing Usopp and Karoo, who freed Luffy from his trap but he was once again unable to combat Miss Goldenweeks' abilities. As the fight between the two duos continued, Mr. 5 realized that he was not fast enough to catch Usopp and Karoo, while Usopp headed back to the candle and found his friends waxed. Usopp then fired at Luffy destroying his shirt and freeing him from color trap once again, but he was promptly shot by Mr. 5, which angered Luffy declaring that he would defeat them.[23]

   Mr. 3 unveiled his Candle Champion technique to fight against Luffy, which Luffy found cool. He then started attacking Mr. 3, though his candle champion technique proved a formidable match, while Usopp realized a way to free his friends and he tried to free them, but he was stopped by Mr. 5 who bombarded him. He gave Karoo a piece of rope and some instructions, but he was overheard by Miss Valentine who then began by testing how much weight he could take. Luffy suddenly grabbed Mr. 3's hair and used his hair to light Karoo's rope, which was covered in oil, on fire.[24]

   The fire from Mr. 3's hair ignited the oil covered rope and creates a furnace, freeing the waxed Zoro, Vivi, Brogy, and Nami. Mr. 3 began to run away to which Luffy ran after him. Meanwhile, the other agents were defeated. Luffy was angry at Mr. 3 for destroying the pride of the giants' battle, and finally came across a multitude of Mr. 3's, but Luffy used his instincts and picked out the real Mr. 3, beating him once and for all.[25]

   At Mr. 3's wax house Sanji had a phone call with Mr. 0 and he pretended to be Mr. 3. He informed Mr. 0 that he had killed Vivi and the Straw Hats much to the pleasure of Mr. 0 who informed Sanji that the Unluckies will be at Little Garden shortly to deliver him an eternal log pose to Arabasta. The Unluckies then arrived and attack Sanji who quickly defeated them, and told Mr. 0 that one of the Straw Hats was still alive but that he finished them. This angered Mr. 0 and he hung up, and he then informed Miss All Sunday to send Mr. 2 Bon Kurei to Little Garden to assassinate Mr. 3 for giving him a false report.[26]

   Advertisement Arabasta Arc He later showed up in Arabasta and had arrived at Spiders Cafe to group up with his fellow officer agents. However, instead of revealing himself, he hitched a ride behind Banchi's carriage and went along with them to the Baroque Works hideout.

   Crocodile drains Mr. 3. Crocodile drains Mr. 3.

   After Crocodile revealed Operation Utopia to the officer agents gathered, Mr. 3 came out of hiding and interrupted the meeting. Crocodile then allowed him to speak and so, Mr. 3 asked for a second chance after failing to carry out his orders. Upon hearing this, Crocodile questioned him about what he meant, to which Mr. 3 then revealed that Vivi and the Straw Hats were still alive. Upon seeing Crocodile's anger, Mr. 3 tried to explain that the intelligence he was given was wrong. Mr. 3 then asks for a second chance at killing them, but before he could continue speaking, Crocodile grabbed him by the neck and sucked the moisture out of him. Afterwards, Crocodile would open a trap door and dropped Mr. 3 into the tank of Bananawanis for their meal. In the tank, Mr. 3 looked around and wondered he had fallen. He then noticed the Bananawani approaching him.[27]

   Later, when Sanji kicked a Bananawani to save his crew and retrieve the key to their cage from inside its stomach. From inside the Bananawani, however, out came a ball of wax, which is revealed to have been created by Mr. 3's powers to encapsulate himself in wax while in the gator's stomach. Upon escaping, Mr. 3 quickly drank some of the water leaking everywhere to hydrate himself. Then, Sanji demanded that Mr. 3 hand over the key to the cage, but instead, Mr. 3 threw the key. Upon being alerted by Usopp of Mr. 3's abilities, Sanji forced Mr. 3 to make a wax key. Sanji then knocked Mr. 3 unconscious. When Crocodile returned, he saw Mr. 3's body floating around in the water.

   Miraculously, Mr. 3 managed to escape Crocodile's wrath a second time; though he stayed in Arabasta for at least several more days, he took no part in Operation Utopia, and became one of the few Officer Agents to not be exposed and arrested upon Baroque Works' defeat. After the Arabasta civil war officially ended and the Straw Hats left the kingdom, he mixed in among hundreds of civilians in Rainbase, listening to the Den Den Mushi relaying Vivi's coming-of-age speech.[28][29]

   Eventually, Galdino returned to Kyuka Island, and for a time managed to avoid the many Marines pursuing Baroque Works fugitives. Unfortunately, the island came to the attention of "Black Cage" Hina, as well as a haphazard rescue-party consisting of the former Miss Goldenweek, Mr. 5, and Miss Valentine. In no time, Hina captured Miss Valentine, and threatened to execute her unless the remaining fugitives—including Galdino—surrendered.[30]

   Unsympathetic to his ex-associates, Galdino almost immediately tried to flee the island.[31] As he prepared to launch his ship, however, he was stopped by one more fugitive: the former Mr. 2.[32] Out of loyalty and sentimentality, Mr. 2 subdued Galdino, and "borrowed" his face (as well as clothing) to stage a faux-surrender to Hina.[33] This gambit enabled Miss Goldenweek and Mr. 5 to rescue Miss Valentine (and, ultimately, most of the imprisoned Officer Agents), but cost Mr. 2 and Galdino their own freedom, as both were arrested by the Marines and sent to Impel Down with Crocodile and the former Mr. 1.[34]

   Advertisement Summit War Saga Impel Down Arc Galdino offers his assistance at escaping. Galdino offers his assistance at escaping.

   Galdino was revealed to have been residing in Level 2 of Impel Down, appearing more ragged and with facial hair than he had prior to his sentencing, and apparently given up on hope of surviving within his confines.[10]

   When Luffy and Buggy entered Level 2 and defeated the Basilisk, Buggy decided to release the prisoners in order to cause a riot. Galdino saw his chance and went out, where he addressed them and said that he would repay the debt for letting him out by helping them to Level 3. However, once he heard that Luffy was intending to go down instead of up to Level 1, he attempted to back out of the deal, but reconsidered once he realized that the Level 3 stairwell would also lead back up to Level 1.

   He then conspired with Buggy to ditch Luffy so they could escape, but a Sphinx blocked their way to freedom. In order to ensure that he wasn't crushed by the Sphinx, he created lots of wax copies of himself in order to trick the Sphinx, but this only resulted in the Sphinx destroying the floor, sending Galdino, Buggy, Luffy and the Sphinx plummeting straight into Level 3.[35]

   With the Sphinx knocked out, Galdino explains that Level 3 is known as the "Starvation Hell", where the heat from Level 4 is so hot that it even reaches the one above, and the prisoners are forced to starve. Before they could go anywhere, they were captured in a Seastone-reinforced net. The guard and commander of the Blue Gorillas: Saldeath, says there is no escape, but the Sphinx, who was also captured along with the three, broke out of the net, releasing them. Galdino and Buggy climbed up and told Luffy they are ditching him to break out of prison, but Luffy gives his thanks anyway. Upon trying to find a way out, Galdino and Buggy came across Bentham's cell, who shocked to see Galdino out of his. An embarrassed Galdino suggests that they do not let him out.[36]

   Later Galdino and Buggy are mentioned to be in Level 2, but as Minotaurus landed on top of them because Luffy sent it flying, both of them had no other choice than to run. Minotaurus chased Galdino and Buggy down to Level 3 until they meet up with Luffy and Bentham. After all four of them joined up, they attacked the Minotaurus one after the other. Galdino contributed to the defeat of Minotaurus as he used his Devil Fruit powers to wax Luffy's arm so that the final blow by Luffy finished the Jailer Beast, Minotaurus, off. Only shortly after that, they realized that they were falling into the boiling point of Level 4. To their fortune, they could jump off the falling debris to land safely.

   When Luffy began to run in a random direction, Galdino along with Buggy and Bentham followed him as Bentham told them that there is a kitchen stuffed with food. However, as Galdino and Buggy realized that there were many guards running around in order to get Luffy, they changed their mind and made up an idea to escape from Level 4. As Galdino then saw Luffy being attacked by Magellan, he could only think of getting back to Level 3 by taking down Hannyabal. Galdino and Buggy assumed that Hannyabal would be weak as he does not seem to possess a Devil Fruit, and Buggy's Muggy Balls would also be of great advantage for them. They decided to make their way to the entrance to Level 3 from Level 4.

   Unfortunately, they underestimated Hannyabal severely, who easily defeated them both. They were rescued by Bentham, who was disguised as Hannyabal, and he told them they needed to save Luffy, who was defeated by Magellan and taken to Level 5. Galdino is afterwards seen with Buggy and a disguised Bentham traveling down to Level 5, the Freezing Hell. However, the three of them were shocked to learn that the prisoners and a supposed Hannyabal have to discard their cloaks. As soon as they entered, they saw the Wolf Unit intent to eat them. With Bentham prepared to face them, he is shown sprinting away in horror with Buggy.

   He is later shown alongside Buggy hiding on Level 2 using his Doru Doru powers and then making wax keys and freeing prisoners in order to cause a distraction for them to leave. Unfortunately, Magellan came to Level 2 and killed many of the rioters. He also sealed off all the entrances and exits to the level, causing Galdino to worry. Luckily, Blackbeard reopened the level and Galdino and the rioters prepared to head to Level 1. However, before they could escape out of Level 1, they were attacked by the revived Jailer Beasts, but thanks to the arrival of Luffy, Jinbe and Crocodile's group, the Jailer Beasts were quickly subdued again.

   Magellan quickly arrived to try to kill the group, but Galdino in a surprising move, blocked the Chief Warden's Hydra with his own Candle Wall, urging Luffy and company to escape, stating that he'd be damned if he had to keep being in Luffy's debt. As it was clear that Galdino could not actually defeat Magellan, he planned to escape, but Luffy stayed behind to back him up. Noticing his wax's defensive capabilities against Magellan's poison, Luffy asked and received a set of wax boxing gloves and boots, which he promptly used to injure Magellan.

   Galdino continued to hold down the fort against Magellan by creating wax barricades around some cannons until they were forced to flee from Magellan's poison golem. Galdino managed to make it out of Impel Down and onto the group's escape ship, upon which he collapsed and gave thanks to above. When Bentham sacrificed himself to enable the others' escape, Galdino was visibly stunned. He is later seen actually crying over Bentham's sacrifice and admits that he no longer actually had hard feelings towards him.

   Advertisement Marineford Arc Later, the Marines called the escape ship and revealed that Buggy was once part of the Pirate King's crew and is good friends with Shanks. Galdino wondered why Buggy is such a coward, if all that is true. When Luffy and the others reached the Gates of Justice, Galdino was seen to be very excited.

   He was later seen alongside with the other Impel Down fugitives, falling from the sky to Marineford, in order to support Luffy in Ace's rescue. He was also seen wearing a cloak and black pants over his original prisoner's striped shirt, understandably hysterical.

   When Buggy showed his shock at Kizaru's laser attack, then tried to hide it (of which most prisoners bought), Galdino cried out that they are so full of hope that they are half deaf. When Sengoku announced that Luffy's father is none other than Dragon the Revolutionary, Galdino was seen standing behind Buggy, both of them greatly shocked.[37] Galdino then followed Buggy and his group as Buggy starts to execute his plan. Galdino is seen screaming when Buggy got caught by a sandstorm created by Crocodile.

   Later in the battle, Galdino disguised himself as an executioner and manages to approach Ace's execution ground. He's ready to free Ace and in doing so avenging Bentham but had to abide by Sengoku's sudden order to have Ace instantly executed and pretended to do so, no doubt ready to reveal his true intention to liberate Ace at that point, leading to him being knocked out by Luffy's Haki. He regains consciousness when Luffy finally reaches the ground, just in time to protect Ace from Sengoku's attack with a Candle Wall. When Kizaru destroys Luffy's key, Galdino makes one himself with his powers, managing to free Ace from his chains in midair, but not before asking Luffy that if his reasons for helping him free Ace was to respect a comrade's (Bentham) final wishes, would he laugh at him, to which the Straw Hat said no, while the platform is destroyed.

   Both him and Luffy are thus saved by Ace, who protects them from the flames of the destroyed execution scaffold. Galdino is soon being dragged away by pirates while remarking that he thought that he was a goner when the Marines spotted him. Marco who wishes to support the others who are being attacked by Akainu, immediately orders Galdino to unlock his handcuffs with his ability and Marco is later seen engaging in battle with Akainu.

   Post-War Arc On an island in the Grand Line, Galdino, along with the other escaped prisoners following Buggy, joined the Buggy Pirates. When a World Government messenger bat delivered a letter, Galdino was shocked to read that it was an invitation for Buggy to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea.[4][38]

   Advertisement During the Timeskip After Buggy was appointed a member of the Seven Warlords, Galdino became a member of Buggy's Delivery.[3] It is assumed that he and the rest of the escaped Impel Down convicts who joined Buggy were pardoned as a result of Buggy's Warlord status.

   Right after Buggy is made one of the Seven Warlords, the Buggy Pirates came across Luffy and Boa Hancock fighting Sebastian of the World Pirates. Galdino then informed Buggy that the World Pirates were the reason that the Warlords were summoned. The two then plotted to take credit for World's potential defeat at the hands of Luffy, and although he was initially worried, Galdino happily agreed with Buggy's backup plan of alerting the Marines and fleeing just in case anything went from.

   When Perona defeated Sebastian, both Galdino and Buggy were surprised that she had been accompanying Mihawk. They then realized that Mihawk being there would have been great for the battle, but immediately figured that Mihawk was there to "steal" the credit. In response, Galdino told Buggy that they had to leave their traces in the battle to make sure that others knew that they were part of the fight.

   On board the ship, they watched as Byrnndi World fought Luffy. When Luffy was defeated, Galdino commented on how easily he was defeated and then asked Buggy what their next move was. In response, Buggy ordered his crew to revive Luffy, but this is misinterpreted as an action of friendship, to which Galdino looked at them in disbelief at their high hopes in Buggy's character. After Luffy awakened, Galdino pointed Luffy in the direction that World went and once again stood in disbelief at the crew admiring Buggy for slapping Luffy awake.

   Later, the crew encountered Gairam while walking through the ship, to which Galdino noted that he did not look so friendly. They are then attacked by Gairam's Cube Booster attack. When Buggy yelled at Luffy to go fight World, his crew thought they were words of encouragement, to which Galdino yet again stood in disbelief at how they had positively interpreted Buggy's words. After Buggy told Luffy that he would take care of Gairam, Galdino questioned Buggy on how he would do so, but immediately after, Gairam attacked them with his Air Cube Booster. Before it could hit, however, Galdino used his Candle Wall and blocked the attack and then told Buggy and the crew to run. Gairam then smashed his hammer against the candle wall, which then sent Galdino falling backwards.

   In the middle of Buggy's battle with Gairam, Buggy tried to bring his body back together, but failed when Gairam captured his main body. In response, Galdino asked Buggy what he was going to do now, to which Buggy revealed that he still had a trick up his sleeve. When Cabaji and Mohji asked if it was the Buggy Ball, Galdino remembered that that was the thing that Buggy used to fight the Jailer Beasts at Impel Down, but an annoyed Buggy then corrected him that that was actually the Muggy Ball at Impel Down, but that he was in fact actually going to use the Muggy Ball against Gairam. Gairam was then defeated when Hancock attacked him in the smoke that was created by the Muggy Ball. A surprised Galdino and Buggy then told her which way Luffy had gone. Afterwards, the crew believed that Buggy had taken down Gairam and so, Buggy happily took credit while Galdino pondered how long Buggy could keep his ruse up for.

   The crew then made it outside the ship and saw a fleet of Marine ships approaching. Buggy was surprised at why the Marines were there, but Galdino quickly reminded him that he was the one that called them there. The Marines, on the other hand, did not realize that it was Buggy on the ship and were ordered by Akainu to fire. Galdino then rode on Buggy's back to escape the cannon fire as the crew withdrew back to their ship.

   Keys: Alvida

   "Iron Mace" Alvida[1][7] is the former captain of the Alvida Pirates, and the first enemy pirate Monkey D. Luffy encountered in his own pirate career.[1]

   After her defeat by Luffy, she met and allied with Buggy to form the Buggy and Alvida Alliance, and for a time became the acting captain during Buggy's entanglements in Impel Down and the Summit War of Marineford. Since then, she has remained with the crew throughout Buggy's revolving fortunes, occupying high positions in both Buggy's Delivery[3] and the Cross Guild.[2]

   Due to her actions, she can be regarded as the secondary antagonist of the Romance Dawn Arc and a tertiary antagonist in the Loguetown Arc.

   The video player is currently playing an ad. You can skip the ad in 5 sec with a mouse or keyboard Appearance Originally, Alvida was a tall and obese woman with long wavy black hair and freckles on her cheeks. She wore a white cowgirl hat with a large red plume, a red neckerchief, a pink plaid shirt, and a blue captain's coat over it with the arms in the sleeves, unlike many other pirates. She wore rings on her fingers and her long sharp fingernails had red polish. She had a purple sash with a flintlock pistol tucked in it and some jewels. She also wore graying pants and red shoes with gold buckles.[1]

   After eating a Devil Fruit, Alvida has transformed by shedding the excess weight from her body. The Sube Sube no Mi makes Alvida very slippery and, aside from the cowboy hat she wears, Alvida looks totally different from her original form, being slim, well-endowed, with dark-green eyes (before brown), while maintaining her original hair.[8]

   She still has her cowboy hat, but she now dresses in a pearl necklace, a bikini top, and tight Capri-length pants. She sometimes has a purple coat draped over her shoulders. She wore a pair of sandals (shoes later in the Post-War Arc in the anime), and now tends to wear shoes that can slip off easily so she can use her Sube Sube Spur technique with the slippery soles of her feet. She still wears lipstick, polish on her now shorter fingernails, and her toenails are shown painted as well (something that before was not visible before due to her shoes). During her appearance in Loguetown, she also had a cape-like, pink cloak with red hearts on it.[8]

   Most people that see her actually fall in love with her (as seen in Loguetown, even women), similar to Boa Hancock. Delusional (or, most likely, in denial) about her former appearance, Alvida comments that the only change she experienced after eating the Devil Fruit was simply that it "made her freckles disappear".[8]

   After the timeskip, she replaced her cowboy hat with a red-and-white top hat, and capri pink pants.

   Advertisement Personality Alvida sees herself as the most beautiful lady in all of the sea, even when she had a much more rotund and neglected appearance.[1] If someone would disagree, she would smash the offender with her iron mace.[9]

   She does not like noise and dirty things,[1] nor does she take to risking her life against overwhelming odds.[10] She can be foreboding to men, especially subordinates,[11] and is not afraid to put her foot down firmly on things that go against her interests.[12] When pushed, she can be cruel above all else.[1]

   Disliking filth and laziness, her crew was forced to clean the entire deck of her ship. If there is even a hint of dust, she would smash that person with her club.[1]

   Before she found and ate the Sube Sube no Mi, people used to say that she was the most beautiful woman in the world just to avoid getting hit by her iron club. After she ate her Devil Fruit, their comments became genuine thanks to her new beauty, even though Boa Hancock and the Mermaid Princess have also been called the most beautiful women in the world. After eating the Devil Fruit, she also underwent a personality change. She speaks in much softer tones and is somewhat less prone to hitting her crew with her iron mace, despite the fact that her men (and any other men) are too distracted by her appearance to care when they are hit by her mace.

   Relationships Allies Buggy Pirates Alvida sailing with the Buggy Pirates. Alvida sailing with the Buggy Pirates.

   Alvida at first traveled with Buggy, though only because they have a common person they wish to find (Luffy).[13] She, however, did not seem to tolerate Buggy and his crew's constant noise-making and asked his crew to not be so noisy.[14] Also, she did not hesitate to abandon him when the crew met a dead end in their quest to free Buggy.[15]

   In turn, the Buggy Pirates ended up serving her due to the loss of their captain. She seemed to have no problem with Buggy returning to being the other captain of the Alliance when the original Buggy Pirates found Buggy and his group of Impel Down ex-prisoners after the war.[16]

   After Buggy became a Warlord of the Sea, Alvida became a member of his Pirate Dispatch Organization.[3]

   After Buggy was beaten up by Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk for accidentally taking leadership of Cross Guild, Alvida, alongside the rest of the administration, nonchalantly agreed to follow Crocodile while brushing off their chairman's impending death as they continued to party.[2]

   Advertisement Enemies Monkey D. Luffy Luffy defeats Alvida. Luffy defeats Alvida.

   At first dismissive of Monkey D. Luffy, Alvida grew infatuated with the young pirate after experiencing her first defeat at his hands. However, unlike the obsessively protective Boa Hancock, Alvida retains enough distance (and possibly lingering hostility) to allow the Buggy Pirates to kill him,[17] at most expressing slight disappointment.[18]

   Koby She is the prime enemy of Koby, who has not forgotten the years of hard labor and abuse she put him through. He had boldly stated it was pirates like her that he wished to arrest when he declared his rebellious words to her.[19]

   Abilities and Powers Initially, Alvida was only mildly formidable by East Blue standards. Though large and strong enough to captain her own crew and earn a minor bounty, she was quickly outfought and knocked unconscious by Luffy. She successfully landed only one blow, which was rendered completely ineffective by Luffy's rubber body and the angling of the spikes on her mace.[20] Her intellect was also unremarkable and easily overtaken by her temper and vanity.

   Following her defeat by Luffy, she became noticeably more resourceful and judicious. With apparently no extrinsic help, she was able to navigate the East Blue and secure an alliance with Buggy, her coolheaded prudence counterbalancing his easily-excited crewmen.

   Alvida ate the Sube Sube no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that makes her skin smooth and slippery, granting her the ability to make any physical attack harmlessly slide off her body, be it from weapons, hand to hand combat, or even large, heavy chunks of rubble.

   This power also allows her to "skate" along level surfaces on her bare feet, though she apparently requires a ramp to build up initial momentum.[21]

   In addition, this power caused all the body fat to slide off of her, drastically changing her physique, eliminating her previous bulk, and giving her a perfect hourglass figure, making her beautiful enough to charm whole crowds of men on sight.[8] This new physique has apparently not affected any of her physical prowess, as she is still strong enough to wield her iron mace with ease.[22][10]

   Advertisement Weapons Alvida's iron mace, from which her epithet originates. Alvida's iron mace, from which her epithet originates.

   Alvida's trademark weapon is a heavy, spiked iron mace, which can easily maim or kill an ordinary man in one swing. She can also throw it with enough accuracy and force—at least from short distances—to shatter an entire wooden shack.[23]

   Even after becoming slim, Alvida continues to wield the iron mace just as effectively as before, capable of knocking out several marines in a single swing and showing no exertion from the effort.

   In addition to the mace, she also carries at least one flintlock pistol at all times and was skilled enough to drive off a giant crab with one shot.[24]

   Video Game-Only Techniques Iron Bat: Alvida jumps into the air and slams her mace into the ground, creating a shockwave, destroying the ground beneath her, and getting her head briefly stuck in the ground in the process. This is Alvida's Skill 1 in One Piece: Bounty Rush. Iron Ball: Alvida slams her mace into the ground towards the enemy in front of her. This is Alvida's Skill 2 in One Piece: Bounty Rush. History Past Alvida was born 27 years ago in the East Blue.[4] At some point, she formed her own pirate crew and had been terrorizing the East Blue for at least two years when a young boy named Koby accidentally boarded her ship, the Miss Love Duck. Upon discovering him (and his considerable seafaring knowledge), Alvida forced him to be her cabin boy, keeping him cowed with constant threats and physical abuse.[25] On at least one occasion, Alvida used the news that Bartholomew Kuma had become a Warlord of the Sea to force Koby into flattering her own strength.[26]

   East Blue Saga Romance Dawn Arc Alvida ineffectively hits Luffy. Alvida ineffectively hits Luffy.

   Approximately two years after "recruiting" Koby, Alvida crossed paths with the novice pirate Monkey D. Luffy, whom her subordinates had inadvertently saved from a whirlpool. Caring for neither her reputation nor her strength, Luffy openly defied her and her vanity, in the process rekindling Koby's courage and dream to join the Marines.

   Seeing Koby joining Luffy's defiance, Alvida attacked in a rage. To her and Koby's shock, however, Luffy's rubber physique easily withstood her strongest blow head-on. Before she could regain herself, Luffy knocked her unconscious with a Gomu Gomu no Pistol.[27]

   Following her defeat, Alvida began an obsessive search for Luffy, apparently without her crew.[28] During this time, she found and ate the Sube Sube no Mi, a Devil Fruit that gave her slipping abilities and, as an aftereffect, made her slender and beautiful.[8]

   Subsequently, she discovered the shrunken and defeated Buggy, rescuing him from a giant crab.[24] After learning that he too was pursuing Luffy, she entered an alliance with him.[13] Together, they to reunite with the rest of the Buggy Pirates, defeated the Kumate Tribe who were preparing to eat the crew, and reclaimed the missing sections of Buggy's body that had been tied up by Nami.[29]

   The Buggy-Alvida Alliance made its way to Loguetown, anticipating that Luffy's crew—like any East Blue pirates intent on the Grand Line—would pass through.[30] Soon enough, Alvida found Luffy at Gold Roger's execution scaffold, re-introduced herself, and proclaimed her love—much to his confusion, even after recognizing her. While the local police ineffectually tried to fight her and the Buggy Pirates, she challenged Luffy to "prove" himself against her new ally. Caught by surprise, Luffy was easily trapped atop the scaffold, facing execution at Buggy's hands.[31]

   Watching with Buggy's men, Alvida ruefully accepted her "love's" death, only for a sudden lightning bolt to strike down the scaffold, freeing Luffy and leaving every witness stupefied.[32] As the Straw Hats fled Loguetown, she and Buggy tried to give chase, but were easily captured by Smoker and depowered by a seastone net. However, they escaped soon after (possibly by the sudden tempest that saved Luffy from the same fate), and resolved to keep pursuing Luffy into the Grand Line.[33]

After convincing the rest of the crew that attempting to rescue Buggy would prove futile, the crew members called out apologies to their imprisoned captain and sailed away.[15] It is unknown if the crew acknowledged Alvida as their new captain, but they did respect her judgment and looked to her for orders.

She commented on how many prisoners she recognized from their wanted posters. Buggy then showed Alvida the recently acquired treasure mark of Captain John, which left Alvida stunned and wondering how he got it.[16]

In the Loguetown Arc he wears a pink helmet with bunny ears sticking out. When the group makes it into the Grand Line, during the Jaya Arc his hair is shaped like a lion's mane. In the Impel Down Arc, his hairstyle causes him to resemble a ram, somewhat similar to Merry.

   Advertisement Personality Mohji is quite pompous and, at times, silly. He has also displayed a strong rivalry with Cabaji, Buggy's second mate, during the Buggy's Crew Adventure Chronicles. He tends to treat Richie better than most other people and adores the big lion. He even takes it offensively when Richie is used as a shield by Cabaji against Luffy, Zoro and Nami.[8]He is also prone to set fire to his enemies' possessions.[9]

   Relationships Crew Richie Mohji has great affection for his pet lion, Richie, as he was greatly shocked when he was beaten by Luffy and became very angry when Cabaji used him like a shield. In turn, Richie is loyal to Mohji and will come when his master calls.

   Buggy Mohji shows respect and loyalty for his captain, Buggy, and also shows great appreciation for him, such as when he cried in sadness when he thought Buggy was dead or when he was taken to Impel Down, or also great joy when he returned after the Marineford war.

He has yet to prove his ability in the series outside of his pet, a lion named Richie (who seems to have an emphatic link with him). Mohji usually opts to use him in battle rather than fight himself. He is, however, fast and agile, and very skilled with a whip.

   Special Sideshow: He swings his whip around his opponent's waist before making them spin around by tugging on the whip. This was shown in his fight against Cabaji.[11] History East Blue Saga Orange Town Arc Luffy defeats Mohji. Luffy defeats Mohji.

   In his first appearance, Mohji was sent by Buggy to capture Roronoa Zoro. Upon encountering Luffy, he became overzealous and ordered Richie to attack him in the iron cage. The cage was easily smashed and Luffy was smacked through a building. However, Luffy was uninjured due to his rubber man status.[12] Upon seeing Chouchou stand up against the lion to protect his treasure, the pet store Mohji burned down, Luffy challenged Mohji and Richie to a duel. He used his Gomu Gomu no Hammer to spin Richie around and slam him into the ground and knocked him out. Mohji escaped, without his loyal guardian.[13] Upon returning to Buggy, he barely had enough time to warn him about Luffy being a Devil Fruit user before Luffy and his crew arrived to challenge Buggy.[14]

   Buggy's Crew Adventure Chronicles After Buggy's defeat, Mohji and Cabaji fought over leadership of the group.[15] They were equally matched, and fought for several hours.[16] The battle ended when a sleep-walking Richie knocked them both unconscious,[17] taking over leadership himself.[18] However, Richie and the pirates were kidnapped by a cannibalistic group, the Kumate Tribe.[19] They were saved by Buggy, Alvida, Mohji, and Cabaji.[20]

Usopp found him and Richie. Before Mohji could do anything, he slipped and bump his head on the ship's hull, getting knocked out. After the Straw Hat pirates escaped, he reunited with his crew.[22]

   Sky Island Saga Jaya Arc Much later, Mohji reappeared with the group as they travel in the Grand Line. He is seen wandering in a cave with Buggy and Cabaji, Buggy believing it to hold the treasure of Captain John, only to find a crew of diggers working in it.

Later, when the Tightrope Walking Funan Bros began crying because they were moved by Buggy's supposed words of encouragement for Luffy, Mohji and Cabaji noticed that something was up and that Buggy was only thinking about himself. However, when the whole crew began cheering Buggy's name, Mohji told Cabaji that they should just go with the flow, and so they then joined the crew in cheering. However, when Gairam began attacking again, the crew made a run for it while Mr. 3 fended off the attack. Mohji stood in surprise when Buggy was turned into a cube by Gairam. When Buggy told Mr. 3 that he still had a surprise attack that could destroy a town, Mohji and Cabaji asked if it was the Buggy Ball, only to be scolded by Buggy for revealing too much. Buggy then used the Muggy Ball which created a smoke cloud which allowed Hancock to attack Gairam. Upon the smoke clearing up, the crew saw Gairam defeated and believed that Buggy had been the one to do so; however, Cabaji and Mohji had their doubts. But instead of questioning them, the two thought it would be best to go with the flow again and joined in on the cheering.

   The crew then made it outside the enemy ship and saw a fleet of Marine ships approaching. The Marines began firing and as such, Cabaji and the rest of the crew escaped back to their ship.

    Appearance Richie is a large lion that shows a fierce expression during fights and confrontations. However, he can also show a goofy face when he is not doing anything.

    In the anime, his eye colors can sometimes change from white sclerae to scarlet red sclerae, or vice versa, depending on the animators. His eyes are usually white when he is in a comical or friendly mood, but red when he is in a vicious or enraged mood.

    He has golden brown fur and a pink mane in the manga. In the anime, his fur is green and his mane is purple.

    After the timeskip, he has gotten fatter, and wears a one-piece garment with white and orange rhombuses, and a white frill collar.[7]

Mohji and Richie Grand World Richie in Mohji's wanted poster in One Piece Grand World. Richie Dream Pointer Richie in One Piece: Dream Pointer. Personality Despite his size and fierce look, Richie mostly acts like a kitten, having his own goofy moments when doing nothing. Richie is intelligent enough to adopt human-like mannerisms, but is otherwise not very bright and most of the time thinks only about food.[8] Sometimes, his own crewmates will mistake his melodramatic longings for food as though he felt moved by a sad or touching moment if such has just taken place.

    Advertisement Abilities and Powers Being a large lion, Richie can fight by biting and mauling his victims. He is fairly strong, having enough biting force to destroy a thick iron cage that not even Roronoa Zoro thought he could cut down and being capable of knocking Monkey D. Luffy away through a wooden building with a single swipe of his paw.[9]

    However, being a wild and irrational beast and not very intelligent, Richie can easily be overpowered by opponents stronger and faster than him, as Luffy easily overpowered him by spinning him around. His gluttony is also a problem, as Richie can often be distracted from his goal if he is very hungry, as Usopp managed to distract him with his Tamago Boshi, which caused Richie to instantly calm down and start licking the egg.

    History East Blue Saga Orange Town Arc As Buggy invaded Orange Town, Richie and Mohji beat up Chouchou the dog.[9] They were then defeated by Luffy and knocked unconscious.[10] When they finally came round, they once again get caught up with Luffy resulting in Richie being used as a shield by Cabaji.[11]

    Buggy's Crew Adventure Chronicles Richie became captain of the crew. Richie became captain of the crew.

    Richie was seen fleeing along with Mohji and Cabaji from the citizens of Orange town. During the fight between Cabaji and Mohji over who should be captain, Richie fell asleep and dreamed about being captain himself and fighting a dragon. He beat up Cabaji and Mohji (who had both been weakened from fighting each other) while sleep walking[12] and was declared the new captain.[3]

    However, he and the rest of the Buggy pirates got captured by the Kumate Tribe.[13] Luckily, Buggy and Alvida managed to save them by defeating the cannibalistic crew.[14]

    Loguetown Arc Richie and Mohji later participated in the attack on Loguetown. It was their job to burn down the Straw Hat's ship,[15] which they failed to do as soon as it started to rain. Usopp found them and before Mohji could do anything, he slipped and bumped his head on the ship's hull, getting knocked out. After the Straw Hat Pirates escaped, they reunited with their crew.[16]

    Advertisement Sky Island Saga Jaya Arc Richie was later seen in the background (picking his nose) when Ace hopped on board Buggy's ship. Ace also asked Richie to jump through a hoop of fire.[17]

    Summit War Saga Impel Down Arc Richie's appeared again when the Buggy and Alvida Alliance attempted to save Buggy from Impel Down, even having bought an Eternal Pose that worth quite much. While Buggy's crew was at first desperate to save their captain, Alvida explained about the dangers surrounding their decision and so they gave up and decided to follow Alvida. Among all of this, Richie was comically shown to only think of food and nothing else.[8]

Coincidentally, they happened to come upon the World Pirates' ship and saw that Luffy and Boa Hancock were fighting with Sebastian. Richie then followed the rest of the crew as they boarded the enemy ship. On board the ship, they watched as Byrnndi World defeated Luffy and then went to help revive him.

    Later, they encountered Gairam who attacked them with his Devil Fruit powers. During the attack, while the rest of the crew were cheering on Buggy for his supposed words of encouragement to Luffy, Richie thought about ice cream. Then while the crew continued cheering and while Buggy was thinking about the Impel Down escapees' bounties being higher than his, Richie changed to thinking about curry on rice and then a melon. However, when Gairam began attacking again, the crew made a run for it while Mr. 3 fended off the attack. Eventually, however, Gairam is defeated by Hancock and the crew escaped outside the ship.

    Outside, they saw a fleet of Marine ships approaching, which then began to fire on the World Pirates' ship. Buggy and his crew then make their withdrawal back to their own ship.

    Keys: Cabaji

    Cabaji the Acrobat[6] is the Buggy Pirates chief of staff, [3] as well as an acrobat swordsman. He was a member of Buggy's Delivery, and is currently a member of Cross Guild.

    Due to his actions, he can be considered the tertiary antagonist of the Orange Town Arc, and a minor antagonist in the Loguetown Arc.

    The video player is currently playing an ad. Appearance Cabaji is a tall slender man with a unique hairstyle that covers half of his face. In the manga, his hair appears black. However, in the anime his hair is light green where it is shaved and dark green where it is longer. He is usually seen wearing a large blue and white checkered scarf that covers the lower portion of his face, a sleeveless brown coat (purple in the anime) reaching down to his knees, white pants larger near the end and held up by a white sash (light blue in the anime), and white shoes. His hair is particularly interesting in its design, long on one side and a parallel shaved design on the other.

    During the Zou Arc, he is shown wearing a white top hat.

Personality Cabaji is always serious, mysterious, and elegant. He is a proficient acrobatic fighter as well as somewhat formidable as an opponent. He appears to be concerned for his captain, along with Mohji. He is usually by Buggy's side, unlike Mohji, who is ordered to do other things. Cabaji does not seem to care for Mohji's pet lion, Richie, at all, and even used it as a shield from the Buggy Ball just to prevent himself from getting dirty.[7] Despite these traits Cabaji has immense loyalty for Buggy, grieving after his captain when he and Mohji perceived him to be dead and was overjoyed when he later returned to them with Alvida.[8][9] Though two years later it appeared Cabaji had grown colder as he brushed off Buggy's impending death at Crocodile's hands due to his mistaken leadership of Cross Guild, merely suggesting to the others that they had no choice but to follow Crocodile as their new leader.[10]

    Advertisement Relationships Buggy Pirates Cabaji shows respect and loyalty for his captain, Buggy, and also shows great appreciation for him, such as when he cried in sadness when he thought Buggy was dead or when he was taken to Impel Down, or also great joy when he returned after the Marineford war.

    He has a constant rivalry with Mohji, both wanting to show who is the best in the crew. When Alvida took over the crew after Buggy was arrested, he showed fear towards her.

    After Buggy was beaten up by Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk for accidentally taking leadership of Cross Guild, Cabaji, alongside the rest of the administration, nonchalantly agreed to follow Crocodile while brushing off their chairman's impending death as they continued to party.[10]

    Straw Hat Pirates After Zoro beat him, like the rest of the crew, he has a grudge over the Straw Hat Pirates after being defeated by them.

    Abilities and Powers As the staff superior of the Buggy Pirates and Buggy's Delivery, Cabaji has authority over the lower-ranking subordinates. His position seems to be the same as Mohji's.

    Physical Abilities Cabaji has significant physical strength, shown when he was able to lift Richie with one arm and send Mohji flying with a single kick.

    Carnival Tricks Main article: Carnival Tricks Cabaji's primary fighting style, known as Carnival Tricks, combines swordplay and acrobatics to distract and take advantage of his opponents. It incorporates a variety of circus props and feats, including Cabaji's signature unicycle and tops, sword swallowing, and fire breathing.[11]

    Advertisement Weapons Along with his acrobatic skills, which he uses to glide to enormous heights on his unicycle, he has displayed a fondness for using both daggers and a sword during his fights, not unlike his captain. He also uses razor-sharp spinning tops and has a flame breath. He can also swallow swords with ease, as witnessed when he pulls out a sword from his mouth when the town mayor comes to challenge Buggy. Also, if necessary, in Chibi Buggy Pirate Adventure, he has shown to be fairly skilled in hand to hand combat after his sword was broken.

    History East Blue Saga Orange Town Arc Cabaji kicking Zoro's stab wound. Cabaji kicking Zoro's stab wound.

    Cabaji is at Buggy's side when he first appears.[1] When Boodle appeared before them and challenged Buggy, Cabaji wanted to slice him up, but Buggy told him to stand down, since the mayor had challenged Buggy.[12] However, after Luffy successfully bounced back a Buggy Ball and destroyed much of Buggy's crew, Cabaji was forced to use Richie the lion as a shield in order to survive the ricocheted cannonball's effects. He then jumped back into the fray to execute Luffy, but was halted by Zoro, who challenged him to a duel.

    He proceeded to fight with Zoro and played dirty by striking Zoro's wounds whenever he had the chance. He also created flames through his breath and breathed directly into Zoro's face.[13] However, once Cabaji was knocked off his unicycle, he became angered and attacked with a slew of spinning tops and more deadly acrobatic maneuvers. Buggy tried to help him by sending his arm to help hold Zoro in place for Cabaji's strike, but Luffy did not allow Buggy to interfere in Zoro's duel. Zoro then took his own sword and slit his own side to ensure that he can battle Cabaji even when he was greatly injured. Cabaji recognized Zoro's honor and thought of this as the perfect opportunity to take him down.

    Zoro declared that if he cannot topple all men who call themselves swordsmen, such as Cabaji, then he should give up his own dream to become the greatest swordsman. Cabaji was defeated by Zoro's Oni Giri which cut open his chest. After Cabaji fell to the ground, Zoro also fell, claiming that he needed a rest after the grueling struggle. As he fell to the ground, Cabaji is stunned that he, along with Buggy's deadly crew were all defeated by "common thieves". Zoro responded by saying they are not common thieves; they are pirates.[14]

    After Buggy was defeated by Luffy, Cabaji and the rest of the crew fled from Orange Town[15] and then mourned the loss of their captain.[16] Cabaji and Mohji fought for the title of the next captain[17] but were both knocked out by a sleepwalking Richie,[18] who gained the title[19] (though lost it just as quick). After Buggy resurfaced, Cabaji returned to his former position.[20] Despite their frequent bickering, Cabaji and Mohji team up to defeat the Kumate Tribe and rescue the other crew members.[21]

    Loguetown Arc During the Loguetown attack, Cabaji accompanied Buggy and Alvida to fight against the Straw Hat Pirates and the Marines. Cabaji quickly pinned down Luffy right on top of the execution stand where Gold Roger had been killed. He sat on top of and taunted Luffy, asking him where Zoro is. However, despite wanting to have a rematch with Zoro, this duel did not happen. He and Alvida are seen together and watching as Buggy was about to slice off Luffy's head.[22] In that instant, as Nami had predicted, the stormy weather electrocuted Buggy through his sword and he was fried along with the execution stand.[23]

    Sky Island Saga Jaya Arc Cabaji celebrated alongside the rest of the crew when Portgas D. Ace joined their party. They then partied together.[24]

    Summit War Saga Impel Down Arc Cabaji is seen again with Alvida and the rest of Buggy's pirates, pleading with Alvida to go to Impel Down to rescue Buggy. However, he and the rest of the crew eventually decided to proceed on while honoring Buggy's death after Alvida told them to rescue Buggy by themselves, and noted they will die trying.[25]
