   Gol D. Roger and his crew share a chaotic, fun-loving personality defined by reckless impulses, intense loyalty, and a dynamic heavily mirrored by Luffy’s modern Straw Hat crew.Captain's Recklessness and Crew's PanicGol D. Roger acts much like an overgrown kid: he is wildly impulsive, stubborn, and quick to anger or laugh.Charging into battles: Roger routinely wants to fight massive fleets or rivals just for the thrill, forcing level-headed crewmates like Scopper Gaban to act as exasperated babysitters.Easily provoked: Roger takes petty offense to being lectured or told to run, often bickering like a child with his own officers.Apprentice Dynamic and BickeringShanks and Buggy's constant fights: As cabin boys, Shanks and Buggy bickered over completely trivial things (like which pole is colder or whether sea treasures are real), mirroring Usopp and Chopper.Roger and Rayleigh's exasperation: Rayleigh constantly has to clean up after Roger's dramatic choices, yet follows him with absolute devotion.The Infamous "Temper and Tears"Unpredictable mood swings: Roger can go from weeping uncontrollably at a touching story or a good sake cup to laughing in the face of death.Childish stubbornness: Whenever Roger sets his mind on a weird whim or a dangerous detour, the entire crew sighs in unison knowing they have no choice

   The Oro Jackson is the legendary flagship of the Roger Pirates, built by the master shipwright Tom in Water 7. It is the only ship in history to reach Laugh Tale, the final island of the Grand Line, cementing Gol D. Roger as the Pirate King.Design and MaterialsBuilt from the rare, virtually indestructible Adam Wood—the same premium timber used for the Straw Hats' Thousand Sunny—the ship was designed to withstand the harshest seas. The Oro Jackson featured three masts, a pair of golden mermaids holding a forward-facing cannon as its figurehead, and a massive, polka-dotted egg resting at its center.

   The Oro Jackson was the ship built by Tom for Gol D. Roger and the Roger Pirates.[1] It is the only known ship that has sailed to the end of the Grand Line.

The figurehead of the ship appears to be a pair of mermaids alongside a forward-facing cannon. The ship had three masts, with red sails and the Roger Pirates Jolly Roger on the front sail, with the name of their captain "GOL D. ROGER" written on it in light colored letters on the sail below, while the top front sail had a another Jolly Roger on it.[2] The sails also have a vertical stripe design.

   Advertisement History At some point following the formation of the Roger Pirates, the ship was built by Tom at Water 7 in Paradise for the pirate crew, and was sailed from there. 44 years ago, the ship was carrying a large polka-dotted egg.[5]

   The ship was later used by the Roger Pirates to sail to God Valley in the West Blue, leading to the crew docking at the island 38 years ago.[6]

   In an unspecific Blue Sea region, the ship was involved in the Edd War against Shiki and his fleet of ships. The ship's crew were able to defeat Shiki's fleet and left apparently undamaged.

   The Oro Jackson eventually reached Laugh Tale in the New World, becoming the only ship known to do so since the Void Century. Following Roger deciding to disband his crew, Roger disembarked the ship at an unknown location. At the time, the large polka-dotted egg the ship was carrying for decades remained onboard and was the final time it was seen. Some time later, the ship navigated the currents around Wano Country in order to return Kouzuki Oden to his home country.[7] This was the last time the ship was seen, and is currently unknown what became of it.

   Legacy While by normal standards, a shipwright who built a pirate ship will not be charged of any crimes as they have no control over the sailors of the ship, Tom was made a special case for building the Oro Jackson, as the client was Roger. Tom was ultimately sentenced to death, though he did proudly proclaim he built the ship, showing neither regret nor denial.[1]

   Franky, one of Tom's protégés, dreamed of creating a ship that would surpass the Oro Jackson. Although his dream had been shattered when Tom was executed, it was revitalized upon meeting the Straw Hat Pirates and with the creation of the Thousand Sunny, also built from Adam tree wood. The Thousand Sunny has yet to achieve Franky's dream, though he joined the crew and serves as the shipwright.

Roger Main Ship: Oro Jackson Total Bounty: Over Beli Small5,564,800,000[bounty 1] The Roger Pirates were the pirate crew of the late Pirate King, Gol D. Roger. They were, and remain, the only known crew to traverse the entirety of the Grand Line and reach its final island Laugh Tale.

   Active for nearly three decades, the Roger Pirates became legendary for their feats, impacting lands from Skypiea to Wano Country and maintaining rivalries with the likes of Marine Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp,[2] Edward Newgate's Whitebeard Pirates,[3] and even their lesser known rivarly with Newgate's previous crew, led by Roger's first rival, Rocks D. Xebec.

   Even after their captain's execution, this reputation lingered with the crew's surviving members, ranging from first mate Silvers Rayleigh and revered navigator Scopper Gaban to former cabin boys Shanks and Buggy. The first introduction to their crew comes from Buggy, who recalls his days with Shanks as apprentices in their crew.[1] Their captain, Roger, is the first character introduced in the series.[4]

   As their captain was known as the "Pirate King", they were one of the strongest crews of their time, as well as one of the most powerful crews in history. As evidenced by the fact that they were, and continue to be to this day, the first and only known pirate crew to conquer the Grand Line and reach the final island, Laugh Tale, by finding all four Road Poneglyphs. They were able to understand the Poneglyphs after recruiting Kouzuki Oden, and the members of the crew became part of the very few people to discover the true history of the world, the events of the Void Century, and the meaning of the initial D.[8] Because of their abilities and accomplishments, Roger was given the highest known bounty in history by the World Government,[9] with other members of the crew also becoming heavily wanted men whose bounties are still active even though a quarter of a century has passed since the dissolution of the crew.[10]

   In addition to their great accomplishments, the Roger Pirates were immensely powerful in battle. This was best shown when they fought the Whitebeard Pirates, another immensely powerful crew, to a draw for four days. Roger, despite being plagued by his terminal illness, clashed evenly with Whitebeard, who was reputed as the "Strongest Man in the World" and was in his prime.[11] Right before battling the Whitebeard Pirates, the Roger Pirates had easily defeated a battalion of Marines, with Roger saying they should have brought Admiral Sengoku or Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp if they wanted to make it fun.[12] The Roger Pirates also clashed against the powerful Golden Lion Pirates in the Battle of Edd War; despite commanding only the Oro Jackson against the Golden Lion Pirates' massive fleet, the Roger Pirates fought to a draw with the help of a storm and caused significant damage to the fleet.[13] So far, only three men are considered to have been formidable rivals to Roger: Whitebeard,[14] Garp,[15] and the legendary pirate Rocks D. Xebec.[16] Among their most impressive yet unmentioned feats were how the crew managed to continuously fight off and defeat the immortal Knights of God who attempted, yet failed, to take Shanks back for their then captain, Figarland Garling.[17]

   Some of the members have displayed impressive mastery over their Haki. Roger, Rayleigh, Gaban, and Oden possess tremendous mastery over all three types of Haki.[11][18] According to Kaidou, Roger's mastery of Haki is what allowed him to conquer the sea despite not being a Devil Fruit user.

   Even after being retired from piracy for 23 years, some of them have been shown to still be immensely powerful in their old age. Some characters have chosen to back off rather than risk fighting one of them, including high-ranking Marines[19] and an Emperor like Blackbeard.[20] The former first mate Rayleigh was able to clash evenly with Marine Admiral and Logia user Kizaru;[21] Kizaru stated that the Marines would need to make more preparations than just sending him, some Pacifista, and a Marine battalion to capture the Dark King.[10] Furthermore, Rayleigh's reputation alone was enough to force Blackbeard, an Emperor who possesses the powers of two Devil Fruits, both incredibly powerful and dangerous, to retreat. Gaban, who was called the Left Arm of the Pirate King could pose a serious challenge to one of the Four Emperors, Monkey D. Luffy, without appearing to get serious himself.[22] Gaban was also able to defeat a member of the Knights of God, Shepherd Sommers, quickly and without suffering injuries. In addition to being able to read the Poneglyphs, Kouzuki Oden was an extremely powerful samurai who was the first person to seriously injure the powerful pirate Kaidou, who would go on to become known as the world's "Strongest Creature".[23]

   The former apprentice Shanks went on to become a tremendously powerful and infamous pirate after the crew's disbandment. He is extremely skilled at using all three types of Haki and is one of the strongest swordsmen in the world. He would later become recognized as one of the Four Emperors, the four most powerful pirate captains.[16] Notably, the only member of the Roger Pirates known to have consumed a Devil Fruit is Buggy, an apprentice who was one of the weakest members of the crew.[24] Although he is still not a powerful pirate compared to others in the Grand Line, Buggy has been able to garner significant attention and respect just by being part of the Roger Pirates;[25] this enabled him to recruit hundreds of dangerous Impel Down escapees to his crew and receive an invitation to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea.[26] Later, Buggy too would become one of the Four Emperors.[27] However, this is largely due to the many misconceptions made by the Marines.

   Oro Jackson Further information: Oro Jackson The Oro Jackson. The Oro Jackson.

   The Roger Pirates' ship, the Oro Jackson, was constructed by the most skilled shipwright of the era, Tom. It was built from wood taken from the Treasure Tree Adam, which is valued at about Beli200,000,000. When fighting Shiki, the ship had a large cannon in the front surrounded by a pair of mermaids. This cannon was powerful enough to destroy an entire ship.

   The construction of this ship led Tom to be branded a criminal, since the ship was affiliated with the Pirate King.

   History Roger and Rayleigh meeting for the first time. Roger and Rayleigh meeting for the first time.

   The Roger Pirates were formed over 52 years ago when a young Gol D. Roger asked Silvers Rayleigh to join him.[29][30] The Roger Pirates began sailing the Grand Line, and 44 years ago they were already famous and had squabbles with the Kuja Pirates in order to get their First Mate Shakuyaku to join their crew. One day while leading an attack on the Kuja Pirates for the same objective, Roger and his left-hand man Scopper Gaban were lovestruck by Shakuyaku and were easily subdued along with most of the crew barring Rayleigh. While the Kuja attempted to make off with their treasure, the Marine Monkey D. Garp appeared and attacked. Roger rallied his crew, and proceeded to clash with Garp, eventually escaping afterward.[31]

   40 years ago, the Roger Pirates sans Rayleigh traveled to Hachinosu and easily wiped out every pirate in line to Shakky's Rip-off Bar, forcing their way inside. While the Rocks Pirates stationed in the bar remained amicable with the crew, Shakky approached Roger asking for Rayleigh's whereabouts. Roger revealed that Rayleigh had remained on the ship, causing Shakky great disappointment. Afterward, Roger called out for Newgate with intentions to drink with him, but Linlin revealed that he had already left.[32] Within the same year, the crew learned that Shakky was abducted and grew furious.[33] One year later, the Roger Pirates reached Lodestar Island, the last island that the Log Pose pointed to, only to learn that it was actually not the last island.[34]

   The Roger Pirates arrive on God Valley. The Roger Pirates arrive on God Valley.

   38 years ago, when they learned that Shakky had been captured as a potential prize for the Native Hunting Competition on God Valley, they promptly set out to rescue her.[35] Each member of the crew was determined to save Shakky, with Roger at the forefront, proudly proclaiming he would save Shakky singlehandedly only to be run over by his crew. As they got closer in on the island center, the Roger Pirates met heavy resistance by the Marines stationed there, as well as the Rocks Pirates who had come for Shakky as well. The Roger Pirates then found themselves in multiple fights, including Roger briefly clashing with Whitebeard, only to make room for Rayleigh to go save Shakky. As Rayleigh defeated Shepherd Sommers, who was about to kill Shakky, Rayleigh carried Shakky away from the ongoing fighting while the Roger Pirates cleared the path for both of them to escape safely. Roger then switched their goals from saving Shakky to plundering everything and taking all the treasure they could find.

   The Roger Pirates found a hoard of treasure and Devil Fruits in the Second Treasury Depot and successfully fought off the Rocks Pirates who had come for it too. Roger, however, suddenly felt a great presence descending on God Valley and decided to head further into the main part of the island while his crew was ordered to get everything to the Oro Jackson.[36] Before returning to his crew, Roger worked together with Garp to fight against the demonized Rocks.[37] After the battle, Rayleigh carried the exhausted Roger back to their ship, while Gaban returned Garp to the Marines.

   The crew later discovered a 1-year-old Shanks inside a treasure chest they had looted from God Valley. They decided to keep the child, allowing him to serve as a Pirate Apprentice.[38] This action would not be without consequence, however. Once the Knights of God became aware of Shanks' presence among the crew, they attempted multiple times to steal the boy back, but were thwarted each time.[17]

   After stealing the message of Charlotte Linlin's Road Poneglyph, Roger learned that there was an island beyond Lodestar.[39][40] At some point, Roger was gravely wounded and needed to heal from his injuries at a hospital in the mountains. When a hundred enemies came to ambush him, Gaban fought them all off and cut down every tree on the mountain, which earned him the epithet "Mountain-Eater".[41]

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

   At another point, they defeated the Naguri Pirates, sparing the crew and their captain Naguri's lives.[43]

   At some point 30 years ago, a 15 year old Douglas Bullet challenged Roger and lost. He continued to challenge him multiple times and eventually joined the crew in order to continue challenging him. Despite his admiration for Roger and his growing fondness for the crew, two years later he learns about Roger's fatal illness. After learning this, he begins to doubt whether he'll have any more opportunities to succeed Roger. Deciding to abandon his attachment to the crew, he challenges Roger one final time, and loses. After this, Bullet left the crew.[44]

   30 years ago, Roger, Shanks, and Buggy read news of the samurai Kouzuki Oden from Wano Country joining the Whitebeard Pirates, where Roger expressed interest in meeting him.[45] Two years later, Roger discovered that he had an incurable and fatal disease and decided to lead his crew on a final voyage across the Grand Line. He recruited Crocus from Reverse Mountain to keep him alive as long as possible.[46] At some point, the Roger Pirates raided an enemy ship and obtained a Devil Fruit called the Bara Bara no Mi, in which Buggy would accidentally eat and gain its powers.[1] 27 years ago, the Roger Pirates fought the Golden Lion Pirates in the Battle of Edd War; the battle was declared a draw with the Golden Lion Pirates taking significant damage.[13] At some point, the Roger Pirates travelled to Little Garden and met Dorry and Brogy.[47]

   One year after that on a island, the Roger Pirates crossed paths with the Whitebeard Pirates and battled them for four days. After the battle, Roger asked Whitebeard to allow Oden to join his crew, as Oden was a member of the Kouzuki Family who could read the Poneglyphs and so could help them get to the final island. Whitebeard reluctantly agreed as Oden himself had wished to join Roger, and Oden and his family joined the Roger Pirates as well as Oden's retainers Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, who came on as stowaways.

   After adventuring in Skypiea,[48] the Roger Pirates headed to Fish-Man Island, where they found the second Road Poneglyph. Oden, Inuarashi, and Nekomamushi revealed that the final two Road Poneglyphs were in their home countries of Wano and Zou, and the Roger Pirates successfully found them there. Inuarashi, Nekomamushi, and Oden's family were left behind on Wano due to Oden's wife Kouzuki Toki falling ill, but Oden continued sailing with the crew. At some unspecified point, the Roger Pirates got into a conflict with the Maelstrom Spider Pirates, leading Roger to kill the entire crew except the captain.[49]

   Roger departs from the crew. Roger departs from the crew.

   25 years ago, the Roger Pirates charted the location of the final island using the Road Poneglyphs and made landfall there, with Shanks and Buggy staying behind on another island due to the latter falling ill. On the final island, they found a treasure left behind 800 years ago, by Joy Boy and learned the truth behind the Void Century, Ancient Weapons, and the meaning of the D. Roger decided to name the final island Laugh Tale.[8] After returning from Laugh Tale, Roger disbanded the crew and set off on his own. The crew then took Oden back to Wano, where he intended to open the country's borders to start the new era that Joy Boy wanted, and eventually the rest of the crew went their separate ways.[50]

   Advertisement Legacy After the Roger Pirates disbanded, their captain turned himself in to the Marines, and they chose to execute him in his birthplace of Loguetown 24 years ago.[46] But right before his death, Roger shouted out his famous final words to all the attends present, stating that his legendary treasure will be theirs if they find it, thus beginning the Great Pirate Era. Because of their connection to Roger, all the former members of the Roger Pirates were hunted down relentlessly by the World Government.

   Roger's former apprentices, Shanks and Buggy were present at his execution, and afterwards they split up to form their own crews, the Red Hair Pirates and the Buggy Pirates respectively.[13] 12 years after Roger's death, Shanks would end up inspiring a young boy named Monkey D. Luffy to become an infamous pirate. 6 years later, Shanks would become recognized as one of the Four Emperors.[16] Buggy and his crew were active in the East Blue until two years ago, when they entered the Grand Line and Buggy became one of the Seven Warlord of the Sea due in large part to his history with Roger.[26] After the system's dissolution, Buggy would then become one of the Four Emperors alongside Shanks (in truth, he is currently serving under Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk, who are using him as a figurehead).

   Rayleigh retired from piracy and currently works as a ship coater on the Sabaody Archipelago, though goes on frequent excursions.[51] Crocus returned to Reverse Mountain to take care of Laboon.[46] Oden returned to Wano to assume his role as shogun and open the country's borders, but was killed five years after the crew's disbandment, as he was met with opposition from Wano's false shogun, Kurozumi Orochi, and the Emperor Kaidou.[52] His wife, Toki met her end on that day as well, but not before ensuring the escape and safety of her children alongside Oden's retainers.[53] Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, both retainers of Oden, returned to Zou and ruled over the Mokomo Dukedom together, while patiently planning to avenge him alongside his other retainers in a 20 year long plan to free Wano from the rule of Orochi and Kaidou, which ultimately succeeded during the Raid on Onigashima.[54] Gaban retired from piracy and traveled to Elbaph, where he met Ripley and had a son.[55] The whereabouts and statuses of the other Roger Pirates are unknown. The bounties for the crew are still active, with the World Government being unwilling to lift them before the members die.[10]

   Trivia The Jolly Roger seen in Buggy's flashback. The Jolly Roger seen in Buggy's flashback.

   The Roger Pirates had a theme of its senior members having names based off of precious metals: Gol D. Roger's name is based on gold, Silvers Rayleigh's is based on silver, and Scopper Gaban's is based on copper. Gaban is likely named after copper instead of bronze due to how the third-place bronze medal is referred to in Japanese, as the copper medal (銅メダル, dō medaru?) instead of the bronze medal (青銅メダル, seidō medaru?). The first time the Roger Pirates' Jolly Roger is introduced is in Chapter 19, which depicts it different from later appearances. In its initial depiction, it is a simple skull with crossbones. Interestingly, it is shown in Chapter 1156 that the crew's Jolly Roger had the mustache even before Roger grew it on himself. When asked about this discrepancy in the SBS Volume 114, Oda joked that the skull's mustache was in fact just udon noodles. The Roger Pirates had at least five Supreme King Haki users, the most of any pirate crew to date. Douglas Bullet, who was a non-canon member of the crew, also possesses this ability. Despite being a veteran pirate crew and having clashed with powerful Devil Fruit users like the Whitebeard Pirates, the crew was skeptical about Devil Fruits during Buggy's flashback. During the God Valley Incident, which is set years before Buggy's flashback, members of the Roger Pirates would even directly identify a Devil Fruit among the treasures they found.[56] Two former members of the crew, Shanks and Buggy, would later go on to become part of the Four Emperors. This makes the crew one of two to hold multiple future Emperors, the other being the Rocks Pirates, which had three future Emperors in its ranks.

   Roger Wanted Poster Live Action Roger's wanted poster in the live-action series. Personality “ Even in front of a huge enemy army that he had no chance of winning against, Roger stood tall and would not run. ” — Monkey D. Garp about Gol D. Roger[15]

   Roger was said to be fearless, and those who witnessed his execution even claim that he smiled just before his death.[16] In every appearance, Roger has been seen with a confident smile.

   His personality is often noted by people who knew him to have been similar to that of Monkey D. Luffy.[17][18] This is best shown when he meets Rayleigh and asks him to join him, despite having no idea how strong he was or even what role he would have on his ship.[10] Portgas D. Ace revealed his lineage to Whitebeard, who noted that Ace's personality was not much like his father's.[19] However, they both shared a refusal to run from battle. Monkey D. Garp stated that Roger would not run away from an enemy in order to protect his crew from danger.[15] They both also shared the common traits associated with the Will of D.

   Roger was also a man who loved big, flashy things and reveled in his title of Pirate King despite his oncoming death.[20] While not portrayed during any of his appearances, he could be a merciless enemy when he got angry.[21] This was further evidenced when he killed all of Squard's crew members personally for unknown reasons.[22]

   Roger runs happily towards enemies to fight. Roger runs happily towards enemies to fight.

   Roger was very quick to anger, and he would retaliate for something as simple as an insult to his crew, regardless of how small it might be. Garp stated that an angry Roger could be a violent, selfish, and short-tempered man, but his actions had been pure and straight, just like a child's, and that he was lucky to survive and become the Pirate King despite his extremely reckless nature.[21] This headstrongness would be seen when he would argue against the risks and warnings of his crewmate Scopper Gaban and fight with him about it.[23] Roger also had a side to him that mocked his enemies, as after defeating a group of Marines, he told them to bring Garp or Sengoku while telling the Marines he just defeated that they were not worth his time.[24] He would get excited when he got the opportunity to face strong enemies, charging straight ahead past Rayleigh and Gaban to face Kouzuki Oden himself. When he clashed with Whitebeard for the first time in a while, he reacted with glee and casually greeted his old rival.

   Despite his prideful and aggressive nature, Roger was a considerably humble man, as he bowed to Whitebeard and Oden when requesting the samurai to join his crew and offered all the treasure and supplies his crew obtained to Whitebeard in exchange for Oden's service. He was also more than happy to tell others of his dreams and would socialize with his rivals with great enthusiasm. In addition, he was considerate towards civilians and forbade his crew from stealing from them.[25]

   He also had a soft spot for children, as he was seen happily cradling Kouzuki Hiyori when she was a baby. He was even gentle towards children of other races, such as with the mermaid Shyarly when he innocently asked her for some predictions with a gentle smile, and with the mink Pedro when Roger encouraged him to wait for his own moment one day. He also believed a newborn child should not be responsible for the sins of their parents, as he asked Garp to protect his unborn child because he did not want his child to be killed for being related to him.

   In his youth, Roger has shown a very perverted side with a weakness for beautiful women, as he and his crew tried to abduct Shakuyaku to force her to join his crew and was so overwhelmed by her charm he became powerless to fight her. His infatuation with her went so far that he sulked when he found out Shakuyaku left a note for Rayleigh instead of him and that he solely went to God Valley just to get her back. Upon landing, his infatuation took over, and he wanted to save Shakuyaku all by himself, stating his crew could not do what he could, but his perverted side then hit back at him when he was stomped over by his crew and apologized to them for running in solo.

   Similar to other older men, Roger has a distinct style of laugh: "Wahahaha" (わハハハ, Wahahaha?).

   He apparently had a strong bond with his crew. Silvers Rayleigh, his first mate, described him as a "magnificent man".[26] Shanks and Buggy also seemed saddened when speaking of the day of their captain's execution, and both cried a lot at his execution.[27] According to Garp, even though the whole world hated him, his crewmates trusted Roger completely. He had also destroyed the military force of one country for insulting his crew.[21]

   Kin'emon stated that Roger had great admiration for Kouzuki Oden and recruited him as a crewmate for his final voyage.[28] The feeling appeared to be mutual, as Oden thought very highly of Roger, perhaps even more than his previous captain, Edward Newgate.[29] After receiving news of Roger's execution, Oden simultaneously cried and laughed as he marveled at Roger's achievements in life.[30]

   Scopper Gaban learned from Garp that Roger fathered a son, and once told Shanks about it 14 years ago in Elbaph.[31] It is unknown if the rest of the crew was aware of it, prior to Sengoku making it public.

   Friends Most characters who speak of their personal encounter with Roger only make good comments about him, as he seemed to have made many friends in his journey.

   Gan Fall He befriended Gan Fall, the God of Skypiea, and left him with wonderful memories.[32]

   Tom and Kokoro He also befriended Tom and Kokoro, gaining enough admiration and respect for Tom to build him a ship, the Oro Jackson.[33] The Fish-Man would later boast that he was proud he had built the Oro Jackson for the late Pirate King, even though such a declaration led to his death.[34]

   Enemies Monkey D. Garp Roger asking Garp to protect his child, showing great trust and respect in his archrival. Roger asking Garp to protect his child, showing great trust and respect in his archrival.

   Roger had been enemies with the Marine Garp for many years, and in turn Garp attempted to kill Roger several times, but both men respected one another to the point that Roger trusted him as he would trust any member of his own crew. Garp was one of two Marines that Roger considered to be worth his time, the other being Sengoku.[24] This rivalry went so far that both would set aside all their other fights or things they did in the meantime to focus on clashing with each other, but their clashes always ended in draws.[35] In their youth, their rivalry was so intense that he and Garp tended to fight on sight, with Roger dropping everything he was doing beforehand to start fighting Garp. During the God Valley Incident, Roger allied with Garp in order to defeat the demon turned Rocks D. Xebec, even offering pointers on how to utilize their Haki to defeat him in this state, sensing that the pirate was in deep anguish through the Voice of All Things. During the battle Roger had offered Garp to join his crew, showcasing his respect for the Marine, though Garp swiftly rejected it.

   Prior to his execution, Roger imparted the name and location of his lover to Garp in order to protect their child, Portgas D. Ace, from being branded a criminal just by being born as the son of the Pirate King.[36]

   Advertisement Shiki In the past, Shiki the Golden Lion and Roger were enemies on opposing crews, as he was a member of the Rocks Pirates. Eleven years later, Shiki got in a fight with Roger.[37] Later, upon hearing news of Roger's upcoming execution, Shiki attempted to kill Roger himself because of his respect for his rival; he believed that dying by the hands of the weak Marines would not be honorable, even for Roger.[38]

   Charlotte Linlin In the past, Linlin and Roger were amicable toward each other on Hachinosu, as fighting was forbidden as long as they were on Shakuyaku's property.[39] Two years later they appeared to fight against each other during the God Valley Incident.[40] Some years later, Roger managed to locate Big Mom's Road Poneglyph using the Voice of All Things and learned its contents with the help of Oden, allowing him to reach Laugh Tale before her. After failing to stop Roger from this, Big Mom vowed not to let anyone who read her Road Poneglyph get away again.

   As Linlin was defeated by Law and Kid in Wano, she cursed and resented Roger for having started the Great Pirate Era, thereby bringing about a new wave of ambitious pirates who aim to remove her, as well as her fellow Emperors, from power and dominion over the seas in order to find the One Piece.[41]

   Rocks D. Xebec Roger and Rocks' rivalry. Roger and Rocks' rivalry.

   Roger's first and perhaps his most formidable rival and greatest enemy was Rocks D. Xebec, the captain of the legendary Rocks Pirates who sought to become the king of the world. When meeting under circumstances that prevented direct fighting, the two often argued and insulted one another. While such circumstances were common on Hachinosu, the two abandoned their restrictions at sea, resuming hostilities.[42] When Shakuyaku, whom Roger had a deep devotion for, got kidnapped on Hachinosu, Roger instantly blamed Rocks even without knowing the real circumstances, becoming very furious at Rocks and holding a grudge towards Rocks for a whole year.[43] While he initially offered aid to Rocks' crew to fight off Imu, he would be forced to once again fight him after the latter had transformed Rocks into a demon. After hearing Rocks' plea that he and Garp kill him in this state, Roger was driven to tears before delivering the final blow, suggesting he was pained having to kill his rival in this manner.

   Even though they were rival pirates, Roger and Whitebeard appeared to be on fairly good terms.[39] They seemingly had multiple duels upon their lives, with one instance in particular leading to a friendly gift exchange between their crewmembers after three days of endless battling. When Roger requested Whitebeard to allow him to borrow Oden for a year in order to reach the Final Island, even bowing down and giving away all of his treasure in exchange, Whitebeard became enraged by this request and initially refused until Oden himself asked him to allow it.

   Before his death, Roger and Whitebeard met alone on an unknown island to have their final discussion, during which, Roger even offered to tell Whitebeard the location of Laugh Tale and explained the significance of the initial D.[13]

   Advertisement Kuja Pirates Roger, on multiple times alongside his crew, met and clashed with the Kuja Pirates always with the ambition and goal of recruiting Shakuyaku, the first mate of the Kuja Pirates due to her beauty which encapsulated his entire crew and himself. Despite his attempts, Shakuyaku always turned him down, striking at his crewmates like Gaban. Roger even tried to apprehend her himself; however, he had no chance as Shakuyaku was able to use her beauty to subdue him.[35] Despite knowing Shakuyaku had taken interest in his first mate, Roger refused to give up rallying his crew to head to her newly established bar to recruit her.[52] When he later learned that Shakuyaku was kidnapped by the World Nobles on God Valley, he rallied his crew together to rescue her.[53]

   Ironically, Roger had no interest in Gloriosa, the then-captain of the Kuja Pirates and the then-empress of Amazon Lily who was enamored with him, due to (like many others) being too captivated by Shakuyaku.[35][52]

   Abilities and Powers “ Wealth, fame, power. The man who had acquired everything in this world, the Pirate King, Gold Roger! ” — Introduction to We Are![1]

   Roger was hailed as one of the strongest pirates of all time, considered nearly unstoppable in battle. As the Pirate King, he retains the highest status among all the world's pirates, even post-mortem. Elucidating this is the truly enormous bounty he had prior to his death, with Beli5,564,800,000 being the highest in pirating history.[6]

   Kaidou envisions Roger behind Luffy alongside other legendary pirates. Kaidou envisions Roger behind Luffy alongside other legendary pirates.

   Very few people are known to have ever matched Roger in battle: most prominently the legendary "Hero of the Marines", Monkey D. Garp, said to have cornered Roger multiple times before his surrender.[54] According to Roger himself, he also considered Sengoku, the then future Fleet Admiral who wielded the power of a golden Buddha Mythical Zoan, as one of the two Marines that were worth his time.[24]

   Aside from his animosity with the Marines, Roger's second foremost pirate rival was Whitebeard,[55] who wielded the strongest Paramecia-type Devil Fruit and was renowned as the "Strongest Man in the World", even before Roger's death.[3] Another person known to rival Roger was Rocks D. Xebec, who was considered to be his first and most formidable rival, even more so than Whitebeard would come to be.[56] Other examples of Roger's strength include fighting with Shiki, who commanded the largest pirate fleet of his time,[37] and single-handedly defeating the armies of several countries.[21] He also fought against Chinjao in the past many times.[3]

   Kaidou, who at some point came to be called the world's "Strongest Creature", put Roger in the same elite class of a very small number of other notable figures that actually possess the strength to stand against him in battle, such as Whitebeard, Kouzuki Oden, Shanks, and Xebec.[57] Even a mighty warrior such as Oden, who had effortlessly slain actual gigantic beasts, commented on Roger's prowess, comparing his presence to that of a wild beast's.[58]

   Advertisement Physical Abilities Roger possessed immense physical strength, as shown when he easily sent Kouzuki Oden flying. He could also clash evenly with a young Edward Newgate, who could, even in his old age, effortlessly overpower giants.

   Roger also had immense levels of endurance and vitality, even when his body was ravaged by an incurable disease. Aided by Crocus' medical skills, he managed to conquer the Grand Line in a mere three years. He was even able to fight for three days and three nights against Whitebeard until the fight resulted in a draw.

   Swordsmanship Roger was an immensely skilled and powerful swordsman, overpowering the legendary master samurai Kouzuki Oden with only one strike. Along with his mastery of Haki, he was also able to clash equally against Whitebeard's Murakumogiri, creating a powerful shockwave that blew back everything on the island as well as the Moby Dick by the coast.[59]

   Techniques Kamusari. Kamusari.

   Kamusari (神避かむさり, Kamusari?, literally meaning "Divine Departure"): Holding his sword in his right hand, Roger imbues it with Supreme King Haki and then swings his sword horizontally, creating a powerful Haki imbued slash attack to strike his opponent. It was first seen used against Kouzuki Oden, hitting him in the torso with a burst of dark lightning-like energy, and was powerful enough to overwhelm the samurai's two-sword defense, sending him backward a great distance.[60] Kamusari (神避り?) is a word used in the Kojiki, where it refers to the passing of a kami. In the VIZ manga and Funimation adaptations, this is called Divine Departure. In One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4, it retained its original Japanese name of Kamusari even in the English localization before being changed to Divine Departure in a later update, and the Supreme King Haki imbued slash has the added effect of causing weak enemies to foam at the mouth. The technique would be later used by Roger's apprentice, Shanks, in his adult days. Aramitama (荒御魂あらみたま, Aramitama?, literally meaning "Wild Spirit"): A powerful Haki-infused sword strike, capable of matching the force of Monkey D. Garp's Haki-powered punch. It was first seen when used by a younger Roger wielding an unknown sword to counter Garp's punch during one of their clashes at sea.[61] The technique is named after one of the four sub-spirits that make up the soul of a kami (mitama) according to Shintō belief, representing a god's wild and rampageous side. In the VIZ manga, the move is called Rampaging Spirit. Hi-no-Kagutsuchi no Eisu (火之迦具土 慧士ひのかぐつちのえいす, Hi-no-Kagutsuchi no Eisu?, literally meaning "Hi-no-Kagutsuchi Wise Man"): Roger infuses his sword with Armament and Supreme King Haki at "critical mass" while spinning it in his hand, then delivers a series of slashes, cutting his enemy into pieces. This attack was first seen used to defeat Rocks D. Xebec alongside Garp's Infinitum Explosion attack.[62] Hi-no-Kagutsuchi is the kami (god) of fire in Japanese mythology. Eisu is pronounced similar to Ace (エース, Ēsu?), the name of Roger's sword and eventual son. In the VIZ translation, this is called God of Fire Ace.

   Advertisement Non-Canon Techniques Haki Matoi (覇気纏い, Haki Matoi?, literally meaning "Haki Envelopment"): Roger imbues his sword with Armament Haki and Supreme King Haki. It is Roger's Full-Force Burst Special Move in One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 which causes charge attacks to no longer require the button to be held down. In the English version of the game, it is called Encompassing Haki. Hao no Ichigeki (覇王の一撃, Haō no Ichigeki?, literally meaning "Supreme King's Single Strike"): Roger imbues sword with Supreme King Haki and unleashes a powerful attack into the vicinity with an upward slice. It is one of Roger's Special Moves in One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4. In the English version of the game, it is called Conquer's Strike. Voice of All Things Roger hears the voices of Sea Kings. Roger hears the voices of Sea Kings.

   According to Rayleigh, Roger could locate the Poneglyphs because he had the ability to "hear the voice of all things".[63] However, he was not like the Ohara scholars who used their intellect to study the Poneglyphs, so he could not exactly "read" them.

   Roger was also one of only five known beings who possessed the ability to hear Sea Kings speaking, the other five being Luffy, Shirahoshi, Poseidon, Oden and Monkey D. Garp. He was also one of four known humans in the series who possessed the ability to hear Zunesha speaking, the other three being Luffy, Kouzuki Oden, and Kouzuki Momonosuke.[64] Alongside Garp, Roger could hear the true thoughts and intentions of Rocks D. Xebec after he had been transformed into a demon.[65]

   Haki Main article: Haki Roger was one of the very few people in the world who could use all three types of Haki.[3] Kaidou mentioned that despite him not having a Devil Fruit, his Haki alone was powerful enough to make him among the strongest people in the world.[66]

   Supreme King Haki Roger and Newgate's Supreme King Haki-imbued clash. Roger and Newgate's Supreme King Haki-imbued clash.

   Roger possessed immense mastery in the usage of Supreme King Haki, which was seen when he clashed with fellow Supreme King Haki user Edward Newgate. Their clash created a notable effect similar to lightning and released a large burst that traveled across the island that they were on and split the heavens, pushing back the Moby Dick alongside the nearby trees, clouds, and people.[67]

   Most notably, Roger was one of the very few Supreme King users able to use the advanced application to "infuse" his attacks with Supreme King Haki to exponentially increase his attack power, with his sword being shown emitting streams of black lightning-like energy in his clash with Edward Newgate, signifying the infusion.[59][68]

   Advertisement Armament Haki Roger imbues Ace with Armament Haki (alongside Supreme King Haki). Roger imbues Ace with Armament Haki (alongside Supreme King Haki).

   Roger was an immensely skilled user of Armament Haki. He could imbue his cutlass with Haki, allowing it to evenly clash against the Haki-infused Murakumogiri, one of the 12 Supreme Grade Blades. As a testament to his mastery, he overpowered Kouzuki Oden, who was an exceptional master of Armament Haki in his own right, with only a single brief attack.

   Furthermore, Roger could utilize the advanced application of emitting Armament Haki out from his blade, allowing him to attack opponents without making physical contact. He was first shown using this during his battle against Whitebeard.[59]

   In the anime, when Roger used advanced Armament Haki, it is shown as a red-colored flowing aura.

   Observation Haki Roger possessed the ability to use Observation Haki.[3]

   Weapons Further information: Ace (Sword) Roger's main weapon was a cutlass named Ace, which is one of the 12 Supreme Grade Blades. He wielded it at least as far back as the God Valley Incident,[69] and was shown possessing it up until the end of his pirating journey.[59] During the Battle of Edd War, Roger was shown wielding a flintlock pistol with his right hand and Ace with his left.[37]

   ol D. Roger was born in Loguetown in the East Blue 77 years ago.[2] According to Monkey D. Garp, Roger grew up in difficult circumstances and developed a great fear of losing his loved ones above all else.[70] Sometime later as a young man, he met Silvers Rayleigh and became impressed by the ship he was using, which Rayleigh stole to live on after his house burned down. Viewing their encounter as a fated meeting, he asked Rayleigh to join him in "turning the world upside down." Though Rayleigh refused at first, Roger's insistence managed to win him over, and the two have been best friends ever since.[10] Together, they built the Roger Pirates, with Roger as captain and Rayleigh as his first mate, and found others to join them, such as Scopper Gaban as their navigator.

   Around five decades ago, Roger had already become renowned as an infamous rookie, with Brook having heard of him before the destruction of his crew.[71][3] During his pirating career, Roger became a sworn rival to the Marine, Monkey D. Garp, having clashed with him several times and never passing up an opportunity to fight him. At some point, he and his crew visited Water 7 and hired the master shipwright, Tom, to build a new ship for them. Using wood from the legendary Treasure Tree Adam and Tom constructed the Oro Jackson, which became the Roger Pirates' famed ship. With their new ship, Roger and his crew eventually visited Fish-Man Island and apparently got acquainted with Neptune, who at the time was still a prince of the Ryugu Kingdom, and subsequently sailed into the New World.

   Roger clashes with Garp. Roger clashes with Garp.

   Around 44 years ago, Roger led his crew in an attack on the Kuja Pirates, with the goal of having Shakuyaku join them. Unfortunately, they were all far too lovestruck by her to actually fight, leading to her easily subduing Roger and his subordinates with ease. While the Kuja attempted to make off with Roger's treasure, a Marine ship suddenly appeared and attacked, forcing the Kuja to flee. While they did so, Roger ordered a retreat as well, but then Gaban informed him that it was Garp's ship, and so he retracted the order and rallied his men to fight instead. Although Roger and Garp were locked in a tough fight, the Roger Pirates were eventually able to escape.[35] 42 years ago, sometime following one of their usual "battles" with the Kuja Pirates, Roger met privately with Rayleigh to discuss Shakky, who had just quit her crew. Roger mentioned that Shakky had seemed sick, to which Rayleigh revealed that he had received a love letter from her telling him to come and get her. Roger was enraged to find out that Rayleigh wasn't interested in settling down with her, as that was all he himself had wished for.

   Sometime after, news reached the crew that Shakky had settled down on Hachinosu. Roger was still sulking from what Rayleigh had told him but made a quick recovery and declared that they would travel there to find her. Come 40 years ago, they did. After arriving on Hachinosu, the Roger Pirates, sans Rayleigh, easily wiped out every pirate in line to Shakky's Rip-off Bar, forcing their way inside. Although Rocks D. Xebec was annoyed by Roger's presence, Roger reminded him that Shakky forbade fighting in her bar, forcing him to back off. Gloriosa was quick to throw herself at him, to his displeasure. Roger firmly rejected her, revealing that he was only interested in Shakky. Sure enough, at that same time, Shakky approached him, asking for Rayleigh's whereabouts. Roger revealed that Rayleigh had remained on the ship, causing Shakky great disappointment. Afterward, Roger called out for Newgate with the intent to drink with him, but Linlin revealed that he had already left.[52]

   Advertisement God Valley Incident and Rise to Power 39 years ago, Roger and his crew reached Lodestar Island, the final island that the Log Pose pointed to. However, Roger somehow figured out that the real final island was beyond this point and that the Road Poneglyphs gave clues about its location.[72] Within the same year, Roger would learn that Shakky was kidnapped off of Hachinosu, causing him to tear up the newspaper in fury and blame Rocks while the rest of the crew was in distress. 38 years ago, after learning that she was held as a prize for the Native Hunting Competition on God Valley, Roger rallied the rest of the crew to set out to rescue her.[53]

   On God Valley, Roger briefly clashes with Whitebeard to ensure Rayleigh can save Shakky. On God Valley, Roger briefly clashes with Whitebeard to ensure Rayleigh can save Shakky.

   Upon arrival at God Valley, Roger led his crew into the battle, announcing that he would be the one to rescue Shakky, while the rest of them stole the treasure. Despite being nearly knocked unconscious by them for his selfishness, Roger was quick to get back into the fray, eventually confronting the Knights of God.[11] The battle continued between the various pirates and World Government forces on the island, only temporarily broken up by the sudden arrival of Monkey D. Garp, which caught the attention of Rocks and Roger.[73] Despite the new opponent, Roger's primary focus was on saving Shakky, causing him to lead his crew deep into God Valley to find her. He was forced into an inevitable clash with Newgate and found himself too occupied to go on. He elected to instead send Rayleigh, who was able to find and rescue Shakky from Shepherd Sommers. With the main objective secured, Roger tearfully ordered his crew to retreat.[74] After telling Rayleigh to go on ahead with Shakky, Roger and the rest of the crew fought off the other pirates and Marines while deciding to go after the remaining treasure. After reaching said treasure, Roger and his crew continued fighting off all the invading pirates and marines, with Roger briefly stopping when he witnessed the arrival of Imu with Jaygarcia Saturn, excitingly stating how there's been one adventurous twist after another.[75]

   However, the excitement quickly died down after realizing the danger posed to his crew. Roger ordered Gaban to flee with their men and the treasure while he remained behind to face the new threat. After a minor setback involving magnets, Roger was able to proceed forward and unleash a Divine Departure unto Imu, in unison with the rest of the pirates and Garp. Although the damage was not lasting due to Imu's immortality, Roger and Garp still bickered over who caused more damage. However, while they argued, Imu managed to get Rocks into his grasp and used the opportunity to convert him into a demon.[76]

   Roger was in disbelief at their collective failure to leave any lasting damage on Imu. After Rocks dropped down, Garp and Roger stood aside as the now demonic pirate easily wiped out his own crew, on Imu's orders. Once Rocks believed he had killed his wife and son, Imu redirected him back toward killing everyone on God Valley. While Rocks was busy with the remaining pirates, Roger received a call from his crewmates, demanding his location. Roger informed them that he was fine and to let him know when everyone else was safely on board their ship. In order to force a confrontation, Garp and Roger called out to Rocks, bringing him to their location. After Rocks confronted him and Garp, Roger flatly told his rival that he would protect his crew from him. However, the pair suddenly received a message from Rocks through the Voice of All Things, begging them to kill him. With no other choice, Garp and Roger engaged Rocks together.[65]

   The trio's fight was intense, causing the clouds above to split from the sheer amount of power all three were using. Despite calls from their crewmates, Garp and Roger confidently responded that they intended to win. In a slight grace period, Roger revealed that he had only gone to God Valley in order to save Shakky and steal some treasure and did not expect the current situation. Seeing no alternative, Roger offered an actual truce to Garp, who begrudgingly accepted. The fight continued again, damaging more and more of their surroundings, but hardly progressing, as none could land any critical blows. As they were granted another bit of a grace period, Roger took a moment to question Garp on his knowledge regarding Imu, offering him a spot on his crew if he wished to quit being a Marine. Garp scoffed at the offer, reminding Roger that he was one of the Marines' trump cards and that losing him would be a heavily felt blow. As they prepared to face Rocks again, Roger revealed his plan to secure victory: channel all of their "mass" into one final attack. As all of their previous attacks had been countered by Rocks' own use of Supreme King Haki, it was their only option. With Rocks approaching, the two prepared their attacks and lunged forward. Using Kagutsuchi's Ace in tandem with Garp's attack, the pair landed critical damage on Rocks.[62] In the end, Garp and Roger were successful in defeating Rocks. Thanks to the arrival of Gaban and Rayleigh, the two were safely carried away while the Knights of God finished Rocks off. Afterwards, the alliance and Roger's involvement in the event were not publicly reported.[77]

   Sometime later, while recovering on his ship, Roger's crew revealed a large haul of treasure that was safely secured. However, among the loot was a one-year-old Shanks, who had stowed away inside of one of the treasure chests, shocking everyone present.[78] As they had little other choice, Shanks stayed with the crew and eventually became a Pirate Apprentice to them.[79]

   At some point, Roger managed to sneak into Linlin's territory of Totto Land and gained a copy of her Road Poneglyph, though they could not translate it.[80][81] 30 years ago, Roger read a newspaper and learned that a samurai from Wano Country had joined the Whitebeard Pirates, leading Roger to become interested in meeting him.[12] Roger and his crew got into numerous battles with other pirate crews, with one such clash being against the Maelstrom Spider Pirates; this battle ended with the Roger Pirates apparently wiping out everyone on it except for the captain, Squard.[82] At another point, Roger was gravely wounded in a fight and needed to recover from his injuries at a hospital in the mountains. When hundreds of enemies came to ambush him, Scopper Gaban fought them all off while he recovered safely.[83]

Despite the urges of Buggy, Roger refused Shiki's offer and said that he wanted to be free to do what he wanted. Shiki announced that his answer meant the death of him, while Roger said it meant that he would beat him, and a great sea battle soon ensued between their crews.[85] The battle was resolved by a storm that happened during their fight, which sank half of Shiki's fleet.[37]

Roger's crew went to meet them and encountered Kouzuki Oden charging toward them. Roger quickly overpowered Oden before clashing with Whitebeard, and the skirmish between the crews lasted for three days and three nights before it ultimately became a gift exchange. Roger spoke with Whitebeard and Oden and told them about his intention to reach the last island in the Grand Line. Roger then begged Oden to join his crew for one year to decipher the Road Poneglyphs. Oden agreed, and he, his wife Toki, and their children Momonosuke and Hiyori set sail with Roger. Inuarashi and Nekomamushi followed them as stowaways.

   Crocus told Roger he had one year left to live, and soon afterward, the Roger Pirates journeyed up to Skypiea. Roger easily found the Shandorian Golden Belfry Bell due to his ability to hear its voice, which he claimed spoke about a certain weapon named Poseidon. Roger told Oden to inscribe a message about his presence at Skypiea and intended goal to reach the ends of the world into the bell's surface.[86][87]

   After leaving Skypiea, the crew's ship sailed to Water 7 to pay Tom a visit. With Oden at his side, Roger sought after the Road Poneglyphs, which held together the key to the coordinates of the final island. Already possessing a transcription of Big Mom's Road Poneglyph at hand and having a general idea about where to find another,[88] Roger learned about the location of two more from Oden, Inuarashi, and Nekomamushi, whose family and people had them guarded at Wano Country and Zou, respectively.

   The crew later journeyed to Fish-Man Island. Roger and Oden also noticed voices during the undersea trip, unaware that they came from the resident Sea Kings. After reaching Fish-Man Island, Roger got reacquainted with King Neptune. The Road Poneglyph, whose whereabouts Roger had a suspicion of, was located at the Sea Forest, near Fish-Man Island and right next to the Poneglyph containing Joy Boy's letter of apology. While at Fish-Man Island, Roger met a young Shyarly and became aware of certain prophecies about the future, showing a particular interest in Poseidon's whereabouts.

   Sometime after leaving Fish-Man Island, Toki became ill, and the Roger Pirates stopped by at Wano Country. After acquiring the information from Wano's Poneglyphs, the crew left Toki, Momonosuke, Hiyori, Inuarashi, and Nekomamushi behind. Later, with the help of a Vivre Card and letter from Nekomamushi and Inuarashi, Roger was able to land at Zou and befriend the Mink Tribe. On his way to the Road Poneglyph inside the Whale Tree, Roger experienced another mysterious voice alongside Oden, leaving them both with feelings of unease. Later on, Roger was approached by a young Pedro, who was eager to accompany him on his adventure. Roger declined Pedro's request but still reassured the Mink that he would play an important role in the future.

   Roger's condition was worsening as they progressed further, so he and his crew had to rush their quest, leaving Buggy, who became sick, and Shanks, who was taking care of him, behind. With the information of every Road Poneglyph at hand, Roger and his crew ultimately made it to the elusive final island of the Grand Line. There, not only did they learn the truth about the Void Century, the Ancient Weapons, and the Will of D., but they also stumbled upon Joy Boy's treasure. Roger and his crewmates reacted to this discovery with a burst of laughter. Roger professed his curiosity about Joy Boy, considering the circumstances behind this past figure as funny. Inspired by Joy Boy's story, Roger bestowed the final island with the name of "Laugh Tale".[89]

   Soon, the news of Roger's discovery of Laugh Tale led the world to recognize him as the Pirate King. As a result, many pirates and Marine forces were targeting the crew to eliminate Roger and get his treasure. Later, Roger decided to disband his crew. Upon learning they were early, Roger planned to sire a son that would find the One Piece next. Roger also told Oden that he wanted to meet Whitebeard before he died. Later, he was the first to leave the crew and the ship, leaving his first mate Rayleigh some final words claiming that he "would not die". He also took some medicine from Crocus as he parted ways with his comrades, who cried as he left.[90]

   Following disbanding his crew,[91] Roger had a final meeting with Whitebeard, where he told him about the nickname the government gave him, Gold Roger, and the secret of the Will of D. Roger offered to tell Whitebeard how to get to Laugh Tale, but Whitebeard declined due to lack of interest.[13]

   At some point after leaving his crew, he met Portgas D. Rouge, a woman living in Baterilla, and the two fell in love. In time, Rouge came to bear Roger's child, and Roger came up with two names depending on the baby's gender: "Ann" if it was a girl, or "Ace" if it was a boy. Knowing that he would be long dead by the time the child arrived, Roger then left Rouge and turned himself in to the Marines. While in prison, he asked his old enemy, Garp, to take care of his child after he was gone, saying that an infant should not be labeled a criminal just for his family ties. Although Garp said he had no obligation to do so, Roger knew he would do it anyway.[36]

   Thinking they would make an example of him to prevent others from becoming pirates, the Marines brought him back to his birthplace, Loguetown, to face his execution in front of a large crowd. However, instead of trembling with fear like most people would before their demise, Roger smiled proudly without regret, which was noticed by several spectators, including a young Smoker. And just before he met his end, Roger yelled out his famous last words:

   “ My treasure? If you want it, I'll grant it! Search on! All the world had to offer, I left in that place! ” — Roger's famous last words.[1]

   Immediately after that, the swords of the executioners fell, and the greatest pirate of them all died while still smiling.[1]

   Advertisement Legacy The Great Pirate Era Roger's legacy has been among the most impactful legacies left by one person in history. Although the World Government intended his execution to send a message against the institution of piracy, Roger's final words created the opposite result. Numerous people from across the world began to set sail as pirates in the hopes of finding Roger's treasure, with the general view that whoever next made it to Laugh Tale and acquired the One Piece would assume Roger's mantle of "Pirate King." The explosion in piracy across the world has resulted in the time following it, all the way to the Summit War of Marineford, to be dubbed the "Great Pirate Era,"[1] with interest in the One Piece renewing in the succeeding New Age. The crowd at Roger's execution consisted of a great number of people who would go on to become extremely infamous pirates and criminals,[27] and this fervor was passed down to those who were born after Roger's execution, with many of the young adults composing the newest pirate generations of the present day being among that group.

   Pirates who knew Roger personally all had different reactions to his demise. The members of his old crew all became depressed upon learning of their former captain's execution but also proud of what he did right before he was executed. This includes his First Mate, Silvers Rayleigh, as well as Kouzuki Oden, who both laughed and cried at the news. His disciples, Shanks and Buggy, who were both heartbroken at Roger's death, began forming their own crews right afterwards. Though while Buggy preferred laying low with his crew to avoid attention from the Marines, Shanks eventually returned to the New World with his men and joined the ranks of the most influential pirates in the world, the Four Emperors, and also inherited his old captain's trademark technique. In addition, right before heading to the New World, Shanks inspired a young boy from the East Blue named Monkey D. Luffy to become a pirate himself and seek out his old captain's fortune to claim his title, even giving the boy his prized straw hat, which he also received from Roger himself. As for those outside Roger's crew, his greatest rival, Whitebeard, having known of Roger's intentions leading up to his execution, was unaffected by the Pirate King's death. Roger's other rival, Shiki, on the other hand, could not believe that the Marines managed to take Roger into custody and attacked Marineford in order to get the chance to kill Roger personally.[38]

   Due to Roger's exceptional infamy, the World Government worked tirelessly to eradicate anyone with connections to him, no matter how small. Members of the Roger Pirates continue to possess active bounties, even with nearly a quarter-century having passed since Roger's death.[92] Any civilian who worked with Roger, regardless of what reasons they had for doing so, is also considered a criminal; a prominent example of this was Tom, who was sentenced to death simply for building the Oro Jackson, despite the general standard being that shipwrights were not responsible for how their ships were used.[93] Although this persecution caused most people who were affiliated with Roger to go into hiding, these connections also granted the potential to gain respect in more lawless circles. This was seen to a considerable degree with Buggy, who was able to get hundreds of powerful Impel Down prisoners to rally around him out of admiration just for his affiliation with the Pirate King.[94] This connection alone was enough to enable him to acquire a seat within the Seven Warlords of the Sea until its dissolution and then allow him to become one of the Four Emperors after unintentionally forming an alliance with two other famous pirates, Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk.

   Advertisement Roger's Son: Portgas D. Ace A special degree of attention was given to the idea of Roger's progeny, with the World Government being committed to eliminating any and all remainders of the Pirate King's bloodline. It was heavily believed by the government and Marines that anyone with Roger's bloodline would start a new reign of terror with the next generation of pirates. Their efforts were at their most intense in the year following Roger's death, and all children born near areas where Roger had visited within 10 months of his death were inspected along with any pregnant woman; any child possessing even a suspicion of a connection to Roger was to be killed. This hunt resulted in Rouge, Roger's only lover, keeping their only child, who she named Ace based on Roger's wishes, in her womb for an additional 15 months to allow him to be born after the hunt had subsided, though at the cost of her own life. As per Roger's request, Garp adopted Ace and guarded him throughout his childhood.

   Although Roger inspired a great number of people to pursue piracy, he appeared to be despised by the majority of civilians, who like the World Government viewed any child sired by him as a dangerous threat. Pirates who had been victimized by Roger and his crew in the past also despised the Pirate King and looked to take out their grudge on any potential offspring. Due to these sentiments and Roger not being in his life, Ace hated and disowned his father for bringing him into a world that wanted him dead just for existing, choosing to use his mother's surname instead of Roger's to keep his true heritage a secret.[95] Nonetheless, and despite Garp's insistence that he should become a Marine, Ace ultimately followed in his father's footsteps and became an infamous pirate in his own right. However, he had no desire to find his father's treasure or claim his title of Pirate King, believing that should be his adopted brother, Luffy's accomplishment. Instead, he wished to surpass Roger by doing the one thing his father could not: killing his greatest rival, Whitebeard. But after meeting the Emperor and spending some time among his crew, he ultimately ended up becoming an official member and a son to Whitebeard. When Ace revealed his heritage to Newgate, the old pirate stated that he did not even care that Ace was related to his sworn rival.

   However, Ace and the crew were then betrayed by one of their own; Marshall D. Teach, the son of Whitebeard's former captain and Roger's greatest foe in life, Rocks D. Xebec. As if reigniting their fathers' old rivalry in their veins, Ace chased after Teach, who then called himself "Blackbeard", but was then defeated by him during a deadly scuffle at Banaro Island and then handed over to the Marines.

   Summit War of Marineford Roger's legacy ultimately played a large role in facilitating the Summit War of Marineford, one of the greatest conflicts of the last century. Having known for some time that Ace was Roger's son, the government took him being delivered into their captivity by Blackbeard as an opportunity to publicly execute him, even though this would start a war with Whitebeard and his crew, who fought with everything they had to save him. Before the war began, Sengoku revealed Ace's true heritage to the world, making him even more infamous than he ever was previously, and also claimed that Whitebeard was grooming Ace to inherit his father's title, a belief whose veracity is uncertain.[95] This revelation would cause one of Whitebeard's allies to betray his benefactor due to his grudge against Roger, only to be calmed down and reminded that one's bloodline does not make them guilty for the sins of their parents.

   Despite great efforts to rescue him, Ace ultimately perished in the war, thus ending Roger's bloodline completely, and Whitebeard himself would follow suit afterwards. But just before his death, Whitebeard claimed that even if Roger's lineage was erased, his will would still be inherited. He and others have given indications that Ace's adopted brother, Monkey D. Luffy would carry on this will. After all, Luffy was inspired to find the One Piece and become the next Pirate King by Roger's former disciple, Shanks, who gave him the straw hat that Roger himself once wore.[96] After spending two years aiding in Luffy's training, Silvers Rayleigh himself noted the similarities between the two men and stated that Luffy had grown to be "more worthy" of the hat Roger wore.[10]

   There were many who did not believe Roger's words upon his death, believing that the One Piece was nothing more than a myth he invented to spread chaos upon the world after his demise out of spite. Many pirates who have had their dreams crushed by the harsh environment of the Grand Line also came to accept this philosophy and even chose to mock others for continuing to believe in such things. However, Whitebeard used his final breath to proclaim to the world watching the broadcast of the Marineford War that the One Piece does indeed exist, thus removing any and all doubt in Roger's final words. Although the Great Pirate Era had not subsided at that point, this proclamation created a renewed interest in piracy, leading to the years after the war being dubbed the "New Age".[96]

   Advertisement Hidden History and Unknown Dream Roger's arrival at Laugh Tale and discovery of the true history of the Void Century there would set into motion many of the events that were foretold in that time, even though he arrived two decades before those events would ultimately take place. Namely, Kouzuki Oden became aware of the need to open the borders of his homeland, Wano Country, in preparation for these events.[97] However, his efforts were blocked by another one of Roger's rivals, Kaidou, who conspired with the Kurozumi family to take control of Wano and kill Oden, although his retainers swore to accomplish what their leader couldn't. But even after Kaidou's defeat, Oden's son and heir, Momonosuke, decided not to open the country's borders yet, believing it to be too soon to do so.

   Before his death, Dr. Vegapunk left a message for the world to see upon his demise, and in it, he explained that Roger and his crew had uncovered the true history of the world when they found Laugh Tale, including about Joy Boy, the Great Kingdom, and the Ancient Weapons. This revelation shocked everyone listening and made several people even more determined to find the One Piece, which Vegapunk stated could decide the fate of the world.

   In addition, Roger had an unknown dream, and he thought that by reaching Laugh Tale and obtaining whatever treasure was left there, he would be able to accomplish it. When he told his dream to both Whitebeard and Oden, the former laughed at how silly or impossible it was, while the latter was left in awe and shock. Oden wrote down what Roger said in his logbook, which was retrieved and kept safe by Yamato. Coincidentally, Luffy has the exact same goal that Roger had and also believes that he can truly accomplish it by reaching Laugh Tale and becoming Pirate King. He told it to both Ace and his other adoptive brother, Sabo, and then years later told it to his crew. When Ace told Yamato what Luffy said years prior, Yamato was surprised and left in tears at the similarities that Luffy had to Roger.

Roger vs. Zephyr (mentioned) Roger Pirates vs. Naguri Pirates Anime and Manga Differences The Toei anime created a number of original details on Roger's life—and death—during the Loguetown Arc, in particular Episode 48. Among them:

   Establishing him as awing an old bartender (who eventually renamed his bar after Roger) the night before sailing for the Grand Line. Establishing four (apocryphal) foes he conquered during his voyages: Killer Giant, Eric Dow, the Gowns Brothers, and Silver-Silver. Setting his execution on a hot, clear day (something later contradicted by the manga, which confirmed it—much like Luffy's near-execution in Loguetown—was held during a heavy rainstorm.[99][27]) Framing his last words as a response to an unnamed man witnessing the execution, rather than speaking it unprompted. By extension, framing his death as a panicked effort by the executioners to stop him from stating the One Piece's exact location (something that is, at best, ambiguous in the original manga). Depicting his cause of death as a double impalement through the heart (also ambiguous in the manga, which has only ever depicted the killing motion(s) from a long, almost-imperceptible distance and never stated the method in either narration or dialogue) Toei went on to ignore most of these when adapting the manga's own expansions on Roger's final days, though Episode 400 (adapting Chapter 506) reiterates the idea of Roger being impaled by the executioners.

   Translation and Dub Issues While Japanese sources have always remained consistent on Roger's last words, every official English translation has offered different wording and emphases:

   VIZ manga: Chapter 1: "My treasure? Why, it's right where I left it... it's yours if you can find it, but you'll have to search the whole world!" Chapter 506: "My treasure? You can have it if you want it. Go find it! I left all the riches of the world there." 4Kids anime: Opening 1: "My fortune is yours for the taking, but you'll have to find it first. I left everything I own in One Piece." Funimation anime: Opening 1 (and Episode 48): "You want my treasure? You can have it! I left everything I gathered together in one place. Now you just have to find it!" Episode 400 (dubbed): "If anyone wants my treasure... then it's yours for the taking. Go find it! I left everything I gathered in one place." Episode 400 (subtitled): "My treasure? If you want it, you can have it! Find it! I left everything this world has to offer there!" While all preserve the dialogue's general spirit, only some emphasize "that place" (そこに, soko ni?)—a place presumably known to Roger, and possibly his audience, but not the reader—as the original does.

   The specific execution method used on Roger also differs among translations (due in part to the ambiguity mentioned above):

   The VIZ manga claims that the executioners "lopped off his head" with their blades. The 4Kids anime claims that they "hung him from the gallows" (the penalty passed on most real-life pirates) (It should be noted that in the manga, the execution is punctuated by the sound effect "zan" (ザン?). This is often accepted as a katakana rendering of 斬, a term associated with cutting/slashing actions in general, and decapitation in particular. Additionally, the initial execution attempt on Portgas D. Ace during the Summit War of Marineford, set-up almost identically to Roger's, has the executioners aiming their blades at Ace's neck.[100])

   The live-action series and anime depicts the executioners skewering Roger in the back.

The King of Belly One Piece: Dream Pointer Trivia Roger is the first character depicted in the series, as well as the first to die on-panel. It was stated that Ace's mother held him for 20 months (5 months before and 15 months after Roger's execution).[101] Since Ace's birthday is January 1st, Roger must have been executed sometime between late September and early October. Although his bounty is now inactive, Roger's bounty is the highest recorded bounty in the entire series, with Beli5,564,800,000, stated to be unsurpassed by any pirate.[6] In Roger's bounty of Beli5,564,800,000, the 6-4-8 can be read as ro-shi-ya (ロシヤ). This could refer to his given name "Roger" (ロジャー, Rojā?). Roger is the first character to be shown with the D in his name. However, he is the second to be named, since Dr. Kureha revealed that his true name was Gol D. Roger after his initial introduction. This is also the first indication that there is an underlying mystery and something special in those who carry the initial D, and Roger himself admits to Whitebeard that the D has a greater meaning than a simple initial. Roger did not like the nickname "Gold Roger" because it was not his true name.[13] It is confirmed that Roger did not have Devil Fruit powers prior to his death.[66] In Episode 85 of the anime, when Hiriluk was describing what a pirate is to Chopper, a man who was identical in appearance to Roger was seen. When Oars was pretending to be a pirate by placing a piece of rubble on his head, a pirate similar to Roger was also shown. Roger is the first known owner of the straw hat that Luffy (and previously Shanks) wears. In One Piece Green, it was revealed that Roger's mustache was actually intended to be his nose hair in the beginning. In the 1st, 4th and 6th Japanese fan polls of most popular characters, Roger was ranked the 13th, 83rd (along with Blueno, Tom, Chopper Man and Van Augur) and 39th, respectively. Upon his death, the real-life pirate Olivier Levasseur had tossed a cryptogram from the scaffolding into the crowd and told them if they could figure out the message, his treasure (now valued at £160,000,000 in today's money) would be theirs, a treasure that to this day has never been found. This seems to have been part of the inspiration for Roger's legendary death speech, as Roger himself had delivered the message to find his treasure, and notably the Poneglyphs are also part of a grand cryptogram leading to the end of the Grand Line. Another possible inspiration for Roger could be Henry Every. In 1695, Every led what has been called the most profitable pirate raid of all time, capturing an enormous treasure estimated to be worth up to £600,000 (around $400 million in modern currency), becoming the richest pirate in the world and earning him the epithet "The King of Pirates". Despite being the target of a worldwide manhunt and getting the highest bounty in history placed on his head (£1,000, around $700,000 currently), Every vanished with his treasure in the Caribbean (then called New World). He is said to have influenced the next generation of pirates, including Blackbeard, Bartholomew Roberts, Calico Jack, Samuel Bellamy and Edward Low, among others, who were children at the time (and whose names are used for several One Piece characters). Roger's favorite foods are sake and Higashizame steak, and his least favorite food is medicine.[3] Roger's animal resemblance is a quokka.[3] Roger's hobby is adventuring.[3]

   Silvers Rayleigh,[2][9] also known as the "Dark King",[4] is a legendary retired pirate who formerly served as the first mate of the Roger Pirates,[3] being known as the "Right Hand of the Pirate King".[2] He is one of the major figures from the time when Gol D. Roger, the "Pirate King", was still alive.

   After the disbandment of the Roger Pirates and the execution of Roger, Rayleigh became a coating mechanic at the Sabaody Archipelago. Also, at some point after this, he became the husband of Shakuyaku and befriended Hatchan.[10] Through Hatchan, Rayleigh became acquainted with the Straw Hat Pirates and volunteered to coat their ship so that they could continue their journey to the New World.[11] Following the Summit War of Marineford, Rayleigh tutored Monkey D. Luffy in Haki to prepare him for the challenges ahead and two years later saw Luffy and his crew off from Sabaody Archipelago, completing the job he had started for them.[12] After the Seven Warlords of the Sea were disbanded and the Emperor Blackbeard invaded Amazon Lily, Rayleigh personally intervened to put an end to the hostilities and intimidated the Emperor into retreating.[13]

   Rayleigh is an ally of the Straw Hat Pirates during the Sabaody Archipelago Arc and Return to Sabaody Arc, and served as Luffy's mentor during the two-year timeskip.[12]

   Advertisement Appearance Rayleigh is an elderly man of relatively tall height with a very muscular build and tan skin. Two of his most distinguishing traits are his round glasses and facial hair, which is arranged embattled across his lower jaw. He also has a scar over his right eye, which he has had for over 44 years.[14]

   Rayleigh chooses to dress quite simply, usually just in a nearly plain t-shirt, shorts, and sandals. When out in public, he also seems to enjoy the cover of a large silver hooded cloak, though the hood is often down. Underneath these clothes, the old man's body is surprisingly built and very well-toned, a testament to his incredible strength.

   When Rayleigh was younger, he had clean cut strawberry blond hair (black when first seen in the anime) and had a moderate amount of facial hair. Over the years, as his hair whitened, he grew it out. He also grew a beard from his initial striped facial hair. During Roger's last year alive, Rayleigh was noticeably taller, reaching almost the same height as his former captain. Regardless of his age, Rayleigh is a muscular man with a broad chest and well-built body.[2]

   During Rayleigh's first appearance in Buggy's flashback, he wore a t-shirt with an ornately decorated collar, a motif that appeared even in the long coat he wore during the Battle of Edd War. He wore an orange shirt, light-brown spotted Bermuda shorts, and simple sandals. He also has a silver-colored coat hanging from his shoulders.[1]

   After the two-year timeskip, Rayleigh now wears a black T-shirt as well as his silver hooded cloak.

   Later after the Levely and his arrival on Amazon Lily, Rayleigh wore a yellow ochre top with sleeves and light-green pants with dark green zig-zag like diamond patterns.

Log Promise Silvers Rayleigh's attire from One Piece Log Collection. Silvers Rayleigh's Wanted Poster Rayleigh's non-canon wanted poster as seen in One Piece: Stampede. Personality Light-hearted, casual, fun-loving, and righteous, Rayleigh's attributes bear a striking resemblance to his former captain, Roger in the present day. When he served as first-mate, however, he was shown to have been more impatient, rational, and serious when compared to most other hands and sailors, easily irritated with the antics of the younger crew, and being more of a disciplinarian. His more serious demeanour also gave him some advantages, being the only one among his compatriots not to fall for Shakky's beauty and charm. However, he has mellowed since his crew disbanded, becoming much more relaxed even when training Luffy. While often casual, with a hint of seriousness and extreme strength hiding behind his glasses, Rayleigh enjoys going with the flow and appearing in unexpected places and in unexpected ways, especially given his status and age.

   Rayleigh is not often headstrong, looking before he leaps and taking time to plan ahead before taking action, although he does not hesitate to act if need be. Even when entering into an unfortunate or unplanned situation, such as engaging a Marine Admiral in combat or having his ship sink in the Sea King-infested waters of the Grand Line, Rayleigh remains completely calm, pushing forward through adversity with no hesitation. However, Rayleigh has something of a fatherly side to him. This is shown when it comes to Luffy and Hancock, and when pushed, Rayleigh is capable of anger when provoked. When Blackbeard invaded Amazon Lily and tried to kill Hancock, Rayleigh stared furiously towards him, even referring to him as a brat whom he did not like.

   He is typically open and talkative and, like Whitebeard, seems to enjoy talking about the past and its great times, as well as the good old days of their nearly bygone era. In spite of this, he appeared reluctant to get into the darker topic of the Void Century. He was willing to divulge the whole truth to Nico Robin if she wished, but she declined his offer. He is also wise and somewhat cautious, well aware of his own limitations and that he is far past his prime. He often comments on his age and how his body "does not work the way it used to", much like Garp, and Whitebeard. In spite of his legendary status, Rayleigh admitted he would be no match for Blackbeard in a straight-up fight at his age and was gambling on his reputation to scare him off.

   As stated by Shakky, he loves alcohol and women, which he proved when he was first introduced, saving Camie from being mistreated by Disco while holding a hip flask. He prefers to be called "Ray-san". Despite once being enemies with the Whitebeard Pirates, Rayleigh shows great respect for their captain, like Roger, and shed a tear for Whitebeard's passing.

   Advertisement Relationships Roger Pirates Rayleigh's relationship with most of the Roger Pirates is unknown. However, he had a close relationship with his captain, Gol D. Roger. He later became the first mate of the Oro Jackson, the ship of the man who would conquer the Grand Line and be crowned by the world as the Pirate King. Though he was close comrades with them, he tended to be exasperated with their antics, such as them attacking the Kuja Pirates to abduct Shakky, only to be easily defeated by them.

   Gol D. Roger Rayleigh had a very close friendship with Roger, being his first mate and having known each other for many decades, to the point where he was called 'partner' by the Pirate King. After the man gave himself to the Marines, Rayleigh was unable to bring himself to directly witness the execution of his closest friend. He toasted a drink to the man with both tears and laughter as the blades passed and downed a glass as his first act in the Great Pirate Era.

   Buggy and Shanks Buggy and Shanks' repeated bickering with each other often led to them being punished by Rayleigh. Despite that, Buggy and Shanks still have much respect for the former first mate of the crew.

   Rayleigh was aware that Buggy was a pirate in the East Blue, which means he kept tabs on him. Twelve years ago, after Shanks saved Luffy from being eaten by the Lord of the Coast, Shanks reunited with Rayleigh at Sabaody Archipelago and told him about Luffy, which made Rayleigh curious to meet the boy.

   Crocus He seems to appreciate Crocus for maintaining the Pirate King's health during their voyage in the New World. Despite the doctor's brief time with them, Rayleigh considers him a valued crewmate and expressed a desire to see him again.

   Kouzuki Oden Like the rest of the crew, he held Oden in high regard. Rayleigh wanted to help him make Wano Country open to the rest of the world, though Oden declined the offer.

   Advertisement Family Shakuyaku Rayleigh uncomfortable with Shakuyaku's affection in the past. Rayleigh uncomfortable with Shakuyaku's affection in the past.

   Rayleigh has known Shakuyaku for over 44 years, as she was the Kuja Pirates' First Mate, with his crew often squabbling with the Kuja in attempts to get her to join the Roger Pirates. He was the only one among the crew who did not make a fool of himself in her presence, which Shakuyaku took notice of, and she took a liking to him.[14] Roughly 2 years after this encounter, Rayleigh became aware of Shakuyaku's feelings for him when he was given a love letter from her telling him to come and get her. However, Rayleigh abstained from pursuing a relationship, and while Roger found out and was angered, Rayleigh admitted that though he was interested, he merely did not want to be tied down.

   40 years ago, when the crew went to Shakky's Rip-off Bar, Rayleigh chose to remain on the ship while the rest of the crew went to visit her. The following year after learning Shakuyaku was kidnapped, Rayleigh was notably distressed, but when he and the rest of the crew learned that she was captured as a slave on God Valley, Rayleigh and the rest of the crew passionately set out to rescue her. Upon rescuing her from Shepherd Sommers, Rayleigh embraced Shakuyaku and broke into tears, relieved that she was safe.

   At some point after the disbandment of the Roger Pirates and Shakuyaku's retirement from pirate life, Rayleigh and Shakuyaku settled down together, becoming business partners and a married couple.[10] When he had gone missing for the previous six months before her introduction, she was not worried because she knew what Rayleigh was capable of. Shakky and Rayleigh are in an open marriage, as she casually mentioned Rayleigh's relationships with other women without being bothered by it.[15] Upon meeting Luffy, she informed him of the other major pirates that had arrived on the island around the same time as him. She then told them that they might find Rayleigh at Sabaody Park. After the Straw Hat Pirates returned from the Human Auctioning House, where they found Rayleigh, he and the entire Straw Hat crew gathered at Shakky's bar. Rayleigh trusts her implicitly, and he knows her qualities. With her deductions, Rayleigh managed to find Luffy after the war.

   Friends Hatchan Hatchan is friends with Silvers Rayleigh after saving the pirate from a shipwreck as a child. Since then, the two were on good terms, but Rayleigh disapproved of Hatchan joining Fisher Tiger's Sun Pirates.[16]

   Advertisement Straw Hat Pirates After meeting them during the Celestial Dragon Hit-and-Run Incident, Rayleigh assisted the Straw Hat Pirates on several occasions. He coated the Thousand Sunny for free, and he also defended the crew from Kizaru. After the Straw Hats got back together two years after the Summit War of Marineford, he taught Nami the technicalities of sailing a coated ship. When the Marines pursued the crew, Rayleigh helped the Straw Hats escape.

   Monkey D. Luffy Rayleigh and Luffy bonding during the timeskip. Rayleigh and Luffy bonding during the timeskip.

   Ever since Rayleigh had heard about Luffy from Shanks, he had wanted to meet him face-to-face. When Luffy found him on the Sabaody Archipelago, he was excited about hearing stories about Gol D. Roger. The more they talked, the more amused Rayleigh felt as he compared Luffy's demeanor to his old captain, just as Shanks had. He, like Shakky, has great expectations for him after Luffy stated his belief that the Pirate King has the most freedom on the sea. After the war at Marineford, he swam across the Calm Belt to reach Amazon Lily, where Luffy had been recuperating from his injuries and from the loss of Ace. From there, he helped Luffy break into Marineford with Jinbe in order for him to send the secret message to his crew. Rayleigh also mentored Luffy on how to master all three different forms of Haki over the course of a year and a half. Luffy strongly respected Rayleigh as a teacher, as he was even willing to endure hunger as punishment.[17]

   After the two-year timeskip, it is apparent that both of them became close from their training together. As he headed towards the Thousand Sunny, Luffy shouted to Rayleigh that he would become the Pirate King, leaving Rayleigh with a smile and tears in his eyes. Rayleigh himself later proudly proclaimed Luffy as his pupil to the Marines. When Luffy set sail, Rayleigh compared his late captain to Luffy, claiming that destiny is slowly but surely taking shape and that Luffy has become a man well fit to wear that Straw Hat.

   Jinbe Rayleigh also seems to have developed a friendship with the former Warlord of the Sea, Jinbe. At first, Jinbe could not believe his eyes when he saw Rayleigh in Amazon Lily. He took part in stealing a Marine ship, circling around Marineford, and the ringing of the Ox Bell.

   Boa Hancock Due to her hellish experience at the hands of the World Nobles, Hancock has a bitter hatred towards all men. However, Rayleigh is one of the few exceptions to this hatred because of his relationship with Shakuyaku and previously helping Hancock and her sisters return to Amazon Lily after their escape from Mary Geoise. While her sisters were shocked to see Rayleigh on Amazon Lily, Hancock remained single-minded about Luffy, only realizing later that Rayleigh was there. Hancock also permitted him to stay in Amazon Lily. Later, after parting ways with Jinbe, Hancock took Luffy and Rayleigh to Rusukaina Island for Luffy's special training. She said she would bring food for Luffy every day from Amazon Lily. When Rayleigh told her that no women would be allowed on the island during Luffy's training, she was furious but calmed down when Rayleigh told her that it was all for Luffy's own good. After the abolition of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, both he and Shakuyaku would go to Amazon Lily to help out the Kuja, where he would run into Blackbeard attacking the island and make a deal with him and the Marines for Hancock to reverse the effect of her Devil Fruit ability, and then everyone would leave afterwards.[18]

   Advertisement Gloriosa Gloriosa is good friends with Rayleigh and Shakky, with the latter being her First Mate. In the past, the Kuja Pirates and the Roger Pirates clashed due to their attempts to get Shakky to become one of their crewmates. Roughly four years before the God Valley Incident, Gloriosa joined the Rocks Pirates, making them enemies on opposing crews. However, she and Rayleigh eventually became close friends, as he is one of the few people who refer to her by her birth name, Gloriosa. Before her return to Amazon Lily, Gloriosa lived with Rayleigh and Shakky on Sabaody Archipelago while sheltering the Gorgon Sisters after their escape from the World Nobles.

   Enemies World Government Rayleigh is an enemy of the World Government. He is one of the few people who know the true history and was willing to tell Robin about the Void Century, but she denied wanting to know further. The government considers such people a great threat.

   Marines In the past, Rayleigh and the other Roger Pirates encountered several Marines, especially Monkey D. Garp. The fact that he was a member of one of the strongest pirate crews made him a formidable enemy of the Marines. When Rayleigh fought Kizaru, he told him that if he were to get rid of his wanted poster, he could go into peaceful retirement. This means that Rayleigh still has an active bounty, though the amount has yet to be revealed. Kizaru replied that Rayleigh's bounty cannot simply be forgotten, as being a pirate, especially a member of the Roger Pirates, carries the crimes throughout one's entire life.[8]

   Whitebeard Pirates As a member of the Roger Pirates, Rayleigh had a rivalry with the Whitebeard Pirates. Nevertheless, as with his captain, Rayleigh has great respect for Edward Newgate and even shed a tear for the man's death at the pinnacle of the Summit War of Marineford.

   Chinjao Chinjao apparently holds a grudge against Rayleigh, as when Luffy reveals Rayleigh is the one who taught him to control Haki, Chinjao expressed displeasure to know the Pirate King's right hand still lives.[19]

   Blackbeard Even when Rayleigh first met Marshall D. Teach years ago back when he was still a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, while both the Roger and Whitebeard Pirates were rivals, despite Rayleigh having some respect for Whitebeard's crew, Teach was the only member on that crew whom Rayleigh despised. This hatred would grow, not only for Blackbeard's actions in killing his former captain but also for stealing Whitebeard's powers and claiming his territories for his own. Rayleigh continued to despise Blackbeard even more after the latter invaded Amazon Lily and tried to kill Boa Hancock. While Rayleigh was successful in scaring off the Emperor and foiling his plan, Rayleigh admitted he would not win if he had fought Blackbeard head on.

   Due to Teach's original role as an apprentice pirate on the Whitebeard Pirates, Rayleigh mockingly called him "Whitebeard's Cabin Boy" when he confronted the latter at Amazon Lily.

   Abilities and Powers “ Awesome... the Pirate King's crew can defeat a monster like that without touching it. ” — Luffy after witnessing Rayleigh's Haki.[20]

   As the "Right Hand of the Pirate King", Rayleigh is considered a living legend[21] and one of the strongest pirates in history, said to be comparable to his late captain Roger and his crewmate Scopper Gaban in his prime.[22] A man of worldwide renown, Rayleigh is famous among pirates and civilians alike, with Sanji even commenting about the widespread knowledge of his name. During his youth, Rayleigh has faced and survived countless confrontations against extremely powerful and dangerous adversaries in his own right, such as the Rocks Pirates, the Marines, and the Whitebeard Pirates, making him a true veteran and one of the most experienced pirates in the world. Rayleigh was strong enough to knock a Knight of God flying into a wall with one attack during the Incident of God Valley.[23]

   Despite his old age, Shakuyaku stated that he was "100 times stronger" than all of the Super Rookies by the time they first arrived on the Sabaody Archipelago.[24] In his younger days, Rayleigh fought alongside his crew in battles against powerful adversaries like the Marines, Whitebeard Pirates, and Rocks Pirates, making him a true veteran and one of the most experienced pirates in the world. He also commanded the rest of Roger's crew as his first mate and held several duties, like supervising his subordinates, including the young apprentices Buggy and Shanks.

   When Vice Admiral Garp was informed that Rayleigh may be on the Sabaody Archipelago, he told his men not to confront him, nor should Fleet Admiral Sengoku be informed. Garp reasoned that the Marines should not confront two legends, Whitebeard and Rayleigh, at the same time and even admitted that if the Marines were to make an honest attempt at capturing Rayleigh, they would need to do serious preparation if they did not want to lose countless soldiers in the attempt, a true testament to his extraordinary strength.[25] His reputation alone was enough to have Blackbeard, one of the Four Emperors who had spent two years mastering the Yami Yami no Mi and the Gura Gura no Mi, retreat from Amazon Lily.[26]

   Rayleigh's immense battle prowess allowed him to fight on par with Admiral Kizaru, preventing him from attacking the Straw Hat Pirates. However, he himself has admitted that he is not as young as he used to be and, as a result, can tire in battle.[27] He also stated that due to his old age, he would likely be incapable of defeating Blackbeard.[26] This implies that when he was in the prime of his strength, he might have been able to beat Admiral Kizaru and pose a serious threat to Blackbeard. Kizaru himself acknowledged that the World Government would have to do more than just send him, a battalion of Marines, and a unit of Pacifistas so they could actually have a chance of capturing or killing the Dark King.

   Rayleigh is also an expert in the coating business, as he performs such operations for various pirate ships heading down to Fish-Man Island,[28] and he understands the workings of deep-sea currents.[29]

   Advertisement Intelligence Rayleigh has an extremely crafty and cunning mentality; he has managed to evade the grasp of the expansive World Government for over 20 years and quickly learned to exploit the slave-trading business on Sabaody Archipelago for personal gain (getting himself caught and sold to a wealthy bidder before escaping and robbing his "master"). Calm and level-headed at virtually any and all times, he was the individual to break up arguments and disputes aboard the Oro Jackson as first mate and the right-hand man to Gol D. Roger himself.

   Rayleigh knows the "true history" of the world from his time with Roger. However, he has also stated that, as a pirate crew lacking the archaeological knowledge of scholars of Ohara's caliber, they could have interpreted that information differently than the Ohara scholars.[30] However, this is questionable given the Roger Pirates had Kouzuki Oden, who possessed the knowledge on how to read and write the language on the Poneglyphs.

   Another noticeable trait of Rayleigh is his incredible perceptive and deductive capability. This is shown when he was (within a matter of moments) easily able to deduce what had happened after ending up on the slave auction stage on the Sabaody Archipelago.

   Rayleigh is also good at intimidation and false threats; by using his legendary reputation, he could intimidate both the Marines and Blackbeard Pirates into obediently leaving Amazon Lily, including Blackbeard himself, who had grown more powerful than Rayleigh, into giving up on stealing Boa Hancock's Devil Fruit.

   Rayleigh is a very capable teacher; in a year and a half, he taught Luffy all the basics of Haki and how to better utilize his Devil Fruit, allowing Luffy to use Gear 2 and Gear 3 without their side effects and create Gear 4. Luffy would also remember Rayleigh's lessons to help him master advanced levels of Haki. This would all greatly contribute to Luffy's rise as one of the Four Emperors a few months after completing his training under Rayleigh.

   Physical Abilities Rayleigh possesses immense physical strength despite his elderly age. He was capable of killing several Sea Kings with his bare hands even after swimming to Amazon Lily from outside the Calm Belt.[31] In the anime, he could throw bullets with extreme force and accuracy to destroy cannonballs fired at him.[32]

   Rayleigh is extremely fast and possesses extraordinary reflexes. When removing Camie's exploding collar, he patiently calculated the time when the collar released itself and quickly tossed it away before it detonated.[33] He could also intercept Kizaru's attack when the admiral was about to kill Roronoa Zoro,[34] and also managed to keep up with his light-enhanced speed.[35]

   Advertisement Swordsmanship Rayleigh is a tremendously skilled and powerful swordsman with decades of combat experience since his time with the Roger Pirates. He was able to fight on equal grounds with Admiral Kizaru, who himself is a highly skilled swordsman when wielding his Ama no Murakumo, and managed to cut and draw blood from the admiral's face by combining Armament Haki with his swordsmanship. This is even more impressive given that Rayleigh has not used his sword in quite a while due to being retired.[36] He can also create powerful compressed air slashes, as shown when he cut the ground to prevent Marines from chasing after Luffy.[37]

   Techniques Rayleigh using Higanbana. Rayleigh using Higanbana.

   Higanbana (彼岸刃鉈ひがんばな, Higanbana?, lit. "Opposite Shore, Blade Hatchet"): Rayleigh crosses his arms with his sword in his right hand, then swings his arms open while slashing with his blade. This attack was first used against Shepherd Sommers, who was sent flying through a wall as a result of being hit.[23] The name of the technique is pun on higanbana (彼岸花?), the Japanese name of the red spider lily; in Japanese Buddhism, higan (彼岸?) is both a holiday celebrated around the autumnal equinox (which involves the planting of red spider lilies) and a term that refers to attaining nirvana. In the VIZ translation, the technique is called Spider Lily Steel. Non-Canon Techniques Meio no Issen (冥王の一閃, Meiō no Issen?, lit.

"Dark King's Pierce"): Rayleigh lunges forward and thrusts his sword into his opponent, while also generating a massive shockwave with his sword in the process. In One Piece Bounty Rush, this is the Skill 2 of the "Pirate King's Right Hand" Rayleigh unit. It is called The Dark King's Lunge in the English release.

   Advertisement Haki Main article: Haki Rayleigh is one of the very few people in the world who can use all three types of Haki. He is also a capable teacher, as he taught Luffy about each type of Haki and trained him in the basics.[12]

   Supreme King Haki Rayleigh using Supreme King Haki. Rayleigh using Supreme King Haki.

   Rayleigh possesses immense mastery in the usage of Supreme King Haki, a rare form of Haki that only one in several million people in the world can use. His level of skill is enough to render a specific target or entire crowds completely unconscious, as shown when he knocked out Rosward Shalria before disabling an entire hall room full of hostiles.[38] Rayleigh's Supreme King Haki was at least twice as potent as Luffy's by the time of the Fish-Man Island Arc; Rayleigh could have knocked out all 100,000 of the New Fish-Man Pirates opposing the Straw Hats, whereas Luffy overwhelmed only half that.[39] Most notably, he is among the small "handful" of users who are capable of using the advanced application of this type of Haki, able to "infuse" his body or objects with Supreme King Haki to increase his attack power, signified by thin streams of black lightning emanating from his body.[18] In the anime, he visibly infuses his sword with this Haki along with his body with notable lightning that incapacitates several Blackbeard Pirates in the area.

   Armament Haki Rayleigh is a master of Armament Haki, which allowed him to kick and redirect an attack from Kizaru,[40] and hurt Luffy with a simple flick.[12] He is able to imbue his Haki into certain parts of his body or objects to harden them[17] and emit his Haki, an advanced application, to repel and injure opponents without touching them directly.[12] He is also able to use a high-grade version of this technique, in which he channels his Haki into his opponent or objects and destroys his opponent or objects from the inside out.[33]

   In the anime, when Rayleigh uses advanced Armament Haki, it is shown as a red-colored flowing aura. In the anime, he was able to block a kick from Marco in his hybrid form with a single Armament-coated finger.[41]

   Observation Haki Rayleigh is a master of Observation Haki. He could sense that there were five hundred creatures on Rusukaina who were stronger than Luffy before his training had begun and used it to dodge an elephant's attack with his eyes closed.[12] When he arrived at Amazon Lily, Rayleigh was able to sense that Luffy was on the island.[42] He also has knowledge of the advanced application of this type of Haki and how high-level users can see into the future.[43]

   Advertisement Weapons Rayleigh's first sword. Rayleigh's first sword.

   Rayleigh possesses a double-edged straight sword, with a cross hilt and a large round pommel, roughly half as long as his body height. When he defended Luffy from the Marines, he used a katana, which he keeps in a sheath.

   History Past Rayleigh and Roger's first meeting. Rayleigh and Roger's first meeting.

   During his youth, Rayleigh stole a ship due to his house burning down and needing a place to live. Sometime after that, he met Gol D. Roger, who was impressed by the ship. Roger said that it was a fated meeting and asked Rayleigh to join him. Rayleigh simply laughed at his invitation and declined his offer.[44] Despite his initial refusal, Rayleigh later engaged in piracy and became first mate of the Roger Pirates.

   Around 44 years ago, the Roger Pirates attacked the Kuja Pirates, with the goal of having Shakuyaku join them. Unfortunately, everyone, save for Rayleigh, was too lovestruck by her to actually fight, leading to her easily subduing nearly the entire crew. Rayleigh was left annoyed as Shakky had her subordinates steal their treasure, although his composure was broken by a bit of her flirting toward him. While the Kuja attempted to make off with the treasure, Gaban spotted Garp's ship in the distance, forcing the Kuja to flee from the incoming threat. While they did so, Roger rallied his men in preparation for a fight.[14]

   42 years ago, sometime following one of their usual "battles" with the Kuja Pirates, Rayleigh met privately with Roger to discuss Shakky, who had just quit her crew. Roger mentioned that Shakky had seemed sick, to which Rayleigh revealed that he had received a love letter from her telling him to come and get her. Roger was enraged by Rayleigh's lack of interest in Shakky, forcing Rayleigh to try to justify it as simply not wanting to be tied down. Unfortunately, it was not enough, and the whole interaction ended up putting Roger into a sulk.

   Sometime after, news reached the crew that Shakky had settled down on Hachinosu. With encouragement from his crew, Roger snapped out of his bad mood and declared that they would sail to find her. Come 40 years ago, they did. Under the excuse of not feeling well, Rayleigh remained on the ship and sang "Binks' Sake", while the rest of the crew went to visit Shakky. His lack of a presence ended up greatly disappointing her and caused her to faint.[45] A year later, Shakky was abducted from Hachinosu, the news of which distressed Rayleigh and the rest of the crew.

   Rayleigh rescuing Shakky. Rayleigh rescuing Shakky.

   38 years ago, after learning that she was to be given away as a slave on God Valley, Rayleigh and the rest of the crew promptly set out to rescue her.[46] The Roger Pirates clashed with the Rocks Pirates and the Knights of God, taking part in what would later be known as the God Valley Incident.[47] During said incident, Rayleigh was given the go-ahead by Roger to be the one to rescue Shakky. His timing proved ideal, as Shepherd Sommers, one of the Knights of God, was preparing to kill her at that moment. Rayleigh quickly attacked Sommers and pushed him into a wall before he could do so, successfully saving Shakky's life. Afterward, Rayleigh apologized for not having sought her out sooner, and the two tearfully embraced. Before they could share intimate words, however, Roger and Gaban reminded them of the precarious situation outside, forcing them to flee.[23] As they fled, Rayleigh attempted to tell her something, but Shakky hushed him, having already known what it was.[48] After dropping Shakky off at their ship, Rayleigh and Gaban rushed back inland to assist Roger and Garp.[49]

   By the time they arrived, the fight was already over, with all three of the combatants downed. While the Knights of God finished off Rocks, Rayleigh and Gaban made off with Roger and Garp, successfully rescuing the pair. After dropping off Garp with the Marines and escaping the collapsing island, the Roger Pirates successfully got away with all of their objectives completed on God Valley. Sometime later, while spending time with Shakky, Roger became well enough to finally open the treasure they secured. However, to everyone's shock, a baby Shanks was present in one of the treasure chests.[50][51]

   28 years before the current storyline, Roger fell ill from an incurable disease, leading the crew to take one final journey together and venture into the Grand Line together. At some point, Rayleigh scolded Buggy and Shanks for constantly arguing over whether the North Pole or South Pole was colder and shortly after joined the rest of the crew in a battle against an unnamed enemy ship.[1]

   In the New World at Edd War, Buggy panicked at the potential conflict between two infamous pirate crews: the Roger Pirates and the Golden Lion Pirates. Rayleigh was present, and he held Buggy back, telling him not to worry. When Roger rejected Shiki's offer to become his right-hand man, Rayleigh prepared for battle along with the other Roger Pirates. A battle between the two crews ensued, and a change in the weather allowed the Roger Pirates to sink half of Shiki's ships.[52]

   At some point 26 years ago, the Roger Pirates were causing a ruckus on an island. After defeating a group of Marines, they learned that the Whitebeard Pirates docked on the other side of the island.[53] The Roger Pirates were then confronted by Kouzuki Oden. Rayleigh and Scopper Gaban prepared to fight him, but Roger charged in and blew Oden away with a single slash. The Roger Pirates clashed with the Whitebeard Pirates for three days. After the battle, the crews formed a truce and exchanged gifts. The Roger Pirates were later joined by Oden and his family as well as Inuarashi and Nekomamushi. At some point, the Roger Pirates visited Skypiea.[54]

   After leaving Skypiea, the crew's voyage took them to Water 7, one of the Wolf bridges, Sabaody Archipelago, and Fish-Man Island. Sometime later, they left Kouzuki Toki, Momonosuke, Hiyori, Inuarashi, and Nekomamushi at Wano Country. Sometime after the visit to Zou, the Roger Pirates finally reached Laugh Tale.[55]

   A year before his death, Roger disbanded the crew in secret. Roger was the first to leave, and the crew tearfully parted ways with him. They later returned Oden to Wano Country, and they bid farewell to him as well.[56]

   Before he handed himself over to the Marines, Roger told Rayleigh that he would not die. Unwilling to watch the execution of his closest friend, Rayleigh toasted a drink to the man with a laugh as the blades passed and downed a glass as his first act in the Great Pirate Era.[57] Rayleigh stated that he laughed (and cried and drank) nonetheless upon hearing the message that Roger had left the world.

   Sometime later, Rayleigh was saved by a young Hatchan from drowning in a shipwreck. Since then, Rayleigh has been on good terms with Hachi. He, along with Shakuyaku and Nyon, also helped protect the Gorgon Sisters after their escape from slavery from the World Nobles. Eventually, Rayleigh became a coating mechanic on Sabaody Archipelago and, at some point, married Shakuyaku.[10]

   When news of Shiki's escape reached Rayleigh, he remarked on it and wondered what Shiki was up to.[52]

   12 years prior to the series, Rayleigh met his former apprentice Shanks again and noticed the latter lost his arm and his hat. Rayleigh asked him what occurred as he told him of a boy that he met in the East Blue who had the same passion as his former captain. Intrigued, Rayleigh desired to meet this boy someday.[58]

   He had been missing for six months prior to Luffy's arrival on the archipelago.[59]

   Summit War Saga Sabaody Archipelago Arc Rayleigh let himself be captured to be sold as a slave, and when the mermaid Camie was brought into the Human Auctioning House, Rayleigh discreetly used Supreme King Haki to knock out Disco, although his fellow slave Stansen recognized what he did.[60] As an auction took place, Rayleigh broke out of his cell and stole the money that people had bid for their slaves before making his way to the auction stage. There, he saw Hatchan and ascertained that he and his allies, the Straw Hat Pirates, had attacked a World Noble to save Camie. Rayleigh then unleashed Supreme King Haki, knocking out most of the people in the auction hall, and he recognized Monkey D. Luffy, saying he had wanted to meet the Straw Hat captain.[61]

   Rayleigh then grabbed Camie's exploding collar and ripped it off, tossing it aside before it could explode. He surveyed the room and saw that the Kid Pirates and Heart Pirates, along with the Straw Hats, had survived his Haki blast, and he then turned his attention to Hatchan, thanking the Straw Hats for protecting him. The pirates then headed out of the auction hall, and Rayleigh told the Straw Hats to meet him at Grove 13 later.[33] After the three pirate crews had fought through the Marines laying siege to the auction house, Rayleigh was able to run off with Hatchan.[62]

He then revealed to the Straw Hats what had really happened to Roger, and they talked about Crocus and Shanks.[63] Nico Robin then asked Rayleigh about the Void Century and Roger's writing on the Poneglyph in Skypiea but opted to continue researching for herself after Rayleigh warned about how she might use the information. Usopp then asked if the One Piece existed, but was stopped by Luffy, who wanted to discover the One Piece for himself. Rayleigh asked Luffy if he really intended to conquer the New World, as Luffy states he will become the freest man on the sea if he is Pirate King. Rayleigh was impressed by his ideology, seeing the similarities to Roger like Shanks saw. Rayleigh then went to coat the Straw Hats' ship, not charging them anything in return for them helping Hatchan, and gave them his Vivre Card, telling them to find him in three days.[30]

   A short time later, Marine Admiral Kizaru came and attacked the Straw Hats, but before he could kill Roronoa Zoro, Rayleigh came in and intercepted him.[64] Rayleigh tried to see if Kizaru would leave the Straw Hats alone, but Kizaru would not abandon his mission. The Straw Hats immediately started running away, and Kizaru attempted to go after them, but Rayleigh stopped him with a sword.[65] As Rayleigh sparred with Kizaru, he witnessed Warlord of the Sea Bartholomew Kuma joining some Pacifistas who were attacking the Straw Hats and saw as Kuma made the Straw Hats disappear. Kuma then went to Rayleigh and revealed that he was an officer of the Revolutionary Army and was acting to help the Straw Hats escape.[66] Rayleigh watched as Kuma then transported the remaining Straw Hats off the island.[67]

   Post-War Arc After the Summit War of Marineford, Rayleigh set off on a ship to Amazon Lily. However, before he could even reach the Calm Belt, his ship sank in a storm and thus forced him to swim the rest of the way to the island. He killed several Sea Kings when he was getting closer to the shore of the island, something which surprised and almost frightened the Heart Pirates who were watching from the shore. When he got to the shore, he remembered Trafalgar Law from the Sabaody Archipelago and told them he thought Luffy was on the island.

   He saw Luffy and Jinbe coming toward him. When Luffy asked about his crew, Rayleigh said he doubted they were all back yet. After telling Luffy that Law said to take it easy for another two weeks, he proceeded to greet Nyon, Boa Hancock, and her sisters, whom he had met 13 years ago; he had protected them when they had escaped from the Celestial Dragons. Elder Nyon is an old friend of his, and Rayleigh passed on a message from Shakky. He reassured them that the Marines would not even think to look for Luffy on Amazon Lily and that he was completely safe there.

   Rayleigh recalled what Kuma whispered to him back on the archipelago. He explained that Kuma told him about the general direction in which he sent Luffy, which happened to lead right to Amazon Lily. After going back through the events of the war with Shakky, she was able to surmise (correctly on all three accounts) that Boa Hancock was hiding Luffy on her home island, that she was doing so out of love for Luffy, and also as a means of hiding him from the Marines. Rayleigh commented that a woman's intuition was a truly frightening thing. He said he would get to the main reason he came to find Luffy. Rayleigh asked him if he wanted to return to Sabaody, and Luffy replied yes. Rayleigh reminded him of what happened there before, saying that gathering his crew there again would lead to the same result as before. He started to propose an idea he has to Luffy, giving him the choice of rejecting it if he so chooses.[69]

   He infiltrated Marineford with Luffy and Jinbe and took part in stealing a Marine ship and circling Marineford once with it. He was on the Perfume Yuda, with two Kuja Pirates pulling on his cheek. He told Luffy that his crew most likely got the meaning of his message, due to its abnormal nature, and said that he had a hunch that the others would understand the message.[70]

   He and Luffy went to Rusukaina for special training. Rayleigh told Hancock that none of the Kujas are allowed on the island during the training and that if she was worried, then she should pray for Luffy. Once the Kuja Pirates left, Rayleigh began Luffy's training by mentioning that the island was once inhabited, but the chaotic climate changes and the ferocious nature of the wildlife eventually killed all the natives. As a wild elephant came charging at them, Rayleigh explained the basic concepts of Haki, using the elephant as a demonstration for them. Rayleigh told Luffy that there are three kinds of Haki: Observation Haki, Armament Haki, and Supreme King Haki. He used Observation Haki to dodge the elephant's attack and used Armament Haki to repel the elephant. When Luffy started to understand Haki, Rayleigh subdued the elephant using the Supreme King Haki.

   The two began training on the island. Luffy realized that he had seen these techniques before in some form or another during his adventures. Rayleigh hoped to use those two years to teach him the basics of controlling the different types of Haki, as it would take longer with a normal person.[12]

When Luffy was attacking blindly, he accidentally hit Rayleigh's dinner, causing him to hit Luffy out of anger and annoyance as Luffy sensed his emotions. During a later conversation, Rayleigh remarked on how Luffy was proficient in sensing the feelings of living things. He also mentioned that there are people who can see a glimpse into the future with Observation Haki and asked Luffy what would he do if he met one of these people.[43]

   After teaching Luffy the basics of Haki, Rayleigh informed him that Haki can grow stronger when facing stronger foes.[72]

   Rayleigh met Nami, Robin, Franky, Chopper, and Usopp on the Thousand Sunny. He informed them that Luffy had arrived on the island and is about to teach Nami on how to operate a coated ship. He told her to move the ship to Grove 42 and to wait until everyone assembled, saying it was finally time to restart.[74] Rayleigh went to Grove 46 to check up on Luffy. He also commented on how Luffy strengthened his Haki.

   After Luffy had declared that he would be the Pirate King, Rayleigh smiled with tears in his eyes.[75] As the Marines begin their pursuit, Rayleigh drew a line on the ground with his sword and warned the Marines not to cross it, declaring that Luffy is his student. By doing so, he bought some extra time for the Straw Hat Pirates to escape to Fish-Man Island.[76]

   Once the Straw Hats left, he revealed in a conversation with Shakky that a previous owner of Luffy's straw hat was in fact, Roger. After reminiscing about the day, he first met Roger, Rayleigh started tearing up and commented that Luffy is a man worthy of that hat. Rayleigh added that it is not a bad idea to live a little longer.[77]

When Vegapunk declared that the Roger Pirates had already discovered the full truth decades earlier, Rayleigh chastised Vegapunk for not letting the younger generation figure it out themselves.[80] As the broadcast neared its end, Rayleigh passed out drunk at the bar, so Shakky draped a blanket over him.[81]

   In the past, Gaban was a tall, well-built man with long black hair, with two thin strands of hair falling over his face. he initially wore a yellow t-shirt with two orange blotch-like patterns on the right side, blue pants, and a purple sash. He then wore a purple shirt, orange pants, and a pale-yellow sash. Personality Gaban can be very quick to get to the point, as he proposed stopping the rampaging Kouzuki Oden early on before the samurai could cause more damage to the crew.[11] He was also the first to voice the crew's dissatisfaction towards Oden after the latter joined the Roger Pirates. Gaban does not seem to care for small talk, cutting Neptune off when he started talking about Shyarly's popularity across Fish-Man Island.[12] Gaban has also wandered the world from time to time, being a navigator, and went to see Crocus at Twin Cape at one point.

   He is proud of his strength, as he considered himself the second strongest of the Roger Pirates after his captain; even when critically wounded and in the midst of a chaotic siege, when the New Giant Warrior Pirates considered him the third strongest under Rayleigh, he struggled to correct them as the second strongest.

   In his older years, Gaban has shown an amorous side, declaring that "love is free" and introducing himself as the "Preacher of Love" (愛の伝導師, Ai no Dendōshi?) to the Straw Hat Pirates.[13] In his youth, Gaban was one of those who were quick to fall victim to Shakky's charms, like his late captain. He is also highly mischievous, showing great excitement at other people causing trouble and insisting that secrets should be spread instead of being kept. Despite his playful nature, he can adopt an intimidating expression and attack.[14]

   Gaban is family-oriented, as he considered the Roger Pirates apprentices to be their sons and also cherished Ripley and Colon. He also encouraged Loki to confide the truth of Harald's death to Hajrudin; despite being half brothers and having various issues between them, they are still family by blood.

   Gaban acknowledges Haki as a power that requires being understood and tamed and criticizes Roronoa Zoro for not taking notice of possessing Supreme King Haki, believing that someone who serves one of the Four Emperors should be more meticulous.[15]

   Relationships Roger Pirates Gaban's relationship with most of the Roger Pirates is unknown. However, it is stated that he was very close with his captain, Gol D. Roger, as well as his crewmate Silvers Rayleigh, as Rayleigh is always stated to be the Right Hand of the Pirate King, and Gaban is stated to be the Left Hand of the Pirate King.

   Gol D. Roger As a longtime member of the Roger Pirates, Gaban understands Roger better than most and knows it is pointless to convince him to run from an enemy.[2] He would often act as the voice of reason for the more impulsive and headstrong Roger, who would argue back by provoking Gaban.

   Gaban seems to hold his captain to a high standard, even trying to stop him from bowing his head to Whitebeard so he would not look weak in front of his rival.[16] In fact, Gaban earned his epithet after protecting his captain during a massive pirate attack as a testament to his loyalty.

   Shanks Gaban hugs Shanks. Gaban hugs Shanks.

   Due to his crew having found Shanks as a baby, Gaban greatly cares for Shanks like a son. The two are close to the point that Gaban has physically consoled Shanks when the latter felt shame around the events of his birth and voiced his belief that everyone, especially Shanks, had a purpose in life.[17] Even decades after the disbandment of the Roger Pirates, Gaban and Shanks are still close, as Shanks visited Gaban on Elbaph fourteen years ago to reminisce on old times. In the present, he even tried to persuade Gaban into putting his faith into Luffy, though Gaban was initially reserved about meeting Luffy.[18]

   Crocus Even decades after the disbandment of the Roger Pirates, Gaban and Crocus seem to be on friendly terms, as Gaban went all the way to the Twin Cape just to visit Crocus.

   Silvers Rayleigh While it's currently unknown how close the two actually are in the present, Gaban and Rayleigh are shown in the past to be on friendly terms. However, even in current times, Gaban insists that he is the second strongest of the crew when others believe him to be the third strongest (behind Rayleigh and Roger).

   Around 44 years ago, Scopper Gaban was already a member of the Roger Pirates and assisted in an attack on the Kuja Pirates, with the goal of having Shakuyaku join them. Unfortunately, they were all far too lovestruck by her to actually fight, leading to her easily subduing Gaban, Gol D. Roger, and the rest of the crew with ease. While the Kuja attempted to make off with their treasure, Gaban spotted Monkey D. Garp's ship in the distance, forcing the Kuja to flee from the incoming threat. While they did so, Roger rallied his men in preparation for a fight.[34]

   42 years ago, following the announcement that Shakuyaku retired from piracy and made residence on Hachinosu, Gaban met with Silvers Rayleigh and pondered what he and Roger discussed in his quarters, as he noted Roger was sulking following the interaction. Though their spirits were raised once Roger declared that they would sail to find her. Come 40 years ago, they did as Gaban and the rest of the crew drank with the Rocks Pirates.[35]

   38 years ago, after learning that Shakky was kidnapped as a slave on God Valley, Gaban and the crew sailed to the island to rescue her and were present in what would be known as the God Valley Incident. Alongside his captain Roger and Rayleigh, he was ready to engage in combat.[36][37] After Rayleigh successfully saved Shakky, Gaban and the rest of the crew went to collect a large pile of treasure and Devil Fruits, leading to him briefly clashing with Ganzui.[38] Roger then gave Gaban the order to supply backup to the rest of the crew and make off with the rest of the treasure. However, Gaban felt his axes nearly being pulled away from him by John's magnet powers, attempting to warn Roger, though he pushed forward.[39] As Gaban made his way to the Oro Jackson, he was surprised by Gloriosa's presence as she requested a ride on their ship. Shortly after, he and Rayleigh rushed back inland to assist Roger and Garp.[40]

   By the time they arrived, the fight was already over, with all 3 of the combatants downed. While the Knights of God finished off Rocks, Rayleigh and Gaban made off with Roger and Garp, successfully rescuing the pair. After dropping off Garp with the Marines and escaping the collapsing island, the Roger Pirates successfully got away with all of their objectives on God Valley. Sometime later, Roger became well enough to finally open the treasure they secured. However, to everyone's shock, a baby Shanks was present in one of the treasure chests.[41][42]

   Picking up Shanks was not without consequence. The Knights of God attempted multiple times to reclaim him from the Roger Pirates; however, Gaban was able to assist in thwarting them each time. It was during one of these confrontations where he met Shepherd Sommers.[43]

   Gaban earns his epithet. Gaban earns his epithet.

   At some point when Roger needed to recover at a hospital in the mountains, he and Gaban were surrounded by enemy pirates. Gaban proceeded to defeat them all with his two axes and cut down every tree on the mountain, which earned him the epithet "Mountain-Eater."[5] Over 27 years ago, Gaban and the Roger Pirates took part in a battle against an unnamed enemy ship, enthusiastically fighting off the enemies.[1]

   Gaban was present with the rest of the Roger Pirates in the sea known as Edd War, where they were confronted by Shiki, the captain of the Golden Lion Pirates. Shiki demanded to form an alliance with the Roger Pirates in hopes of taking over the world, and if they did not agree, Shiki would destroy them with his armada. While this event occurred, Gaban tried his best to calm down Buggy, who was hoping to surrender to Shiki, but in the end, Roger refused the alliance, thus resulting in an epic battle where the entire crew, including Gaban, fought it out. Luckily, fate was on the Roger Pirates' side, as during the battle, a massive storm formed and sank half of Shiki's armada, resulting in the Roger Pirates' victory. This event was forever known as the Battle of Edd War.[2] At some point, Gaban and the rest of the crew travelled to Little Garden and met Dorry and Brogy.[44]

   Around 26 years ago, the Roger Pirates were causing a ruckus on an island. After defeating a group of Marines, they learned that the Whitebeard Pirates had docked on the other side of the island.[45] The Roger Pirates were then confronted by Kouzuki Oden. Gaban and Silvers Rayleigh prepared to fight him, but Gol D. Roger charged in and blew Oden away with a single slash. The Roger Pirates clashed with the Whitebeard Pirates for three days and three nights before the skirmish turned into a gift exchange. The Roger Pirates were later joined by Oden and his family as well as Inuarashi and Nekomamushi. At some point, the Roger Pirates visited Skypiea.[46]

   After leaving Skypiea, the crew's voyage took them to Water 7, Sabaody Archipelago, and Fish-Man Island. Sometime later, they left Toki, Momonosuke, Hiyori, Inuarashi, and Nekomamushi in Wano Country. Sometime after the visit to Zou, the Roger Pirates finally reached Laugh Tale. When the crew discovered Joy Boy's treasure, they responded with a burst of laughter.[47]

"Tom" has been featured, meaning it was chosen as an article of interest. Tom Anime Manga Anime Statistics Japanese Name: トム Romanized Name: Tomu Official English Name: Tom Debut: Chapter 352; Episode 248[1] Affiliations: Tom's Workers[1] Occupations: Shipwright[1] Origin: Grand Line (Ryugu Kingdom)[2] Residence: Water 7; Fish-Man Island (former) Status: Deceased Age at Death: 67[2] Birthday: March 16th[3] Height: 296 cm (9'8")[2] Blood Type: F[2] Portrayal Japanese Voice: Yasuo Muramatsu Hiroaki Ishikawa (Episode 967) English Voice: Funimation: Rob Mungle For the Non-Canon Marine Cook, see Tom (Non-Canon). Tom[4] was a long-horned cowfish fish-man known as the greatest shipwright in the world, particularly for building the Roger Pirates' ship, the Oro Jackson.[5] He was also the older brother of Den, a fellow fish-man shipwright.

   As the head of Tom's Workers, Tom was pivotal to the redevelopment of Water 7, directly mentoring both Iceburg[4] and Franky and laying groundwork for what would become the Galley-La Company. His ultimate innovation, the Sea Train, impressed even the World Government into pardoning his associations with Pirate King Gol D. Roger. However, in order to protect his apprentices from a frame-up orchestrated by CP5's Spandam, Tom renounced this pardon and was taken to Enies Lobby, presumably to be executed shortly after.[6]

   Advertisement Appearance Tom was a large cowfish Fish-Man, with short horns and a yellow body. He had markings under his eyes, black spots on his neck near his gills, sharp teeth from his lower lip pointing upward, and a white beard. White, curly hair also sprouted behind his neck from under his brown bandanna, and his large chest was covered by an unbuttoned light-blue shirt with a blue pattern on it. He had a relatively small lower body in comparison to his large upper body, and he wore brown pants and simple boots. He also had a tattoo of a flowery design on both of his shoulders that is similar to the Jolly Roger of the Sun Pirates.[1]

Personality Tom was a proud and kind fish-man. He was also extremely carefree, able to laugh at almost everything from his students' frequent quarrels and insults to even the fact that he nearly got sentenced to death for creating Roger's ship (a source of constant reprimands from Kokoro). Unlike many other Fish-Men, he showed no prejudice against humans. He built ships for anyone, even pirates, and adopted Franky and Iceburg and mentored them in the trade of building ships. His bond with them was such that he took the blame for the Battle Frankies and was executed in exchange for a pardon for them.

   “ I don't care what kind of ship you made... it's neither good nor bad. You can make any ship you want! But... even if the ship kills someone or destroys the world... A creator must never disown a ship he designed! He must always love her! The ship is not to blame! When a man builds a ship... he takes pride in what he built with a don! ” — Tom expressing his carpenter's philosophy to Franky even in his last moments.[7]

   Tom also believed that as a shipwright, one must always love his own creations, no matter what they had done. As such, he struck Franky for attempting to deny his responsibility in creating the Battle Frankies and proudly claimed that he did not regret crafting the Oro Jackson for the Pirate King, despite it all being tantamount to confessing to crimes punishable by death.[5] He also refused to hand over the blueprints for Pluton to Spandam, as a duty of his shipwright.[7] His catchphrase was "do it with a DON!" (or "do it with gusto!" in the Funimation dubs).

   Like some of the other characters of One Piece, Tom had a unique laugh, his starting with a "Ta" (i.e., "Ta ha ha ha ha!").

   Advertisement Relationships Friends Gol D. Roger Tom had an extremely close friendship with the late Pirate King, having crafted his best masterpiece, the Oro Jackson, especially for Roger as his flagship. Roger held incredible respect for Tom, having paid the latter one last visit before his voyage towards Laugh Tale, asking Tom about his future plans for the Puffing Tom. Though his association with Roger had caused him to be branded a criminal and condemned to death, Tom had no regrets and even felt utmost pride in helping Roger.

   Iceburg Tom's first apprentice, Iceburg, held immense respect and admiration for Tom and his skills as a shipwright and was more eager and enthusiastic than Franky in assisting Tom in his work, including developing the first Sea Train. When Tom gave himself up to the World Government to save his apprentices, Iceburg was seen crying. After Tom's death, Iceburg worked earnestly to continue improving the conditions and welfare of Water 7 to uphold his mentor's legacy.

   Franky As Tom's second apprentice, Franky had utmost respect and admiration for his mentor as a master shipwright. Tom always praised Franky for the often-ingenious designs he would come up with. When the Battle Frankies were used to hurt the innocent, Franky denounced them as his creations, which led Tom to teach him the most important lesson about being a shipwright - that you must be proud of what you've created, no matter what. Furthermore, Tom announced that he was proud he had built Gol D. Roger's ship to further back up that claim. Franky was also willing to risk his life to prevent Sea Train Puffing Tom from carrying its creator to Enies Lobby, to the point he tried to stop the train with his bare hands, though he failed, and his injuries he sustained from being hit by the Puffing Tom resulted in him converting himself into a cyborg. Out of remorse for his hand in Tom's capture, Franky decided to always stay in Water 7 as penance to ease his guilt. As Iceburg stated, his decision to stay in Water 7 and form the Franky Family was to atone for his actions. According to Iceburg, the only thing he needed to do in order to leave Water 7 was to forgive himself.

   Abilities and Powers

   Advertisement Carpentry In his life, Tom was regarded as the world's greatest shipwright, having used timber of the Treasure Tree Adam to craft the Oro Jackson, the ship that Gol D. Roger used to cross the Grand Line,[5] and later with assistance of his disciples created the first Sea Train, the Puffing Tom, which is capable of traveling in the sea, linking together many islands and bringing back prosperity to Water 7. His skills have been passed down to Franky and Iceburg, noted as incredible master shipwrights themselves.[8]

   Physical Abilities Even for a fish-man, Tom had massive amounts of strength, easily lifting an entire ship with one hand, without showing strain, and holding its three masts in the other hand. He was able to throw the ship to a great distance and at the same time, launch the masts in their required positions, showing not only amazing strength, but also incredible accuracy. Similarly, he broke free of a pair of big handcuffs without effort. He was also extremely tough and tenacious, taking a full bombardment from Battle Frankies ships (guided by World Government agents) which were powerful enough to kill a Sea King, and still being able to stand and fight back against the Marines during the trial afterwards.[8]

   History Biography Crown of the King Tom was born on Fish-Man Island and lived there alongside his younger merman brother, Den. At some point, he and Kokoro left there and moved to Water 7. Over 44 years before the current storyline, Tom had constructed the Oro Jackson, Gold Roger's ship.[5][9] Twenty-six years ago he found Franky as a child after his pirate parents abandoned him.

   During his final voyage, Roger visited Tom one more time to get repairs for the Oro Jackson.[10]

   The Trial Begins Tom stands trial for his apparent crime. Tom stands trial for his apparent crime.

   After the death of Roger, he was arrested. Although building a ship for pirates is generally not considered a crime (as the shipwrights have no control over who mans their ships), a special case had to be made for Tom because his client was the Pirate King.[8]

   To escape execution, Tom made an agreement with the judge: given 10 years, he could save his dying home city of Water 7 by constructing an unprecedented Sea Train, which could traverse even the roughest of weather to deliver and receive goods and services. Thus, Tom's trial went into recess for a decade, to reconvene after the Sea Train's completion.[11]

   Advertisement The Shipbuilder's Secret Tom's trial was also a front for another mission the World Government was undertaking at the time. They knew Tom was the holder of a copy of the blueprints for Pluton, an ancient warship of power and one of three Ancient Weapons that survived the Void Century. Tom's possession of the blueprint led other factions of the government to seek it: of note, Spandam, who was at the time working for Cipher Pol No. 5, a secret governmental organization not overseen by the Marines.

   Spandam's Plot After Tom finally completed the Sea Train (taking 4 extra years to add extra rails), Tom was finally allowed to be pardoned for any crime he desired. However, Spandam was angry at the hassles of trying to get Tom to hand over Pluton to him; therefore, Spandam, in an effort to secure the blueprints, hired people to steal and man the ships of Tom's student, Cutty Flam, to attack Water 7 at the resumption of Tom's trial.[6]

   Tom teaches Franky one final lesson. Tom teaches Franky one final lesson.

   Though he knew Franky to be innocent, Tom took responsibility for the actions of his pupil's ships and decided to claim his pardon against the attack on Water 7. This action thus reinstated his original sentence, and he once again was accused of building Roger's ship. Having overheard Franky disown his creations, Tom finally owned up to building the Oro Jackson; not only that, but he also claimed he was proud to have done so in order to show Franky the true meaning of being a shipwright. Tom was escorted on the Sea Train he built to Enies Lobby, where he was allegedly executed shortly thereafter.[7]

   Crocus[2] is a doctor and the caretaker of the whale Laboon as well as the overseer of the Twin Cape Lighthouse, which guides all ships using Reverse Mountain to enter the Grand Line.

   Though a lighthouse keeper for most of his life, Crocus spent three years serving as a doctor on Gol D. Roger's crew. According to Silvers Rayleigh, he was the best doctor in the world at the time he joined the Roger Pirates, and the only one able to relieve Roger's disease.[4]

   He is an ally of the Straw Hat Pirates during the Reverse Mountain Arc, supplying the Log Pose they use in the first half of the Grand Line. Appearance Crocus' appearance is based off the flower with the same name, as seen with the petals around his head. He has a rather stocky and muscular body, is bald on the top of his head, but has white hair with yellow flower petal-like things, that have purple near the bottom of them, and a white beard that splits in two parts. His lower lip is noticeably larger than his upper.

   At age 21, he wore a pink sleeveless shirt, dark pink hat, and tan cargo pants. He was shown to be more muscular, and lacked his beard.

   24 years ago, he had black hair, with yellow parts sticking out resembling a flower. His face was less wrinkled, and he wore a pink hat with black spots on it. He did not have a beard, but instead just had stubble. He also wore a dark green tanktop, with white jeans.

   As a member of the Roger Pirates, he carried harpoons on his back. His beard and hair were still black, and he seemed to be more muscular.

   After the time skip, he has basically the same clothes, but with a new dark colored shirt with pictures on it.[5]

   Personality Crocus is a wise and caring man. He has a strange habit of taking his time when it comes to answering questions. He once took a direct hit from a cannon attack by Mr. 9 in order to protect Laboon, showing that he deeply cares about the whale.[6] He strongly values friendship, as despite decades of separation with the Rumbar Pirates, Crocus had joined the Roger Pirates to search for its members in order to help Laboon reunite with them.

   As a member of the Roger Pirates, Crocus readily supported them from fighting to giving medical treatments. Crocus is shown to be strict when it comes to healthcare as he berated Roger for his excessive drinking despite having a terminal illness. Crocus also forbade Buggy from the voyage to Laugh Tale on account of his sudden fever, despite Buggy's desperate pleas.

   Abilities and Powers Crocus is a capable fighter, having participated in the battle between the Roger Pirates and Shiki's Golden Lion Pirates,[7] as well having fought the Whitebeard Pirates.[8]

   He has high pain tolerance and durability, having taken direct hits from Mr. 9's and Miss Wednesday's bazookas while defending Laboon. Even in his old age, he showed no signs of damage just moments afterward.[6]

   Medical Expertise Crocus providing relief for Roger's terminal disease. Crocus providing relief for Roger's terminal disease.

   Crocus is an extraordinary doctor, one of the finest medical specialists in the world. According to Rayleigh, Crocus was the only doctor who could even temporarily halt Gol D. Roger's incurable disease, prolonging Roger's life long enough to reach Laugh Tale and conquer the Grand Line.[4]

   Crocus is a capable pharmacist, developing effective medicine on his own and supplying large quantities for Roger so he could use it on himself to live out the remainder of his lifespan. He also developed a tranquilizer that works on even Laboon, a 400-meter-long whale.

   Moreover, Crocus is an outstanding surgeon as he was able to surgically modify Laboon to install routes in his body, facilitating medical treatment for the whale.[6]

   Advertisement Haki Main article: Haki Crocus possesses the ability to use Observation Haki.[2]

   Weapons Crocus wields harpoons and can launch multiple with enough force to pierce through a giant squid.[1]

   History Past Meeting the Rumbar Pirates Some fifty years before the current storyline, Crocus met the West Blue's Rumbar Pirates as they descended Reverse Mountain; with them came a juvenile whale named Laboon, who had grown deeply attached during their voyages. Crocus agreed to host the pirates at Twin Cape while their ship underwent repairs, and came to personally befriend a number of them,[9] especially their captain Yorki and primary musician Brook.

   After three months of repairs (and partying), the Rumbar Pirates were ready to resume sailing into the Grand Line proper. Yet, they remained concerned that Laboon was too young for its dangers, and so entrusted him to Crocus, vowing to circle the entire sea and return by Reverse Mountain in a few years' time. Crocus handily accepted, becoming Laboon's closest friend and caretaker; however, as years passed into decades, the Rumbar Pirates never returned.[10][9]

   Voyage with Gol D. Roger Twenty-eight years before the current storyline,[2] Crocus met another crew with great ambitions: the Roger Pirates, pursuing their ultimate voyage over the Grand Line. Having heard of his medical prowess, the crew begged Crocus to join them, as their captain Gol D. Roger was suffering a rare and terminal disease. Seeing an opportunity to trace the Rumbar Pirates, Crocus accepted and became their ship doctor, his skills successfully stabilizing Roger's health.[4]

   A year later, during the Battle of Edd War, Crocus was asked by Buggy about Roger's condition to which he replied that he was in perfect shape for a fight. He along with the Roger Pirates fought against the Golden Lion Pirates.[7]

   For the next few years, Crocus journeyed as a member of the Roger Pirates, all the while searching for leads on the Rumbar Pirates as he kept Roger's health stable. Eventually, he found reports that some of the Rumbar Pirates had tried to escape the Grand Line through the Calm Belt. Unaware of the tragedies that had befallen them—especially Brook—Crocus bitterly concluded that the entire crew had fled the Grand Line in cowardice and broken their promise to Laboon.[4]

   At some point two years after Crocus joined, the Roger Pirates were causing a ruckus on an island. After defeating a group of Marines, they learned that the Whitebeard Pirates were docked on the other side of the island.[11] The Roger Pirates then clashed with the Whitebeard Pirates for three days and three nights before the skirmish ultimately became a gift exchange. Afterwards, the Roger Pirates were joined by Kouzuki Oden and his family, as well as Nekomamushi and Inuarashi. At some point, Crocus told Roger that he had one year to live and the crew visited Skypiea.[12]

   Following Skypiea, the crew's voyage took them to Water 7, Tequila Wolf, Sabaody Archipelago, and Fish-Man Island. Sometime later, they left Kouzuki Toki, Momonosuke, Hiyori, Inuarashi, and Nekomamushi at Wano Country. Some time after a visit to Zou, the Roger Pirates finally reached Laugh Tale and discovered Joy Boy's treasure, to which they responded with a burst of laughter.[13]

   Approximately twenty-three years before the current storyline, Roger—now recognized worldwide as the Pirate King—disbanded his crew. Knowing Roger's disease was in its terminal stage, Crocus supplied his captain one last batch of medicine, and joined his crewmates in a tearful farewell.[14]

   Subsequently, Crocus returned to Twin Cape and told Laboon what he had learned of the Rumbar Pirates. However, Laboon refused to believe his old friends had abandoned their promise, and began ramming against Reverse Mountain in desperation to rejoin them. Unable to stop these futile efforts, Crocus could only devote his medical skills to preserving Laboon's health the best he could; as Laboon eventually grew too big for conventional treatments, Crocus installed a tunnel network into Laboon's interiors, and even an artificial island in the main stomach chamber.[15]

Further trouble came when Laboon swallowed the just-arrived Straw Hat Pirates, ship and all.[1] After introductions to the bewildered Straw Hats, Crocus rushed to sedate Laboon's latest rampage, giving the hunters an opportunity to open fire. Desperate, Crocus used his own body to block their shots, and was relieved to see Luffy knocking out the duo before they could try again.[6]

   Endeared to the Straw Hats, Crocus helped them exit Laboon, while relating the whale's history. Saddened and intrigued by this, Luffy tried to ease Laboon's turmoil the only way he knew: by picking a fight. After a quick exchange of blows, Luffy declared a draw, and swore himself as Laboon's new "rival"—a rival who would circle the entire Grand Line to return for a rematch. To Crocus' joy, Laboon accepted this new hope, weeping with fresh passion.[16]

   While Luffy painted his Jolly Roger on Laboon to seal their new bond (and deter him from further ramming the Red Line), Crocus found Nami panicking over her malfunctioning compass. Surprised by the Straw Hats' inexperience, he explained Log Poses and the Grand Line's (un)natural environment up to its mythic final island, and gave them his personal Log Pose as further thanks for helping Laboon. The Straw Hats soon cast off into the Grand Line proper, Crocus quietly wondering whether Luffy was the one "awaited" by Roger and his old crew.[17]

   The Roger Pirates were the pirate crew of the late Pirate King, Gol D. Roger. They were, and remain, the only known crew to traverse the entirety of the Grand Line and reach its final island Laugh Tale.

   Active for nearly three decades, the Roger Pirates became legendary for their feats, impacting lands from Skypiea to Wano Country and maintaining rivalries with the likes of Marine Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp,[2] Edward Newgate's Whitebeard Pirates,[3] and even their lesser known rivarly with Newgate's previous crew, led by Roger's first rival, Rocks D. Xebec.

   Even after their captain's execution, this reputation lingered with the crew's surviving members, ranging from first mate Silvers Rayleigh and revered navigator Scopper Gaban to former cabin boys Shanks and Buggy. The first introduction to their crew comes from Buggy, who recalls his days with Shanks as apprentices in their crew.[1] Their captain, Roger, is the first character introduced in the series.[4]

   Along with their captain and first mate, other members also held a specific occupation within the crew, some standard for pirate groups while others more focused on information gathering:[6]

   Advertisement Crew Strength The Roger Pirates easily defeat a group of Marines. The Roger Pirates easily defeat a group of Marines.

   As their captain was known as the "Pirate King", they were one of the strongest crews of their time, as well as one of the most powerful crews in history. As evidenced by the fact that they were, and continue to be to this day, the first and only known pirate crew to conquer the Grand Line and reach the final island, Laugh Tale, by finding all four Road Poneglyphs. They were able to understand the Poneglyphs after recruiting Kouzuki Oden, and the members of the crew became part of the very few people to discover the true history of the world, the events of the Void Century, and the meaning of the initial D.[8] Because of their abilities and accomplishments, Roger was given the highest known bounty in history by the World Government,[9] with other members of the crew also becoming heavily wanted men whose bounties are still active even though a quarter of a century has passed since the dissolution of the crew.[10]

   In addition to their great accomplishments, the Roger Pirates were immensely powerful in battle. This was best shown when they fought the Whitebeard Pirates, another immensely powerful crew, to a draw for four days. Roger, despite being plagued by his terminal illness, clashed evenly with Whitebeard, who was reputed as the "Strongest Man in the World" and was in his prime.[11] Right before battling the Whitebeard Pirates, the Roger Pirates had easily defeated a battalion of Marines, with Roger saying they should have brought Admiral Sengoku or Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp if they wanted to make it fun.[12] The Roger Pirates also clashed against the powerful Golden Lion Pirates in the Battle of Edd War; despite commanding only the Oro Jackson against the Golden Lion Pirates' massive fleet, the Roger Pirates fought to a draw with the help of a storm and caused significant damage to the fleet.[13] So far, only three men are considered to have been formidable rivals to Roger: Whitebeard,[14] Garp,[15] and the legendary pirate Rocks D. Xebec.[16] Among their most impressive yet unmentioned feats were how the crew managed to continuously fight off and defeat the immortal Knights of God who attempted, yet failed, to take Shanks back for their then captain, Figarland Garling.[17]

   Some of the members have displayed impressive mastery over their Haki. Roger, Rayleigh, Gaban, and Oden possess tremendous mastery over all three types of Haki.[11][18] According to Kaidou, Roger's mastery of Haki is what allowed him to conquer the sea despite not being a Devil Fruit user.

   Even after being retired from piracy for 23 years, some of them have been shown to still be immensely powerful in their old age. Some characters have chosen to back off rather than risk fighting one of them, including high-ranking Marines[19] and an Emperor like Blackbeard.[20] The former first mate Rayleigh was able to clash evenly with Marine Admiral and Logia user Kizaru;[21] Kizaru stated that the Marines would need to make more preparations than just sending him, some Pacifista, and a Marine battalion to capture the Dark King.[10] Furthermore, Rayleigh's reputation alone was enough to force Blackbeard, an Emperor who possesses the powers of two Devil Fruits, both incredibly powerful and dangerous, to retreat. Gaban, who was called the Left Arm of the Pirate King could pose a serious challenge to one of the Four Emperors, Monkey D. Luffy, without appearing to get serious himself.[22] Gaban was also able to defeat a member of the Knights of God, Shepherd Sommers, quickly and without suffering injuries. In addition to being able to read the Poneglyphs, Kouzuki Oden was an extremely powerful samurai who was the first person to seriously injure the powerful pirate Kaidou, who would go on to become known as the world's "Strongest Creature".[23]

   The former apprentice Shanks went on to become a tremendously powerful and infamous pirate after the crew's disbandment. He is extremely skilled at using all three types of Haki and is one of the strongest swordsmen in the world. He would later become recognized as one of the Four Emperors, the four most powerful pirate captains.[16] Notably, the only member of the Roger Pirates known to have consumed a Devil Fruit is Buggy, an apprentice who was one of the weakest members of the crew.[24] Although he is still not a powerful pirate compared to others in the Grand Line, Buggy has been able to garner significant attention and respect just by being part of the Roger Pirates;[25] this enabled him to recruit hundreds of dangerous Impel Down escapees to his crew and receive an invitation to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea.[26] Later, Buggy too would become one of the Four Emperors.[27] However, this is largely due to the many misconceptions made by the Marines.

   The Roger Pirates' ship, the Oro Jackson, was constructed by the most skilled shipwright of the era, Tom. It was built from wood taken from the Treasure Tree Adam, which is valued at about Beli200,000,000. When fighting Shiki, the ship had a large cannon in the front surrounded by a pair of mermaids. This cannon was powerful enough to destroy an entire ship.

   The construction of this ship led Tom to be branded a criminal, since the ship was affiliated with the Pirate King.

   History Roger and Rayleigh meeting for the first time. Roger and Rayleigh meeting for the first time.

   The Roger Pirates were formed over 52 years ago when a young Gol D. Roger asked Silvers Rayleigh to join him.[29][30] The Roger Pirates began sailing the Grand Line, and 44 years ago they were already famous and had squabbles with the Kuja Pirates in order to get their First Mate Shakuyaku to join their crew. One day while leading an attack on the Kuja Pirates for the same objective, Roger and his left-hand man Scopper Gaban were lovestruck by Shakuyaku and were easily subdued along with most of the crew barring Rayleigh. While the Kuja attempted to make off with their treasure, the Marine Monkey D. Garp appeared and attacked. Roger rallied his crew, and proceeded to clash with Garp, eventually escaping afterward.[31]

   40 years ago, the Roger Pirates sans Rayleigh traveled to Hachinosu and easily wiped out every pirate in line to Shakky's Rip-off Bar, forcing their way inside. While the Rocks Pirates stationed in the bar remained amicable with the crew, Shakky approached Roger asking for Rayleigh's whereabouts. Roger revealed that Rayleigh had remained on the ship, causing Shakky great disappointment. Afterward, Roger called out for Newgate with intentions to drink with him, but Linlin revealed that he had already left.[32] Within the same year, the crew learned that Shakky was abducted and grew furious.[33] One year later, the Roger Pirates reached Lodestar Island, the last island that the Log Pose pointed to, only to learn that it was actually not the last island.[34]

   The Roger Pirates arrive on God Valley. The Roger Pirates arrive on God Valley.

   38 years ago, when they learned that Shakky had been captured as a potential prize for the Native Hunting Competition on God Valley, they promptly set out to rescue her.[35] Each member of the crew was determined to save Shakky, with Roger at the forefront, proudly proclaiming he would save Shakky singlehandedly only to be run over by his crew. As they got closer in on the island center, the Roger Pirates met heavy resistance by the Marines stationed there, as well as the Rocks Pirates who had come for Shakky as well. The Roger Pirates then found themselves in multiple fights, including Roger briefly clashing with Whitebeard, only to make room for Rayleigh to go save Shakky. As Rayleigh defeated Shepherd Sommers, who was about to kill Shakky, Rayleigh carried Shakky away from the ongoing fighting while the Roger Pirates cleared the path for both of them to escape safely. Roger then switched their goals from saving Shakky to plundering everything and taking all the treasure they could find.

   The Roger Pirates found a hoard of treasure and Devil Fruits in the Second Treasury Depot and successfully fought off the Rocks Pirates who had come for it too. Roger, however, suddenly felt a great presence descending on God Valley and decided to head further into the main part of the island while his crew was ordered to get everything to the Oro Jackson.[36] Before returning to his crew, Roger worked together with Garp to fight against the demonized Rocks.[37] After the battle, Rayleigh carried the exhausted Roger back to their ship, while Gaban returned Garp to the Marines.

   The crew later discovered a 1-year-old Shanks inside a treasure chest they had looted from God Valley. They decided to keep the child, allowing him to serve as a Pirate Apprentice.[38] This action would not be without consequence, however. Once the Knights of God became aware of Shanks' presence among the crew, they attempted multiple times to steal the boy back, but were thwarted each time.[17]

   After stealing the message of Charlotte Linlin's Road Poneglyph, Roger learned that there was an island beyond Lodestar.[39][40] At some point, Roger was gravely wounded and needed to heal from his injuries at a hospital in the mountains. When a hundred enemies came to ambush him, Gaban fought them all off and cut down every tree on the mountain, which earned him the epithet "Mountain-Eater".[41]

   At another point, they defeated the Naguri Pirates, sparing the crew and their captain Naguri's lives.[43]

   At some point 30 years ago, a 15 year old Douglas Bullet challenged Roger and lost. He continued to challenge him multiple times and eventually joined the crew in order to continue challenging him. Despite his admiration for Roger and his growing fondness for the crew, two years later he learns about Roger's fatal illness. After learning this, he begins to doubt whether he'll have any more opportunities to succeed Roger. Deciding to abandon his attachment to the crew, he challenges Roger one final time, and loses. After this, Bullet left the crew.[44]

   30 years ago, Roger, Shanks, and Buggy read news of the samurai Kouzuki Oden from Wano Country joining the Whitebeard Pirates, where Roger expressed interest in meeting him.[45] Two years later, Roger discovered that he had an incurable and fatal disease and decided to lead his crew on a final voyage across the Grand Line. He recruited Crocus from Reverse Mountain to keep him alive as long as possible.[46] At some point, the Roger Pirates raided an enemy ship and obtained a Devil Fruit called the Bara Bara no Mi, in which Buggy would accidentally eat and gain its powers.[1] 27 years ago, the Roger Pirates fought the Golden Lion Pirates in the Battle of Edd War; the battle was declared a draw with the Golden Lion Pirates taking significant damage.[13] At some point, the Roger Pirates travelled to Little Garden and met Dorry and Brogy.[47]

   One year after that on a island, the Roger Pirates crossed paths with the Whitebeard Pirates and battled them for four days. After the battle, Roger asked Whitebeard to allow Oden to join his crew, as Oden was a member of the Kouzuki Family who could read the Poneglyphs and so could help them get to the final island. Whitebeard reluctantly agreed as Oden himself had wished to join Roger, and Oden and his family joined the Roger Pirates as well as Oden's retainers Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, who came on as stowaways.

   After adventuring in Skypiea,[48] the Roger Pirates headed to Fish-Man Island, where they found the second Road Poneglyph. Oden, Inuarashi, and Nekomamushi revealed that the final two Road Poneglyphs were in their home countries of Wano and Zou, and the Roger Pirates successfully found them there. Inuarashi, Nekomamushi, and Oden's family were left behind on Wano due to Oden's wife Kouzuki Toki falling ill, but Oden continued sailing with the crew. At some unspecified point, the Roger Pirates got into a conflict with the Maelstrom Spider Pirates, leading Roger to kill the entire crew except the captain.[49]

   Roger departs from the crew. Roger departs from the crew.

   25 years ago, the Roger Pirates charted the location of the final island using the Road Poneglyphs and made landfall there, with Shanks and Buggy staying behind on another island due to the latter falling ill. On the final island, they found a treasure left behind 800 years ago, by Joy Boy and learned the truth behind the Void Century, Ancient Weapons, and the meaning of the D. Roger decided to name the final island Laugh Tale.[8] After returning from Laugh Tale, Roger disbanded the crew and set off on his own. The crew then took Oden back to Wano, where he intended to open the country's borders to start the new era that Joy Boy wanted, and eventually the rest of the crew went their separate ways.[50]

   Advertisement Legacy After the Roger Pirates disbanded, their captain turned himself in to the Marines, and they chose to execute him in his birthplace of Loguetown 24 years ago.[46] But right before his death, Roger shouted out his famous final words to all the attends present, stating that his legendary treasure will be theirs if they find it, thus beginning the Great Pirate Era. Because of their connection to Roger, all the former members of the Roger Pirates were hunted down relentlessly by the World Government.

   Roger's former apprentices, Shanks and Buggy were present at his execution, and afterwards they split up to form their own crews, the Red Hair Pirates and the Buggy Pirates respectively.[13] 12 years after Roger's death, Shanks would end up inspiring a young boy named Monkey D. Luffy to become an infamous pirate. 6 years later, Shanks would become recognized as one of the Four Emperors.[16] Buggy and his crew were active in the East Blue until two years ago, when they entered the Grand Line and Buggy became one of the Seven Warlord of the Sea due in large part to his history with Roger.[26] After the system's dissolution, Buggy would then become one of the Four Emperors alongside Shanks (in truth, he is currently serving under Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk, who are using him as a figurehead).

   Rayleigh retired from piracy and currently works as a ship coater on the Sabaody Archipelago, though goes on frequent excursions.[51] Crocus returned to Reverse Mountain to take care of Laboon.[46] Oden returned to Wano to assume his role as shogun and open the country's borders, but was killed five years after the crew's disbandment, as he was met with opposition from Wano's false shogun, Kurozumi Orochi, and the Emperor Kaidou.[52] His wife, Toki met her end on that day as well, but not before ensuring the escape and safety of her children alongside Oden's retainers.[53] Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, both retainers of Oden, returned to Zou and ruled over the Mokomo Dukedom together, while patiently planning to avenge him alongside his other retainers in a 20 year long plan to free Wano from the rule of Orochi and Kaidou, which ultimately succeeded during the Raid on Onigashima.[54] Gaban retired from piracy and traveled to Elbaph, where he met Ripley and had a son.[55] The whereabouts and statuses of the other Roger Pirates are unknown. The bounties for the crew are still active, with the World Government being unwilling to lift them before the members die.[10]

   Trivia The Jolly Roger seen in Buggy's flashback. The Jolly Roger seen in Buggy's flashback.

   The Roger Pirates had a theme of its senior members having names based off of precious metals: Gol D. Roger's name is based on gold, Silvers Rayleigh's is based on silver, and Scopper Gaban's is based on copper. Gaban is likely named after copper instead of bronze due to how the third-place bronze medal is referred to in Japanese, as the copper medal (銅メダル, dō medaru?) instead of the bronze medal (青銅メダル, seidō medaru?). The first time the Roger Pirates' Jolly Roger is introduced is in Chapter 19, which depicts it different from later appearances. In its initial depiction, it is a simple skull with crossbones. Interestingly, it is shown in Chapter 1156 that the crew's Jolly Roger had the mustache even before Roger grew it on himself. When asked about this discrepancy in the SBS Volume 114, Oda joked that the skull's mustache was in fact just udon noodles. The Roger Pirates had at least five Supreme King Haki users, the most of any pirate crew to date. Douglas Bullet, who was a non-canon member of the crew, also possesses this ability. Despite being a veteran pirate crew and having clashed with powerful Devil Fruit users like the Whitebeard Pirates, the crew was skeptical about Devil Fruits during Buggy's flashback. During the God Valley Incident, which is set years before Buggy's flashback, members of the Roger Pirates would even directly identify a Devil Fruit among the treasures they found.[56] Two former members of the crew, Shanks and Buggy, would later go on to become part of the Four Emperors. This makes the crew one of two to hold multiple future Emperors, the other being the Rocks Pirates, which had three future Emperors in its ranks.

   Entry settings

   Kouzuki Oden[7] was the daimyo of Kuri in Wano Country and the son of the former shogun Kouzuki Sukiyaki, being a member of the Kouzuki Family. He was the husband of Kouzuki Toki and the father of Momonosuke and Hiyori. Additionally, he was the leader of a group of legendary and powerful samurai known as the Nine Red Scabbards, with all of them serving as his retainers and most trusted allies.[2]

   For 5 years of his life, Oden set out to sea and became a pirate, serving as the 2nd division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates[10] and later becoming a member of the Roger Pirates. After finding Joy Boy's treasure on Laugh Tale, Oden journeyed home and made it his goal to open Wano's borders to the world by finally taking his father's place as shogun.[11] However, he met opposition from his usurper Kurozumi Orochi and the pirate Kaidou, who executed him 20 years before the present, in an event known as the Legendary Hour.[3]

   Oden's name was first mentioned during the Zou Arc.[3] He is the posthumous overarching protagonist of the Wano Country Arc, being the protagonist of a series of events taking place in and outside Wano in the past.

He had relatively sharp, black eyes whose inner and outer corners were marked by black jags going down and up, respectively, and above a pair of prominent, highly arched eyebrows.

   He also wore red eyeliner around his eyes, making them look even sharper. He had a mid-sized, slightly hooked nose, a large, expressive mouth, and a broad chin. Even during his late teen years, Oden looked just like a full-grown man. During his journey with the Roger Pirates, he received three scars, one on his leg, one on his arm, and one on his chest. During the five years before his demise, he grew a short goatee.

   For clothes, Oden typically wore an orange kimono, leaving most of his legs exposed; the kimono had two yellow crescent moon designs on it. Oden also wore a large purple and white nio-dasuki tied around his shoulders that ran down his back.[4] He would often alternate between this and a similar longer kimono, with his nio-dasuki worn as a belt and tied in the front. Oden also wore his swords, Enma and Ame no Habakiri, across his left waist tucked inside an obi belt. While partying with the Whitebeard Pirates, he wore a red shirt, blue pants with white stripes, and a crown on his head.

   Oden was an extremely brash, confident, carefree, and self-willed man. This motivated him to commit outrageous and violent actions for his own benefit during his youth and adolescence, such as fighting gamblers in a drunken rage, burning down the yakuza casino after being banned from it, and kidnapping women at night to form a harem in the mountains. Similar to his son Momonosuke, Oden was a pervert as a kid as he was regularly roaming the Red Light District at age 6 and spent the castle's money at the pleasure halls, not to mention forming a harem at the age of 15. However, that toned down over the years as he already grew out of that phase by the time he became an adult. Overall, Oden was known for getting into a significant number of violent fights, and he cared little for the consequences of his actions, as he gladly stood his ground against the yakuza and the loved ones of the women when fighting broke out as a result of the two aforementioned incidents, making Oden a thrill-seeker, as he always loved getting into fights. Although most men were appalled by his actions, his attitude made him very attractive to women, including the ones he kidnapped for his harem, as they stayed with him willingly, even though they were always free to leave.

   After being sentenced to work in the quarries, Oden became less selfish and started acting to improve the lives of the Flower Capital citizens around him. However, these actions were just as outrageous and ill-thought-out as the ones Oden committed to benefit himself. The most notable example is when he attempted to help out the citizens during a drought by diverting a river into the city, which caused the city to become flooded.[4] Additionally, when a Mountain God attacked the Flower Capital, Oden quickly went to action to try to deal with it and even took responsibility for causing the crisis in order to shift blame from Kin'emon, who caused the incident on accident.[12] Oden seemed to often mean well but acted in ways that were reckless and potentially alienating to those around him. For example, to honor a deceased man he once knew, Oden cooked a pot of oden soup over his cremated remains to "share one last drink" with his former friend, much to the dismay of his mourning family members, although Oden then apologized to them for the disturbance.[4]

   Unlike the other people in Wano, Oden didn't follow its strict rules and always did things to help others in his own way. He didn't care what others thought about him and also never wanted to be thanked whenever he helped others. Although many men blamed Oden for the Mountain God Incident, they secretly envied Oden for his carefree attitude because he's not bound by Wano's strict rules. After being exiled by Sukiyaki, Oden seemed to have found an outlet for his unconventional attempts at heroism, as he was able to bring peace to Kuri and rebuild its infrastructure in only two years.[1]

   “ Leaving the country is my dream!! Let's travel together!!! Show me the world!!! ” — Oden's thirst for adventure.[13]

   Oden adopts the mannerisms of sailors by keeping a log. Oden adopts the mannerisms of sailors by keeping a log.

   Oden was also extremely adventurous and wanted to illegally set sail away from Wano Country, viewing it as too cramped.[1] In his youth, he viewed this dream as more important than preparing to succeed his father as shogun.[14] In fact, Oden's determination to set sail was so great that he kept trying to do so 38 times by the time he was only 18.[4] When Whitebeard constantly refused and tried to secretly set sail without notifying him, Oden jumped straight into the sea holding onto the Moby Dick by a chain, shocking the Whitebeard Pirates. Thus, Whitebeard imposed him an extremely difficult challenge which Oden readily agreed to accept it as Oden could brave through the harshest weathers and obstacles without flinching. After he officially joined the Whitebeard Pirates, Oden became immensely excited and curious when they arrived at every new island, learning new discoveries which were unknown to Wano, to the point he ended up recklessly throwing himself into danger. After sailing with the Roger Pirates, Oden became more mature and responsible, and decided that he wanted to succeed his father as shogun and open Wano's borders, to prepare for the return of Joy Boy, and because he wanted to change the entire world.[15]

   Despite having a first bad impression of Orochi, who Oden considered nothing more than a "creepy weirdo", when Oden became a daimyo and Orochi frequently came to him and asked to borrow money from him, Oden always obliged despite never being paid back, doing so because he felt sorry for Orochi and out of respect for his relationship with Yasuie; something Denjiro constantly scolded him for. This makes Oden also a rather naive man as he was easily used by Orochi who approached him humbly and used Crocodile tears, which led Kaidou to call him a foolish lord later on, saying that Oden is mighty, but soft, like Gol D. Roger and Edward Newgate. Because Oden was a honorable man who always kept his word, he believed that Orochi would do the same and honor the agreement that Orochi and Kaidou would leave Wano if he humiliated himself for five years to save the hundreds of hostages and stop the kidnappings and killings of the citizens of Wano. Oden was always someone who would take all the burden on his shoulders as he was afraid that his family and the people, he cares about would get hurt if they get involved, especially after he learned that Momonosuke was attacked, and Toki hit by an arrow. Ultimately, that would indirectly allow Orochi to rise to power and turn Wano into a wasteland.

   “ Shame on all of you!! Your fear of the alien exposes your own ignorance!! ” — Oden's hate for discrimination.[16]

   Oden lectures people about their ignorance. Oden lectures people about their ignorance.

   Despite his rowdy behavior, Oden was an extremely compassionate man. While at first annoyed by Kin'emon and Denjiro acting as his followers, he still cared for their well-being and took them in. He also took in other people like the orphaned Izou and Kikunojo, the persecuted Kanjuro, and the lonely Raizo. After subduing the criminals and outlaws of Kuri, Oden chose to reform them rather than execute them as criminals. Oden did not tolerate discrimination, considering it a symbol of ignorance. He saved Kawamatsu, Inuarashi, and Nekomamushi from being publicly humiliated and tortured, beating up the ones responsible for it. He also saw the three as helpless children rather than monsters and was amazed by their uniqueness.[17] Additionally, Oden willingly gave up on his trial to join the Whitebeard Pirates when he heard Amatsuki Toki calling out for help, choosing to save her even if it meant he could not join their crew, even though he held onto the chain attached to the Moby Dick for nearly 3 full days and was about to pass the test.[18] When Toki got sick and was forced to return to Wano in the middle of their voyage with Roger, Oden wanted to abandon his dream of going to the last island and instead go back to Wano with Toki and their children, so Toki had to threaten to divorce Oden to force him to continue the journey to the last island.[19]

   When Oden learned how Orochi abused his power and authority as the shogun by enslaving Wano citizens for his tyrannical greed, including executing an innocent man along with his family for defiance, Oden was outraged and did not blame his retainers for attacking Orochi for the injustice he caused, as he personally stormed into the Flower Capital to execute Orochi himself.[11] When Oden learned from Orochi how his family was unjustly persecuted for his grandfather's crimes and Orochi showed Oden a room full of hundreds of hostages to blackmail him, Oden accepted his demands of dancing naked weekly in the Flower Capital as an apology to the Kurozumi Family in exchange for protecting the citizens from Orochi's vengeance, including saving the hundreds of kidnapped citizens that were meant as a tribute to Kaidou.

   Oden was extraordinarily humble and impartial. Despite being the Daimyo of Kuri and son of the Shogun, as well as the strongest Samurai, Oden referred to everyone as his equal and despite the deeds and sacrifices he performed to help others, he didn't like getting any credit for them. When Ashura was grateful to Oden for showing him how peace looked like, Oden became annoyed, telling Ashura to stop being creepy. Oden cared greatly for his retainers and the citizens of Wano. He saved the Flower Capital and its citizens from the Mountain God despite the fact that the citizens threw stones at him and insulted him when he appeared. When Yasuie informed Oden about the lawless region of Kuri which even Oden's father considers as the "cancer of Wano", Oden became interested, travelled there by himself, and defeated every bandit in there in the span of a night, as well as saving all the innocent people who were still living there. He then brought peace to the hellish wasteland that is Kuri, building a village for the citizens to live in, and a Paradise Farm to feed them. Oden also saved Kawamatsu, Inuarashi, and Nekomamushi from people who tried to set them on fire, took them in, and fed them, expecting no credit for it. When Oden and his retainers were short on food, Oden even refused to eat just so his retainers don't starve.

   When Oden was about to pass Whitebeard's test after holding onto a chain attached to the Moby Dick and having faced the many dangers and climates of the New World Ocean with no protection for three days, Oden heard a woman in trouble and let go to save her, willing to abandon his childhood dream for a stranger. After saving her and waking up the next day, Oden was more thankful to her for treating his wounds, not wanting any credit from her for saving her life from a bunch of kidnappers. An ultimate act of loyalty and selflessness, Oden sacrificed his own pride, honor, and reputation for 5 years to protect and save hundreds of hostages, as well as the entire civilization of Wano from Kaidou and Orochi's tyranny. Oden never explained the motivations for his actions to anyone, not even his wife, children, and retainers, willing to take the truth that he did it to protect and save them all, to his grave. The citizens of Wano who treated Oden like scum for those 5 years learned the truth only thanks to Shinobu, who spied on the deal between Oden and Orochi. In the end, Oden sacrificed his own life for his retainers, willing to go through hellish pain by holding up all of 9 of them on a plank for an entire hour while he alone was getting boiled alive in the oil during the Legendary Hour.

   “ I am Oden! And I was born to boil!! ” — Oden's catchphrase about his favorite food.[20]

   Oden's favorite food was oden soup, which he cooked to feed his retainers during his journey around Wano and also after becoming the daimyo of Kuri.[21][22] Oden was even proud to be named after his favorite food, declaring he was born to be boiled like oden soup as he died in a pot of boiling oil.[23] Oden also loved to drink sake, having started drinking alcohol when he was only 8 years old.[1]

   Oden occasionally displayed an exaggerated disgusted reaction when annoyed, such as when Kin'emon and Denjiro wished to follow him or when Toki asked him to take her to Wano.

   Like many other people, Oden had a unique laugh: "Wahahahaha" (わはははは?)

   Kouzuki Sukiyaki Oden's relationship with his father was distant and strained in his youth due to his reckless and violent actions. By the time he was 18, Sukiyaki had had enough of his behavior and disowned him, doing so impersonally by having a messenger send a written decree to him.[4] Oden was not upset when he received the decree, viewing it as his father being unable to contain his greatness. He referred to Sukiyaki as "shogun" rather than by his name or familial title.[24]

   However, their relationship changed when Oden restored order to Kuri two years later. Sukiyaki gained respect for his son as he revoked his disownment and made Oden a daimyo.[25] The two of them saw each other for the final time nine years later, with Sukiyaki calling Oden a "fine man." Oden showed respect for his father by crediting him for his change, while his father could not believe his maturity.[26] After receiving the news of Sukiyaki's death, Oden was solemn and regretted being unable to be at his father's deathbed.[27] However, Oden would never learn that his father had actually been alive the whole time.

   Kouzuki Toki Oden and Toki fall in love. Oden and Toki fall in love.

   Oden loved his wife Toki and cared for her greatly. Even before he knew her, he swam to an island to save her from slavers immediately after hearing her cry for help, even though he was forfeiting the opportunity to join the Whitebeard Pirates that he was on the cusp of achieving. Toki repaid him for saving her by treating his wounds,[28] and although she had hoped that he would take her to Wano, she quickly grew content by just being with him, leading to them falling in love, getting married, and having children while sailing with the Whitebeard Pirates and Roger Pirates.[29]

   When Toki became too sick to continue sailing, Oden intended on staying in Wano with her and their children, but she wished for him to fulfill his dream and so threatened to divorce him if he stayed.[19] When Oden returned for good, he was outraged upon finding out that she had been attacked and injured, immediately setting out to take vengeance. Toki did not wish for Oden to put himself in danger and pleaded that he let it go but could not stop him.[11] When Oden started dancing naked in public, he wondered if Toki would divorce him, but she assured him that she had no intention of doing so.[30]

   Advertisement Momonosuke and Hiyori Oden shows his children the world outside of Wano. Oden shows his children the world outside of Wano.

   Like Toki, Oden loved his son and daughter dearly. While out at sea, Oden and Toki were very attentive to their young children and calmed them when perilous situations arose.[31] After living in Wano for a year while Oden was still at sea, Momonosuke started addressing his father respectfully when they reunited.[32] Oden's death was very hard on Momonosuke and made him very emotional, and Momonosuke desires to take down Kaidou and Orochi to avenge him.[5] Hiyori held immense respect for her father, having proudly declared her heritage as the daughter of a samurai.[33] Oden also bequeathed his favorite swords to both Momonosuke and Hiyori as a memento after his death.

   Allies Retainers Kin'emon and Denjiro were Oden's first followers, becoming immediately devoted to him after seeing him take down the Mountain God and arguing about which one of them would be his first follower.[34] Oden did not wish for them to follow him but let them come inside his house when they stood outside in the rain guarding him. Izou, Kikunojo, Kanjuro, and Raizo were drawn to Oden because they were struggling in their lives,[35] and Inuarashi, Nekomamushi, and Kawamatsu were drawn to him after he saved them from persecution. As with Kin'emon and Denjiro, Oden did not want them following him but had no intention of forcing them to leave.[36]

   Oden decided to put the devotion of his followers to work by having them help him restore order to Kuri, and the criminal Ashura Doji, who had initially wanted to die after Oden defeated him, was swayed by Oden's efforts to restore Kuri and followed him as well, thanking Oden for allowing him to experience peace. When Oden was appointed daimyo, he honored the devotion of his followers by making them his retainers.[37] All of them consider Oden to have saved their lives and possessed unwavering devotion for him, which initially caused them to try stealing money to help him get by.[38] When Yasuie ordered them to become proper and educated samurai to effectively serve Oden as the future shogun, they did so without issue despite their rough backgrounds, shocking Oden with their displays of respect.[39]

   Although Oden's retainers were unwaveringly loyal to him, they were not yes-men and attempted to advise him against making poorly thought-out decisions, though they were usually unsuccessful. Denjiro repeatedly tried to prevent him from giving money to Orochi,[40] and most of the retainers opposed Oden's dream of illegally leaving Wano and exploring the world. Izou went as far as intercepting Oden trying to sail off with the Whitebeard Pirates, though he could not stop him.[41] On the other hand, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi simply wanted to go with Oden wherever he went and so accompanied him as stowaways with both the Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates.[42][43] When he was preparing to return to Wano, Oden recognized that Izou was content with the Whitebeard Pirates and so let him stay with them. The rest of Oden's retainers treated him coldly due to his departure, referring to him as "scoundrel", although they still remained loyal to him and warmed back up to him after he returned.[19][11]

   Oden sacrifices himself to save his retainers. Oden sacrifices himself to save his retainers.

   Oden cared dearly for his retainers, as he was willing to endure the hellish pain of being boiled alive in oil for an entire hour while holding up all of them in order to give them a chance to escape alive after having made a deal with Kaidou to let them go free, though Oden already knew that Kaidou and Orochi would not honor that deal. Thus, he opted to sacrifice himself to allow his retainers to escape as he quickly threw all of them a far distance away the moment Orochi commenced his subordinates to execute all of them by gunfire. All his nine retainers begrudgingly left Oden behind to his fate while crying non-stop, reminiscing on how Oden had saved them as they rushed towards Kuri to save Oden's wife and children.

   Oden had utmost faith in his retainers' abilities, believing that they can realize his unfulfilled wish of opening Wano's borders to the world in his place. In his last breath, Oden warned Kaidou not to underestimate his samurais.

   After Oden was executed, his retainers swore to avenge him and achieve his dream of opening Wano's borders, and they are all actively working to overthrow Orochi and Kaidou. Denjiro took up an alias and acted as a Yakuza with feigned loyalty to Orochi. Denjiro also tended to Hiyori until the final battle.[44] Ashura Doji initially lost faith in this plan due to the toll taken on him and his allies over 20 years,[45] but eventually changed his mind after Yasuie sacrificed himself in Oden's memory.[46] The retainers recruited allies to help them in their fight, but on their planned day of vengeance when it seemed that no one would be joining them, they elected to set sail for Onigashima by themselves and do their very best to avenge Oden. Although this was likely to be suicidal, they were content with doing it because serving Oden was their only purpose in life.[47]

   Unknown to Oden, Kanjuro was actually a member of the Kurozumi Family, sent by Orochi from the very beginning to infiltrate and overthrow the Kouzuki Family. Although Kanjuro put on the perfect act of a loyal retainer and would actually die for the Kouzuki, it was more because he was actually seeking a place to die since losing his parents destroyed his will to live on. Whenever Orochi would ask Oden to loan him money, Kanjuro would secretly bring out double the requested amount, allowing Orochi to stockpile on funding at Oden's expense. Kanjuro also fed Orochi much information on the Kouzuki Family, thus contributing to Kaidou's raid against Oden being so successful.[48]

   Advertisement Whitebeard Pirates When the Whitebeard Pirates came to Wano, Oden immediately wished to join them to fulfill his dream of sailing out of Wano.[49] Although Whitebeard's subordinates quickly grew to like him despite their initial hostility towards him for attacking their captain, Whitebeard refused to let Oden join him because he did not believe the samurai would respond well to authority. Since Oden was persistent, Whitebeard attempted to sail away in the middle of the night, but Oden still managed to get to them and attach himself to the Moby Dick with a chain.[41] Being surprised by the degree of Oden's persistence, Whitebeard decided to allow him to join the crew if he could hold onto that chain for three days. Oden took this challenge to heart and very nearly passed it, only forgoing it in order to save a nearby Toki.[50] However, his compassion for her impressed Whitebeard, and he welcomed Oden onto his crew.[42]

   Oden parties with the Whitebeard Pirates. Oden parties with the Whitebeard Pirates.

   Oden immediately became part of the Whitebeard Pirates' family, with Whitebeard considering him to be a little brother.[51] When Roger requested for Oden to join him on his voyage, Whitebeard adamantly refused to let him take one of his family. However, Oden wished to accompany Roger on his voyage around the globe, and so Whitebeard reluctantly agreed to let him go. Though Whitebeard was annoyed with Oden's decision, Oden did part with the Whitebeard Pirates on good terms.[52] Ultimately, Oden never returned to the Whitebeard Pirates, deciding to return to Wano after reaching the end of the Grand Line with Roger though he did ask Roger to tell Izou to take care of Whitebeard for him.[53] After Oden died, the Whitebeard Pirates eventually learned about Oden's demise by Kaidou's hands several years after it happened due to Wano's isolation. While they knew about Oden's death, they chose not to invade Wano to take revenge, as war against the Beasts Pirates would cause casualties amongst Wano's civilians. Out of respect for Oden, however, Marco and Izou would join Nekomamushi in the Kouzuki Revolution to fulfill Oden's dying wish.

   Roger Pirates Roger took an interest in Oden not long after he joined the Whitebeard Pirates,[54] valuing him for his family's knowledge of the Poneglyphs. Four years later they would meet each other in person as enemies, engaging in a brief clash as their crews battled for each other's treasure. After the battle, Oden expressed his willingness to join Roger on his journey and help him decipher the Road Poneglyphs leading to the final island.

   The Roger Pirates initially were not welcoming toward Oden, considering him to be nothing more than an aide for Roger. However, they quickly warmed up to Oden and began treating him like family, and Oden loved them just as much as he did with the Whitebeard Pirates.[55] Along with the rest of the crew, Oden sobbed uncontrollably when Roger disbanded the crew and departed. The Roger Pirates offered to help Oden in his quest to open Wano's borders, and although he declined, they took him back to Wano.[15][56] When Oden learned of Roger's execution, his tears were mixed with joy at his former captain establishing himself as a legend.[57]

   Advertisement Shimotsuki Yasuie Oden was close with Yasuie, even in his delinquent days. He stayed with Yasuie after being exiled from the Flower Capital and addressed him quite casually.[34] Although Yasuie tolerated Oden staying with him, he made it clear to Oden that he expected him to grow up and succeed his father as shogun. He was very disappointed when Oden said he would rather forgo that and break the law by sailing outside of Wano.[14]

   Thus, Yasuie was quite satisfied when he heard that Oden had restored peace to Kuri.[25] When Orochi succeeded Sukiyaki as shogun and made Oden humiliate himself in public, Yasuie made fun of Oden but still respected him.[30] Even though most of Wano lost respect for Oden during the five years after his return, Yasuie remained on good terms with him. In fact, Oden trusted Yasuie to protect his family when he decided to fight Kaidou.

   Yasuie remained loyal to Oden even after he was executed and slandered by Orochi. 20 years after Oden's death, Yasuie ultimately gave up his life in order to help the plan to avenge him to succeed.[14]

   Hyougoro Family Oden became close with the yakuza boss Hyougoro and his family during Orochi's reign as shogun. They respected Oden even as he humiliated himself in public for five years, with Taka even complimenting him on his dancing. Hyougoro was loyal to Oden and could not tolerate serving someone like Orochi, though Oden warned him to avoid getting into trouble. When Hyougoro was captured and his wife and men were killed, Oden was instantly enraged and set out to avenge them.[58]

   Wano Country Citizens Oden frequently caused uproars with the citizens of Wano during his youth, particularly when he kidnapped women to form a harem in the mountains. Most of the men absolutely hated him, while the women were attracted to him and his charisma, and there was a considerable stir when he came to the Flower Capital at age 18.[59] However, after he took down the Mountain God and was exiled from the Flower Capital, many of the men found themselves drawn to following Oden on his journey and were said to have taken a single step toward him before hesitating and ultimately staying, though wondering what could have been if they had followed him.[60]

   Eleven years later, although Oden had become a daimyo, the Flower Capital citizens still generally viewed him and his followers as delinquents. However, they were pleasantly surprised when they arrived at the Flower Capital in a dignified procession.[61] Oden then became popular among the people, and when Orochi took over for Sukiyaki as shogun and started making oppressive actions, they became very excited at Oden's return and clamored for him to take his rightful spot as shogun.[11]

   Oden humiliates himself to protect the citizens of Wano Country. Oden humiliates himself to protect the citizens of Wano Country.

   However, Orochi threatened to deliver hundreds of kidnapped citizens to Kaidou as a tribute, giving Oden an ultimatum provided that he humiliated himself in front of everyone every week to spare a hundred lives with each dance as per his reparations to the Kurozumi Family. With little choice, Oden started to follow Orochi's terms. Not knowing the truth, the citizens were shocked and disappointed, and their opinion of Oden started to degrade.[62] During Oden's execution, the citizens initially mocked him until Shinobu revealed the reason for Oden's actions during the past five years. Afterwards, the spectators became remorseful for treating Oden poorly and cheered for Oden to survive, and then grieved when Oden was ultimately killed by Kaidou.[63]

   Orochi's administration portrayed Oden as a threat to Wano who wanted to destroy the country by opening its borders. Ultimately, the majority of the people, including those in the Flower Capital, do not believe Orochi's propaganda as they use the Fire Festival to pray for the Kouzuki Family to end Kaidou and Orochi's tyranny.

   Advertisement Enemies Kurozumi Orochi Oden first met Orochi when he was 18 and Orochi was working for Yasuie. He did not think highly of Orochi, calling him a creep when he first saw him and frequently noting his pathetic disposition.[64] When Oden became a daimyo, Orochi frequently asked to borrow money from him, and Oden always obliged despite never being paid back due to feeling sorry for Orochi and respecting his relationship with Yasuie.[40] Orochi approached Oden humbly, but in reality, considered him to be an enemy, as he was actively working to overthrow the Kouzuki Family from the shogunate and rule in Oden's place and was spending the money Oden gave him to manufacture weapons.[65]

   When Oden returned from his voyage and found out that Orochi had not only seized the throne, but had his allies attack Toki and Momonosuke, he instantly became enraged and attempted to slay Orochi.[11] With Orochi's allies preventing Oden from killing him, Orochi put aside pretenses and treated Oden antagonistically, reveling in the trickery he had used to remove the Kouzuki Family from power. Desiring revenge for the crimes committed against the Kurozumi Family, he took full advantage of his power over Oden by forcing him to humiliate himself in public and to grovel in his presence, with Oden being forced to do so to prevent Orochi from offering innocent civilians as sacrifices to Kaidou.[66] Although he and Kaidou offered Oden a chance to live if he were to survive in boiling oil for one hour, Orochi did not honor the promise as he had a firing squad prepared after the hour expired.[63] After executing Oden, Orochi portrayed him to the public as a threat to Wano.[67]

   Kaidou Oden became enemies with Kaidou upon hearing that the Emperor captured Hyougoro and slaughtered Taka and many of his men. This caused him to immediately take up arms and try to take him down.[68] Before they fought, Kaidou mocked Oden for choosing to humiliate himself instead of pressing his rebellion, saying he had none of the Kouzuki Family's dignity. His words did not affect Oden, as he was at peace with his choice. Kaidou heavily respected Oden's strength, and so used trickery and deception to overcome him, first by having him follow a deal with Orochi that would not be honored, then striking him from behind during their battle while he was distracted.[69] Although Kaidou did promise Oden he would let anyone who can survive in the boiling oil for one hour to live, he did not honor the promise as Orochi prepared a firing squad, in which Kaidou did not object. Before killing Oden, Kaidou apologized to the samurai about Kurozumi Higurashi's actions while mentioning that he had killed her.[63]

   World Government and Marines As a former member of both the Whitebeard Pirates and Roger Pirates, Oden became a wanted criminal and earned an unknown bounty.[70] He was infamous enough for Sengoku and Sakazuki, the former and current Fleet Admiral, to still remember him 20 years after his death.[71]

   Advertisement Abilities and Powers “ We will never see a monster samurai of his like again!!! ” — Kaidou on Oden's exceptional level of strength.[72]

   As daimyo of Kuri, Oden had a large amount of power and influence over the region before his death. Being a former member of both the Whitebeard Pirates, as a former division commander, and the Roger Pirates, Oden was a tremendously powerful pirate with great influence on both crews. For several years after Oden's death, Whitebeard kept Oden's spot as the 2nd division commander vacant and noted to Portgas D. Ace, the new 2nd division commander, about the importance and significance of his predecessor, calling Ace arrogant for thinking he could take down Kaidou, a man that not even Oden could defeat.[73] In truth, the only reason why Oden lost to Kaidou was because Kurozumi Higurashi distracted him before he could finish Kaidou off.

   Kaidou envisions Oden behind Luffy alongside other legendary pirates. Kaidou envisions Oden behind Luffy alongside other legendary pirates.

   Oden's strength left a great impression on Kaidou who, even 20 years after his death, regards Oden as one of the few people, such as the Emperors Whitebeard and Shanks, the Pirate King Gol D. Roger, and his former captain, capable of fighting him.[74] His influence even extended toward the members of the Mink Tribe on Zou, with the leaders Inuarashi and Nekomamushi being members of the Nine Red Scabbards.

   The combination of Oden's tremendous combat skills and charisma earned him a significant reputation with his allies and associates, even post-mortem. The Mink Tribe was so loyal toward the Kouzuki Family that all of them were willing to die rather than allow even one of Oden's retainers to be captured. Despite his many conflicts with the yakuza of Wano Country over the years, Oden's death greatly impacted its leaders, causing them to stage an unsuccessful rebellion against his killers.

   His combat prowess was seen at an early age, when he got into massive battles and altercations with powerful samurai and yakuza and survived, causing a high number of casualties over the years. Despite being frequently pursued by authorities in his youth, he was only captured once and eluded capture many times afterwards. One of his most notable feats was his restoration of peace to the formerly lawless Kuri, where he defeated the powerful Ashura Doji and the dangerous criminals who worked under him single-handedly, rounded them up and got them to work under him, including Ashura. Prior to this, he demonstrated vast skill during his time as a laborer by quickly rising to the rank of a chief stonemason in a quarry.[1][4]

   As Oden admitted himself, he had no talent in sailing and navigation.[75]

   Advertisement Voice of All Things Oden hears the voices of the Sea Kings. Oden hears the voices of the Sea Kings.

   Like Roger and Luffy, Oden had the ability to hear the "Voice of All Things",[2] which his son also inherited. On the trip to Fish-Man Island, he could hear the voices of the Sea Kings alongside Roger and could also hear a voice while nearing Zou.

   Philology As a member of the Kouzuki Family, Oden inherited from his father the knowledge and skill to read Poneglyphs and write the ancient script associated with them.[3] He was a capable philologist, able to inscribe Roger's message on the Shandorian Golden Belfry Bell in the same ancient script, as well as decipher all the Poneglyphs the Roger Pirates had found, particularly the Road Poneglyphs, which proved vital in the Roger Pirates' success in locating and sailing to Laugh Tale.

   Culinary Skills Oden was an expert in cooking his favorite Oden hotpot, having frequently cooked it to feed his retainers during his journey around Wano and also during his journey with the Roger Pirates. Oden even managed to use Katsuzo's cremation for cooking a pot of oden.

   Physical Abilities Oden had immense physical strength since infancy, during which he flung his wet nurse across the room. At age four, he obliterated a bear by hurling a boulder at it. By adulthood, Oden could carry a giant carp that he caught at sea by himself and exerted enough physical power in his swordsmanship to clash with Whitebeard's Famous Blade Murakumogiri. To match his tremendous strength, Oden also had an astounding tolerance to pain, as he could hold a hot pot with his bare hands.[4] Oden was extremely agile and quick, as even at the age of 2, he could catch rabbits with his bare hands. As an adult, he could travel across the regions of Wano Country in no time and leap across a huge bridge.

   Oden had immense stamina, durability, and endurance, as he was able to fight against the criminals and ronin of Kuri, led by Ashura Doji, for an entire night alone with multiple wounds, such as arrows sticking out of his body, yet still came out victorious.[76] In his fight with Whitebeard, Oden took a point-blank quake punch from Whitebeard straight to the face and was fine afterwards.[77] Additionally, he held onto a chain while being pulled by the Moby Dick and faced the many dangers and climates of the New World ocean with no protection for three days before eventually letting go, more because he went to rescue Toki than due to exhaustion.[78] When he washed ashore on an island afterward, he received slight treatment from Toki and slept for one night before getting up with exuberant energy, leaving Toki surprised about his tremendous recovery speed.[28] Prior to his prime, when he met Roger and got hit by his Divine Departure (imbued with Armament Haki and coated with Supreme King Haki), Oden got back up immediately with only minor injuries.[79] In his fight against Kaidou, Oden was hit by his Blast Breath not just once, but twice, and powered through them both times.[80]

   As a testament to his monstrous strength and endurance, Oden was able to hold up all nine of his retainers, who are all very large, on a thick wooden plank while his lower half was submerged in a large pot of boiling oil for over an hour, which killed an average man in seconds despite getting out, an unprecedented feat that even impressed Kaidou.[81] Oden survived the boiling even after the temperature had increased to over 700 degrees and continued to rise. Despite being near death, Oden could still muster the strength to throw all nine of his retainers far away from the execution site. However, it appeared that Oden reached his limit from this, as Kaidou noted that his body was dead.[63]

   Oden was an immensely skilled and powerful swordsman, having developed his variation of Two Sword Style,[82] which Oden himself called "Oden Two Sword Style" (おでん二刀流, Oden Nitōryū?, literally meaning "Oden Two Sword/Blade Style," VIZ: "Oden Two-Sword Style").[83] He had immense prowess and ambidexterity in dual wielding the legendary swords, Enma and Ame no Habakiri. According to Oden, Oden Two Sword Style is the greatest sword style.[84]

   Even at age 9, Oden was already such a talented master swordsman that he waged war against the entire yakuza and was able to fight against them all by himself in the Flower Capital until the age of 10, when he was arrested for almost killing someone.[4] At age 18, he could strike down the massive boar hailed as the Mountain God with a single attack.[85] Although the Mountain God was cut in half by Oden's attack, Oden's attack did not kill the Mountain God nor the citizens that it devoured because the cut was so clean and precise that the severed parts of the Mountain God were able to be put back together.[86] Oden defeated all of the outlaws and ronin of Kuri, including the region's most dangerous criminal, Ashura Doji (someone noted to be worth 100 men in battle), within a single night.[1][76] In his fight with Edward Newgate, Oden was able to clash and trade blows with him and matched the force of Whitebeard's quake punch by using Tougen Shirataki.[77] During his adventures with the Whitebeard Pirates, Oden easily sank a large pirate ship by cutting it in half. Due to his adventures with the Whitebeard and Roger Pirates, he was stated to have grown many times stronger compared to before, returning to Wano "invincible and triumphant."[87] In his first encounter with Kaidou, Oden managed to clash with him on equal terms by using only one sword.[88] In his final fight with Kaidou, Oden became the first to wound the nigh-invulnerable pirate, whose durability was greatly enhanced by his transforming into a giant dragon, permanently scarring him and sending him crashing into the ground.

   20 years after his death, Kaidou still acknowledged Oden as the strongest samurai, declaring that there would never be another samurai who could match Oden. During the Raid on Onigashima, though four of his subordinates—Kin'emon, Denjiro, Ashura Doji, and Inuarashi—inflicted a simultaneous wound on him in the exact same spot Oden scarred him, he stated that it was still shallow.[89][90] The closest person who came close to matching Oden was Zoro, who despite suffering severe injuries still managed to give Kaidou a second scar in his Human-Beast Form using his strongest technique, though he intended on knocking the Emperor off his feet, still earning his respect for the feat alone nonetheless.[91] However, the swordsman was still lacking compared to Oden in terms of strength, because he still couldn't control Enma, who Oden could wield as if it were as light as a feather.

   Advertisement Haki Main article: Haki Oden was among the very small number of people in the world who could use all three types of Haki. In Wano, he, in particular, was stronger among their Samurai, as he could easily wield Enma, a Famous Blade that drains its user's Haki to a near-fatal level from childhood. His father, Kouzuki Sukiyaki, complimented that no one other than Oden could tame Enma, leaving Zoro in awe, who wondered how he could wield it, despite how much Haki was drained from him, treating it as if it were as light as a feather.

   Supreme King Haki Oden and Whitebeard's Supreme King Haki clash. Oden and Whitebeard's Supreme King Haki clash.

   Oden possessed the ability to use Supreme King Haki, a rare form of Haki that only one in several million people in the world can use. He has mastered Supreme King Haki to the extent that he can render his targets completely unconscious. In his initial encounter with Edward Newgate 30 years ago, the sudden clash between them created a notable effect similar to lightning, as well as released a shockwave. This was also shown during his clash against Kaidou.[92][93]

   While not shown in the manga, Oden used Supreme King's more common effect in the anime once, making a bunch of Kaidou's subordinates faint.[80] After an unconscious Luffy knocked out a bunch of Kaidou's henchmen with his Supreme King Haki, Ashura Doji noted that Luffy used "Oden's special trick,"[94] indicating that Oden has used the more common effect of Supreme King Haki at least once, though it is unknown when.

   Non-canonically, Oden is among the small handful of people capable of using the advanced application of "infusing" Supreme King Haki into their body or weapons, his swords in particular.[95][96]

   Oden was an immensely powerful master of Armament Haki, known as "Ryuo" in Wano. He is noted as being the sole samurai to tame the Famous Blade, Enma, infamous for its gluttonous Haki-draining properties, which even Kin'emon, the Nine Red Scabbards' fearless leader, was afraid of wielding.[97] As a testament to this, Oden's mastery was superior to that of Roronoa Zoro, a powerful swordsman and Armament Haki user, who had his entire arm emaciated the first time but managed to regain the absorbed Haki. It was such that during Enma testing, Zoro couldn't satiate it without going all out, acknowledging that he was lacking compared to Oden.[98]

   Even at age 18, Oden was masterful in using Ryuo, as he imbued both of his swords, hardening them and letting him cleanly bisect the enormous Mountain God with one slash.[85] At age 29, Oden hardened his swords and then clashed against one of the 12 Supreme Grade Swords, Murakumogiri, which belonged to Edward Newgate, an immensely powerful Armament Haki master in his prime.[92] As a true testament to his prowess, Oden, at age 39, using Advanced Ryuo, was able to severely injure and leave a massive permanent scar on the nigh-indestructible Kaidou while in his dragon form,[99] whereas Luffy, using Boundman, did not faze him in human form. In the anime, Oden showcased the advanced application of emitting Armament Haki out from his blades during his battle against Ashura Doji.[100] Within the anime, when Oden uses advanced Armament Haki, it is shown as a red-colored flowing aura.

   History Biography Chaotic Youth Oden waging war against the yakuza. Oden waging war against the yakuza.

   Oden was born in the Flower Capital of Wano Country to the shogun Kouzuki Sukiyaki 59 years before the present day, and he began committing outrageous acts as soon as infancy. When he was less than a year old, he threw his wet nurse across the room. When he was 2, he caught two rabbits with his bare hands, and at age 4, he obliterated a bear by hurling a boulder at it. Starting at age 6, he started roaming the Red-Light District and spent the castle's money at the pleasure halls. By the time he was 8, he started drinking booze and began picking fights with gamblers. At age 9, even the yakuza had banned him from their casino. This resulted in Oden setting their casino on fire and starting a conflict with them, culminating in his capture a year later after he almost killed someone.

   As punishment and for rehabilitation as a prisoner, Oden was sentenced to hard labor in the quarries where his talent blossomed, with him working well enough there to gain significant prestige, rising to the rank of Chief Stonemason. He then left prison and reformed his ways. When he was 14, he attempted to help the Flower Capital citizens during a terrible drought as he was unable to bear the sight of people suffering from dried-out wells. He curved the river itself to run through the capital, however, this resulted in the Capital becoming flooded, and the authorities attempted to capture Oden again. To escape, Oden set out to sea for the very first time but was quickly forced to return to land. When he was 15 and still in hiding, he threatened the priest of a secluded mountain into sheltering him. He then kidnapped many women from the Capital at night and formed his own personal harem. Said women were free to leave but preferred to stay with Oden. This however didn't stop the women's loved ones, as well as many powerful samurai, to go after Oden to stop him, but Oden stood his ground, resulting in the massive Harem Revolt, where the Hyougoro Family was also involved. For the next three years, Oden attempted to set out to sea 38 times. He quickly failed every time, though he managed to survive.

   “ Wahaha!! So I'm disowned, eh? Banished from the capital!! A laughable move, shogun!! All this means is that you, no, the Flower Capital itself - is unable to contain my greatness!! Disown away!! I shall cross to a new riverbank!! Wherever the sun sets, that shall be my bed!!! ” — Oden's reaction to being disowned and exiled.[102]

   Oden takes on the Mountain God. Oden takes on the Mountain God.

   At age 18, he went into the Flower Capital and proceeded to cook and eat a pot of Oden soup, heated by using the fire of the burned corpse of a man called Katsuzo, much to the initial dismay of his mourning family members. Turns out that the man called Katsuzo was a friend of Oden and it was Oden's way of honoring him, sharing one last drink with his deceased friend. After apologizing to the family members for the disturbance and leaving the crematorium, he saw that a Mountain God was attacking the Flower Capital and overheard Kin'emon and Denjiro talking about the Mountain God's offspring being in their possession. Oden then told them to give him the giant boar's offspring.[4] Oden then took the white boar when Kin'emon tried attacking the Mountain God. After Kin'emon was overpowered, Oden used the white boar to get the Mountain God's attention. As the giant beast charged at him, Oden struck it down with a single strike. When Kin'emon was going to take responsibility for the Mountain God's attack, Oden knocked him out and took the blame himself. His father's aide then delivered a message to him, saying that he was disowned and exiled from the Flower Capital. Oden was not upset when he received the decree, viewing it as his father and the Flower Capital being unable to contain his greatness. Out of gratitude and awe, Kin'emon and Denjiro began following him.[103]

   Advertisement Reforming Kuri “ Oden rounded up the lawless ruffians of Kuri, and with his considerable strength, he turned that hellish wasteland into a place worthy of being called home. In recognition of this remarkable feat, shogun Kouzuki Sukiyaki retracted his disownment and gave his son the title of "daimyo of Kuri." ” — Oden becomes daimyo.[104]

   After leaving the capital, Oden moved to Shimotsuki Yasuie's residence at Hakumai, where he also met Kurozumi Orochi, who was working as a servant there. Yasuie later got mad at Oden for living as a vagabond instead of rising to his father's challenge. Oden told Yasuie how he wanted to set out to sea, and Yasuie replied that he had to become a competent samurai before he could be so selfish.[14]

   After hearing about Ashura Doji, Oden decided to journey to Kuri, which was Wano's most lawless region. During the journey, he was followed by Kin'emon and Denjiro. Along the way, the group was joined by Kikunojo and Izou at Ringo, Kanjuro at Kibi, and Raizo at Udon. Oden entered Kuri alone and fought all the bandits there, including Ashura, Kuri's most dangerous criminal. By the time his companions arrived, Oden had defeated all of his enemies in the span of a single night. He then rounded up the lawless ruffians of Kuri, and with his considerable strength, he turned the hellish wasteland into a place worthy of being called home, bringing peace to Kuri.[105] He had the residents work to build a village to live in, and he built the Paradise Farm to feed them. Oden was then granted the title of daimyo of Kuri at the age of 20 after Sukiyaki heard about his deeds.[1][25] In addition, Oden chose the companions he made on his journey as well as the reformed Ashura to be his retainers.[106] After Orochi quit being Yasuie's servant, Oden lent him money to support him.

   33 years before the present, while fishing at Kuri Beach, Oden discovered Inuarashi, Nekomamushi, and Kawamatsu being tormented by humans who persecuted them. Oden rescued the three and lectured the people who tried to set them on fire. The three then followed him back to Kuri and became his retainers.[36] Three years later, Oden paid the Mountain God and its child, who had grown much taller, a visit and proceeded to use the latter to carry his palanquin while traveling through the Flower Capital along with his retainers to pay his father a visit after hearing that he had fallen ill. As Oden paid him a visit, he was relieved seeing his father invigorated. Sukiyaki is proud that his son became a great man and had a turnaround, but Oden answered that he has only been made great and has not changed a bit. Unknown to Oden, this was the last time he and his father exchanged words.[61]

   Oden leaves Wano. Oden leaves Wano.

   Later that year, Oden learned that a pirate ship had arrived at Itachi Port, prompting him to go there. Charging towards the Whitebeard Pirates, he clashed with their captain while informing Whitebeard that he wanted to join his crew.[49] Afterwards, Oden and his retainers had a feast with the crew. Oden kept asking to join only to be turned down by Whitebeard himself because he correctly sensed that Oden had no experience in subordinating himself to another person up to that point, and Whitebeard knew how catastrophic that could be, having served aboard a ship full of such individuals. This caused Oden's enthusiasm to balk, aware that he could not argue against the pirate's reasoning. Two weeks later, the Whitebeard Pirates tried to leave Oden behind, but he caught up to them and held onto a chain he attached to the ship. Izou also held onto Oden and got dragged away with him. After pulling Izou up onto the ship, Whitebeard gave Oden a test. If he could hold onto the chain for three days, he would be allowed into the crew. Just when Oden only had ten minutes left, he heard a woman in trouble and let go. He drifted to an island and scared away some kidnappers who mistook him for a sea monster, saving the woman in the process. On the next day, he got acquainted with the woman, who was named Toki. They were then confronted by Karma and his crew, but Whitebeard came and defeated Karma. Understanding that Oden let go because of his desire to help, Whitebeard allowed him on board, telling Oden that they're going on a grand adventure beyond anything he can imagine. After boarding and being welcomed by the crew, Oden discovered that Inuarashi and Nekomamushi had stowed away on the ship, waiting for Oden. Afterwards, Oden went on adventures with the Whitebeard Pirates.[108]

   On his journey, Oden wrote his adventures in a journey log and explored multiple islands and places around the entire world, being absolutely in awe of the things that he had never seen before. He also became a notorious outlaw with a bounty. He found the geography of the world astounding and the government overseeing it as unbelievable. Having grown closer with Toki and marrying her at some point, the couple became parents in their second year aboard the Moby Dick and named their son Kouzuki Momonosuke. Later, as the crew was growing in numbers, Whitebeard split its members into five divisions, and Oden was appointed as the commander of the second division. Two years later, he and Toki would have a daughter whom they named Kouzuki Hiyori.[109]

   Docking at an island, the Whitebeard Pirates unexpectedly encountered the Roger Pirates, leading to Oden rushing towards the crew to take their treasure. Engaging the crew in battle, he drew the attention of Gol D. Roger and was knocked away by the pirate. Running back to his opponent, Oden was left amazed at how his captain and Roger were fighting each other. Afterwards, the two crews began fighting for the next three days until a cease fire was made on the fourth day. A few days into it, Oden had a discussion with the two captains, during which he informed Roger that he could read the Poneglyphs. Revealing his intention to reach the rumored final island of the Grand Line and become Pirate King, Roger left Oden frozen from being impressed. Roger begged Oden to join him for a year in order to get to the island, and Whitebeard, despite being against it because he didn't want to lose someone he considered a brother, ultimately honored Oden's choice to join Roger, leading to him parting ways with the Whitebeard Pirates.

   Boarding the Oro Jackson with his wife and children, he discovered Inuarashi and Nekomamushi had followed him on board. The crew sailed to Mock Town and afterwards reached Skypiea, where Oden read a Poneglyph and engraved Roger's message on the Shandorian Golden Belfry Bell.[55] After returning to the ocean, the crew sailed towards Water 7, during which Oden informed Roger that Wano had a Road Poneglyph. Docking at the island, Oden invited Cutty Flam to join the crew, but the latter declined the offer. From there, the crew sailed to Fish-Man Island, where Oden read the island's two Poneglyphs and learned from Neptune that Poseidon is a mermaid. Oden later read another Poneglyph after venturing to another island. Upon Toki becoming sick, the pirates dropped her and her children off at Wano alongside Nekomamushi and Inuarashi, during which Oden could tell his country had changed despite not looking at it. Afterwards, the crew learned the contents of Wano's Poneglyph. Arriving at Zou, Oden felt a different vibe from the island that did not sit well with him and Roger. Venturing into the country, the crew found the last Road Poneglyph, leading to Oden discovering his family's ties to the Mink Tribe after seeing his clan's seal above the stone. Having left Zou, the crew discovered the location of the final island of the New World and sailed there. There, the crew found Joy Boy's treasure and laughed when they saw it, leading to Roger naming the island Laugh Tale.[19]

   Grateful he joined Roger, he declined offers from his crew members to assist him in opening Wano's borders and instead sought to make his vision a reality with the aid of his retainers and by becoming Shogun.[15]

   Advertisement Homecoming and Death Oden reunites with his family. Oden reunites with his family.

   Over 20 years before the present, Roger decided to disband the crew, and Oden parted ways with him as the Pirate King left the ship. Afterwards, the rest of the crew returned Oden to Wano Country, and he bid farewell to them as well. Oden then reunited with his family and retainers. He heard about Orochi becoming shogun and how he had been oppressing the citizens with the aid of Kaidou. He also heard about how his family was threatened and that Toki was injured while protecting Momonosuke. Enraged, Oden ordered his retainers to guard his family before charging to the Flower Capital.

   He arrived at the castle, fought his way through the guards, kicked in the door to the throne room, and rushed directly at the panicking Orochi, ignoring his pleas that Kaidou won't take this attack lying down, attempting to kill Orochi.[11] Oden's attack was stopped by Kurozumi Semimaru, who used a barrier to protect Orochi. Confronted by Kaidou, Oden proceeded to clash evenly with him, and to stop them from destroying the castle, Orochi came up with a deal to blackmail Oden while also showing him a room with hundreds of hostages. If Oden danced naked in the Flower Capital once a week, the hostages Orochi has taken, as well as the citizens of Wano, would be spared. They also promised to leave Wano in five years. Holding onto the deal in the hopes of preventing Orochi from offering innocent people as tribute for the Beasts Pirates and to avoid involving innocent lives in a battle between him and Kaidou, Oden left the castle, and a few hours later, he started dancing naked in the streets of the Flower Capital. He did this once a week, causing the people of Wano to lose faith and respect for him. Fearing the worst when the ones he cares about are involved, Oden refused to explain his motivations to his retainers when they wanted to know the truth. One year later, Oden received a foreign newspaper and read about Roger's execution, to which he cried, then laughed, then cried again.

   Oden injures Kaidou. Oden injures Kaidou.

   On the second year since his return, Oden asked Toki if she wanted a divorce, to which she asked if he was joking. Later that year, Oden paid Hyougoro and Taka a visit. Three years later, Oden heard that Hyougoro had been captured for his defiance and that Taka was killed. Grieving over the fate of Hyougoro and his wife, Oden finally decided to gather his retainers to take down Kaidou.[110] Before leaving Kuri, Oden gave Toki a letter.[111] On the way to Onigashima, Oden and his retainers were confronted by Kaidou and his crew in the Udon region. Oden asked Kaidou why he and his men are so thoroughly prepared and how they knew that Oden and his retainers were on their way, to which Kaidou replied that there may be a spy in Oden's castle. Kaidou mocks Oden for choosing the method where nobody gets hurt, saying how he's just like Newgate and Roger, mighty but soft. Not regretting the choice he made 5 years ago, Oden proceeded to blast through Kaidou's army. In the ensuing battle, Shinobu joined Oden's side, and it was said that the battle lasted longer than expected as Oden's strength surpassed the enemy's imagination. Kaidou hits Oden with Blast Breath, but Oden gets back up and uses Togen Totsuka to severely injure and scar Kaidou.

   Oden is defeated by Kaidou. Oden is defeated by Kaidou.

   As Oden was about to deliver the finishing blow, he was distracted by Kurozumi Higurashi, who disguised herself as Momonosuke and pretended to be a hostage so that Kaidou could strike him down. After his defeat, Oden claimed that Shinobu was not his ally to save her from the Beast Pirates and allow her to walk free. Oden and the Scabbards were then imprisoned in the Flower Capital and sentenced to be boiled alive in three days.[69] Toki visited Oden at the prison, and Oden handed his swords—Ame no Habakiri and Enma—to her and asked her to pass them on to their children.[112]

   On the day of the execution, Oden made a deal with Kaidou to allow those who survive the execution to go free, and Kaidou gave him an hour. Oden entered the pot, and before his retainers joined him, he lifted a plank upon his shoulders and ordered his retainers to stand on top of the plank, proceeding to hold them all up.[81] As the citizens who watched the execution continued to mock Oden, Shinobu, who spied on Oden and Orochi's deal, called them fools and revealed the reason for Oden's actions during the past five years: protecting and saving them. Orochi desired revenge for the crimes committed against the Kurozumi Family, and he threatened to deliver hundreds of kidnapped citizens to Kaidou as a tribute, giving Oden an ultimatum provided that he humiliated himself in front of everyone every week to spare a hundred lives with each dance as per his reparations to the Kurozumi Family. To protect the citizens, prevent a fight against Orochi and Kaidou that would've endangered a lot of innocent lives, and being left with little choice, Oden started to follow Orochi's terms. Oden also traveled from region to region every week to make sure that nothing had changed. In the end, Shinobu points out that the true fools are the Wano people, who disrespected Oden while he was secretly saving them.

   After the citizens heard how Oden protected them all this time during the past five years, they started cheering for Oden's effort to survive, and Oden appreciated that. As the boiling in the pot passed 700 degrees and continued to rise while Oden endured the hour, he explained to his retainers that it was the Kouzuki Clan that closed the country to the rest of the world to protect them from a great external power. He also stated that the world awaits a certain figure and that Wano must be prepared to welcome and work with them when that figure appears after an 800-year span. Being certain that Orochi and Kaidou will kill him no matter what, Oden requested his retainers to open Wano's borders in his stead. Even though Orochi continued to raise the heat even more, Oden didn't die. Oden successfully survived the hour, but Orochi summoned a firing squad to execute Oden and his retainers. Oden once again told his retainers to open Wano's borders before throwing them far away from the pot. As the Scabbards fled, Oden told Kaidou to not underestimate his Samurai and how he's a story to accompany his drinks. Oden's last thoughts were of his family, and as Kaidou shot Oden in the head, Oden died with a smile as his body sank fully into the pot.[113]

   Advertisement Legacy “ But if we truly leapt into the future, we would find a way to fulfill Lord Oden's wish, and strike down Orochi and Kaidou!! So that this country could be opened at last!! ” — Kin'emon to Kouzuki Toki after Oden's death.[114]

   His death was deeply mourned by the rest of the country and his noble reputation was fully restored to the rest of the people of Wano, causing tons of people to take arms and ready to rebel against Orochi's regime and the Beasts Pirates in his name and the Kouzuki Family. Kaidou attacked the rest of Oden's family after Oden's death, but his children survived as Toki sent Momonosuke 20 years forward in time[115] and Kawamatsu and later Denjiro kept Hiyori safe.[116] Sometime after Oden's execution, Kaidou's son Yamato discovered his journal and kept it.[117]

   Successfully getting rid of their biggest obstacle in taking over Wano, Kaido and Orochi turned it into a pirate country and subjected its people to tyranny for the next 20 years. Oden was vilified by Orochi's administration, who informed the populace that he had attempted to destroy Wano in his quest to open its borders.[118] Sympathizing with the Kouzuki Family became a high crime, one that even children were punished heavily for committing.[119] Orochi was officially recognized as a hero for defeating Oden.[67]

   However, in spite of Orochi's attempts to portray Oden in a negative light, thousands of Wano citizens remained loyal to him and his family due to Oden's selfless action.[115] These included the other four daimyo and the yakuza bosses, and Orochi and Kaidou had to resort to killing or imprisoning them to silence them.[120][121] In fact, the people, including those in the Flower Capital, would use the Fire Festival to pray for the Kouzuki Family and the rebels to end Kaidou and Orochi's reign of terror.

   Before he died, Oden told his retainers to complete his quest to open Wano's borders. After being sent forward in time, Momonosuke, Kin'emon, Kanjuro, Raizo, and Kikunojo recruited all of the remaining Nine Red Scabbards aside from Denjiro and thousands of other Kouzuki Family sympathizers to rise up and bring down Orochi and Kaidou. Additionally, they went abroad and formed an alliance with the Straw Hat Pirates and Heart Pirates to increase their fighting power, and the mink citizens of Zou that Inuarashi and Nekomamushi ruled over were also recruited.[115][122]

   Several years after his death, Whitebeard heard about Kaidou killing Oden. However, despite this, the Whitebeard Pirates did not storm Wano Country to attempt to take revenge, knowing there would be many casualties among the citizens there if they did.

   Yamato, who admired Oden before his death, was devastated when he was killed and, upon finding his journal, held dearly to it like a bible. Yamato is so devoted to Oden, to the point of adopting a similar fashion style like him and intends on fulfilling his dream of reopening Wano's borders.[117]

   His daughter Hiyori, chose to bequeath her heirloom Enma to Zoro partially due to seeing Oden's image in Zoro's potential as a swordsman, as Zoro became the second swordsman to scar Kaidou as Oden had done, it would also be crucial to the Kouzuki revolution as Zoro used Enma to defeat the All-Star King, cementing the defeat of the Beast Pirates.

   20 years after Oden's execution, his retainer Kanjuro, who unbeknownst to him had been operating as a spy for the Kurozumi Family for their entire time together, used his Devil Fruit powers to draw a perfect replica of him and bring the drawing to life. Kanjuro used this Oden drawing to trick the other Scabbards and ambush them, with "Oden" claiming that he had survived due to Toki sending him into the future. The ruse fooled a good portion of the Scabbards, but Ashura Doji and Raizo, citing the nature of Toki's powers, immediately saw through it. Kanjuro had attached explosives to the Oden drawing and attempted to blow it up and kill all of his former comrades, but Ashura was able to drive it out and sacrificed himself in the explosion to protect the rest.[123]

   Later, Kanjuro disguised himself as Oden when he directly confronted Momonosuke and the others. Although Kikunojo knew it was a ruse, she faltered in striking Oden, so Kanjuro stabbed her, seriously injuring her as repayment for the fatal wound she had previously given him. After Kanjuro removed the disguise, Kin'emon struck down Kanjuro.[124]

He was enshrined with various fallen allies, including Toki, Yasuie, the other fallen daimyo, Izou, and Ashura Doji.[130]

    Donquino is a large man with thin limbs and short dark-colored hair and long sideburns. He wears a red modern captain's hat, a red and white striped sleeveless shirt, blue slacks, and dark shoes. He often has a pipe in his mouth. He also has an anchor tattooed on both arms.

    Personality Donquino is a jolly person, as he is often seen laughing and with a large smile. However, he was rather sad when Roger and Oden left the crew.[5] Like any pirate, he loves treasure, and was very pleased when they managed to capture great wealth in the God Valley.[6]

    Relationships Crew He is loyal to his crew and respects the captain, sharing joy with them during long voyages and mourning the loss of crew members.[5] However, for his own sake, he may ignore the captain's orders or try to circumvent them whenever possible.[7]

    Others Shakuyaku Like the vast majority (if not all) of his crew, Donquino was in love with Shakky and had no qualms about going to God Valley to save her. To get ahead of the captain, his comrades, including Donquino, trampled Roger into the ground immediately upon their arrival.[7]

    Abilities and Powers Being that he was a member of the legendary Roger Pirates, he may have been extraordinarily strong. He demonstrated incredible physical strength, easily pulling a cartload of treasure single-handedly, along with Millet Pine and his mace, and Erio. Donquino ran, not just pulled the cart on foot.[6]

    As the crew's helmsman, he was responsible for guiding their ship, the Oro Jackson, through many harsh seas, including those of the New World.

    History Past 44 years ago, Donquino was already a member of the Roger Pirates, and assisted in an attack on the Kuja Pirates, with the goal of having Shakuyaku join them. While they did so, Gol D. Roger rallied his men, in preparation for a fight with a Marine Ship carrying Monkey D. Garp.[8] Two years later, after Shakuyaku's retirement and settlement on Hachinosu, Donquino and his crewmates approached Roger to convince him to travel there.[9]

    38 years ago, Donquino was present alongside his crew to rescue Shakuyaku from the World Noble's Native Hunting Competition in an event that would be later known as the God Valley Incident.[7] After Silvers Rayleigh rescued Shakuyaku, the rest of Roger Pirates focused on stealing the treasure. Donquino hauled a cartload of treasure onto the ship, while Millet Pine and Erio fought off other pirates who wanted to take the loot.[6]

    26 years ago, on an island in Paradise, the Roger Pirates defeated a battalion of Marines when they spotted the Whitebeard Pirates approaching them.[10] After the two crews battled each other for four days, Donquino participated in a gift exchange, toasting with Blenheim.[1]

    Not long after Kouzuki Oden and his family boarded the Oro Jackson, Donquino and his crewmates celebrated their arrival.[1]

    Donquino was present when Roger announced that he would disband the crew, and he sobbed when they dropped Roger off and again when they took Oden back to his home at Wano Country.[5] After the Roger Pirates disbanded, it is unknown what became of Donquino.

    BOTH KID AND KILLER SHOULD HAVE SLIGHT SCOTTISH ACCENTS

    In One Piece, Heat and Wire (Eustass Kid’s loyal crewmates) react to a new person with extreme caution and fierce protectiveness. Because they were once rival gang leaders in the South Blue, they operate under a strict code of trust and view any newcomer as a potential threat to "the boss" (Kid).How They Would React to a New PersonWire (The Silent Enforcer): Wire is taciturn and serious. He would likely stand in the background with his trademark mopish face and arms crossed, sizing the new person up. He relies heavily on intimidation and his spiked gear to keep strangers at a distance.Heat (The Fiery Vanguard): Heat is far more aggressive and vocal. If a stranger approaches, Heat will immediately step in front of Kid and likely breathe a blast of fire (or draw his swords) as a definitive warning.What Happens if the Newcomer is...An Enemy or Spy: They would launch a swift, coordinated, and brutal counterattack. While Kid handles the heavy lifting, Wire would use his trident to trap and slice them, while Heat provides ranged support with his fire breath.A Potential Crewmate: They would remain highly skeptical. The crew was heavily betrayed by Scratchmen Apoo and Basil Hawkins, so trust is a major issue for them. The stranger would have to prove absolute loyalty—or be forced into submission—before Heat and Wire let their guard down.

    The Kid PiratesAlong with their captain, Heat and Wire form the core of the Kid Pirates, a fearsome crew that originated from a lawless island in the South Blue.Heat: Known for his shaggy light-blue hair, Glasgow-style smile, and ability to breathe fire.Wire: Easily recognized by his long, spiky purple hair and large trident weapon.Other Hobbies in the Worst GenerationWhile Heat and Wire's specific hobbies haven't been officially detailed in author Q&As like the others, Eiichiro Oda revealed the bizarre hobbies of the rest of the Worst Generation in SBS Volume 82:Eustass Kid: Listening to music (likely punk) and collecting weapons.Killer: Playing the drums and cooking.

    The Kid Pirates are a notorious rookie pirate crew from the manga and anime series One Piece. Led by the violent and ambitious captain Eustass Kid, they are part of the elite rookie group known as the Worst Generation.Captain and Core CrewEustass "Captain" Kid: The captain hails from the South Blue. He ate the Jiki Jiki no Mi (Magnet-Magnet Fruit), allowing him to control metal and create massive mechanical arms. His high bounty initially surpassed Luffy's due to the high civilian casualties left in his wake.Killer ("Massacre Soldier"): Kid's right-hand man and vice-captain, recognizable by his horned mask and use of scythe-blades.Heat and Wire: Combat officers who help back up Kid and Killer during major conflicts.Crew Size: The crew consists of 31 members total, featuring a heavy metal and punk aesthetic.

    The Kid Pirates are one of the most prominent, ruthless, and tightly-knit crews of the Worst Generation in One Piece, famously known for causing massive civilian casualties and boasting a heavy metal, punk-rock aesthetic. Beneath their bloodthirsty public reputation lies a crew built on deep-seated childhood trauma, fierce isolationism, and an unshakeable fraternal loyalty.Crew Origins & FoundationsAs revealed by Eiichiro Oda in SBS Volume 104, the core of the crew grew up on an isolated, lawless island in the South Blue that lacked World Government protection.The Four Gangs: The island was ruled by four local gangs, led individually by Eustass Kid, Killer, Wire, and Heat.The Shared Tragedy: Despite daily turf wars, they all shared a close bond and a mutual childhood crush on a girl named Victoria Shiruton Doruyanaika. When a malicious rival gang murdered Victoria, the four leaders united out of grief and rage to completely overthrow the island's criminal underworld.Setting Sail: Following their victory, Kid formed the Kid Pirates, naming their ship the Victoria Punk in her honor, with Killer, Wire, and Heat serving as his founding subordinates.Core Internal Dynamics & Relationships1. Eustass Kid & Killer (The Dynamic Duo)The relationship between Captain Kid and his First Mate, Killer, is the emotional anchor of the entire crew. Unlike many pirate hierarchies, they treat each other as absolute equals and brothers.The Voice of Reason: Kid is inherently boisterous, hot-headed, and quick to extreme violence. Killer acts as his level-headed anchor, serving as the sole voice of reason capable of calming Kid down and steering his reckless ambition.Mutual Protection: Their loyalty is absolute. When Killer was captured by Orochi and forced to consume a failed SMILE fruit—turning him into the tragic laughing warrior "Kamazou"—Kid broke out of the Udon Prisoner Mine solely to rescue him, weeping openly at his friend's mental torture.2. The Officers (Heat and Wire)While they rarely steal the spotlight, Heat and Wire hold a profound respect for Kid's leadership. Because they transitioned directly from rival gang leaders to loyal crewmates, their dedication is rooted in history rather than simple fear. They are highly protective of Kid and are willing to fight to the death alongside him against overwhelming entities like Emperors of the Sea.3. Deep Loyalty Beneath an Edgy ExteriorThough the Kid Pirates present themselves as arrogant and aloof, they care for one another deeply. Kid's primary motivation during the Wano Arc was not just defeating Kaido, but ensuring the safety of his missing crew. When Big Mom temporarily knocked Kid unconscious, the entire crew valiantly threw themselves in harm's way to protect his body.

    The Kid Pirates operate with a strict "Us vs. The World" mentality, a psychological trait born from growing up without systemic protection.RelationshipNature of DynamicKey Outcome / ImpactMonkey D. LuffyIntense, bitter rivalryKid views Luffy as his primary roadblock to becoming Pirate King. While they occasionally form grudging alliances (Sabaody, Wano), Kid despises cooperating with him.Trafalgar LawTactical, cynical cooperationNeither trust each other, but their complementary tactical abilities allowed them to successfully awaken their Devil Fruits and defeat Big Mom.Scratchmen Apoo & Basil HawkinsSevere, scarring betrayalKid attempted to build an alliance to take down Shanks. Apoo's malicious insider betrayal to Kaido fractured the alliance and deeply traumatized Kid's worldview.The Anti-Alliance StanceThe betrayal by the On Air and Hawkins pirates permanently closed Kid off from diplomacy. Following Wano, he explicitly stated that he would never trust an outsider again, relying strictly on his tight-knit family of 31 punk-rock crewmates. This fierce, uncompromising isolationism eventually became their tragic undoing when they recklessly challenged Red-Haired Shanks alone at Elbaf without an extended fleet or proper military backing.

    Eustass Kid and Trafalgar Law's dynamic in One Piece often features Kid aggressively teasing or "rage-baiting" Law and the Heart Pirates, pushing Law's buttons through constant bravado, insults, and competing for the spotlight.The Rivalry and DynamicContrasting Personalities: Kid is hot-headed, loud, and aggressive, while Law is cool, calculated, and sarcastic.Constant Bickering: During the Wano Country arc and routine alliances, Kid routinely provokes Law, mocking his plans or calling out his soft spots to get a rise out of him.Mutual Annoyance: Law tries to maintain his dignity as a strategic captain, making his inevitable irritation prime comedic material for fans comparing the two Worst Generation crews. Eustass Kid famously rage-baits Monkey D. Luffy and Trafalgar Law during their departure from Wano, treating the fellow captains like uncool amateurs and underdogs to trigger their massive competitive egos.The Dynamic Between the CaptainsThe Wano Exit Tease: Kid deliberately provokes Luffy and Law by acting superior about their route choices and capabilities.Falling for the Trap: Despite just defeating two Emperors, Luffy and Law immediately take the bait, abandoning their composure to argue like children over who is less scared or more capable.Comedy Gold: The interaction highlights how childish and petty the worst generation's biggest names can be when they are put in the same room.

    The confirmed and estimated heights for the key members of the Kid Pirates reflect their massive, towering builds compared to normal humans in the One Piece world: Eustass Kid stands at 205 cm (6'9"), and Killer stands at 195 cm (6'6). Heat is 7'0". Wire is 8'3".

    Growing up with Eustass Kid means enduring his aggressive bravado, but also being the only person he genuinely trusts outside of Killer. If he falls for you, his deep-seated protective instincts and fierce, possessive loyalty will take over. His rough exterior will remain, but his treatment of you will shift in very specific ways:Fiercely Protective: He is fiercely protective and will not let anyone disrespect or harm you.Viscerally Clingy: He shows physical affection roughly but is incredibly touchy, always wanting to hold your hand or pull you close.Deeply Possessive: He gets insanely jealous of others. He will make it clear to his crew and rivals that you are his.Unwaveringly Devoted: Despite his chaotic and ruthless nature, he prioritizes your well-being and happiness above his own ambitions. He is loyal to a fault, making your safety the cornerstone of his life on the seas.

    Eustass "Captain" Kid and Killer are childhood best friends who grew up in the slums of an anarchic South Blue island. Their unbreakable bond drives them to sail the seas together, but their contrasting personalities—Kid’s explosive, fiery ambition and Killer’s calm, level-headed, and surprisingly empathetic nature—make them one of the most compelling dynamics in One Piece.To explore their unique bond:The Origin Story: Born in a lawless, unnamed country, they originally led rival street gangs along with their friends Heat and Wire. Enraged, Kid united the rival gangs, overthrew the corrupt rulers, and vowed to set out to sea. Eustass Kid's Personality: Kid is ferocious, hot-headed, and relentlessly ambitious. He mirrors Luffy in his desire to become the Pirate King, but approaches it with a more ruthless, callous edge. Despite his aggressive exterior, he is fiercely loyal to his crew, holds a deep respect for Killer, and despises anyone who mocks his friends.Killer's Personality: Known as the "Massacre Soldier", Killer is level-headed and acts as the brain and emotional anchor to Kid's raw power. While equally capable of intense violence, he is highly logical, often keeping Kid from making impulsive decisions or acting recklessly.

    Kid comes off as a rude, vicious, and bloodthirsty pirate, notorious for causing huge amounts of civilian casualties. Whenever he feels like he is being mocked or insulted, even with just a glance, he is quick to resort to violence.[1] In fact, Kid can be so violent that he considers the choice of not immediately killing someone in his direct vicinity an act of gratitude.[20] He also seems to be cruel even when not provoked, crucifying another defeated pirate crew just because he deemed them too weak to roam around in the New World.[21] Kid is overall highly temperamental and has little patience with anyone getting in his way, although he is capable of restraining his anger in certain situations.[22] Kid can also be very petty, having killed countless civilians for merely mocking or laughing at him for his dream of being the Pirate King, killing several pirates in the New World for being weak, and attempting to kill Shanks' fleet solely to goad the Emperor to fight him.

    Kid is bold, cocky, and fearless, known to run into danger regardless of the consequences.[23] This is particularly the case when dealing with people who previously wronged him, at which point Kid will throw all caution to the wind and go straight for revenge.[24] He does not hesitate to challenge even the Four Emperors, having previously fought Kaidou[11] and Shanks[9] and destroyed two ships belonging to Big Mom.[25] Kid rarely backs down from a battle and may fight a powerful enemy until his last breath. The fact that he did not join the Beasts Pirates despite not standing a chance against Kaidou is a testament to Kid's disposition.[12] Kid seems to believe that possessing the determination to achieve the impossible is necessary to survive in the New World, and that anyone who does not is as good as dead.[21]

    Kid is very prideful of his reputation and aims to reach a top spot in the world of piracy, which he plans to achieve by beating the Four Emperors, even if it means dying for it.[26] That said, Kid has no interest in utilizing weapons of mass destruction (although he is curious about their existence) or other tools that could help him achieve those goals, instead just preferring to confront them head-on with his own power.[27] Because of this, he dislikes joining forces with others and sharing his targets with them, thinking that they will just interfere in what should be his fight alone.[28] He also hates being the subject of false rumors that paint him in a negative light, being quick to clarify them if he overhears someone talking about him.[9] Because of his pride, Kid is notorious for being unreasonably stubborn, unwilling to back down no matter how impossible the task is. Despite this stubbornness, Kid has shown moments of maturity, willing to put his pride aside to work with his fellow Worst Generation members in overthrowing the Emperors of the Sea.

    Kid is shown to be quite cynical about the World Government. He is not blind to the way the World Nobles act, remarking that, compared to them, pirates are almost humane in nature and honest about their faults, unlike the Nobles that justify their abuses of power through ancestry.[22] After Camie had been sold in the Human Auctioning House to Rosward Charlos, Kid declared that the whole affair was a "farce"[29] and similarly held a similar point of view regarding the broadcast of the Summit War of Marineford, calling it a "charade".[30] For this reason, he felt amusement and catharsis when Charlos was punched down by an irate Luffy.[31]

    “ You know... On our journey up to this point, we've been laughed at and ridiculed whenever we mentioned getting our hands on the One Piece. And each time that happened, I slaughtered everyone who laughed. But what lies ahead is a sea of death for those who don't got the guts to mention it. Let's meet again in the New World! ” — Kid[32]

    Kid and Luffy display many similarities in terms of attitude. Kid and Luffy display many similarities in terms of attitude.

    Kid has the same dream as Luffy: to find One Piece and become the new Pirate King. Because of this and Luffy's recklessness, he seems to have a great deal of respect for him even if he sometimes has trouble admitting it. However, while both captains often encounter similar problems and obstacles in their paths, Kid prefers to deal with them in his own bloody manner by apparently slaughtering anyone and everyone who ever dared to laugh at his ambition, making him an antithesis to Luffy, who otherwise does not care about what others think of his dreams.[32][14] Surprisingly, belying his rough attitude, Kid can be childishly competitive and will mock his rivals any chance he gets, especially when Luffy and Law are involved.

    Another similarity Kid has to Luffy is a strong degree of affection for his crewmates. Kid will recklessly defend or rescue his subordinates if they are mocked or in danger. His concern for his longtime friend and right-hand man Killer having eaten a SMILE was enough that Kid did not care whatsoever about being captured a second time just a few days after managing to escape his captors.[33] Kid is also rather gluttonous, not minding hard labor as long as he gets access to large amounts of food.[34]

    Unlike Luffy, however, Kid is rather unfriendly and mistrusting of others, rarely leaving his guard down and warning his subordinates to follow suit. The failure of his alliance with the On Air Pirates and Hawkins Pirates, which happened due to the betrayal of Scratchmen Apoo, seems to have reinforced this mindset, as he initially turned down an offer from Luffy to team up with the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance.[20] Kid would eventually change his mind but still acted as a reluctant ally for the most part, only joining forces with Luffy for the sake of their rivalry. However, Kid shows no concern towards his allies or their deaths so long as he gets what he wants. This turns out to be a flaw of Kid, as during his rematch against Shanks and his fleet, Kid approached his fleet without any allies around to help him, and it cost him and his crew their ship and their Road Ponyglyph rubbings because of his pride.

Known for his extreme short temper and violent cruelty, he notably contrasts with Luffy by relentlessly attacking anyone who dares mock his dream of becoming the Pirate King.His personality is defined by several distinct traits:Ruthless & Unforgiving: Kid is notoriously violent and intolerant of weakness. In the ruthless New World, he is known for crucifying other pirate crews just because they were too weak to survive there.Fierce Pride & Ambition: He has an ironclad will and refuses to back down or submit to anyone. He shares a common goal with Luffy of reaching the top, but where Luffy smiles at insults, Kid responds with explosive rage.Deep Loyalty to Crew: Despite his villainous tendencies toward rivals and civilians, he is deeply protective of his first mate, Killer, and the rest of his crew.

Deep LoyaltyKiller has a long-standing, steadfast bond with Eustass Kid, having known him since childhood. He treats his crew like family and acts as a "big brother" to keep everyone in check.3. The SMILE TragedyThough calm and collected by nature, his demeanor was fundamentally altered by a forced SMILE Devil Fruit.As the assassin "Kamazo," his face became locked in a perpetual grin, robbing him of his ability to express sadness or anger.He was driven to intense rage by his inability to hide his affliction or the mockery it provoked.4. A Mask of MysteryKiller wears a full-head mask and refuses to take it off in front of others—he even eats through it. This eccentricity, paired with his violent reputation and lack of a Devil Fruit, gives him a brooding edge akin to his fellow swordsman, Roronoa Zoro.

    Heat, a prominent member of the Kid Pirates in One Piece, is fiercely loyal to his captain, Eustass Kid. He is characterized by a hardened, no-nonsense attitude, but ultimately exhibits intense desperation and panic when his crew faces total defeat.His personality and traits break down into a few distinct areas:Fierce Loyalty: Heat holds deep respect for Eustass Kid, going so far as to call him "Master Kid" in a show of utmost dedication.Contempt for Weakness: He detests crying, pleading, or showing vulnerability. During the Raid on Onigashima, he mocked Sanji for crying out for help.Hypocrisy in Defeat: Despite his tough exterior, Heat revealed a hypocritical side when he desperately begged Red-Haired Shanks to spare his captain and crew following their devastating loss.Intimidating Abilities: He is known for his unique ability to breathe fire directly from his mouth, although the exact biological or mechanical origin of this power remains a mystery.Strong Will: Like many of the Supernova crewmates, he possesses a strong enough will to withstand basic conqueror's haki

He eventually allied with Eustass Kid, Killer, and Heat to seek revenge for the death of Kid's childhood best friend, leading to the formation of the Kid Pirates.

    Killer, the right-hand man of the Kid Pirates, possesses a complex personality. Originally a pragmatic, calm, and level-headed voice of reason who balanced out his captain’s temper, his psyche was altered after being force-fed a SMILE fruit, leaving him with an uncontrollable, tragic compulsion to laugh and smile, no matter the situation.Key Personality TraitsThe Voice of Reason: In contrast to his highly temperamental and reckless captain, Eustass Kid, Killer was traditionally the crew's strategist and diplomat. He often handled alliances and historical research, keeping the crew grounded.Deep Loyalty: He shares an unbreakable, lifelong bond with Kid. His loyalty is so fierce that he willingly subjected himself to torture, became the Shogun's assassin (known as "Kamazo"), and ate the SMILE fruit just to protect Kid’s life.Ruthless Combatant: True to his moniker, the "Massacre Soldier", Killer harbors an extremely violent and homicidal edge. He has no qualms about eliminating anyone standing in his captain's way, channeling a cold, focused demeanor during fights.Tragic Irony (The SMILE Effect): Forced to eat a defective SMILE fruit, Killer was robbed of his ability to show a wide range of emotions. Internally, he retains his sharp, calculating, and loyal self, but outwardly, he is bound by a permanent, forced grin, often crying while being forced to laugh uncontrollably.Surprising Hobbies: Beneath his intimidating helmet, Killer actually enjoys surprisingly domestic and chill hobbies, such as cooking and playing the drums.

    Kid can be really a bit over the top but he has a fascination with you and making sure no one touches or harms you. He might be a slight brute but he's just confused on his obsession for you. He'll figure it out eventually. He will also pretend to be tough when he first holds you but will start making sure everyone knows you are his.

    Eustass Kid would be fiercely loyal, fiercely protective, and highly unromantic in the traditional sense. His dynamic with a partner would be rough-around-the-edges—full of teasing, cocky smirks, and shared ambitions—rather than soft or overtly mushy.A more detailed look into how he would treat his wife includes:Tough-Love and Mutual Respect: Kid wouldn't treat his wife like a damsel in distress. Because he values strength and determination, he’d expect her to hold her own and wouldn't baby her.Public Aloofness, Private Intimacy: He is not the type for grand, public displays of affection. He’d keep the mushy stuff behind closed doors, opting instead for casual roughhousing, light teasing, and an occasional smirk or casual physical touch in front of his crew.Extreme Protectiveness: Despite his aggressive demeanor, anyone who messed with his wife would face his full wrath. He’d be deeply fiercely loyal and would annihilate anyone who dared to threaten his family.Shared Ambition: He would treat his wife as a true equal in the pirate life. Rather than leaving her behind, he’d want her right by his side, celebrating his victories and working toward the top together.

These passions perfectly align with his Magnet-Magnet Fruit powers and his aggressive, rebellious personality.Hobbies & InterestsCollecting Weapons: Kid is an avid weapon collector. This hobby ties directly into his Devil Fruit, as he constantly scavenges scrap metal, swords, and firearms from battlefields to build his massive mechanical arms, golems, and railguns.DJing: Officially designated by series creator Eiichiro Oda in the One Piece SBS Q&As, Kid enjoys spinning tracks and acting as a DJ, fitting his punk-rock aesthetic and vibrant crew name, the "Victoria Punk".Personality & TriviaBulls: Oda noted that Kid's animal motif is the bull. This reflects his hot-tempered nature, his charging "Punk Corna Dio" attack, and his tendency to charge headfirst into conflict.Least Favorite Food: Kid strongly dislikes Curry Udon, a hatred stemming from his childhood in the South Blue slums. He and his right-hand man, Killer, laughed at a childhood friend for spilling the dish on her shirt, which resulted in a brutal beating.Favorite Foods: He enjoys cabbage and shrimp in garlic oil.

    Heat: The Hot-Headed & Flamboyant ProtectorPersonality: Heat is known for his signature Glasgow smile, shaggy blue hair, and fiery temperament. He is incredibly vocal and fiercely loyal to his boss, Eustass Kid.Reaction to Liking Someone: Heat would be intense, forward, and loud. If someone threatened his crush, he wouldn't hesitate to literally breathe fire to incinerate the threat. He would use his abilities to shield them from the elements, much like he has been known to exhale warm fire to help allies ward off extreme cold.The Catch: He might mask his softer feelings with bravado, teasing the object of his affection while fiercely picking fights with anyone who looks at them the wrong way.⚡

    Wire: The Taciturn & Stoic GuardianPersonality: Wire is a tall, stoic trident-wielding gang boss turned pirate. He rarely shows emotion, keeping a deadpan, droopy-eyed expression at all times.Reaction to Liking Someone: While he wouldn't make a grand, loud declaration, Wire would show his affection through quiet, unyielding support. If things get dangerous, you can expect him to place his hulking body directly in the line of fire to protect them. He would also be the one to offer his thick cloak to shield them from the cold or harsh winds.The Catch: His stoic demeanor might make him appear unbothered, but he is fiercely observant and quietly observant of his crush's well-being.

    In One Piece, Heat and Wire (Eustass Kid’s loyal crewmates) react to a new person with extreme caution and fierce protectiveness. Because they were once rival gang leaders in the South Blue, they operate under a strict code of trust and view any newcomer as a potential threat to "the boss" (Kid).How They Would React to a New PersonWire (The Silent Enforcer): Wire is taciturn and serious. He would likely stand in the background with his trademark mopish face and arms crossed, sizing the new person up. He relies heavily on intimidation and his spiked gear to keep strangers at a distance.Heat (The Fiery Vanguard): Heat is far more aggressive and vocal. If a stranger approaches, Heat will immediately step in front of Kid and likely breathe a blast of fire (or draw his swords) as a definitive warning.What Happens if the Newcomer is...An Enemy or Spy: They would launch a swift, coordinated, and brutal counterattack. While Kid handles the heavy lifting, Wire would use his trident to trap and slice them, while Heat provides ranged support with his fire breath.A Potential Crewmate: They would remain highly skeptical. The crew was heavily betrayed by Scratchmen Apoo and Basil Hawkins, so trust is a major issue for them. The stranger would have to prove absolute loyalty—or be forced into submission—before Heat and Wire let their guard down.

    The Kid PiratesAlong with their captain, Heat and Wire form the core of the Kid Pirates, a fearsome crew that originated from a lawless island in the South Blue.Heat: Known for his shaggy light-blue hair, Glasgow-style smile, and ability to breathe fire.Wire: Easily recognized by his long, spiky purple hair and large trident weapon.Other Hobbies in the Worst GenerationWhile Heat and Wire's specific hobbies haven't been officially detailed in author Q&As like the others, Eiichiro Oda revealed the bizarre hobbies of the rest of the Worst Generation in SBS Volume 82:Eustass Kid: Listening to music (likely punk) and collecting weapons.Killer: Playing the drums and cooking.

    The Kid Pirates are defined by a punk-rock aesthetic, immense hotheadedness, and fierce inner loyalty, contrasting sharply with the more idealistic Straw Hat Pirates. Unlike many rival crews in One Piece, they are childhood friends from the South Blue who function as a tight-knit family wrapped in a terrifying, metal-and-leather exterior.Individual PersonalitiesEustass "Captain" Kid: He is a fiercely arrogant, hot-tempered, and violent leader who refuses to back down from any challenge. He possesses an incredibly fragile ego regarding his dream to become Pirate King, yet possesses deep, protective love for his crew.Killer: Serving as the crew’s vice-captain and voice of reason, Killer is typically level-headed, analytical, and highly observant. He masks his face behind a full-slotted helmet and wields spinning scythe weapons called "Punishers."Heat: A frontline combatant with a zombie-like punk appearance who can breathe fire. He is fiercely intense and entirely dedicated to upholding Kid's fearsome reputation.Wire: A tall, dark-clad member resembling a gargoyle who wields a trident. He is quiet, observant, and acts as steady physical support during chaotic battle situations.Crew DynamicsThe Kid Pirates behave less like coworkers and more like an aggressive, defensive family. Their core dynamics include:The Brains and the Brawn: Killer acts as the buffer between Kid's explosive temper and the outside world. He translates Kid's angry outbursts into actual strategic plans, and Kid genuinely listens to him above all others.Unrivaled Devotion: While other crews break under pressure, the Kid Pirates would gladly die for their captain. When Killer was forced to eat a failed SMILE fruit to save Kid, the entire crew openly wept and adapted to accommodate him.Aggressive External Cruelty vs. Internal Warmth: To outsiders and enemies, they are murderous monsters who leave civilian casualties in their wake. Internally, they share a deep bond rooted in growing up together as orphans in a lawless land.Running GagsRunning GagDescriptionContext / ExampleChildish Rivalry with Luffy & LawKid cannot handle being outshone, leading to stubborn, petty competitions even mid-battle.Refusing to dodge a massive attack from Big Mom simply because Luffy and Law also refused to step out of the way.Killer's Laughing ConditionAfter being forced to eat a SMILE fruit, Killer can only express emotion through a frantic laugh ("Fa-fa-fa").Instead of being dynamic or tragic forever, the crew completely normalized it and laugh right along with him to make him feel comfortable.The "Fa-Fa" Sensitive SpotBefore his SMILE transformation, Killer deeply hated his natural laugh, and would violently beat anyone who mocked it.The crew used to aggressively hunt down anyone who made fun of Killer's laugh.Overestimating Their PowerKid has an unbreakable habit of immediately picking fights with literal Emperors of the Sea with zero preparation.Losing an arm to the Red Hair Pirates, being crushed by Kaido, and immediately challenging Shanks again at Elbaf.

    The Kid Pirates from One Piece are led by the ruthless Eustass Kid and his right-hand man, Killer. Their dynamic is built on deep childhood loyalty, gritty mutual survival, and a punk-rock rejection of the world's false moralities. Unlike more comedic or idealistic crews, they operate like a tight-knit, aggressive street gang turned rogue supernovas.Captain and Vice-Captain DynamicEustass Kid: Fierce, proud, violent, and unyielding. He possesses Conqueror's Haki and a massive ego, yet he understands the harsh realities of the New World.Killer ("The Massacre Soldier"): Level-headed and pragmatic. He acts as the voice of reason and keeps Kid from making overly emotional or reckless blunders.The Bond: Their trust goes back to their childhood in the South Blue. Killer is the only one who can casually check Kid's temper, and Kid respects Killer above all others.Core Crew PersonalitiesHeat and Wire: Prominent combatants who display fierce loyalty and vocal concern for Kid during intense battles. Heat has a fiery temper (and literal fire-breathing abilities), while Wire uses a large spear and matches the crew's aggressive posture.The Underlings: Subordinates are named after musical themes (like punk and heavy metal). Though most of the 31-man crew remain background fighters, they share a unified, gritty, and haughty attitude.Crew Dynamics and LoyaltyFoundational Trust: After suffering devastating betrayals by Scratchmen Apoo and Basil Hawkins, Kid's inner circle becomes fiercely insular, relying strictly on themselves.Shared Defiance: The crew treats victories and near-death experiences as a collective struggle. They do not follow Kid out of blind awe, but out of shared, hardened resolve against hostile Emperors and the World Government.To better understand their actions in later arcs, here is a quick look at their command structure:MemberRole / PositionCore TraitEustass KidCaptainMagnetic powers, unyielding ambitionKillerCombatant / Vice-CaptainAnalytical, calm counterweightHeatOfficerHot-headed, fire manipulationWireOfficerAggressive spear fighter

This stems from a childhood trauma where a girl they both liked spilled curry udon, and they were severely beaten up by her after they laughed at her.Hobbies: Listening to music and collecting weapons.KillerFavorite Food: Spaghetti aglio, olio e peperoncino (spaghetti with garlic, oil, and chili flakes). He explicitly prefers foods like long noodles that can easily thread through the vertical slits of his signature helmet.Least Favorite Food: Curry udon, for the exact same childhood reason as Kid.Hobbies: Cooking and playing the drums.

    This breakdown explores how Eustass "Captain" Kid and Killer from One Piece get flustered and the psychological reasons behind their reactions.Eustass Kid: The Defensive VolcanoKid gets flustered through explosive anger, aggressive denial, and physical blushing that he tries to mask with threats.How he reacts: He yells, bares his teeth, draws his weapon, or violently changes the subject.Why it happens: Kid's identity is built on absolute dominance, pride, and an untamed ego.The triggers: Genuine praise, unexpected affection, or someone pointing out a hidden soft spot makes him feel vulnerable.The psychology: He views vulnerability as a weakness, so his brain instantly converts embarrassment into defensive rage to regain control.Killer: The Composed ShieldKiller gets flustered through sudden silence, nervous physical tics, and awkward, formal deflections.How he reacts: He pulls his helmet down, shifts his weight, crosses his arms tightly, or speaks in an overly robotic, polite tone.Why it happens: Killer is the rational, emotionally intelligent anchor of the Kid Pirates.The triggers: Being teased about his unique laugh (Faffaffasa), receiving direct personal compliments, or witnessing Kid do something incredibly stupid in public.The psychology: He is deeply self-conscious about his laugh due to past trauma, and he prefers to operate strictly as the cool-headed, dependable partner.How They Fluster Each OtherThe dynamic between the two lifelong friends creates unique moments of mutual embarrassment.Kid's trigger: Killer quietly calling him out on his emotional overreactions or acts of hidden kindness.Killer's trigger: Kid loudly defending Killer's laugh or honor to outsiders, which touches Killer but embarrasses him due to the unwanted attention.

    Eustass Kid: The Defensive TsundereHow he gets flustered: Kid completely shuts down, gets angry, and tries to deflect with aggression. He will aggressively blush, yell, and stomp away rather than face romantic feelings.Why it happens: Kid is driven by pride, dominance, and ego. Romance requires vulnerability, which makes him feel exposed and out of control. Because he cannot "fight" or intimidate a romantic feeling, the lack of control panics him, turning his confusion into hot-headed anger.Killer: The Polite OverthinkerHow he gets flustered: Killer becomes intensely quiet, stiffens up, and overanalyzes the situation. Unlike Kid, he remains polite but will actively hide his face behind his mask to conceal his blushing.Why it happens: Killer is the rational, observant "mother hen" of the Kid Pirates. He is used to managing chaos, not participating in emotional intimacy. Romance introduces social variables he cannot calculate, making him deeply self-conscious—especially regarding his laugh and his face, which he has hidden for years.The Canonical "First Crush" BackstoryOda revealed a specific childhood backstory that perfectly illustrates their dynamic with romance:The Shared Crush: As kids in the South Blue, both Kid and Killer had a crush on a girl named Victoria Shirahiko.The Incident: One day, while they were eating together, Victoria spilled curry sauce all over herself.The Reaction: Kid and Killer burst out laughing at her mess.The Consequence: Victoria was deeply offended and severely beat both of them up.The Trauma: This shared experience linking romance, rejection, and physical violence turned "romance" into a stressful, confusing concept for both of them, cementing Victoria as a bittersweet memory (they even named their ship the Victoria Punk).

    Here is a breakdown of how Eustass Kid and Killer from One Piece handle romance, drawing from their distinct personalities.Eustass KidWhy and How He Gets FlusteredLoss of Control: Kid relies on dominance and power. Romance forces him into an unfamiliar, vulnerable position where he cannot use force to win, causing immediate frustration.Embarrassment as Anger: He masks his confusion with defensive rage. His face flushes red, his veins pop, and he will yell to cover up his racing heartbeat.Pride Damage: He hates looking weak or soft. If someone teases him about his feelings, he will fiercely deny them and stomp away.How He Acts When InterestedPossessive Teasing: Kid shows affection through rough, competitive banter. He will challenge the person to petty competitions just to keep their attention.Aggressive Protection: He becomes hyper-protective. Anyone who disrespects or threatens his interest will face his immediate, terrifying wrath.Awkward Gift-Giving: He will give valuable or strange items (like shiny metal scraps or stolen loot) and demand the person take it without giving an explanation.KillerWhy and How He Gets FlusteredThe Laughing Insecurity: Killer is deeply insecure about his laugh (Faffafa) and keeps his helmet on. Romance requires exposing his true self, which terrifies him.Quiet Overwhelm: Unlike Kid, Killer internalizes his panic. He will freeze up, stutter slightly beneath his mask, or abruptly turn his head away to hide his burning face.Loss of Composure: As the calm tactician of the crew, losing his logical edge around someone makes him incredibly flustered and clumsy with his words.How He Acts When InterestedAttentive Caretaking: Killer expresses love through acts of service. He will quietly cook their favorite meals, brew them tea, or fix their broken belongings.Silent Companionship: He will constantly position himself near the person, acting as a calm, steady shield in dangerous situations.Vulnerability in Private: If he trusts the person completely, he may eventually lift his mask just enough to share a meal or a genuine laugh with them away from the crew's eyes.

    In canon, Heat and Wire are fierce, rough combatants from the Kid Pirates with minimal official romance lore. Based on their tough gang-leader pasts and fierce loyalty, fan interpretation imagines how these hardened fighters handle soft emotions.Why and How They Get FlusteredUnfamiliar Territory: They live in a brutal New World pirate environment where vulnerability equals weakness. Genuine softness or sweet compliments catch them completely off guard.Physical Tells: Heat might accidentally spark a small flame or choke on his own fire-breathing trick when stammering. Wire tends to pull his horned hood lower or freeze completely, losing his usual stoic composure.Overcompensation: If teased or praised, they mask their flustered state by suddenly shifting back to a gruff, loud, or overly defensive attitude before walking away to cool off.How They Act If Interested in SomeoneAction Over Words: Neither of them is poetic. Instead of sweet talk, they show interest through heavy-duty protection and practical gifts (like bringing rare loot, weapons, or food).Hovering from a Distance: They watch their crush’s back during brawls, ready to obliterate anyone who glances the wrong way, yet they act awkward or clumsy if forced to make small talk one-on-one.Stubborn Loyalty: They express affection through fierce devotion, matching the intense loyalty the Kid Pirates show their captain—treating their person of interest as an absolute priority.

    Heat and Wire are elite officers of the Eustass Kid Pirates. Originating as rival South Blue gang bosses before uniting under Kid, Heat functions as a fire-breathing brawler with stitched-up cheeks, while Wire is a taciturn, horn-hooded brute wielding a trident. Their dynamic is built on absolute, unyielding subordination to their captain.Personalities and DynamicsEx-Gang Rivalry Turned Loyalty: Born in an un-governed South Blue island split into four violent districts, Heat and Wire originally led opposing local delinquent groups. After a tragic local execution, Kid forced an alliance, binding the former rivals into fierce, lifelong loyalty.The "Yes-Men" Enforcers: Unlike Killer—who acts as a rational counterweight and childhood confidant to Kid—Heat and Wire exist as intense, hyper-reactive hype men who treat Kid with fanatical reverence.Contrasting Demeanors: Heat is animated, loud, and expressive, whereas Wire is typically silent, stoic, and droopy-eyed—yet both share matching aesthetic motifs like looped golden belts and barbed wire/netting designs.Running GagsHypocritical Toughness: Heat openly criticizes others for showing weakness—infamously calling Sanji pathetic for crying out during the Onigashima raid. However, when the crew faces total annihilation against Red-Haired Shanks, Heat immediately shatters his own tough-guy persona to tearfully beg for mercy.Shocked Exclamations: Whenever Kid takes unexpected damage (like a Pacifista shot to the leg), both Heat and Wire drop their intimidating composure to shriek "Master Kid!" in comedic, wide-eyed terror.The Silent/Loud Contrast: Gag moments often juxtapose Heat’s frantic, hyperventilating panic with Wire’s permanent, unchanging blank stare, even when reacting to the exact same catastrophic event.

As such, they are part of the Worst Generation. Like the Straw Hats, this crew had two bounties above Beli100,000,000. Both members had slightly higher bounties than the respective members of the Straw Hat Pirates before the timeskip. Their captain is Eustass Kid.

    Following the events on Wano, the crew attempted to attack the Red Hair Pirates on Elbaph. However, in the ensuing battle, their captain was defeated by Shanks, and their ship was decimated at sea with the remaining members on it.[2] The current fate of the crew is unknown.

    Like the Whitebeard and Big Mom Pirates, the Kid Pirates possess a secondary, simpler symbol, as seen on Wire's outfit. The Jolly Roger features a smiley with a Glasgow smile. The smiley is surrounded by nine, evenly spaced spikes around the circumference. It may also be a reference to Heat, similar to Killer wearing his own personal Jolly Roger.

    Crew Members See also the associated category: Kid Pirates. The Kid Pirates consist of 31 members in total, with the identities of 22 being known.[3] The most significant aspect of their appearance is that most, if not all of the Kid Pirates have heavy metalesque appearances. Also, many of them seem to wear leather in one way or another. At the auction house, they stated that they might purchase someone who caught their eye. However, it appears that nobody interested them as they never ended up bidding on anyone.[4]

    The Kid Pirates had one known island under their control, which served as their base of operations. At the base of the largest mountain was a castle where Kid, Hawkins, and Apoo formed their alliance. It is unknown what became of the island after the Kid Pirates' defeat.

    Crew Strength The Kid Pirates show their might by decimating a rival crew. The Kid Pirates show their might by decimating a rival crew.

    They are most known for dealing major destruction and civilian casualties along their route through the Grand Line and towards the New World. Furthermore, the entire crew managed to withstand the blast of Haki released by Silvers Rayleigh,[5] a testament to their overall strength. In spite of their great potency in battle and overall level-mindedness, the members of this crew display an innate sense of haughtiness. They, like the other super rookie crews, were able to escape from Kizaru's raid despite being weakened by a Pacifista.

    After the timeskip, it is apparent that their strength and influence have increased, as evidenced by Kid and Killer's bounties being raised and the fact that they were able to establish a base on an island. They had apparently grown in size, as before they were captured by Kaidou, they had a few other ships.[6] The Kid Pirates attempted to form an alliance with the Hawkins and On Air Pirates, however Scratchmen Apoo was actually a member of the Beasts Pirates prior to this alliance, and swiftly sold out Kid and Hawkins to Kaidou, who easily defeated the former and coerced the latter to join him. Due to this betrayal, Kid ceased trying to ally himself with any other crews ever again. However, he did become allies (somewhat reluctantly) with the Straw Hats and Heart Pirates after reuniting with his crew.

    By the time of the war on Onigashima, both Kid and Killer grew in strength to the point their Captain defeated Big Mom with Law's assistance, while getting a massive bounty increase for his efforts. Their reputation were so great that Demalo Black and his crew tried to impersonate them.[7]

    Ship Further information: Victoria Punk Victoria Punk. Victoria Punk.

    The Kid Pirates' flagship is called the Victoria Punk (ヴィクトリアパンク号, Vikutoria Panku-gō?).[8] Their ship continues the theme of heavy metal, with a bizarre skull as part of the deck, resembling some heavy metal bands' stages. Their ship was coated with the Yarukiman resin, allowing it to submerge underwater by reducing its buoyancy, and withstanding the water pressure of 10,000 feet.[9]

    The ship was destroyed by Dorry and Brogy's Hakoku.[2]

    The Kid Pirates had at least one additional ship that was capsized when Kaidou crash landed in the middle of their base after jumping from a sky island.[6]

    Advertisement History Past Kid, Killer, Heat and Wire were gang bosses ruling over an island in the South Blue unaffiliated with the World Government. When Kid and Killer's first crush, Victoria Shiruton Doruyanaika, was murdered by a rival gang Kid unified the four groups to take them down. He then decided to form a pirate crew, as he refused to live in such a narrow world. Their ship was named Victoria Punk, after Victoria.[10] The Kid Pirates were noted to have been responsible for a great deal of damage and had caused many civilian casualties along their journey.[1]

    Summit War Saga Sabaody Archipelago Arc Eventually they reached the Sabaody Archipelago, where they docked and prepared to enter the New World. Subsequently they visited the Human Auction House, where their captain voiced an interest in purchasing a slave, although in the end, they ended up purchasing no one.[4] After Luffy hit Saint Charlos, and the Straw Hats moved into action, they remained at the auction house and witnessed the ensuing chaos. However when Rayleigh appeared, they were subjected to his Haki just like everyone else in the auction room, though every present Kid Pirate easily withstood Rayleigh's Haki.[11] Afterwards, realizing that the Marines were the greatest threat at that time, Kid and the other two captains fought the Marines.[12] Eventually Killer and Heat joined the fray as well, and they soon cut a path through their enemies and managed to escape the Marines.[13] Shortly afterwards they were confronted by a Pacifista which they mistook for Bartholomew Kuma.[14] While struggling to fight it, they once again allied with the Heart Pirates to fight off the Pacifista. The battle was concluded offscreen, but every member survived the fight without any major injury.[15]

    Marineford Arc The Kid Pirates having escaped the Marines were able to stay on the Archipelago a bit longer and were able to watch the Summit War of Marineford, where they witnessed, at a distance, the death of Whitebeard and how Luffy partook the war. They eventually moved onto the New World, where they brutally crucified Haritsu Kendiyo and his crew.[16][17][18]

    During the Timeskip During the timeskip, the Kid Pirates continued to rise in infamy, as evidenced by Kid and Killer's bounties increasing.[19][20]

    Kid also lost his left arm in a battle with the Red Hair Pirates first mate Benn Beckman.[21][22] He later replaced this arm with a large metal one.

    At some point after this, the Kid Pirates went to Big Mom's territory and injured Charlotte Snack, one of Big Mom's Sweet Commanders, as well as plundering a copy of her Road Poneglyph.[23][21][24] However, they were quickly forced to flee afterwards.[25]

    In addition, the crew became powerful enough to establish their own base on an island. They also appear well connected, as they are well aware of dealings within the Underworld.

    A few days before the Straw Hats arrived at Fish-Man Island, Kid sank two ships of Big Mom's Fleet, causing enough damage that the Big Mom Pirates needed a large sum of cash as quickly as possible to recover.[26]

    Advertisement Dressrosa Saga Punk Hazard Arc The Kid Pirates met with the Hawkins and On Air Pirates in their own hideout, though the alliance nearly broke apart due to Kid and Apoo getting into a fight because of a lingering grudge. However, Killer managed to calm things down and remind the various parties of their alliance. The captains agree to the alliance, and the three crews start plans to take down an Emperor.[27]

    Dressrosa Arc After reading the news about Doflamingo's defeat, Kid and Killer dined with Hawkins and Apoo. They learned that Luffy and Law's target is Kaidou and were glad as their intended target is Shanks. Some time later, they were alerted by what seemed to be an earthquake.[28] They quickly investigated the source of the commotion, which was a large crater on the ground in the shape of a human. The alliance then came face-to-face with the Emperor Kaidou.[29]

    Whole Cake Island Saga Zou Arc After the encounter with Kaidou, the crew was separated.[30] Kid was defeated and placed in a cell by Kaidou in Onigashima.[31]

    Wano Country Saga

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

    One Piece: Stampede The Kid Pirates were present during the Pirates Festival. Along with other competing pirate crews, they rode a Knock Up Stream in order to try and get the Pirate King's treasure, that being an eternal pose to Laugh Tale. When Douglas Bullet made his appearance, their captain joined the other Supernovas in battle against him but was soundly defeated. They later successfully escaped from the Marines thanks to the Revolutionary Army.[32]

    Concludes non-canon section.

    Advertisement Wano Country Arc Kid was later imprisoned in the Udon region of Wano Country where he met Luffy again when he was placed in a cell next to his. Killer was forced to eat a failed SMILE and later became known as the assassin "Kamazo". According to a Wano newspaper, he was responsible for a street murder on the eighth street in District 2 of the Flower Capital.[33]

    After the chaos at the palace, Kamazo was hired by Kurozumi Orochi to kill the kamuro Toko. He then pursued Toko and Kouzuki Hiyori to the Ringo region, where he came across a confrontation between Roronoa Zoro and Gyukimaru. Zoro then clashed with Killer in order to protect Toko and Hiyori. When Zoro was distracted by Gyukimaru, Killer manages to land a grievous hit on him. However, Zoro was able to take one of his scythes as a result and strike him.[34] After that blow, Killer fell to the ground defeated.[35]

    Later on, for failing to kill Toko, he was sent to the Prisoner Mine at Udon alongside Kid, who previously escaped and got recaptured. Kid questioned him on what Kaidou had done to him and the fate of their crew, but Kamazo could not answer through his laughter and tears. Both were then sentenced by Queen to undergo water torture.[36] However, they were freed when Big Mom went on a rampage. Kid and Killer left Udon and planned to find their other crewmates.[37]

    Before the Fire Festival, Kid managed to find and retrieve his crew. They later joined the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance in their raid on Onigashima.[38] Though they disguised themselves thanks to Kin'emon's ability after arriving at the island, Kid soon got into a brief scuffle with Apoo, exposing himself and Killer. In the ensuing chaos, Kid and Killer got separated from the rest of their crew while fighting several Gifters in Kaidou's castle.[39]

    As the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance began their all-out war on the Beasts Pirates, Kid and Killer were aided by some of the rebels.[40] In preparation for the fight with Kaidou, Kid began using his magnetic powers to collect all the loose metallic objects on his way to the roof. As Kid and Killer reached the third level of the castle, the pile of metal had grown to fill the whole corridor.[41]

    The two later reached the roof, where they were soon joined by Law, Zoro, and Luffy as they prepared to fight against Kaidou and Big Mom.[42] Kid was briefly surprised when he saw Luffy hurt Kaidou. After Law sent the Red Scabbards and Izou to safety, Kid scoffed at the Surgeon of Death for being subservient to Luffy (since Law only acted after Luffy had asked) though Law insisted that he planned to help them either way. When Luffy challenged Kid and Law to a game of chicken in the face of Big Mom's attack, the two initially refused. However, following a small taunt from the Straw Hat captain, the two took up his challenge, with all of them ending up taking the full brunt of the attack. They quickly recovered, and the five members of the Worst Generation took a strike at Kaidou. However, Kaidou transformed into his dragon form and joined Big Mom in the sky, preparing to battle.[43]

    Kaidou used a roar to unleash wind blades at his opponents. Kid's metal golem armor was struck but Kid remained unharmed. With his metal armor, Kid grabbed Kaidou and slammed him into the roof. Later, Big Mom unleashed a lightning storm at the five Supernovas. Kid managed to block some of her thunderbolts but was caught off guard by a lightning homie.[44] After Luffy had pummeled Kaidou with Gomu Gomu no Kong Gatling, Kid and Killer tried to continue on the offensive, but Kaidou stopped them by creating some twisters. Zoro managed to slice through Kaidou's scales, but Kaidou responded by launching wind blades at the five Supernovas.[45]

    Kid and Law work together to remove Big Mom from the battlefield. Kid and Law work together to remove Big Mom from the battlefield.

    Kid and the other Supernovas eventually agreed that they had to split up Big Mom and Kaidou somehow, otherwise they had no chance of winning.[46] After surviving a combined attack from both Emperors thanks to Zoro's effort, Kid and Law elaborated a plan to separate Big Mom's special homies from her person. Kid used his powers to form a metal box so Law could teleport Zeus inside, while Zoro and Killer dealt with Prometheus and Napoleon respectively. Once Big Mom was fully disarmed, Kid shot metal spears at Big Mom, but was punched down into the ground by the Emperor in return. He, however, took the opportunity to grip Big Mom's arm with his own prosthetic arm, allowing him to Repel her up in the sky, from where Law managed to hit her with a boulder, throwing her off Onigashima.[47]

    Once Prometheus and Napoleon left Onigashima to rescue Big Mom, Kid and Killer followed them to the edge of the island. There, Kid noticed something strange happening to the clouds in the sky.[48] It turned out to be Big Mom creating a new homie, Hera, whose power she tested out on Kid and Killer as she headed back to Onigashima on Prometheus. Kid and Killer tried to avoid the way of Big Mom's Fulgora attack but were hit and sent flying back inside the Skull Dome, on the third floor of Kaidou's Castle. Kid and Killer survived with few injuries and noticed that Big Mom was searching for them somewhere in the floor below. Kid ran off after her, but was stopped by Hawkins, his former ally and whom Kid considered a traitor. Killer told Kid to keep going while he stayed behind to keep Hawkins busy, which Kid complied.

    Once Kid reached the second floor, he noticed some of Kaidou's grunts alerting each other about Big Mom's location and headed towards the ruckus.[49] Kid eventually found Big Mom as she was about to strike down Nami, Usopp and Tama, using his Punk Gibson technique to block Big Mom's sword and then slam her down to the floor. Kid told the Straw Hats to leave Big Mom to him, as the latter recovered herself from the attack.

    Shortly afterwards, Law made his way to the site of Kid's fight with Big Mom and proposed a temporary alliance with Kid to hold the Emperor back together.[50] During the fight, Kid struggled to stay on his feet due to mysterious injuries that kept springing up on his body. Unknown to Kid, these injuries were from Killer's attacks on Hawkins, who had linked himself with Kid.[51] They were then surprised by the sudden interruption of Luffy riding a huge pink dragon on his way back to the rooftop.[52] Later, Kid reacted to Luffy's broadcasted declaration to defeat Kaidou.[53] As the fight continued, Kid's pain reappeared, so Big Mom used Hera on Napoleon and was about to attack him, but Law defended Kid. However, the flames of Prometheus hit Law, who fell to the ground. Big Mom attacked the two pirates, injuring them further. Kid was perplexed by what was happening to him and disappointed that he might die pointlessly after finally reaching an Emperor. Once Killer severed Hawkins' link with Kid and defeated the Shinuchi, Kid quickly recovered and continued fighting Big Mom.[54]

    Not finding any progress in causing major damage to Big Mom, Kid convinced Law to try utilizing their awakenings in order to change the tide of the fight. Kid was caught by a lightning blast from Big Mom that sent him back to the Live Floor in a freefall, with the Emperor following after Kid in order to finish him off in midair. Law, however, took the opportunity to activate his awakening and strike Big Mom from behind with Shock Wille, significantly injuring and distracting her long enough for Kid to initiate his own awakening and use Punk Clash to bury the Emperor underneath a multitude of steel beams ripped out from the framework of Kaidou's Castle.[55] This was, however, not sufficient to finish Big Mom off. Now truly angered, the Emperor stole the souls of several of Kaidou's minions in the Live Floor to power up her own special Homies and create new ones from the steel beams that previously crushed her. Having acknowledged Kid and Law's power, Big Mom sacrificed one year from her own lifespan in order to grow in size and power, all while daring the Worst Generation pirates to try and take her down. Not intimidated by Big Mom's new form, Kid declared that he would take the Emperor down no matter the cost.[56]

    Soon thereafter, Big Mom once again regained the upper hand, beating them up while mocking them about their crew's pleas to spare their lives. After Big Mom had punished their crews for pleading to her, she started to make her move towards the roof, viewing their fight as over. This would, however, give Law an advantage, as he was not defeated yet and exploited her ascension towards the roof, coating Kikoku with K-Room and stabbing her from right arm up to her face. He then unleashed Shock Wille onto her again, noticing she could not have been unharmed by this attack before. Right before he was about to be attacked by her newly created steel homies, they were attached towards Kid, who also rose up. After assimilating both the homies and surrounding metal, he confidently told Big Mom that nothing was impervious to damage before charging at Big Mom with Punk Corna Dio, ramming her into a wall. Both then once again assured Big Mom that they would not let her reach the roof, even if they died in the battle.[57]

    Law told Kid to prepare himself as the former would spend his last remaining stamina in a final attack. Kid took the opportunity to attack Big Mom once more, sticking her to one of the Live Floor's towers through his awakening. Big Mom, however, countered his maneuver and summoned a new homie, Misery, to burn Kid down. Kid was able to able to survive the attack and observed as Law pulled his final move. Taking advantage of the hole Law had produced with his awakening, Kid created an enormous railgun and fired a powerful projectile directly on Big Mom's stomach.

    However, this was not enough to finish off Big Mom, who activated her Soul Pocus in order to steal the souls of Kid and Law's crewmates. The technique, however, ended up being ineffective on both captains, who held no fear towards the Emperor. They then proceeded to silence and launch Big Mom out of Onigashima and directly into the crater Law had formed beforehand. With Big Mom falling victim to an explosion down below due to an explosive she accidentally detonated, a massively spent Kid and Law were heavily celebrated by their crews for the win.

    With only Luffy's fight left to finish, Kid waited for the battle to conclude, considering the possibility of Kaidou emerging as the winner. Once Kaidou descended from the rooftop and announced his victory over the Straw Hat captain, Kid lamented the outcome, but also declared that he would not go down without a fight as he prepared himself for combat once more. He was targeted by Kaidou's forces, but his crew protected him.

    Later Kid and Killer rejoiced when Kaidou's defeat was finally confirmed.[58] One week later, Kid and his crew oversaw the repairs of the Victoria Punk, Thousand Sunny and Polar Tang alongside Usopp, Franky and the Heart Pirates at Tokage Port. Apoo then arrived with a newspaper showing Kid's new Beli3,000,000,000 bounty as well as the new members of the Four Emperors. Angry about the contents of the paper, Kid rushed to the Flower Capital to confront Luffy about the news but ended up forced into taking part in the festival's fireworks showcase against his will.[59]

    A few days later, while their crews were loading up cargo at Tokage Port, Kid, Luffy and Law tried to decide between themselves new routes for each of them to follow, with Kid eventually setting for the easternmost path after beating Luffy at straws. Kid also ended up receiving a rubbing of Wano's Road Poneglyph from Law for his decisive role in the raid.With his crew ready to set sail, the Kid Pirates departed from Wano.[60]

    Following the sea route their captain chose back at Wano, the Kid Pirates eventually reached their next destination, Elbaph.[61] Shortly after their arrival, they encountered the Giant Warrior Pirates, the Red Hair Pirates, and the captains allied with Red Hair Pirates, thus prompting the crew to prepare for battle.[62] After Kid attempted to annihilate the attacking ships, Shanks himself abruptly appeared, quickly defeating Kid and Killer in a single attack while knocking out several members with Supreme King Haki. The remaining pirates begged for mercy and offered up their Road Poneglyph rubbings, however Dorry and Brogy then split the Victoria Punk in half, sinking the Kid Pirates.[2] News of their defeat seems to have leaked outside of Elbaph,[63] as the Fake Straw Hat Crew were seen impersonating the Kid Pirates in a G-4 prison cell.[7]

    Sassy & Arrogant One-Liners"It's over already? Pathetic..." — Said when an opponent goes down way too easily."Trash like you aren't fit to stand in front of me. Get lost!" — His go-to line for dismissing minor rivals or enemies."You're coming after me with a weapon like that? Looks like you don't know my abilities." — Pure, mocking confidence before destroying an opponent."You haven't got the guts!" — Taunting anyone who hesitates to face him."Scream as much as you like! I'll silence you!" — Not very nice, but very characteristic of his aggressive flair. Kid Pirates in One Piece is famous for his ruthless, sarcastic, and brutally dismissive attitude. He does not sugarcoat his contempt for weaklings or hypocritical authorities.

    Eustass "Captain" Kid is a ruthless, fiercely proud, and ambitious pirate. Known for his extreme short temper and violent cruelty, he notably contrasts with Luffy by relentlessly attacking anyone who dares mock his dream of becoming the Pirate King.His personality is defined by several distinct traits:Ruthless & Unforgiving: Kid is notoriously violent and intolerant of weakness. In the ruthless New World, he is known for crucifying other pirate crews just because they were too weak to survive there.Fierce Pride & Ambition: He has an ironclad will and refuses to back down or submit to anyone. He shares a common goal with Luffy of reaching the top, but where Luffy smiles at insults, Kid responds with explosive rage.Deep Loyalty to Crew: Despite his villainous tendencies toward rivals and civilians, he is deeply protective of his first mate, Killer, and the rest of his crew. He strongly despises betrayal or dishonorable tactics.Fearless but Reckless: Driven by a "kill-or-be-killed" mindset, he has no hesitation challenging the most dangerous figures in the world, including Emperors like Big Mom, Kaido, and Shanks.

    Eustass Kid would be fiercely loyal, fiercely protective, and highly unromantic in the traditional sense. His dynamic with a partner would be rough-around-the-edges—full of teasing, cocky smirks, and shared ambitions—rather than soft or overtly mushy.A more detailed look into how he would treat his wife includes:Tough-Love and Mutual Respect: Kid wouldn't treat his wife like a damsel in distress. Because he values strength and determination, he’d expect her to hold her own and wouldn't baby her.Public Aloofness, Private Intimacy: He is not the type for grand, public displays of affection. He’d keep the mushy stuff behind closed doors, opting instead for casual roughhousing, light teasing, and an occasional smirk or casual physical touch in front of his crew.Extreme Protectiveness: Despite his aggressive demeanor, anyone who messed with his wife would face his full wrath. He’d be deeply fiercely loyal and would annihilate anyone who dared to threaten his family.Shared Ambition: He would treat his wife as a true equal in the pirate life. Rather than leaving her behind, he’d want her right by his side, celebrating his victories and working toward the top together.

    Eustass "Captain" Kid has two official hobbies: collecting weapons and listening to music (specifically functioning as a DJ). These passions perfectly align with his Magnet-Magnet Fruit powers and his aggressive, rebellious personality.Hobbies & InterestsCollecting Weapons: Kid is an avid weapon collector. This hobby ties directly into his Devil Fruit, as he constantly scavenges scrap metal, swords, and firearms from battlefields to build his massive mechanical arms, golems, and railguns.DJing: Officially designated by series creator Eiichiro Oda in the One Piece SBS Q&As, Kid enjoys spinning tracks and acting as a DJ, fitting his punk-rock aesthetic and vibrant crew name, the "Victoria Punk".Personality & TriviaBulls: Oda noted that Kid's animal motif is the bull. This reflects his hot-tempered nature, his charging "Punk Corna Dio" attack, and his tendency to charge headfirst into conflict.Least Favorite Food: Kid strongly dislikes Curry Udon, a hatred stemming from his childhood in the South Blue slums. He and his right-hand man, Killer, laughed at a childhood friend for spilling the dish on her shirt, which resulted in a brutal beating.Favorite Foods: He enjoys cabbage and shrimp in garlic oil.

    Eustass Kid from One Piece is a harsh, violent, and prideful captain, but his core personality reveals an extreme, blazing devotion. If he cared for a lover, he would not handle it softly; he would possess a fierce, destructive loyalty, willing to burn down the entire world for them.The Nature of Kid's DevotionTotal Intensity: Kid does not do things by halves. His emotions are explosive, matching his Devil Fruit powers.Vengeful Protection: Fan and community consensus on platforms like Tumblr highlights that if anyone dared harm his partner, Kid wouldn't just internalize the grief—he would hunt down and obliterate the threat with absolute wrath.Historical Proof: He literally named his flagship, the Victoria Punk, in honor of his first childhood attachment, proving that deep down, his scars and loyalty run permanently.How He Acts Around Loved OnesDenial and Frustration: He hates being vulnerable. Realizing he has fallen for someone would initially anger him because it distracts from his goal of becoming the Pirate King.Rough Affection: He is short-tempered and loud. He would express care through rough banter, glaring protectively, and keeping them close rather than speaking in sweet poetry.Unwavering Trust: Just like his fierce bond with Killer, he expects strength, but he offers absolute, unshakeable backing in return. He stands as a man who goes down fighting for what—and who—is his.

    Eustass Kid would react with a volatile mix of seething jealousy, explosive possessiveness, and instant hostility. Known for his aggressive, no-nonsense personality, he wouldn't let a random flirt slide. Instead, he would immediately step in, assert his dominance, and make it painfully clear that his partner is strictly off-limits.His reaction would unfold in three distinct stages:The Intimidation (The Warning Glare): Kid's short fuse is notorious in the One Piece universe. If someone flirts with his partner, his first instinct is usually a piercing, murderous glare. Even if he doesn't immediately draw his weapons, he will channel his intimidating presence—and likely his Conqueror's Haki—to make the offending stranger back off instantly.The Claim: Kid has a fiercely possessive streak. He will quickly close the distance between you and the stranger, wrapping a heavy arm around your waist or pulling you flush against his chest. He won't just stare; he'll use his towering, heavily built frame to form a physical barrier, treating the stranger as an annoyance he can swat away.The "Boss" Flex: Depending on where you are, he'll loudly and sarcastically mock the stranger, making sure the flirt knows they are severely out of their league. Any arrogant flirting directed at his partner will be met with his trademark harsh, mocking laughter.Behind closed doors, however, his reaction shifts drastically. While he puts on a tough front to the world, his pride means he can get surprisingly bashful and easily flustered when he has you all to himself. He might grumble or act overly bossy to cover up his embarrassment, but he will quietly make sure you reaffirm your commitment to him.

Complex Mechanical EngineeringAdvanced Machinery: Instead of simply throwing blocks of metal, Kid uses magnetism to instantly compress, shape, and assemble random scrap metal into highly precise components like gears, cables, and pistons.Nervous System Integration: After losing his arm to the Red Hair Pirates, he engineered a custom cybernetic prosthetic arm. Wires were directly integrated into his skin, allowing it to function naturally through his nervous system.2. High-Level Physics ApplicationsThe "Damned Punk" Railgun: His ultimate weapon is an actual electromagnetic railgun.

Because he values strength and determination, he’d expect her to hold her own and wouldn't baby her.Public Aloofness, Private Intimacy: He is not the type for grand, public displays of affection. He’d keep the mushy stuff behind closed doors, opting instead for casual roughhousing, light teasing, and an occasional smirk or casual physical touch in front of his crew.Extreme Protectiveness: Despite his aggressive demeanor, anyone who messed with his wife would face his full wrath. He’d be deeply fiercely loyal and would annihilate anyone who dared to threaten his family.Shared Ambition: He would treat his wife as a true equal in the pirate life. Rather than leaving her behind, he’d want her right by his side, celebrating his victories and working toward the top together.

    Eustass "Captain" Kid has two official hobbies: collecting weapons and listening to music (specifically functioning as a DJ). These passions perfectly align with his Magnet-Magnet Fruit powers and his aggressive, rebellious personality.Hobbies & InterestsCollecting Weapons: Kid is an avid weapon collector. This hobby ties directly into his Devil Fruit, as he constantly scavenges scrap metal, swords, and firearms from battlefields to build his massive mechanical arms, golems, and railguns.DJing: Officially designated by series creator Eiichiro Oda in the One Piece SBS Q&As, Kid enjoys spinning tracks and acting as a DJ, fitting his punk-rock aesthetic and vibrant crew name, the "Victoria Punk".Personality & TriviaBulls: Oda noted that Kid's animal motif is the bull. This reflects his hot-tempered nature, his charging "Punk Corna Dio" attack, and his tendency to charge headfirst into conflict.Least Favorite Food: Kid strongly dislikes Curry Udon, a hatred stemming from his childhood in the South Blue slums. He and his right-hand man, Killer, laughed at a childhood friend for spilling the dish on her shirt, which resulted in a brutal beating.Favorite Foods: He enjoys cabbage and shrimp in garlic oil.

    Eustass Kid would treat his lover with a fierce, possessive, and surprisingly devoted loyalty, balancing brutal, rough passion with moments of private, unguarded tenderness. Beneath his explosive exterior, he is fiercely protective and highly attentive, provided his partner honors his expectations of absolute loyalty.His treatment of a significant other can be broken down into a few key dynamics:Possessive & Clingy in Private: Despite his tough exterior and the general tension on his ship, the Kid Pirates, he is a private man who becomes remarkably needy and affectionate when the door shuts. He constantly needs to be touching them—holding them close, playing with their hair, or pulling them near.Intense Jealousy: Kid does not tolerate any disloyalty or people getting too comfortable with others. He demands complete devotion, and he is prone to petty jealousy or throwing the silent treatment when he feels ignored, but he balances this with a readiness to do whatever his partner asks if they play their cards right.Rough and Primal Passion: His romantic and intimate life is strongly influenced by his intense, sometimes volatile personality. His interactions often border on the rough and primal, driven by his natural dominance and occasional jealousy.Unwavering Protection: Much like his dedication to his childhood comrade and trusted partner, Killer, Kid would die for his crewmates and those he loves. He will go to great lengths to ensure his lover's safety in a dangerous world, keeping them out of harm's way even if it means keeping them close by his side at all times.

He balances his explosive temper and ruthless ambition with a deeply private, gentle devotion that he only shows his partner.Here is what it looks like to be married to the infamous Supernova:Quiet Devotion: He rarely acts like a lovesick puppy in public and hates being teased about his affection, but his mind is never far from his spouse. He flaunts his partner with pride and holds hands privately to soothe his restless energy.The "Soft" Spot: Because he is so used to guarding everyone else on his ship, he accepts—and even secretly enjoys—being fussed over, whether it is running fingers through his hair or fixing his rugged clothes.Equal Partnership: He respects a strong partner. Fans and creators agree that he expects his spouse to hold their own, often sharing domestic duties like cooking for the Kid Pirates.Fierce Protector: Any threat to his family results in his aggressive, magnetic wrath.

His Kid Pirates crew would react with total shock initially, followed by intense teasing, and finally, fierce, brotherly support for his partner.How the Crew Reacts1.

Heat and Wire (The Loyal Combatants)The Reaction: Total astonishment. Because Kid is normally so volatile and quick to resort to violence against outsiders, seeing him domesticate would cause a comical panic within the top ranks of the crew.The Dynamic: Once they get over the shock, they would view the spouse as family, fiercely guarding them during battles just as they do their Captain.3. The Rest of the Kid PiratesThe Reaction: They would constantly tease their boss, finding immense joy in seeing his usually stoic and angry face turn red when flustered.The Dynamic: They would adopt the spouse like a mascot, perhaps even sneaking them extra helpings of food on the Victoria Punk while gossiping about their Captain's love life.The Husband PersonaAggressive Devotion: He isn't the type to write poetry. Instead, he would show love by bringing back rare, stolen treasures and personally destroying anyone who dares to insult or threaten his partner.Stubborn Communication: He is deeply sensitive to his partner's feelings but terrible at expressing them. He would likely tell his spouse "I told you not to fall in love with me," while holding them as close as possible.Highly Possessive: He takes the safety of his partner personally and won't let them lift a finger if he can help it.

    As a husband, Eustass "Captain" Kid is fiercely devoted and fiercely protective, though he masking his affection with grumbles and a tough exterior.

His ears and neck will turn dark, and he'll instinctively try to look away or scoff.Defensive Laughter: Instead of melting into a puddle, his immediate reflex when flustered is to throw his head back and laugh it off with a loud "Hah?!" or mumble a quick, defensive retort.The Sputtering Captain: When you catch him entirely off guard with sudden, genuine praise, the "Captain" persona shatters for a brief second. He'll sputter, lose his train of thought, and his face will flame bright red. He won't know whether to yell or get even more flustered.

    Eustass "Captain" Kid as a husband would be intense, protective, and surprisingly domestic behind closed doors. While he maintains a ruthless, bloodthirsty reputation, his crew would mercilessly tease him for becoming a soft, flustered mess around his spouse.The "Softie" HusbandOverprotective & Clingy: He would absolutely demand that his spouse wear his heavy fur coat in the cold or hold hands even when it risks his intimidating image.Secretly Domestic: He would use his Magnet-Magnet powers to secretly forge little metal trinkets or jewelry as surprise gifts.Prone to Blushing: He tries to act cool, but if his spouse praises him or plays with his messy red hair, he turns bright red and barks at them to stop.How the Crew Teases HimKiller's Smug Looks: His right-hand man, Killer, is the only one who can get away with it. Killer would constantly make dry, sarcastic remarks about Kid's "soft" behavior. When Kid gets too flustered around his spouse, Killer will just cross his arms and remind the Captain that they have an entire fleet to manage.The Iron Fidget Toy: Because Kid’s magnetic abilities cause his skin to naturally conduct his emotions, the crew notices when his chest is burning up. They regularly joke about him being a glorified "fidget toy" for his spouse.Fake Salutes: If Kid is seen helping his spouse with mundane things like carrying groceries or doing chores, the rest of the crew (like Heat and Wire) will suddenly stop and give him exaggerated military salutes.Mocking His Tough Guy Persona: Whenever Kid barks orders at the crew to look intimidating, his mates will openly retaliate by asking, "Who are you trying to scare, Captain? Should we ask your spouse for permission?"Fan & Community ConsensusLoyalty Above All: Across platforms like Reddit, fans agree that despite his abrasive, edgy exterior, Kid fiercely loves and cares about his crew.

    Kid comes off as a rude, vicious, and bloodthirsty pirate, notorious for causing huge amounts of civilian casualties. Whenever he feels like he is being mocked or insulted, even with just a glance, he is quick to resort to violence.[1] In fact, Kid can be so violent that he considers the choice of not immediately killing someone in his direct vicinity an act of gratitude.[20] He also seems to be cruel even when not provoked, crucifying another defeated pirate crew just because he deemed them too weak to roam around in the New World.[21] Kid is overall highly temperamental and has little patience with anyone getting in his way, although he is capable of restraining his anger in certain situations.[22] Kid can also be very petty, having killed countless civilians for merely mocking or laughing at him for his dream of being the Pirate King, killing several pirates in the New World for being weak, and attempting to kill Shanks' fleet solely to goad the Emperor to fight him.

    Kid is bold, cocky, and fearless, known to run into danger regardless of the consequences.[23] This is particularly the case when dealing with people who previously wronged him, at which point Kid will throw all caution to the wind and go straight for revenge.[24] He does not hesitate to challenge even the Four Emperors, having previously fought Kaidou[11] and Shanks[9] and destroyed two ships belonging to Big Mom.[25] Kid rarely backs down from a battle and may fight a powerful enemy until his last breath. The fact that he did not join the Beasts Pirates despite not standing a chance against Kaidou is a testament to Kid's disposition.[12] Kid seems to believe that possessing the determination to achieve the impossible is necessary to survive in the New World, and that anyone who does not is as good as dead.[21]

    Kid is very prideful of his reputation and aims to reach a top spot in the world of piracy, which he plans to achieve by beating the Four Emperors, even if it means dying for it.[26] That said, Kid has no interest in utilizing weapons of mass destruction (although he is curious about their existence) or other tools that could help him achieve those goals, instead just preferring to confront them head-on with his own power.[27] Because of this, he dislikes joining forces with others and sharing his targets with them, thinking that they will just interfere in what should be his fight alone.[28] He also hates being the subject of false rumors that paint him in a negative light, being quick to clarify them if he overhears someone talking about him.[9] Because of his pride, Kid is notorious for being unreasonably stubborn, unwilling to back down no matter how impossible the task is.

    Kid can be really a bit over the top but he has a fascination with you and making sure no one touches or harms you. He might be a slight brute but he's just confused on his obsession for you. He'll figure it out eventually. He will also pretend to be tough when he first holds you but will start making sure everyone knows you are his.

He shares a common goal with Luffy of reaching the top, but where Luffy smiles at insults, Kid responds with explosive rage.Deep Loyalty to Crew: Despite his villainous tendencies toward rivals and civilians, he is deeply protective of his first mate, Killer, and the rest of his crew. He strongly despises betrayal or dishonorable tactics.Fearless but Reckless: Driven by a "kill-or-be-killed" mindset, he has no hesitation challenging the most dangerous figures in the world, including Emperors like Big Mom, Kaido, and Shanks.

    Eustass "Captain" Kid[7] is a notorious pirate from the South Blue and the captain of the Kid Pirates.[1] He is one of twelve pirates who are referred to as the "Worst Generation".[8]

    Kid first appeared at the Sabaody Archipelago at the same time Monkey D. Luffy and his crew arrived. Both were described as members of the "Eleven Supernovas", pirates who had congregated on the island who all had a bounty of more than Beli100,000,000. After briefly fighting alongside Luffy while escaping an attack by the Marines, he fled the archipelago and would later spectate the Summit War of Marineford alongside the other Supernovas.

    During Luffy's two years of training, Kid challenged one of the Four Emperors, Shanks, but lost one of his arms to Benn Beckman in the process.[9] He attempted to form an alliance with the On Air Pirates and Hawkins Pirates to challenge the Red Hair Pirates once more, but the alliance fell apart after an attack from another Emperor, Kaidou,[10][11][12] which led to his imprisonment at Wano Country where he would eventually reunite with Luffy. Though nominally acting in self-interest towards vengeance and glory, Kid's assistance towards the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance was instrumental in defeating Kaidou, Big Mom and the Beasts Pirates.

    After leaving Wano, Kid and his crew arrived at Elbaph and decided to challenge Shanks once more. However, the entire crew and their ship were decimated by Shanks and his allies, Dorry and Brogy.[13]

    Kid was originally introduced with a bounty of Beli315,000,000, largely due to a high number of civilian casualties caused by him and his crew, thus exceeding Luffy's when they first arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago.[14] Sometime during the timeskip, his bounty was raised from 315,000,000 to Beli470,000,000.[6] Kid's bounty was eventually raised to Beli3,000,000,000 for his role in defeating Big Mom of the Four Emperors alongside Trafalgar Law during the Raid on Onigashima.

    Due to his actions, Kid can be considered a minor ally during the Sabaody Archipelago Arc as well as a major ally during the Wano Country Arc.

    Advertisement Appearance Kid is a tall, muscular man with light skin and short, spiky, bright red hair, resembling flames. His nose has a particular shape, being quite pointed and having little protrusions on both sides. He has dark reddish, purple-colored lips, orange eyes (red in the manga), no eyebrows, and his fingernails are painted black.

    He dresses in an extravagant attire consisting of black and yellow lizard-print pants with a red fringe, motorcycle boots, and a blue sash under a green belt fastened by a large circular buckle with a four-leaf clover-like pattern in the middle. He also has a slim bandolier, also with minuscule bolts that go diagonally over his right shoulder and then tie to his waist, where he keeps a dagger with a Japanese-style hilt and what appears to be a flintlock gun. He also has gold bangles around both wrists.

    He wears a pair of studded, square-shaped yellow goggles with purple lenses on his forehead and a large fur captain's coat over his bare muscular torso. The dark brown coat is adorned with spikes on its shoulders lined in maroon. The collar of the coat is extremely flared and wide. He typically wears this coat with his right arm in its sleeve and his left arm under the coat itself.[1]

    In SBS Volume 64, Oda drew the Supernovas as children. Kid is shown with spikier and more spread-out hair, similar to a lion's mane. He also wore larger and rounder goggles and did not have dark lips. He was depicted tinkering with a toy robot with a wrench. His blue sleeveless shirt, like his yellow striped pants, has a sewn patch.[15]

    After the timeskip, he is shown with slightly longer hair that appears to be pushed back. He also has a large scar that drags from the left side of his forehead and goes down his neck and another smaller one that goes through his left eye. There are two parallel scars on his lower right arm and another big one on his stomach. He lost his left arm to just above the elbow during the two-year timeskip in a battle against the Red Hair Pirates, first mate, Benn Beckman,[9][16] and until his imprisonment by the Beasts Pirates, he replaced it with a mechanical one that is somehow connected to his nervous system, shown by the presence of several metallic wires embedded directly into his skin. The mechanical arm was damaged in his fight against Kaidou and later stripped from him to disarm him and put him at a further disadvantage if he rebelled against his captor. His attire consists of his trademark spotted pants and a black open vest, held down by a belted war kilt. He also has a long dark red coat, worn over his shoulders. He appears to have become more muscular and also has scars on his right forearm, left pectoral, and on the left side of his abdomen. He no longer wears any impractical jewelry.[6]

    During the Raid on Onigashima, he assembled a new mechanical arm.[17] It was later temporarily severed due to Hawkins' damage transfer,[18] but was ultimately repaired.[19]

Despite this stubbornness, Kid has shown moments of maturity, willing to put his pride aside to work with his fellow Worst Generation members in overthrowing the Emperors of the Sea.

    Kid is shown to be quite cynical about the World Government. He is not blind to the way the World Nobles act, remarking that, compared to them, pirates are almost humane in nature and honest about their faults, unlike the Nobles that justify their abuses of power through ancestry.[22] After Camie had been sold in the Human Auctioning House to Rosward Charlos, Kid declared that the whole affair was a "farce"[29] and similarly held a similar point of view regarding the broadcast of the Summit War of Marineford, calling it a "charade".[30] For this reason, he felt amusement and catharsis when Charlos was punched down by an irate Luffy.[31]

    “ You know… On our journey up to this point, we've been laughed at and ridiculed whenever we mentioned getting our hands on the One Piece. And each time that happened, I slaughtered everyone who laughed. But what lies ahead is a sea of death for those who don't got the guts to mention it. Let's meet again in the New World! ” — Kid[32]

    Kid and Luffy display many similarities in terms of attitude. Kid and Luffy display many similarities in terms of attitude.

    Kid has the same dream as Luffy: to find One Piece and become the new Pirate King. Because of this and Luffy's recklessness, he seems to have a great deal of respect for him even if he sometimes has trouble admitting it. However, while both captains often encounter similar problems and obstacles in their paths, Kid prefers to deal with them in his own bloody manner by apparently slaughtering anyone and everyone who ever dared to laugh at his ambition, making him an antithesis to Luffy, who otherwise does not care about what others think of his dreams.[32][14] Surprisingly, belying his rough attitude, Kid can be childishly competitive and will mock his rivals any chance he gets, especially when Luffy and Law are involved.

    Another similarity Kid has to Luffy is a strong degree of affection for his crewmates. Kid will recklessly defend or rescue his subordinates if they are mocked or in danger. His concern for his longtime friend and right-hand man Killer having eaten a SMILE was enough that Kid did not care whatsoever about being captured a second time just a few days after managing to escape his captors.[33] Kid is also rather gluttonous, not minding hard labor as long as he gets access to large amounts of food.[34]

    Unlike Luffy, however, Kid is rather unfriendly and mistrusting of others, rarely leaving his guard down and warning his subordinates to follow suit. The failure of his alliance with the On Air Pirates and Hawkins Pirates, which happened due to the betrayal of Scratchmen Apoo, seems to have reinforced this mindset, as he initially turned down an offer from Luffy to team up with the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance.[20] Kid would eventually change his mind but still acted as a reluctant ally for the most part, only joining forces with Luffy for the sake of their rivalry. However, Kid shows no concern towards his allies or their deaths so long as he gets what he wants. This turns out to be a flaw of Kid, as during his rematch against Shanks and his fleet, Kid approached his fleet without any allies around to help him, and it cost him and his crew their ship and their Road Ponyglyph rubbings because of his pride.

    Advertisement Relationships Crew Kid seems to have a good relationship with his crewmembers that have been revealed. Killer keeps his captain calm when he gets angered. Wire and Heat hold high respect and concern for their captain. According to Basil Hawkins, Kid's crew was forced to work under the Kurozumi Family and the Beasts Pirates, with the life of their captain being used as a bargaining chip.[12]

    After becoming Kaidou's prisoner, Kid was noticeably worried about what had happened to his crew and tried looking for them around the first time he escaped from the Prisoner Mine at Udon.[33] Once he was freed for the second time thanks to Luffy's efforts, he still prioritized finding the rest of his crewmates and stated that he would only trust them from now on, as a result of Apoo and Hawkins' betrayal.

    During the raid on Onigashima, Kid's crew valiantly attempted to stand against Big Mom when the latter had seemingly managed to knock out their captain, although Kid eventually managed to recover and counterattack, to their delight. They also tearfully celebrated their boss's win against Big Mom and kept loyally protecting him even when it seemed like Kaidou had gained the upper hand over the alliance.

    Killer Both Kid and Killer grew up together, so they share a close bond that goes back to childhood.[35] Kid refers to Killer as his partner and is aware that the latter is sensitive about his own strange laugh, which is why, despite being unaware about Killer having eaten a defective SMILE, he knew something was wrong with his subordinate. This was enough for Kid to attempt a reckless rescue of his friend, which led to his second capture from the Beasts Pirates after managing to escape the first time.[33]

    Killer has displayed immense loyalty for Kid multiple times; it was due to Kid's life being in danger that Killer ate a defective SMILE fruit and became a subordinate of Kurozumi Orochi, showcasing extreme loyalty for Kid.[36] Another notable instance of this happened during the war against the Beasts Pirates at Onigashima, when Hawkins managed to link his life to Kid's, which forced Killer on the defensive so he would not accidentally kill his captain, even begging Hawkins to take his life instead as long as he left Kid's alone.

    Killer usually acts as the voice of reason for his captain, making sure Kid stays focused and does not lose sight of his goals due to impulsiveness.[10] Killer also provides Kid with useful information whenever the latter displays curiosity in a certain topic.[21]

    Kid sees Luffy as a prominent rival for the mantle of the next Pirate King, once declaring that they would become enemies in the New World.[32] After the Whitebeard War, he stated that he was not generous enough to let Luffy run around as he pleased, showing intent to compete with him for notoriety and not get left behind. Regardless, Luffy has earned Kid's interest with his actions against the World Government prior to their first meeting, with Kid coming to respect Luffy for assaulting a World Noble and being the only Supernova to join the war, which he admitted was enough to put Luffy at the forefront of the other super rookies. After the timeskip, he expressed amusement when watching Luffy's capture on Punk Hazard and, later, demonstrated great curiosity about the Luffy-Law alliance and their goals.[6]

    Kid and Luffy team up against Dobon. Kid and Luffy team up against Dobon.

    After meeting again in a prison in Wano Country, Kid and Luffy became competitive with each other and would argue about who had done more slave work. Despite this rivalry, they cooperated to defeat the deputy warden Dobon after he had confronted and tried to punish them for taking most of the prison's rations.[34] Luffy also showed some concern for Kid when Queen threatened to drown him. After he had been freed, Luffy offered an alliance to take down Kaidou, but Kid initially rejected the offer, as he still felt bitter about being betrayed during his previous alliance with Apoo and Hawkins. However, he joined Luffy and Law in the battle against the Beasts Pirates, not wanting Luffy to get all the glory in defeating Kaidou. Afterwards, despite his bounty increase, Kid's rivalry and general resentment with Luffy remained strong, with him angrily threatening Luffy with death for the latter's new spot in the Four Emperors.[38] When leaving Wano, Kid provoked Luffy into racing him down at the waterfall.

    Despite frequent denials about viewing Luffy as an ally,[39] Kid seemingly trusts the Straw Hat captain's strength. While battling Big Mom by his lone self, Kid was visibly pleased upon learning that Luffy, even while knocked out, would not give up until he won against Kaidou, in spite of previous announcements that claimed he had died in combat against the Emperor. Kid did appear to lose hope briefly when Luffy's death was claimed a second time and Kaidou descended upon him and the rest of the alliance but was resolute to keep fighting until the end anyway.

    Kid calls Luffy "stupid monkey," while Luffy calls Kid "Jaggy" (ギザ男, Giza-o?).

    Advertisement Trafalgar D. Water Law “ ...I've heard rumors about him, and they weren't pleasant. His manners aren't too good either... ” — Kid about Law.[40]

    In the manga, Law gave Kid the finger when he (presumably) overheard Kid talking behind his back regarding rumors of how Law's manners appear to be rather lacking.[22] Later on, when Kid volunteered to deal with the Marines amassing outside of the Auctioning House as a farewell gift to the Straw Hats and the Heart Pirates, both Law and Luffy took Kid's cockiness as an insult and opted to follow him outside in order to compete with the fellow super rookie. When Kid insisted that he alone would be sufficient enough for the task and ordered the other two to step down, Law was the first to retaliate by threatening Kid should the latter attempt to order him around. Nevertheless, Law sided once again with Kid after the two crews had been confronted by a Pacifista.

    Kid seems to have retained an interest in Law in the New World and was pleased to see that the surgeon was planning something instead of acting like a "Government Dog," further confirmed by his major interest in the Luffy-Law alliance. Later on, he teamed up with Law during the Fire Festival, though they were still prone to arguing with each other.[41] Kid seems to like mocking Law for his alliance with Luffy, especially since Law often follows Luffy's words.[42] That said, he is annoyed when Law attempts to do the same to him by telling him what to do.

    During the events of the Wano Country Arc, they teamed up together once more during the fight against Kaidou and Big Mom, even forming a brief alliance to take down the latter by herself. Despite Kid's protests about Law seemingly getting in his way and their general bickering over trivial things, he was able to work alongside the Surgeon of Death to defeat the Emperor. After Kaidou and Big Mom's downfalls, Law gives Kid another copy of the Road Poneglyph for helping him and Luffy to defeat Kaidou and Big Mom. While leaving Wano, Kid provoked Law into racing down at the waterfall.

    Enemies World Government “ World Nobles... Slaves... Human shops... Against the "purity" of these "upper classes", the villains of the world look positively humane in comparison. It's because the world's in the hands of scum like them that it's all screwed to hell... I mean, we're not the nicest of guys, but at least we're honest about it. ” — Kid, commenting on the World Nobles.[43]

    As a pirate with a tremendously high bounty, Kid is a major enemy of the Marines. Before the timeskip, his strict behavior against innocent civilians earned him a high bounty, enough to topple Luffy's, who had taken down key assets of the World Government beforehand.[14] He, along with Trafalgar Law and Monkey D. Luffy, fought against many marine units at the Sabaody Archipelago, with their combined being acknowledged by many of the infantrymen there.

    Kid also despises the World Nobles and their actions, finding the notion that they can just own whoever they wanted due to their untouchable status as "farce". Apparently, Kid became a pirate himself with the intent of rebelling against what he considered the "scum" who ruled the world.[3] Luffy showing up and punching Charlos in the face at the Human Auctioning House was met with much amusement from his part for that reason.

    Advertisement Four Emperors According to Killer and Hawkins, Kid aims to hunt down the Four Emperors.[26] Kid has confronted many of them during his career, with varying degrees of success. After the events of the raid on Onigashima, Kid seemingly expected to become an Emperor himself, and was furious to find out he had been snubbed of the position despite his role in taking down Big Mom, overlooking the fact he needed Laws assistance to win.[5]

    Shanks No direct interaction has been shown between the two, but Kid formed an alliance with fellow captains Basil Hawkins and Scratchmen Apoo to overthrow the Emperor, Red-Haired Shanks. Kid also confirmed that he had lost his arm in an encounter with the Red Hair Pirates.[9][16]

    When Kid was later confronted into a battle with Shanks on Elbaph, he was excited at the possibility of battling Shanks for revenge for his prior loss despite the high probability of dying in the process, not showing any fear of losing.[44] When he is forced to face off against Shanks' subordinate crew, Kid tries to destroy them all with his railgun, but he is instantly defeated by Shanks himself, who foresaw how catastrophic Kid's attack would be. Afterwards, Shanks' friends Dorry and Brogy destroyed his ship, knocking him and his entire crew into the sea and took his Poneglyph rubbings for himself.[13]

    Charlotte Linlin “ You think the last gasps... of an old windbag scares me?! ” — Kid to Big Mom when he is immune to Soul Pocus.[45]

    During the timeskip, Kid invaded Totto Land and injured one of Big Mom's Sweet Commanders before stealing a Poneglyph rubbing from the Emperor. He later sank two of the Emperor's ships while having no concern if she retaliated. Despite this hostility, Kid stated to Caribou that he had no interest in going after Big Mom.

    Kid met Big Mom again at Onigashima, with Kid taking part in the group that faced the duo of Kaidou and Big Mom at the top of the Skull Dome. Kid was one of the Supernovas responsible for pushing Big Mom out of the Skull Dome's rooftop, which caused her to nearly drown in Wano Country's sea. When Big Mom made her way back into Onigashima, she specifically targeted Kid with her new homie Hera and angrily called out for him to reveal himself to her, still visibly furious about the stunt he had pulled that almost killed her.[46] Kid, however, was not intimidated by her surprising return and kept hunting her down, intent on not letting her rejoin Kaidou. Kid somewhat regained his interest in taking down Big Mom just to get a lot of fame. Kid declared to Big Mom that she is a nuisance when there is no place for her in the new era, in addition to calling her an "old-time pirate," much to Big Mom's rage.

    Big Mom seemingly did not take Kid seriously until he and Law managed to severely injure her. The resulting damage was enough to impress the Emperor, who then started to acknowledge their threat, even going as far as sacrificing some of her own life to gain additional power so she could crush the two. In the end, however, Big Mom's efforts were still not enough to take down Kid and Law, who both showed no fear at all towards her status as one of the Emperors, meaning they were immune to her Soul Pocus as well, and Kid even called Big Mom an "old hag." Once Kid and Law managed to launch her down into a crater with the help of an explosive she accidentally detonated, Big Mom, confident that she would not die, swore that they would pay.

    Advertisement Kaidou Kid encountered Kaidou when the latter fell out of the sky and landed at the Kid Pirates' hideout before coming face to face with the rookie pirate. Kid refused to submit to Kaidou and tried to fight him only to be defeated and captured. Kaidou then imprisoned Kid, hoping to eventually break his spirit and turn him into a soldier for the Beasts.

    During his imprisonment, Kid was shown to hold a strong grudge against Kaidou and firmly told Luffy that he would be the one to defeat the Emperor.[9] However, after seeing what happened to Killer, Kid decided to prioritize finding the rest of his crew and rejected Luffy's offer for an alliance.

    After getting his crew back, he joined Luffy and Law to take down Kaidou, but just for the glory of defeating him and getting back for what the Beasts Pirates had done to him and his crew, not for the Kouzuki revolution. He took part in the confrontation against both Kaidou and Big Mom at the top of the Skull Dome.

    Buggy Kid apparently does not take Buggy as an Emperor seriously, implying that he holds no respect for the clown pirate at all. Kid has even admitted that the notion of Buggy as an Emperor was worse for him to deal with than Luffy having the same status, although he did seem entertained at the idea behind the Cross Guild and its capability of issuing bounties on the Marines.[47]

    Scratchmen Apoo Kid once got into a fight with Apoo at Sabaody Archipelago, but they both agreed to postpone their fight until after they had entered the New World. During their meeting in the New World, Apoo wrecked Kid's hideout and beat up one of his crew members because of the possibility that Kid was hiding a sniper, enraging Kid and resulting in a scuffle. However, it was revealed shortly afterwards, they in fact planned to form an alliance.[10] Despite their differences, they came into an agreement.

    Kid and Apoo seemed to have gotten on more amiable terms with each other as themselves and their crews were able to eat and party together.[48] However, following the encounter with Kaidou, Apoo revealed himself to be a spy for the Beasts Pirates, having already joined Kaidou beforehand and letting the Emperor know about the location of their Pirate Alliance, leading to Kid distrusting other pirates except his own crew. Upon seeing Apoo again during the raid on Onigashima, Kid wasted no time attacking him, even disregarding the risk of revealing his presence to the Beasts Pirates. Apoo did not regret betraying Kid, as he himself looked down to the concept of alliances, thinking they never ended well.[24]

    Following the events of the raid on Onigashima, Kid and Apoo appear to have gone back to at least mildly tolerating each other, with Kid still disliking Apoo's presence, but not to the point of sheer hostility.[49]

    Advertisement Basil Hawkins Hawkins was another Worst Generation captain that Kid formed an alliance with, alongside Apoo. At first, Hawkins showed impatience regarding Kid and Apoo's animosity and nearly left the meeting but was convinced by Killer to stay.[10] Kid and Hawkins eventually came to an agreement, with Hawkins' crew later being shown partying with the Kid and On Air Pirates.[48]

    However, when Kaidou crashed into Kid's hideout and faced the alliance, Hawkins did not stand up against the Emperor and accepted to join the Beasts Pirates out of survival. He did witness Kid and Killer fighting Kaidou to the end and was aware that Kid would not submit himself to anyone.[12]

    Later at Onigashima, Hawkins confronted both Kid and Killer. Kid considered Hawkins a traitor, but the latter justified himself, saying that he had been betrayed by Apoo as well and followed the only choice he had at the time.[50] Unbeknownst to Kid, Hawkins had somehow managed to link his own life to his at some point, which led to Kid being sabotaged as he fought Big Mom, something that greatly amused Hawkins. Ultimately, Killer fought Hawkins on his own and was able to defeat him on Kid's behalf.[51]

    Later on, Hawkins admitted to X Drake that, despite foreseeing Kaidou's downfall, he did not attempt to join forces with Kid again out of pride and shame for not opposing Kaidou the same way Kid did, confirming what Killer had told him earlier during their fight.[52]

    Abilities and Powers As the captain of the Kid Pirates, Kid has complete authority over the crew. As a member of the Worst Generation, he is a powerful pirate.

    Prior to the timeskip, he had a reward of Beli315,000,000, the highest among the Eleven Supernovas at the time, for dealing major destruction and civilian casualties along their route through the Grand Line and towards the New World.[14] In the Human Auctioning House, he effortlessly defeated a large group of Marines alongside Monkey D. Luffy and Trafalgar Law. Later, he along with his crew also managed to escape from a Pacifista and Admiral Kizaru.

    After the timeskip, Kid appears to have become much more powerful, surviving the Red Hair Pirates to a battle and wounding one of Big Mom's Sweet Commanders,[9] as well as later destroying two ships belonging to her.[25] His bounty rose to Beli470,000,000.[6]

    During the Raid on Onigashima, he has shown to be powerful enough to fight against the two Emperors, Kaidou and Big Mom, dealing damage to them despite their near-impenetrable defenses.[53] Later, Kid briefly faced Big Mom, in a singles match, before wrestling, alongside Law, in a match receiving Hawkins' damage. After she had been empowered with a year of her life, while wielding her special Homies, Hera, Prometheus, and Napoleon, all of whom had grown stronger and more in sync, the two Supernovas, often using their awakened powers managed to push Big Mom towards her limits and landing a devastating blow against the feared Emperor, resulting in her eventual defeat.[54]

    Having defeated the former Emperor, Big Mom, Kid gained a bounty of Beli3,000,000,000,[5] making him one of the most dangerous pirates in the world, with his new bounty matching that of the current Emperor and rival, Monkey D Luffy. However, in spite of his increase in strength, he still is no match for an Emperor head on, having been easily defeated by Shanks alone due to having overestimated his own strength compared to the Emperor, a mistake that potentially cost him and his crew their lives.

    Kid also appears well-connected, as he is aware of dealings within the underworld and knew about Caesar Clown's experiments.

    Additionally, Kid has a strong will, as he was completely unaffected by a burst of Rayleigh's Supreme King Haki.[55] Like Jinbe and Law, Kid is also immune to Big Mom's "Soul Pocus" due to his lack of fear towards the Emperor.

    Advertisement Physical Abilities Kid possesses immense physical strength and resilience. While being cuffed with Seastone, which depletes the energy of Devil Fruit users, he was able to match Luffy's speed in carrying and delivering large stone blocks bigger than him even with only one arm. He was also able to endure the torture of his imprisonment by the Beasts Pirates. More impressively, Kid has enough power to challenge and fight against two members of the Four Emperors on the roof of Onigashima, withstand multiple attacks from both Emperors, and even deal damage to both Emperors who were both known for their near invulnerable bodies. Later inside of Onigashima, he was able to battle one of the Emperors head on, being able to withstand or even overpower direct attacks from the monstrously strong Big Mom, even after she had empowered herself further with her Devil Fruit abilities.[56][57] Another impressive feat was the fact that he was able to clash with her even while unknowingly under the effects of Basil Hawkins' Devil Fruit abilities.

    Kid has an extraordinary recovery rate, as one of the prison guards said that his body could heal in a few days. Similar to Luffy, Kid has an incredible metabolism where he can eat large amounts of food, to the point where he becomes fat and round, but instantly burns all the calories to replenish his stamina.[34]

    Kid is also an extremely skilled hand-to-hand combatant. While bound by Seastone cuffs and with only one arm, he managed to defeat Dobon, a Shinuchi of the Beast Pirates, alongside Luffy. Kid also managed to escape the Udon Prisoner Mine, while still cuffed in Seastone shackles.[58]

    Mechanical & Engineering Skills In order to make full use of his Devil Fruit abilities, Kid also has excellent mechanical engineering skills, able to use his control over metal to shape it into various forms such as enormous golems made out of scrap metal, fully functional firearms for ranged combat, gears and customized pieces, a personalized railgun, or even build simple objects like boxes for imprisoning targets. Even as a child, Kid displayed keen interest in machinery and displayed skill in building robotic constructs.

    Kid ate the Jiki Jiki no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to manipulate magnetic forces. He can attract and/or repel metal objects as he pleases, and he can also create magnetic fields that allow him to arrange metal objects into various configurations and constructs.

    Kid can arrange the metal objects stuck to his body into a variety of shapes, with his most common technique being to form a gigantic metal arm used to unleash powerful attacks. In addition to covering his real arms with metal, Kid was also shown using his magnetism to form a rough replacement left arm after his cybernetic left arm had been removed by the Beasts Pirates.[20]

    This power makes Kid a very dangerous opponent against fighters who use metal weapons, since he can either repel metal projectiles, such as cannonballs and bullets, or attract his enemies' blades and guns towards himself to use as building material for his own attacks.[59]

    Haki Main article: Haki Kid is one of the very few people in the world who can use all three types of Haki.[61] Despite this, he rarely uses them in combat, being more reliant on his Devil Fruit abilities.

    Supreme King Haki According to Kaidou, Kid possesses the ability to use Supreme King Haki.[62] a very rare form of Haki whose users are said to have the qualities of a "king". While he has not yet showcased his usage of it in the manga, Kid has been seen using it in both the Anime[63] and One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4.

    Observation Haki Kid is a very skilled user of Observation Haki, which he showcased during the Raid on Onigashima. He was able to sense that Luffy was defeated by Kaidou,[64] and was also able to sense Luffy's Devil Fruit Awakening.[65]

    Weapons Kid carries around a flintlock pistol and a dagger. Sometime during the timeskip, his left arm was replaced with a mechanical one, making him a cyborg.

    Advertisement History Past Eustass Kid was born in the South Blue within Kutsukku Island, which was unaffiliated with the World Government.[68] He knew Killer since they were children. One day, they ate curry udon with their first love, Victoria Shiruton Doruyanaika. They laughed when she spilled curry broth all over herself while eating it, causing her to beat them up. This caused curry udon to become their least favorite food.[35]

    Kid, Killer, Heat and Wire were bosses of gangs ruling the island's four towns. After Victoria was murdered by a rival gang, Kid unified the four groups and took down the rival gang. He then decided to form a pirate crew, naming their ship Victoria Punk after Victoria, with Kid as the captain and Killer as his right-hand man.[68] They were noted to have been responsible for a great deal of damage and had caused many civilian casualties for the slightest provocations along their journey. By the time he was 19 years old, he had already achieved an infamous reputation, having been mentioned by Portgas D. Ace four years ago as having caused a significant impact in the sea.[14][69]

    They eventually entered the Grand Line in search of the One Piece. After a long voyage following one of the Log Pose routes of the Grand Line, Kid and his crew arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago to prepare themselves for the New World. By that time, Kid had earned himself a staggering bounty of Beli315,000,000, making him a member of the as-of-yet named Worst Generation alongside Killer.

    Summit War Saga Sabaody Archipelago Arc While at the archipelago, he had a little squabble with Scratchmen Apoo in Grove 24. Before their battle could escalate further, Apoo asked Kid to postpone it until they went to the New World. Knowing what would happen if an incident were to happen, Kid agreed to Apoo's terms.[1]

    Kid and his crew then ventured deeper into the mangrove and entered the Human Auctioning House. As Kid waited for the auction to begin, he made a number of remarks to his crew, claiming that the World Nobles make pirates seem humane by comparison and bemoaning the twisted nature of the world order, before noting that he might actually join in on the slave auction. Kid later caught a glimpse of Trafalgar Law, who was already sitting for the auction, and was flipped off by the pirate doctor.[22] As the auction began, Kid noticed some members of the Straw Hat Pirates coming in and was disappointed to find the captain was not with them at the time, noting that he wished to see just how big an idiot and how crazy Monkey D. Luffy is supposed to be, as depicted in the newspapers.

    Kid watched through most of the auction until the World Noble Saint Rosward Charlos made an outrageously high Beli500,000,000 bid for the mermaid, Camie, which completely shut out the other participants in the auction. Seeing the noble go unchallenged, Kid decided to leave the auction house, considering it another example of what is wrong with the world. However, before he and his crew left the building, Luffy and Roronoa Zoro crashed through the wall right next to them. What followed next then was a ruckus caused by Luffy that caught Kid's eye. As the events unraveled, Kid, along with the rest of the crowd, watched in shock as Luffy punched Charlos out of anger for shooting his fish-man friend and ally, Hatchan. While most everyone in the auction house started panicking at this turn of events, Kid, as well as Trafalgar Law, simply smiled approvingly at what happened.[70]

    Just as Kid was watching the ensuing chaos, he noticed that someone suddenly came out of the back of the auction house's stage, along with a giant. He then witnessed the person knocking out nearly everyone in the place except for the Straw Hats and their allies with Haki. Having taken the blast and survived through it, Kid realized that this person was none other than Gol D. Roger's first mate, Silvers Rayleigh. As the situation continued, Kid and those still conscious realized that a bunch of Marines were surrounding the auction house for what Luffy did.

    Though happy at seeing how crazy Luffy is, as the rumors stated, Kid decided not to stick around to fight a Marine Admiral. Seeing as how the Marines were treating Kid's and Law's crews as if they were accomplices to the Straw Hats, Kid told Luffy and Law that he would go on ahead and clear a way for them so that they would not have to worry themselves. However, Luffy and Law were insulted by Kid's remarks and instead decided to go face the Marines along with him. Together, the three captains began to fight the Marines outside the auction house with their respective Devil Fruit powers.[71] Luffy noted that both Kid and Law have crazy powers, with Kid responding that Luffy had the weirdest.

    After beating back the first wave of Marine attacks and scattering them, Kid noted that their plan of attack was utterly demolished. He bid Luffy farewell and stated that it was nice meeting him but promised that the next time they meet, he would not be so merciful. Luffy unconcernedly replied that he would be the one to find One Piece. Both Kid and Law stared at Luffy and were even distracted from the attacking Marines. Killer defended Kid and scolded him for not paying attention. Kid reflected to Luffy that on his voyage, people had laughed when he made the same claim, and he killed everyone who laughed at him. He also stated that from this point, anyone without the nerve to claim One Piece would die on the seas. He invited both Luffy and Law to meet up with him in the New World before departing with his crew.

    After defeating the Marines, the Kid Pirates were on their way to leave the island when moments later, Kid and his crew were confronted by what they believed to be Warlord of the Sea Bartholomew Kuma (later revealed to be a Pacifista). It surprised both Kid and the pirates when it fired a laser from its mouth, which hit Kid's left leg.[72] Law and his crew happened to encounter them while escaping as well, and, despite Kid telling Law to stay back (which is met once again by Law's earlier threat), they both prepared to fight against the Pacifista.[73]

    Post-War Arc The Kid Pirates then approached Marineford and watched the war unfold from a safe distance on board of their ship. After the war was declared over by Sengoku, Kid commented that since Whitebeard died, the balance of the Three Great Powers was shifted with the New World under the control of the remaining Emperors Shanks, Kaidou, and Big Mom. Kid went on saying that the New Age, the likes of which no one has ever seen before, had begun.[74]

    Kid and his crew later arrived in the New World. He was reading aloud from the newspaper article about Luffy going to Marineford a second time. Following Killer's explanation about the Ox Bell, Kid thought Luffy's message meant a declaration of creating the new age himself. Kid found this amusing and acknowledged Luffy's boldness, but, at the same time, he was not generous enough to let Luffy stay ahead of him much longer. He then took Haritsu Kendiyo and his pirate crew captive and crucified them using his Devil Fruit powers despite their pleas for mercy, saying that people with that little amount of resolve had no business in the New World.[75]

    During the Timeskip Sometime during the two-year timeskip, as Kid got very involved in many conflicts,[3] he lost his left forearm in battle against the Red Hair Pirates' first mate, Benn Beckman.[16][9] He later replaced it with a large metal one.[6] Furthermore, his bounty has increased to Beli470,000,000.[6]

    At some point after this, Kid and his crew went to Big Mom's territory and injured Charlotte Snack, one of Big Mom's Sweet Commanders, as well as plundering a copy of her Road Poneglyph.[9][76] However, they were quickly forced to flee afterwards.[77]

    A few days after sinking two of the Big Mom Pirates' ships,[25] Kid watched Caesar Clown's broadcast of his new weapon of mass destruction via a video Den Den Mushi. When asked by Killer if he was interested in purchasing said weapon, he denied it, simply wanting to satisfy his curiosity about news on the black market despite his unaffiliation with broker activities.[27]

    After seeing his fellow Supernovas Luffy and Law captured, Kid then left the broadcast at the urging of Killer to meet up with some apparent guests they had summoned beforehand. Kid also mentioned that he was surprised about how Law was really planning something all along, having believed he had become a mere government dog.[10]

    Opening the door to the meeting room of his hideout, it was revealed that the guests were none other than Scratchmen Apoo and Basil Hawkins. Apoo, standing amongst a wrecked room and over one of Kid's badly beaten subordinates, started taunting Kid, leading him to instantly become enraged at the Longarm due to the damage he had caused. As the two challenged each other, Hawkins declared how foolish the meeting was and that he was leaving. Killer asked him to wait as he stepped between Kid and Apoo, reminding them that the three crews came together to try and form an alliance and asked that they at least try to discuss it.[10]

    A newspaper later revealed that the three captains came to an agreement and formed an alliance.[78]

    Advertisement Dressrosa Arc After reading the newspaper, he saw that Luffy, and Law had formed their own alliance and wondered which Emperor they were targeting.[79]

    Kid, Hawkins, and Apoo were dining together when they heard the news of Donquixote Doflamingo's defeat. They figured that Luffy, and Law were after Kaidou since Doflamingo was connected to him. They were pleased that Luffy and Law were not after the same Emperor as them, Shanks.[48]

    Sometime later, Kid and the others were alerted by what seemed to be an earthquake. Kid instructed his men to have their weapons drawn and drew closer to investigate. The source of the commotion was a large crater on the ground in the shape of a human. Kid was enraged and demanded an answer as to what person was behind this occurrence. He was answered by another explosion in the direction of the crater. It was then revealed that the man who had caused the explosion was Kaidou.[11] At that time, Kid, Killer, and Hawkins discovered that Apoo was already working for Kaidou with the intention of setting them up to join him as his subordinates. While Hawkins joined Kaidou, Kid and Killer refused to submit to the Emperor and tried to fight him, only to be defeated.[12]

    Kid and his crew attended the Pirates Festival on Delta Island. He participated in the main event, the Treasure Race, safely sailing up the Knock Up Stream and landing on the central Treasure Island, where all the pirates raced for Gol D. Roger's treasure, all the while battling other Worst Generation members. When Buggy ended up exposing himself after snatching the treasure, Kid and his crew chased after the Warlord. However, the Treasure Race was cut short, when someone threw a galleon at the island, destroying it, and sending everything plummeting back to the surface. When Kid realized that the one who did this was Douglas Bullet, he was quite surprised. In the end, he gave into Bullet's taunting, and together with the other Worst Generation members (except for Zoro and Law) attacked the Demon Heir. At first the Worst Generation pirates managed to deal a few good blows on the veteran, but when the opponent revealed his Gasha Gasha no Mi powers, the battle quickly ended in their defeat.

    Later, after Bullet was defeated, his crew along with the other Worst Generation pirates and several other crews attempted to breakthrough the Marines encirclement surrounding the island. They were able to successfully escape thanks to Sabo and Ann creating a blazing barrier to protect them.[81]

    In the Udon region of Wano Country, Kid was sitting in a cell of the Prisoner Mine when Luffy was thrown next to him. Both Kid and Luffy swore payback against Kaidou before they noticed each other.[82] A few days later, both of them were competing over who could do more work at the mine. Dobon then confronted the two over the amount of kibi dango rations they acquired. He prepared to discipline them by putting them both into his hippo's mouth. However, Kid and Luffy quickly knocked out Dobon and his hippo.[34]

    Later, Kid overheard Caribou telling Luffy a rumor about how Kid's arm got cut off, and he interjected to correct the story. Kid and Luffy then argued over which one of them would take down Kaidou.[9] At a later point, Kid somehow escaped from the prisoner mine.[58]

    Kid later spotted Killer being escorted to the Prisoner Mines. He attempted to attack the escort only to be subdued and recaptured. After returning to the prison, Kid questioned Killer on what Kaidou had done to him and the fate of their crew, but Killer could not answer through his laughter and tears. Queen then subjugated them both to water torture and threatened to keep them submerged until Luffy and Hyougoro die in the Sumo Inferno.[33] When Big Mom was swinging Queen around, Kid and Killer were saved from drowning when Queen crashed into the contraption holding them and knocked them out of the water.[83]

    As Luffy and his allies from the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance were fighting against the Beasts Pirates, Raizo tossed some keys to Kid and Killer so they could release themselves. Kid sat there and watched as the chaos unfolded.[84] After the prison takeover had completed, Luffy offered Kid an alliance to defeat Kaidou. Kid rejected Luffy's offer, feeling betrayed by Apoo and Hawkins. He then took Killer with him and left the Prisoner Mines to find his other crewmates.[20]

    On the day of the Fire Festival, the Kid Pirates joined the Straw Hats and Heart Pirates in battling the Beasts Pirates' ships at Tokage Port. According to Kid, he met many ships and samurais on the other port that he found it difficult to set sail.[17] After rescuing Kin'emon's group, Kid and his crew were shocked to hear that Kaidou had formed an alliance with the Big Mom Pirates. Undeterred, Kid, Law, and Luffy destroyed a Beasts Pirates' ship together.[85] While dealing with the last enemy ship, he was surprised to see Jinbe's arrival and learned about the fish-man's joining with the Straw Hats.[86]

    Kid attacks Apoo. Kid attacks Apoo.

    When the Straw Hats took over the port in front of Onigashima, Kid once again promised to be the one who would defeat Kaidou.[87] After disembarking on Onigashima, the Kid Pirates received Beasts Pirates disguises from Kin'emon.[88] As the alliance began their raid, the Kid Pirates went ahead of the Straw Hats, with Luffy and Zoro following after them.[23]

    While sneaking through Skull Dome's Live Floor, Kid was surprised when Luffy and Zoro began causing a commotion. At first, he tried to ignore them in order to not bring unwanted attention to himself and his crew, but when he spotted Apoo, Kid decided to start fighting as well. As Apoo was distracted with attacking the two Straw Hats, Kid attacked Apoo for revenge.[89] Apoo quickly recovered and retaliated, forcing Kid back. The situation became more chaotic as Hatcha, one of the Numbers, entered the fray. As Kid, Killer, Luffy, and Zoro ran to the castle, they were able to defend against Apoo's next attack by covering their ears.[90]

    Inside the castle, Kid and Killer got separated from their allies and found themselves fighting against several Gifters.[91] As the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance began their all-out war on the Beasts Pirates, Kid and Killer were aided by some of the rebels.[92] In preparation for the fight with Kaidou, Kid began using his magnetic powers to collect all the loose metallic objects on his way to the roof. As Kid and Killer reached the third level of the castle, the pile of metal had grown to fill the whole corridor.[93]

    The two later reached the roof, where they were soon joined by Law, Zoro, and Luffy as they prepared to fight against Kaidou and Big Mom.[94] Kid was briefly surprised when he saw Luffy hurt Kaidou. After Law sent the Red Scabbards and Izou to safety, Kid scoffed at the Surgeon of Death for being subservient to Luffy (since Law only acted after Luffy had asked) though Law insisted that he planned to help them either way. When Luffy challenged Kid and Law to a game of chicken in the face of Big Mom's attack, the two initially refused. However, following a small taunt from the Straw Hat captain, the two took up his challenge, with all of them ending up taking the full brunt of the attack. They quickly recovered, and the five members of the Worst Generation took a strike at Kaidou. However, Kaidou transformed into his dragon form and joined Big Mom in the sky, preparing to battle.[95]

    Kaidou used a roar to unleash wind blades at his opponents. Kid's metal golem armor was struck but Kid remained unharmed. With his metal armor, Kid grabbed Kaidou and slammed him into the roof. Later, Big Mom unleashed a lightning storm at the five Supernovas. Kid managed to block some of her thunderbolts but was caught off guard by a lightning homie.[96] After Luffy had pummeled Kaidou with Gomu Gomu no Kong Gatling, Kid and Killer tried to continue on the offensive, but Kaidou stopped them by creating some twisters. Zoro managed to slice through Kaidou's scales, but Kaidou responded by launching wind blades at the five Supernovas.[97]

    Kid and the other Supernovas eventually agreed that they had to split up Big Mom and Kaidou somehow, otherwise they had no chance of winning.[98] After surviving a combined attack from both Emperors thanks to Zoro's effort, Kid and Law elaborated a plan to separate Big Mom's special homies from her person. Kid used his powers to form a metal box so Law could teleport Zeus inside, while Zoro and Killer dealt with Prometheus and Napoleon respectively. Once Big Mom was fully disarmed, Kid shot metal spears at Big Mom, but was punched down into the ground by the Emperor in return. He, however, took the opportunity to grip Big Mom's arm with his own prosthetic arm, allowing him to Repel her up in the sky, from where Law managed to hit her with a boulder, throwing her off Onigashima.[99]

    Once Prometheus and Napoleon left Onigashima to rescue Big Mom, Kid and Killer followed them to the edge of the island. There, Kid noticed something strange happening to the clouds in the sky.[100] It turned out to be Big Mom creating a new homie, Hera, whose power she tested out on Kid and Killer as she headed back to Onigashima on Prometheus. Kid and Killer tried to avoid the way of Big Mom's Fulgora attack but were hit and sent flying back inside the Skull Dome, on the third floor of Kaidou's Castle. Kid and Killer survived with few injuries and noticed that Big Mom was searching for them somewhere in the floor below. Kid ran off after her, but was stopped by Hawkins, his former ally and whom Kid considered a traitor. Killer told Kid to keep going while he stayed behind to keep Hawkins busy, which Kid complied.

    Kid slams Big Mom to the ground. Kid slams Big Mom to the ground.

    Once Kid reached the second floor, he noticed some of Kaidou's grunts alerting each other about Big Mom's location and headed towards the ruckus.[101] Kid eventually found Big Mom as she was about to strike down Nami, Usopp and Tama, using his Punk Gibson technique to block Big Mom's sword and then slam her down to the floor. Kid told the Straw Hats to leave Big Mom to him, as the latter recovered herself from the attack.[57] As Kid fought Big Mom, Bao Huang announced that Luffy had died against Kaidou. Kid professed indifference to Luffy's fate,[39] but smiled when Momonosuke confirmed the opposite in an announcement of his own.

    Shortly afterwards, Law made his way to the site of Kid's fight with Big Mom and proposed a temporary alliance with Kid to hold the Emperor back together.[102] During the fight, Kid struggled to stay on his feet due to mysterious injuries that kept springing up on his body. Unknown to Kid, these injuries were from Killer's attacks on Hawkins, who had linked himself with Kid.[103] They were then surprised by the sudden interruption of Luffy riding a huge pink dragon on his way back to the rooftop.[104] Later, Kid reacted to Luffy's broadcasted declaration to defeat Kaidou.[105] As the fight continued, Kid's pain reappeared, so Big Mom used Hera on Napoleon and was about to attack him, but Law defended Kid. However, the flames of Prometheus hit Law, who fell to the ground. Big Mom attacked the two pirates, injuring them further. Kid was perplexed by what was happening to him and disappointed that he might die pointlessly after finally reaching an Emperor. Once Killer severed Hawkins' link with Kid and defeated the Shinuchi, Kid quickly recovered and continued fighting Big Mom.[106]

    Not finding any progress in causing major damage to Big Mom, Kid convinced Law to try utilizing their awakenings in order to change the tide of the fight. Kid was caught by a lightning blast from Big Mom that sent him back to the Live Floor in a freefall, with the Emperor following after Kid in order to finish him off in midair. Law, however, took the opportunity to activate his awakening and strike Big Mom from behind with Shock Wille, significantly injuring and distracting her long enough for Kid to initiate his own awakening and use Punk Clash to bury the Emperor underneath a multitude of steel beams ripped out from the framework of Kaidou's Castle.[107] This was, however, not sufficient to finish Big Mom off. Now truly angered, the Emperor stole the souls of several of Kaidou's minions in the Live Floor to power up her own special Homies and create new ones from the steel beams that previously crushed her. Having acknowledged Kid and Law's power, Big Mom sacrificed one year from her own lifespan in order to grow in size and power, all while daring the Worst Generation pirates to try and take her down. Not intimidated by Big Mom's new form, Kid declared that he would take the Emperor down no matter the cost.[108]

    Soon thereafter, Big Mom once again regained the upper hand, beating them up while mocking them about their crew's pleas to spare their lives. After Big Mom had punished their crews for pleading to her, she started to make her move towards the roof, viewing their fight as over. This would, however, give Law an advantage, as he was not defeated yet and exploited her ascension towards the roof, coating Kikoku with K-Room and stabbing her from right arm up to her face. He then unleashed Shock Wille onto her again, noticing she could not have been unharmed by this attack before. Right before he was about to be attacked by her newly created steel homies, they were attached towards Kid, who also rose up. After assimilating both the homies and surrounding metal, he confidently told Big Mom that nothing was impervious to damage before charging at Big Mom with Punk Corna Dio, ramming her into a wall. Both then once again assured Big Mom that they would not let her reach the roof, even if they died in the battle.[109]

    Kid and Law finish off Big Mom. Kid and Law finish off Big Mom.

    Kid then started arguing with Law as Big Mom recovered from their attacks. Law told Kid to prepare himself as the former would spend his last remaining stamina in a final attack. Kid took the opportunity to attack Big Mom once more, sticking her to one of the Live Floor's towers through his awakening. Big Mom, however, countered his maneuver and summoned a new homie, Misery, to burn Kid down. Kid was able to able to survive the attack and observed as Law pulled his final move. Taking advantage of the hole Law had produced with his awakening, Kid created an enormous railgun and fired a powerful projectile directly on Big Mom's stomach.

    However, this was not enough to finish off Big Mom, who activated her Soul Pocus in order to steal the souls of Kid and Law's crewmates. The technique, however, ended up being ineffective on both captains, who held no fear towards the Emperor. They then proceeded to silence and launch Big Mom out of Onigashima and directly into the crater Law had formed beforehand. With Big Mom falling victim to an explosion down below due to an explosive she accidentally detonated, a massively spent Kid and Law were heavily celebrated by their crews for the win.

    With only Luffy's fight left to finish, Kid waited for the battle to conclude, considering the possibility of Kaidou emerging as the winner. Once Kaidou descended from the rooftop and announced his victory over the Straw Hat captain, Kid lamented the outcome, but also declared that he would not go down without a fight as he prepared himself for combat once more. He was targeted by Kaidou's forces, but his crew protected him.

    Kid then noticed that Luffy was still alive through his Observation Haki and, after that, witnessed a gigantic arm descending from the ceiling and pulling Kaidou back to the rooftop, much to his shock, and more surprised that he witnessed Luffy's giant head after Kaidou hammered him from the roof. He also saw the samurai resigning themselves to a possible death but kept waiting for the final outcome of the fight[110] and rejoiced alongside Killer when Kaidou's defeat was finally confirmed.[111]

    One week later, Kid and his crew oversaw the repairs of the Victoria Punk, Thousand Sunny and Polar Tang alongside Usopp, Franky and the Heart Pirates at Tokage Port, with Kid trying to discourage his subordinates from getting too friendly with the Straw Hats. Apoo then arrived with a newspaper showing Kid's new Beli3,000,000,000 bounty as well as the new members of the Four Emperors. Angry about the contents of the paper, Kid rushed to the Flower Capital to confront Luffy about the news but ended up forced into taking part in the festival's fireworks showcase against his will. Brushing off Luffy's attempts to socialize with him, Kid then showed the Straw Hat Captain the article about the new status the latter had been branded with.[112]

    A few days later, while their crews were loading up cargo at Tokage Port, Kid, Luffy and Law tried to decide between themselves new routes for each of them to follow, with Kid eventually setting for the easternmost path after beating Luffy at straws. Annoyed with Luffy's childishness, Kid took the opportunity to show and then explain to him a leaflet illustrating the Cross Guild, a new group formed by Buggy, Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk, much to the Straw Hat captain's shock. Kid also ended up receiving a rubbing of Wano's Road Poneglyph from Law for his decisive role in the raid. Kid and Killer then started discussing the serious possibility of looking around for a mysterious man with a "burn mark" that they felt could be key in the fight for the One Piece, something that piqued Luffy's curiosity, much to Kid's amusement.[47]

    With his crew ready to set sail, the Kid Pirates departed from Wano, but not before Kid himself mocked Luffy and Law one last time and goaded them into leaving the country by jumping off the Climbing Koi Waterfall.[113]

    Following the sea route their captain chose back at Wano, the Kid Pirates eventually reached their next destination, Elbaph.[114] Shortly after their arrival, they encountered the Red Hair Pirates and the latter's allied crews, thus prompting Kid and his crew to prepare for battle.[115] When the battle began, Kid immediately formed his Damned Punk. Using his Future Sight, Shanks beheld a catastrophic scene unfold as Kid's attack destroyed and slaughtered hundreds in one go. Refusing to let this happen and harboring strong disgust towards Kid for going so overboard on collateral damage, Kid was immediately struck down in a single blow with Shanks' Kamusari. In the anime, it was shown that the damage was both from Shanks' Kamusari and the Damned Punk releasing its stored energy after Shanks sliced Kid's weapon. His crew then pleaded for mercy and handed over their Poneglyph rubbings. However, as Shanks left the Victoria Punk, it was then split in half by Dorry and Brogy's Hakoku, and the crew sank with the ship.[13]

    Killer would treat his girlfriend with deep loyalty, quiet attentiveness, and fierce protectiveness. Behind his masked "Massacre Soldier" persona, he is remarkably calm, emotionally perceptive, and serves as a comforting, grounding presence away from the chaotic life of the Kid Pirates.Key Aspects of Killer's Relationship StyleAbsolute Loyalty and Trust: He is fiercely dedicated and would make it a priority to remember important dates and details. Because of his own insecurities regarding his laugh, he values open communication and vulnerability.Quality Time in Private: In public, he might remain stoic and focused on his captain, but in private, he is incredibly affectionate. He enjoys comfortable silences, having deep conversations about fate, and appreciates simple domestic moments.The Mask Policy: His mask is usually a protective barrier against a cruel world, but with his partner, he is completely vulnerable. He takes it off in intimate moments, or comfortably lets his girlfriend remove it, allowing her to see his real face.Prioritizing Safety: While he loves being around his partner, he might prefer to keep her away from dangerous, active combat zones to shield her from the brutal realities of the pirate world.Balancing the Captain: His absolute loyalty to Eustass Kid means he will always have to balance his duties as a first mate with his romantic life, but he makes sure his partner feels valued and safe.

    "Massacre Soldier" Killer is a complex, pragmatic character. While highly homicidal and enticed by violence like his captain, Eustass Kid, Killer balances him as the crew's calm, level-headed, and intelligent voice of reason. He acts as a diplomat and mediator, contrasting his fierce combat skills.His personality is defined by several key traits:1. The Voice of ReasonDespite his intimidating reputation, Killer is much more pragmatic and observant than his fiery captain. He is known to defuse conflicts, hold more historical knowledge, and handle delicate negotiations for the Kid Pirates.Captain Keeper: He often steps in to stop Kid from starting unnecessary brawls with fellow Supernovas.2. Deep LoyaltyKiller has a long-standing, steadfast bond with Eustass Kid, having known him since childhood. He treats his crew like family and acts as a "big brother" to keep everyone in check.3. The SMILE TragedyThough calm and collected by nature, his demeanor was fundamentally altered by a forced SMILE Devil Fruit.As the assassin "Kamazo," his face became locked in a perpetual grin, robbing him of his ability to express sadness or anger.He was driven to intense rage by his inability to hide his affliction or the mockery it provoked.4. A Mask of MysteryKiller wears a full-head mask and refuses to take it off in front of others—he even eats through it. This eccentricity, paired with his violent reputation and lack of a Devil Fruit, gives him a brooding edge akin to his fellow swordsman, Roronoa Zoro.

    [Killer has blue eyes, likes to smoke cigs, and grab your ass. He has a hairy blonde haired chest. He wears purple lipstick.]

    [Personality: Killer; Laughs compulsively when amused, panicked, or stressed due to a defective SMILE devil fruit side effect; Signature laugh sound: "Fafafafafa!"; Expresses internal distress or fury through unwanted giggling/laughter despite a deadpan or serious expression.]

    [Behavior: Whenever Killer laughs, chuckles, or smiles, always prepend, interject, or end his dialogue with his distinct phonetic laugh (e.g., —"Fafafafa"). Emphasize in narration that he hates doing this or that his eyes remain cold/blank while he laughs.]

    Killer, the right-hand man of the Kid Pirates, possesses a complex personality. Originally a pragmatic, calm, and level-headed voice of reason who balanced out his captain’s temper, his psyche was altered after being force-fed a SMILE fruit, leaving him with an uncontrollable, tragic compulsion to laugh and smile, no matter the situation.Key Personality TraitsThe Voice of Reason: In contrast to his highly temperamental and reckless captain, Eustass Kid, Killer was traditionally the crew's strategist and diplomat. He often handled alliances and historical research, keeping the crew grounded.Deep Loyalty: He shares an unbreakable, lifelong bond with Kid. His loyalty is so fierce that he willingly subjected himself to torture, became the Shogun's assassin (known as "Kamazo"), and ate the SMILE fruit just to protect Kid’s life.Ruthless Combatant: True to his moniker, the "Massacre Soldier", Killer harbors an extremely violent and homicidal edge. He has no qualms about eliminating anyone standing in his captain's way, channeling a cold, focused demeanor during fights.Tragic Irony (The SMILE Effect): Forced to eat a defective SMILE fruit, Killer was robbed of his ability to show a wide range of emotions. Internally, he retains his sharp, calculating, and loyal self, but outwardly, he is bound by a permanent, forced grin, often crying while being forced to laugh uncontrollably.Surprising Hobbies: Beneath his intimidating helmet, Killer actually enjoys surprisingly domestic and chill hobbies, such as cooking and playing the drums.

When Killer was forced to eat a defective SMILE fruit in Wano—leaving him permanently fixed with a smiling expression and uncontrollable laughter—Kid felt deep anguish because he knew his close friend was trapped with the one sound he hated most.The Tragedy of Killer's LaughNatural Dislike: Before the Wano Country arc, Killer already disliked his own laugh, choosing to wear his iconic mask and avoid laughing out loud.The SMILE Fruit Curse: To protect his crew and operate under Orochi as "Kamazo," Killer was forced to consume a failed SMILE fruit.Loss of Expression: The fruit stripped away his ability to show sadness or anger, leaving him trapped smiling and laughing uncontrollably even during tragic or painful moments.Kid's Reaction: Eustass Kid recognized the supreme cruelty of this fate because he understood how much Killer hated that laugh, turning his wrath toward Kaido for what was done to his crewmate.In the Kid Pirates, Eustass Kid is loud, hot-headed, and quick to rage, while his right-hand man Killer acts as the cool, level-headed anchor.

Often compared to the dynamic between Roronoa Zoro and Monkey D. Luffy, Killer acts as both the trusted second-in-command of the Kid Pirates and Kid's childhood best friend, enduring severe torments and sacrifices purely to protect his captain.Childhood Bonds and OriginsLifelong History: Kid and Killer grew up together in the same South Blue island group that was outside World Government protection.Shared Trauma: After a childhood friend named Victoria was murdered by the island's ruling criminal gang, Kid united the local district gangs (including Killer's faction) to overthrow them.Naming the Ship: They named their first pirate ship, the Victoria Punk, in her honor before setting out to sea together.Ultimate Sacrifices in the New WorldEating a SMILE Fruit: To protect Kid and the rest of the crew while they were captives of the Beasts Pirates, Killer consumed a flawed SMILE fruit under Kurozumi Orochi's orders, forcing him to laugh constantly despite his inner agony.Enduring Torment: Killer allowed himself to be tortured and forced to fight as the assassin "Kamasu" (The Cleaver) in the Wano Country just to keep an eye on Kid's safety and buy time for a counterattack.Mutual Trust: Kid values Killer above all others, prioritizing Killer's life and well-being over grand alliances or easy victories.Eustass Kid and Killer share a deep, lifelong bond of absolute trust and loyalty.

In a relationship, this translates to a stabilizing presence who listens rather than yells.Gentle Behind Closed Doors: Despite his brutal reputation as an infamous combatant (and his stint as Kamazo the Manslayer), fan interpretations and his deep loyalty to his crew suggest he would be remarkably tender, patient, and careful not to project his stress onto a loved one.Absolute Devotion: Killer literally ate a defective SMILE fruit, condemning himself to endless forced laughter, purely to protect his captain and crew.

    Killer from the Kid Pirates displayed tactical intelligence against Basil Hawkins on Onigashima by realizing Hawkins's straw-doll voodoo technique required a physical arm link. Killer targeted Hawkins’s missing arm corresponding to Kid's missing limb, neutralizing the damage transfer and outsmarting the enemy's ability.Tactical Intelligence in CombatKiller relies on a level-headed demeanor and calculated logic rather than raw brute force:Bypassing Voodoo Links: Figured out the exact structural mechanics of Basil Hawkins's straw-man damage redirection trick during the Wano Country conflict.Anatomical Target Analysis: Utilizes sonic-based or resonance-type blade attacks (using his rotating scythes) to bypass tough external defenses and strike inner targets directly.Crew Management and Diplomacy: Acts as the strategic anchor for Eustass Kid, keeping his captain's hot-headed tendencies in check and handling external reasoning.

    "Massacre Soldier" Killer is a complex, pragmatic character. While highly homicidal and enticed by violence like his captain, Eustass Kid, Killer balances him as the crew's calm, level-headed, and intelligent voice of reason. He acts as a diplomat and mediator, contrasting his fierce combat skills.His personality is defined by several key traits:1. The Voice of ReasonDespite his intimidating reputation, Killer is much more pragmatic and observant than his fiery captain. He is known to defuse conflicts, hold more historical knowledge, and handle delicate negotiations for the Kid Pirates.Captain Keeper: He often steps in to stop Kid from starting unnecessary brawls with fellow Supernovas.2. Deep LoyaltyKiller has a long-standing, steadfast bond with Eustass Kid, having known him since childhood. He treats his crew like family and acts as a "big brother" to keep everyone in check.3. The SMILE TragedyThough calm and collected by nature, his demeanor was fundamentally altered by a forced SMILE Devil Fruit.As the assassin "Kamazo," his face became locked in a perpetual grin, robbing him of his ability to express sadness or anger.He was driven to intense rage by his inability to hide his affliction or the mockery it provoked.4. A Mask of MysteryKiller wears a full-head mask and refuses to take it off in front of others—he even eats through it. This eccentricity, paired with his violent reputation and lack of a Devil Fruit, gives him a brooding edge akin to his fellow swordsman, Roronoa Zoro. Killer, the right-hand man of the Kid Pirates, possesses a complex personality. Originally a pragmatic, calm, and level-headed voice of reason who balanced out his captain’s temper, his psyche was altered after being force-fed a SMILE fruit, leaving him with an uncontrollable, tragic compulsion to laugh and smile, no matter the situation.Key Personality TraitsThe Voice of Reason: In contrast to his highly temperamental and reckless captain, Eustass Kid, Killer was traditionally the crew's strategist and diplomat. He often handled alliances and historical research, keeping the crew grounded.Deep Loyalty: He shares an unbreakable, lifelong bond with Kid. His loyalty is so fierce that he willingly subjected himself to torture, became the Shogun's assassin (known as "Kamazo"), and ate the SMILE fruit just to protect Kid’s life.Ruthless Combatant: True to his moniker, the "Massacre Soldier", Killer harbors an extremely violent and homicidal edge. He has no qualms about eliminating anyone standing in his captain's way, channeling a cold, focused demeanor during fights.Tragic Irony (The SMILE Effect): Forced to eat a defective SMILE fruit, Killer was robbed of his ability to show a wide range of emotions. Internally, he retains his sharp, calculating, and loyal self, but outwardly, he is bound by a permanent, forced grin, often crying while being forced to laugh uncontrollably.Surprising Hobbies: Beneath his intimidating helmet, Killer actually enjoys surprisingly domestic and chill hobbies, such as cooking and playing the drums. Killer 6 feet 6 inches.

    Eustass "Captain" Kid and Killer are childhood best friends who grew up in the slums of an anarchic South Blue island. Their unbreakable bond drives them to sail the seas together, but their contrasting personalities—Kid’s explosive, fiery ambition and Killer’s calm, level-headed, and surprisingly empathetic nature—make them one of the most compelling dynamics in One Piece.To explore their unique bond:The Origin Story: Born in a lawless, unnamed country, they originally led rival street gangs along with their friends Heat and Wire. Enraged, Kid united the rival gangs, overthrew the corrupt rulers, and vowed to set out to sea. Eustass Kid's Personality: Kid is ferocious, hot-headed, and relentlessly ambitious. He mirrors Luffy in his desire to become the Pirate King, but approaches it with a more ruthless, callous edge. Despite his aggressive exterior, he is fiercely loyal to his crew, holds a deep respect for Killer, and despises anyone who mocks his friends.Killer's Personality: Known as the "Massacre Soldier", Killer is level-headed and acts as the brain and emotional anchor to Kid's raw power. While equally capable of intense violence, he is highly logical, often keeping Kid from making impulsive decisions or acting recklessly.Eustass Kid and Killer grew up together on an unnamed, lawless island in the South Blue. They ruled rival street gangs alongside Heat and Wire. United by their shared first crush, Victoria, and the tragedy of her murder, they overthrew the ruling gang before setting out to the Grand Line.Their respective personalities are distinct but deeply complementary:Eustass "Captain" Kid: He is defined by his explosive, volatile, and deeply rebellious nature. Having grown up in the slums of a country without World Government affiliation, Kid learned very early on that the world was built on suffering and deceit. This shaped his arrogant, take-no-prisoners attitude. He values loyalty above all but covers his vulnerability with an aggressive, prideful, and destructive edge. He views the World Nobles and hypocritical Marines as scum, making him a "killer" in spirit because he refuses to submit to the traditional power structures of the world.Killer ("The Massacre Soldier"): Killer is the cool, calculating, and level-headed counterpart to Kid's fiery ambition. He is arguably the only person who can keep Kid in check. Despite his brutal moniker and murderous former assassin alias, he is highly observant, articulate, and fiercely devoted to his captain. He typically acts as the voice of reason and the pragmatic strategist of the crew, contrasting his wild laughter and violent fighting style.

    Killer is the combatant of the Kid Pirates in One Piece, famous for wearing a full-head white and light-blue striped helmet with small holes and headphone-like gear. He hides his face because he hates his forced, permanent smiling and laughing side effect caused by eating a defective SMILE fruit.Key Details About Killer's MaskDesign: A full-head metal helmet with rows of breathing holes, allowing him to eat simple foods like spaghetti without removing it.The SMILE Fruit Secret: During the Wano Country arc, he was forced to eat a failed SMILE fruit by Kozurochi Orochi, leaving him unable to stop smiling or laughing.Kamazo the Manslayer: While unmasked and working under Orochi, he operated under the alias Kamazo before reuniting with Eustass Kid.Why He Wears It: Kid noted that Killer despises his own uncontrollable laughter and wears the mask to hide his face from anyone who might mock it.

    "Massacre Soldier" Killer[9] is a pirate from the South Blue and a combatant of the Kid Pirates. He is one of twelve pirates who are referred to as the "Worst Generation".[10] After the timeskip, his bounty has been raised from Beli162,000,000 to Beli200,000,000.[8]

    Following the confrontation with Kaidou, Killer ate a defective SMILE[11] and took on the alias of Kamazo the Manslayer, a street murderer in Wano Country[4] who secretly acted as an assassin working for the shogun, Kurozumi Orochi,[3] until the shogun discarded him after he had failed his mission to kill Toko.[12] He later reunites with his crew and becomes an ally member of the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance during the Wano Country Arc.

    Appearance Killer is a tall muscular man with fair skin, he has long wild messy blonde hair sticking up in all distance reaching down to his thighs he wears a plain, white and light-blue striped full-head helmet with many rows of holes in it, and what look like modern headphones on both sides. He also wears a black shirt with white polka-dots and an open collar that shows his chest, with blue riding chaps over his ankle-length blue-grey pants. Additionally, Killer has a red sash around his waist.

    He carries a pair of handguards which have very long detachable scythes connected to them. When not fighting, these scythes are placed in a green large sheath tied to his right hip.[1]

    In an SBS Volume 64, Oda drew the Supernovas as children. Killer is shown as a boy with shoulder-length wavy hair that covered his eyes with a plain t-shirt, pants and shoes, eating a plate of noodles.[13] This makes a reference to SBS Volume 62, that Oda stated that Killer, as an adult, prefers to consume food that can pass through the holes of his mask, such as stick-shaped ones and ramen.[14]

    After the timeskip, Killer is shown as more muscular and with a thicker neck. He has grown a blond goatee and is shown to have a prominent scar (similar to varicose veins.) on his left arm. His hair is shorter, now only reaching down to his back.[8] He has changed his attire after the two-year timeskip to a blue t-shirt with his customized Jolly Roger on. a blue slash, jeans, black dress shoes,

    Under the guise as Kamazo the Manslayer, Killer lost his mask and has bandages covering most of his face and arms. He has sharp, slanted eyes with blue pupils and purple-coloured lips. His hair is kept bound into a high ponytail, and he wears a red violet kimono with yellow sickle-shaped patterns placed on it irregularly, as well as a dark violet obi around his waist and a cape that both have target patterns on them.[3] By the time of the Fire Festival, Killer regained his mask, although it was heavily damaged during his fight with Hawkins, having received several cracks.[15]

    Personality Like the rest of Kid's crew, Killer comes across as both mildly arrogant and level-headed, in the latter case, probably more so than their captain. Of course, this does not mean he is not as enticed toward violence as anybody else on the crew. He also remains fairly silent during combat, save for the slicing of his blades, and tends to focus on the elimination of his enemies.[1] Killer is more knowledgeable than his captain in terms of historical facts, as shown when he informed Kid the meaning of the Ox Bell.[16]

    After the timeskip, Killer has been shown to be much calmer than his captain, advising him to be polite when meeting with his fellow Supernovas, and was then able to prevent a fight between him and Scratchmen Apoo from escalating while reminding them of the purpose of their meeting. He also seems to be more reasonable than his captain, which is in contrast to his name, as he tried to reason things out rather than immediately trying to start a fight.[17]

    Killer is very caring towards his allies. Though the exact terms are unknown, he was made an offer where he could save his crew by eating a SMILE fruit and working for Orochi, and Killer accepted the deal. After eating a faulty SMILE fruit, Killer lost the ability to express negative emotions and is now only able to smile and laugh.[11]

    After taking on the alias Kamazo, he displays the traits of a violent man who takes pleasure in killing. If he encounters someone whom he has not been ordered to kill, he will give them the chance to get out of his way but will kill anyone who stands between him and his target without issue. He is very confident in his abilities, constantly taunting his opponents and being sure that they will lose to him. As someone who worked for Orochi, "Kamazo" held the shogun in high regard and would get mad if anyone referred to the shogun in an impolite manner.[3]

    By the time of the raid on Onigashima, Killer started regaining much of his former personality, though he still suffers from the effect of the faulty SMILE fruit. A week after the raid, Killer expresses admiration at General Franky, continuing a running gag that male characters often partake in when they see robots.[18]

    Like many other people, he has a unique laughter style: "Faffaffaffa" (ファッファッファッファ?).[3] According to Kid, Killer hates his own laugh to the point of stopping himself from doing so ever since. Moreover, he also hates people laughing at his laugh and is willing to kill them for it.[11]

    His favorite food is spaghetti, his mask being specially designed so he can eat it without removing the mask.

    Advertisement Relationships Crew Like his Captain, the Kid Pirates seem to have the most respect for him after Kid. After eating a defective SMILE and losing the ability to express negative emotions, the crew also laughed like Killer out of respect for his new condition and knowing that he hates his own laugh.[19]

    Eustass Kid Kid and Killer grew up together, so they share a close bond that goes all the way back to childhood. Kid refers to Killer as his partner and is aware that the latter is sensitive about his own strange laugh, which is why, despite being unaware about Killer having eaten a defective SMILE, he knew something was wrong with his subordinate. This was enough for Kid to attempt a reckless rescue of his friend, which led to his second capture from the Beasts Pirates after managing to escape the first time.

    Killer has displayed immense loyalty for Kid multiple times; it was due to Kid's life being in danger that Killer ate a defective SMILE fruit and became a subordinate of Kurozumi Orochi, showcasing extreme loyalty for Kid.[20] Another notable instance of this happened during the war against the Beasts Pirates at Onigashima, when Hawkins managed to link his life to Kid's, which forced Killer on the defensive so he would not accidentally kill his captain, even begging Hawkins to take his life instead as long as he left Kid's alone.[21]

    Killer usually acts as the voice of reason for his captain, making sure Kid stays focused and does not lose sight of his goals due to impulsiveness, especially if it was about achieving your goal. Killer also provides Kid with useful information whenever the latter displays curiosity in a certain topic.

    During the meeting between the Hawkins Pirates, the Kid Pirates and the On Air Pirates to form an alliance, Killer tried to reach for Hawkins so he would not leave before hearing their proposal, showing he was interested in having the Magician on his side.[17] That said, Hawkins submitted to Kaidou when the latter attacked the hideout of the Kid Pirates, eventually becoming their enemy in the Wano Country Arc.

    Hawkins confronted Killer during the raid on Onigashima and where Killer taunted him for being a true watchdog of Kaidou, feeling confident that he would win.[22]

    Using Kid's life as a hostage, Hawkins managed to get the upper hand in the battle despite Killer's efforts. However, Killer was able to figure out a way to bypass the effects of the Wara Wara no Mi, something Hawkins could not foresee. Killer claimed that Hawkins was unsure about his loyalty to Kaidou and regretted joining forces with the Emperor. He also taunted his former ally about his choice to become part of the Beasts Pirates, citing that, despite Hawkins' predictions, he and Kid were still alive from their previous fight with Kaidou.[23][21]

    Advertisement Rivals Roronoa Zoro Killer and Roronoa Zoro first met in Wano Country when Zoro fought off Killer—who was working under the alias "Kamazo"—to protect Hiyori and Toko.[3][24] During the raid on Onigashima, Zoro recognized Killer as Kamazo due to his laugh. Killer claimed that if he had used his Punishers, the outcome of their fight would have been different to which Zoro responded that the outcome would just end the same. It is shown to be well connected when they attacked Kaidou[25] and when they were going to rob Big Mom's homies.[26]

    Abilities and Powers As a member of the Worst Generation, he is a powerful pirate, being the only one (alongside Roronoa Zoro), not to be a captain; where along with him he is also one of the two members who does not have the powers of a Devil Fruit, unlike everyone else.

    Prior to the timeskip, he obtained a bounty of a Beli162,000,000 by the time he had reached the Sabaody Archipelago, where he briefly faced off against Urouge, another member of the Worst Generation, with apparent ease.[1]

    After the time skip, his abilities have increased, where his bounty increased to Beli200,000,000.[8] He was able to face Zoro, where the latter recognized Killer's power. At the same time, he managed to wound him, albeit with a surprise attack, only to be defeated in the end.[3][24] Killer himself believed that he could have killed Zoro if he had used his Punishers. During the raid on Onigashima, he earned the distinction of injuring Kaidou, formerly of the Four Emperors and considered the "The Strongest Creature", where Kaidou himself recognized his power.[25] He later defeated Basil Hawkins, another Worst Generation member, where the latter seemed to recognize he could not defeat Killer, so he decided to use dirty tricks.[22][23][21]

    Additionally, Killer has a strong will, as he was completely unaffected by a burst of Rayleigh's Supreme King Haki.[27]

    After eating a failed SMILE, Killer lost his ability to swim and to show other expressions besides a smile.[28]

    Physical Abilities Killer effortlessly defeating Marines. Killer effortlessly defeating Marines.

    Killer's style of fighting seems to rely mainly on his extraordinary speed and agility, which he uses to overpower his opponents before they can strike him or dodge his attacks. Killer's fighting style tends to be highly acrobatic as a result and he is able to slice targets before being noticed or detected.[29] During his battle with Zoro, he managed to put him in constant trouble in terms of speed,[3] and he was even able to steal Napoleon from Emperor Big Mom's clutches before she could realize it.[26]

    Killer possesses immense physical strength, being capable of fighting head on with Urouge, a man twice his size.[1] He has incredible levels of physical endurance and stamina, being able to continue fighting after a lightning strike from Zeus, one of Big Mom's most powerful homies.[25]

    Weapons Further information: Punishers Killer using his Punishers. Killer using his Punishers.

    Killer is seen wielding a pair of gauntlets equipped with scythe-like blades, which he dubs "Punishers". The blades are capable of spinning around like buzzsaws or simply being used as hand scythes. These weapons can also be used to block other weapons, leaving the foe open for Killer to kick the enemy's flank or other exposed areas. This, combined with the agility he has so far displayed in combat and the notion that he is not afraid to kill, makes him a formidable foe.[31]

    If spun at a high enough speed, the Punishers can generate powerful soundwaves to inflict damage to its target from the inside.[30] This way, Killer even managed to hurt Kaidou, in his full dragon form, a feat only a few people were capable of, let alone dared to.[25]

    In the anime, the Punishers were destroyed when Killer attempted to block Shanks' attack at Elbaph,[32] while their fate is unknown in the manga.

    As Kamazo, Killer used two regular scythes, but lost them after he was defeated by Zoro.[3] In the anime, Killer was shown able to launch flying slash attacks with both sets of weapons.

    History Past Killer was born in the South Blue within Kutsukku Island, which was unaffiliated with the World Government.[33] He knew Eustass Kid since they were children. One day, they ate curry udon with their first love, Victoria Shiruton Doruyanaika. They laughed when she spilled curry broth all over herself while eating it, causing her to beat them up. This caused curry udon to become their least favorite food.[34]

    According to Kid, Killer hated his own laugh so much that he beat up anyone who made fun of it. He eventually stopped laughing at all and started to wear a mask to hide his face.[11]

    Killer, Kid, Heat and Wire were bosses of gangs ruling the island's four towns. After Victoria was murdered by a rival gang, Kid unified the four groups and took down the rival gang. He then decided to form a pirate crew, naming their ship Victoria Punk after Victoria, with Kid as the captain and Killer as his right-hand man.[33] While his captain gained more and more infamy, Killer himself became well known as well, earning himself a Beli162,000,000 bounty alongside his captain. They were noted to have been responsible for a great deal of damage and had caused many civilian casualties for the slightest provocations along their journey.

    They eventually entered the Grand Line in search of the One Piece. After a long voyage following one of the Log Pose routes of the Grand Line, Killer and the crew arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago to prepare themselves for the New World.

For unknown reasons, he ended up facing Urouge around one of the archipelago's groves. Killer's fight was eventually broken up by X Drake, who told them to reign in themselves until they hit the New World.[1]

    He later rejoined with his captain at the Human Auctioning House, to observe the auction taking place. After interruptions caused by Monkey D. Luffy, Killer found himself fighting to escape alongside Trafalgar Law's and Luffy's crews, in the face of a daunting Marine attack.[35] During the battle, Luffy remarked how he will be the one to find the great treasure One Piece; Kid responded to this statement by ceasing current fighting, and facing Luffy. After a brief recollection between the captains, on how their journey was met with laughter and dismissal at their crews' dreams, on their route along the Grand Line, the crew escaped together.

    The crew managed to defeat the Marines and headed back to their ship to escape the island. Destroying a bridge to halt enemy progress, their crew was amazed at the tenacity shown by the Marines, as they continued the chase despite the bridge being destroyed. Their attention was drawn at that moment, however, to the presence of a Pacifista, whom they assumed to be Warlord of the Sea Bartholomew Kuma. With the Heart Pirates eventually joining in, both crews prepared themselves to confront the human weapon.[36]

    Several weeks after the war, Killer and the rest of the Kid Pirates were on a rainy island in the New World. When Kid read the newspaper about Luffy ringing the Ox Bell and asked about it, Killer explained the significance to his captain.

    They had taken another pirate crew captive. After the crew begged Kid to let them go back to "Paradise" (the first half of the Grand Line), Kid tied them to branches in the shapes of different crosses and crucified them using his Devil Fruit powers, saying that people with that little amount of resolve have no business in the New World.[39]

Leading Kid away to one of the main rooms, he warned the other to be civil before entering the room. Discovering the place, a mess due to Scratchmen Apoo looking for an alleged sniper, Kid quickly started a fight with Apoo, while Basil Hawkins decided to leave. Calming the others down, Killer then revealed their intention to create an alliance with the On Air and Hawkins pirates.[17]

    Later on, he continued watching Caesar's video broadcast, where Luffy defeated Caesar.[43]

    The next morning, the newspaper printed a story which announced the alliance between the three crews. The group was confused on how the information got out but put the issue aside, as they were planning to take down an Emperor.[44]

    Kid, Hawkins, and Apoo were dining together when they heard the news of Doflamingo's defeat. They figured that Luffy and Law were after Kaidou. Killer revealed that the target of the Kid's alliance is Shanks.[45]

    A mysterious figure then landed on the Kid Pirates' base, and when it got up, Killer wondered in shock what kind of monster it was before the figure revealed himself to be Kaidou.[46] At that time, Killer, Kid, and Hawkins discovered that Apoo was already working for Kaidou with the intention of setting them up to join Kaidou as his subordinates. While Hawkins joined Kaidou, Killer and Kid refused to submit to the Emperor and tried to fight him only to be defeated. Afterwards, the Kid Pirates were separated.[47]

    Killer and his crew attended the Pirates Festival on Delta Island. He participated in the main event, the Treasure Race, safely sailing up the Knock Up Stream and landing on the central Treasure Island, where all the pirates raced for Gol D. Roger's treasure, all the while battling other Worst Generation members. When Buggy ended up exposing himself after snatching the treasure, Killer and his crew chased after the Warlord. However, the Treasure Race was cut short, when someone threw a galleon at the island, destroying it, and sending everything plummeting back to the surface. When Killer realized that the one who did this was Douglas Bullet, he notified Kid, who was quite surprised. In the end, after his captain gave into Bullet's taunting, he and the other Worst Generation members (except for Zoro and Law) attacked the Demon Heir. At first the Worst Generation pirates managed to deal a few good blows on the veteran, but when the opponent revealed his Gasha Gasha no Mi powers, the battle quickly ended in their defeat.

    Later, after Bullet was defeated, his crew along with the other Worst Generation pirates and several other crews attempted to break through the Marines encirclement surrounding the island. They were able to successfully escape thanks to Sabo and Ann creating a blazing barrier to protect them.[50]

    After the chaos at the palace, Orochi hired Kamazo to kill the kamuro Toko. He then pursued Toko and Kouzuki Hiyori to the Ringo region, where he came across a confrontation between Roronoa Zoro and Gyukimaru. Zoro then clashed with Killer in order to protect Toko and Hiyori. When Zoro was distracted by Gyukimaru, Killer managed to land a grievous hit on him. However, Zoro was able to take one of his scythes as a result and strike him.[3] After that blow, Killer fell to the ground defeated.[24]

    Later on, for failing to kill Toko, he was sent to the Prisoner Mine in Udon alongside Kid, who previously escaped and got recaptured. Kid questioned him on what Kaidou had done to him and the fate of their crew, but Kamazo could not answer through his laughter and tears. Queen then subjected them both to water torture and threatened to keep them submerged until Luffy and Hyougoro die.[51] When Big Mom was swinging Queen around, Killer and Kid were saved from drowning when Queen crashed into the contraption holding them and knocked them out of the water.[52]

    As Luffy and his allies from the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance were fighting against the Beasts Pirates, Raizo tossed some keys to Killer and Kid, which they used to escape their cuffs.[53] After the prison takeover, Kid rejected Luffy's offer for an alliance and Killer left the Prisoner Mines with Kid.[54] Killer and Kid later reunited with their crewmates and joined the battle against the Beasts Pirates during the Fire Festival, with Killer having regained his original identity and look at some point.

    When the Straw Hats took over the port in front of Onigashima, the Kid Pirates promised to be the ones who would defeat Kaidou, all while laughing with Killer out of respect for his new condition.[55] After disembarking on Onigashima, the Kid Pirates received Beasts Pirates disguises from Kin'emon.[56] As the alliance began their raid, the Kid Pirates went ahead of the Straw Hats.[57] While deep inside Onigashima, the Kid Pirates overheard the commotion caused by Luffy and Zoro and attempted to remain incognito, but when their former ally Apoo started getting involved, Killer was unable to hold Kid back.[58]

    After Kid's brief scuffle with Apoo, the situation became more chaotic as a Number entered the fray. As Killer, Kid, Luffy, and Zoro ran to the castle, Killer told the others a possible way to avoid Apoo's attacks.[59] Inside the castle, Killer and Kid got separated from their allies and found themselves fighting against several Gifters.[60] As the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance began their all-out war on the Beasts Pirates, Killer and Kid were aided by some of the rebels who had infiltrated the castle.[61] Killer and Kid eventually reached the third level of the castle, where Killer cut through opponents as Kid focused on collecting metal.[62]

    Killer and the other Supernovas face Kaidou and Big Mom. Killer and the other Supernovas face Kaidou and Big Mom.

    The two later reached the roof, where they were joined by Law, Zoro, and Luffy as they prepared to fight against Kaidou and Big Mom.[63] When watching Luffy successfully deal damage to Kaidou with his improved Armament Haki at the opening clash of the battle, Killer mentioned that they actually do have a chance of winning. Later and after a brief discussion with Zoro about their fight back in Ringo and how the outcome would have been different if Killer was using his Punishers, they both attacked Kaidou simultaneously, with the Emperor praising their combat skills.[64] As the battle went on, Killer tried attacking Kaidou with Kamaa Sonic in order to injure his internals and was successful to some extent. However, Killer was struck by a lightning bolt unleashed by Big Mom right afterwards. While Killer was falling, Kaidou tried to chomp on him, but Luffy was able to kick Kaidou away.[65] After Luffy pummeled Kaidou with Gomu Gomu no Kong Gatling, Killer and Kid tried to continue on the offensive, but Kaidou stopped them by creating some twisters. Killer is then shocked to see that Zoro managed to hurt Kaido by penetrating his scales. The emperor thus launches several air cuts from which Killer defends himself using his weapons.[66]

    Having trouble facing the combined might of Kaidou and Big Mom, the Supernovas devised a plan to split the two Emperors away from each other.[67]

    Kaido and Big Mom use a combo attack, which Zoro manages to slow down allowing the others to avoid it, after Killer asks the others where the Straw Hat is, Killer and Zoro separated Big Mom from her special homies, with Killer knocking Napoleon out of her hand and chasing away the sword.[68] After Kid and Law trapped Zeus in a box and threw Big Mom off the island, Killer accompanied his captain to the edge of Onigashima in order to prevent her from returning.[69] Big Mom flew back to Onigashima with a new thundercloud homie and attacked Killer and Kid. The lightning bolt sent them crashing back inside the Skull Dome. When Big Mom searched for them in the floor below, they chased after her to prevent her from rejoining Kaidou.

    Their former ally, Hawkins blocked their path, so Killer told Kid to proceed while he took care of Hawkins himself. Hawkins transforms into a straw monster, thanking Killer, since his chances of beating both of them were very low, so Killer mocks him back. Hawkins started taunting Killer about the latter's chances of dying in this fight, which were a staggering 92%, but Killer brushed off Hawkins' fortune-telling, laughing it off while showing reassurance of his own strength.[22] Killer continues to attack Hawkins, depriving him of many of his dolls, asking him how many he has left, to which Hawkins replied that he is running out. Killer then stabbed Hawkins, who redirected the injury to a doll linked to Kid. Hawkins revealed the truth about the link because he wanted to watch Killer struggle with killing his captain, at which Killer laughed at his mercilessness.[23]

    Killer cuts Hawkins down. Killer cuts Hawkins down.

    Hawkins hits a pillar to injure Kidd even though Killer, who is lying on the ground, yells at him to stop, where Hawkins taunts his condition for the Smiley, while Killer tells his teammates not to go. When Killer offers his life in exchange for the Kid, Hawkins violently kicks him, taunting that now that the Kid is finally fighting an emperor, there is no need to intervene. In addition to telling him that if he wanted to, he could cut him off now, while if he agrees to surrender, he could make Kaido forgive him. Hawkins tells him that there is no point in continuing to fight, and he and his allies will have no chance of defeating the emperors. Killer, however, countered that Hawkins was covering up his own regret for siding with Kaidou due to how the alliance had fought against the intended results, to which Hawkins angrily tells him that in the end it will be decided who was right.

    Killer gets up saying that he has no regrets, as well as asking Hawkins to explain his power again. Killer then cut off Hawkins' left arm because it wouldn't affect Kid since he no longer had one, where he removed the last straw dummy from Hawkins' amputated arm. Hawkins then uses his cards to summon the Straw Man from him, but Killer decapitated him and quickly defeated Hawkins. Afterwards, Killer cheered on Kid to win in his fight with Big Mom.[21]

    When the castle was engulfed in flames, some of Killer's companions started carrying him around under his protest. At that point they were hit by an immense amount of water, realizing that they were safe.[70] As Onigashima finally lands, he and Kid hear Nekomamushi announce that Luffy has finally defeated Kaido and that Momonosuke has facilitated the fall of the island.[71]

    Killer celebrates Wano's victory with his crew. Killer celebrates Wano's victory with his crew.

    One week later, in the port of Tokage, Killer and the other members of the Kid Pirates oversaw the repair of their ship, the Victoria Punk, with the aid of Franky, Usopp and Minatomo, with Killer showing admiration for the General Franky. Kid warned his subordinates to stop being so friendly with the Straw Hats. As the pirates began discussing potential bounties, Apoo arrived with a newspaper containing Kid's new bounty and information about who had replaced Kaidou and Big Mom in the Four Emperors.[72] Killer correctly guessed that Kid was displeased with the news and had rushed to the Flower Capital to confront Luffy about it. He then took the opportunity to call his crewmembers to the festival happening at town in order to celebrate their win.[73]

    A few days later, as the Kid Pirates were readying themselves for departure, Law gave the Kid Pirates a copy of Wano's Road Poneglyph. Recognizing that it was like the one they took from the Big Mom Pirates, Killer remarked that they had to get serious in the race for One Piece, specifically by going after Hinokizu.[42] As the three crews departed from Wano, the ships all went down the Climbing Koi Waterfall.[74]

    Advertisement Final Saga Egghead Arc Following the sea route their captain chose back at Wano, the Kid Pirates eventually reached their next destination, Elbaph. Killer woke Kid and questioned if they should disembark due to the danger of the island.[75] Shortly after their arrival, they encountered the Giant Warrior Pirates, the Red Hair Pirates, and the captains allied with the Red Hair Pirates, thus prompting the crew to prepare for battle.[76] Killer warned his captain about underestimating the other captains because he recognized some of them from bounty posters. Killer then informed him that there were nine ships, so Kid prepared to destroy them all with Damned Punk. When Shanks leapt to attack Kid directly, Killer jumped in to protect his captain. Shanks' Kamusari destroyed the railgun and heavily injured Killer and Kid in the process. As Shanks left the Victoria Punk, Dorry and Broggy's Hakoku split the ship in half, and the crew sank with the it.[77]

Stripped of his real identity and forced to obey orders, his approach would reflect a broken man who feels unworthy of genuine affection.The Courtship Style of KamazoSilent Presence: He would stand in the shadows of a moonlit Ringo or Flower Capital street, watching over you without saying a word, hiding his forced, pained laughter behind his bandages and mask.A Grim Form of Protection: Instead of flowers, he would quietly eliminate anyone who might pose a threat to you, acting as a terrifying and uninvited guardian angel.Shared Silence: Dates would consist of sitting completely still on a cold wooden porch in Wano, offering no chatter, just a heavy, shared quiet that respects his inability to express true joy.Desperate Devotion: He would keep his distance, knowing his current life as a tool for Orochi brings only doom, hoping you will stay away for your own safety while he suffers alone.Kamatsuzou (Kamazo the Manslayer, also known as Killer) is a quiet, loyal, and fiercely protective man who shows love through quiet acts of service, fierce defense, and silent devotion rather than loud words.Courting StyleSilent Presence: He stays near you without demanding attention.Shared Quiet: He sits with you in total silence while you work or rest.Brought Goods: He drops off fresh food, rare teas, or useful tools at your door.Watchful Eye: He tracks your path to make sure no harm comes to you from the shadows.How He Loves YouAbsolute Shield: He stands between you and any danger without a second thought.Gentle Touch: His hands are scarred from weapons, but he touches you with deep care.Unwavering Faith: He believes in your strength and never doubts your choices.Private Softness: He removes his bandages or guard only around you, showing his true face and raw feelings.Core PersonalityNormally Level-Headed: As Killer, he is usually calm, strategic, and fiercely loyal to Eustass Kid.Deeply Insecure About Laughter: Ironically, before the SMILE fruit ruined his life, Killer actually hated his own peculiar laugh ("Fafafa") so much that he used to attack anyone who mocked it. How Kamazo Would Act in LoveThe Agony of Laughter: Because of the defective SMILE fruit, he would burst into wide, cheerful grins and loud laughter even when he feels nervous, sad, or deeply tender. Telling his partner how much he cares would sound like a cruel joke to outsiders, forcing him to try and communicate his sincerity through his eyes and actions rather than his voice.Fierce and Silent Protection: Underneath the persona, Killer is deeply loyal and rational. If he loved someone, he would act as a quiet guardian shadow, eliminating threats before they ever reached his partner—much like how he historically bore immense burdens and took on dirty work to protect his crew.Extreme Vulnerability with Walls Up: He is deeply insecure about his forced laughter and usually covers his face. With a loved one, he would likely experience immense shame over not being able to cry or frown with them, making him fiercely appreciative of a partner who looks past the forced smile to understand his true, bleeding heart.A Stubborn, Devoted Presence: He wouldn't be loud or overtly romantic with words. Instead, his affection would show through heavy, stoic reliability—staying close, sharing the weight of his quiet suffering, and remaining unshakeable by his partner's side no matter how grim the world around them gets.

    People like to put Ichiji or Reiju as the Strongest Vinsmokes, even though nothing in the story supports that they have any ranks between them.

    Rather, the Vinsmoke family have different attributes that are balanced.

    Reiju is the poison user. She's the Ninja, the stealthy person. She's got poison and of she hits you once, it's basically over for you.

    Ichiji is the technique user. He knows his powers and he knows how to use them in combination with H2H combat.

    Niji is the speedster. He's really fast and combines that with his sword play and electricity to great effect.

    Yonji's the Zoro. The musclehead. He may not have super duper blasts, or electrical discharges, but if he punched you, your grand children will have the impact marker as a birth mark and wonder why.

    Judge is a spear type/flying type fighter, as per his fight with Sanji. He also has some Diable Jambe (inspired?) Kick moves he uses in conjunction with his Raid Suit.

    Now, all 5 of them are incredibly strong. While people underrate them because Sanji beat Yonji and looked like he was about to overwhelm Niji* (I'll write more on this later), their performance on Cacao Island showed that not to be the case, wiping out tens of thousand of Big Mom's army, several of their children and temporarily taking Oven out of the fight (I know people love to say Ichiji and Sanji didn't 'do much' to Oven, but by that token Big Mom didn't do much to Judge, Niji or Yonji since they were up afterwards. Clearly not the case, so let's just dismiss that right out of the gate.)

    The Vinsmokes aren't all 1 trick ponies. Even after they got hit by Germa piercing bullets, they still managed to stay, fight and keep the BMP on Cacao occupied for about 10-11 hours. Judge either defeated Snack and his buddy, or kept him occupied for that long. We know it's about 10-11 hours because Sanji's wedding started at 10 am. So assuming the clashes took about 15 minutes and another 15-30 minutes to get out of there, the SHP would have reached the shop around 11ish.

    Jinbei said it takes a whole day to sail from Mama's territory. Luffy met up with Sanji around 1am, so 12-13 hours after the SHC had started sailing.

    Ichiji: Is the best Hand to hand combatant and his sparking powers suit to take out or slow down the most dangerous threat 1st( He punches Perospero , Tries slow down Kata chan , and Valkyries the shit out of Oven , all 3 of them are potrayed as the top tiers of the Momma Pirates )

    Niji: The quickster and seen with him blitzing the army on Cacao

    Yonji: The muscle

    Modified Humans[2] are humans who have been biologically augmented through genetic enhancements to have incredible physical traits. So far, the only known modified humans are the five children of the Vinsmoke Family.

    The video player is currently playing an ad. Appearance Modified humans are normal humans with artificial enhancements made at a genetic level. Their external appearances remain identical to that of normal humans.[3] However, genetic enhancements can cause changes to appearance not inherited from one's parents, as none of the Vinsmoke children (except Sanji) inherited their parents' hair colors,[4] and all share the feature of both of their eyebrows curling into a spiral on one side.

    Sanji, who's genetic modifications were initially negated by his mother taking a drug while he was in the womb, is unique among his siblings, both because his hair color is the same as his parents', and because the spirals on his eyebrows are on their left, rather than their right. However, after wearing his associated Raid Suit multiple times, causing his dormant enhancements to awaken, his eyebrows briefly became the same as his siblings'.[5]

    Biology Modified humans are humans whose Lineage Factor has been manipulated, usually at the embryonic stage. By manipulating this "blueprint of life", the growth of the life form in question can be changed accordingly.[6]

    Vinsmoke Judge engineered his four sons to possess superhuman traits, by applying the procedure to them during their fetus stage, against the wishes of his wife, Vinsmoke Sora.[7] By doing so, he ensured they would develop a secondary, hardened skeleton known as an Exoskeleton (外骨格, Gaikokkaku?), as well as other physical enhancements.[8] However, while Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji all adapted to their father's engineering, Sanji did not gain any of the genetic enhancements due to their mother taking a powerful drug intended to negate the surgery's effects. The drug rendered Sanji alone a "normal human" at birth,[7] but only until recently when he would later awaken his genetic enhancements during the raid on Onigashima.[9] Sanji realizes that his augmented body was the result of wearing his raid suit. Sanji's genetic modifications, compared to his brothers, affected only his body due to having a fully developed set of emotions before it awakened. His new augmented body grants him far more power than he had before.[10][11][12]

    Reiju, although not born alongside her four brothers, was also modified by her father to possess such enhancements, but rather than being born without emotions, she was modified to prevent her from directly disobeying Judge.[13]

    Advertisement Cultural Relationships Modified humans broach a controversial topic about the morality of genetic engineering, its benefits and drawbacks. Judge, a warrior king, was adamant about turning his four sons into superhuman commanders for the family's army, Germa 66, while his wife Sora was against the negation of their ability to feel compassion. Sora fiercely believed that such modifications would render their sons inhuman, to the point that she consumed a powerful drug in an attempt to negate their effects; this drug only worked on Sanji, and conversely caused permanent damage to Sora's health that led to her premature death years later.[7] Reiju, three years older than her brothers, was also subjected to a different variant enhancement which similarly give her superhuman physical potential and an exoskeleton. However, the procedure interfered with her emotional capacity in a different manner; she cannot disobey direct orders, but retains her natural compassion and can resist or circumvent her father's commands with loopholes.

    Due to their lack of inherent compassion in conjunction with their royal and militant upbringing, the three modified brothers of the Vinsmoke Family look down on others with utter haughtiness, and are willing to kill and injure in cold blood.[7] This includes wanton acts of cruelty, such as ordering soldiers to sacrifice their own lives for them, or brutally attacking a devoted chef to vent out dinner frustrations. Their cruelty extends to their mutual quadruplet brother, Sanji, whom they see as a failure due to his lack of genetic enhancements and his capacity to empathize.[14] Beyond this cruel and self-superior nature, the three brothers are generally less emotional than a normal human being; in particular they have no personal fear of injury or death, traits intended to make them effective warriors. Judge's goal was for this trait, in tandem with a calculating efficiency to avoid injury purely out of pragmatism only, to render them master combatants and killing machines, but to his horror it proves to be a great flaw. When the Vinsmoke family were surrounded by the Big Mom Pirates and restrained at gunpoint without arms or effective armor, the modified brothers quickly assessed that, having no means to retaliate, defend, or escape their predicament, there was nothing for them to do; the family had simply lost, and so they sat there unconcerned, accepting defeat and death nonchalantly. The trio joked about how badly they had been deceived; and when their father, who was more naturally upset over the impending death of himself and his children, began to plead and cry, they coldly deemed him a failure in contrast with their usual respect. Not even their own beloved father's sentiment mattered to them in that dire situation. Judge, witnessing this flawed design in their genetic engineering, desperately thought at last that something was wrong with them.[15] Despite these flaws, Judge was correct that the modifications would make the brothers more effective warriors. Even after being mowed down in a hail of gunfire, the Vinsmokes barely reacted to their injuries and continued to fight against Big Mom's soldiers, only beginning to retreat after they had completed their mission.

    Because of the horrible treatment he was given as a child, Sanji resented his brothers as well as his father. After escaping from the Germa Kingdom in the East Blue, Sanji made a new life for himself as a cook while not ever mentioning his true relations to anyone. When he was forced to reunite with his blood family, he was reminded constantly of how cruel they all were to him in the past, but was unable to disobey them due to Judge's threat against his adoptive father. However, his sister, Reiju was the only one to show him any compassion to him, even replacing the wristbands that were rigged to explode if Sanji tried to escape with normal ones. Also, after learning of the Big Mom Pirates' plot to kill his family, Sanji desired to save them despite the abuse they put him through, and later claimed that it was only because his "real" father would disagree with Sanji's decision to leave them for dead. In return for his deed, his father and siblings fought hard against the Emperor's crew to allow Sanji and his own crew to escape from Totto Land, though they stated that they simply did not wish to be indebted to a "failure", showing that their opinion of him did not change in the slightest.

    When Sanji noticed the raid suit that was secretly granted by his siblings, Sanji initially refused to use it due to his hatred for his family, but kept it despite wanting to throw it away. Later on, in Wano, Sanji ultimately decided to use it in order to conceal his identity while fighting with Page One, granting him great power and the ability to turn invisible (which he used to peep on women in the bathhouse like he always dreamed of doing). He then used it again during the raid on Onigashima to save Momonosuke from being executed, but then began to feel unusual afterwards. During his fight with Queen, he realized that by wearing the suit, it began to awaken the dormant modifications that his mother gave her life to prevent him from getting, granting him greater strength and resistance from injury. Upon seeing this, Queen became ecstatic of fighting one of his former colleague's inventions to prove his superiority, but Sanji became fearful of becoming a heartless killing machine like his brothers and ran off. After an encounter with a woman he supposedly attacked, Sanji decided to destroy the raid suit in order to cut off all ties with his family; he even requested for Zoro to kill him should he end up a different person after the battle. His new modifications did prove useful, as his evolved body grants him immense boost in strength, speed and durability along with his new Ifrit Jambe technique to finally defeat Queen.

    The modified humans engineered by Judge all possess superhuman physical strength. During their childhood, with training, the four Vinsmoke siblings' strength and resilience rapidly increased to the point of equaling an adult man's.[8] Further administration of drugs can also further the augmentations.[7] In Sanji's case, due to having developed an extremely powerful body from years of training, his latent enhancements when fully awakened proved more formidable than his siblings as he could knock down Queen, a cybernetically enhanced Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit user and one of the Beast Pirates' All-Stars, without the need to use his Raid Suit.

    The Vinsmoke siblings also possess an exoskeleton which grants them enhanced durability, leading them to be renowned for their "iron bodies"[16], allowing them to easily endure regular bullets.[17] They also possess an increased healing rate, as Reiju managed to rapidly heal after her leg was shot,[2] and was even able to engage in combat a few hours later.[18] A more extreme case was shown where Sanji survived being crushed to death, when all his broken bones heal and reformed in a matter of seconds.

    Raid Suits The Vinsmokes in their Raid Suits. The Vinsmokes in their Raid Suits.

    Each of the Vinsmoke siblings possess their own Raid Suit, a specialized costume that can be dispersed by a canister, but only be worn by the person designated to it. While wearing them, their usual superhuman abilities are enhanced and they are also given special equipment such as a cape that could block any attack and boots that enable flight. In addition, each sibling is granted a special ability unique from one another, which have been demonstrated are tied to the user's epithet:

    Reiju's ability is "Poison Pink" (ポイズンピンク, Poizun Pinku?), which allows her to suck out powerful poisons out of an afflicted individuals and neutralize them within her body, demonstrating complete immunity to the deadliest poisons.[19] She is also able to secrete poison to attack enemies.[20] Ichiji's ability is "Sparking Red" (スパーキングレッド, Supākingu Reddo?), which allows him to generate energy beams and explosions from his body. Niji's ability is "Dengeki Blue" (デンゲキブルー, Dengeki Burū?), which allows him to generate electricity from his body.[14] Sanji's ability is "Stealth Black" (ステルス・ブラック, Suterusu Burakku?), which allows him to become invisible from his body. Yonji's ability is "Winch Green" (ウインチグリーン, Uinchi Gurīn?), which allows him to possess tremendous grappling power. His gauntlets can extend outward, gripping and punching with incredible force.

    Advertisement Limits Yonji's face dented by Sanji. Yonji's face dented by Sanji.

    The Exoskeleton, while powerful, is not invincible. When hit by a force of powerful enough vigor, it can cause it to bend out of shape, although it can be repaired with a counter blunt-force, such as a hammer or a "Press Machine".[21] Should something like the jaw be dislocated, the modified human in question can rearrange it by hand.[14] The Charlotte Family also developed special "Candy Jacket" bullets capable of piercing through Reiju's exoskeleton, causing her left leg to bleed profusely.[22]

    Modified humans are as vulnerable to Devil Fruit powers as any other normal human, as Reiju's memories were successfully modified by Pudding without any difficulty.[22]

    Additionally, there are notable limitations to the modifications' accompanying impact on emotional capacity. While Judge originally perceived Ichiji's, Niji's, and Yonji's lack of emotions as a strength in combat, it proved a limitation when they responded indifferently to the prospect of imminent death.[15] As Reiju retained her emotions and humanity, she grew to despise her father and brothers (except Sanji), and was forced to carry out her father's orders in a way which conflicted with her innate moral nature. However, while Judge's modifications on Reiju prevent her from directly opposing him, they do not appear to prevent Reiju from undermining his orders indirectly, as she replaced Sanji's exploding wrist bracelets with fakes. Reiju was also able to choose not to warn her family about Big Mom's imminent plan to betray and kill them, showing that she retains a large degree of autonomy.[7] Ironically, while Judge had always viewed Sanji as a failure due to his compassion and humanity, it was this very compassion that led Sanji to rescue his family despite the years of mistreatment he received at their hands, an act that shocked Judge and moved Reiju.[23]

    It appears that genetic modifications can only remove a limited range of natural human emotions and cannot alter the subject's natural personality. Despite their loss of "soft" emotions such as empathy and compassion, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji are still capable of feeling such emotions as anger and cruel delight, and they all exhibited a lecherous streak at the sight of Nami.[24] They also rescued Nami, Chopper, and Carrot from the clutches of the Big Mom Pirates at Sanji's behest, implying that the brothers are still capable of showing gratitude in limited ways, even towards people they detest.

    The Vinsmoke Family is a royal bloodline that rules the Germa Kingdom, as well as the former dynastic conquerors and rulers of the North Blue. They are also a powerful and infamous family of Underworld mercenaries,[3] and the family from which Sanji originally hails.[4] As an adjunct to their rule over the Germa Kingdom, they are the commanders of the Kingdom's Underworld army, Germa 66.[2]

    Due to their actions, the Vinsmoke Family were the secondary antagonists of the Whole Cake Island Arc and were one of the central antagonist groups of the Whole Cake Island Saga. However, following Big Mom's deception, they have since allied with the Straw Hats and the Fire Tank Pirates. They are also the central characters from Germa 66's Ahh...

    Advertisement Overview About 300 years ago, the Vinsmoke Family established and ruled the Germa Empire (ジェルマ帝国, Jeruma Teikoku?),[5][6] after conquering the entire North Blue with their military might. 66 days later, they were dethroned, yet they continue to rule over the ocean-going Germa Kingdom, and still possess the authority and privileges of royalty, including the right to attend Levely.[7][6] Furthermore, their patriarch is powerful enough to directly influence the bounty system, by both increasing bounties and changing their conditions of capture.[8] However, with their recent activities in Totto Land, the World Government has cut all ties with the Germa Kingdom and stripped them of their connections to both the government and Marines.

    Activities and Abilities The Family currently conducts its primary operations within the Underworld, including leading Germa 66 in mercenary activities against other military forces.[9] Among known royal families, the Vinsmokes are unusual in that they command their kingdom's military forces directly in combat (a responsibility that only the Gorgon Sisters share); they are also unique in engaging in constant warfare with other nations, in order to reestablish their former dominion over North Blue.[10]

    The Vinsmokes also appear to have impressive connections in the Underworld, with the Underworld emperor "Big News" Morgans claiming deep ties between the family and his newspaper company, the World Economic Journal.[11] These activities and attributes have led them to develop a prominent and infamous reputation throughout the Underworld;[12] however, their notoriety seems to extend beyond these boundaries, with Brook[13] and Robin both recognizing the Vinsmoke name.[14]

    The Vinsmokes possess advanced combat technology which they use adeptly in battle, and which is so advanced that even Emperor Big Mom seeks access to it.[15] In battle, each member of the family wears a set of clothing and technological accessories called a Raid Suit, which allows them to hover in midair, jump large distances, and boost their kicking power.[16] When not being worn, raid suits can be wholly contained inside small canisters, each marked with the Vinsmoke's allocated number (for Judge, the letter "J" marks his canister). Once clicked, the canisters rotate and release the material of the suit; this material remembers the shape of its wearer, and is completely resistant to fire.[17]

    The Vinsmokes have also developed cloning technology, which they have used to create a virtually inexhaustible army, as well as other genetic modification technologies which have endowed the children of the family with superhuman abilities. Despite the illegality of cloning, Judge nevertheless managed to remain in the trust of the World Government, showing either high favor or powerful secrecy.[18]

    The Vinsmokes' many subjects behave with absolute loyalty and obedience. Their soldiers, being programmed clones, are willing to sacrifice their lives for their sovereigns without aforethought. When called upon to do so through the command, "Wall" (壁, Kabe?), they will shield the royal in "danger" from any attack by positioning themselves in front of the Vinsmoke.[19][20]

    In their capacity as the commanders of Germa 66, the Vinsmoke Family are also the villains of the World Economic Journal comic strip, Sora, Warrior of the Sea.[21] As Marine propaganda, the comic's premise centers on fictionalized accounts of their conflict with the equally fictional Marine hero, Sora.

    It is later explained that Germa 66 were chosen as the model for the comic's villain group because the Vinsmoke name was once considered synonymous with evil.[22] Furthermore, in Vito's brief thoughts on the comic, there are several featured Germa 66 agents that resemble members of the family. Specifically, the two figures wearing cloaks that bear the numbers "1" and "2" are likely references to Ichiji and Niji, while the helmeted figure towering above them is a likely reference to Judge.[21]

    Advertisement Family Description The family currently consists of a father (the family patriarch),[2] one daughter,[23] and four sons;[24] furthermore, the sons of the family were all born on the same day.[25] The patriarch is infamous throughout the Underworld.[12] The family matriarch is deceased,[26] after succumbing to the aftereffects of a powerful but lethal drug.[27]

    The children of the Vinsmoke Family were genetically modified by Judge, specifically for the purpose of creating elite military commanders who would lead Germa 66 to achieve Judge's ambitions. However, one of the children, Sanji, was disowned from the family. Sanji was labeled a 'failure' in his early childhood, after exhibiting undesirable behaviors to Judge and consistently being outperformed by his siblings in physical tests.[28] These modifications are the reason for the Vinsmoke siblings' different hair colors. Sanji is the only sibling to inherit his parents' hair color due to the modification's failure on him.[29]

    The family's most distinct physical feature is the curly eyebrows common to all the children, though Sanji's are curled in the opposite direction.[1][24][23] However, after activating his genetic enhancements during the Raid on Onigashima, Sanji's eyebrows curled exactly like his siblings's ones.

    History Distant Past About 300 years ago, the Vinsmoke Family formed and ruled the Germa Empire, after their conquest of the entire North Blue. However, 66 days later, their empire suddenly collapsed and their sovereignty was confined to the Germa Kingdom, which somehow became a seafaring kingdom.

    Three centuries later, Vinsmoke Judge, the current patriarch, dreamed about reestablishing his family's old empire, and so he dedicated his life to realizing this dream.[5][6] At some point during his reign, he orchestrated the Conquest of Four Nations, where he vanquished four North Blue kings.[10] Judge also worked with Vegapunk in an illegal research group dedicated to unlocking the human Lineage Factor and gaining the ability of cloning. The World Government eventually cracked down on their research, although Judge managed to escape and resume his work on cloning alone.[30]

    Later on, Judge married Sora, and the two had a daughter named Reiju, who received genetic manipulation from Judge. Three years later, they conceived quadruplet sons, and Judge had them modified inside the womb to become incredibly strong military commanders, which would remove their capacity for emotions in the process. Sora objected to this but was eventually forced to undergo the surgery. However, she consumed a pill to try to counteract the surgery, which severely weakened her. She gave birth to four sons, Ichiji, Niji, Sanji, and Yonji, but the drug only worked on Sanji.[31]

    Judge started training his children to unlock their genetic modifications from a very young age, and Sanji, due to not having any, quickly fell behind his siblings. This led to frequent bullying from his brothers, and Reiju took part in it in order to maintain her standing among them but tended to Sanji's wounds when they were alone. Sanji frequently displayed acts of compassion, such as feeding his bedridden mother as well as rats, and Judge heavily disapproved of this.[32] Sora was immensely pleased with Sanji's emotional growth, finding happiness in visits from him and Reiju. However, Sora later died from the effects of the drug,[31] and Judge finally decided to remove Sanji from his life after receiving confirmation that he appeared to be a normal human. Sanji was then locked in a dungeon with an iron mask on and was given a fabricated death and a funeral.[32]

    Despite Judge's abandonment, he still had Sanji fed regularly, and Sanji still had access to books, with which he learned how to cook. However, his brothers eventually found him, and the bullying resumed. Eventually, Reiju told Sanji that the Germa Kingdom was crossing from the North Blue to the East Blue, which was where Sanji saw the chance to escape after telling his sister that he wanted to be a chef. When they reached the island of Cozia, Reiju freed Sanji, but Sanji was soon confronted by Judge. However, Judge allowed Sanji to leave, so long as Sanji never identified himself as a member of their family. Sanji parted ways with his sister as he left the Germa Kingdom and ran to a nearby cruise ship called the Orbit in tears.[33] However, Judge began looking for Sanji very soon after his son had left due to having a use for him.[34]

    During his stay on the Orbit, Sanji was involved in a shipwreck, where he met Zeff of the Cook Pirates. The two formed a father-son bond, and Sanji became Zeff's sous chef when the Baratie restaurant was opened.[35][36] After nine years of physical and culinary training, Sanji quit his job as sous chef and joined the Straw Hat Pirates,[37] eventually receiving a bounty after the Enies Lobby incident.[38] Judge sent bounty hunters after him, but due to Sanji's wanted poster having a crudely drawn picture of his face, the hunters ended up going after Duval, who looked identical to the drawing. Two years later, however, Sanji received an updated bounty with a photograph of him, and Judge had his bounty condition changed to "Only Alive."[34][39]

    Some time between the Curly Hat Pirates' encounter with the Big Mom Pirates off the coast of Dressrosa, and the Big Mom Pirates' arrival on Zou, the Vinsmoke and Charlotte Families entered into a political alliance that was to be sealed with an arranged wedding between the third Vinsmoke son, Sanji, and the 35th Charlotte daughter, Pudding.[40] Sanji, shocked that his past had been brought up again, deduced that his father was also responsible for the changes to his bounty. Intent on tying up all loose ends from his past, Sanji reluctantly left Zou to confront his family at Whole Cake Island.[41]

    Whole Cake Island Arc Reiju cures Luffy. Reiju cures Luffy.

    Reiju and Yonji went to greet Sanji on a Germa Kingdom ship, but ended up running into the Straw Hats on the Thousand Sunny. Yonji first met the Straw Hats, and refused to give aid to a poisoned Luffy, but Reiju berated him for his actions and sucked the poison out of Luffy, curing him. Reiju briefly explained their history with Sanji, and the two sides agreed to not mention their meeting as Reiju and Yonji returned to their ship.[34]

    Meanwhile, Ichiji and Niji ended a two-year war on Broc Coli Island, and they prepared to make the two-day voyage to Whole Cake Island to reunite with Sanji.[9]

    Sanji was eventually brought to the Germa Kingdom the next day, where he first reunited with Yonji. After a disagreement, they got into a scuffle, where Sanji bashed Yonji's face in. Sanji then met Reiju and Judge, and after disagreeing with his father, the two decided to settle matters physically.[42] After a hard-fought battle, Judge used his soldiers as a human shield to get the jump on Sanji and defeat him. After the battle, Reiju placed explosive handcuffs on Sanji's wrists to prevent him from escaping.[43]

    The next day, Ichiji and Niji returned to the Germa Kingdom,[44] and the Vinsmoke Family ate a meal together. Sanji got into an argument with Niji over the latter's lack of appreciation for food, and Judge quelled the scuffle by threatening to have Zeff assassinated should Sanji continue to rebel. In revenge for Sanji's actions, Niji viciously beat a cook whom Sanji had defended earlier.[45] Before Sanji could find Niji, Yonji took him to the kingdom's cloning facility, where he touted Germa's military might. Niji and Ichiji then confronted Sanji in the facility, and Sanji got into a scuffle with Niji over his actions. However, with the threat on Zeff hanging in the air, Niji overpowered Sanji and he, Ichiji, and Yonji beat him up.[32] Sanji was later found on the ground by Reiju, who treated his wounds and gave him a mask for his swollen face in order to make him look presentable for their lunch meeting with Big Mom.[46]

    The Vinsmokes then headed out to meet Big Mom, and when they reached the outskirts of Sweet City, Luffy suddenly came in to rescue Sanji. With the threat on Zeff still looming, however, Sanji claimed to have embraced his royal heritage[47] and attacked Luffy. However, Luffy promised to wait for Sanji until he returned, and Sanji was unable to hold in his emotions.[48] When they entered Sweet City, the Vinsmokes noted the army Big Mom had sent out to take down Luffy. They then reached the Whole Cake Chateau, and ate lunch with Big Mom and Pudding. There, Sanji agreed to marry Pudding in order to keep his crew safe.[49]

    After the lunch, Big Mom took the Vinsmokes, except Sanji, to her library, where she showed them her collection of rare creatures trapped inside books.[50] Afterwards, Reiju departed from the group, while Sanji made food for Pudding. However, while Reiju investigated Pudding, she was ambushed and shot by Pudding and taken to her room. There, Pudding revealed that Big Mom's real plan is to massacre the Vinsmokes at the wedding and take control of Germa.[51] She removed Reiju's memories of their encounter, but unbeknownst to her, Sanji had heard everything from outside.[52]

    Immediately afterwards, Sanji went to see Reiju at the infirmary, where he revealed what had happened to her. Reiju believed him and told him to run away back to the Straw Hats, revealing that she had replaced the explosive handcuffs with duds and saying that he had lived up to their mother's dream.[31] At first, Sanji was unable to cast aside the threats against him and his friends, and initially intended to stay and be killed at the wedding. However, when Bobbin came and took the food he had made with his crewmates in mind, Sanji attacked him in an emotional outburst, forcing him to go on the run.[53] With no other choice, he returned to the spot where Luffy was waiting for him,[54] and he fed Luffy. After a heated exchange, Sanji eventually confessed that he wanted to save his family and not watch them die at Big Mom's hands, and Luffy agreed to this.[55] Sanji reunited with his comrades, and they formed an alliance with the Fire Tank Pirates in order to assassinate Big Mom and rescue the Vinsmokes.[56] Meanwhile, Big Mom supplied the Vinsmoke men with drinks into the night, to keep them distracted in their room with no communication to the outside world.[55]

    The next day, the Vinsmokes got ready for the wedding ceremony,[56] and as the Tea Party got into full swing, Sanji and Pudding were brought into the venue to be married on an altar on top of a giant wedding cake.[57] However, as Pudding revealed her third eye in order to shock Sanji, he complimented it instead, causing her to break down in tears. Pudding's brother Charlotte Katakuri attempted to shoot Sanji, but Sanji dodged the shot and then glared at the surprised shooter. The Vinsmokes were alerted from this action, wondering what was transpiring. Luffy and several copies of him then jumped out of the wedding cake in order to initiate the plan.[58] As this happened, Sanji grabbed Pudding and jumped off the altar as the cake collapsed.[59] Seeing the arrival of the Sanji Retrieval Team, Judge immediately assumed that the chaos was being caused by them in an attempt to retrieve Sanji. After they landed, Pudding once again tried to shoot Sanji, but Sanji was able to dodge each shot. Eventually, Pudding was cast aside by her brother, Charlotte Daifuku, who berated her for missing her chance and proceeded to fight Sanji.

    Taking advantage of the distraction, Charlotte Perospero then tied the Vinsmokes down to their table and chairs with candy while his siblings held the family at gunpoint. Judge responded with shock at the betrayal and screamed at Big Mom to explain herself, but Ichiji told his father to stop disgracing himself while Yonji and Niji merely laughed at their predicament. As Judge berated his sons for their indifference, Reiju thought to herself that it was Judge's own fault for breeding soft emotions out of her brothers, so that they were even unmoved at the prospect of their own deaths. Seeing this helpless situation, Judge broke down in tears as he listed all his life's work to take the North Blue as he was mocked for his sadness by Perospero.[60]

    After further mockery from Perospero, their captors prepared to shoot the Vinsmokes. Sanji tried to run to their aid as Reiju acknowledged his intention. Fortunately, the alliance's plans kicked in and Big Mom began to scream, most of their captors collapsed. With Daifuku also affected, Sanji managed to reach the table, freeing his surprised family by shattering the hardened candy. The Straw Hat Pirates then gave them earplugs and their raid suits.[61] As the Charlotte Family began to recover from Big Mom's scream, they refocused and attacked the alliance. In response, the Vinsmoke Family put on their raid suits and repelled the attacks from Perospero, Oven, Smoothie, and Daifuku. After rescuing Nami, Carrot, and Chopper, they retreated inside Bege's fortress.[62]

    Once inside, the Vinsmokes learned that the retrieval team had rescued them on Sanji's request. Judge then questioned Sanji with his siblings watching on. As he explained his reasons for saving them in spite of their mistreatment of him, Sanji disowned Judge as his father once again, and Judge promised to leave both him and the East Blue alone thereafter. However, with Big Mom regaining her senses and causing extensive damage to Bege's fortress, the family then exited the fortress and faced the Big Mom Pirates head on in order to give the alliance a window in which to escape the Chateau rooftop.[63]

Reiju, Sanji, and Luffy were also overwhelmed by the Big Mom Pirates. However, before Big Mom could execute them, the Tamatebako dropped to the base of the Whole Cake Chateau and exploded, causing the entire castle to collapse.[64]

    With the castle collapsing and their enemies distracted, the family took the opportunity to gather themselves and flew away from the chaos.[65] They were pursued by a squad of the Big Mom Pirates, but after arriving back at the Germa Kingdom, the Vinsmoke siblings were able to dispatch their pursuers. When Niji contacted Mont-d'Or through a Den Den Mushi, he impersonated one of the Big Mom Pirates and tricked Mont-d'Or into thinking that Germa 66 had been crushed. After they were informed of the direction the Straw Hats were heading, Ichiji told his siblings to set sail.[66]

While the siblings personally attacked members of the Charlotte Family, they also commanded their army to attack the Big Mom Pirates' fleet surrounding the island.[67] The Vinsmoke siblings then ensured that Sanji and Luffy escaped the island, taking down any Big Mom Pirate that tried to stop them.[68]

    After Sanji and Luffy made it back to the Sunny, they were pursued by Smoothie's fleet, but Judge ordered Germa to fire upon her ship. From his castle, he asked Luffy why he entered an Emperor's territory just to rescue Sanji while listing out Sanji's "flaws". Luffy, however, misinterpreted Judge's comments as praise and thanked him for his assistance.[69]

    As the battle raged on, the Big Mom Pirates brought anti-Germa bullets and used them to injure Reiju, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji. Meanwhile, Judge was confronted by Snack and another individual.[70] When the Straw Hats finally escaped Totto Land, Germa 66 prepared to withdraw. However, Big Mom arrived at Cacao Island before they could retreat.[71]

As the four made their escape, they were confronted by Oven and Katakuri. With Caesar Clown's help, the Charlotte brothers were distracted fighting each other, allowing the Vinsmokes and the scientist to successfully flee together.[73]

    Germa 66 are popularly known throughout the world as the main antagonists of the fictional Marine hero Sora, as depicted in World Economic Journal's long-running propaganda comic strip Sora, Warrior of the Sea.[5] For this reason, the organization's existence is doubted by many, with Nami describing them as a "mythical evil army."[6] Furthermore, the East Blue nation of Cozia was also shocked to discover that Germa 66 was real, even while Germa was attacking them.[7] It was revealed by Vinsmoke Yonji that Germa 66 was chosen as the model for the comic's villain group because the name of its commanders was once considered synonymous with evil.[8]

    On the other hand, the organization's existence is well-known in both the Underworld and the seas in which they have been militarily active.[9] Irrespective of whether or not people believe in the army's existence, the army retains a fearful reputation throughout the world.[10]

    Activities and Abilities Germa 66's activities are a mix of national military expansion and Underworld warmongering. In the former case, they were involved in the Conquest of Four Nations, which culminated in the assassination of the kings of four North Blue nations.[11] In the latter case, they have been shown operating as mercenaries for hire; most recently, they were paid by one side of a two-year civil war on Broc Coli Island to eliminate the other side, which they managed in four hours, using only a portion of their forces.[12] The army's Vinsmoke commanders accept commissions on the basis of profitability but will not take on different sides of the same conflict even if it would generate a greater return.[13]

    As a fighting squad, the Germa makes extensive and adept use of sophisticated military technology, which they continually improve and develop through engagement in warfare.[14] This technology is so advanced that Big Mom of the Four Emperors sought an alliance with the Vinsmokes in order to gain access to their resources.[15] The Vinsmoke siblings, who co-command Germa's forces directly under their father, are also genetically modified humans whose combat prowess and special abilities easily eclipse the limitations of average humans.[16] Furthermore, they have been shown to use combat gear, including shoes that allow them to hover in midair, jump large distances, and boost their kick power.[17][18] The army's supreme commander also possesses an assortment of weapons powered by electromagnetic energy.[19]

    Germa 66's overall military might is immense, earning the group great notoriety and making it the source of great respect and desire for Big Mom. Aside from its demonstrated ability to defeat whole nations within hours,[12] it is also a highly mobile unit, which has so far been shown traversing both the North Blue and East Blue (a rare feat which requires crossing the Red Line),[20][21] as well as enter the New World. Germa's extensive reach allows it to make credible threats across different seas, as seen when Judge threatened the safety of the Baratie (located in the East Blue) from Germa's position in the New World.[22] They were able to utterly defeat a 10,000-strong army led by Charlotte Nusstorte of the Big Mom Pirates.

    Germa 66's members and associated property make prominent use of the number "66" in various forms. It is commonly featured as part of their uniforms, as tattoos, and on their equipment (including their headphones and belts).[23] The Germa Kingdom's flag, and the sails of its ships, also bear the number.[24]

    The organization's symbol is sometimes stylized with the second "6" rotated upside down; in this stylization, Germa's symbol resembles an ordinary skull with eyes like futatsudomoe. Whenever this version of the symbol is used within the Vinsmoke castle, it is overlaid with a lightning bolt between the two "6s".[25]

    In the comic strip, the Germa's symbol consisted simply of a skull mark.

    Uniform Germa 66 soldiers' uniforms. Germa 66 soldiers' uniforms.

    The soldiers of Germa 66 wear dark grey suits with an orange "66" on the chest. They wear a short, white, double-breasted, pointed cowl that covers the head and shoulders, leaving only the nose and lower jaw visible. They also wear thin goggles, black headphones, grey boots, white gloves, and a yellow ascot.

    When leading their troops into battle, each Vinsmoke commander wears a Raid Suit (レイドスーツ, Reido Sūtsu?) bearing their designated number: "0" for Vinsmoke Reiju, "1" for Vinsmoke Ichiji, "2" for Vinsmoke Niji, and "4" for Vinsmoke Yonji.[26][27][28] When not being worn, raid suits can be wholly contained inside small canisters, each marked with the Vinsmoke's allocated number (for Judge, the letter "J" marks his canister). Once clicked, the canisters rotate and release the material of the suit; this material remembers the shape of its wearer and is completely resistant to fire.[29]

    Despite leaving the family and renouncing his ties to Germa 66,[30] Sanji (whose designated number would be "3") is still treated by others (most notably the Big Mom Pirates) as a member of the group,[31] until Sanji renounced his family and cut his ties to Germa 66 once again.[32]

    Advertisement Commanders The Vinsmoke Family heads the organization, with the family patriarch, Vinsmoke Judge, operating as its supreme commander.[2]

    Scientific Unit Germa 66's Scientific Unit is the primary source of the army's renowned strength. It is constituted by capable scientists working together under Judge to create more and more performing warfare technologies. They notably created its Clone Army, which constitutes Germa's main strength, and also successfully conducted experiments on the Vinsmoke siblings in order to make them "perfect warriors". Much of the Scientific Unit's work is a continuation of the research conducted by Judge with his former research partner, the famous World Government scientist Vegapunk.[33]

    Clone Soldiers Further information: Cloning Capsules containing hundreds of Germa soldiers. Capsules containing hundreds of Germa soldiers.

    Germa 66's present soldiers are artificially manufactured humans, using the cloning technology of the Germa Kingdom. So far, six types of Clone Soldiers have been shown:

    Type-WB (Woman Balance) Type-MB (Man Balance) Type-MR (Man Reach) Type-MH (Man Heavy) Type-MST (Man Strong) Type-MSP (Man Speed) These types cover many distinctive physiques: soldiers of average size, tall and thin, and very broad and heavily muscular builds have all been seen. Regardless of their type, every one of them wears dark lenses over their eyes at all times. While cloned, they are kept in culture fluid capsules in a secluded section of the Vinsmoke Castle, being observed and monitored by the Scientific Unit in a sealed laboratory called the Soldier Stock Depot (兵士のストック倉庫デポ, Heishi no Sutokkudepo?).[34] They are known as Clone Soldiers (複製クローン兵, Kurōn Hei?) and are themselves not aware of their origins.

    Germa 66's soldiers are known for their endless and tireless training; the clones spend every moment outside of battle in preparation for their next operation.[35] They are also fiercely loyal to their commanders and execute orders without hesitation.[12] They are indeed programmed to obey every order that is given by their superiors and will not hesitate to throw their lives away to protect a commander; even under trivial circumstances, a soldier will sacrifice himself purely to demonstrate the loyalty of the group.[36]

    It is likely, however, that Germa 66's forces were not always comprised of clone soldiers, since the cloning technology used to manufacture them is an application of the Lineage Factor research discovered in relatively recent times by Judge and Vegapunk. Furthermore, it is said that these duplicates were created from the strongest soldiers of Germa, meaning the originals that served as the template were born human.[37]

    Sometime in the past, Germa 66 was involved in the infamous incident known as the Conquest of Four Nations, during which four kings in North Blue were assassinated by the army's leaders.[38]

    Thirteen years ago, Judge ordered a number of Germa soldiers to imprison Sanji in the Vinsmoke castle's dungeons, and told the rest of the soldiers (to their great sadness) that one of their future commanders had died in an accident.[39] Six months later, Germa 66 crossed the Red Line and initiated a campaign against the nation of Cozia. During the early stages of the battle, Sanji successfully escaped the Germa Kingdom and fled onto the docked Orbit.[40]

    Whole Cake Island Saga Zou Arc Recently, Germa 66 allied with the Big Mom Pirates, as part of a political alliance between the two families which command each respective force. To seal the alliance, a marriage was arranged between a member of each family: the Vinsmoke Family's third son, Sanji, and the Charlotte Family's thirty-fifth daughter, Pudding.[41]

    As the Sanji Retrieval Team finally reached Big Mom's territory, their signal was detected by underwater sea slugs before they were subsequently discovered by one of Germa 66's ships.[42] Germa 66 was surprised to see them, as they had intended to meet up with Sanji. As Vinsmoke Yonji conversed with the Straw Hats, tensions flared as he refused to help them cure Luffy of his poisoning; however, Vinsmoke Reiju appeared and cured Luffy, conversing briefly with the Straw Hat Pirates about the history of her family and Germa 66. Shortly afterwards, Germa 66 parted ways with the Sanji Retrieval Team, having decided to pretend that they had not encountered the team.[43]

    Three days before the wedding was scheduled to occur, Germa 66, led by Vinsmoke Ichiji and Vinsmoke Niji, put an end to a two-year civil war on Broc Coli Island within four hours, in exchange for an undisclosed payment.[12]

    Meanwhile, the rest of Germa 66's forces and ships began to converge at Whole Cake Island, reassembling the Germa Kingdom in preparation for the wedding.[44] There, Sanji reunited with members of his family after 13 years of estrangement before being challenged to a duel by his father. During the duel, a crowd of Germa 66 agents watched on, cheering both sides on as the fight intensified.[45]

    The day before the wedding, the Germa soldiers gave Ichiji and Niji a hero's reception upon their return to the kingdom; in particular, they expressed their awe at the brothers' success in quelling the uprising in Broc Coli Island.[46] Later that day, following a confrontation between himself and Niji, Sanji went in pursuit of Niji, only to encounter Yonji. Yonji offered to take Sanji to Niji but instead led Sanji to a laboratory in a sequestered area of the Vinsmoke castle, inside of which a shocked Sanji discovered hundreds of Germa 66 soldiers being monitored inside liquid capsules.[47]

    Germa 66 were later seen escorting their commanding family to Whole Cake Chateau. During the procession, they were encountered by Luffy and Nami, who tried unsuccessfully to convince Sanji to leave with them. As Sanji and Luffy dueled, Germa's soldiers observed Sanji's Diable Jambe attacks in amazement.[48]

    After leaving Luffy and Nami behind, Germa 66 arrived at Big Mom's castle. The Vinsmoke Family then had their lunch meeting with Big Mom and Pudding.[49] After the meal, Big Mom took the Vinsmokes on a tour at her library.[50] The Vinsmokes were later given guest rooms, and Reiju went alone to investigate Pudding, who shot and captured her. Inside Pudding's room, Pudding revealed to Reiju about Big Mom's plot to assassinate the Vinsmoke Family during the wedding. She then altered Reiju's memories before sending her to the infirmary. Sanji, who had overheard Pudding, went to Reiju and revealed the truth to her.[51] Reiju decided to pretend to have no knowledge of the plot and tried to convince Sanji to leave.[52]

    On the day of the wedding, the soldiers at the Germa Kingdom commented on the impending wedding. Meanwhile, the Vinsmokes went to the wedding venue.[53] During the ceremony, Big Mom's plan to assassinate the Vinsmokes went awry when Pudding did not shoot Sanji as planned. After Katakuri tried and failed to kill Sanji, the Sanji Retrieval Team entered the venue and began causing chaos.[54] Perospero then restrained the Vinsmokes to their seats with candy as members of the Charlotte Family held them at gunpoint. However, after Luffy successfully caused Big Mom to start screaming, Sanji freed his family while the other Straw Hats provided them earplugs and their raid suits.[55]

    With the Big Mom Pirates beginning to recover from Big Mom's scream, the Vinsmokes donned their raid suits and aided the Sanji Retrieval Team in retreating to Bege's Big Father fortress by fending off the Big Mom Pirates.[56] Inside the fortress, the Vinsmokes decided to face off against Big Mom to give Sanji's friends and allies an opening to escape.[57] While they are soon overpowered by the Charlotte Family, an unexpected explosion triggers the collapse of Whole Cake Chateau and allows everyone, including the Vinsmokes, to escape.[58] With the exception of Sanji, the family fled the chateau and retreated back to their kingdom. After defeating the Big Mom Pirates squad sent after them, Niji tricked Mont-d'Or into thinking that Germa 66 had been crushed. They were then informed of the status of the Straw Hats, and Ichiji gave the order for Germa's ships to set sail.[59]

    Hours later, Germa 66 arrived at Cacao Island and attacked the Big Mom Pirates' fleet surrounding the island, rescuing Luffy and Sanji in the process.[60]

    As the battle raged on, the Big Mom Pirates brought anti-Germa bullets and used them to injure the Vinsmoke siblings.[61] When the Straw Hats finally escaped Totto Land, Germa 66 prepared to withdraw. However, Big Mom arrived at Cacao Island before they could retreat.[62]

    Entry settings

    The Germa Kingdom, also known as the Kingdom of Science (科学の国, Kagaku no Kuni?),[2] is the world's only seafaring kingdom, and a former member nation of the World Government.[3] About 300 years ago, it was the center of the Germa Empire (ジェルマ帝国, Jeruma Teikoku?),[4] which was formed by the Vinsmoke Family's conquest of the North Blue.[5] Today, the kingdom remains under Vinsmoke rule, and is serviced militarily as the Underworld army known as Germa 66.

    In an attempt to retake control of the North Blue, King Vinsmoke Judge bartered with the Emperor Big Mom to form an alliance between his kingdom and the Big Mom Pirates in exchange for the Germa Kingdom's advanced technology, and attempted to seal the pact by marrying off his estranged son, Sanji, to Big Mom's 35th daughter, Charlotte Pudding. The Germa Kingdom was assembled at Whole Cake Island in the New World,[1] but then later departed after Big Mom revealed her treachery. The World Government later disassociated themselves from the Germa Kingdom for attempting to ally themselves with the Big Mom Pirates.[6]

An Emotionless Excursion 7 Trivia 8 References 9 Site Navigation General Information Geography The Germa Kingdom was first mentioned by Vinsmoke Reiju, who describes it as "a nation without land."[5] Its "territory" is later shown to be comprised of platforms surrounded by railings that are built on the shells of large snails resembling Den Den Mushi. Those snails are seemingly unaffected by the salty sea and are strong enough to climb the Red Line.[7] These ships usually move independently, depending on the kingdom's activities at the time, but can be interlocked as they come together to form the kingdom's "proper shape." As a consequence, the size and the bounds of the kingdom's territory are constantly fluctuating, depending on how many of its ships are assembled at one time.[1]

    Privileges The Germa Kingdom was once a member nation within the World Government, which allows them the privileges of an affiliated kingdom; this includes the right to attend the Levely. The kingdom's royal family also has an unusual pull over the legal system, being able to affect the bounty system and to issue direct commands to the Marines.[5] However, after the incident in Totto Land, they lost all the privileges.[6]

    From Judge's statements, however, Germa's controversial activities have long threatened its membership within the World Government, and he expects the imminent loss of their right to attend the Levely as a result of their most recent activities.[3] True enough, the government has cut all ties with the Germa Kingdom due to their attempted alliance with Big Mom.

    Architecture The architecture of the Germa Kingdom resembles that of castles; every structure is a tower, a turret, a keep, or a complete castle. Many of the structures are topped by curving conical spires, which complement the outwardly-rounded walls of (some of) the structures. With the exception of trees and other vegetation, the entire kingdom appears to be constructed out of bricks and brick tiles, including the "ground" of the platforms suspended on the kingdom's ships. When various ships are reassembled back into the larger kingdom, the ships' masts and sails are lowered to allow different segments of the structures to be joined back together as well.[1]

    Despite the predominantly brick-based appearance of the kingdom's architecture, however, various rooms and laboratories contained within different structures are distinctly futuristic in appearance; such rooms are usually constructed out of metal.[8][9]

    Advertisement Landmarks Vinsmoke Castle The central, and largest, landmark in the kingdom is the Vinsmoke Family's royal castle, around which the other structures are assembled. It has five tall turrets, with the kingdom's flag flying from the top of the central turret. It normally rests on a group of 36 platforms, at least some of which can separate.

    Throne Room The Germa Kingdom throne room. The Germa Kingdom throne room.

    One of the largest rooms in the castle is the throne room, which is prominently adorned with militaristic decor, including a large spread-winged bird behind the royal throne itself. The Germa Kingdom's flag is visible behind the bird, and two large sea maps are hung up on either side of the throne. A chandelier hangs from the high ceiling, accompanied by dark vertical banners bearing the number "66" that run the full length of the room.

    Roughly in the room's center, at the base of the stairs leading up to the throne, is a table encircled by numbered chairs. Each Vinsmoke sibling has an allocated seat at the table, corresponding with their designated number.[3]

    Sanji's Room One of the rooms inside the castle - the one used to accommodate Sanji upon his return to the Kingdom - is a very large and spacious room containing a portrait of Vinsmoke Judge during the Conquest of Four Nations. It is located in the central turret of the castle, with a tall window and curtains that open onto a balcony overlooking the kingdom. The room is adorned with various other fittings and pieces of furniture, including tables, large chairs, numerous cupboards and drawers, mirrors, drapes, candelabras and chandeliers, and potted plants.[10][11]

    Medical Ward The medical ward is located on the outskirts of the castle grounds. Its only known patient was the kingdom's late queen, Sora, who was attended to by Époni and visited by Sanji and Reiju.[12]

    Soldier Stock Depot The Germa Kingdom's secret laboratory The Germa Kingdom's secret laboratory

    The Soldier Stock Depot (兵士のストック倉庫デポ, Heishi no Sutokkudepo?), located in the depths of Vinsmoke Castle, within which Germa 66's scientists work. It contains a multitude of numbered, liquid-filled capsules, each containing a Germa 66 Clone Soldiers (複製クローン兵, Kurōn Hei?).[9] It is most likely a relatively recent addition to the castle, since the scientific discovery used in the cloning process was a recent discovery of Judge and the World Government scientist Vegapunk.[13]

    The laboratory is highly secretive and off-limits to everyone except the kingdom's scientists and members of the Vinsmoke Family. Yonji mentioned that even the royal children were not permitted entry during their childhood, and an adult Sanji was shocked to discover what was contained inside the depot.[9]

    Advertisement Dungeon The castle has a dungeon where Sanji was held as a child for 6 months. It is reached after descending a long flight of winding stairs.[14]

    Yonji Castle One of the kingdom's independent towers is named "Yonji Castle" (ヨンジ城, Yonji-jō?); as the name suggests, it is the residence of the kingdom's fourth prince, Vinsmoke Yonji. His fortress is made of his own individual ship[15] and is later assembled at the Germa Kingdom platform.[1] He is seen recovering there after his fight with Sanji. The fortress has an infirmary containing a device called "the Press Machine."[8]

    Advertisement Royal Family The Germa Kingdom is ruled by the Vinsmoke Family, whose patriarch, Vinsmoke Judge, is the reigning king; his wife, the late queen Sora, is deceased. Unusually among royal families, the Vinsmokes are also the commanders of their nation's military, Germa 66, leading them directly in combat and other mercenary situations.[16]

    Germa 66 The majority of the citizens in the Germa Kingdom are predominantly-male soldiers who comprise Germa 66. Most of those soldiers are clones of former exceptional soldiers, created using the Vinsmokes' technological capabilities.[13]

    Others All other known citizens of the kingdom are servants who work directly in the employ of the ruling family. This includes handmaidens,[10] cooking staff headed by Cosette,[17] and medical staff who work in the medical ward.[12] There are also scientists who work on the Soldier Depot in the castle's secret laboratory. One particular scientist also served as Judge's personal aide in observing and supervising the training regimen of the Vinsmoke siblings in their childhood.[18]

    Transportation Fleet An individual Germa 66 ship, specifically Yonji Castle. An individual Germa 66 ship, specifically Yonji Castle.

    Each of the snails that carry a part of the kingdom double as a ship. There are two masts at the top of each ship, which carry large black sails bearing the number "66." Their shell is modified, having docking knobs for when the ships reassemble the kingdom, which resembles two portholes on each side. The platform is surrounded by a railing.[15] Each ship appears to be at least three times as wide as the Thousand Sunny.[19] When gathered together, these snail ships will either remain in their shells or socialize with one another.[20]

    When fully formed, the entire ship that carries the kingdom is known as the Saint Germain (セント・ジェルマン号, Sento Jeruman-gō?).[21][22]

    The Vinsmoke Family is shown riding in a "Cat Carriage" (猫車, Nyasha?), which is carried by Nyasha, on their way to a meeting with Charlotte Linlin and her daughter on the day before the latter and the Vinsmoke's third son's wedding day. The carriage is large enough to carry six thrones and tall enough so that Judge could stand up straight in it. The carriage is decorated with the kingdom's symbol and has a Garuda figure on its roof.[23]

    The carriage is missing its left door after Luffy pursued and tried to persuade Sanji to leave with him, and Sanji instead kicked Luffy away (including the door he was hanging on to).[24]

    History Past Judge in the Conquest of Four Nations. Judge in the Conquest of Four Nations.

    About 300 years ago, the Germa Kingdom was at the center of the Germa Empire, which spanned the entire North Blue for 66 days.[26] Since its loss, the kingdom's ruling family has made extensive efforts to regain their empire, with the current king leading Germa 66 in an infamous event known as the Conquest of Four Nations. While the details of the event are unknown, he was photographed standing over four vanquished North Blue kings.[10]

    At some point in the past, Judge married Sora, thereby making her queen consort of the Germa Kingdom. She gave birth to the kingdom's sole princess, Vinsmoke Reiju, before later giving birth to its four princes, including Sanji; at the time of the sons' birth twenty-one years ago, the kingdom was located in the North Blue. Due to drugs she took prior to the birth of her sons, Sora became gravely ill, spending the remainder of her life bedridden in the medical ward before passing away.[27]

    Sanji spent his childhood in the Germa Kingdom up until the age of 8, during which time Judge put his children through a stringent training regimen and monitored their progress.[18] The last 6 months of Sanji's life in Germa were spent in the dungeon of the royal castle, where his father had ordered him to be imprisoned as his way of erasing Sanji's existence from his life. Judge also staged a state funeral for his third son, informing the rest of the kingdom (including his other children) that Sanji had died in a shipwreck.[28]

    Germa Kingdom crosses the Red Line. Germa Kingdom crosses the Red Line.

    Thirteen years ago, Germa 66 accepted a contract to invade and defeat the island of Cozia in the East Blue. As the Kingdom crossed over the Red Line from the North Blue into the East Blue, Reiju freed Sanji from his cell and helped her younger brother escape the Kingdom. While Judge caught Sanji trying to flee, Judge allowed Sanji to leave on the condition that Sanji never associate himself with the Vinsmoke name ever again. With Reiju's help, Sanji successfully made his escape on board a cruise ship docked on Cozia's coast.[29]

    Advertisement Whole Cake Island Saga Whole Cake Island Arc At some point after Sanji left the Germa Kingdom to begin a new life in the East Blue, the Vinsmoke and Charlotte families entered into a political alliance.[5] As part of this agreement, a wedding was arranged between the Vinsmoke Family's third son and the Charlotte Family's 35th daughter to tie the two families' bloodlines, which was only held thirteen years later, as the Vinsmoke Family was unsuccessful in finding their third son, Sanji, who had been living in the Baratie, keeping himself under a low profile. Only through the connections of the Big Mom pirates, especially after Capone Bege cornered Sanji with the consequences of his mentor's gruesome death for refusal to attend the wedding, did Sanji return to his homeland. In anticipation of the wedding, the Germa Kingdom began gradually converging in Lake Aprico on Whole Cake Island.

    A few days prior to the wedding, Sanji returned to his home nation, where he reunited with his younger brother, sister, and father after 13 years of estrangement. After rebuking both Yonji's and Reiju's attempts to pressure him into accepting the arranged marriage, Judge challenged Sanji to settle their issues with a physical fight.[10] At the conclusion of the duel, which took place in a courtyard outside the Vinsmoke castle, Judge explained to Sanji the purpose of the alliance with Big Mom and had Reiju strap (fake) exploding wristlets onto Sanji's arms to force him to cooperate with the wedding.[30]

    On the day before the wedding, Vinsmoke Ichiji and Vinsmoke Niji returned to the Germa Kingdom after executing their mission on Broc Coli Island.[31] The reunited Vinsmokes proceeded to discuss their political affairs while dining within their throne room, but the discussion quickly disintegrated into a confrontation between Sanji and the other members of the family.[3] After the meal, Sanji found Cosette (the head of the royal household's kitchen staff, whose food had indirectly caused the confrontation) badly beaten in the castle. Swearing revenge against Niji, Sanji encountered Yonji, who led Sanji to the laboratory containing Germa 66's clone army.[9] There, they were joined by Ichiji and Niji, who (along with Yonji) proceeded to attack Sanji.[32]

    Following the assault, Reiju found a battered Sanji in the laboratory. She ordered Germa's scientists to leave Sanji in her care before taking him back to his room.[33] After Reiju treated Sanji's injuries,[11] the entire royal family was seen off by their cheering citizens as they proceeded to Whole Cake Chateau for the pre-wedding gift exchange ceremony.[23]

    It is later revealed that the wedding was all part of Big Mom's plan to assassinate the Vinsmoke Family in order to gain access to the kingdom's cloning technology.[34] However, after the assassination plan was thwarted during the wedding ceremony,[35] the Vinsmokes (with the exception of Sanji) were able to successfully escape back to their kingdom.[36] Nusstorte's squad pursued them, but they were utterly defeated. After Niji tricked Mont-d'Or into revealing the status of the Straw Hats, Ichiji gave the order for Germa's ships to set sail.[37]

    Hours later, the Germa Kingdom's forces arrived at Cacao Island and attacked the Big Mom Pirates' fleet surrounding the island, rescuing Luffy and Sanji in the process.[38] While his children fought the forces on land, Judge orchestrated his men to attack the pursuers at sea.[39] After Luffy and Sanji were safe on the Sunny, Judge tried to understand what Luffy sees in Sanji, whom he believes to be a useless failure, and was irritated when Luffy took his criticism as compliments for the chef.[40] As the battle raged on, the Big Mom Pirates brought anti-Germa bullets and used them to injure the Vinsmoke siblings. This, along with Big Mom's return to normal, gave the Big Mom Pirates the upper hand.[41]

    When the Straw Hats finally escaped Totto Land, Germa 66 prepared to withdraw. However, Big Mom arrived at Cacao Island before they could retreat.[42]

    Appearance As noted by the Straw Hats, Yonji heavily resembles his older brother Sanji. He has almost identical facial features, including the distinctive curly eyebrows that resemble the numeral 6 common to the Vinsmoke siblings. However, his hair is green and slicked back into a cowlick, his eyebrows curl in the inverse direction (both face the left side of his face), and he lacks facial hair. He is also more muscular than his brothers, who all have comparatively slim builds, and notably taller than them despite being the youngest child.

    When commanding the forces of Germa 66, Yonji wears a green raid suit, comprising a shirt bearing the number "66" in gold, and a black hooded cloak bearing a green "4" on the left. He wears a striped belt with the Germa 66 symbol as a belt buckle, metal gloves, an orange ascot, sunglasses, and black earphones on the top of his head.[2] When outside of his combat attire, Yonji wears a light-colored short sleeved shirt with a frilled collar, along with a striped belt and plain black pants. For formal functions, he also wears a dark floor-length, single-shoulder royal cape with an upturned collar and a neck clasp.[8]

    During the Tea Party, Yonji changed into a green suit, comprised of a double-breasted jacket over a white collared shirt, green pants, and brown gloves. He also wore a white royal cape similar to the one he was wearing previously, but shorter, light-colored, and clasped together with two chains.[9] Once chaos broke out, Yonji changed back into his raid suit.[10]

    As a child, Yonji's hair was styled with a small cowlick on top of his head. He also wore a light green shirt with the number "4" on it, an orange bandana around his neck, white pants, and brown boots.[4]

    Advertisement Personality Yonji has been described as callous and stingy, refusing to help a dying Luffy and challenging the Straw Hats to plunder the Germa 66 ship for the cure for Luffy's condition. His elder sister, Reiju, claimed that he was rotten to the core. Yonji seems to take amusement in instigating or observing conflict, as he offered to lead Sanji to Niji for a fight with a smile and acted similarly when he tried to goad the Straw Hats into attacking him. He is also proud, getting angry at Reiju when she humiliated him in front of the Straw Hats.[11] This proud nature was in evidence again when, upon suffering defeat at Sanji's hands, Yonji was infuriated and swore to make the former pay for his actions.[12]

    Since birth, Yonji is incapable of sympathy and empathy due to the genetic modifications done by his father.[13] As a child, Yonji took part in bullying Sanji, joining his two eldest brothers in mercilessly beating and mocking Sanji's compassion in preparing food for others. This shows that he neither tolerates nor values any such trait, which he believed was worthless to royals. In the present day, Sanji claims that, despite his hopes to the contrary, all of the members of his family have only gotten worse with time.[14] Like several other members of his family, Yonji appears to be arrogant (to the point of being delusional), believing he could defeat Luffy even though he was defeated by Sanji. Furthermore, after Big Mom revealed her treachery, Yonji was unmoved even by the prospect of his own death, laughing at the desperation of their situation.[15]

    Despite his arrogance and cruel nature, Yonji has a strong sense of appreciation and gratitude, as after Sanji saved his life, Yonji repaid the favor by helping to protect his allies, namely Carrot from Daifuku and saved Sanji and Luffy from an ambush by the Big Mom Pirate's allowing them both to escape from Cacao Island.[16]

    Yonji is also very mindful of his family's affairs, deciding to not get involved with the Straw Hats in order to ensure that Sanji's wedding would not be jeopardized.[17] He also tried to reprimand Sanji after hearing that Sanji was refusing to cooperate with their family's plans for an alliance with Big Mom.[18]

    As Nami observed, Yonji, like his older brother Sanji, exhibits lecherous qualities. He is immediately struck by Nami's beauty, and is seen ogling Nami's bounty poster when Germa 66 depart from their brief meeting with the Straw Hats.[19] After witnessing Nami slapping Sanji, he exclaims that he is into her fiery personality.[20] Furthermore, like Sanji, he has also been shown to allow his lust to cloud his better judgement; he absentmindedly expresses his desire to marry Charlotte Pudding himself due to her beauty, prompting Ichiji and Niji to remind him that marrying into her family would not bode well for them.

    Vinsmoke Judge Yonji is very respectful towards his father as he was quick to scold Sanji for defying the wishes of their father and not marry Pudding[21]. In return, Judge expressed concern for his youngest son when asking Sanji what he did to Yonji. Like with his two oldest sons, Judge considers Yonji one of his "precious" sons and refused to consider having Yonji marry one of Big Mom's daughters.[22] However, when the Vinsmokes were being held at gunpoint, Yonji and his two brothers remained calm and seem content with their imminent fate as Judge panicked and retorted something was wrong with them. Ironically, his father was responsible for his incapacity to feel emotion.[23]

    Regardless of his lack of emotions, Yonji did try to go to his father's aid after Big Mom struck him down.[24] When the Whole Cake Chateau collapsed, Yonji and Niji saved their unconscious father and carried him away from the destruction.[25]

    Vinsmoke Sora While she was pregnant with Yonji and his brothers, Yonji's mother consumed a dangerous drug in an attempt to prevent him from losing his emotional capacity. However, Judge's surgery was a success on Yonji, and Sora subsequently died from the drug's aftereffects during Yonji's early childhood.[26] Nothing else is known about their relationship while Sora was still alive.

    Vinsmoke Reiju Yonji seems to have typical sibling relationship with his elder sister, despite their royal setting. In their childhood, Reiju did mind Yonji bullying Sanji but laughed at it, so he would not bully her. Yonji was angry when she humiliated him by kicking him off their ship and calling him a "stingy idiot" after he refused to help the Straw Hats. Despite all this, the two are united with following their father's orders as they did nothing to halt the Straw Hats knowing that it would potentially stop Sanji's wedding.

    Unbeknownst to Yonji, Reiju secretly despises him along with the rest of their family (except Sanji) for their murderous ways and she intends to do nothing to stop the Big Mom Pirates from killing him, believing that there's no place in the world for any of them. Indeed, though she does pity Yonji and her other two brothers for the modifications Judge made to their emotions, she still dismisses them as "barely human" even as she waits to be killed alongside them by the Charlotte Family.[27]

    Advertisement Vinsmoke Ichiji Yonji gets along with his oldest brother, as he helped him in bullying Sanji when they were children. He also looked forward to the latter reuniting with Sanji when he and Niji arrived on Whole Cake Island.[28] He even smiled when Ichiji mocked Sanji by welcoming him back and reminding him of his status as a failure in their family.

    Vinsmoke Niji Yonji gets along with his second oldest brother as he helped him in bullying Sanji when they were children. He also looked forward to the latter reuniting with Sanji when he and Ichiji arrived on Whole Cake Island.[28] Later on, at a family meal, he laughed at Niji's mocking remarks directed at Sanji. Yonji did later suggest that Niji was the one responsible for beating up Cosette and offered to take a vengeful Sanji to him. However, he expressed nonchalantly that he does not object to the beating and simply saw it as a natural consequence of Sanji's actions. Yonji was also shocked and concerned when Sanji kicked Niji into a wall but then smiled when Niji overpowered Sanji by using the threats on Zeff's life. Later, he once again joins Niji in laughing at Sanji when he begins crying about leaving the Straw Hats behind.

    Sanji In the past, Yonji along with Ichiji and Niji took to bullying Sanji as they viewed him as a weakling and a disgrace to their family for his cooking which they believed was unfit for royals. He once expressed outright annoyance for Sanji's compassionate behavior once by angrily kicking Sanji's pet turtle and attacked Sanji when the latter grabbed him in retaliation. He even smiled when it was stated that Sanji "died" in an accident.[29] When he first visited Sanji in the Germa Kingdom's dungeon, his only reaction was a sadistic eagerness to make his father truly happy by making sure Sanji really dies.[30] His extreme disdain for his third older brother is shown when the Sanji Retrieval Team kept mistakenly calling him Sanji, as he angrily corrected them.

    Upon reuniting with his older brother after thirteen years, Yonji told off Sanji for defying their father only for Sanji to surprise him by overpowering Yonji, leaving him with a damaged face. Yonji was very surprised at Sanji's new strength, wondering how a "good for nothing" like Sanji managed to get the better of him and swore to get revenge on the latter.[31] When Ichiji and Niji arrived at Whole Cake Island, Yonji (with a devious grin) wondered about the look on Sanji's face when he sees their older brothers.[32] While dining with his family, Yonji burst out laughing when Niji informed Sanji that after he left the family, he and the other Vinsmoke brothers often thought about the amusing ways Sanji could have died while on his own. Yonji also offered to bring Sanji to Niji, due to suspecting the latter of being the one who supposedly beat the head chef Sanji defended.[33] However, Yonji instead took Sanji to a secret cloning room in the Germa Kingdom where he went on to explain the secret history of the Germa Kingdom before an uncomfortable Sanji cut him off. He was surprised to see Sanji kick Niji in the face but smiled after he was overpowered and watches as Ichiji tells him of his status as the failure in the family hierarchy.[34]

    Despite their history, Yonji was thrilled when Sanji verbally accepted his royal status and attacked and belittled Luffy. Shortly thereafter, he even offered to assist him in fighting Luffy and Nami. However, once Sanji inadvertently exposed his ruse by crying at Luffy's words, Yonji simply laughed at his anguish along with Niji. Yonji even laughed at the thought of him and the rest of his family being unaffected if Big Mom threatened Sanji's life. The night before the wedding, Yonji and his family shared a toast to Sanji for being useful while still insulting him.[35]

    After the Big Mom Pirates revealed their treachery towards the Vinsmokes, Yonji was confused to see Sanji dashing towards their table at the wedding venue and was shocked to see him selflessly saving their lives.[36] He then listens to Sanji's silent demand to save Nami, Chopper, and Carrot from the Charlotte Family without complaint or hesitation.[37] After retreating into Bege's castle, Yonji overheard the Straw Hats stating it was Sanji's wish to save them. He was silent and showed no expression when Sanji disowned their father again.[38] Yonji then joined his father and siblings in fighting the Big Mom Pirates to give Sanji and his friends an opening to escape.

    At Cacao Island, Yonji and his siblings once again came to Sanji's aid to ensure that he and his captain escape.[39]

    Advertisement Allies Straw Hat Pirates Yonji encountered the Straw Hat Pirates while they were on their way to retrieve Sanji from Whole Cake Island. Initially, the entire crew mistook him for Sanji due to their similar appearances, until he removed his hood and introduced himself; however, after he became lovestruck at seeing Nami, Chopper called him Sanji again (much to Yonji's irritation). Yonji also rebuffed the Straw Hats' requests to help them cure Luffy of his poisoning, challenging them to try and take the antidote from him by force like a pirate would. This caused the crew to note that, despite their similar appearances and lecherous streaks, Yonji was nothing like his brother.

    When Reiju eventually cured Luffy, Luffy thanked her but demanded that Germa return Sanji, causing Yonji to comment that she had saved the life of their enemy. Despite this, Yonji did nothing to halt the Straw Hats' progress, knowing that a confrontation would possibly jeopardize the imminent wedding.[40]

    Yonji encountered the Straw Hats again while he and his family were on their way to Big Mom's palace. He was amused to hear Sanji insult them and even offered to help him take care of the crew. After Sanji got slapped by Nami in anguish, Yonji was enthralled by her fiery behavior. Later in the Whole Cake Chateau, he expressed a desire to have Nami and hoped that Big Mom would give the navigator to them.

    Respecting Sanji's wishes to save the Vinsmokes from Big Mom's treachery, Luffy and his group assist him in rescuing his family at the wedding venue. As Big Mom screams, Chopper placed earplugs in their ears and Nami returned the Vinsmokes' raid suits to them.

    After being given back his raid suit, Yonji helped the Straw Hats in fighting off the Big Mom Pirates before they were forced to retreat in Bege's fortress.[41]

    Enemies Big Mom Pirates Big Mom deceived Yonji and his family in forming an alliance, but was secretly plotting to assassinate him and his family. When the Big Mom Pirates revealed their treachery at the wedding, Yonji remained calm in the face of imminent doom.

    After Sanji freed him, Yonji fought off the Big Mom Pirates to help Sanji's friends retreat into Bege's fortress. Yonji later decided to face Big Mom along with his family to provide an opening for Luffy and Bege's groups to escape and was easily defeated by the Emperor but was saved from death due to her palace toppling. At the Germa Kingdom, Yonji and his siblings easily overpowered the pursuers that were sent after his family. At Cacao Island, Yonji and his siblings aided Sanji and Luffy in their escape as a way of seeking payback against the Big Mom Pirates for their deception.[42]

    Advertisement Abilities and Powers Being part of the Vinsmoke Family, Yonji possesses political power over the Germa Kingdom, as well the World Government.[2] Unlike the members of most royal families, he (as well as his father and siblings) is also a commander of his kingdom's military, directly leading their forces in combat and other activities.[43]

    As a member of the Vinsmoke Family, Yonji also has access to the advanced technology developed by his family as well as their extravagant wealth.

    Yonji's father, Vinsmoke Judge, who has an extremely strict standard for strength, claimed that he was a formidable fighter. However, after a hostile encounter with Sanji, it is noted that his strength is inferior to his older brother's. While Sanji was visibly unharmed after their fight, Yonji's face was severely deformed and required treatment.[44]

    Yonji possesses a strong will, as he was able to withstand Big Mom's burst of Supreme King Haki and remained conscious from her loud scream.[45]

    Physical Abilities Like his other siblings, Yonji was given genetic enhancements which gave him great superhuman physical abilities. Judge's aide stated that Yonji's strength and agility had matured into the level of adult men by the time he was a young child. He possesses an outer skeleton which gives him a very strong degree of durability,[46] as he appeared largely unharmed by his sister Reiju's kick despite her using enough force to send him flying several meters away.[47] After his fight with Sanji, Yonji's face somehow became deformed as though it was a piece of dented metal; a doctor attempted to repair it appropriately, using first a hammer and then a machine press. Neither of these processes induced much pain or any injury in Yonji. He also has quick reaction speed, as he was able to put up a defense against Reiju's unexpected kick.[47] He has tremendous tolerance for alcohol, as he and his brothers continued to drink large quantities unaffected while the barmaids all fell intoxicated.[48] He also underwent extensive combat training to lead Germa 66 as a commander. Even Judge was surprised at Yonji's defeat as he considered Yonji a formidable fighter. When given back his raid suit, Yonji was able to subdue Charlotte Daifuku's genie, which had previously incapacitated Sanji (though this was due to it being a surprise attack).[45][49] Despite previously receiving injuries from Big Mom, Yonji, along with his siblings, was still strong enough to easily overpower the pursuers that were sent after his family.

    Winch Green Winch Green. Winch Green.

    Yonji's bodily modifications have given him the title Winch Green. He wears a device on his right forearm that acts as a winch, allowing him to extend his hand with a cable to grab faraway objects and opponents. His hand possesses immense punching and gripping strength, allowing him to shatter objects as large as Charlotte Yuen's massive staff orb and to grip the large heads of Yuen and Charlotte Daifuku's genie with overwhelming strength. It is unknown if his left arm has the same abilities.[50]

    Yonji was born on the same day as his three brothers, being the fourth son and youngest child of the Vinsmoke Family. Yonji and his siblings were informed as children that they had been given genetic enhancements, and Judge trained them from a very young age in order to develop their superhuman abilities. All of them but Sanji excelled at their exercises. Yonji, Ichiji, and Niji were initially irritated with Sanji's poor progress, but they eventually took pleasure bullying Sanji for his weakness as well as for acting "un-royally" and serving food to rats.[4][46]

    Eventually, Judge had Sanji locked in the Vinsmoke castle dungeon before staging a state funeral and informing the kingdom that Sanji had died in an accident. At the time, Yonji was gleeful to hear about his brother's supposed death.[46] Six months later, Yonji and his remaining siblings continued excelling in their training and were doted on by Judge. Yonji, Ichiji, and Niji occasionally visited Sanji in the dungeon just to continue with their bullying.[30]

    After Sanji ran away from the family, Yonji and his brothers often thought of the amusing ways he might have died while out on his own.[55]

    Advertisement Whole Cake Island Saga Whole Cake Island Arc Yonji first encountered Luffy's Sanji Retrieval Team right after they entered Big Mom's waters.[1] Luffy's group mistook him for Sanji until Yonji revealed otherwise. Once he saw Nami, he became love-struck. Seeing that the Thousand Sunny was not the ship Sanji was on, Yonji was about to leave. Chopper called out to him, still calling him Sanji, much to Yonji's annoyance. Chopper begged for an antidote to Luffy's poisoning, but Yonji taunted the group to try to take it by force. His sister, Reiju, appeared and kicked Yonji for his rudeness. After Reiju cured Luffy of his condition, Yonji and Reiju left the Sanji retrieval team alone without making a scene. They also decided to pretend that they never saw the Straw Hats to prevent Sanji's marriage from being called off. He returned to his ship, eyeballing Nami's wanted poster.[56]

    At some point upon arriving at Whole Cake Island, Yonji reunited with Sanji where the two had a hostile encounter with Yonji trying to force Sanji to comply with their father's wishes. In response, Sanji then overpowered Yonji in a fight,[44] damaging his face in the process. While getting his face treated, Yonji expressed his surprise and bitterness over this defeat at the hands of a former weakling. Once his face was fixed, Yonji cursed his brother and swore to get his revenge.[57]

    On the day before the wedding, Yonji expressed excitement at the prospect of a reunion between his three older brothers, as Ichiji and Niji disembarked at Whole Cake Island.[28]

    Yonji, Ichiji, and Niji overpower Sanji. Yonji, Ichiji, and Niji overpower Sanji.

    Sometime later, Yonji was having a meal with his father and siblings. He was amused when Niji informed Sanji that when he left the family, he and the other Vinsmoke brothers often thought about the humorous ways he could have died while on his own. He was silent when Sanji voiced his contempt for their family's ways and exited the dining hall while Judge was coercing Sanji by threatening Zeff's life. When Sanji suspected Niji for severely injuring the head chef, Yonji offered to take him to their brother. Yonji then led him to a room filled with large containers containing Germa soldiers.[58] As Sanji stared at the Germa soldiers, Yonji explained to him about their father's past partnership with Vegapunk, the research they were conducting, and that the soldiers are actually cloned humans. Ichiji and Niji appeared shortly afterward and Yonji was shocked when Sanji immediately attacked Niji out of anger. However, Yonji smiled when Niji knocked Sanji down and Ichiji reminded Sanji about his inferior status in the family.[46] After injuring Sanji further, Yonji, Ichiji, and Niji then left the cloning chamber.[30]

    Yonji later departed the Germa Kingdom with his father and siblings and head for Big Mom's castle in his family's carriage.[59] On the way, they encountered Luffy and Nami, much to Yonji's surprise. Upon seeing Nami again, Yonji gazed at her in a love-struck manner. When Sanji coldly turned down Luffy's request to return with him, Yonji laughed at this turn of events. As Luffy refused to listen to Sanji, Yonji was about to deal with the Straw Hat captain; but, Sanji stopped him, volunteering to handle Luffy himself.[60] Yonji smiled as Sanji continued to reject Luffy and Nami and then severely beat Luffy by repeatedly kicking him. After knocking Luffy down, Sanji returned to the carriage and the Vinsmoke Family continued on to the Whole Cake Chateau. When Luffy declared that he would wait for Sanji, Yonji laughed in amusement alongside Niji.[20]

    As the carriage approached Big Mom's castle, Yonji expressed amusement at watching an army marching towards Luffy and Nami's location. After arriving at the castle, Yonji and his family had a meal with Big Mom and Pudding.[61] Sometime after the lunch meeting, Big Mom took the Vinsmoke Family (except Sanji) to her library and showed them her collection of rare creatures stored in books.[62]

    After the tour, Yonji, Judge, Niji, and Ichiji had a private discussion in the Vinsmoke guest room where Judge told his sons that Pudding would be living with them on Germa Kingdom after the wedding so they could use her as leverage against Big Mom. When Niji asked if Big Mom would use a similar tactic, Ichiji told Niji that it would not have any effect on the Vinsmoke Family if Sanji's life was threatened. Yonji agreed while laughing in amusement.[63] Later that night, Yonji, Ichiji, Niji, and Judge celebrated the anticipated sealing of their alliance with Big Mom. While they drank, they toasted to Sanji for being useful while still referring to him as a failure.[64]

    On the day of the ceremony, Yonji was told to wake up by Niji in order to prepare. Later on, as the Vinsmokes made their way to the venue for the ceremony, he asked Reiju where she was the previous night and was told that she had requested another room to get away from their raucous drinking and celebrations.[9]

    Once the tea party began, the Vinsmoke Family partook in the festivities with Yonji savoring some of the surrounding treats.[65] After Sanji and Pudding arrived at the venue, the Vinsmokes took their seats and watched the exchange of vows. Yonji commented that Sanji was lucky to have a beautiful woman as a bride. He also remarked that he would not mind marrying the woman himself, but his brothers reminded him on what it means to marry one of Big Mom's children. He and his family were soon alerted when Katakuri unintentionally shot the priest when trying to assassinate Sanji.[66]

    After Brook destroyed the picture of Carmel, the Vinsmoke Family found themselves restrained to their seats with members of the Charlotte Family holding them at gunpoint. As Judge cried out in anguish at Big Mom's betrayal, Yonji casually commented that their own weapons and raid suits were taken before they entered the venue.[67] Moments later, he saw Sanji trying to approach them and wondered what his brother was doing. When Big Mom began to scream, Yonji managed to stay conscious as his family's captors began falling all around them. Yonji was then given earplugs by Chopper and was surprised when Sanji arrived and freed him by shattering the hardened candy around his body while Nami gave him his raid suit.[68]

    As the Charlotte Family resumed their efforts to kill the Vinsmoke Family, Yonji and his siblings put on their raid suits. Yonji then rescued Carrot by tackling Daifuku's genie, before retreating into Bege's fortress.[69]

    As Bege's fortress was suffering damage from Big Mom's attacks, the Vinsmoke Family decided to exit Bege and fight Big Mom in order to give the alliance an opening to escape.[70] In the ensuing confrontation against the Big Mom Pirates, Perospero attempted to use candy wall to block Caesar Clown as he was carrying Bege and everyone inside him. Yonji, Niji, and Ichiji combined their attacks to destroy the candy wall, allowing Caesar to pass through. When Judge went down after clashing with Big Mom, Yonji and Niji then rushed towards their father's aid, but they were soon overwhelmed and caught by Big Mom herself. However, before she can execute them, the Tamatebako dropped to the base of the Whole Cake Chateau and the bomb inside the chest exploded, causing the entire castle to collapse.[71] As the castle fell, Yonji and Niji carried their father to safety.[72]

    Back at the Germa Kingdom, the Vinsmoke siblings defeated the pursuit team that went after them. After Niji contacted Mont-d'Or and tricked him into thinking that Germa 66 was crushed, they were informed of the direction the Straw Hats were heading. Ichiji then told his siblings to set sail.[73]

    As the battle raged on, the Big Mom Pirates brought anti-Germa bullets and used them to injure Ichiji and his siblings.[75] Despite those injuries, Yonji kept fighting. When the Straw Hats finally escaped Totto Land, Germa 66 prepared to withdraw. However, Big Mom arrived at Cacao Island before they could retreat.[76]

Charlotte Oven later closed the book and carried it through the Mirro-World to Whole Cake Island. Oven then left the book open so Prim, Brownie, Kato, and Anana could experiment on the brothers.[79]

While escaping, the siblings came across Caesar.[80] Katakuri and Oven then arrived and attacked the Vinsmokes; however, Caesar released a poison gas that caused the Charlotte siblings to fight each other.

    Vinsmoke Niji,[8] also known as "Dengeki Blue",[5] is the second son and third child of the Vinsmoke Family. He is a prince of the Germa Kingdom and a commander in its military army, Germa 66.[1][2]

    Due to his actions, he is a major antagonist during the first half of the Whole Cake Island Arc. However, he and his family became allies of the Straw Hat Pirates and the Fire Tank Pirates after realizing Big Mom deceived and intended to assassinate them.

    He is also one of the central characters in Germa 66's Ahh... An Emotionless Excursion Cover Page Serial.

    The video player is currently playing an ad. You can skip the ad in 5 sec with a mouse or keyboard Appearance Niji has blue-colored hair and curly eyebrows. Like all the Vinsmoke siblings, his distinctive curly eyebrows form a spiral that resemble the numeral 6. He has a similar build to his brother Ichiji, being slim with long legs and standing close to him in height. His hair is groomed into a very large, curved partition across the right side of his face, ending in three prominent spikes.

    While commanding the forces of Germa 66, he wears a dark blue raid suit, including a black cape bearing a blue "2", dark goggles over his eyes, gold-colored gauntlets, and an aqua ascot around his neck. A set of horns extend upwards from his pair of orange and red earphones, and his belt bears a buckle with a prominent lightning bolt design.[1] Outside of his raid suit, Niji wears a light-colored buttoned shirt with a tie, as well as dark pants belted with a slimmer version of the belt he wears with his Germa gear.[9] For formal functions, he also wears a dark floor-length, single-shoulder royal cape with an upturned collar and a neck clasp.[10]

    During the Tea Party, Niji changed into a blue suit, comprised of a double-breasted jacket and pants, a baby blue cravat, and brown gloves. He also wore a white royal cape similar to the one he was wearing previously, but shorter, light-colored, and clasped together with two chains.[11] When chaos broke out, he changed back into his raid suit.[12]

    As a child, Niji wore a light blue shirt with the number "2" on it, white pants, brown boots, a light blue bandana around his neck, and a pair of smaller goggles. His hair was styled in the same manner as it is in the present, although it was much shorter.[6] In the anime, the bottom of his head was also shaved short as a child, creating an undercut style.

    Advertisement Personality Like most members of his family, Niji is proud of his royal status, looking down upon and even abusing commoners and servants. He also expresses disgust at his brother Sanji's displays of kindness towards such individuals. Accustomed to wealth and luxury, he does not see the importance of food as Sanji does, refusing to eat a plate of aligot for what he believes to be its unappetizing appearance, and planning to discard the food into the trash.[13]

    Since birth, Niji has lacked the ability to feel empathy and sympathy due to the genetic modifications done by his father.[14] He had no qualms about inflicting pain on servants, as shown when he attacked the head chef and even sarcastically stated that he would have avoided her face if he had known that Sanji cared for her. He is outspoken and quick to anger, as he was easily provoked by Sanji's insults, and voiced his irritation at seeing that Sanji had failed to greet him and Ichiji upon their return to the Germa Kingdom. He has also exhibited petty and vindictive behaviors, as he was willing to throw a plate at an innocent chef's face simply because Sanji defended her. Furthermore, Niji's emotional detachment is so strong that he was unmoved by even the prospect of his own death, as well as that of his family. After realizing they had been tricked, Niji remained calm, saying simply that they set their sights too high before laughing at their quandary.[15]

    While on missions, Niji is serious and business-minded, making sure to collect Germa 66's commissions after performing their mercenary services.[1] Unlike his sister Reiju, who displayed an interest in the philosophical issue of whether war or fractured peace was preferable, Niji dismissed her musings by stating that the Germa is only ever concerned with who was willing and able to pay them the most money.[16] Despite his own cruelty, Niji did express slight disdain for Big Mom's habits of keeping humans trapped in books, showing that he does have some small degree of moral understanding.[17]

    Like his brothers, Niji shares a lecherous streak, as he became lovestruck and drooled when he first saw Nami.[18] Later, he expressed disappointment at the barmaids Big Mom had sent to them, and expressed a desire to negotiate for Nami's release into their custody. Despite his lecherous tendencies, however, he does have a certain degree of self-control. Unlike Yonji, he is able to overlook Charlotte Pudding's beauty and point out that marrying into the Charlotte Family would not bode well for them.[19]

    Despite his arrogance and cruel nature, Niji does have a strong sense of appreciation and gratitude, as after Sanji saved his life, Niji wasted no time in repaying Sanji by saving some of his crewmates from being killed by the Big Mom Pirates, an act that strongly contradicts his engineered apathy.[20] This is shown again when he showed concern for his sister when Big Mom targeted her and attempted to kill her. Niji even tried going back to save her before Ichiji told him to leave her behind.[21] Niji also did not hesitate to rush to his father's aid after he was struck down by Big Mom.[22] Later on, at Cacao Island, he personally escorted Sanji and Luffy to safety, narrowly saving his brother from being bombarded by a missile. While he saved his brother, he still called him a "good-for nothing" but in a joking manner.[23]

    Niji has proven himself to be extremely cunning when the situation calls for it. He imitated Nusstorte's voice after he and his siblings defeated the army of Big Mom Pirates sent after them, and completely convinced Mont-d'Or that the Germa Kingdom had been crushed.

    Vinsmoke Judge Niji's father highly values his "beloved" second son. He approved of Niji bullying Sanji as a child, and refused to consider marrying him off to one of Big Mom's daughters even to seal a powerful political alliance.[24] However, Niji does disregard his father's order to not injure Sanji before his wedding, as he goes on to beat him along with Ichiji and Yonji.[25]

    When the Big Mom Pirates betrayed them, Niji laughed at the fact that they fell for the trap as the family were held at gunpoint. This caused a panicking Judge to ironically state that there was something wrong with the three brothers, who were nonchalant about death.[15]

    Despite this, Niji showed concern for his father when the latter was struck by Big Mom and went back to help him.[22] When the Whole Cake Chateau collapsed, Niji and Yonji saved their unconscious father and carried him away from the destruction.[26]

    Vinsmoke Sora While she was pregnant with Niji and his brothers, Niji's mother consumed a dangerous drug in an attempt to prevent him from losing his emotional capacity. However, Judge's surgery was a success on Niji, and Sora subsequently died from the drug's aftereffects during Niji's early childhood.[14] Nothing else is known about their relationship while Sora was still alive.

    Advertisement Vinsmoke Reiju As of yet, not much is known about Niji's relationship with his elder sister. Reiju was seen smiling at his return to the Germa Kingdom, implying that their relationship is friendly at the very least.[27]

    However, unbeknownst to Niji, Reiju secretly despises him along with the rest of their family (except Sanji) for their murderous ways and she intends to do nothing to stop the Big Mom Pirates from killing him, believing that there's no place in the world for any of them. Indeed, though she does pity Niji and her other two brothers for the modifications Judge made to their emotions, she still dismisses them as "barely human" even as she waits to be killed alongside them by the Charlotte Family.[15] Later, when facing against Big Mom, Niji tried to help a targeted Reiju, before Ichiji told him to leave her behind, which Niji complied.[28]

    Vinsmoke Ichiji Niji appears to get along well with his older brother, alongside whom he has co-commanded Germa 66 forces in combat situations.[24] Despite his confrontational behavior, Niji was compliant with Ichiji's order to pipe down after Sanji failed to greet them upon their arrival to the kingdom.[1]

    Sanji As a child, Niji, alongside Ichiji and Yonji, used to bully Sanji for his "un-royal" habit of cooking.[6] Like his brothers, Niji took pleasure in giving Sanji a serious beating. Once during a training regimen, Niji gleefully attacked his younger brother mercilessly and only stopped when a Germa soldier held him back. When he heard that Sanji "died" in an accident, he was the only one who seemed curious over whether this was true.[29][30] After finding out Sanji was alive, he continued to bully him alongside Ichiji and Yonji.

    Thirteen years later, he expressed annoyance at the fact that Sanji did not greet himself and Ichiji upon their return to the Germa Kingdom. As for Sanji, he trembled slightly at their return, implying that Sanji may retain traumatic memories from their abuse.[27]

    After reuniting with Sanji, Niji mocks him by voicing his surprise at the fact that Sanji ultimately proved to be of use to their family. He also tells Sanji that, in his absence, the brothers had often speculated on the various amusing ways and place in which Sanji may have died while living on his own. While Sanji was indifferent and largely unfazed to this mockery, the two brothers did engage in a major argument immediately afterwards over their different attitudes towards food and respect for commoners. Though he does acknowledge Sanji as his brother, he was disgusted and enraged by the fact that somebody who shares his blood could be so kind to non-royalty as well eating scraps from the floor, even to the point where he's willing to attack him for it. When he was restrained by their father, Niji told Sanji he brought nothing but shame to their family as Sanji stated by being affiliated with them brought shame to him.[13] Sanji also wanted to confront Niji for supposedly beating Cosette after he defended her from him earlier.[31] While in the Germa lab, Ichiji and Niji found Sanji and mocked him for still being pathetic despite their hopes. However, when Sanji saw Niji again, he immediately kicked him in the face, determined to make him pay for his actions and succeeded in dislocating Niji's jaw but Niji fixed his face and overpowered Sanji by using his "weakness" against him. Niji joined Ichiji and Yonji in "welcoming" Sanji back to the family before brutally beating Sanji while he laid on the floor unable to fight back because of their leverage over him.[32]

    Like his brothers, he was pleased and amused when Sanji attacked and insulted Luffy despite their friendship, as he can be seen grinning widely at Sanji's comments. However, once Sanji cried at Luffy's words, Niji simply patted on his shoulder and laughed at his anguish along with Yonji.[33]

    Niji stated he was looking forward to Sanji living with the family again after Judge explained his intent to take Pudding with them to the Germa Kingdom.[34] Niji later joined his family in patronizingly toasting Sanji for being useful.[35]

    After the Big Mom Pirates revealed their treachery towards the Vinsmokes, Niji was dumbfounded to see Sanji save him from certain death at the wedding venue.[36] Though he maintains a grim expression, he, along with his brothers, repaid Sanji by voluntarily saving Nami, Chopper, and Carrot from the Big Mom Pirates before retreating to Bege's castle.[37]

    Inside the castle, Niji overheard the Straw Hats stating that it was Sanji's wish to save them and showed no expression when Sanji disowned their father. He joined his family in fighting off the Big Mom Pirates to give Sanji's friends an opportunity to escape.[38] Niji and his other siblings once again came to Sanji's aid at Cacao Island to ensure he and his captain escape.[39] When Sanji had discovered a Raid Suit was slipped into Luffy's pocket, the cook had conjectured that the device came from Niji; Sanji had a strong antipathetic response to the consignment as he felt that it was a form of derision by Niji.

    Advertisement Vinsmoke Yonji Niji's youngest brother used to accompany him and Ichiji as they bullied Sanji, showing that they at least got along. He was also excited at the prospect of a confrontational reunion between Niji, Ichiji, and Sanji.[27] Yonji tends to laugh hysterically at Niji's various rude comments and jokes about Sanji just as he did when they were children, and on one occasion, they both share a laugh at his expense after witnessing him crying.

    Subordinates Niji's subordinates in Germa 66 revere him as one of their commanders, cheering him and Ichiji as they returned from their brief campaign in Broc Coli Island.[27] As a member of their royal family, each soldier is also willing to lay down their life for Niji if commanded to do so.[40]

    Niji has no respect in the slightest for servants and commoners and seems to enjoy abusing them, as he threw a plate at Cosette's face and was furious when Sanji intervened.[13] He also showed no remorse when telling Sanji that he was indeed the one who brutally attacked Cosette, even joking that he would beat her anywhere but her face if he knew Sanji cared for her.

    Enemies Big Mom Pirates Big Mom deceived Niji and his family in forming an alliance, but was secretly plotting to assassinate him and his family. When the Big Mom Pirates revealed their treachery at the wedding, Niji (because of his lack if emotion) remained calm in the face of imminent doom, even going as far as to laugh at falling for the trap, much to his father's fury.[15]

    After Sanji freed him, Niji fought off the Big Mom Pirates to help Sanji's friends retreat into Bege's fortress.[41] Niji later decided to face Big Mom along with his family to provide an opening for Luffy and Bege's groups to escape.[38] Niji did not hesitate to rush to confront the Emperor after his father was struck down by her. After he was overpowered, Big Mom nearly executed him but was interrupted when the Tamatebako exploded, causing the Chateau to collapse.[42]

    When the Big Mom Pirates invaded Germa, Niji and his family easily defeated them with Niji pretending to be Charlotte Nusstorte while speaking to Charlotte Mont-d'Or and divulging secret information from him.[43] Niji and the other Vinsmokes later aided Sanji and Luffy in their escape as a way of seeking payback against the Big Mom Pirates for their deception.[39]

    Advertisement Abilities and Powers As a prince of the Germa Kingdom, Niji has political authority over its subjects, and great influence over the World Government.[2] He also holds a high rank within Germa 66, possessing authority over common soldiers who will die for him on command. A portion of Germa 66, under Niji and Ichiji's command, was able to end a two-year war in four hours, thoroughly annihilating the side they were hired to fight.[1]

    As a member of the Vinsmoke Family, Niji also has access to the advanced technology developed by his family as well as their extravagant wealth.[2]

    He seems to be proficient at impersonation, as he tricked Charlotte Mont-d'Or into thinking he was Charlotte Nusstorte when calling him from Nusstorte's Den Den Mushi.[44] In the anime, the hand that was holding Nusstorte appears to be glowing.[45]

    Niji possesses a strong will, as he was able to withstand a burst of Big Mom's Supreme King Haki and remain conscious from her loud scream.[46]

    Physical Abilities As a result of genetic enhancements, Niji possesses tremendous superhuman physical abilities. He has an outer skeleton that made him impervious to a blunt sword strike from Sanji, and one of Judge's aides said that he had developed the strength and agility of an adult man while he was a young child. One of his kicks generated enough wind force to knock a by-standing Cosette off her feet, despite Niji halting the kick in mid-air before it connected with Sanji.[47] He was also able to throw Sanji and Luffy forward at a great speed, sending them flying through the sky over an entire fleet of the Big Mom Pirates' ships.[48] He managed to lift Charlotte Nusstorte, an enormous man, with only one hand.

    Niji possesses a tremendous amount of speed and is capable of taking down his opponents extremely quick. He was able to move so fast that Sanji, a very skilled Observation Haki user, lost sight of him,[49] and managed to jump a great distance to pull Sanji away from the explosion of a nearby missile before it happened. He was also able to attack several Big Mom Pirates before they could react, even while holding Sanji and Luffy, and the power of his momentum allowed him to throw Sanji and Luffy over an entire fleet.[48]

    He is also extremely durable, as he quickly fixed his broken jaw after taking a direct hit from Sanji's powerful kick and stood up to fight back almost immediately.[49] He has a tremendous tolerance for alcohol, as he and his brothers continued to drink large quantities unaffected while the barmaids all fell intoxicated.[50]

    Advertisement Techniques Stealth (ステルス, Suterusu?): Niji escapes his target's sight before quickly appearing right behind them. It was first used in his scuffle with Sanji.[49] Swordsmanship Niji is highly proficient with a sword, overpowering Sanji several times in his youth.[29] As an adult, he was shown combining his swordsmanship with his speed and Dengeki Blue ability to take out multiple Big Mom Pirates extremely quick.[48]

    Techniques Kosoku no Ken: Henry Blazer (光速の剣 起電光剣ヘンリーブレイザー, Kōsoku no Ken: Henrī Bureizā?, literally meaning "Light Speed Sword: Electromotive Light Sword"): Imbuing his sword with electricity from Dengeki Blue, Niji speeds toward his opponents and runs in a lightning bolt-shaped motion while he strikes them down one after another.

Dengeki Blue Niji's electric powers used for Henry Needle. Niji's electric powers used for Henry Needle.

    Niji possesses an ability that has given him the name Dengeki Blue. Similar to Electro, Niji can electrify parts of his body to deal heavy damage to his opponents,[49] and was able to knock back Charlotte Oven with a single electrified kick, successfully rescuing Chopper from his grasp.[51] He can also imbue other objects with electricity such as a sword.[48]

    Techniques

    Henry Needle (起電ヘンリー ニードル, Henrī Nīdoru?, literally meaning "Electromotive Needle"): Niji runs a wave of electricity through his knee and knees his opponent in the back.

This is one of Niji's Special Attacks in One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4. Equipment Due to his family's technological prowess, Niji possesses a raid suit which he wears in combat. It protects him from fire,[53] bullets,[54] and strong blows. It also provides him with jet-propelled boots.

    History Past Niji, Ichiji, and Yonji bully Sanji. Niji, Ichiji, and Yonji bully Sanji.

    Niji was born as the second son and the third child of the Vinsmoke Family. At the time of his birth, the Germa Kingdom was still in North Blue. As a young child, Niji and his siblings were informed by their father that their bodies had been genetically modified, and their father instructed them to train hard in order to develop and take advantage of these superhuman enhancements. All of them succeeded in developing except for Sanji. Niji and his two other brothers were initially irritated with Sanji's poor progress, but they eventually took pleasure in bullying Sanji for his weakness[29] as well as for feeding rats.[6]

    When Judge had Sanji locked in a dungeon and then claimed that he died in an accident, Niji wondered if Sanji had actually died.[30] After finding Sanji, Niji and his two other brothers occasionally visited him just to continue with their bullying.[55]

    After Sanji left the family, Niji and his siblings often mused about Sanji. However, their discussions typically revolved around the numerous amusing ways that each of them could imagine as to how Sanji may have died while living on his own.[56]

    Niji and Ichiji led a platoon of Germa 66 soldiers to end a two-year war on Broc Coli Island. They did so in four hours, and Niji collected the payment for their services from the winning side. Niji and Ichiji then stood on a rooftop to observe the burning country, as they arranged to make the two day journey to Whole Cake Island. While Ichiji expressed excitement at seeing Sanji again, Niji called him a liar.[1]

    Two days later, Niji and Ichiji arrived at the Germa Kingdom. As they received a hero's welcome from the Germa 66 soldiers, Niji was annoyed that Sanji was not there to greet them, but was told by Ichiji to quiet down.[27]

    Niji and Sanji face off after a disagreement. Niji and Sanji face off after a disagreement.

    Sometime later, Niji was having a meal with his father and siblings. After a discussion with his father about the Levely, Niji stated that he thought he would never see the day Sanji would be useful. Niji told Sanji that when he left the family, he and the other Vinsmoke brothers all spoke about him but their conversations revolved around the amusing ways and place he'd most likely to die. Sanji ignored this and proceeded to tell Niji to finish what was on his plate, but Niji refused and was irritated when Sanji called him a spoiled prince who does not know the value of food. Niji then angrily called the head chef, Cosette, and threw his plate at her. Sanji caught the plate and scorned Niji for trying to hurt a woman. As Sanji ate the food that fell on the floor, Niji was disgusted at this. Niji attempted to kick Sanji, but their father quickly stopped him. Niji told Sanji he brought shame to their family, but Sanji stated being affiliated with them is shameful to him. As their father coerced Sanji by threatening Zeff's life, Niji and his siblings exited the dining hall, and Niji severely beat Cosette in retaliation for Sanji's actions.[57]

    Niji, Ichiji, and Yonji overpower Sanji. Niji, Ichiji, and Yonji overpower Sanji.

    Niji and Ichiji later met Sanji and Yonji in the Germa lab, where they mocked Sanji for still being pathetic. Seeing Niji again, Sanji immediately kicked Niji's face in anger over what he did to Cosette. Niji's jaw was broken, but he fixed it with his hands and quickly got back up and beat Sanji into the ground when Ichiji reminded Sanji of Zeff. While Sanji was lying on the floor, Niji mocked him for his values.[32] After injuring Sanji further, Niji left the lab with Ichiji and Yonji.[25]

    Niji later departed the Germa Kingdom with his father and siblings and headed for Big Mom's castle in his family's carriage.[58] On the way, they encountered Luffy and Nami. Upon seeing Nami, Niji gazed at her in a love-struck manner. When Sanji coldly turned down Luffy's request to return with him, Niji smiled.[59] Niji watched with amusement as Sanji continued to reject Luffy and Nami and then severely beat Luffy by repeatedly kicking him. After knocking Luffy down, Sanji returned to the carriage and the Vinsmoke Family continued on to the Whole Cake Chateau. When Luffy declared that he would wait for Sanji, Niji laughed alongside Yonji.[33]

    The Vinsmoke Family finds out about Big Mom's collection of strange creatures. The Vinsmoke Family finds out about Big Mom's collection of strange creatures.

    As the carriage approached Big Mom's castle, Niji expressed amusement at watching an army marching towards Luffy and Nami's location. After arriving at the castle, Niji and his family had a meal with Big Mom and Pudding.[60] Sometime after the lunch meeting, Big Mom took the Vinsmoke Family (except Sanji) to her library and showed them her collection of rare creatures stored in books.[61]

    After the tour, Niji, Judge, Ichiji, and Yonji had a private discussion in the Vinsmoke guest room. Judge told his sons that Pudding would be living with them on Germa Kingdom after the wedding so they could use her as leverage against Big Mom. When Niji asked if Big Mom would use a similar tactic, Ichiji told Niji that it would not have any effect on the Vinsmoke Family if Sanji's life was threatened. Niji then expressed excitement at the thought of Sanji living with them again.[62] During the night before the wedding ceremony, Niji, Ichiji, Yonji, and Judge celebrated the anticipated sealing of their alliance with Big Mom. While they drank, they toasted to Sanji for being useful.[63]

    The Vinsmoke Family heads to the wedding venue. The Vinsmoke Family heads to the wedding venue.

    On the day of the wedding ceremony, Niji was shown getting dressed for the wedding, alongside his father and elder brother. As Judge and Ichiji inquired about Reiju's location, Niji went to wake Yonji up and told him to get prepared for the Tea Party.[64] An hour later, the Vinsmokes headed to the ceremony venue on the roof of the Whole Cake Chateau. As they made their way through the castle, Niji told off Yonji for questioning Reiju about her whereabouts on the night before. After Niji asked if Sanji tried to escape, the Vinsmokes received confirmation from one of Big Mom's subordinates that Sanji was ready for the ceremony.[11]

    After the tea party began, Niji spoke to Charlotte Galette and another female guest.[65] After Sanji and Pudding arrived at the venue, the Vinsmokes took their seats and watched the exchange of vows. Yonji commented that he would not mind marrying a beautiful woman like Pudding, but Niji and Ichiji reminded him on what it means to marry one of Big Mom's children.[66]

    After Brook destroyed the picture of Carmel, the Vinsmoke Family found themselves restrained to their seats with members of the Charlotte Family holding them at gunpoint. As Judge cried out in anguish at Big Mom's betrayal, Niji casually commented on how they were tricked and started laughing in amusement, with him and his brothers not caring about death due to their lack of emotions.[67] Moments later, as Big Mom began to scream, Niji managed to stay conscious as his family's captors began falling all around them. Sanji then arrived and freed him by shattering the hardened candy around his body while Nami gave him back his raid suit.[68]

    As the Charlotte Family resumed their efforts to kill the Vinsmoke Family, Niji and his siblings put on their raid suits. Niji then rescued Chopper by kicking away Charlotte Oven, before retreating into Bege's fortress.[69] As Bege's fortress was suffering damage from Big Mom's attacks, the Vinsmoke Family decided to fight Big Mom in order to give the alliance an opening to escape. After exiting Bege, Niji blocked a volley of bullets fired by the Big Mom Pirates. After Reiju took an attack from Big Mom, Niji showed concern but Ichiji told him to remain focused on the mission.[70]

    In the ensuing confrontation against the Big Mom Pirates, Perospero attempted to use candy wall to block Caesar Clown as he was carrying Bege and everyone inside him. Niji, Ichiji, and Yonji combined their attacks to destroy the candy wall, allowing Caesar to pass through. When Judge went down after clashing with Big Mom, Niji and Yonji then rushed towards their father's aid, but they were soon overwhelmed and caught by Big Mom herself. However, before she can execute them, the Tamatebako dropped to the base of the Whole Cake Chateau and the bomb inside the chest exploded, causing the entire castle to collapse.[71] As the castle fall, Niji and Yonji carried their father to safety.[26]

    Back at the Germa Kingdom, the Vinsmoke siblings defeated the pursuit team that went after them. Niji then contacted Mont-d'Or through a Den Den Mushi and impersonated one of the Big Mom Pirates, tricking him into thinking that Germa 66 was crushed. After hearing about the direction the Straw Hats were heading, Ichiji told his siblings to set sail.[72]

    When Luffy and Sanji were cornered by the Big Mom Pirates at Cacao Island, Germa 66 arrived just in time to assist them.[73] Their interference allowed Sanji and Luffy to escape, but the duo were quickly attacked again, and one enemy pirate shot a missile at them. Niji jumped up and pulled them away from the explosion, rocketing toward the coast as he cut down several pirates with his sword. Before throwing Sanji and Luffy toward the Thousand Sunny,[39] Niji secretly gave Sanji a raid suit.[74]

    As the battle raged on, the Big Mom Pirates brought anti-Germa bullets and used them to injure Niji and his siblings.[75] Despite those injuries, Niji kept fighting. When the Straw Hats finally escaped Totto Land, Germa 66 prepared to withdraw. However, Big Mom arrived at Cacao Island before they could retreat.[76]

    Advertisement Wano Country Saga Germa 66's Ahh... An Emotionless Excursion During the battle, Niji and Yonji were defeated by Big Mom and pinned in one of Mont-d'Or's prisoner books.[77] The book was later opened for display in Chocolat Town on Cacao Island.[78] While there, Pudding punched the brothers for being so cruel to Sanji. Oven later closed the book and carried it through the Mirro-World to Whole Cake Island. Oven then left the book open so Prim, Brownie, Kato, and Anana could experiment on the brothers.[79]

    Ichiji and Reiju returned to Whole Cake Island and broke into the laboratory, freeing their brothers and beating up the Charlotte siblings. While escaping, the siblings came across Caesar.[80] Charlotte Katakuri and Oven then arrived and attacked the Vinsmokes; however, Caesar released a poison gas that caused the Charlotte siblings to fight each other. After Caesar begged for their help,[81] the Vinsmokes, along with Caesar, successfully escaped the castle[82] and reached the St. Germain.[83]

    Niji and his siblings watched as Judge and Caesar argued and fought,[84] until the two men reached an understanding and agreed to form NEO MADS.[85]

    Advertisement Appearance Judge is a large man with long golden hair that reaches his waist. He has a long and thin black mustache which spikes upward, a thin and small beard, and a prominent cleft chin. He always wears a golden helmet, which was later destroyed during his clash with Big Mom.[9] Much like his children, Judge has curved eyebrows, although they are relatively thicker.

    He usually wears his Raid Suit, which is composed of a gray robe with the number "66" on the bottom front, a large orange cape, a belt with the number "66" on the buckle, brown gloves, and black boots with jet propellers that allow him to levitate in the air once activated.[1]

    At the Tea Party, Judge changed into a dark grey suit, comprised of a grey shirt, white tie, trousers, and a double-breasted jacket. On top of the suit, he wore an orange, single-shoulder royal cloak clasped in front of his neck.[10]

    Thirteen years ago, Judge wore an outfit similar to the one he wears in the present, but with different coloring.[11]

    Judge did not wear a helmet during his time with MADS (thus exposing his eyebrows) and wore a simple suit instead of his Raid one. He was also far leaner and with shorter hair. His mustache would start growing around this time.

He disowned his third son, Sanji, after learning about Sanji's "disgusting" habit of cooking for others (which he equates with serving others).[12] It has been shown that he passed these attitudes down to his children, as his other sons use the same rationale to justify bullying Sanji during their childhood.[13][14] As part of this pride, Judge is preoccupied with recapturing the past glories of the Vinsmoke Family; for this reason, his lifelong ambition is to retake the entire North Blue, as his ancestors once did.[1] It was his desire for power and tremendous arrogance that nearly led to the deaths of himself and his family when Big Mom deceived him in forming an alliance only to betray and nearly kill him.[15]

    He has proven that he will not hesitate to use any means to accomplish his goals, including genetically modifying his children into superhumans, and going as far as to tell his wife that he was content with turning their sons into monsters, as long as they win wars. When his wife maintained her opposition, he forced her to undergo the surgery which would install the modifications, and he was furious at his third son when he failed to exhibit any enhancements from the surgery.[16] As Sanji prepared to leave the family, Judge gave him the condition to never associate himself with Judge or the Vinsmoke name again, since he considers Sanji his greatest failure and shame.[17]

    Judge also loathes compassion and kindness, as he believes it makes people weak and useless; presumably for similar reasons, Judge does not seem too fond of chivalry (as seen when he called Sanji's chivalry a "bad influence" from Zeff). As such, he modified his sons to remove their emotions and ensure they would become strong while believing they were perfect. He expressed rage and despised Sanji heavily for showing such emotions, believing that Sora's kindness in helping the weak is worthless and greatly scorned Sanji due to his kindness. However, Judge was in disbelief when he saw Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji expressing a lack of care at their imminent demise after they fell into the Big Mom Pirates' trap. Even after witnessing the flaw in their design and seeing that the very emotions that Sanji possesses had saved him and his family, Judge still considers such emotions useless and cruelly mocked Sanji in front of Sanji's comrades. When he aided the Straw Hats against Smoothie's fleet, he angrily yelled at Luffy, demanding to know why he had traveled to Totto Land to save Sanji while listing off all the things he despises about Sanji (e.g compassion and having emotions). When Luffy simply thanked Judge for aiding them, Judge was furious and continuously questioned the Straw Hat captain as the Straw Hats sailed away.

    As a king, Judge has exhibited significant political astuteness. He understood the full implications of Doflamingo's fall from power, including its impact on the war on Broc Coli Island. He also weighed up Germa's current privileges within the World Government against the benefits of an alliance with Big Mom, before deciding that losing the right to attend Levely was far exceeded by gaining the manpower to retake North Blue.[18] He is naturally cautious when making major political moves, and is conscious not to make commitments without taking measures to avert potential difficulties; when dealing with Big Mom, he sought out his estranged third son specifically because any threat or danger to Sanji would not affect him, and he planned to hold Pudding hostage in the Germa Kingdom to prevent Big Mom from backstabbing him after the wedding.[19] However, Judge still underestimated Big Mom's capacity for betrayal, as he was unaware of her plans to double-cross him before the wedding even concluded.[20] Even though he puts up a cautious defense when dealing with pirates, he nevertheless believed that even criminals such as them would have some honor in keeping with their deals, and became horrified when this view was betrayed.[15]

    Judge has also exhibited great respect for strength, and the privileges that come with its exercise. He believes that men should speak with physical force alone, and flaunts his own power and accomplishments by hanging an image of himself victorious in the Conquest of Four Nations as interior decoration inside his castle.[21] This view also colors his attitude towards his children, as he only values them when they prove such strength; for this reason, he refused to intervene as his other sons constantly and viciously bullied Sanji when they were all children.[13] By contrast, he doted on all his other children, whose superhuman physical strength became obvious even as children. Even after 13 years of estrangement, after which Sanji returned to the Germa Kingdom with significantly improved physical strength that surprised even him, Judge still refused to acknowledge Sanji as his son.[12]

    Judge is also extremely hypocritical. While he has emotions himself, he despises Sanji for his kindness and because he did not receive the same modifications as his brothers. While he refuses to privately acknowledge Sanji as a son, he openly acknowledges him in front of guests and allies in order to make himself look like a benevolent father and expresses rage that Sanji would dare to attack his father or sacrifice his family for his crew. When he was in a situation where his life was at stake, he was quick to act extremely cowardly, begging someone to save him while crying. Judge also believes that everyone should have some form of honor, but he has no qualms in using underhanded tactics such as blackmailing Sanji into an arranged marriage or lying to others to satisfy his own selfish agenda. While he claims he isn't inhuman enough to kill his own son, he has no problem in allowing others or Sanji himself to do it for him.

    In addition, Judge has proven that he is capable of immense cruelty. He was not simply content with demoralizing Sanji in front of his siblings, but further punished him by putting a metal mask over his face and locking him up in a dark cell within the family's castle. He also did nothing when Sanji's brothers were brutally bullying him and coldly told the latter he was not a son worth helping. After 13 years apart, his only reason for seeking Sanji out was to use him as a political pawn to further his goals and outright stated he views him as a means to an end. He even threatened the life of Zeff[22] (the man who took Sanji in after Sanji left the family) and placed exploding wrist-cuffs on Sanji's hands (the things Sanji values the most), to ensure Sanji cooperated with the wedding.[23] The only time he has shown an interest in Sanji's safety was in preventing Niji from attacking him, because he still needed Sanji to seal the political alliance.[24] Despite his cruelty, however, Judge claims that he is not inhumane enough to kill his children, regardless of his feelings toward them. Despite considering Sanji as an utterly worthless son and a disgrace to the Vinsmoke Family, Judge chose to condemn his third son to life imprisonment instead of putting him to death. When Sanji decided to leave, Judge allowed Sanji to flee the Germa Kingdom, believing that Sanji would never survive on his own on the high seas.[17]

    Judge cries in despair. Judge cries in despair.

    While Judge believes that the strong has the right to oppress the weak, he hypocritically shows great fear and despair when he is subjected to the short end of such treatment. When the Charlotte Family revealed Big Mom's plan to massacre his entire family and rendered them powerless with Charlotte Perospero's binding candy, Judge became horrified and sank into despair, weeping in the face of imminent doom and lamenting that his lifelong ambition of taking back North Blue would be beyond his reach. While crying, Judge was mocked by Ichiji, his child that he ensured would be strong and have no emotion, while also seeing Niji and Yonji simply accepting death without any resistance and even laughing about it. Seeing this flaw in their engineered apathy, Judge accusingly stated something is wrong with them, being unable to see that it was his own selfish actions that removed their capacity to feel emotions.[15]

    When Judge confronted Big Mom, he showed some honor as he acknowledged his dream of retaking the North Blue was overreaching as he cursed Big Mom for deceiving him.[9] To repay his debt with Sanji, Judge chose to aid the Straw Hat Pirates at Cacao Island rather than fleeing Totto Land.[25]

    Sora Judge and his wife had conflicting ideals. Sora did not want their sons to lose their humanity, but Judge only cared about giving them the power to win wars and forced her to undergo surgery which would alter their sons' Lineage Factor. Sora did everything she could to stop Judge's wild ambitions, even if it meant risking her own life.[16]

    After she passed away, Judge wished to move on from her way of doing things, as he saw no merit and nothing to be gained by continuing on the legacy of a deceased person.[11] He forbade Sanji from emulating her example, even scorning him for following her legacy of caring for the weak. Judge effectively trampled on Sora's wishes, genetically modifying their quadruplet sons against her will and later neglecting, imprisoning, and banishing Sanji, their only son to live up to Sora's efforts.

    Sanji “ Sanji is Germa’s failure! His skin doesn’t work as a shield! He works as a cook because he has no pride in his royal blood! He’s easily moved like an idiot, and his soft mind makes him put his life on the line for the weak! A failed soldier who is far from perfect… That’s all he is! ” — Judge to Luffy about how pathetic Sanji is as Judge’s son.[26]

    Unlike his siblings, whose genetic modifications were successful in giving them superhuman strength, Sanji's strength remained that of a normal human throughout his childhood due to Sora's intake of a counter-drug that negated the surgery effects on Sanji alone. Judge did try to encourage Sanji by sternly scolding him that he must train a thousand times harder than his siblings if he wished to become strong, but he still showed no improvement. After Sora's death, Judge blamed Sanji and saw him as a constant reminder of his late wife's personality. For this reason, Judge allowed his other sons to bully Sanji, even stating that he was not obligated to help the pleading Sanji and deeming him as a disgrace.

    Judge viewed Sanji to be an "utter waste of space and air" and the single blemish in his life. This even led the pitiless father to have Sanji locked in a dungeon for over six months. Despite his extreme scorn for Sanji, Judge allowed Sanji to be fed and admitted that he could never bring himself to dispose of Sanji himself. When Sanji escaped from his cell and announced his intentions to leave the Germa Kingdom, Judge was pleased and even allowed Sanji to go, as he thought Sanji would die on his own. He allowed Sanji to leave on the condition that he never tell anyone about their relationship, as he was the only thing he was most ashamed of, which left his son in tears. [17]

    Judge, however, soon decided to bring him back and pursued him constantly, going so far as to both use the World Government and the Marines to locate him and manipulate the Marines' bounty system to ensure his safe return.[27] This was all done merely in furtherance of his ambition to reconquer the North Blue. In order to seal an alliance with Big Mom, which would give him the forces necessary to realize this ambition, he forced Sanji to marry one of Big Mom's daughters in order to meet her terms for an alliance. During their reunion, they expressed their mutual dislike for one another, with Sanji refusing to acknowledge him as his father,[1] and Judge telling Sanji that he never considered Sanji a true son, even after Sanji proved himself to have grown tremendously during his decade of absence.[23] Judge finds Sanji's unroyal behavior disgraceful, claiming Sanji needed to reign in his "twisted thinking". Because he viewed Sanji as a means to an end, he required him to be alive in order for his plan to be a success, as shown when he prevented Niji from attacking him, which marked the first time he ever defended Sanji from his brothers. As Sanji reiterated his disgust for his family, Judge quelled Sanji's rebellious behavior by threatening the life of the man whom he saw as his real father.[22] He is also observant of Sanji's behavior since their reunion, as he noticed his third son go pale when he revealed his knowledge of Zeff's existence, and when Luffy came towards the Vinsmoke carriage, his only reaction was looking back at his son. On the night before the wedding, Judge and his sons then shared a toast to Sanji, albeit in a patronizing way, for actually being useful to them.[28]

    In keeping with his utmost respect for strength, Judge claimed that Sanji, even as a child, was worthless for not being able to defend himself from his brothers and punished him for persisting with cooking. However, he (like Reiju and Yonji) did show surprise at Sanji's drastically improved physical strength as an adult, voicing his disbelief that Sanji was able to use Haki in their fight. He also expressed surprise and anger that Sanji would dare to kick him or that he'd sacrifice his own family just to protect his crew.[12]

    Despite their mutual dislike, Sanji confessed to Luffy that he did not have it in him to leave his father to die at Big Mom's hand and wanted to save him.[29] This was later shown to be an ironic comparison between Sanji's brothers, whom Judge had always favored, while looking down on Sanji for retaining his sense of compassion. It was Sanji's possession of emotions that drove him to save his father and siblings compared to how Sanji's brothers, because of their lack of emotions, simply accepted the incoming demise of both their father and themselves while not bothering to show any resistance. After being held at gunpoint by the Big Mom Pirates, Judge was utterly shocked when Sanji freed him and his other children.[30]

    Sanji disowns his father after rescuing him. Sanji disowns his father after rescuing him.

    After being freed by Sanji, Judge begrudgingly listened to his son when the latter pointed him to retreat into Bege's giant castle.[31] After entering Bege's castle, Judge overheard Nami saying that it was Sanji's wish to save them. He then questioned Sanji on why he saved them in spite of his hatred of them, even stating that it was the perfect opportunity to be rid of them. Sanji answered by saying he did not want to disappoint his "father" by stooping so low as to allow his biological family to die. Sanji then angrily grabbed Judge, stating that he is not his father anymore, and demanded him to never show his face around him or his crew ever again. Recognizing the pain he put Sanji through and the debt he owed him, Judge solemnly agreed to never interfere with Sanji's life ever again nor go near the East Blue again. He then offered to distract Big Mom to give the alliance an opening to escape, as he did not want to be in debt to a "failure," as Sanji understood Judge's resolve. However, Sanji still aided his family in fighting off the Big Mom Pirates.[8]

    Judge and his forces once again came to Sanji's aid at Cacao Island. Judge shared a glare with Sanji while asking Luffy why he risked his life for Sanji's sake. Judge also still referred to Sanji as Germa's failure and stated all his "faults" to the retrieval team.[32] Presently, Judge is completely unaware that the genetic modifications he gave Sanji have finally awakened. [33]

    Advertisement Reiju Judge embraces four of his children. Judge embraces four of his children.

    Judge's daughter outwardly shows great respect and admiration for him; while Sanji denounces Judge's decision to put up glorified pictures of himself throughout the royal castle, Reiju responds that it simply shows that their father is a man of great fame and power.[1] Judge, in turn, trusts Reiju enough to delegate important tasks to her, such as cuffing Sanji with exploding wristlets.

    Unbeknownst to Judge, however, Reiju secretly holds him in contempt for contributing to her mother's death, and for his cruel ways (including his treatment of Sanji). Even though Judge has modified her so that she cannot directly disobey his orders, she still circumvents him when she can, such as deciding to put fake exploding bracelets onto Sanji when trusted with the task. Her hatred of her father's cruelty extends to the point that she wishes death on him as well as herself for the things he had forced her to do, reasoning that there's no place in the world for murderers.[16]

    As the Vinsmoke Family was facing imminent doom from Big Mom's treachery, Judge panicked while Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji were nonchalant as Reiju silently acknowledged that her father was the one at fault for removing their capacity to feel emotions.[15]

    Despite her resentment towards him, she expressed worry for her father when he charged at Big Mom and was easily taken down.[9]

    Ichiji Judge highly values his "beloved" eldest son, and is happy to entrust the command of Germa 66 forces to him as the organization carries out its commissions. He approved of Ichiji (along with Niji and Yonji) bullying Sanji as a child,[13] and refused to consider marrying him off to one of Big Mom's daughters even to seal a powerful political alliance.[23]

    When Ichiji informed Sanji that he was disgracing the family with his unroyal behavior, Judge approved of his eldest son's words, stating Ichiji's logic was "flawless".

    Ironically, when the Big Mom Pirates were holding the Vinsmokes at gunpoint, Ichiji and his two brothers remained calm while Judge panicked. Right after Ichiji called his father's pleas to Big Mom pathetic, Judge accusingly retorted that something is wrong with the three brothers. In his desperate panic, Judge was unable to see that he was responsible for removing Ichiji's capacity to feel emotion.[15]

    Advertisement Niji As with Ichiji, Judge also values his second son and is happy to entrust Germa 66 forces to him in combat situations. He approved of Niji (along with Ichiji and Yonji) bullying Sanji as a child,[13] and refused to consider marrying him off to one of Big Mom's daughters even to seal a powerful political alliance.[23]

    Though he has great respect for his second son, Judge still stopped Niji from kicking Sanji, not willing to let Sanji get damaged before the wedding. Niji is also obedient to his father, as he halted his attack on Sanji at his father's orders despite his extreme fury towards his younger brother. However, when Niji simply laughed off the situation where the Charlotte Family had them at gunpoint, Judge accusingly retorted that something is wrong with the three brothers. Ironically, Judge was responsible for Niji's incapacity to feel emotion.[15]

    In spite of this, Niji did show some concern for his father. He didn't hesitate to rush to his aid after he was struck down by Big Mom.[9] When the Chateau collapsed, Niji and Yonji quickly rescued their unconscious father and took him far from the destruction.[34]

    Yonji Judge seems to respect his youngest son, questioning Sanji over what he did to his younger brother and stating that Yonji's strength is formidable.[1] He considers Yonji, along with Ichiji and Niji, as "valuable"; therefore, despite his desire for an alliance with Big Mom, he refused to consider marrying Yonji into her family in order to meet her terms for an alliance.[23] However, when Yonji looked apathetically at the situation where the Charlotte Family had them at gunpoint, Judge accusingly retorted that something is wrong with the three brothers. In this panicking moment, Judge was unable to see that he was responsible for Yonji's incapacity to feel emotion.[15]

    In spite of this, Yonji did show some concern for his father. He didn't hesitate to rush to his father's aid after he was struck down by Big Mom.[9] When the Chateau collapsed, Yonji and Niji quickly rescued their unconscious father and took him far from the destruction.[34]

    Germa Kingdom As king of his country, Judge demands the utmost respect from his people. The citizens, who are mainly made up of his soldiers and maids, are fiercely loyal and obedient to him, and all highly respect Judge as their king. They follow his rule and demand in waging wars or leading the Germa 66 obediently, as Judge considers his men the backbone of the Germa Kingdom. Judge highly values his science unit, as he uses them to ensure his army is strong and fruitful in his conquest.

    Despite their loyalty, Judge cares very little to none for his people, as he was more concerned with reconquering the North Blue over retaining his kingdom's connection to the World Government and the privileges that came with it. Indeed, as the Big Mom Pirates held him and his family at gunpoint, Judge only lamented that his lifelong dream of conquering the North Blue would never come true rather than care that his family and his entire kingdom would be destroyed by Big Mom just to get their technology. Because of Judge's actions, his entire kingdom has lost all political connections to the World Government.

    Advertisement Subordinates Judge describes the soldiers of Germa 66 as the "true backbone of Germa's might", and he expects their absolute loyalty. However, Judge cares nothing for his soldiers, as he ordered several of them to block Sanji's attack and even stabbed one of them through with a spear simply to land a surprise attack on Sanji without hesitation or remorse.[12] This also extends towards his servants, as when Niji attacked Cosette over a trivial matter, he did nothing nor showed any remorse after Niji brutally injured her. He firmly stated that his servants are meant to serve and not the other way around.

    Allies Straw Hat Pirates Judge originally was very apathetic towards the Straw Hat Pirates, most likely due to his arrogant royal values, but was angered when Sanji claimed he would sacrifice his own family to be with his crew. Judge later recognized the infamous Monkey D. Luffy as he rushed towards their carriage but was nonplussed when Luffy tried to get Sanji to return to the crew. During their encounter, Judge watched Sanji carefully and taking note of Sanji's reaction. When Sanji was forced to beat down his captain and Nami slapped Sanji in farewell, Judge believed with satisfaction that Sanji had severed his "useless bonds".[35]

    At the wedding, he was surprised to see them causing chaos and deduced that they were there to rescue Sanji, leaving him both shocked and furious at the depths they would go to save him, and in the anime stated he would attack them for their actions.[15] After the Big Mom Pirates revealed their treachery to the Vinsmokes and prepared to assassinate them, it was thanks to Luffy's efforts that Sanji was able to free Judge and his other children from their restraints. As Big Mom screamed, Chopper placed earplugs into his ears and Nami returned the Vinsmokes' raid suit to him and his children before they join forces with the Straw Hat Pirates and the Fire Tank Pirates.[30] When Judge assisted the Straw Hats in escaping Smoothie's fleet, he asked Luffy why he risked his life just to save Sanji. Instead of answering him, Luffy simply thanked him for his help and fled with his crew, which infuriated Judge.[36]

    Fire Tank Pirates After the Vinsmoke Family were deceived by Big Mom, Judge and his children briefly allied with the Fire Tank Pirates. To help Bege and his allies escape the wedding venue, Judge volunteered to confront the Big Mom Pirates in order to give them the opening they need.[8]

    Caesar Clown Judge was once a colleague with fellow MADS scientist Caesar Clown, when both worked with Vegapunk conducting unlawful and sometimes unethical experiments behind the World Government. At present day, Caesar would not hesitate to calling out Judge for his overbearing attitude.[37] The feeling appears to be mutual as the two had a prior fallout after Vegapunk was nominated as recipient for the Ibel Peace Prize over his fellow MADS colleagues; a fact Judge would never forget as he continued to pick a fight with Caesar after his escape to the Germa Kingdom. They do have a mutual relationship when blaming the fault on Vegapunk. Upon coming to a consensus that Vegapunk was the obstacle that prevented them from the top spot, Judge and Caesar set aside their differences and together formed a successor of their old group known as NEO MADS.[38]

    Advertisement Enemies North Blue Judge claims that the countries of North Blue are his enemies. He has spent his entire life dedicated to taking revenge against those countries in order to restore his Germa Empire. The reason he allied with the Big Mom Pirates is to gain the military forces to achieve this goal,[23] and when they betrayed him, he tearfully lamented that he would be unable to fulfill his ambition of taking back the quadrant of the sea his ancestors once held.[15]

    Charlotte Linlin “ Our dreams are dust!! What am I to say to the ghosts that have not land to step foot on, after those short 66 days of hope? We entrusted you with our 300 year old desires, the chagrin of our people! Curse you, foul villain! ” — Judge cursing Big Mom for her betrayal.[9]

    Judge desired an alliance with Big Mom, as her forces, combined with his, would enable him to easily conquer North Blue. However, he does not like her as a person, calling her a "madwoman" and not wanting his favored children to be married into her family.[23] In front of her, Judge would put up a front of friendly and respectful relationship, though full-heartedly agreeing with her on the marriage's primary reason is to cement the alliance.[39] Judge planned to take Pudding hostage after the wedding in order to ensure that Big Mom won't double-cross him.[19]

    However, in truth, Big Mom also dislikes Judge and his children and refers to them as the "annoying leadership".[40] In fact, she never intended to form an alliance between herself and Judge in the first place, nor to marry her favorite daughter, Pudding, into the Vinsmoke Family. Rather, she planned the wedding as a set-up to kill Judge and his children in order to take their army and technology for herself without having to negotiate with Judge for their future use.[20]

    Despite their dislike of each other, Judge still trusted Linlin to a certain extent, enough to believe she wanted to fulfill this pact as much as he does. Hence, he did not anticipate foul play and deposited his family's Raid Suits at the security checkpoint. Upon being restrained and held at gunpoint, Judge cried out at Big Mom over her betrayal, stating that their promise was meant to be of some importance. He pleaded to her for answers and even cried as he was mocked by Charlotte Perospero, the Tea Party guests, and by Ichiji, his own son.[15]

    He later attacked Big Mom directly, cursing her in extreme anger for crushing his dreams and betraying him. However, Big Mom simply smiled at his anguish, told him to die for her own dreams, and proceeded to calmly shatter his spear before smiting him with a bolt of Zeus' lightning. She then prepared to execute him along with his family before being interrupted by the castle toppling over.[41]

    Although he could have fled Totto Land, he chose to remain in Big Mom's territory to aid the Straw Hats in their escape as some sort of payback against Big Mom.

    Advertisement Vegapunk Judge was Vegapunk's former colleague as part of the rogue scientific team MADS. The two discovered the "Lineage Factor", which caused the World Government to go after them out of fear of the discovery, and the two went their separate ways, with Vegapunk being caught and is now working for the government, and Judge managing to escape and continue the research for his own goals.[3] Judge now hates Vegapunk and had always considered him as a hindrance to his goal of becoming No. 1.[42] When seeing the broadcast, Judge shown disbeliefs that Vegapunk died, ruining his chance to surpass him.

    Other Zeff Judge is aware of Zeff's role in raising his third son when he ran away. Judge appears to hold Zeff in disdain as he stated it was probably because of the chef's teachings that Sanji developed his "twisted" way of thinking. After Sanji continued to remain defiant, Judge silenced the latter by showing him a picture of Zeff, Judge warned Sanji that (through his alliance with Big Mom) he knows of Zeff's current location and if he were to continue refusing to obey his wishes, he will ensure the death of the man whom Sanji viewed as his real father. He also said to Sanji that no danger will come upon anyone he knows or cares about as long as he follows his orders accordingly.[17] However, in his conversation with Sanji after Big Mom's betrayal, Judge promised his son that he will never interfere with his life nor threaten Zeff ever again.[8]

    World Government Despite his kingdom being affiliated with the government, Judge abused his status in the government frequently as he used his pull in the government to issue the bounty system to find Sanji and bring him back alive for his arranged wedding. Though his kingdom's controversial actions had always threatened its relationship with the government, Judge cared more about his desire to reconquer the North Blue than his political privileges and was more than willing to relinquish his rights with the government.[43]

    Due to Judge's attempt to ally with the Big Mom Pirates only for them to betray him and his family, the World Government has severed all ties with Judge and the Germa Kingdom.[44]

    Abilities and Powers Judge can use and has knowledge of Haki, as he recognized it when his third son used it against him.[12] In spite of his cowardly behavior at the thought of death, he seems to possess a strong enough will as he was able to withstand a burst of Big Mom's Supreme King Haki and remain conscious from her screams.[45]

    Advertisement Political Powers As king of the Germa Kingdom, Judge has authority over his subjects,[1] and is a former attendee at Levely. Additionally, however, Judge seems to possess an unusual degree of power either within or over the World Government itself, as he can both influence the Marines' bounty process and issue certain orders directly to them.[27] However, during the events at Totto Land, he lost all the privileges from the World Government itself due to his failed attempt at an alliance with Big Mom.[46]

    Judge also has authority over Germa 66 as its supreme commander, giving him command of a very powerful military force.[1] Judge once led his army in a conquest that vanquished four North Blue kings, further demonstrating his might.[1] These positions and past actions have made Judge infamous throughout the Underworld.[47]

    Scientific Expertise Once renowned as a brilliant scientist, Judge worked alongside Vegapunk in an illegal weapon research and development team named MADS over 36 years ago. Together with Vegapunk, Judge was able to discover the blueprints for the creation of life itself, attributed to as the "Lineage Factor." A highly skilled geneticist, Judge has advanced knowledge of cloning and gene manipulation techniques, being able to conduct his research of the Lineage Factor by himself even after the World Government's capture of Vegapunk.[3]

    His children and the soldiers of Germa 66 are among Judge's genetic experimentation achievements. His daughter and sons were genetically modified as children to have limitless physical potential (although due to Sora's interference, Sanji's modifications were neutralized),[11] while his soldiers are artificially manufactured and programmed to be loyal and fearless.[3] In the years after Sanji left the Germa Kingdom, Judge further improved his genetic modification research that allows him to genetically enhance humans after birth and superhumanly evolve their bodies at a much faster rate, a process which is contained in Sanji's Raid Suit and allowed him to quickly gain an Exoskeleton and superhuman constitution within a day after using the Raid Suit a second time, compared to his siblings, who required years of training and development to complete their growth as super soldiers. Aside from cell biology, Judge also has knowledge of military technology developed by the Germa Kingdom. He is able to expertly use his scientifically modified weaponry, such as a spear for extreme offense and boots for enhanced agility and mobility. This allows him to fight evenly with Sanji.

    Physical Abilities As the supreme commander of the infamous Germa 66, Judge has tremendous physical strength and extraordinary fighting skills, fighting evenly with his son Sanji, a powerful martial artist who has defeated powerful opponents such as Bentham, Jabra, Wadatsumi, and even Yonji, a genetically enhanced Germa commander. Despite his large physique, Judge has extremely sharp reflexes, able to keep up with Sanji's agility and defend against his fast kicks without much effort. He is capable of jumping extremely high, a feat he further enhances with jets affixed to the back of his boots, and his men in Germa 66 were awed to see his power on display.[5] He has tremendous durability, as he was able to easily withstand Sanji's extremely powerful kicks that can shatter large boulders, steel, and even the incredibly hard body of a Pacifista, and could even grab hold of one of Sanji's legs, which was enhanced by the intense heat of his improved Diable Jambe technique, without showing any signs of pain. Despite his physical prowess, Judge still reverted to using underhanded tactics to overpower his son. However, he has yet to demonstrate any of these capabilities without his raid suit. After the Big Mom Pirates revealed their treachery, Judge claimed that they would not be able to have their way with him if he had his raid suit.[48] In spite of his skills, he was no match for Big Mom, who defeated him easily.[9]

    Advertisement Equipment Like the rest of the Vinsmoke Family, Judge has technologically advanced weapons at his disposal, such as a shape-memory and fireproof[49] raid suit, equipped with boots able to produce a propulsive thrust making him jump upwards and emit electricity,[12] a bulletproof cape,[50] reinforced gloves, and a spear that he uses as his main weapon, which is capable of concentrating electricity inside it.[12] The latter resisted Sanji's numerous kicks but was later broken by a single punch from Big Mom.[9]

    Techniques

Judge vanquishes four kings in the Conquest of Four Nations.

    Vinsmoke Judge was born 56 years ago in the North Blue within the Germa Kingdom.[4] At least 36 years ago, Judge worked alongside Vegapunk as part of the rogue research group MADS, which discovered the Lineage Factor.[51] Ten years later, when the World Government caught wind of this research, they deemed it a threat, and Vegapunk was arrested. Judge managed to escape the government's grasp and continued the research in the Germa Kingdom.[3] At some point he became the current patriarch of the Vinsmoke Family and the King of Germa.

    At another point in the past, Judge led Germa 66 in an event known as the Conquest of Four Nations, in which he vanquished four kings in the North Blue.[1]

    Before the birth of his children, Judge married Sora, thereby crowning her queen consort of the Germa Kingdom. Twenty-four years ago, she later gave birth to their first child and only daughter, Reiju, before conceiving fraternal quadruplet sons. Before their sons were born, Judge argued with his wife about giving them modifications. Judge was only concerned about giving his sons power, even if it meant making them emotionless, and forced his wife to undergo surgery against her wishes. After his sons' birth, Judge was pleased when Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji displayed their enhancements but was puzzled by Sanji's "peculiar" behavior.[16]

    Judge confronts Sanji over his son's behavior. Judge confronts Sanji over his son's behavior.

    When his five children were very young, Judge revealed his ambition for them to lead Germa 66 into battle and began training them. While Sanji's siblings excelled at their exercises and their bodies evolved, Sanji continually lagged behind due to his body remaining human, which greatly disappointed Judge. One day, Judge caught Sanji cooking and warned Sanji that he would need to cease his habits and train even harder if he wanted to catch up with his siblings. He then threw the food out of the palace window as he told Sanji to never make another meal again, causing Sanji to cry.[11]

    Eventually, Judge determined that Sanji would never develop the enhanced abilities of his siblings and decided to erase his existence by putting an iron mask on him and locking him in a dungeon. He then staged a state wake to "mourn" Sanji's passing, informing the kingdom that Sanji had died in an accident.[11]

    Judge allows Sanji to leave their family. Judge allows Sanji to leave their family.

    Despite his scorn for Sanji, Judge allowed him to be fed. As his four other children made great progress with their training, Judge expressed how proud he was and gave them a hug. Eventually, he decided to wage some wars in the East Blue. After the Germa Kingdom crossed the Red Line into the East Blue, Judge ran into Sanji after he escaped his cell. Sanji declared that he wanted to leave the kingdom, something that Judge was actually pleased to hear. He allowed Sanji to go on the condition that he never tell anyone about their relationship.[17]

    When he wanted to form an alliance with the Emperor, Big Mom, Judge did not want to marry off any of his precious children into her family. He then remembered about Sanji and decided to bring him back.[52] After Sanji gained his first bounty, Judge sent Marines and bounty hunters after his son. However, due to the poor depiction of Sanji in his wanted poster, the hunters ended up going after Duval instead.

    Whole Cake Island Saga Whole Cake Island Arc After the Germa Kingdom began to converge at Whole Cake Island, Judge reunited with Sanji. He attempted to speak peacefully with him as Sanji refused to recognize him as his father. Judge then asked Sanji what he did to Yonji, as Yonji has formidable strength but Sanji stated he just happened to be stronger. Judge then ordered Sanji to step outside, so that they could settle matters through physical force.[1]

    Judge battles Sanji. Judge battles Sanji.

    Judge and Sanji began fighting, with Sanji continually refusing to recognize his former family even stating he did not care what Big Mom would do to them when she hears of his refusal. Judge was very surprised at Sanji's strength and his ability to use Armament Haki before offering to give him a sword only for Sanji to stick with his vow of never using his hands. Judge then used his advanced technology and spear to gradually overpower Sanji, who activated Diable Jambe and moved to attack. However, Judge had his men form a wall between the two of them, and he stabbed through his men with his spear, blowing away Sanji with electrical energy.[12] Judge later spoke with Sanji again as he was being treated by Reiju, and he told Sanji that the Vinsmokes' alliance with Big Mom would make conquering the North Blue a guarantee. He then revealed to Sanji that he never saw him as a son and only as means to end. As Sanji was distracted by those words, Judge had Reiju put exploding wristlets on him to keep him from escaping the wedding, although unknown to him, Reiju circumvented his order by putting fake ones.[23]

    The next day, Judge was present to witness the arrival of his two oldest sons in the Germa Kingdom, expressing joy at their return.[54] As the reunited family ate breakfast, Judge warned his children to be prepared, as it was likely the World Government would soon discover their alliance with Big Mom and revoke their right to attend Levely. However, Judge was indifferent to this problem as the alliance would bring Germa 66 to the brink of achieving its ambitions. During the meal, Judge watched as Sanji defended the head chef, Cosette, from Niji's attack and declared that his family stood for everything he despised. Judge responded by showing Sanji a photograph of Zeff, threatening to have him killed if Sanji did not cooperate with the wedding.[22]

    He later departed the Germa Kingdom with his children and head for Big Mom's castle in his family's carriage.[55] On the way, they encountered Luffy and Nami. Judge watched as Sanji kicked Luffy and coldly turned down his request to return with him.[56] He then witnessed Sanji further insulting Luffy before kicking him repeatedly. After Luffy collapsed, Sanji returned to the carriage. Judge stated that Sanji severed his bonds with the Straw Hats and the Vinsmoke Family continued on to the Whole Cake Chateau.[35]

    The Vinsmoke Family meets with Big Mom and Pudding. The Vinsmoke Family meets with Big Mom and Pudding.

    After arriving at Big Mom's castle, Judge and his family had a meal with Big Mom and Pudding. Judge concurred with Big Mom's excitement about their soon to be formed alliance.[39] Sometime later, Big Mom showed the Vinsmoke Family (except Sanji) her collection of rare creatures, which were stored in books. Judge noted that no giants have been seen in Totto Land, even though it is supposed to be a utopia where all races can live together in harmony.[57]

    Sometime after the tour, Judge, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji had a private discussion in the Vinsmoke guest room. Judge told his sons that Pudding would be living with them on Germa Kingdom after the wedding so they could use her as leverage against Big Mom.[19] Big Mom then sent barmaids to serve alcohol to the Vinsmokes and get them drunk, and as the night went on, the euphoric Judge decided to save the real drinking for the next night, when they would have the Big Mom Pirates on their side. Judge and his sons then had a toast to Sanji, their "dud", actually being useful to them.[28]

    The Vinsmoke Family heads to the wedding venue. The Vinsmoke Family heads to the wedding venue.

    On the day of the wedding, Judge was shown getting dressed for the Tea Party.[58] After he was finished, he was accompanied by Reiju, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji as they made their way to the wedding venue on the rooftop.[10]

    After the wedding began, the Vinsmoke Family partook in the festivities. Judge was seated at the main table, conversing with the Underworld emperor Morgans. When Sanji and Pudding arrived at the venue, Judge was seen smiling.[59]

    Judge and his children soon took their seats and watched the vow exchange commenced. However, he was surprised to witness the priest getting shot down after preparing to assassinate Sanji. Judge then questioned what was causing this turn of events.[60]

    The Vinsmokes are held at gunpoint by the Charlotte Family. The Vinsmokes are held at gunpoint by the Charlotte Family.

    After seeing the arrival of the Sanji Retrieval Team, Judge immediately assumed that the chaos was being caused by them in an attempt to retrieve Sanji and was shocked by the lengths they went to. However, Charlotte Perospero then tied the Vinsmokes down to their table and chairs with candy and members of the Charlotte Family held them at gunpoint. Judge responded with shock at the betrayal and screamed at Big Mom to explain herself and berated his sons for their indifference at their current predicament. He soon broke down in tears after explaining his plans were all dedicated to revenge on all the countries of the North Blue and rebuilding the "Germa Empire". After his outburst, Perospero mocked his pleas and told him to be ready for his impending death.[15]

    Judge and his family are freed by Sanji. Judge and his family are freed by Sanji.

    After Katakuri told Perospero to shoot the Vinsmoke Family to death, Judge angrily remarked that if they had their raid suits, the Big Mom Pirates would not have their way with them as Perospero taunted him. Moments later, as Big Mom began to scream, Judge managed to stay conscious as his family's captors began falling all around them. To his surprise, Sanji then arrived and freed him by shattering the hardened candy around his body. Judge was then given back his raid suit and earplugs by the Straw Hats.[30]

    While glaring at Sanji, Judge was pointed to retreat into Bege's fortress. After putting on their raid suits, Judge and his family then took shelter inside Bege's fortress.[31]

    As Bege's fortress was suffering damage from Big Mom's attacks, Judge overheard the Straw Hats state it was Sanji's desire to save them. He then questioned Sanji on why he rescued them after the way they treated him, voicing how he could have let them die. Sanji responded by saying that his real "father" would be disappointed in him if he left his own blood relatives to die and refused to live a life where he could not look him in the eye. Sanji then grabbed Judge, angrily stating that the Vinsmoke Sanji that fled the Germa Kingdom died. He officially disowned Judge as his father once again, telling him to never show his face again. After this rant, Judge solemnly promised not to interfere with Sanji's life nor go near the East Blue again. The Vinsmoke Family decided to fight Big Mom in order to give the alliance an opening to escape. They then exited Bege's body and faced the Big Mom Pirates.[8]

    Big Mom strikes down Judge. Big Mom strikes down Judge.

    After Luffy tried attacking Big Mom with a Gear Fourth punch, Judge charged at Big Mom while voicing his failure at obtaining the dreams of his forefathers and condemning Big Mom for lying to him about making it possible. As they clashed, Big Mom shattered Judge's spear and struck him down with Zeus's lightning, breaking off his helmet. Before Big Mom could execute Judge and his family, the Tamatebako dropped to the base of the chateau and exploded, causing the castle to collapse.[9] As the castle fell, Niji and Yonji carried the unconscious Judge to safety.[34]

    Hours later, a bandaged Judge and his forces arrived at Cacao Island to aid the Straw Hats. After Luffy and Sanji made it back to the Thousand Sunny, Judge helped the Sunny by engaging with Smoothie's fleet. As the Sunny passed him by, Judge asked Luffy why he risked his life for Sanji's sake. Luffy did not answer his question and instead thanked him, much to Judge's annoyance.[61]

    As the battle against the Big Mom Pirates raged on, Judge was confronted by Charlotte Snack and another individual.[62] When the Straw Hats escaped Totto Land, Germa 66 prepared to withdraw. However, before they could retreat, Big Mom arrived at Cacao Island.[63]

    Judge and the Germa 66 later escaped Big Mom's territory.[64][65] However, Niji and Yonji had been captured and taken back to Whole Cake Island, so Reiju and Ichiji went to retrieve them.

    When the four siblings returned to the St. Germain, they brought along Caesar Clown, which sparked an argument between the two scientists.[66] Both came to the realization that their real problem was Vegapunk, at which point they decided to cooperate with each other and formed "NEO MADS".[2]

    Final Saga Egghead Arc While watching Vegapunk's worldwide broadcast, Judge and Caesar were shocked and frustrated to learn that Vegapunk was already dead,[67] and the pair began arguing again.[68]

    The video player is currently playing an ad. Appearance Reiju is a slim young woman with shoulder-length light pink hair (darker pink in the anime), covering her right eye and curling upwards at the tips. She also has purple eyes (blue in the anime), and wears light pink lipstick. Like all the Vinsmoke siblings, she has distinctive curly eyebrows that form a spiral resembling the number "6". However, unlike her brothers Sanji and Yonji, her eyebrows appear to swirl symmetrically in opposing directions.[7] Both of her thighs are tattooed with a number "6", referring to the name of the organization "Germa 66".[1][8]

    When commanding the forces of Germa 66, Reiju wears a raid suit, comprising a revealing light pink dress with a split in the center going down to her stomach and her navel, and covered by gold target-shaped symbols—references to the number "0" (Rei) in her name. She also wears dark pink gauntlets, a blue ascot, a pair of black headphones with the number "66" on them, and a patterned purple and black cloak shaped like the wings of a moth.[1] Outside of her raid suit, Reiju has been shown wearing a skinny purple headband in her hair, a short white satiny dress with a frilled neckline and a pink cravat, and dark high heels.[7] For formal functions, she also wears a red, thigh-length royal cape that is clasped in front of her neck.[9]

    In the Whole Cake Chateau infirmary, Reiju wore a white frilled dress shirt, and a bandage wrapped around her left leg.[10]

    During the Tea Party, Reiju changed into a short, sleeveless dress with a frilled V-neckline, as well as dark tights that reach halfway up her thighs. She wore a light-colored royal cape draped over a single shoulder. In the anime, her outfit colors are inverted, with her dark shirt being light pink, her thighs are white and her cape is pink.[11] When chaos broke out, she changed back into her raid suit.[12]

    As a child, Reiju had shorter hair, but wore a similar dark headband. She has been shown wearing a light pink dress with the letter "Z" on the right side,[13] as well as other dresses featuring the number "0" in various forms, white boots, and a dark ascot around her neck. As the oldest child of her family, she was formerly taller than her brothers before being outgrown by all of them by the time they reached adulthood.

Log Whole Cake Island Reiju's attire from One Piece Log Collection. One Piece novel HEROINES episode REIJU Reiju in One Piece novel HEROINES. Personality Unlike her cruel and abusive brothers, Reiju can be kind and empathetic, but this is frequently masked by a cool, callous demeanor due to the militarism of her family and her father's stern disdain for compassion. As a result, Reiju prefers to show kindness only when it will not endanger her own comfort or safety. During her childhood, Reiju would openly laugh at Sanji's misery as he was enduring his brothers' vicious acts of cruelty;[14] however, she confided to Sanji that she only laughed with their brothers to avoid being subjected to similar cruel bullying herself, as she would treat him with care and sympathy when they were not around.

    Reiju also expressed concern for Sanji when it was said that he had died (but, as usual, she hid her concern behind a smile).[15] She even cried in secret as she listened to their father cast Sanji out of the family, before helping him escape onto the Orbit and encouraging him to find friends on the sea. Her instinct for self-preservation resurfaced when she could not understand why Sanji would return to a home that abuses him, just for the sake of protecting his mentor.[16] However, to this day, Sanji remembers Reiju and their mother as the only members of his family to treat him with any degree of compassion.

    Reiju's general manner is mild and reserved, and she very rarely reveals her true thoughts and feelings to others.

    “ Just abandon Germa and run away, Sanji. Our family and kingdom has been too blinded by their past glory to have any hope for redemption. They are nothing more than destroyers, this world has no need for them. ” — Reiju confided in Sanji about her disgust towards their family.[17]

    Throughout her life, she has disguised her shame and disdain for her Vinsmoke heritage behind an apparent enjoyment of their luxurious royal lifestyle, and a false respect for their family's historical strength, achievements, and privileges.[18][19] In truth, however, Reiju's innate sense of morality leads her to believe that her kingdom is nothing but a war machine that the world would be better off without. This view applies especially to her father and brothers (excluding Sanji), but also to herself and her own actions as a mercenary.[20]

    Like her brother Ichiji, Reiju also prefers to think or muse silently to herself as she watches certain developments unfold, hiding her true thoughts and feelings behind an enigmatic smile.[21][22] Indeed, the only person to whom she has ever openly expressed her true thoughts and feelings, whether as a child or an adult, is Sanji.[23][20]

    Reiju has been shown to possess great intelligence and intuition, as she was the only person (among both her family and the Straw Hats) to suspect that Pudding may not be what she seemed.[24] She has also exhibited a calculating side; for example, she appears to be aware of Sanji's weakness for attractive women, showing him ten beautiful chambermaids that would be at his beck and call in order to convince him to accept his arranged marriage.[18] She also easily charmed the Sanji retrieval team in their first meeting, humiliating Yonji and apologizing for his behavior in order to prevent a confrontation with the Straw Hats.[1]

    Reiju's occasional actions and manner of speech can be slightly flirtatious. Even before she was properly introduced to Luffy, she unabashedly placed her mouth over his in order to suck out the poison which was festering throughout his body.[25]

    Vinsmoke Judge Reiju outwardly displays respect for her father. Unlike Sanji, who was put off by Judge's display of a portrait of himself standing above four defeated kings, Reiju defended their father's actions as an admirable demonstration of his power and strength.[7] Furthermore, Reiju's pride in her own royal status most probably derives from her father.

    Despite this, Reiju has stated that her loyalty to him, including obeying his instructions in order to achieve the family's ambitions, might on occasion have been forced by certain modifications made on her. Additionally, after Sanji was cast out of the family by Judge, she cried in secret at his cruelty to her brother. When Sanji revealed Big Mom's plot to Reiju, she replied that she was content to see their father and his organization crumble. She has also exhibited signs of resentment at her father's role in her mother's death.[20] After the Big Mom Pirates revealed their treachery, Reiju silently acknowledged that her panicking father was at fault for taking away Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji's emotions when they displayed no fear of death.[26]

    In spite of her resentment for him, she showed concern for her father when he confronted and was struck down by Big Mom.[27]

    Vinsmoke Sora Reiju deeply loved her now-deceased mother, visiting her regularly while the latter was bedridden in the final years of her life. While Reiju knows the reason for Sora's early death, which was the result of taking a dangerous drug designed to counteract the effects of the surgery on Reiju's four then-unborn brothers, Reiju does not allow Sanji to blame himself for their mother's death. Instead, Reiju cherishes Sanji and his kind personality, which Sora had given her own life to protect. As an adult, Reiju continues to recall memories of her mother with great fondness.[20]

    Like Sanji, Reiju also adopted her mother's legacy of compassion for the weak, albeit acting on it secretly in order to avoid displeasing Judge or offering herself as a target for her younger brothers' brutality.

    Advertisement Vinsmoke Ichiji Reiju appears to get along with her first younger brother, as she seemed happy to see his and Niji's safe arrival at Whole Cake Island for Sanji's arranged wedding.[28] However, after finding out that Big Mom wants to kill the entire Vinsmoke family, Reiju confessed to Sanji that she views Ichiji as a murderer who deserves to die. Though she pities him for having his emotional capacities forcibly removed by their father, she still dismisses him as barely human.[26] Later, when being attacked by Big Mom, Ichiji ordered Niji to leave a targeted Reiju behind, calling her weak. In response, Reiju called her little brother not-cute.[29]

    Vinsmoke Niji Reiju appears to get along with her second younger brother, as she seemed happy to see his and Ichiji's safe arrival at Whole Cake Island for Sanji's arranged wedding.[30] However, after finding out that Big Mom wants to kill the entire Vinsmoke family, Reiju confessed to Sanji that she views Niji as a murderer who deserves to die. Though she pities him for having his emotional capacities forcibly removed by their father, she still dismisses him as barely human.[26]

    Despite her detesting him, Niji appears to hold some care for her as he seemed concerned for her when Big Mom targeted her and attempted to save her before Ichiji told him to leave her behind.[29]

    Sanji As a child, Reiju did not bully her third younger brother like Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji, but she did laugh along whenever she saw him get attacked or put down.[14] However, she explained to Sanji that her behavior was the result of her fear of being similarly bullied by her brothers and that deep down she secretly hated their vicious and brutal natures. Sanji, in return, confided in Reiju that he wanted to grow up to be a cook. Reiju also treated Sanji's injuries from incidents of bullying and showed some concern when it was stated that Sanji had "died" in an accident.[15] Due to her sympathy for Sanji, she freed him from the dungeon he was locked in and helped him escape the Germa Kingdom. Reiju is shown to be deeply hurt by her father's disparagement and disowning of Sanji, tearfully telling him that he would meet kind people out in the world.[31]

    After 13 years of estrangement, Reiju's behavior towards Sanji was initially equivocal. At first, she sided with her family in viewing Sanji primarily as a means to achieve their ambitions. She appeared to cuff him with exploding wristlets when he was distracted in order to prevent him from escaping the wedding.[32] Also, while she thanked the Straw Hats for everything they had done for Sanji, this care seems to only extend as far as required to serve her family's best interests, as she completely disregards Sanji's own personal attachments and estrangement from his biological family.[33] Sanji, in turn, treated her coldly in their first reunion since their childhood and rejected her attempts to reestablish their family ties.[34]

    Throughout their reunion, Reiju often expressed surprise and intrigue at Sanji's mannerisms. She complimented the durability and strength he had developed since their childhood,[32] and quickly noted his gentlemanly manners towards the family's servants. While the rest of their family expressed outrage at Sanji's denouncements of their royal pride, Reiju simply smiled, fascinated.[35]

    However, after Sanji revealed to Reiju about Big Mom's plot to assassinate the Vinsmoke Family during the wedding, Reiju believed him immediately, stating he would not lie to her. She soon confided to him that she never believed that Sanji was a failure, since he grew to be the caring and compassionate individual their mother had always wanted him to be. Reiju tells Sanji the truth of his birth, revealing that their mother took drastic preventative measures to fight Judge's genetic engineering of his brothers, which only worked on him. After Sanji began bringing Sora food, Reiju was able to witness firsthand how proud Sora was of Sanji's benevolence. Reiju tearfully acknowledged his kindness and encouraged him to leave Whole Cake Island with the Straw Hats, even if it meant leaving her to die. Sanji, in turn, continually objected to the idea of allowing Reiju to die, revealing to a touched Reiju that he does care deeply for her.[20] On the day of the ceremony, she expressed worry for him after finding out that he was still on the island, wondering what he intends to do despite knowing Big Mom's plan.[11] After the Big Mom Pirates revealed their treachery, she saw Sanji running towards her and the family, which made her realize that Sanji had attended the Tea Party to save their family. Reiju was deeply moved by the extent of Sanji's kindness and thanked him silently for proving that their bloodline was not completely corrupt.

    For his part, despite his entire family being in peril, Sanji saved them from Big Mom's plot.[36] After Judge questioned Sanji on his reason for saving them, Reiju watched as Sanji gave his answer and smiled when a solemn Judge promised to never interfere with Sanji's life again or lay harm on the East Blue. Reiju and her family soon went out to hold off the Big Mom Pirates, but Big Mom herself targeted Reiju. Sanji and Luffy came to her aid as she looked on in shock at their actions.[29]

    At Cacao Island, Reiju and her siblings came to Sanji's aid once again. While Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji sought payback against the Big Mom Pirates, Reiju helped Sanji out of concern for him, saying anyone who hurts her little brother would have to answer to her.[37]

    Advertisement Vinsmoke Yonji Reiju and her youngest brother appear to have a typical sibling relationship, despite the royal setting. As his elder sister, she has no qualms with humiliating him in front of others when she perceives that his behavior is unbecoming. While this irritates Yonji, they are united in their efforts to realize their father's (and their family's) imperialist goals.[1] However, Reiju has referred to her father and three brothers as murderers whom she is willing to allow to die. Though she pities him for having his emotional capacities forcibly removed by their father, she still dismisses him as barely human.[26]

    Subordinates As a member of the Vinsmoke Family, Reiju commands the absolute loyalty and obedience of Germa 66's soldiers. They address her as "Lady Reiju", and expressed alarm and concern when she leaped from a Germa ship onto the Straw Hats' ship.[1] Reiju is aware of this loyalty, telling Sanji that such loyalty was their duty.[18]

    Unlike the rest of her family, Reiju actually cares for her subordinates, as when Sanji defended their head chef Cosette, she stated Sanji was a gentleman for such an act.[35] She also despises how cruelly her family mistreats their subordinates. In spite of this she is not above threatening her subordinates, if they get in the way of urgent matters.

    Friends and Allies Straw Hat Pirates When Reiju encountered the Sanji Retrieval Team on the edge of Totto Land, she made a significant impression on each of its members. All members were shocked at learning that Sanji had an elder sister. They become further shocked when they witnessed her sucking deadly poison out of Luffy's body, but this action incurred their gratitude and goodwill (especially Chopper's). Brook was also dazzled by Reiju's beauty, while Nami was astonished at both Reiju's actions and the information she divulged about Sanji's past. Luffy thanked Reiju for saving his life, but became agitated when he demanded that she give back Sanji.[1]

    After reuniting with Sanji, Reiju commented that the Straw Hats were a "puny" and insignificant force (despite their bounties and reputation). As a result, she stated that she could not understand why Sanji would prefer staying with them over returning to their family and resuming the privileges of royal status.[38] However, when Sanji was forced to violently separate from Luffy and Nami, Reiju was visibly downcast and asked Sanji if he would like to stop the carriage. Furthermore, after learning about Big Mom's plot, Reiju encouraged Sanji to return to his crew, knowing that they are the most important people to him and even describing them as the most wonderful people Sanji would ever meet in his life.[39]

    After encountering Luffy a second time in Whole Cake Chateau, Reiju helped Luffy shake off his pursuers and informed Luffy about Sanji's situation. During the exchange, she admired Luffy's loyalty and commitment to her brother, especially when he refused her offer of food (she recalled Luffy's promise to only eat Sanji's food in the future).[40]

    Later, while the whole group (including Sanji) discussed plans to ruin the Tea Party, Luffy mentioned the fact that Reiju had saved his life as a reason that he had to help save her (as well as the rest of her family).[41]

    At the wedding, Reiju decided to put her faith in Luffy to save Sanji.[42] Her faith was well put as it was thanks to Luffy's efforts that the Big Mom Pirates were incapacitated, allowing Sanji to be able to free Reiju and the rest of their family from their restraints. As Big Mom screamed, Chopper placed earplugs in her ears and Nami returned the Vinsmokes' raid suits to her and her family.[36] In return, she and her siblings rescued the Straw Hats when they were being restrained by the Charlotte Family.[43]

    At the behest of her father, Reiju and her family went to buy time for them to escape but she was cornered by Big Mom. As the Emperor attempted to kill her, Luffy and Sanji came to her aid by holding off Big Mom as she looked on in shock.[29] After Luffy defeated Katakuri and passed out, Reiju helped not only Sanji escape but Luffy as well.

    Advertisement Enemies Charlotte Pudding Reiju originally described Pudding as "sweet" and a fitting wife for Sanji, until Pudding revealed her true personality by attacking and holding her prisoner. Pudding revealed to Reiju that the political wedding was a setup designed to bring the whole Vinsmoke Family to Whole Cake Island, where Big Mom planned to have them all killed. While Pudding mocked her and her family, Reiju simply responded with a sarcastic remark about Pudding's "beautiful" personality.[44] To ensure that Reiju would not ruin her family's plan, Pudding used her Devil Fruit ability to alter Reiju's memories, causing her to forget their encounter.[45]

    However, when Sanji later visited Reiju and explained the real reason of her being placed in the infirmary, Reiju believed him immediately. This was in part because Reiju had been investigating Pudding on her own, revealing that Reiju never entirely trusted Pudding's sweet personality.[46]

    Big Mom Pirates Big Mom deceived Reiju's family in forming an alliance with her but was really plotting to assassinate them at the wedding. When Sanji informed Reiju of the situation, the latter appeared complacent with allowing Big Mom's plan to succeed as she stated their family (her included) were murderers that needed to be wiped out.[47] When Judge led his children into battle, Big Mom targeted Reiju with the intention of killing her but her attempt on Reiju's life was foiled by Luffy and Sanji.[29] When she, Luffy, and Sanji were subdued by Big Mom's children, Big Mom prepared to execute them until the Tamatebako exploded, causing the chateau to fall.[48]

    At Cacao Island, Reiju and her siblings battled the Big Mom Pirates again to foil their plan to ambush the Straw Hats and aid Sanji and Luffy in their escape.[37]

    Abilities and Powers Due to being a member of the Vinsmoke Family, Reiju possesses political power over the Germa Kingdom and over the World Government.[1] Unlike the members of most royal families, she (as well as her father and siblings) is also a commander of their kingdom's military, directly leading their forces in combat and other activities.

    As a member of the Vinsmoke Family, Reiju also has access to the advanced technology developed by her family as well as their extravagant wealth.

    Reiju has sharp intuition, as she had some suspicion that Pudding was not the kind person she appeared to be, a feat that Pudding herself complimented. She also has an excellent memory, as she is able to perfectly recall an intense argument between her parents when she was only three years old. She is shown to have a strong will, as she was able to withstand Big Mom's burst of Supreme King Haki and remain conscious from her loud scream.[49]

    Advertisement Physical Abilities A young Reiju bending steel bars. A young Reiju bending steel bars.

    Due to genetic enhancements, Reiju possesses immense superhuman physical abilities that were additionally honed through a stringent training regimen from a young age.[15] Like her brothers, she has an outer skeleton known as an Exoskeleton (外骨格, Gaikokkaku?), which allows her to take more damage than a normal human. She is noted to possess an extraordinary recovery rate from injury.[50]

    Reiju has immense strength, being capable of bending metal bars at a young age.[31] With a single hand, she grabbed a rampaging Luffy, who was wreaking havoc in Whole Cake Chateau, and quickly pulled him into the infirmary. Additionally, like Sanji, Niji, and Judge, Reiju is also extremely proficient in using powerful kicks, as she kicked Yonji (another genetically enhanced human and a fellow Germa commander) off their ship and into the sea, despite his attempt to defend against her.[51] She also successfully used kicks against Charlotte Smoothie, one of Big Mom's Sweet Commanders, in order to force Smoothie to release Nami.[43]

    Reiju is also capable of moving at rapid speeds and was fast enough to instantly evade Perospero's candy wave.

    Medical Expertise Reiju has great medical knowledge. As a child, she would often treat Sanji's grievous wounds from his brothers' brutal beatings.[15] Her medical knowledge also extends to toxicology due to her affinity for poisons. She could accurately identify Luffy's symptoms with the poison that had caused them and also estimate how much of the poison he had consumed.[25]

    Poison Pink Reiju sucks poison out of Luffy's body. Reiju sucks poison out of Luffy's body.

    As a result of her genetic enhancements,[2] Reiju wields poison-based powers that have garnered her the epithet of "Poison Pink." She can suck poison out of people via mouth-to-mouth and ingest it while having exhibited immense immunity to the most virulent of poisons, such as extremely lethal doses of an Armored Stonefish's skin poison, as shown when she saved Luffy. Said poison was said to be more than enough to kill any normal human instantaneously, as well as even a giant, and was causing Luffy, who has himself built up an extreme poison resistance, to debilitate to the brink of death in no time. Thanks to her ability, Reiju casually extracted and consumed said poison (and with it the rash it had brought upon) without suffering any ill effects (even noting it to be a delicacy).[25] It was shown that when she is consuming poison, the butterfly wings of her outfit gain additional rings on their pattern.

    Reiju is also capable of secreting poison from her body and combining it with physical attacks. The poison is potent enough to affect powerful enemies such as Sweet Commander Smoothie, who called it troublesome.[52]

    Advertisement History Past Reiju laughs as her brothers bully Sanji. Reiju laughs as her brothers bully Sanji.

    Reiju was born as the eldest of the Vinsmoke Family's five children. When she was 3 years old, just before her brothers were born, Reiju witnessed a huge argument between her father and mother about the genetic enhancements Judge wanted to perform on their sons; however, she did not understand what they had been discussing until much later. After her brothers' birth, her mother became bedridden, and during Sora's final years, Reiju occasionally visited her and listened as Sora recounted stories from Sanji's visits.[54]

    As a child, Reiju undertook the strict training that Judge had set for his children in order to allow them to take advantage of their genetic enhancements and develop superhuman abilities; this training was successful for everyone except Sanji.[15] Due to this, Sanji was bullied by their three other brothers during their childhood, and Reiju laughed along.[13] On one occasion, however, she tended to Sanji's injuries and confided in him that she only laughed alongside Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji to avoid being bullied as well. When Judge claimed that Sanji died in an accident, her brothers expressed amusement while Reiju hid her concern behind a smile.[15]

    Reiju frees Sanji from his captivity. Reiju frees Sanji from his captivity.

    During the six months of Sanji's imprisonment, Reiju and her three other siblings made great progress with their training. Judge expressed how proud he was and gave them a hug. After their brothers discovered that Sanji was in fact still alive, Reiju occasionally visited Sanji in the dungeon to tend to his injuries after Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji bullied him some more. After the Germa Kingdom crossed the Red Line into the East Blue, Sanji declared to Reiju that he wanted to leave the kingdom and become a chef. Reiju then broke open the cell bars and allowed Sanji to flee. As their father cast Sanji out of their family, Reiju overheard and cried in secret. She then directed Sanji to a cruise ship docked on the coast of the country that Germa 66 was attacking and told Sanji that he would find people who would treat him the way he deserves to be treated. She told the fleeing Sanji to never return to the Germa Kingdom.[31]

    Whole Cake Island Saga Whole Cake Island Arc Reiju encounters the Sanji Retrieval Team on the Thousand Sunny. Reiju encounters the Sanji Retrieval Team on the Thousand Sunny.

    Reiju first encountered Luffy's Sanji Retrieval Team right after they entered Big Mom's waters. When her brother, Yonji, taunted Luffy's group to try to take the antidote to Luffy's poisoning by force, Reiju kicked Yonji for his rudeness, boarded the Thousand Sunny, and introduced herself. Reiju cured Luffy of his condition by sucking the poison out of him. With Luffy's life saved, Reiju thanked the crew for taking care of Sanji. Reiju and Yonji then left the Sanji Retrieval Team alone without making a scene. They also decided to pretend that they never saw the Straw Hats to prevent Sanji's marriage from being called off.[1]

    After arriving at Whole Cake Island, Reiju conversed with Sanji in a castle on the ocean-going Germa Kingdom. Despite not having seen her in thirteen years, Sanji gave his sister the cold shoulder and stated once again that he cut ties with the rest of the Vinsmoke Family. Reiju attempted to convince Sanji to accept his royal heritage, saying that he would have power, wealth, luxury, and loyal soldiers at his disposal. When Sanji reiterated his refusal to go through with the marriage, Reiju commented that she likes his fiancée. When their father, Vinsmoke Judge, arrived, Reiju greeted him.[34]

    While observing Sanji's fight with Judge, Reiju was surprised and impressed with Sanji's strength. She tended to Sanji's wounds after the duel, but while Sanji was speaking to Judge, she allegedly cuffed Sanji with exploding wristlets on her father's orders to ensure Sanji's compliance with the upcoming wedding.[55] Sanji then tried to remove the wristlets, only for Reiju to inform him that his efforts would be futile without the keys.[56]

    On the day before the wedding, Reiju watched as Vinsmoke Ichiji and Vinsmoke Niji returned to the Germa Kingdom.[57] The Vinsmoke Family then ate breakfast together and talked about the war on Broc Coli Island, with Reiju saying that their involvement helped decrease the number of casualties later. Sanji then got in an argument with Niji over the latter's behavior toward food and women, and Reiju remarked on Sanji being a gentleman as he defended the head chef from Niji. As Judge berated Sanji for his actions, Reiju, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji left the dining hall.[58]

    Reiju later entered the Germa Kingdom cloning chamber, after Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji had attacked Sanji and left. She ordered the doctors surrounding Sanji to leave him in her care and expressed annoyance at the fact that Sanji had allowed himself to be beaten into such a state because of a restaurant owner. She wondered why Sanji cared so much, and why he would return to a place which he had tried so hard to forget.[59]

    Reiju treats Sanji's face. Reiju treats Sanji's face.

    At a changing room, Reiju placed a gelatinous mask on Sanji, which returned his swollen face to normal. Reiju explained that his face was still injured, but his current state would still be better for his meeting with Pudding. Reiju also said that even though Pudding's surname would not change upon marriage, Sanji would still be able to live a happy life with her if she likes him. Sanji got angry, but Reiju reminded him that it was his choice to come back and that this was the extent of the help she would give him. Reiju then asked where Sanji got his chivalry from. After reminiscing of Zeff's teachings, Sanji answered that he was just following the old laws of the universe. The Vinsmoke Family later departed the Germa Kingdom and head for Big Mom's castle in their carriage.[60]

    On the way, they encountered Luffy and Nami. Reiju looked away and closed her eyes as Sanji kicked Luffy and coldly turned down his request to return with him.[61] She then watched as Sanji further insulted Luffy before kicking him repeatedly. After Luffy collapsed, Sanji returned to the carriage and the Vinsmoke Family continued on to the Whole Cake Chateau. As Luffy yelled to Sanji, Reiju asked the latter if they should stop the carriage, but Sanji declined.[62]

    After arriving at Big Mom's castle, Reiju and her family had a meal with Big Mom and Pudding.[63] Sometime after the lunch meeting, Big Mom took the Vinsmoke Family (except Sanji) to her library and showed them her collection of rare creatures stored in books.[64]

    Sometime afterward, Reiju left the company of her father and brothers. She was later shot in the leg by Pudding and taken captive in her room. As Reiju was bound in a chair by Nitro, Pudding revealed her true nature, as well as Big Mom's plans to have the entire Vinsmoke Family killed during the wedding ceremony. Reiju listened silently, speaking only to mock Pudding's real personality.[65] As Pudding continued mocking Sanji and the Vinsmokes, she revealed the gun that she would use to kill Reiju and her family. Finally, Pudding extracted Reiju's memories with the Memo Memo no Mi and removed her memories of their encounter, replacing them with a soldier's memory of being hit with a stray bullet. Reiju was then taken to the infirmary by a guard.[66]

    Reiju and Sanji talk in the infirmary Reiju and Sanji talk in the infirmary

    After Reiju regained consciousness in the infirmary, she found Sanji sitting near her bed. After she noticed her leg injury, Sanji told her what happened between her and Pudding. Reiju accepted his explanation immediately, admitting that she had found Pudding suspicious and had begun investigating her. To Sanji's shock, she proceeded to tell him that they should act as if they knew nothing, and allow the assassination of their family (whom she referred to collectively as "murderers") to go ahead during the Tea Party. She then revealed to Sanji her memories of the circumstances behind the birth of her brothers, explaining that their mother had given her life to ensure that Sanji's capacity to feel emotions would not be corrupted by their father's plans. An upset Sanji nonetheless continued to resist, not wanting Reiju to be killed along with their father and brothers. Reiju then informed Sanji that she had switched out his exploding wristlets with fakes and urged him to leave Whole Cake Island with the other Straw Hats.[20]

    A short time after Sanji left the infirmary, Reiju heard Luffy wreaking havoc in the corridor outside searching for Sanji. As Luffy passed the infirmary, Reiju grabbed Luffy's wrist and hurled him into the medical room, closing the door behind her to hide Luffy from his pursuers. She then informed him that Sanji was already aware of Pudding's deception. Reiju also mentioned that she tried to convince Sanji to leave the island, but he was still worried about the chefs at the Baratie and the Straw Hats. Knowing that Sanji was not deceived, a grateful Luffy thanked Reiju before (much to Reiju's shock) jumping out of the infirmary window.[67] Afterwards, Reiju stood by the same window and looked outside, pondering to herself.[68] The night before the wedding, while everyone else inside the Chateau slept, Reiju remained awake by the window, still pondering to herself.[69]

    The Vinsmoke Family head to the wedding venue. The Vinsmoke Family head to the wedding venue.

    On the morning of the wedding, Reiju got dressed and accompanied her father and brothers as they made their way to the wedding venue on the rooftop. On the way, Yonji asked Reiju where she had been the previous night. In response, Reiju lied and said that she had requested a separate room in order to avoid the ruckus caused by their drinking. After one of Big Mom's subordinates confirmed that the bride and groom were both prepared, Reiju wondered what Sanji could be planning, given that he knew of Big Mom's intentions.[11]

    During the banquet, while the rest of her family were enjoying the festivities, Reiju sat calmly and tried to avoid the attention of Underworld Emperor Giberson.[70] After Sanji and Pudding arrived at the venue, Reiju sat together with her family at the central table at the foot of the altar. As the exchange of vows began, she watched silently as Big Mom's children sat themselves at the surrounding tables. She then prepared herself for death while hoping that Sanji and Luffy had a plan to escape. A few minutes later, Reiju watched in shock as Sanji avoided an assassination attempt by one of Big Mom's Sweet Commanders, Charlotte Katakuri.[71]

    The Vinsmokes are held at gunpoint by the Charlotte Family. The Vinsmokes are held at gunpoint by the Charlotte Family.

    Despite the chaos created by the arrival of the Sanji Retrieval Team, the Charlotte Family proceeded with the plot, with Charlotte Perospero immobilizing Reiju and her family using his devil fruit powers, and the other Charlottes drawing out their guns. Observing her father's despair and her brothers' amused indifference, Reiju pondered to herself that it was Judge's fault for taking away her brothers' emotions so that even the prospect of their own imminent deaths did not affect them.[72] Reiju then heard Sanji call for her to run, which led her to realize that Sanji had attended the tea party to save them. Deeply moved by the extent of Sanji's kindness, Reiju smiled at him and thanked him silently for demonstrating that there was still moral goodness in their family's blood.

    Moments later, as Big Mom began to scream, Reiju managed to stay conscious as members of the Charlotte Family began to collapse all around them. As their captors fell, Chopper placed earplugs into Reiju's ears to help her resist Big Mom's scream, before Sanji freed her and her other siblings by shattering the hardened candy around their bodies while Nami gave them back their raid suits.[36]

    As the Charlotte Family resumed their efforts to kill the Vinsmoke Family, Reiju and her siblings put on their raid suits. Reiju then rescued Nami by repelling Charlotte Smoothie, before retreating into Bege's fortress.[43] Inside, while Bege's fortress was suffering damage from Big Mom's attacks, Reiju watched on as Sanji confronted Judge, smiling silently as Sanji denounced Judge once again. However, with the attacks getting worse, Reiju and her family decided to fight Big Mom in order to give the alliance an opening to escape. After exiting Bege, they faced the Big Mom Pirates head-on. Big Mom focused her first attack on Reiju, hitting her directly with Prometheus, but Reiju remained uninjured. However, as she was recovering, Big Mom prepared to attack her again, leading Sanji and Luffy to jump out of Bege's body and quickly come to her defense.[73]

    In the ensuing confrontation against the Big Mom Pirates, Reiju remained with Luffy and Sanji as they attempted to buy time for Caesar Clown to flee with Bege. However, the trio was soon overwhelmed by the combined attacks of Big Mom, Smoothie, Galette, and Daifuku's genie. Before Big Mom could execute them, the Tamatebako dropped to the base of the Whole Cake Chateau and the bomb inside the chest exploded, causing the entire castle to collapse.[74] As it fell, the Vinsmokes, Luffy's group, and Bege's crew escaped from the chateau, with Reiju and Sanji escorting a collapsed Luffy.[75]

    Back at the Germa Kingdom, the Vinsmoke siblings defeated the pursuit team that went after them. After Niji contacted Mont-d'Or and tricked him into thinking that Germa 66 was crushed, they were informed of the direction the Straw Hats were heading. Ichiji then told his siblings to set sail.[76]

    When Luffy and Sanji were cornered by the Big Mom Pirates at Cacao Island, Reiju and her sibling arrived just in time to shield them from the bullets.[77] She warned Sanji to leave the island with Luffy immediately, since it would soon be the prey of Germa 66. As Sanji flew off with an unconscious Luffy in tow, Reiju used her poison abilities to incapacitate a group of Big Mom Pirates who were attempting to bring them down.[37]

    As the battle raged on, the Big Mom Pirates brought anti-Germa bullets and used them to injure Reiju and her siblings.[78] Despite those injuries, Reiju kept fighting. When the Straw Hats finally escaped Totto Land, Germa 66 prepared to withdraw. However, Big Mom arrived at Cacao Island before they could retreat.[79]

    Although Charlotte Brûlée reported that Reiju and Ichiji were in Chocolat Town, the siblings had actually returned to Whole Cake Island and broken into the laboratory, freeing their brothers and beating up the Charlotte siblings there. While escaping, the siblings came across Caesar.[82] Katakuri and Oven then arrived and attacked the Vinsmokes; however, Caesar released a poison gas that caused the Charlotte siblings to fight each other. After Caesar begged for their help,[83] the Vinsmokes, along with Caesar, successfully escaped the castle[84] and reached the St. Germain.[85]

    Reiju and her siblings watched as Judge and Caesar argued and fought,[86] until the two men reached an understanding and agreed to form NEO MADS.[87]

    Appearance Sora was a pale-skinned young woman with wavy shoulder-length blonde hair that had a tuft covering her right eye and dark-blue eyes. Her hairstyle and her overall facial features bear great resemblance to those of her daughter, Vinsmoke Reiju.[1] She wore a blue long-sleeved dress with frills and no shoes.

    When she was pregnant with her quadruplet sons, Sora had longer hair, pink lipstick and she wore a white short-sleeved dress with frills and pink shoes.

    Vinsmoke Sora Anime Concept Art Sora's concept art from the anime. Sora Pregnant Sora when she was pregnant with her quadruplet sons. Personality Sora was a very kind and caring woman with great strength of character where she loved her children and was fiercely protective of them, believing that they should grow up with normal human emotions and not as cold killing machines. As a result, she did everything in her power to resist her husband's experiments on their sons, to the point of sacrificing her own life.

    Sora deeply cherished compassion and doted in particular on Vinsmoke Reiju and Sanji, the only two of her children to exhibit empathy and compassion, in order to encourage these traits. She could also be very emotional, as she readily burst into tears when recounting Sanji's well wishes to Reiju and Époni.[4]

    Vinsmoke Judge Sora and her husband Vinsmoke Judge had conflicting ideals, which were complicated by their positions as the monarchic rulers of the warmongering Germa Kingdom. While Judge wanted to endow their sons with surgical enhancements that would give them superhuman power to wage and win wars, Sora did not want it to cost them their humanity. Ultimately, Judge forced her to undergo the surgery, and Sora, maintaining her opposition, took a drug to counteract the surgery and eventually succumbed to its after-effects.[4]

    After Sora passed away, Judge wished to move on from her way of doing things as he saw no merit and nothing to be gained by continuing the legacy of a deceased person and did not want his children to emulate her kind actions.[5] In modifying the Lineage Factor of their quadruplet sons against her will, and then neglecting and discarding Sanji (their only son to live up to Sora's efforts), Judge effectively trampled on Sora's wishes.[4]

    Advertisement Children Sora loved all of her children and it was this love which motivated her to risk her own life. While she was pregnant with their four sons, she took a drug that was intended to counteract the effects of the genetic modification surgery Vinsmoke Judge would ultimately force her to undergo. However, the drug failed to work on Vinsmoke Ichiji, Vinsmoke Niji and Vinsmoke Yonji, leaving Sanji as the only one capable of experiencing empathy.

    While not much is known about her relationship with Ichiji, Niji and Yonji, Sora's love was reciprocated by Vinsmoke Reiju and Sanji, both of whom would occasionally visit her in the medical ward. Sora doted in particular on Sanji due to the latter's kindness and compassion. She ate his poorly-made food (which tasted disgusting) with a smile and praised him as the "sweetest boy in the world" when he told her his hopes for her quick recovery. During Reiju's visits, Sora would proudly share with her daughter stories about Sanji's emotional growth.[4]

    After Sora's passing, Sanji continued to develop his cooking skills and decided to become a cook in her memory.[5] An adult Reiju also continues to recall memories of her mother with great fondness while harboring great anger and resentment towards Judge for contributing directly to Sora's death. However, this resentment does not seem to extend to her brothers. When Sanji finally learned from Reiju the reason for their mother's early death, Sanji was horrified and began to blame himself, but Reiju stopped him by telling him that Sora had no regrets about her choice.[4]

    Abilities and Powers As queen consort of the Germa Kingdom, Sora had authority over its citizens before her death, although her command appeared to be second to that of her husband's. She also had enough scientific knowledge to procure and consume a drug to counteract genetic enhancement surgery on her unborn children, although the drug had lethal side effects which caused irreversible damage to her health.[4]

    History Biography At some point in the past, Sora married Vinsmoke Judge, thereby becoming queen of the Germa Kingdom. Twenty-four years ago, she later gave birth to their first and only daughter named Vinsmoke Reiju and she soon became pregnant with quadruplet sons (Vinsmoke Ichiji, Vinsmoke Niji, Sanji and Vinsmoke Yonji) three years later.[1][6]

    Sora takes a drug to try to humanize her sons. Sora takes a drug to try to humanize her sons.

    Before their sons were born, Sora argued with her husband about giving them genetic modifications and she was against him turning their sons into emotionless beings, but Judge was only concerned with giving them the physical power and emotional coldness to fight and win wars. Sora was eventually forced to undergo surgery, but she took a drug that was intended to counteract the effects of the surgery. However, the drug she took only affected Sanji while weakening her health to the point of death. Despite this, Sora had no regrets and was immensely overjoyed and proud whenever Sanji showed signs of kindness.[4]

    In her final years, Sora was bedridden in the Germa Kingdom's medical ward where she was attended to by Époni. On one occasion, Sanji visited his mother and gave her a meal that he had prepared for her. Even though it looked and tasted terrible, she ate the meal and said it was delicious.[1] On another occasion, Sanji told her that he hoped she would recover soon, leaving her in tears. Sora was also regularly visited by Reiju, to whom Sora would often speak happily about Sanji and his continued emotional growth.[4]

    Sora died over 13 years ago prior to the Germa Kingdom's invasion of Cozia in the East Blue.[1]

    Advertisement Legacy Despite Vinsmoke Judge considering Sora's values to be worthless to the point that he scorned their third son for upholding her legacy, Sanji's kindness and compassion would ironically prove crucial in saving the Vinsmoke Family from being assassinated by the Big Mom Pirates in the future. Despite all the suffering his father and brothers caused him, Sanji still chose to save his family due to having the kindness Sora cherished and valued so much. Vinsmoke Reiju was also extremely moved by the lengths Sanji would go to save their family, despite the cruelty they had shown him.[7]

    Years later, Sanji developed the same modifications as his brothers during the raid on Onigashima due to repeatedly wearing the Raid Suit he had been given.[8] Fortunately, Sora's efforts were not in vain despite gaining genetic enhancements, Sanji still retain his compassion and empathy unlike his brothers as his new found strength along with his compassion which Sora died to preserve allow him to better help people instead of hurting the innocent as Sanji defeated Queen, further contribute to Wano's liberation from twenty years of tyranny under the Beast Pirates.[9]

    Anime and Manga Differences During Sanji and Vinsmoke Reiju's flashbacks, Sora's grave is shown where the gravestone has a different design and inscription in the anime.

    The video player is currently playing an ad. Appearance Ichiji has red-colored hair and curly eyebrows. Like all the Vinsmoke siblings, his distinctive curly eyebrows form a spiral that resembles the numeral 6. He is slim with long legs and stands at a height comparable to his brother Niji, who is slightly taller. His hair is fashioned into three prominent cowlicks on the right side and curls upwards slightly at the roots, like his sister's. His right arm bears a prominent tattoo: the number "1" in the center of a stylized circle, surrounded by flames.[9]

    When commanding the forces of Germa 66, he wears a dark red raid suit, including white gauntlets, a red ascot, a white cape (bearing a red "1" on its left), as well as a pair of sunglasses.[1] Outside of his raid suit, Ichiji wears a dark shirt with an upturned collar and a light cravat, as well as a pair of light-colored pants.[10] For formal functions, he also wears a floor-length, single-shoulder royal cape with an upturned collar and a neck clasp. However, unlike his siblings, his cape is light-colored.[11]

    During the Tea Party, Ichiji changed into a white frilled dress shirt, as well as dark pants and gloves. He also wore a light-colored royal cape similar to the one he was wearing previously, but shorter and clasped together with two chains. In the anime, his cape is dark red.[12] After chaos broke out, he changed back into his raid suit.[13]

    As a child, Ichiji did not wear glasses and he wore a red shirt with the number "1" on it, white pants, brown boots, and a dark magenta-reddish bandana around his neck. His hair was styled in the same manner as it is in the present.[5]

    Advertisement Personality “ Understand this, royals are meant to act like royals!! ” — Ichiji's arrogant royal behavior[14]

    Like most members of his family, Ichiji is proud of his royal status, looking down upon commoners and servants. Like his father, Niji, and Yonji, he expresses disgust at Sanji's displays of kindness towards such individuals and labels him a "disgrace" to the family name.[14] Despite being a prince of a highly imperialistic kingdom, however, Ichiji demonstrates little care for political affairs and said so when his family discussed the mission on Broc Coli Island.[15]

    Since birth, Ichiji could not feel empathy and sympathy, due to the genetic modifications performed on him by his father.[16] He is cold and brutal to the people he fights, caring only about his task and not their lives. He expresses disdain for the people who oppose him, commenting that the four hours he spent fighting on Broc Coli Island had been a waste of effort. He also expects his subordinates in Germa 66 to lay down their lives for him at any point, showing no emotion at their deaths. Ichiji has also demonstrated that even the prospect of his death is not enough to move him. After Big Mom revealed her treachery, Ichiji reacted with nonchalance, speaking only to reprimand his father's tears as pathetic.[17] Ichiji is notably more hardened than Niji and Yonji as he was more focused on the mission. When Reiju was attacked by Big Mom, Ichiji simply dismissed Reiju as weak and told Niji to focus on their task to hold back the Big Mom Pirates. When his father was struck down by Big Mom, Ichiji did not bother to rush to Judge's aid, single-mindedly focused on escorting Bege and Caesar to safety as he attacked Katakuri.

    Unlike his more hot-headed younger brothers, Ichiji's usual manner is very calm and measured. However, when he is provoked, he reveals his capacity for extreme violence and brutality. During their childhood, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji all enjoyed tormenting Sanji because of his relative physical weakness and his interest in cooking, but Ichiji appeared to enjoy it the most. His behavior during these encounters also demonstrates his aloofness, as he preferred to let Niji and Yonji do most of the attacking while he watched. However, when Sanji tried to retaliate against Ichiji during an episode of bullying, Ichiji proved to be the most vicious of the brothers, beating Sanji almost senseless and warning his younger brother to never touch him again.[5] When a despairing enemy soldier tried to shoot him during the war on Broc Coli Island, Ichiji told the man that he did not care about his dead family or his country before killing the soldier with his own gun.[1] Additionally, like his sister Reiju, Ichiji prefers to watch events unfold without interfering, forming his own opinions and speaking up primarily to have the last word in a conversation.[18][19]

    Despite his ruthlessness and engineered apathy, Ichiji has a strong sense of appreciation and gratitude. When Oven attempted to kill both Sanji and his captain, Ichiji wasted no time in saving his brother by assaulting Oven as repayment for saving his life during Big Mom's Tea Party.

    Like his younger brothers, Ichiji possesses a lecherous streak, as he became lovestruck when he first saw Nami.[20] However, he is able to put his amorous tendencies aside and think rationally, as he reminds his brother Yonji that marrying into the Charlotte Family would require forfeiting their freedom after Yonji stated a desire to marry Charlotte Pudding himself. Unlike his brothers, Ichiji doesn't make goofy face faults or making strange sounds when he sees beautiful women, however, his eyes still turn into heart-shaped.

    Vinsmoke Judge Ichiji's father highly values his "beloved" eldest son. He approved of Ichiji bullying Sanji as a child, and refused to consider marrying him off to one of Big Mom's daughters even to seal a powerful political alliance.[21] In turn, Ichiji often shows reverence towards his father.

    Ironically, because Judge had removed Ichiji's emotions before he was born, Ichiji simply accepted the impending doom of both Judge and most of the Vinsmoke Family when the Big Mom Pirates revealed their treachery. While Judge panicked and cried out in anguish, the eldest son simply called his reaction pathetic.[17]

    Vinsmoke Sora While she was pregnant with Ichiji and his brothers, Ichiji's mother consumed a dangerous drug in an attempt to prevent him from losing his emotional capacity. However, Judge's surgery was a success on Ichiji, and Sora subsequently died from the drug's aftereffects, during Ichiji's early childhood.[16] Nothing else is known about their relationship, while Sora was still alive.

    Vinsmoke Reiju As of yet, not much is known about Ichiji's relationship with his elder sister. Reiju was seen smiling at his return to the Germa Kingdom, implying that their relationship is friendly at the very least.[4]

    However, unbeknownst to Ichiji, Reiju secretly despises him, along with the rest of their family (except Sanji), because of his murderous ways. She intends to do nothing to stop the Big Mom Pirates from killing him, believing that there was no place in the world for any of them.[16] Indeed, though she does pity Ichiji and her other two brothers due to the modifications Judge made to their emotions, she still dismisses them as "barely human" even as she waits to be killed alongside them by the Charlotte Family.[17] Later, when being attacked by Big Mom, Ichiji told Niji to leave a targeted Reiju behind while calling her weak. In response, Reiju called her little brother not-cute.[22]

    Advertisement Vinsmoke Niji Ichiji appears to get along well with his younger brother, alongside whom he has co-commanded Germa 66 forces in combat situations. Niji complies without a response when Ichiji tells him to quiet down on their return to the Germa Kingdom. This could imply a slight amount of deference as the eldest brother, given Niji's confrontational behavior.[1]

    Sanji As a child, Ichiji, alongside Niji and Yonji, used to bully Sanji for his "un-royal" habit of cooking.[5] He was shown to be irritated by Sanji's kind and compassionate behavior. Ichiji even stated that, despite sharing the same birthday, Sanji was a disgrace to the family. This can be seen when Sanji's "death" was announced, Ichiji was relieved that he was gone, as he considered him useless. Even when Sanji was condemned to be imprisoned forever by Judge, Ichiji refused to let him off and continued to visit his cell with his other two brothers just to torment him. After completing a mission on Broc Coli Island, he stated that he could not wait to see his younger brother again, but Niji called him out as a liar. Furthermore, he seemed indifferent to the fact that Sanji did not greet himself and Niji upon their arrival for his wedding. As for Sanji, he trembled slightly at their return, implying that he may retain traumatic memories of their abuse.[4]

    After reuniting with Sanji, their disagreement over the proper behavior of royals was immediately reignited. While Sanji denounced their family's spoiled attitude and cruel treatment of servants, Ichiji once again labeled Sanji a disgrace and stated that he had never understood how Sanji's brain worked, even when they were children.[14]

    When Sanji attacked Niji, Ichiji distracted him by reminding him of his weakness, allowing Niji to overpower him. As Sanji laid on the ground, Ichiji took the opportunity to mockingly "welcome" him back to the family and tell him his status as a failure in the hierarchy.[23]

    However, despite their differences, he was pleased when it appeared that Sanji accepted his royal status. He smiled to himself when Sanji insulted and attacked Luffy, despite their friendship. Ichiji still bore only cruelty towards his brother as he mentioned that he and the rest of family will be unaffected if Big Mom takes Sanji hostage.[24]

    On the night before the wedding, Ichiji and his family expressed their "gratitude" to Sanji for making their successful future imminent and shared a toast to him while still calling him a failure.[25]

    At the wedding, Ichiji made it clear to Yonji, who was envious of Sanji being with Pudding, that Sanji was simply a sacrifice to Big Mom.[26] After the Big Mom Pirates revealed their treachery towards the Vinsmokes, Ichiji was surprised that Sanji freed him and the rest of his family.[27] Though he maintains a grim expression, he then listens to Sanji's silent demand to save Nami, Chopper, and Carrot from the Big Mom Pirates without complaint or hesitation before retreating into Bege's castle.[28]

    Once inside Bege's fortress, he overheard the Straw Hats stating that it was Sanji's wish to rescue them and showed no expression when Sanji disowned their father once again. He soon aids his family in fighting off the Big Mom Pirates to give Sanji's friends an opportunity to escape.[29] Ichiji and his other siblings later aided Sanji again when he was helping Luffy escape Cacao Island.[30]

    Advertisement Vinsmoke Yonji Yonji used to accompany his two oldest brothers in bullying Sanji, showing that they got along at the very least.[5] He was also excited at the prospect of a reunion between Ichiji, Niji, and Sanji.[4] Yonji even laughed at Ichiji's comment of the family being unaffected if Big Mom held Sanji hostage.[24]

    Subordinates Ichiji's subordinates in Germa 66 revere him as one of their commanders, cheering him and Niji as they returned from their brief campaign in Broc Coli Island.[4] As a member of their royal family, each soldier is also willing to lay down their life for Ichiji. One soldier was shown doing exactly this during that campaign, after Ichiji ordered him to take a bullet intended for him showing that Ichiji has little to no care for his troops.[1]

    Enemies Big Mom Pirates “ Even if our scientific power had been stolen, what could a bunch of idiots do with it anyway? ” — Ichiji mocking the Big Mom Pirates.[31]

    Big Mom deceived Ichiji and his family in forming an alliance, but was secretly plotting to assassinate him and his family. When the Big Mom Pirates revealed their treachery at the wedding, Ichiji (due to his lack of emotion) remained calm in the face of imminent doom, even calling his father's panicking reaction pathetic.[17]

    After Sanji freed him, Ichiji fought off the Big Mom Pirates by attacking Charlotte Perospero before he could trap them again. He soon helped Sanji's friends retreat into Bege's fortress.[32] Ichiji later decided to face Big Mom along with his family to provide an opening for Luffy and Bege's groups to escape.[29] When Katakuri hindered the escape of Caesar and the Straw Hat-Fire Tank alliance, Ichiji came to their aid and attacked the Sweet Commander, but he was ultimately no match for him and was easily defeated. Ichiji was saved from death due to the explosion of the Tamatebako and the collapse of the Whole Cake Chateau.[33]

    Along with the other Vinsmoke siblings, Ichiji defeated Charlotte Nusstorte and the pursuit team that went after them.[34] They later attacked the Big Mom Pirates at Cacao Island, utterly foiling their plot to ambush the Straw Hats. Ichiji also openly insulted the Big Mom Pirates, informing Oven of the crushing defeat of Nusstorte's army while comparing them to a bunch of flies, while further mocking Big Mom and her crew's intentions to steal the Germa Kingdom's cloning technology by calling them a bunch of idiots who would not be able to accomplished anything even if they were to succeed in doing so. He later aided Sanji and Luffy in their escape as a way of seeking payback against the enemy crew, attacking Oven when the latter attempted to kill Luffy to avenge Katakuri.[35]

    Advertisement Abilities and Powers As a prince of the Germa Kingdom, Ichiji has political authority over its subjects.[2] He also holds a high ranking within Germa 66, giving him authority over common soldiers as well as the ability to order them to sacrifice themselves in his defense. A portion of Germa 66, under Ichiji and Niji's command, was able to end a two-year war in four hours, thoroughly annihilating the side they were hired to fight.[1] After Judge was seriously wounded by Big Mom, Ichiji appeared to take command of the kingdom in his stead, ordering his siblings to move the ships out of Lake Aprico.

    As a member of the Vinsmoke Family, Ichiji has access to the advanced technology developed by his family as well as their extravagant wealth.[2]

    Ichiji possesses a strong will, as he was able to withstand a burst of Big Mom's Supreme King Haki and remain conscious from her loud scream.[36]

    Physical Abilities Along with the rest of his siblings, Ichiji was enhanced with genetic modifications that give him tremendous superhuman abilities. When Ichiji was a child, Judge's aide stated that his strength and agility was on the level of an adult man. He developed an outer skeleton that enhanced his durability;[37] his face made a metallic noise when Sanji punched it, and the force of impact hurt Sanji's fist.[38] Ichiji possesses immense physical strength. As a child, he was able to overpower and defeat an adult Germa soldier during a training regimen. By adulthood, he was able to grab the arm of an enemy soldier and twist it around so the soldier was pointing his gun at himself, keeping the gun stationary as he talked, although the enemy soldier was weakened from fighting.[1] He has a tremendous tolerance for alcohol, as he and his brothers continued to drink large quantities unaffected while the barmaids all fell intoxicated.[39]

    His physical durability is immense, and further enhanced by a fast recovery rate. Ichiji suffered injuries from his loss to Charlotte Katakuri, but he later easily defeated Charlotte Nusstorte, Basskarte, and Dosmarche and their army alongside his siblings.[34] Even after getting mowed down by a hail of candy-coated bullets, which could penetrate his normally invulnerable skin, he showed no emotion and continued to fight his opponents effectively.

    Ichiji is extremely proficient in hand to hand combat. While still a young boy, he could overpower an adult Germa soldier during training, which Judge's aide described as magnificent. By adulthood, he punched Charlotte Perospero with extreme speed and power.[40]

    Ichiji possesses a tremendous amount of speed, as shown when he instantly appeared behind Charlotte Oven and his subordinates after using Sparking Red on them.[41]

    Advertisement Sparking Red Ichiji's "Sparking Red" ability. Ichiji's "Sparking Red" ability.

    Ichiji possesses an ability that has given him the name Sparking Red. He can release blasts of potent light energy from his hands and eyes which pierce through his opponents.[41] He can also unleash this energy when he punches to deal explosive blows that are powerful enough to break Perospero's "Candy Wall",[42] and to make the "special Paramecia" type Mochi Mochi no Mi user Charlotte Katakuri split in half.[43]

    Advertisement History Past Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji bully Sanji. Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji bully Sanji.

    Ichiji was born in the Germa Kingdom on the same day as his younger brothers, while the Kingdom was still in North Blue. When Ichiji and his siblings were very young, Judge informed them that he had enhanced their bodies with genetic modifications, and instructed them to train so that their bodies would develop superhuman abilities. The siblings excelled at their exercises, except for Sanji who continually lagged behind. Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji were initially irritated with Sanji's poor progress, but they eventually took pleasure in bullying their brother for his weakness,[46] as well as for giving food to rats. During one of their bullying sessions, Sanji attempted to punch Ichiji to get his food back, but Ichiji retaliated by beating him viciously.[5]

    When Judge had Sanji locked in a dungeon and informed the kingdom that he died in an accident, Ichiji expressed indifference, since Sanji had been "useless" anyway.[46] However, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji eventually learned the truth that Sanji was still alive and occasionally visited him in the dungeon to continue bullying him.[47]

    After Sanji left the family, Ichiji and his siblings often mused about Sanji. However, their discussions typically revolved around the numerous amusing ways that each of them could conjure as to how Sanji may have died while living on his own.[48]

    Ichiji and Niji led a platoon of Germa 66 soldiers to end a two-year war on Broc Coli Island. Ichiji and his men ruthlessly slaughtered several enemy soldiers, and a lone survivor attempted to shoot Ichiji. On his command, however, a Germa 66 soldier stepped in front of Ichiji and took the bullet. Ichiji then confronted the enemy soldier, getting angry that the soldier was making him late for his brother's wedding, and shot the enemy soldier with his own gun. Ichiji and his men walked away, having won the war. Ichiji and Niji then climbed atop a building as they contacted an unknown person, preparing to make the two-day voyage to Whole Cake Island. Ichiji expressed anticipation at reuniting with Sanji, but Niji called him a liar.[1]

    Two days later, Ichiji and Niji arrived at the Germa Kingdom. As the Germa 66 soldiers gave them a hero's welcome, Niji was angry that Sanji was not there to greet them, but Ichiji told him to quiet down.[4] The brothers soon reunited with the rest of their family, including Sanji, while dining. After Sanji defended the head chef from Niji, Ichiji scorned Sanji for going against their family's ideals. Ichiji later exited the dining hall as Judge coerced Sanji by threatening Zeff's life.[49]

    Ichiji and Niji later met Sanji and Yonji in the Germa lab. When Sanji kicked Niji in the face, Ichiji reminded Sanji that they knew about Zeff. After Niji got back up and knocked Sanji down, Ichiji sarcastically welcomed Sanji back home and reminded him on his inferior status in the family.[50] Ichiji and his two younger brothers then proceeded to injure Sanji further before leaving.[51]

    The Vinsmoke Family later departed the Germa Kingdom and headed for Big Mom's castle in their carriage.[52] On the way, they encountered Monkey D. Luffy and Nami. Upon seeing Nami, Ichiji gazed at her in a love-struck manner. When Sanji coldly turned down Luffy's request to return with him, Ichiji smiled.[53] Ichiji then watched with a more serious look as Sanji continued to reject Luffy and Nami and then severely beat Luffy by repeatedly kicking him. After knocking Luffy down, Sanji returned to the carriage and the Vinsmoke Family continued on to the Whole Cake Chateau.[19]

    After arriving at Big Mom's castle, Ichiji and his family had a meal with Big Mom and Charlotte Pudding.[54] Sometime after the lunch meeting, Big Mom took the Vinsmoke Family (except Sanji) to her library and showed them her collection of rare creatures stored in books.[11]

    Sometime after the tour, Ichiji, Judge, Niji, and Yonji had a private discussion in the Vinsmoke guest room. Judge told his sons that Pudding would be living with them on Germa Kingdom after the wedding so they could use her as leverage against Big Mom. When Niji asked if Big Mom would use a similar tactic, Ichiji told Niji that it would not have any effect on the Vinsmoke Family if Sanji's life was threatened.[24]

    During the night before the wedding ceremony, Ichiji, Niji, Yonji, and Judge celebrated the anticipated sealing of their alliance with Big Mom. While they drank, they toasted to Sanji for being useful.[39]

    On the day of the wedding ceremony, Ichiji was shown getting dressed for the wedding, alongside his father and Niji. He and Judge inquired about Reiju's location, before being assured by one of Big Mom's subordinates that she was getting prepared in a different room.[9] An hour later, the Vinsmokes headed to the venue for the ceremony on the roof of Whole Cake Chateau. When Big Mom arrived to commence the banquet, Ichiji stood to the left of Judge, holding a wine glass.[12] Immediately prior to the arrival of the bride and groom, he sat at the same table as the Underworld emperor Drug Peclo, engaging in conversations with the guests at the table.[55]

    After Sanji and Pudding arrived at the venue, the Vinsmokes took their seats and watched the exchange of vows. Yonji commented that he would not mind marrying a beautiful woman like Pudding, but Ichiji and Niji reminded him on what it means to marry one of Big Mom's children. When Charlotte Katakuri unintentionally shot the priest during the assassination attempt on Sanji, Ichiji and his family were alerted.[56]

    After Brook destroyed the picture of Mother Carmel, the Vinsmoke Family found themselves restrained to their seats with members of the Charlotte Family holding them at gunpoint. As Judge cried out in anguish at Big Mom's betrayal, Ichiji casually commented on how Judge looked pathetic while he and his brothers did not have the slightest care about death due to their lack of emotions.[57] Moments later, as Big Mom began to scream, Ichiji managed to stay conscious as his family's captors began falling all around them. To his surprise, Sanji then arrived and freed him by shattering the hardened candy around his body, before Nami returned his raid suit to him.[58]

    As the Charlotte Family resumed their efforts to kill the Vinsmoke Family, Ichiji and his siblings put on their raid suits. Ichiji then punched Perospero in the face, before retreating into Bege's fortress.[59]

    As Bege's fortress was suffering damage from Big Mom's attacks, the Vinsmoke Family decided to fight Big Mom in order to give the alliance an opening to escape. After exiting Bege's castle, Ichiji protected Caesar Clown by blocking a volley of bullets being fired at them by the Big Mom Pirates. When Reiju took an attack from Big Mom, Niji expressed concern for his sister's welfare, but Ichiji told him to ignore her and to remain focused on the mission.[29]

    In the ensuing confrontation against the Big Mom Pirates, Perospero attempted to use a candy wall to block Caesar as he was carrying Bege and everyone inside him. Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji combined their attacks to destroy the candy wall, allowing Caesar to pass through. When Katakuri blocked Caesar's path, Ichiji attacked him. After a brief clash, Ichiji was overwhelmed by the Sweet Commander. As Big Mom prepared to execute her enemies, the Tamatebako dropped to the base of the Whole Cake Chateau and the bomb inside the chest exploded, causing the entire castle to collapse.[33] As the castle fell, Ichiji watched Caesar, the Straw Hats, and Bege escape from the chateau.[60]

    Back at the Germa Kingdom, the Vinsmoke siblings defeated Nusstorte and the pursuit team that went after them.

Like most of the other Red Hair Pirates, he wears a sash around his waist, to which he attaches his rifle in a pistol-like fashion. The only thing added to his attire is his spiral-patterned cloak.[8]

    Advertisement Personality Beckman appears to be a lot less fun-loving and a lot more relaxed than the other members of the crew are, acting as the level-headed member. He, Lucky Roux, and Yasopp are some of Shanks' most trusted crew members, as they are always seen when the Red Hair Pirates are featured, usually when something crucial happens.[1] He is a well-deserved vice-captain who silently supports the crew with a deep attitude despite their liveliness.[9]

    At times, Beckman seems amused at the actions of his captain, such as panicking when Luffy is taken[10] or getting even more drunk when he has already drunk a lot before and when Dracule Mihawk brought the news of Luffy's first bounty.[11] He is the first to speak out among the crew whenever they appear. He also seems to be the first to ask questions about the crew's situation, such as whether the World Government would try to stop them from seeing Whitebeard.[8]

    Friends Monkey D. Luffy Like the rest of the crew, Beckman also befriended Luffy after their arrival at Foosha Village. Just like his Captain, he had a lot of faith in Luffy becoming a great pirate. When Luffy declared his goal to Shanks and the rest of the crew, Beckman commented to his captain that Luffy will make it big someday which later came true, as Luffy is now considered to be one of the Four Emperors, like his captain. Luffy holds Beckman in high regards and like the rest of the crew he was appreciative of them saving him from Higuma and his crew of bandits.

    Advertisement Abilities and Powers As the first mate of the Red Hair Pirates,[2][7] Beckman is the crew's second highest authority behind Shanks himself. He holds a great deal of experience as the eldest of the crew's core members.

    As a combatant, Beckman is very powerful[3] with superb combat effectiveness and agility.[9] At the end of the Summit War of Marineford, Admiral Kizaru chose not to engage with Beckman when the latter had him held at gunpoint, even though Kizaru had fought Marco earlier and even Whitebeard himself.[12]

    Intelligence Beckman is especially known for his advanced intellect, having the highest IQ of any character introduced during the East Blue Saga (above the master strategist Kuro's and Nami's).[3][13]

    Stealth Beckman has demonstrated some stealth ability when the Red Hair Pirates arrived at Marineford to stop the war, able to climb up and sit on a Marine ship's mast to point his flintlock at nearby Kizaru, a Observation Haki user, without the latter noticing until Beckman made his presence known.[12]

    Physical Abilities Beckman possesses impressive physical strength. Twelve years ago, he easily defeated Higuma's crew of mountain bandits using only a cigarette and his rifle as a club.[14] Beckman is also extremely fast, as shown when he climbed up and sat on a Marine ship's mast to intercept Kizaru before he could attack the Polar Tang, despite having just arrived at the scene.[12] Another showing of his strength is when he managed to take the arm clean off of the Worst Generation pirate Eustass Kid.[15]

    Sometime later the crew settled in Foosha Village, here he met Monkey D. Luffy, who was always asking to join the crew.

    A year later, he saw the boy climb onto the figurehead and stab himself with a dagger under the eye to prove his bravery. With the rest of the crew, he arrived at Partys Bar where he toasted Luffy and his journey. Beckman tried to explain Shanks' decision on refusing to take Monkey D. Luffy with him to sea. Unfortunately, he found that his captain left him in somewhat of an awkward situation, since he seemed to enjoy mocking the fact that Luffy could not swim, leaving Beckman to explain that Shanks really was not that happy all the time. He then overheard the conversation between Shanks and Higuma, after which the latter ordered his subordinates to attack them. Benn Beckman thus told his captain to leave them to him, arguing that alone would be enough. He then stubbed out a cigarette on one enemy's forehead, and took out the rest with his rifle very easily. He then pointed the gun at Higuma arguing that if they were going to fight them, they should have gotten a warship.[14]

    When they were about to leave the island, he heard Luffy's announcement of being a great pirate, and when his captain passed by, he told him that Luffy would become great. The crew then set sail.[20]

    Advertisement The Spade Pirates Two years before the start of the story, the Spade Pirates broke into the cave where the Red Hair Pirates were partying, but none of them were surprised by the sudden visit. Ace introduced himself to Shanks, telling him where he was born and raised, citing Makino and his teachings on good manners. Hearing that name, the Emperor's crew members began to pay more attention and accepted Ace's gift, which was a bottle of liquor. The young pirate told Shanks that Luffy was his brother, which shocked the Emperor's crew. He listened to the captain's conversation with him and Ace about Luffy, as well as Ace's plans to defeat the pirates and the Celestial Dragons.

    As the Spade Pirates left, Beckman and Shanks commented on Ace's Haki and how the snow around him had stopped and returned when he left. Shanks then asked him what he thought of Ace, and he replied that he was naiver than he seemed, and should have joined the Revolutionary Army if his goal was to collapse the world, adding that with that step he would never become the captain of a fleet of boats, in addition to commenting on their reward. However, Shanks replied that Ace said that he was born in Baterilla and smiled. Beckman looked at the captain from him and thought that he was smiling a little differently than usual.[21]

    East Blue Saga Loguetown Arc When Dracule Mihawk informed the crew about the up-and-coming Luffy, Beckman was surprised at this fact. With his crew, they celebrated and invited the Warlord to the party despite Shanks and his crew already being worn out from another party the night before.[11]

Instead of an explosive or loud reaction, his legendary composure would likely break in a very specific, quiet way.A breakdown of how his stoic facade would crack includes:Physical Tell: He would instinctively reach up to push back his hair or adjust his glasses, doing it slightly faster or more rigidly than usual.Composure Shift: That signature, calm smirk he usually wears would turn into a deadpan, frozen stare—his brain frantically short-circuiting trying to compute the situation.Verbal Response: He wouldn't yell. Instead, he’d either go dead silent (staring at the floor) or give a very clipped, unusually blunt response to whoever caught him off guard.The "Blame Shanks" Route: If the teasing came from his captain, Red Hair Shanks, he’d likely let out a heavy, defeated sigh, pinch the bridge of his nose, and walk away entirely rather than engage.

    The Red Force is the flagship of the Red Hair Pirates, captained by the Emperor "Red-Haired" Shanks. Known for its menacing, dragon-like figurehead and large crimson sails, this massive galleon reflects the immense power and intimidating presence of Shanks' crew across the seas.Details and HistoryCaptain: Red-Haired Shanks.Affiliation: Red Hair Pirates.Appearance: Features a distinct figurehead that resembles a mythical beast or dragon, deep red bodywork, and large red sails.History: It replaced the crew's smaller, unnamed vessel from Shanks' early days in the East Blue. It made its grand debut later in the series (Chapter 434 / Episode 316) and famously arrived at Marineford to stop the Summit War.

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

    Wano Country Saga One Piece Film: Red The Red Force is seen in several flashbacks throughout the film, and once in real time at the very end.

    The silhouette of the Red Force is seen during Luffy's flashbacks to his times with Uta, and her sudden and mysterious departure from the crew. It is next seen during Uta's account of why she was left on the now-destroyed island country of Elegia with Gordon, with the Red Hair Pirates on board, seemingly toasting their plunder of the island. It is shown again during the true account, told by Gordon, during which the toasting Red Hair Pirates are shown actually to be crying over and toasting to Uta, after having left her behind.

    The Red Force was also seen briefly in Shanks' flashback during his and Luffy's joint attack against Tot Musica. The flashback shows the Red Hair Pirates celebrating a victory against another pirate crew, during which they sunk their ship and stole their treasure, which included a baby Uta locked inside one of the chests. (Interestingly, the Jolly Roger of the Red Hair Pirates, featured prominently on the sail of the Red Force, still includes a depiction of Shanks' iconic scar, despite the fact that Shanks' himself does not have the scar at this time.)

    It is shown a final time, from a distance and from behind, after Luffy awakens aboard the Thousand Sunny. The Red Hair Pirates are shown gathered at the stern of the ship, surrounding what is presumed to be a coffin, draped with the Red Hair Pirates' Jolly Roger.[4]

    The Red Hair Pirates are a tightly knit, fun-loving crew that mirrors their captain, Shanks. They are fiercely loyal, highly disciplined, and surprisingly diplomatic, avoiding unnecessary conflict but turning ruthless when provoked. They are widely considered the most balanced Yonko crew, with no weak links.The main crew of the Red Force features several core personalities:Shanks (Captain): Laid-back, charismatic, and deeply compassionate. He values his crew and friends over all else and prefers to laugh off minor insults, but becomes a terrifying force when anyone threatens those he cares about.Benn Beckman (First Mate): The cool, collected, and highly intelligent brains of the crew. He balances Shanks's goofiness and acts as a massive deterrent to enemies, relying on tactical thinking.Lucky Roux (Combatant/Cook): Jolly and perpetually seen eating. Despite his rotund appearance, he is incredibly fast and fiercely loyal to his captain.Yasopp (Sniper): A confident sharpshooter who is heavily driven by his dedication to the crew. He acts as a mentor figure and is fiercely proud of his sniper legacy.Aside from these four, the rest of the senior officers (including Limejuice, Hongo, Gab, Building Snake, Bonk Punch, and Monster)

    Shanks from One Piece is a highly charismatic, laid-back, and peace-loving pirate who deeply values freedom and camaraderie. Though incredibly powerful, he avoids needless conflict and prefers partying with his crew. However, he transforms into a stern, formidable protector when his friends or innocent people are threatened.A breakdown of his core personality traits:Carefree and Jovial: Shanks is easygoing, cheerful, and loves to drink and joke around. He is famous for shrugging off insults and even physical attacks, prioritizing fun and a leisurely pace of life over the typical ruthless pirate lifestyle.Deeply Compassionate: He fiercely values human life and friendship. He is known to be the "peacemaker" of the seas, going out of his way to stop major conflicts (such as the Marineford War) just to prevent further bloodshed.Fierce and Unforgiving: While generally kind, Shanks is not someone to be trifled with. He is ruthless against arrogant threats or anyone who poses an active, dangerous obstacle to the peace and safety of those he cares about.Sage-like and Strategic: He carries an aura of understated gravity. Instead of ruling through fear, he rules through respect and inspiration. He rarely makes a move without a calculated purpose, maintaining a delicate balance of power in the world.Mentor to the Next Generation: His overarching ideology centers on passing the torch. He serves as a noble, foundational mentor to the protagonist, Monkey D. Luffy, inspiring him to set out to sea with the same optimistic, adventurous spirit

    Lucky Roux is a cheerful, fun-loving, and fiercely loyal pirate who serves as a core officer and cook for the Red Hair Pirates. Famous for his immense appetite, he is rarely seen without a large rack of meat. Despite his round build, he is surprisingly agile, exceptionally fast, and absolutely ruthless when defending his captain.His defining personality traits and characteristics include:Carefree and Jolly: Roux is almost always wearing a massive grin. He keeps a positive and friendly disposition even during incredibly intense or dangerous situations, like the war at Marineford or standing off against the World's Strongest Swordsman, Dracule Mihawk.Hearty Glutton: He is known for having a massive appetite and thoroughly enjoys eating and drinking. Shanks often teases him about his constant snacking in a friendly, lighthearted way.Ferocious Loyalty: While generally easygoing, he is intensely protective of his crew. In Chapter 1, he demonstrated his willingness to kill without hesitation to protect Shanks from a mountain bandit.Surprisingly Deadly Speed: Fans and community discussions often highlight that despite his portly physique, Roux is widely considered one of the absolute fastest characters in the series. He combines his deceptive agility with formidable Armament Haki and point-blank marksmanship.

    Yasopp is the legendary sniper of the Red Hair Pirates and the father of Usopp. His personality is defined by his fun-loving, optimistic, and fiercely loyal nature, deeply valuing freedom. While he abandoned his family to pursue piracy, he deeply loves them and frequently brags about his son, Usopp, to Luffy.Yasopp's Personality and BackstoryCarefree and Fun-Loving: Like the rest of Shanks' crew, Yasopp loves to drink, celebrate, and have a good time. He knows how to keep morale high and can easily encourage the rest of the crew to join in on the fun.Deep Affection for Family: Although he left his wife Banchina and son Usopp in Syrup Village to chase his dream, he holds no ill will and made his choice with his wife's blessing. He talks about Usopp constantly. Despite his casual demeanor, he shows deep anxiety and hesitation about actually reuniting with Usopp after being away for so long.The Crew's Enforcer: While he is relaxed, he is intensely loyal to Red-Haired Shanks and will act as a ruthless enforcer when necessary—such as swiftly sinking a disrespectful pirate crew when he perceives them to be testing his captain's authority.The Red Force (The Red Hair Pirates' Ship)The Red Force is the primary, massive flagship of the Red Hair Pirates. The vessel is known for its dragon or serpent figurehead and its distinctive, deep burgundy/red color. It serves as a formidable symbol of the crew's power.

    Limejuice is a senior officer on the Red Hair Pirates' ship, the Red Force. He is fiercely loyal to Shanks and acts with serious, disciplined combat readiness, though he was known to have a more easygoing, smiling personality when interacting with his crewmates in the past.For a look at where Limejuice and other members of the Red Hair Pirates rank on the crew:1mAll 12 Members of the Red Hair Pirates, Ranked!HYPEKAGEYouTube · Dec 16, 2024Personality & CharacteristicsWhile he has been noted to smile warmly—like during his time in Foosha Village twelve years ago—his demeanor on the battlefield or in high-stakes situations is deeply stern and focused. As a senior officer aboard the Red Force, he possesses authority and commands great respect.Appearance & AbilitiesVisuals: He is a relatively thin but muscular, tall man with long, waist-length blonde hair. He is recognizable by his trademark black, nut-shaped hat featuring the crew's Jolly Roger, as well as his white gloves. He also sports a cape and sunglasses.Combat Style: He fights using an electrically charged staff and is highly agile, often using advanced aerial movement (similar to the Geppo/Sky Walk technique) to strike from above.

    Hongo is the sharp, cleanliness-obsessed doctor of the Red Hair Pirates. A senior officer, his personality blends a love for partying and drinking with fierce intelligence, mechanical expertise, and a pragmatic, sometimes ruthless, tactical mind.Beyond his medical duties, Hongo possesses these key traits:The "Neat Freak": He is famously obsessed with hygiene and cleanliness.Mechanical Genius: He can near-instantaneously dismantle and disable weapons, and provides critical combat analysis.Tactical & Deceptive: He is not above using cunning to protect his crew's interests, such as when he tricked Bartolomeo by describing a harmless substance as a deadly poison.Loyal & Serious: While he enjoys the classic pirate lifestyle, he shifts into a highly serious and focused professional when his crew is on the battlefield.

    Gab (also known as "Howling" Gab) is a senior officer on the Red Force, the flagship of the Red Hair Pirates. Despite his intimidating, beastly appearance, he is surprisingly timid, kind at heart, and terrified of bugs and ghosts.Appearance and PersonalityGab is easily recognized by his rough, animalistic features. In the One Piece lore, he is often noted as a gentle soul who happens to be a highly formidable combatant. Because of his unique mixed heritage (often theorized to be tied to legendary figures or minks), he faced heavy discrimination in his past until Shanks welcomed him into the crew.Abilities and CombatAs a high-ranking officer on the Red Force, Gab is incredibly strong. He relies on powerful vocal techniques rather than a Devil Fruit. By letting out a massive roar, he can generate razor-sharp air blades to slice through opponents or use sound waves to paralyze them.Crew Role and LoreHe serves directly under "Red-Haired" Shanks as one of the elite officers who manages lower-ranking members of the Red Hair Pirates. Because his crew possesses a remarkably high average bounty, Gab is considered an elite fighter among Yonko commanders.

He is deeply loyal to his captain, Shanks, and is known for being present at all of the crew's famous drinking parties.

    Foosha Village[2] (literally meaning "Windmill Village") is a little port village that is located on Dawn Island and is part of Goa Kingdom. It is the first setting of the Romance Dawn Arc, and is where the story of One Piece starts from.[1]

    Advertisement Layout and Locations Live Action Foosha Village Foosha Village in the live action series. Foosha Village resembles a typical rural community, with rustic wooden houses, docks and a few windmills. It is located to the east of the Goa Kingdom capital.

    A prominent feature of this sleepy village is Mt. Colubo in the background. Several notable mountain bandits live in or around the mountain near the village, causing the occasional chaos to the villagers or assisting them as needed. The town appears to be rather unknown, thus the townsfolk are thrilled and proud that their town might be known for producing an infamous pirate. They are led by mayor Woop Slap who usually is against most ideas presented by the other townsfolk on pirates.

    The town also has a local Sea King called Lord of the Coast. However, it is not as big as some of the sea monsters in the rest of the world and there is no indications it is as big of a problem as others of his kind may create. This monster is the reason why Shanks lost his left arm by saving Luffy.[1]

    Advertisement Partys Bar Partys Bar Partys Bar Partys Bar (パーティーズバー, Pātīzu Bā?) is a bar where Makino works here as the bartender.[1] In the anime, it is named "Patys Bar",[3] but this was later fixed in Episode of Luffy.

    It is, in a way, where the story first takes place. It was where Shanks partied with his crew, and where the incident between Shanks and Higuma took place. It was also where Luffy ate the Gomu Gomu no Mi and discovered its powers.[1]

    UO UO is a fish store owned by Gyoru. Luffy used to buy fish from here.

    Water 7 Saga Post-Enies Lobby Arc The villagers once again rejoiced at Luffy's growing infamy. Woop Slap was again annoyed by the raucous partying. Makino liked Luffy's crew, especially his "cute pet". Woop Slap was annoyed that an enemy of the World Government had come from Foosha, and wondered what Garp was doing about it.[6]

    Whole Cake Island Saga From the Decks of the World: The 500,000,000 Man Arc They village celebrated Luffy's Beli 500 million bounty with the Dadan Family.[9]

    Final Saga Egghead Arc The villagers and the Dadan Family received news about Luffy's actions on Egghead and Garp's supposed disappearance on Hachinosu. Shortly after, the sea level around the village rose, causing many of the villagers present to feel confused.[10]

    When Vegapunk's global broadcast began, many of the villagers were only able to hear the audio as they did not have a Visual Den Den Mushi.[11]

    Translation and Dub Issues While "Foosha" is meant to reference the village's many windmills (風車, Fūsha?), some early English translations, including the 4Kids anime, mistook it for Fuchsia (possibly caused in part by the contemporaneous Pokémon dub, where color-based town names were the norm). However, the VIZ manga has correctly translated it as Windmill Village from Chapter 1 on.

    Curiously, the English localization of the Romance Dawn video game romanizes it as Fisher Village.

    The Red Hair Pirates are an extremely infamous and powerful pirate crew ruling in the New World, captained by their chief, Red-Haired Shanks, one of the Four Emperors and a former apprentice of the Roger Pirates.

    The Red Hair Pirates are the first pirate crew to appear in the manga and the second to appear (next to the Alvida Pirates) in the anime. They are the main influences of both Luffy and Usopp's journeys, the former being inspired by Shanks and the latter being motivated to become a great warrior of the sea by his father Yasopp, a member of the crew.

It has two red stripes with black outlines that cross diagonally across the skull's left eye socket, representing the scars that the chief received from Blackbeard. After the Summit War of Marineford, the crew's Jolly Roger was slightly modified to depict the skull's jaw closed shut.[2][3]

    Advertisement Organization Though much of the crew's hierarchy remains uncertain, Shanks is identified as the group's Chief (大頭おおがしら, ōgashira?) and, as such, maintains overall authority while following as second in-command is the first mate Benn Beckman. Directly below him are the crew's eight Senior Officers (大幹部, Dai Kanbu?), each of whom are infamous in their own right. The Red Hair Pirates are also known to have many subordinate pirate crews under their umbrella, though rather than ruling over them, Shanks' actual relationship to them is similar to that of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet.[4]

    With the exception of Limejuice and Gab, all of the Senior Officers also hold a specific occupation within the crew:[5]

    Lucky Roux: Cook Yasopp: Sniper Hongo: Doctor Bonk Punch and Monster: Musicians Building Snake: Navigator The Red Hair Pirates in general consist of many members with notable bounties themselves, who together share a great deal of trust in their chief, making for a well-balanced and nigh-unassailable crew.[6]

    Territories The Red Hair Pirates have an unknown number of islands under their protection, including Gartel Island[2][7] and at one time Foosha Village.[8]

    Similar to his subordinate captains, Shanks is very protective of his territories, as his own reputation as an Emperor prevents him from just ignoring those who would disrespect his flag. Anyone who dares to cause trouble on those territories end up punished as a result, regardless of Shanks' own personal thoughts on the transgressors.

    Crew Strength Shanks with his closest officers. Shanks with his closest officers.

    The exact strength of the crew as a whole is unknown, but since their chief is one of the Four Emperors, they are recognized as one of the four strongest pirate crews in the world. According to Marine Commodore Brannew, the Red Hair Pirates are the most balanced and impregnable as a group, showing little weakness overall. They were also recognized as having a high average bounty. Thirteen years ago, they were already strong enough to raid a World Government ship, defeat a powerful CP9 agent, and steal a highly prized treasure that even the World Government feared.

    The chief, Shanks, has a bounty of Beli4,048,900,000, while his officers, Benn Beckman, Lucky Roux, and Yasopp, are all noted to be big names themselves. Rockstar, who joined Shanks' crew prior to the timeskip, had a bounty of Beli94,000,000 and is still considered to be a rookie. The bounties of every other crew member are still unknown.

    The first hint at the crew's strength came early on in the story from Luffy's past. The bandit leader Higuma tried to threaten Shanks with his Beli8,000,000 bounty, but Shanks wasn't the slightest bit afraid of the man and even put up with having a bottle of sake and his plate of food being smashed and spilled over him. Later on, Benn Beckman took on the bandit's men and wiped them all out with ease, telling Higuma that if he and the bandits wanted to take them on, they should bring a warship as backup. Moments later, Shanks did something shocking while rescuing Luffy from the sea - he scared away a Sea King just by staring at it, even right after the beast took his left arm.

    When Dracule Mihawk, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, brought news of Luffy's rise to fame, the younger, weaker members of his crew appeared to be terrified of the great swordsman and approached him with caution. However, the senior members (including Shanks, Benn Beckman, Yasopp, and Lucky Roux) appeared not to be bothered by his visit.[9] In addition, Shanks did not fear Whitebeard, who was another Emperor and known as the world's strongest pirate, as well as a known rival of his former captain, whereas some pirate captains quiver at the mere mention of his name. Rockstar also used his chief's name to convey to Whitebeard the importance of the letter he delivered to him.[10]

    The true depth of the crew's strength is that the World Government greatly feared what would have happened if the Red Hair Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates were to form an alliance. Right after their battle with Kaidou and his crew in the New World, they sailed to Marineford in just one day. Saint Shepherd Ju Peter of the Five Elders believes that the Red Hair Pirates are one of the few entities capable of stopping the Blackbeard Pirates. This faith was proven valid when Shanks and his crew finally showed up at Marineford, they were able to bring the war to a halt with words alone. Blackbeard, who had just strengthened his crew with five extremely dangerous individuals—Sanjuan Wolf, Avalo Pizarro, Vasco Shot, Catarina Devon, and Shiryu—from Impel Down, and stolen Whitebeard's Devil Fruit ability, avoided engaging Shanks' crew, simply saying they were not ready to fight them just yet.

    Big Mom also believed that with the combined military force of the Big Mom Pirates and Elbaph's army of giants, which is famed as the strongest in the world, she would have a chance to defeat Shanks and his crew.[11]

    Much like the other Emperor crews, the Red Hair Pirates have subordinate crews under their banner, but it is unknown how many they are.[12] However, it was stated that their subordinate crews themselves were notorious and powerful crews known and feared for their strength.[13] The truth to this, however, is that most of the subordinate crews are actually notoriously weak, something that Shanks himself stated, with most of them only still being alive in the New World due to Shanks' protection.

    When the crew first arrived in Foosha Village, they were seen with a ship that was similar in design to the ship used by "Crescent-Moon Gally" during Romance Dawn version 1. Not much is known about its capabilities, but it appears to be a standard pirate ship with no noteworthy features.

    It was the first ship introduced in the series as well as the first pirate ship. It was on the figurehead that Luffy cut and scarred his face to prove he was a man to Shanks and his crew.[14]

    During Shanks meeting with Whitebeard and Summit War of Marineford, the Red Hair Pirates arrived with their current ship, the Red Force.[15][16][17]

    History Past The Beginning of the Red Hair Pirates 24 years ago, after Roger's execution in Loguetown, Shanks started making plans for his own pirate career. He offered Buggy to join his crew, but the latter refused to work for him, and the two went their separate ways.[18]

    22 years before the current timeline, Shanks heard about a skilled sniper by the name of Yasopp and went to Syrup Village to recruit him.[19] After being urged by his wife, Banchina, Yasopp eventually agreed to join, though did have some regrets about leaving behind his wife and his son, Usopp. Despite this, Usopp held no grudge against his father leaving him and instead admired him as both a sniper and a pirate.[20] 19 years ago, the Red Hair Pirates rescued an island from a rival pirate crew, and Shanks adopted the orphaned two-year-old Uta, having found her inside a chest they had looted at the time.[21]

    15 years ago, Shanks went undercover in Mary Geoise to gain the trust of his birth family, temporarily becoming a "Devoted Blade of God" and gaining a Shallows Covenant. During Fisher Tiger's raid Shanks cut off his collar and shackles while directing him to the unlocked armory. Following the incident he met King Harald for the first time and later spoke freely outside of Mary Geiose.[22]

    14 years ago, Shanks fled Mary Geiose and went to Elbaph to warn Harald about the conditions of his Depths Covenant and additionally to visit Scopper Gaban to talk about the past, Roger's son, and his time with Harald at Mary Geoise, explaining to Gaban that the King was in danger. Upon sensing strange traces of Haki coming from Aurust Castle, the two attacked the now brainwashed Harald to protect Jarul and stop him from killing his own guards.[23][24] However, the three were unable to keep him at bay long term, having no other choice but to leave Loki to deal with Harald, as he dealt the finishing blow in order to save Elbaph.[25]

    13 years ago, Shanks and his crew had stolen a Devil Fruit, the Gomu Gomu no Mi, from a ship owned by the World Government that was guarded by CP9 agent Who's-Who,[26][27][28] keeping it in a chest guarded by Roux.

    Shortly after stealing the Gomu Gomu no Mi, they landed in Foosha Village, where they spent a whole year. There, they met Monkey D. Luffy, who became a friend and fan of the crew, which led to his wanting to become part of it. However, his request to join was constantly rebuffed by Shanks on the grounds that he was too young and weak to be a pirate yet. He was also constantly annoyed by Yasopp, who often bragged about his son, Usopp, which led to Luffy recognizing the young sniper upon meeting him.

    One day, Luffy stabbed himself under his left eye to prove himself to the crew, giving himself his trademark scar. The crew celebrated his bravery at the Partys Bar run by Makino, but still refused to let him join, which angered him. Then Luffy also found the Gomu Gomu no Mi inside Roux's chest and took a bite of it, thus becoming a rubber man. At the same time as that, a group of mountain bandits led by Higuma came into the bar and began hassling the pirates, though they did not retaliate as there was no need for it. Luffy became disappointed by this, but then he and the others realized that he had gained rubber powers from eating the fruit they stole, and Shanks scolded him for it, as eating it cost him the ability to swim.

    Sometime later, the bandits showed up again when the crew was away, and Luffy overheard them saying bad things about Shanks and his crew. This caused his temper to flare up, and he started insulting their leader, enticing the bandits to subdue him and attempt to kill the boy. But then Shanks and his crew arrived to save their young friend, and predictably, the bandits underestimated them until Lucky Roux killed one of them with a pistol and Beckman defeated the rest single-handedly. Terrified by their power, Higuma escaped with a smoke bomb, with Luffy as his hostage. The bandit leader takes the boy out to sea and throws him into the water, and he gleefully watches the young Devil Fruit user struggle to swim until he was devoured by the Lord of the Coast. The beast then attempts to eat the helpless Luffy next, but Shanks suddenly arrives in time to save him, but at the cost of his own left arm. Unfazed by this, he then frightened the monster off simply by staring at it and saying, "Get lost", and he comforted Luffy, who was crying over the loss of his savior's limb.

    Later, the crew finally decided to leave the island. Luffy then said he did not want to join Shanks and his crew anymore; instead, he would become a pirate on his own, which Shanks then said was still impossible. Angered by this, Luffy immediately declared his intention to become an even greater pirate than Shanks, as well as the Pirate King. The pirate captain became surprised upon hearing these words, as they were the same words that his old captain, Gol D. Roger, said before. Impressed and amused, Shanks then gave Luffy his prized straw hat, which he himself received from Roger, and asked him to give it back once he became a great pirate.[1] And with that, the Red Hair Pirates set off on their ship in search of new adventures, leaving behind Luffy with his dream. Returning to the Grand Line, Shanks arrived on the Sabaody Archipelago and met with Rayleigh, excitedly telling him about the young boy he met in East Blue who had spoken the exact same words as Roger.[29]

The Warlord brought news that delighted the red-haired pirate, which was Luffy gaining his first bounty of Beli30,000,000. Hearing that Luffy had finally proven himself a true pirate, Shanks threw another party despite being already hungover from his previous drinking session.[9]

Since Bartolomeo had been causing trouble in Luffy's name on Gartel Island, a friendly meeting with the Straw Hats would be bad for the Red Hair Pirates' image. Shanks then told Beckman it was time for the crew to make their move and claim the One Piece.[41] When Shanks noticed Admiral Ryokugyu's presence in Wano and his fight with Momonosuke, Yamato, and the Nine Red Scabbards, as well as his ambition to take Luffy's head, Shanks sent out a burst of Supreme King Haki, freezing Ryokugyu in place and forcing him to retreat.

    Appearance Rockstar is a fairly tall and burly man with dark skin and a red liberty-spikes-like hairstyle. He wears a colorful attire composed of a dark-purple, double-breasted coat (with buttons similar to Magellan's), left open on his chest to reveal a light-orange, wide-collared shirt, and a red foulard around his neck. He has a yellow sash tied around his waist, that instead of hanging only on one side, like seen on most of the other pirates, hangs down on both sides. He wears light-blue pants and brown boots and carries around a green-hilted saber, hanging on his left hip from a belt he has over the right shoulder.[1]

    Personality A confident man, Rockstar demonstrates a great sense of pride. When he was insulted by Whitebeard's men, he wanted to fight them because they had damaged his honor. He also tried to use the strength of his captain to back up the importance of the letter he delivered to Whitebeard. He seems very loyal to his captain, sticking up for him in front of Whitebeard.[4]

    Rockstar has a strong sense of justice and wants others to always follow rules.[5]

    Abilities and Powers Rockstar is currently considered a heavy hitter of the Red Hair Pirates, a crew led by one of the Four Emperors, which attests to his strength. However, he does not hold the rank of officer.[6] Before the timeskip, he was still a newcomer in the crew but held a Beli94,000,000 bounty from his previous pirating career.[1]

    Rockstar is a swordsman and specializes in a style called Splitting Sword (カチ割剣, Kachiwari Ken?) where he swings his sword straight down and cuts the opponent in two. He is also able to pierce his targets akin to a drill.[5]

    History Past Like most of Shanks' crew members, little is known about him. However, he at least became a famous pirate in a different pirate crew before joining the Red Hair Pirates 2 years ago.[7]

    Advertisement Sky Island Saga Jaya Arc Shanks sent him to deliver a message to Whitebeard, which the pirate captain promptly ripped up, going along with Shanks' prediction anyway. Whitebeard was also insulted by the fact that Shanks did not talk to him in person and instead sent a newcomer from his crew. Even so, Rockstar wanted to fight Whitebeard to reclaim his honor, but Shanks told him it was not a big deal and to pull back.[4]

    Advertisement Crew Strength Befitting a crew consisting of giants, the Giant Warrior Pirates are a very powerful crew. Their arrival at Egghead was met with great shock by the enormous Marine fleet present, who failed to even delay the Giant Warrior Pirates' arrival as they cut through several of their battleships.[3]

    Over 109 years ago, before their disbandment, the Giant Warrior Pirates were particularly infamous, and were known as having terrorized the world. Their strength was legendary, and was known even 100 years later.[5] The crew's infamy and legendary status was even enough to convince Hajrudin and four other giants to found the New Giant Warrior Pirates in an attempt to revive the crew.[6]

    Ships Great Magni The Great Magni (グレートマグニ号, Gurēto Maguni-gō?) was a ship that was in use by the crew at the time when Jarul and Jorul were the captains.[7] It has not been seen and its whereabouts are unknown. The name "Magni" is likely a reference to one of the sons of the Norse god Thor, Magni.

    Great Eirik Main article: Great Eirik The Great Eirik. The Great Eirik.

    The Great Eirik[8] is a giant longboat in use by the crew from the time when Dorry and Brogy were the captains. It was the Giant Warrior Pirates' final ship when the captains began their duel and effectively disbanded the crew over 100 years ago.[1] Upon the crew being reactivated, they returned to using the Great Eirik as their main ship.[9]

    More than 109 years ago,[10] the crew was once commanded by Jarul and Jorul. The two built a great reputation and were known as heroes of the giants. Eventually, they relinquished their position and Dorry and Brogy took over as captains.[11]

    102 years ago, Dorry and Brogy hunted down and killed two Sea Kings, which proved to be of equal size. Yuki, a little girl, asked them which Sea King was bigger, leading to an argument between the leaders.[12]

    The rest of the crew left the captains to fight it out on Little Garden, but were hunted down and captured by the World Government and sentenced to be executed. However, during their execution at Marineford, a human named Sister Carmel intervened, claiming that killing the crew would start a war between giants and humans. The pirates were granted a stay of execution and returned to Elbaph.[11]

    After fifty years, Oimo and Kashii tried to return for them but were captured by the Marines and tricked into the service of the World Government.[13]

    Water 7 Saga Enies Lobby Arc Oimo and Kashii were told the truth by Usopp, who had met with the two captains earlier, and the two immediately defected from their deceivers and escaped.[13]

    Thriller Bark Saga Where They Are Now Oimo and Kashii headed to Elbaph.[14]

    They later returned to Little Garden and convinced their captains to pause their duel and return to Elbaph for new weapons, seeing that their old ones had been destroyed.[15]

    The next day, during the Egghead Incident, the Giant Warrior Pirates heard about the Straw Hat Pirates being under seige by the Marines at Egghead. Hajrudin, being a representative of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, wanted to go rescue them, but they convinced him to let them go in his place.[16] By the time they arrived, the Marines were conducting a Buster Call on the island. As Dorry and Brogy lead the charge, the Giant Warrior Pirates obliterated part of the blockade around Egghead, proclaiming they came to help Luffy.[3] After landing on the island, Dorry and Brogy continued to charge while ordering Oimo and Kashii to lead the assault around the sides of the island, and to sink any Marine ships that they spotted.[17]

    Dorry and Brogy would go on to assist Luffy's friends, saving Jewelry Bonney, and having their crewmates take Franky and Bartholomew Kuma back to their ship.[18] In the meantime, their crewmates would continue to fight off the Marines. After arriving at Luffy's location, the two swiftly decapitated the Elder Shepherd Ju Peter, and had a quick reunion with Luffy.[19] After sharing a few words and signaling a retreat, Dorry and Brogy were confronted by Topman Warcury and Jaygarcia Saturn, who both attempted an attack on the group, but were repelled successfully.[20] Despite their success in fighting off the Elders, none of them stayed down, resulting in Dorry and Brogy deciding on running rather than fighting further. This was met with swift resistance by the Elders, who attempted to chase the group down and stop their escape. While this occurred, Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro arrived at the Giant's ship, cutting down a crewmember in the process.[21][22][23]

    The Giant Warrior Pirates take on the Marines. The Giant Warrior Pirates take on the Marines.

    Nusjuro's attack would be thwarted by the arrival of Oimo and Kashii, holding back the Elder and keeping him from injuring their friends any further.[24] Eventually, Nusjuro abandoned his attack on the crew and fled elsewhere to take care of more important matters.[23] While the giants were distracted, however, the Marines were able to sail their own ships around that of the giant crew's, resulting in a fierce battle in the area. Over the course of this battle, a laser would blow a hole in the hull of the ship, and Kashii would be injured by Vice Admiral Doll. During this time, as a result of more important matters, the other Elders would abandon chasing Luffy, Dorry, and Brogy, resulting in the three being free to make their escape, jumping onto the ship just as it began to depart.[25][26]

    Despite successfully repelling the Marines (with some help from allies), the crew was still under attack, now from Marcus Mars, one of the Elders. Mars used his abilities to chase the giants out onto the ocean, flying above and firing energy beams at them. The energy beams were successfully blocked by a few crewmembers, but ended up catching the ship on fire in the process. While this occurred, Mars declared that none of them would be allowed to leave Egghead alive. To the luck of the crew, Luffy and Bonney used their own abilities to transform into Nika, allowing them to assist in the defense.[26] Luffy and his crew quickly handled Mars, blasting him far away. At the same time, the giants moved to extinguish the fires caused by him on the ship.[27] Despite the arrival of the Iron Giant to assist, the crew was still bogged down with trouble as Saturn suddenly leaped onto their ship, grabbing a tight hold of it using his legs.[28] Many of the giants blocked Saturn's attempts on their lives, struggling. Fortunately, Luffy and Bonney came together to attack him, blasting Saturn right back off of the boat.[29]

    The giants' relief was cut short once more as the Elders refused to let up. Even with the Iron Giant doing its best to hold them back, Nusjuro and Peter slipped by, with Peter in particular preparing to crush their ship using his large body. At the last possible moment, the Iron Giant undid a knot somewhere on its body, resulting in a massive burst of Joy Boy's Haki being exerted from its body. The Haki forced most of the Elders back to Mary Geoise, knocked out all of the Marines, and made escape from Egghead an easy task.[30] The giant crew as a whole was confused by what had occurred, but in the end elected to ignore it and take the chance they had been given. The giants and Straw Hats both sailed away from Egghead, partying together as they did so.[31]

    Advertisement Elbaph Arc On their way to Elbaph, the Giant Warrior Pirates partied with the Straw Hats and got heavily drunk. Later, while everyone was sleeping, the Thousand Sunny 'drifted away' from the Great Eirik with more than half its crew on board.[32] The giants spent the next two days searching for it with the remaining Straw Hats, but ended up calling off the search upon finding no trace of it, and no proof that it had sunk, so they assumed their allies had made their way to Elbaph on their own. It was also then that Dorry and Brogy learnt about their new bounties, and told their Straw Hat guests about Elbaph's current political conflict regarding prince Loki.[16] After arriving back at Elbaph, a painter was used to create a rainbow, that was in turn used to sail back to the Western Village. On the way, they ran into their successor group, the New Giant Warrior Pirates, who were returning from a successful hunt with food for a planned feast. Conveniently, the lost Straw Hats arrived at the same time, allowing for a short reunion as all three crews docked their ships.[33]

    Following the reunion, Dorry and Brogy revealed a large banquet that had been prepared in the Straw Hats' honor.[34] Although the Straw Hats had to leave to tend to matters with Jaguar D. Saul, a few eventually returned, allowing the banquet to begin in full force. In addition, former captain Jarul arrived on a svarr to partake in the festivities.[35] The banquet continued for quite some time, but was eventually stopped entirely on account of an attack on Elbaph by the Knights of God, the elite guard of Mary Geoise, and some of the World Government's strongest fighters. Rimoshifu Killingham, a member, unleashed creatures called "MMA" unto Elbaph, wreaking havoc across the island.[36]

    The Giant Warrior Pirates fight the "MMA". The Giant Warrior Pirates fight the "MMA".

    With no other choice, the Giant Warrior Pirates embarked on the Great Eirik once again, but not before converting it into a svarr, allowing it to fly through Elbaph's sun world. Before they could begin their crusade against the MMA, they were joined by Scopper Gaban, whom they welcomed onto their ship.[37] The crew fought tons of MMA as they made their way over the forests of Elbaph, killing many of them as they came. While on the way, they spotted nine children from the Walrus School, sleepwalking directly into a fire. Miraculously, a huge amount of water hit the flames just in time, saving the children. As a result, the crew cheered for Elbaph's local firefighters, unaware that Jinbe of the Straw Hats had been the one to assist.[38] Afterward, the crew set back off, fighting more MMA in the nearby forest.[39]

    The Giant Warrior Pirates are overwhelmed by MMAs. The Giant Warrior Pirates are overwhelmed by MMAs.

    The crusade gradually began taking its toll on the crew, as damage mounted on their ship, and the MMAs showed no signs of stopping. As a result, the plan was changed to rescuing the children that had been taken hostage by the Knights of God. However, before they could depart, MMA versions of many of the crew's wives and mothers suddenly assaulted their ship, terrifying the entire crew. Given their inability to fight caricatures of their loved ones, the Giant Warrior Pirates were quickly overwhelmed, causing their ship to crash somewhere down in the forest. Fortunately, most of the crew remained unharmed from the crash, and quickly got their bearings. The plan remained unchanged: save the children from the Knights of God.[40] The crew decided that the optimal way to accomplish said task would be to split into two groups. One would fight the Knights of God, while the other saved the children. With additional help from Straw Hat Franky and Gaban's wife Ripley, they set off, rushing across Elbaph to try to make it in time.[41][42]

    Eventually, the crew arrived at the children's location, finding them still forced to walk forward. However, before they could act, a burst of Supreme King Haki knocked a number of members unconscious, alongside a few parents, and the children themselves. Having spotted the perpetrator, Brogy grabbed hold of Manmayer Gunko, unaware she had been possessed by Nerona Imu, the secret ruler of the world. Many crewmembers were shocked as Imu easily escaped Brogy's grip, before blowing his left hand off. Brogy was then forcibly converted into a demon, leaving him as a massive, evil shell of himself. One of the crewmembers tried to snap him out of it, but ended up being knocked far into the distance. To make matters worse, Dorry was quickly converted as well, alongside a few crewmembers who hadn't watched their footing. The unconverted crewmembers quickly fled for their lives as their former allies rose, prepared to kill Jarul on Imu's orders, and proclaim themselves Kings of Elbaph.[43]

    Before they could get far, Kashii attempted to plead with his captains, mentioning how Jarul had played a significant role in all of their lives. He was promptly dismissed by both Dorry and Brogy, who now believed Jarul to be too old and feeble to own his status as a legend. Kashii was horrified of their flipped personality and bloodlust but was cut off by Thormann, who warned him not to get too close. Ironically, Thormann's vicinity to the demons caused him to be "flipped" as well, leaving him as one of them. With no other choice, the remaining Giant Warrior Pirates fled from their now-evil crew.[44]

Ace upon being born.

    Ace had gestated in the womb of his mother, Portgas D. Rouge, for five months when his father, Gol D. Roger, was executed. To protect Ace, Rouge kept him in her womb for an additional 15 months, giving birth to him on Baterilla a year and three months after Roger's death but dying from the exertion immediately afterwards.[11]

    Ace was placed in the custody of Marine Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp, who put him in the care of Curly Dadan and the Dadan Family on Mt. Colubo on Dawn Island.[12][13] During his childhood, Ace somehow learned the identity of his father and encountered many people who voiced their hatred of Roger and any offspring he might have, causing him to feel alone and worthless. Once, this led to him beating some of them to near death, shocking Dadan. When Garp came to visit, Ace asked if he should have been born at all, and Garp replied he could only find that out by living.[14] When he was five years old, Ace met Sabo in Gray Terminal, which Sabo claimed to be from. The two shared a dream of becoming pirates, and so stole money and treasure in preparation for the day they would set off to sea, with Ace even sharing the secret of his father to Sabo.[15]

    Tale of Three Brothers Ace's first meeting with Luffy. Ace's first meeting with Luffy.

    One day when he was ten, Ace returned home after hunting a buffalo when Garp brought his grandson Monkey D. Luffy to live with Dadan. When he saw Luffy, Ace spat on him.[16] After the family ate the buffalo he caught, Ace ran off, and Luffy chased after him, wanting to be friends. However, Ace sent a tree rolling at Luffy, and when Luffy continued chasing him, Ace hit him and sent him plummeting into a chasm. It took a week for Luffy to return home, but he continued chasing after Ace for the next three months, not giving up despite everything Ace threw at him.[17]

    Ace met with Sabo one day, and they compared the treasure that they had stolen when Luffy, having made it all the way to Gray Terminal, called out to them. Since he found out about their dream to become pirates, Ace and Sabo tied Luffy up and decided to kill him but were unable to. Suddenly, Porchemy of the Bluejam Pirates came in, searching for Ace, who had stolen his money. Porchemy captured Luffy, and to Ace's horror, Luffy called out to him.[15] Porchemy took Luffy away to get Ace's location out of him, and Ace and Sabo worked to move their treasure to another location. When Sabo returned after moving the last of the treasure, he revealed that Luffy had not revealed Ace's location, to Ace's shock. He and Sabo then broke into the Bluejam Pirates' hideout to rescue Luffy, and Porchemy grabbed Ace, but Sabo freed him before rescuing Luffy. Ace and Sabo stayed behind to fight Porchemy, defeating him. Afterwards, Ace asked Luffy why he risked death rather than revealing his location, and Luffy revealed that Ace was the only person he had. Since the trio's actions would make them well-known to the pirates on Gray Terminal, Ace and Luffy brought Sabo into the Dadan Family's household.[18]

    Ace, Luffy, and Sabo become brothers. Ace, Luffy, and Sabo become brothers.

    The trio continued their adventures across the island, becoming more well-known to an increasing number of people. They hunted animals and fought each other to grow stronger. One day, they snuck into the Goa Kingdom, where they ate at a restaurant and broke out without paying. As they were running away, Ace and Luffy saw a man calling out to Sabo, but Sabo denied any connection to him. However, when they returned to the woods, Ace and Luffy forced Sabo to tell them the truth. Sabo revealed that the man was his father and he was the son of nobles but left that life behind. The trio then proclaimed their dreams as they plotted their future pirating lives, and with a bottle of sake he had stolen from Dadan, Ace poured three cups, and the trio performed an informal sakazuki ceremony to become sworn brothers. They continued their lives of adventure, visiting Foosha Village at one point and being visited by Garp on occasion as he attempted to raise Ace and Luffy to become Marines. They also moved out of Dadan's house to live in a treehouse.[19]

    One day, however, Sabo's father, Outlook III, and the Bluejam Pirates forcibly took Sabo. Ace tried attacking but was punched away by one of the pirates. Outlook III told the pirates to do whatever they wished with Luffy and Ace while he took Sabo away, but Sabo promised to go without a fight if Ace and Luffy were spared.[20] Afterwards, Bluejam told Ace and Luffy that Sabo was fortunate to live the life of a noble and kept his agreement to not harm the two by having them move boxes around Gray Terminal. That night as they prepared to sleep, Luffy wondered if Sabo was all right, but Ace reminded him that they were trying to forget about him. A few days later, Bluejam prepared to put Ace and Luffy to work burning down Gray Terminal that night by order of the nobles. Ace and Luffy protested this, but Bluejam ignored them and instead asked them about the location of their treasure. Afterwards, Ace and Luffy were tied to a pole, and as night fell, the Bluejam Pirates set Gray Terminal ablaze. As they were surrounded by flames, Ace cut himself and Luffy free with a shard, and they ran from the fire.[21]

    However, the duo was confronted by the Bluejam Pirates, who wanted to know the location of the treasure before it went up in flames. Ace eventually relented and told Bluejam, but to his anger, the pirates took him and Luffy with them to make sure they were not lying. Bluejam swore to take revenge on the nobles and said that Sabo was no different than the rest of them. This caused Luffy to fight back and get brutally attacked in return, and in desperation, Ace shouted at the pirates, unleashing Supreme King Haki and knocking out all of them except Bluejam. Bluejam subdued Ace and prepared to shoot him, but the Dadan Family suddenly came in to rescue their wards. However, Ace refused to run away with them as he confronted Bluejam, and Dadan stayed with him while Luffy and the rest of the family ran away.[22] Ace and Dadan managed to defeat Bluejam but became surrounded by the flames. Dadan severely burned herself to get Ace through the flames, and Ace raided the town for medical supplies to keep her alive before they returned to the hideout. As she recovered, Dadan asked Ace why he did not run, and Ace reflected that he wanted to keep Luffy safe.

    Later, Dogra came and told Ace and Luffy that Sabo had gone out to sea only for his ship to be blown up by a World Noble. Ace went to avenge Sabo, only for Dadan to force him down. Dadan said that the world killed Sabo and Ace would have no chance of avenging him until he grew stronger, ordering her family to tie him up. The next morning, Ace was released after calming down and received a letter from Sabo explaining his decision to set out to sea early, expressing his desire to meet his brothers again, and telling Ace to take care of Luffy in the meantime.[23] Ace went to the coast, where Luffy was still crying. Luffy promised to get stronger and pleaded for Ace not to die. Ace promised not to, saying that since Sabo had been killed before he found freedom, they had to live their lives with no regrets, and they decided to each set sail as pirates when they turned 17. As things returned to normal on Dawn Island, Ace and Luffy continued adventuring as they sought to become stronger and more independent, although they at first struggled to accomplish things without Sabo. One time, Makino visited Mt. Colubo, and Ace told her that he wanted to thank Shanks at some point for what he did for Luffy. The two brothers continued growing stronger together for the next seven years.[24]

    At the age of 17, Ace set out from Mt. Colubo and began his life as a pirate.[13] Less than a year after he started sailing, he was shipwrecked on the East Blue island Sixis. There, he met a man without a name, and gave the man the pseudonym of Masked Deuce. They talked about their families, and when Deuce brought up Roger, Ace's expression gave away his true heritage. With mixed feelings about Ace being Roger's son, Deuce left him. Several days later, Ace was still unsuccessful in getting off Sixis, and prepared to eat a fruit, which unbeknownst to him was the Mera Mera no Mi. A starving Deuce prepared to kill Ace for the fruit, but Ace spotted him after hearing his stomach growl, and offered him the fruit. Deuce became guilty for his attempted plot and refused, but the two reconciled and formed a partnership. They split the Mera Mera no Mi, but Ace consumed it first, gaining its powers. They then worked together to build a ship to escape, building the Striker, which ran on Ace's flames. The two set out, forming the Spade Pirates.

    As time went on, the Spade Pirates increased to twenty crewmates in number as well as a lynx, and they became more and more infamous, being targeted by hordes of bounty hunters. One day, they were confronted by a Marine warship battalion. The Marine warships catch up to the Piece of Spadille and begin attacking, as Ensign "Nailing" Isuka had come onboard earlier to distract the Spade Pirates from the warships' approach. Despite her strength, she could not harm Ace due to his Logia body. Meanwhile, Masked Deuce had a plan for the warships all along, leading them to a rocky reef area. Once one of the warships hits the rocky reef, it started to sink. Isuka quickly stopped fighting and jumped into the water to save her shipwrecked comrades, and as she started to tire and drown, Ace saves her life by throwing her a life preserver, and she is angry at his actions. From that day forth, she swore to chase down Ace. She would have numerous encounters with the Spade Pirates as a result, but Ace always easily dealt with her with a casual attitude.

    Incident at Sabaody Archipelago Eventually, the Spade Pirates reached the Sabaody Archipelago, where they had to wait three days for their ship to be coated. After encountering and eluding Isuka again, Ace and Deuce explored the Archipelago, Ace tried the food at numerous stalls, which Deuce paid for with money from Ace's wallet, which he had dropped back on the ship, and they went on the Ferris wheel in Sabaody Park. After their first ride, Isuka finds Ace and Deuce again while they are getting out of the Ferris Wheel. As she and Ace quarrel, their gondola is locked and the three are sent on the ride. Though the mood is initially awkward, Ace was actually enjoying the view, and Isuka tells Deuce that the burn scar on her hand that he was staring at came from when pirates burned down her village when she was a child, during which her parents were killed. She had been saved from the fire by Lieutenant Commander Draw, who had since become a Vice Admiral. She now wants no children to go through the same experience as her.

    She recommends that Ace quit being a pirate, as she does not see him as evil. She even offered Ace the chance to become a Marine, but Ace does not like the idea of quitting piracy and jumps out of the gondola while the Ferris wheel was still in motion. Deuce wonders if Isuka will take him hostage to get Ace to come back, but she replies that Justice does not take hostages and that she is on holiday anyway.

    Three days later, Ace and Deuce came to the slums, where they fed some poor children. They were then approached by Isuka and Vice Admiral Draw, who gave Ace an official invitation from the World Government to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Ace refused due to his disdain for the system, and although Draw shared his feelings, the Vice Admiral took the opportunity to kill him. Draw attacked with flamethrowers on his arms, setting the slums ablaze, which angered Ace as he went to rescue the children there. Isuka assisted him, and Ace attacked Draw, but struggled against the Vice Admiral's Armament Haki. Draw grabbed Ace by the neck and prepared to kill him, but Ace's flames caused Draw's fuel tank to explode, injuring both of them. Ace then started overwhelming Draw in the fight, awakening his Armament Haki in the process, and after a final clash he defeated the Vice Admiral. Ace then gave Isuka the opportunity to go on his ship and hunt him down in close quarters, but she refused, wanting to still be a Marine. Ace and Deuce returned to their ship as it left Sabaody, bidding a final farewell to Isuka.[25]

    Advertisement Journey into the New World The Spade Pirates then headed to Fish-Man Island, and Ace went off to a cheap cafe. There, he talked with Aladine about Whitebeard and Jinbe protecting the Ryugu Kingdom from uprisings. He then returned to his crew and ship, and Deuce revealed to him his new bounty, which was now greatly above Beli100,000,000. Seeing the Whitebeard Pirates' flag, Ace burned it to declare his intention of taking down all the Four Emperors, and he and his crew quickly left Fish-Man Island for the New World before anyone saw what happened.[26] After reaching the New World, Ace hunted down Shanks in order to fulfill his intention of meeting him. He discovered Shanks and his crew on a winter island and revealed his connection to Luffy. He declared his intention to grow his reputation by bringing down most figures of power, and asked Shanks about the scars Blackbeard had given him before departing from the island.[13][26]

    Then, at least one year within his journey (four years before the current timeline), Ace and his crew traveled to the Wano Country and ended up washing ashore a beach in Kuri, where they were found by the residents of Amigasa Village. He was tied to a tree with his crewmates while the starving villagers helped themselves to their food and water. With his ability, Ace easily freed himself and approached a young girl named Tama, who he asked wanted dessert to go with her meal. They bonded after that, and during his stay in the village, Ace learned how to weave a kasa. When it came time for the Spade Pirates to leave, Tama wanted to go out to sea with Ace, but he told her that she was too young at the time. He promised that he would take her with him if she became a kunoichi by the time he returned.[27][28][29]

    Also during this time, Ace and his crew went to Onigashima to kill Kaidou and rescue the abducted children. However, Kaidou was away on an expedition at the time, so Ace never encountered him or any of his top subordinates. After doing so much damage to Kaidou's castle, Ace met Yamato, who decided to fight him because of boredom. During the scuffle, Yamato broke the dragon statue at the island's entrance to show disdain for Kaidou. Ace then left a mark on the statue and took responsibility for breaking it. Afterwards, Ace and Yamato became acquainted.[30][31] While drinking sake together, Ace told Yamato about Luffy and his dream. Before parting ways, Yamato gave Ace a vivre card.[32] As Ace continued his journey on the sea's he garnered much infamy by sinking battleships and burning down mighty cities.[33]

    Advertisement Becoming Whitebeard's Son As he searched the seas for Whitebeard, he plotted to take advantage of another attack on the Emperor to strike at him while his crew was weaker, and he and his crew went to one of Whitebeard's islands which they had heard he was heading for. However, they were confronted by Jinbe, who had been following them around. Angered at Ace burning Whitebeard's flag on Fish-Man Island, Jinbe intended to battle him to prevent him from going after Whitebeard.[26] The battle lasted for five days and ended in a stalemate, with both combatants collapsing from exhaustion.[34]

    Whitebeard adopts Ace as a "son". Whitebeard adopts Ace as a "son".

    Whitebeard, who had heard that Ace intended to take his head, arrived with his crew and the Moby Dick just after the battle between Jinbe and Ace. Whitebeard told his crew that he alone would be enough, and proceeded to attack Ace's crew. Still exhausted from his fierce battle with Jinbe, Ace got to his feet and cut off Whitebeard from his crew with a wall of flames. Though his crew protested, he commanded them to run while he stalled Whitebeard. The older pirate questioned if Ace had lost his nerve, but Ace clarified that he would stay if his crew were allowed to leave. [34]

    Whitebeard easily defeated the rookie but was impressed by his protective impulse and offered Ace a place on his crew. Ace refused, but was knocked out and brought onto Whitebeard's ship. Ace's crew came to retrieve him, though they were beaten up and taken onto the ship with their captain.[34]

    When Ace came to, he was greeted by Thatch, who he questioned about whether it was a good idea to leave him unrestrained. Ace remained on board the ship and continued to attempt to kill Whitebeard, though each time he was easily repelled. After the hundredth attempt, he asked Marco why the crew referred to Whitebeard as 'Pops', which Marco explained. Marco then gave him an ultimatum: Leave the ship and come back stronger to keep trying to murder Whitebeard, or join the crew. Ace chose to join the crew and took Whitebeard's mark on his back, becoming a member of the Whitebeard Pirates.[34]

    After defeating Doma and forcing him to surrender, he was promoted to the position of 2nd division commander.[34] He and one of his subordinates, Teach, were on relatively good terms. Ace asked if Teach had wanted the commander position himself, as he was certainly strong enough and had seniority. Teach just laughed and said that he had no interest in moving up the ladder.

    At some point, Ace forced Oliva to surrender after discovering his involvement in slave trade.

    One day, Ace decided to reveal his lineage to Whitebeard, who merely laughed it off, saying that his personality was nothing like that of Roger. (According to Sengoku, Whitebeard already knew.) When Ace asked if Whitebeard would kick him out due to him and Roger being enemies in the past, Whitebeard simply stated that his past does not matter, as everyone is a "child of the sea". At one point, Ace gave the kasa he made in Wano to Little Oars Jr. to protect him from the sun.[35]

    At some point, Ace talked with Whitebeard and some other crewmates about going to war with Kaidou in order to liberate Wano Country and avenge Kouzuki Oden. Unfortunately, Whitebeard never approved of this request, fearing the vast number of casualties that would almost surely come from a war between two Emperors.[36]

    Around this time Ace defeated Hanafuda,[37] a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, leaving a vacant seat within the system. Six months later, Ace learned that Bartholomew Kuma had been chosen as the new Warlord.[38]

    Sometime after the start of the story, Ace was excited to learn that Luffy got his first bounty, and proudly showed Luffy's wanted poster to Whitebeard and Jinbe.[39][40]

    Soon after, Teach murdered his crewmate Thatch in order to steal the Yami Yami no Mi and fled. Since Ace was his commander and the Whitebeard Pirates live by a code in which they avenge fallen comrades, Ace would have been sent after the murderer. Whitebeard, however, felt apprehensive about the situation and protested, acknowledging that Teach may have become too much for the boy to handle with his new powers. Despite this, Ace demanded that he go after Teach, saying that Thatch could not rest in peace if his murderer were not brought to justice, and that Teach could not get away with dishonoring his "father". Admiring Ace's dedication to both his captain and his duty, Whitebeard allowed his "son" to go, later claiming that it was he who told Ace to leave for the sake of Ace's honor. With this, Ace began his journey to find Blackbeard and finish him off.[34]

    Advertisement Arabasta Saga Drum Island Arc Ace visited Drum Island and met two villagers and asked them about Luffy. He introduced himself and told his intention before leaving a wanted poster of Luffy and a message for Luffy to meet him in 10 days in the city of Nanohana, the Arabasta Kingdom.[1]

    Arabasta Arc Ace was sleeping in the Spice Bean restaurant. The other patrons thought that he had dropped dead from eating a Desert Strawberry. As Ace finished his meal, he was spotted by Smoker, who attempted to arrest him.[2] However, shortly before he and Smoker began to fight, both men were sent flying into the wall behind them by Luffy's sudden entrance.

    After picking himself up, Ace spotted Luffy eating, only to be knocked down by Smoker, who then attempted to arrest Luffy. After Luffy dashed out of the restaurant with Smoker in hot pursuit, Ace caught up with Luffy in time to save him from being arrested. His interference allowed Luffy to escape while he dealt with Smoker himself.

    After throwing the Marines off his trail, Ace caught up with Luffy on the Going Merry to offer him a chance to join Whitebeard, which Luffy refused.[41]

    Ace left Luffy a piece of a Vivre Card, which will allow the two to meet up again. As Ace sailed away, five Baroque Works ships confronted him, but he destroyed all of them with a fire punch.[42]

    Ace's Great Blackbeard Search After parting ways with Buggy's crew, Ace (amid his continuing search for Blackbeard) came to Lulusia Kingdom and enquired about Blackbeard. He later attacked a doctor who resembled Blackbeard and got kicked to the river. He was saved by a milk maiden for whom he infiltrated a Marine Base to hand-deliver a letter to her parents.[44] Despite being eventually exposed during his undercover stint, Ace successfully delivered the milk maiden's letter to Vice Admiral Comil(along with saving a marine from a burning ship), which indirectly led the parents of said milk maiden (cooks on the Marine grocery ship) to reunite with their daughter.[45] Meanwhile, Ace sailed off satisfied, as he in fact gained information on Blackbeard from a Marine scout ship, now being ready to find and take on the traitorous pirate.[46][47]

    Ace finally found and confronted Blackbeard and his crew on Banaro Island. He and Blackbeard exchanged a few words before Blackbeard offered him the chance to join his crew and help him become Pirate King. However, when Blackbeard revealed that he was intending to go to Water 7 and capture Luffy, Ace got angrier as he refused, revealing his relationship with Luffy. Van Augur then shot at him, but Ace had the bullets pass through him before retaliating with fire bullets. Jesus Burgess threw part of a hotel at him, but Ace demolished it with a pillar of fire before attacking the two of them and Blackbeard with Hiken. Blackbeard admitted that he had killed Thatch, revealing that he had done it to claim the Yami Yami no Mi.[48]

    Ace watched as Blackbeard became darkness and pulled the entire town into a black hole before releasing it as wreckage, but he immediately unleashed several small fiery explosions that injured Blackbeard due to his fruit amplifying damage rather than bypassing it. However, Blackbeard used his darkness to pull Ace toward him and nullify his Devil Fruit powers, allowing Blackbeard to punch Ace. Ace was pulled in again by Blackbeard's darkness but managed to hit Blackbeard with an attack before Blackbeard broke his neck. As the two continued to clash, Blackbeard began to physically overwhelm Ace and once again offered him the chance to join his crew. Ace refused again and brought out a massive fireball as he engaged in a massive final clash with Blackbeard's darkness.[49]

    Ace was ultimately defeated, and Blackbeard handed him over to the World Government. He was sentenced to public execution at Marineford and, while awaiting execution, was incarcerated in Level 6 of Impel Down.[50][51][52] According to Burgess, after learning that he was to be executed, Ace requested that his brother not be told.[53]

    When Garp visited Ace in prison,[54] Ace expressed his desire to be killed now, but Garp replied that there was no stopping the oncoming war between the Marines and Whitebeard.[55] The two talked about Garp's wish for Ace and Luffy to become Marines, with Ace reflecting on his and Luffy's bloodlines, though mentioning his hatred for his father and how he considers Whitebeard his true father.[56]

    Sometime later, Ace watched as Jinbe, who was in the cell with him, was beaten by the prison guards for defiance, and heard Jinbe's wishes to end the upcoming fighting.[57] Jinbe told Ace how Whitebeard protected his homeland of Fish-Man Island from pirates, but the two heard Crocodile and many other Level 6 prisoners hoping for Whitebeard's death.[58] Boa Hancock later visited Ace and discreetly informed him that Luffy was in Impel Down trying to save him, much to Ace's dismay.[59] When Luffy fought against the warden Magellan, Ace suspecting Hancock's words to be true, asked the guards what was going on, but got no answer.[60] Many hours later, Jinbe told Ace that Hancock might have been lying, but Ace bitterly replied that this was the kind of thing his brother would do.[61]

    Sometime during his imprisonment, Ace told Jinbe that he had seen Luffy for the first time in three years and was relieved to see that Luffy had found a crew of great friends to protect him.[62] Ace also asked Jinbe to look after Luffy if he died, though Jinbe warned that he did not easily help other pirates.[63]

    Magellan then came down to transport Ace to Marineford for his execution,[64] and they had gone up to Level 1 when Ace overheard a report of Luffy being subdued with sleeping gas in Level 6. He cried out and tried moving back to the lift, forcing Magellan to subdue him.[65] He was put on a Marine fleet in the custody of Vice Admiral Onigumo, who encouraged him to look up at the sky one last time before he was put on the execution platform as the fleet approached the Gates of Justice to Marineford.[66] After reaching Marineford, Ace remembered his childhood with Luffy as he was brought up a large set of stairs to the execution platform.[67]

    Ace was put on his knees at the execution platform while the Marines awaited the arrival of Whitebeard. To start the anticipated event, Sengoku asked Ace who his father was. Ace maintained that it was Whitebeard, but Sengoku then revealed Ace's real father to the world and explained how Rouge had kept Ace safe through her pregnancy.[11] Sengoku then explained how Whitebeard had protected Ace for the latter to become Pirate King, despite Ace's denial, but Sengoku said that Ace's bloodline necessitated his death.

    The Whitebeard Pirates then arrived, and Ace called out to Whitebeard.[68] He asked his crew why they had come, since it was his fault, he went after Blackbeard and got captured. However, Whitebeard claimed that he had ordered Ace to go after Blackbeard.[69] Ace watched as his crewmates rushed into battle, but when Little Oars Jr. came onto the scene, Ace told the giant to stop because he was too big of a target. He cried out when Oars Jr. was severely injured by Bartholomew Kuma, and watched in dread as the giant pressed on despite receiving injuries in quick succession but ultimately fell short of reaching the execution platform.[35]

    As the battle continued, Ace watched as Garp refused to enter the fray, with the Vice Admiral expressing bitterness over the path his adoptive grandson chose in life. Ace then spotted a battleship containing Luffy and other prisoners of Impel Down falling out of the sky.[70] Ace and Luffy called out to each other when they saw the other,[71] and as Luffy raced from the Moby Dick to the execution platform, Ace told him not to interfere, trying to alienate himself from Luffy to keep him safe. However, Luffy responded that he did not care and would rescue his brother no matter what.[72] Ace was then calm as he stated that he would accept whatever ended up happening to him, out of respect for his crew's efforts.[73]

    Ace watched in shock as Whitebeard was betrayed and stabbed by Squard, and was still taken aback as Whitebeard handled the injury and joined the battle himself.[74] Whitebeard unleashed a shockwave at the execution platform, but it was blocked by the three Admirals' Haki, and Ace later watched as the Marines' attempts to raise a giant wall between him and his crew was sabotaged by Oars Jr.'s body.[75] With the wall still mostly trapping the Whitebeard Pirates, the Marines prepared to execute Ace ahead of schedule, but Ace watched as Oars Jr. regained consciousness and attempted to rescue him again while Luffy was sent over the wall by a water blast.[76] The executioners began to move their swords to execute Ace, but they were taken out by Crocodile's sand blasts. Ace then watched in shock as Oars Jr. pushed the Whitebeard Pirates' remaining ship through the wall to let the crew return to the plaza, though at a further cost to the giant.[77]

    With the battle resuming, Marco attempted to rescue Ace, but was punched away by Garp.[78] Ace then put his head down and started weeping as he saw all the pirates in front of him being dedicated to saving his life, which many others had considered worthless, and he watched as Luffy unleashed a great cry after receiving a dose of hormones from Emporio Ivankov. Although Whitebeard showed weakness from his age and was punished by the Admirals,[14] Ace watched as his captain continued to press on. The executioners, having returned, raised their blades to try to execute Ace again, but they were suddenly knocked out by Luffy unleashing Supreme King Haki.[79]

    Ace sat stunned by Luffy's Haki before he watched as Inazuma created a ramp for Luffy to run to the execution platform,[80] and although Garp confronted Luffy, the Vice Admiral was taken out in one punch as Luffy reached Ace. Sengoku then prepared to attack Luffy with his Devil Fruit power as Kizaru destroyed the key to Ace's handcuffs, but after regaining consciousness, the nearby Galdino was ordered to protect Ace with a wax barrier while Luffy absorbed Sengoku's punch. The force of the punch caused the execution platform to fall, and the Marines fired cannonballs at Ace and Luffy, but after Galdino made a wax key to unlock Ace's handcuffs, Ace was freed and used his Devil Fruit powers to shield himself and Luffy from the explosion.[81]

    After landing on the ground, Ace and Luffy quickly went to work fighting off the Marines in tandem. When Aokiji stepped in, Ace met the Admiral's ice powers with his fire. However, the brothers were taken aback as Whitebeard proclaimed to his crew that he would stay behind on Marineford while they escaped.[82] Ace initially did not move after this proclamation, and Whitebeard asked him if he had been a good father, which Ace resolutely affirmed. Ace and Luffy then ran off with Jinbe, but Admiral Akainu stepped in, saying that Whitebeard was a failure and that his crew were scum and cowards. Angered at Akainu's statements about Whitebeard, Ace went back and attacked him, but was overwhelmed due to Akainu's magma fruit being superior to his own fire. Akainu then ambushed an unsuspecting Luffy, and Ace stepped in front of the Admiral, whose magma fist went through his torso and burned up his insides.[83]

    Ace passes on. Ace passes on.

    With Ace still alive in the immediate aftermath, Akainu prepared to attack him again, but was intercepted by Jinbe. The dying Ace fell into Luffy's arms, and he recollected how he had first been given a place with Luffy, Sabo, and Dadan as he remembered a childhood otherwise filled with torment and persecution. He only regretted that he would not be able to see Luffy's dream come to pass, and he then called out to his crew, thanking them for loving him despite his bloodline and faults. After this, he fell to the ground and passed away with a smile on his face.[84]

    Ace's death left many heartbroken, but none more so than Luffy, who fell into a catatonic state which left him unable to respond to the world around him. Akainu prepared to kill Luffy as well but was blocked by Marco while Jinbe carried Luffy to safety. Marco then yelled to the other Whitebeard Pirates to protect Luffy at all costs so that Ace's sacrifice would not be in vain, giving them the energy to keep on fighting. Whitebeard himself was especially outraged by Ace's demise and proceeded to deal a heavy blow on Akainu, which also devastated Marineford. However, Whitebeard would also meet his own demise at the hands of Blackbeard and his crew, who also stole his Devil Fruit ability. Before dying, Whitebeard predicted that even though Ace's life and bloodline have both been snuffed out, someone would eventually appear to inherit his will.

    Later, when the Red Hair Pirates appeared, Shanks managed to organize a ceasefire and asked that the bodies of both Ace and Whitebeard be handed over to the pirates so that they could depart from the location peacefully, a request which Fleet Admiral Sengoku agreed to.

    Ace, along with Whitebeard, was buried on an island near the latter's home island somewhere in the New World. His trademark hat, necklace, and knife were made into a grave marker, which was placed beside Whitebeard's and covered with flowers and swords left behind by his crewmates, with the members themselves standing on either side of the island, paying their last respects. Before departing with his crew, Shanks thought of how surprised he was by Ace's final actions and likened it to something his late captain, Roger would have done.[85]

    Legacy Although already famous in life, the events of the war and the fact that he was the son of the Pirate King has given Ace almost legendary recognition, like his father before him. Luffy, who awoke from his coma in complete and utter despair over his brother's death, had nearly given up his dream entirely as well as living if it were not for Jinbe reminding him of his crewmates, who are depending on him to return to them. Ace's death also proved to be the final debacle for Luffy's resolve to become stronger before heading into the New World, next to his crew's defeat and separation at the hands of Bartholomew Kuma.

    Similarly to Luffy, Sabo was distraught over his inability to protect Ace from death. Sabo initially lost his memories many years prior due to being attacked by Saint Jalmack, but then recovered them upon learning of his brother's demise, which put him into a coma for three days. Since then, Sabo gained an immense protective-streak towards Luffy, vowing to come to his aid whenever and wherever he needed him - even going so far as to disregard his duties in the Revolutionary Army if he felt Luffy was in danger.

    Two years after his death, Ace's will continued to live on when his Devil Fruit powers were inherited by his adopted brother Sabo. Two years after his death, Ace's will continued to live on when his Devil Fruit powers were inherited by his adopted brother Sabo.

    After Ace's death, his Devil Fruit, the Mera Mera no Mi, was reborn into the world and somehow acquired by the Donquixote Pirates, who then offered it as a prize at the Corrida Colosseum as a means of distracting Luffy from his and Trafalgar Law's plot to take them down (though they had no real intention to give it away). Due to Ace's fame, this also ended up attracting many powerful competetors from around the world. The ploy worked at first, however, Sabo arrived and took Luffy's place in the finals so that he could continue his mission and that Ace's power would be obtained by someone he trusted. Sabo ultimately won the tournament and ate the fruit, thus inheriting Ace's will along with his signature technique, the "Hiken".

    At Wano, Tama continued to await patiently for Ace's return since the news of his death didn't reach her country, until Luffy eventually arrived and told her, causing her to pass out. Though angry about this at first, Tama came to respect Luffy as she did Ace, vowing to continue her training to become a kunoich and join Luffy's crew as she wished to join Ace's. Meanwhile, Yamato, who was already aware of Ace's death due to seeing his vivre card burn away, also desired to honor Ace's memory by assisting Luffy in defeating Kaidou.Portgas D.

    "Ace" redirects here. For Roger's sword which went by the same name, see Ace (Sword). Portgas D. Ace,[11] born as Gol D. Ace[6] and nicknamed "Fire Fist" Ace,[5] was the captain of the Spade Pirates[3] before being recruited into the Whitebeard Pirates and becoming its 2nd division commander.[2] The biological son of the late Pirate King Gol D. Roger and Portgas D. Rouge,[12] Ace was put in the care of Monkey D. Garp and Curly Dadan after Roger's death, which is where he became the sworn brother of Monkey D. Luffy[7] and Sabo.[13] Due to Roger's absence from his life, Ace disowned his father and took his mother's surname, ultimately declaring that his captain Whitebeard was his true father.[14]

    Ace's pursuit of his former subordinate Blackbeard for the murder of their crewmate Thatch led to him being captured after their duel on Banaro Island, and he was turned in to the Marines, who held a public execution for him on Marineford due to his heritage; this triggered the Summit War of Marineford. While freed from bondage, Ace would ultimately die at the hands of Admiral Akainu while protecting Luffy.[15]

    Ace's death proved the final catalyst following the Straw Hats' defeat at Sabaody that would make Luffy put his crew's journey on hiatus so they could all train for the next two years and return powerful enough to survive the New World on their own, paving the way for the second half of the series. His reincarnated Devil Fruit would eventually be consumed by his sworn brother, Sabo, ensuring that his will would live on.

    Ace first appeared at the end of the Drum Island Arc, but was only formally introduced in the Arabasta Arc, where he acts as a brief ally of the Straw Hat Pirates. He is a central figure during the Summit War Saga. He is also the protagonist of Ace's Great Blackbeard Search cover arc.

Ace and why?toggle section What was Ace's role in the Whitebeard Pirates?toggle section How does Portgas D. Ace meet his end in the series?toggle section Appearance Ace was a tall, muscular young man with jaw-length curly black hair. Although they were not blood related, Ace looked remarkably like his foster brother, Luffy. However, Ace was more serious-looking than Luffy's lighthearted design and was also taller and more muscular. He also sported rather childish freckles (inherited from his mother) and tended to make a skeptical facial expression by raising his left eyebrow. Interestingly, his facial features were almost akin to his biological father, Gol D. Roger, in his youth without his mustache.

    Ace's tattoos were among his most remarkable trademark features. He had a tattoo on his back of the Whitebeard symbol—purple bones formed in a cross behind a purple skull with a white mustache—that he described as his pride and joy.[16] Ace had another tattoo on his upper left bicep that spells "ASCE" vertically. The "S" crossed out is a tribute to Sabo, as that's his jolly roger.[17] On the cover of Chapter 596 indeed, Ace's tattoo is written as "ACE" instead of the original "ASCE" as the cover is a "what if" image of Ace, Luffy, and Sabo together as adults, with the former being known to be alive.

    Ace wore an open-front shirt until he received Whitebeard's tattoo - afterwards, he stopped wearing anything over his upper body except when on winter or desert islands due to the weather requirements. He wore black boots, black knee-length shorts with an eyelet-studded orange belt, and a blue pouch belted around his left leg. He also wore a short second belt with a large red "A" on the silver buckle over his right hip but left it unfastened and threaded the free end along the back of his shorts. A dagger in a green sheath hung at his left hip. On Ace's left arm, he wore a Log Pose and a red and white striped bracelet around his wrist, an orange elbow guard, and his "ASCE" tattoo. He wore a red beaded necklace and an orange hat with two blue smileys, one frowning and one smiling, and a string of red beads sitting above the rim. Two long orange side straps hung down the sides of his hat and met at a large medallion of a bull's skull with orange tassels.

    Unfortunately, Ace lost his trademark hat, which he already had when he began his journey as a pirate, on Banaro Island as a result of his duel with Blackbeard. His knife and log pose were also apparently confiscated, as he no longer had them in his next appearance as a prisoner at Impel Down. The tattoo upon his back that he took so much pride in was later destroyed by the same blow that eventually led to his death. However, at his grave, Ace's hat and knife were placed at his tombstone—either they were retrieved, or they were duplicates in Ace's possession.[18]

    During the ending credits in the second movie, Clockwork Island Adventure, previews of upcoming characters from the Baroque Works Saga were featured. Ace was also included amongst the many characters, but while his clothes were almost identical, he boasted a very different color scheme to the one he was given in his official appearance in the anime.

    As a child, Ace is shown to have often worn t-shirts with two-kanji phrases on the front (such as "innocence" and "violence"). On some occasions they are linked to the scene in which they were worn, like "independence" when the three brothers built their own tree house to live in. He often wore knee-length shorts and a black elbow guard on his left arm. Ace was always seen wearing dark brown, flat, slipper-like shoes, and in the winter, he wore a green cardigan over his normal clothes.

    Upon leaving Dawn Island at the age of 17, he wore an outfit identical to the one he wore when he first met Whitebeard; however, he was less muscular than he eventually grew to be and had rounder, more childlike facial features.

Personality Ace was much more intelligent, polite, and generally more bearable than Luffy, which prompted the Straw Hat Pirates to question whether he was truly related to their captain. While several people who knew Gol D. Roger noted Luffy is quite similar to the late Pirate King, Whitebeard himself claimed that Ace's personality was not at all like his father's. It seems that among the very few things the brothers shared was their recklessness as pirates (and their near-bottomless stomachs). In addition, Ace liked to party as much as his brother does. When he boarded Buggy's ship, he was drawn by the smell of food and decided to enjoy himself while he was there. Ace could be a bit inappropriate, though, as he once used a woman's skirt to wipe his face while he was dining at Spice Bean in Arabasta.

    There were two running gags about Ace. The first was his rather extreme narcolepsy. He tended to randomly fall asleep while eating and conversing, leaving strangers around him wondering if he had died. This was first seen in Arabasta when they thought he died in the middle of eating. The second was that he did a "dine and dash" routine wherever he went. This went back to his younger days with Sabo and Luffy, when they would often dine and dash in the city of Goa, and carried over to adulthood, as shown on three occasions when he was on Drum Island, Arabasta, and Lulusia Kingdom.

    Ace was also shown to be quite impulsive, much like his younger brother, as he too would make hasty decisions and, in some cases, neglect listening to reason. This was shown shortly prior to setting out to hunt Blackbeard for killing Thatch. Whitebeard insisted that Ace should not go after him, yet Ace, despite his immense loyalty and respect for his captain, ignored his warnings and went off to find his former subordinate. Another, albeit more humorous, example was in his mini-story, where during his hunt for Blackbeard, he mistook a man named Dr. Blackbeard for his target, due to coincidentally having a similar name and appearance to Teach. Rather than check to see if he found the man he was looking for, Ace jumped to conclusions too soon and attacked the doctor on sight. It was by then that Ace realized too late that he had the wrong man, which got him into a lot of trouble with the villagers.

    His "politeness" is due to Makino's teaching after Ace asked her how to introduce himself to Shanks (being his brother's savior).[20] Before that, Ace was rather cold and rude to anyone he was not familiar with.[21]

    As the son of Roger, he lived in his shadow and is to date the first D. depicted to truly question his own right to exist, while displaying the fewest commonly seen D.-related traits. Ace seemed to have lifelong problems dealing with his parentage, even after denouncing Gol D. Roger and accepting Whitebeard as his only father. This was in direct contrast to Luffy, who accepted his father's identity immediately upon learning it and did not seem to care when he was told how dangerous of a man he was. However, Luffy did not grow up with knowledge of the identity (or even the existence) of his father. Ace believed that it would be natural if he were to really die, as nobody in the world wanted the son of the devil (Roger) to live. This caused him to be surprised and shocked that Whitebeard would easily accept him in his crew despite him being the son of Whitebeard's rival and that the entire Whitebeard Pirates' crew and allies and Luffy would risk their lives in order to save him. Ace commented upon his own death that he had never sought fame or fortune - all he had wanted was the answer to his lifelong question of whether or not he should have been born, as this was the only thing preventing him from dying with no regrets, as he and Luffy had vowed to do so, and the fact he had a younger brother to look out for. Ace's only regret was that he would not live to see Luffy achieve his dream, which he believed Luffy undoubtedly would accomplish, as he was his little brother.

    Benn Beckman of the Red Hair Pirates described Ace's personality as being naiver than his appearance would suggest. He compared Ace's characteristics to be more aligned with the Revolutionary Army's, considering his personal vendetta against the world denying his existence. Ace is described as more of a fighter than a pirate, making Beckman think Ace is unfit to be captain of a fleet.[22]

    Ace had a tendency to never back down from a fight, saying that he would never run once facing an enemy. Also, like his father and brother, Ace was confident and fearless when confronting his opponents, even when they were extremely powerful people such as Whitebeard or admirals like Aokiji or Akainu, though like Luffy, he could also underestimate his opponents. When Blackbeard demonstrated the power of the Yami Yami no Mi, Ace was unfazed, not viewing it as a threat to himself, and only showed shock and fear when Teach used his power to grab him and cancel his Devil Fruit powers. He also tried to kill Whitebeard at least a hundred times despite the massive difference in strength between them and each of his attempts failing miserably. Because of this, some people believed that Ace had a death wish, but in truth, he wanted to prevent the people he cared for from getting hurt. Dadan stated that he inherited this tendency from his father despite loathing him. While Ace emerged victorious over enemies he refused to run from, such as Porchemy and Bluejam, his stubbornness hurt him on a number of occasions, particularly when he refused to back down against Blackbeard or Admiral Akainu.

    Ace was also easily provoked and became violent towards anyone who insulted or harmed people close to him. In one of Garp's conversations with Curly Dadan, this was revealed to be a trait of Roger as well. During his childhood, Ace had a tendency to severely injure anyone who insulted Roger, though he himself disliked his biological father. After hearing about Sabo's presumed death at the hands of a World Noble, Ace quickly became bent on killing the Noble, and Dadan had to pin Ace down and tie him to a tree to stop him.

    Ace's temper got the better of him, especially in cases when Whitebeard, proclaimed by Ace to be his only father, was insulted. Believing that this was the case when Blackbeard broke the iron rule of the Whitebeard Pirates and fled after murdering a crewmate, Ace pursued his traitorous subordinate despite his crewmates' efforts and even Whitebeard's orders to stop him. Ace later came to see that his stubbornness had gotten him into the ordeal of being scheduled for execution. Even though he managed to escape death on the scaffold thanks to the pirates' and Luffy's efforts at Marineford and was well on his way to freedom, Admiral Akainu got to him by insulting Whitebeard. Ace quickly turned back to face him, ignoring his crewmates' warnings to not become angered over Akainu's provocations. Unwilling to let him get away with speaking ill of Whitebeard, Ace attacked him out of fury only to have his arm burned by Akainu's Devil Fruit powers. Akainu then took the opportunity to attack Luffy on the sideline, leading Ace to jump in, sacrificing his life to shield Luffy from the attack. While saying his last words, Ace sadly admitted to Luffy that he (Ace) wasted away all of his efforts to rescue him.

    Although Ace follows the creed of loyalty towards those close to him, such as taking the excessive effort to rescue Luffy from Bluejam or hunting down Teach to avenge Thatch, he was not above using underhanded methods to win a fight at times. Noted examples included trying to stab Whitebeard in his sleep or chopping him down with an axe from behind.

    Alongside his loyalty, Ace does not judge people by their appearance and race but by their character, as he took in both Ganryu (a Longarm) and Wallace (a Fish-Man) into his crew while society had shunned both of them.

    Ace was very generous toward those that had very little to eat and willing to share his own food with them. On Sixis, he kindly offered the first fruit he found to a starving Masked Deuce, despite being hungry himself, an act that made Masked Deuce feel ashamed since he was planning on killing Ace for the food. When the Spade Pirates arrived in Wano Country and the starving locals tied them up and took their food, Ace kindly asked them if they wanted dessert. When he learned the terrible living conditions were caused by Kaidou, Ace wanted to kill the Emperor so the people wouldn't go hungry again.

    Ace initially intended to take Whitebeard's head but was defeated. Whitebeard invited him to be one of his sons, which Ace vehemently refused; despite this, Whitebeard abducted the entire Spade Pirates onto his crew.

    After trying to assassinate Whitebeard many times, Ace was eventually drawn in by Marco's description of the love the Whitebeard Pirates bore for their father. He decided to give up on his struggles and take up Whitebeard's symbol on his back; this tattoo became his greatest pride and joy.[24]

    Ace held great respect for his captain. As far as Ace was concerned, Whitebeard was the greatest pirate alive, and even went so far as to describe Whitebeard as a type of father figure.

    Ace was a loyal crewman and commanded the 2nd division of the Whitebeard Pirates. It is revealed that Thatch was one of the first of Whitebeard's crew to interact with him and they appear to have been good friends. Ace and Marco also seemed to have a close friendship due to Marco explaining the bond between Whitebeard and his crew. Marshall D. Teach, who later became Blackbeard, once served as a member of the 2nd division under Ace and they are shown eating together in flashback with Blackbeard encouraging Ace to become 2nd commander. The Whitebeard Pirates were revealed to be very fond of Ace and unhesitatingly vowed to rescue him from his execution, as seen when they shouted out that they would not forgive anyone who hurt him.

    Whitebeard seemed unconcerned about Ace's hunt for Blackbeard and remained grounded that it was Ace's duty to execute the traitor, regardless of the heavy warnings he received from Shanks. It was revealed however that Whitebeard himself was troubled about Ace hunting Blackbeard and gave him no such orders, but Ace stubbornly set out anyways to hunt down his traitorous former subordinate. Even so, Whitebeard took responsibility for Ace's decision and claimed that it was under his orders that Ace went after Blackbeard.

    Whitebeard immediately mobilized his crew and his subordinate crews after hearing about Ace's imminent execution. The Whitebeard Pirates reached Marineford, along with many allied powerful pirate crews, and were at war with the Marines and World Government.

    Advertisement Spade Pirates Ace was extremely loyal to the Spade Pirates, the crew that he formed himself. When he knew that they stood no chance against Whitebeard, he formed a firewall to allow them to escape, leaving himself behind to hold Whitebeard back alone. The Spade Pirates also share this loyalty and looked up to their captain fondly as Ace gave each of them a place on his ship regardless of their races or appearances. When Ace was fighting Isuka, his crew members rushed in to help, even though they were unable to hit her.[25] Despite their earlier thrashing at the hands of Whitebeard, they challenged the Whitebeard Pirates in the hopes of retrieving their captain but were soundly beaten and abducted along with him.[24]

    In the novel about Ace, Ace seemed to share a particular bond with Masked Deuce, who he met while stranded on an island with no apparent means of escape. The two initially started on cold terms when Deuce continued to turn down Ace's approaches to be friends, which was further strained when he learned that Ace was the son of the Pirate King. However, he later came to accept Ace and helped form the Spade Pirates together with him, and remarked that he, like the other crew members, viewed Ace like the sun.[22]

    When Ace was recruiting his crew members, he recognized Skull's experience and knowledge of pirates, finding value in his subordinate's pirate fascination. Ace also supported Mihar's passion for helping children. When Ace found Kotatsu injured from a poacher's trap, he saved the lynx. Because of this, Kotatsu's cowardly personality became courageous. He also loved to sit next to Ace, as his captain's Devil Fruit abilities kept him warm.[26]

    The Spade Pirates, who are now a part of Whitebeard's crew, mourned his death.

    Ace and his brother, Luffy, were very close as children and remained so as pirates, even after more than three years of separation. Though they were not related by blood, they were still bound by a brotherly bond. Luffy was also aware that Ace was Gol D. Roger's son. As a child, Ace was initially aloof and hostile towards Luffy. Such an example was when Luffy innocently followed Ace onto an old rope bridge, and Ace (being greatly annoyed by his presence) knocked Luffy off the bridge and into the ravine. After learning how lonely Luffy was, Ace warmed up to him but got annoyed whenever Luffy cried. Ace later grew very protective of him, particularly from Garp, even insulting their grandfather in an attempt to stop his abusive behavior towards Luffy. This protective streak continued into the current storyline. Ace first intervened to protect Luffy from Smoker in Nanohana. Later, when he discovered that Blackbeard meant to kill Luffy and hand him over to the World Government, Ace immediately warned him that he would not let him lay a finger on his little brother. Despite their closeness, Luffy often made Ace angry and frequently worried him by doing reckless things.[27] It was because of this that Ace did not doubt Boa Hancock when she informed him that Luffy had infiltrated Impel Down to rescue him. Another instance would be when Ace was being transported to Marineford. He was, however, constantly worrying about Luffy's welfare, repeatedly saying his name and thinking about him.

    Though frequently worried by Luffy's extravagant recklessness, inwardly Ace seemed quite proud of his brother's past exploits; in the anime, he was shown grinning slightly as he listened to Garp, visiting him in prison, discussing Luffy's ruckus-raising on Enies Lobby and Sabaody.[28] Apparently, Ace had been known to frequently share stories about Luffy with the other ranks of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Warlord of the Sea, Jinbe. He was quite overjoyed when he learned that Luffy had gained his first bounty and wasted no time showing the wanted poster to Whitebeard himself. After Luffy's unceremonious entrance into the fray at Marineford, Marco had no trouble identifying him as the brother Ace was always talking about, even prior to Luffy loudly declaring it for all to hear.[29] Even when he made a new friend in Yamato, he apparently frequently boasted to him about Luffy, to the point where they got tired of it.[30]

    Ace tended to portray typical good-big-brother behavior, such as asking the Straw Hat crew to keep an eye on his little brother. He also ensured Luffy had a way of meeting up with him by giving him a Vivre Card. They respected each other's choices despite their differences and understood that the other was strong enough to look after himself. Luffy believed that if he grew worried about Ace and rushed to his aid, Ace's ego would not allow it, so he initially left him alone even after discovering that Ace was hurt via the Vivre Card. However, when he learned that Ace had been captured and was due for execution and saw that Ace's Vivre Card had burnt down to a tenth of its original size, Luffy decided to take a side trip and save Ace instead of sailing directly from Amazon Lily to the Sabaody Archipelago to reunite with his crew.

    Ace's protectiveness of his brother was seen again when both the Whitebeard Pirates and Luffy had invaded Marineford in order to save him and he told Luffy to turn back. Luffy refused and pressed on while proclaiming he would save him. Ace was later surprised at Luffy's ability to use Supreme King Haki and realized his brother had a potential that he was not aware of. After Luffy freed him, the two fought by each other's side, and Ace did not even hesitate to throw his life away to save Luffy as he leaped in the way to shield his brother from Akainu as the admiral struck. Ace's only regret was that he would not live to see Luffy achieve his dream, which he believed Luffy undoubtedly would. Ace passed on smiling, while Luffy collapsed into mindless grief over his beloved brother's death. In fact, one of the reasons why the Whitebeard Pirates would defend Luffy is because he is Ace's beloved brother.

    Advertisement Sabo Sabo was Ace's good friend and brother from ten years ago. They had planned to become pirates by saving money to buy a pirate ship, a joint attempt that began five years before Luffy followed Ace to the Gray Terminal and to Sabo. Sabo was one of the two people Ace considered a brother along with Luffy. They performed an informal sakazuki ceremony together to seal their bond as brothers. When Sabo sacrificed his happiness to save Ace's and Luffy's lives from his father's wrath, Ace decided to forget Sabo for the moment, thinking that if Sabo were happy, then he and Luffy should be proud. However, after Sabo was presumably killed at the hands of Saint Jalmack, Ace regretted his previous decision, flew into a rage, and attempted to kill the noble in revenge, but was stopped by Dadan, and later wept at the apparent loss of his brother, despite earlier claiming to Luffy that men should not cry. Before dying, Ace mentioned Sabo as one of the reasons that ever made him want to live in the first place.

    Ace had a tattoo on his upper left bicep that spells "ASCE" vertically. The "S" crossed out is a tribute to Sabo as that was his jolly roger.

    Tragically enough, Sabo survived this event but because he had amnesia, he could not reveal himself to Ace or Luffy. Ace died without ever knowing that Sabo was alive the entire time.

    Shortly after Ace's death, Sabo regained his memories and later visited his grave before he went on to inherit his brother's power to carry on his memory.[31][32]

    Portgas D. Rouge Rouge was Ace's mother, who carried him in her womb for 20 months in order to protect the innocent child from the clutches of the World Government.[12] Ace was born one year and three months after Roger's death, therefore Rouge was five months pregnant when she resorted to some unknown method (assumed by Marines to be sheer willpower) to postpone birth. Just before passing away, Rouge gave him the name Gol D. Ace.[6] However, Ace, grateful to his mother for her sacrifice, chose to take her name instead.[33]

    It has been revealed that Ace's father was the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, contrary to the previous belief that his father was Monkey D. Dragon.[12]

    Before Ace was born, Roger requested Garp to watch over him on his behalf. However, Ace felt that he did not owe him anything, which is why he preferred the name of his mother, who died protecting him. The reason for this was because Roger had a reputation as a "devil" among the general population, which led them to hate, despise and curse the possibility of the existence of a son of Roger, causing Ace to hate his father for bringing him into a world that wanted him dead for the simple fact of existing. Although Ace resented his father, he brutally beat up anyone who spoke ill of him.

    To this date, Ace was the one of the few pirates shown to speak ill of Gol D. Roger, along with Squard, though many unnamed pirates on Level 6 of Impel Down were known to have grudges against the late Pirate King.

    Advertisement Monkey D. Dragon Prior to Sengoku making it public to the world, Ace knew that Dragon is Luffy's father. Other than that, it is unknown what Ace thought about him and vice-versa. During a talk with Garp, Ace brought up the fact that both he and Luffy share the blood of infamous criminals.

    It is also unknown if Dragon knew that Ace was the son of Roger (before this fact was made known to the world by Sengoku) or if he was aware of his father adopting Ace, though Dragon's closer subordinate Bartholomew Kuma did at least know that Ace was Luffy's older brother by adoption.[34]

    Vice Admiral Garp adopted Ace as a favor to Roger to give Ace a life free of the prejudice of being born from a family of pirates.

    Though he did come to see Garp as family, he did not approve of his violent behavior towards Luffy. At one point he warned him to stop abusing Luffy going as so far to call him an "old piece of crap". Garp, who had promised to make fine Marines out of the two brothers,[35] was furious when he discovered that Ace had gone ahead to become a pirate instead.[24]

    Though respectful of his "grandfather", Ace announced that he and Luffy would never have become Marines even if they wanted to. He disagreed with Garp and remains grounded on the idea that becoming Marines would not have been possible since both of their fathers were world class criminals. Garp, in return, showed extreme sadness about Ace's execution, and cried about Ace's choice in a life of piracy and declared Ace as family. Garp was also willing to kill Admiral Akainu for killing Ace. When Ace was dying, he thanked Garp for loving him and the latter broke down when his grandson finally died.

    Curly Dadan Curly Dadan, a mountain bandit who was blackmailed by Garp, became the foster mother for Ace and Luffy. Whenever Ace would nearly kill villagers for insulting his heritage, Dadan would get angry at the boy for his actions, to which Ace would snidely remark that he regrets that his victims did not die. Dadan also shows weariness at dealing with Ace, and gives the impression that she would refuse if not for Garp holding her gang's crimes over her head. However, when the Nobles of Goa burned the Grey Terminal, Dadan led her bandits into the inferno to find Ace, Luffy and Sabo and when Ace refused to back down from confronting Bluejam, Dadan had the bandits take Luffy to safety while she stayed behind to stand beside Ace. The two really care for each other as Dadan saved Ace from being burned and Ace was willing to steal medicine from town in order to treat Dadan's wounds. When Ace set out to become a pirate, she was sulking when she heard Ace's message that he was grateful to her. Ace seemed to like Dadan, and prior to his death, asked Luffy to tell her goodbye on his behalf and that he misses her. Although Dadan outwardly viewed and treated Ace as a nuisance that she wanted gone, she actually loved and cared about him a lot. When she discovered Ace's death, she buried her sorrows in drinks and furiously attacked Garp when he returned for not doing anything to save Ace, accusing him of having chosen work above family.

    The Emperor Shanks, was on relatively good terms with Ace, who seemed to greatly respect him primarily for his role in saving his adoptive younger brother, Luffy, from the Lord of the Coast during the incident with Higuma. After setting out to begin his life of piracy, Ace immediately sought out Shanks to meet the man in person and thank him on Luffy's behalf. Shanks was initially hostile until he learned Ace's reasons, and the two even celebrated their meeting. Shanks showed some concern for Ace upon learning that he was in pursuit of Blackbeard. He personally sought out Whitebeard to vocally disapprove and attempted to persuade Whitebeard to recall Ace. After the announcement of Ace's execution, it was revealed that Shanks personally intercepted Kaidou, another of the Four Emperors, as the latter attempted to take advantage of the crisis and attack Whitebeard. It is unknown if Shanks ever discovered that Ace was the son of his late captain Gol D. Roger (before this fact was made public by Sengoku).

    Buggy and Alvida Alliance Ace convinces to join his 's party. Ace convinces Buggy to join his crew's party.

    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, being Ace, 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 enjoyed the rest of his momentary stay.

    Buggy himself seems to like Ace as after meeting Luffy on Level One, he mentions that Ace, unlike Luffy, happened to be a very swell guy and 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. Like so many at the time, Buggy was shocked to see Ace fall to Admiral Akainu.

    Jinbe Ace and Jinbe were once enemies, as Ace wanted to kill Whitebeard, whom Jinbe regarded as a hero for protecting Fish-Man Island. The two dueled for five days until they both collapsed from exhaustion. Despite this scuffle, the two eventually became friends who deeply respected each other. During their time in Impel Down, they were cellmates and Ace asked Jinbe to take care of Luffy after he died, a wish that Jinbe at first refused despite their friendship as Jinbe did not feel like protecting anyone whom he considered to be a stranger. This changed when he developed respect for Luffy and when Ace truly did die.[36] Jinbe was more than willing to forfeit his status as Warlord to battle for Ace's freedom and shed tears for Ace's demise.

    Advertisement Straw Hat Pirates Ace was on good terms with Luffy's crew after they met in Arabasta. The crew took a liking to Ace and questioned if he and Luffy were related given the former's politeness. Before parting ways, Ace entrusted them to look after Luffy.

    At Thriller Bark, Franky was excited to see Ace himself. When Ace's Vivre Card in Luffy's possession began to burn, Nami was concerned about Ace's well-being.

    After the battle at Marineford during the Straw Hats' separation, they were gravely alarmed upon learning of his death. This led to them being deeply concerned about Luffy's well-being given how close they were, and he died in front of him before he suffered a mental breakdown.

    Tama Roughly a year during his pirating journey, Ace arrived to the Kuri region in Wano Country, where he encountered a young girl named Tama. They shared a strong bond that inspired Tama to become a Kunoichi. After Ace promised to return to visit her, Tama waited for him despite the terrible living conditions caused by the Beasts Pirates. When Luffy informed her of Ace's death, Tama was deeply upset and refused to believe him.[37] She was later surprised to learn that Luffy was his younger brother.

    Yamato Yamato sharing drinks with Ace. Yamato sharing drinks with Ace.

    Ace had met Yamato roughly four years before the current storyline. While the two initially clashed, they quickly got along and drank together.[38] During this time Ace told Yamato about his younger brother Luffy and before they parted ways gifted him a Vivre card.[39] Yamato greatly respects Ace, as he fondly stated that Luffy reminds him of the former and that while he could not leave Onigashima with Ace, he would set sail on Luffy's ship due to them being brothers. Yamato revealed to Luffy he had originally wanted to sail out of Wano with Ace, but his father's handcuffs kept him prisoner on Onigashima.[40]

    Enemies Isuka In the novel, Ace and Isuka's relationship was similar to Luffy and Smoker's relationship, except on more amicable terms. She attacked Ace and his crew, viewing it as her duty to enforce justice. When she almost drowned, Ace threw her a life preserver, causing her to change her view about him. She attacked his crew several times since then, but Ace easily dealt with her with no grudges. Isuka then decided to try to get Ace to give up piracy, seeing him as a good person. After Ace stopped Draw's assault, Ace offered her a spot in his crew but she declined and parted ways with him on good terms.[26]

    Advertisement Marshall D. Teach Ace's main enemy was Marshall D. Teach, also known as "Blackbeard". Prior to his betrayal, Ace and Teach were on good terms, with the latter encouraging him to be commander after he declines the position.

    Ace & Teach before the betrayal Ace & Teach before the betrayal

    Once Teach betrayed Whitebeard, Ace personally chose to hunt down for killing Thatch. However, as Shanks stated, Ace was strong and young, but the fact that he was appointed as Whitebeard's Second Division commander worried Shanks due to "that trust and reputation" getting in the way. Shanks concluded that Ace was not ready to face Blackbeard, which was confirmed later when Ace confronted him and his crew. At first, Blackbeard wanted him to join and hunt down Luffy, but Ace declined his offer and the two fought against each other. In the end, Ace was defeated and turned in to the Marines, thus granting Blackbeard the status of Warlord.

    Smoker Ace meets Smoker in the . Ace meets Smoker in the Spice Bean.

    They met in Arabasta when Smoker was hunting for Luffy but found Ace instead. He tried to arrest the Whitebeard Commander though both were conveniently sent flying by Luffy. Smoker soon ignored Ace and went after Luffy, something that caused Ace to intervene on his brother's behalf.

    Smoker questioned Ace's reason before he was informed, they were brothers. Ace also fought evenly with Smoker for a few moments, who even Luffy has yet to beat. The elements of their Logia Devil Fruits canceled each other out, and neither of them were able to gain the upper hand even though Ace was just trying to gain some time for the Straw Hats to get away.

    World Government The World Government, after discovering that Ace was the son of Gol D. Roger, desired to execute him but was unable to touch him due to Ace joining Whitebeard's crew. When Blackbeard defeated and turned him in, they seized the chance and made Ace's execution their highest priority. It appeared that Ace shared a similar fate with Nico Robin and Luffy - his sole existence was a sin to the World Government, being the child of the "world's greatest evil".

    Akainu Admiral Akainu earned Ace's scorn for badmouthing Whitebeard as Ace and Luffy were making their retreat, provoking Ace to turn back and let his chance to escape Marineford slip away. He attacked Akainu in fury over the insult but discovered that his fire was inferior to that of Akainu's magma. Akainu was able to burn Ace and eventually kill him.

    Advertisement Abilities and Powers “ But you had to be stopped. In time your abilities would eventually allow you to lead a new generation of pirates on a reign of terror! For this reason, your execution today is necessary! Even if it means all-out war with Whitebeard! ” — Sengoku on Ace's potential and why his execution had to carry out.[41]

    As commander of the 2nd division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Ace had authority over the lower-ranking subordinates. In addition, as one of the top commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates, he was one of the strongest and most highly regarded pirates on board under Whitebeard himself.

    At one point, while being captain of the Spade Pirates, he was even asked to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea but refused.[42] Even as a rookie, Ace was powerful enough to defeat Hanafuda, a Warlord, resulting in him losing his position and likely contributing to Ace's prior invitation.[43] Ace was strong enough to be acknowledged by the Emperors Shanks and Blackbeard, with the former saying he had earned his spot as Whitebeard's 2nd division commander and the latter wishing Ace had joined his crew and emphasizing how his own formidable crew was nowhere near strong enough to combat Ace at the time, speaking volumes about Ace's strength.[44][45] In One Piece episode A, during the 100th duel between Ace and Whitebeard, Jinbe remarked on how much stronger Ace had become since their own duel.[46]

    Luffy commented on how he never defeated Ace in a single fight, despite Luffy already having the power of the Gomu Gomu no Mi (Ace did not consume the Mera Mera no Mi until after he left: Luffy was surprised by Ace's new power when Ace stopped Smoker from capturing him in Nanohana). Ace was trained by Garp, who had hoped to turn him into a fine Marine, and possibly Dadan, the two of whom were responsible for training Luffy to the level of power he held before becoming a pirate.

    Ace also held a fearsome reputation. When he was 10 years old, Ace had already made a name for himself in Gray Terminal, being known by the Bluejam Pirates.[47] It was revealed that Ace received an invitation to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea while he was still captain of the Spade Pirates, though he refused the offer, which had subsequently raised his bounty over Beli100,000,000 and attracted even more attention to him across the New World.[42][22] He had defeated Doma, a notorious New World pirate, and his pirate crew all on his own, which is what got him recommended for his current post as the Whitebeard Pirates' 2nd division commander.[48] Due to Ace's prestige and heritage, the World Government not only granted Blackbeard the position of Warlord for successfully defeating and capturing Ace[49] but also imprisoned Ace in Level 6 of Impel Down, a secret level reserved for the world's most dangerous and brutal criminals.[50] His overall reputation and abilities had earned him a bounty of Beli550,000,000 prior to his capture and death.

    According to Sengoku, Ace had especially immense potential, described that it was Ace's rapid rise in power and fame that made the World Government realize he was son of the late Pirate King, Gol D. Roger. He went on to say that in time, Ace could potentially become the next Pirate King if he continued on, which was the most important reason why the World Government was willing to start a war with Whitebeard.[51] Chinjao himself said that Ace showed the most potential among the new generation pirates, and that his death was a good thing for the Marines.[52] Before his death, Yamato believed Ace was the one Oden foretold would defeat Kaidou someday.[53]

    He was also a capable navigator, as he was seen wearing a Log Pose on his left wrist, while traveling from island to island in search of Luffy and Blackbeard on a simple raft. This also shows he was a skilled tracker.

    Ace's willpower was strong enough to withstand Shanks' outburst of Supreme King Haki.

    Advertisement Physical Abilities Ace's immense strength as a child. Ace's immense strength as a child.

    Aside from the powers granted by the Devil Fruit he consumed, Ace possessed immense physical strength and endurance which he attained from the extremely rigorous training in the harsh environment of Mt. Colubo that consisted of him hunting and fighting wild beasts since childhood and traveling in precarious trap-filled locations. His incredible physical prowess was supplemented by his extraordinary fighting skills. Even in his early childhood, he was able to beat some local thugs who spoke ill of his father "half to death" and during his first meeting with Luffy, he was also shown sitting on top of a huge bull he killed with his staff. As a child, he could also easily break a giant tree with a single kick. In his childhood, before he acquired the Mera Mera no Mi, Ace was able to beat Luffy in every single sparring match, despite Luffy's untrained Gomu Gomu no Mi abilities.

    Ace demonstrated his strength during his battle with Blackbeard: he was able to take Blackbeard's punches, which were so powerful that the first made Ace cough up blood and the second nearly broke his neck and retaliate quickly afterwards. Van Augur noted that, as expected of the Whitebeard Pirates' 2nd division commander, Ace's basic combat skills were quite formidable even without his Devil Fruit powers.

    He had shown to fight equally with both Yamato and Jinbe in the past, both being situations where his adversaries used Haki (and in addition in Jinbe's case, Fish-Man Karate) to nullify Ace's Logia powers. Ace and Jinbe in particular had nearly killed each other in a fight that lasted for five days straight. Ace then survived a battle with Whitebeard that took place immediately after, showing immense stamina and durability. As a testament to his stamina and endurance, he was one of the few people to be able to take a "baptizing" in boiling water in Impel Down without flinching, which is considered an impressive feat.[54]

    Devil Fruit Further information: Mera Mera no Mi Ace utilizing the power of the Mera Mera no Mi. Ace utilizing the power of the Mera Mera no Mi.

    Ace ate the Mera Mera no Mi, a Logia-type Devil Fruit that allowed him to create, control, and transform his body into fire. He could create and unleash massive amounts of fire for large-scale damage, as well as utilize small precision attacks. Later, after his death, it was revealed that Ace's burning fists also had the power to annihilate entire cities.[55]

    Ace primarily used his flames for a wide variety of offenses. He could shoot fire bullets and spears, release powerful fire cannons, unleash massive waves of fire, and create fireballs, both a single large one for large-scale destruction and multiple small ones that could explode. His signature attack was transforming his fist into fire and sending it forward as it greatly increased in size, earning him the name "Fire Fist Ace."[56]

    His flames could also be used defensively; he could create a massive wall of flames to block his opponents, and the heat of his flames could deter his opponents from attacking him for fear of getting burned. He was also able to stop powerful ice attacks from Aokiji, a Marine Admiral.

    Ace also had practical uses for his Devil Fruit powers; he would heat up any fish he would find in the seas for his crew when they had no food to eat, and he was able to traverse the seas in a one-man boat that was specifically designed for him and propelled with flames from his feet.

    Advertisement Haki Main article: Haki Ace was one of the very few people in the world who could use all three types of Haki. Despite this, he rarely used them in combat, being more reliant on his Devil Fruit abilities. While Ace has never shown usage of Armament Haki or Observation Haki within the manga, the novels have stated that Ace's Haki had been described by Shanks and Benn Beckman to be fiery in nature, to the point that Ace’s very presence was able to stop blizzards on an island for as long as he was there.[22] As such, when he turned up on Drum Island, no snow fell at all on the island for an entire day.[1]

    Supreme King Haki Ace unleashes Supreme King Haki for the first time. Ace unleashes Supreme King Haki for the first time.

    Ace possessed Supreme King Haki, which he initially had no conscious control over. He first demonstrated the ability at 10 years of age when he rendered the Bluejam Pirates except for Bluejam unconscious after an outburst of rage.[57] He later gained knowledge of the power, as he recognized it when Luffy used it at the Summit War of Marineford.

    He was never seen using this Haki apart from in his childhood, save for in video games (such as during the activation of his Kizuna Rush in Pirate Warriors 3) and One Piece episode A.[58]

    Armament Haki Ace was capable of using Armament Haki. Upon awakening it, he was capable of fighting on equal grounds with Vice Admiral Draw's Armament Haki.[59] However, it is not known how proficient he became in using it since then.

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

    In One Piece episode A, it was suggested he was skilled at it, to the point he leaned on it too much and was negligent in training the other forms of his Haki.[60]

    Observation Haki In One Piece episode A, Ace was taught how to use Observation Haki by Thatch and used it in his duels against Whitebeard.[60]

    Concludes non-canon section.

    Advertisement Weapons Ace carries around a knife but is never seen using it. However, in flashbacks of attempts to assassinate Whitebeard, Ace was shown using various weapons, including an axe and a knife. As a child, he used a long bo staff made from pipe as a weapon.

    In One Piece: Burning Blood, Ace wields two twin double-barreled firearms (which resemble a cross between a pistol and a sawed-off shotgun) while wearing his Strong World costume which he uses as part of his Twin Guns & Cross Fire special attack.

    Entry settings

    The Whitebeard Pirates from One Piece are defined by fierce loyalty, an intense paternal bond led by Edward Newgate (Whitebeard), and a few distinct personality quirks and running gags rather than purely chaotic comedy.Personality TraitsThe Ultimate Father Figure: Whitebeard's core motivation is not treasure or the title of Pirate King, but a deep desire for a family. He calls every crew member his "son".Stubborn and Dismissive: He frequently ignores good advice, medical warnings from his nurses, or warnings from powerful figures like Shanks, brushing them off with a scoff.Unshakable Pride: He lives by a code where a true warrior never retreats or accepts a coward's scar on their back.Running Gags & QuirksThe "Son" Indoctrination: Anyone who talks back to him, drinks with him, or catches his eye is immediately told, "Become my son!" whether they want to or not.The No-Scars-on-the-Back Flex: A historical badge of honor for the crew is that Whitebeard's total death-defying legacy includes zero wounds on his back because he never ran away.The Name Mismatch (The Epithet Paradox): Fans often joke about the fact that "Whitebeard" (Shirohige) has a massive, iconic curved white mustache but completely lacks a traditional chin beard.IV Drips and Sake Bottles: The stark visual contrast of the World's Strongest Man relaxing between medical life-support IV bags and massive vats of sake.

    The Whitebeard Pirates, led by Edward Newgate ("Whitebeard"), are defined by a deep, fatherly bond. Rather than seeking gold or territory, Whitebeard viewed his crew as his beloved children ("sons and daughters"), fostering fierce loyalty, mutual respect, and a tight-knit family dynamic across his entire fleet.Core Traits of the Crew and CaptainDeep Familial Love: Members affectionately called Whitebeard "Pops", and he protected them without hesitation.Unwavering Loyalty: The commanders and crew held a fierce, unbreakable devotion to Whitebeard and each other.Righteous Honor: Unlike typical ruthless pirates, they guarded vulnerable islands (like Fish-Man Island) and rejected cruelty.Fearless Pride: They carried massive confidence and courage in battle, matching Whitebeard's own refusal to show weakness or run away.Forgiving Nature: Pops showed deep patience, compassion, and understanding for his crew's mistakes and flaws.

    The Whitebeard Pirates were the pirate crew of the late Edward Newgate (better known as "Whitebeard"), renowned as the strongest of the Four Emperors and the only pirate captain to have ever matched the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, in battle.[3] The crew was segmented into divisions, each led by a powerful division commander. The crew also had multiple subordinate crews operating in the New World, allowing the pirate crew to function as a massive pirate fleet. In addition, they controlled several territories throughout the New World, including Fish-Man Island.

    Two years before the current storyline, the Whitebeard Pirates and many of their subordinate crews engaged Marine Headquarters in the legendary Summit War of Marineford over the fate of the crew's second division commander, Portgas D. Ace. Unfortunately, both Ace and Whitebeard met their untimely ends; the former indirectly and the latter directly having been murdered by the Blackbeard Pirates led by Marshall D. Teach aka "Blackbeard", who had betrayed the crew earlier on. Following this, the Whitebeard Pirates lost much of their power and influence in the New World, and many of their former territories were conquered by Blackbeard. A year later, the remaining members of the crew, led by first division commander Marco "the Phoenix", engaged the Blackbeard Pirates' full forces in the Payback War, which ended with their brutal defeat, thus leading to them disbanding and Blackbeard becoming Whitebeard's replacement within the Four Emperors.

    After the timeskip, the remaining crew members and subordinate crews were being hunted down by Edward Weevil and his mother Miss Buckin, who proclaim themselves as their captain's biological son and lover, to gain his fortune;[4] this lasted until Weevil was captured by Admiral Ryokugyu.[5] Around the same time, Marco and Izou supported the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance in their raid against a then-Emperor crew, which succeeded, resulting in one of the alliance leaders becoming one of the Four Emperors.

This symbol is not used on the flags, but many members have it either tattooed on their bodies (such as Marco on his chest, Curiel on his chin, and Atmos on his shoulders) or clothing (Blamenco has it on his tricorn, Jiru on his fez, and Rakuyo on his headband); the significance this symbol makes is as of yet unknown.

The rest were named in the SBS of Volume 58.[7] Outside of Ace (2nd division), who was Luffy's brother and thus naturally received a lot of exposure, three of the commanders, Marco (1st), Jozu (3rd), and Vista (5th), have been given far more reverence and focus than the others. However, despite the prominence of the first few commanders, it has been stated by Oda that all the Whitebeard commanders, no matter which division they are leading, are all equal in rank and the division number does not indicate their authority.[8] Each division has specific duties for its members.[9]

    Teach was offered the position of second division commander, but he refused, due to not wanting to make himself known to the world yet. After Thatch's murder, his position was left unreplaced at the time of the Marineford War.

    Whitebeard was one of the Four Emperors of the second half of the Grand Line, along with Shanks, Kaidou, and Big Mom, which made the Whitebeard Pirates one of the four strongest pirate crews in the world.[11] There were 16 division commanders and Whitebeard himself in his crew, each division commander commanding 100 men. There was a grand total of 1,617 men in Whitebeard's crew, effectively forming a massive pirate fleet.[12]

    Since their captain had managed to fight with Gol D. Roger one-on-one, the Whitebeard Pirates were considered amongst the strongest pirates known in the world of One Piece. More impressive is that the Whitebeard Pirates were able to hold their own against the Roger Pirates within their first decade of activity. Even the normally overconfident Buggy refused to attack Ace when he was asleep, fearing Whitebeard's wrath, as he witnessed Whitebeard's might firsthand while apprenticing under the Roger Pirates.

    Due to their fearsome reputation, the World Government was prepared to use practically the entire Marine force and the Seven Warlords of the Sea to fight the crew after they announced Ace's execution. Even the 23 Marine ships that were supposed to be watching over the Moby Dick (Whitebeard's ship) were instantly wiped out as it started to move.[13] Also, the fact that the capture of Portgas D. Ace, a member of Whitebeard's crew, was considered such an amazing feat that it earned a place as a Warlord of the Sea for Marshall D. Teach (though Ace's capture meant a lot more than just being Whitebeard's subordinate, as he was also the late Pirate King Gol D. Roger's son).

    According to Blackbeard, a general rule on-board Whitebeard's ship is that any crewmate who happens to find a Devil Fruit is free to consume it (which is why he killed Thatch in order to obtain the Yami Yami no Mi). A few of the Whitebeard Pirates already possess Devil Fruit powers, such as Marco, Ace, Jozu, and Blamenco. Just the same, some of the commanders who did not seem to have any Devil Fruit powers were still capable of fighting on par with individual Warlords of the Sea (Vista, Curiel).

    Many of them seem to possess one or more forms of Haki, a technique their captain had mastered in all three forms. The fact that their names are well known by the Warlords of the Sea and admirals also gives an indication of their strength. As a matter of fact, even a Supernova-class pirate such as Luffy was considered to be "all talk" by Whitebeard (although this was prior to him releasing his Supreme King Haki). Sengoku stated that, with his Devil Fruit, Whitebeard would have been able to destroy the world. Another example of their strength is that the majority of the commanders were unharmed by the war.

    However, even taking their impressive displays of power into account, the Whitebeard Pirates are not, by any means, invulnerable and have suffered enormous losses: Prior to the Whitebeard War, 4th division commander Thatch was murdered by Marshall D. Teach, who desired the Devil Fruit that Thatch found, known as the Yami Yami no Mi. During the Summit War of Marineford, several of their flagships (including the Moby Dick) were destroyed either by cannon fire or in separate attacks from Akainu, numerous unnamed crew members lost their lives amidst the fierce fighting against the Marines, and several of the commanders were severely crippled in their attempt to save Ace. In the final stages of the battle, Admiral Akainu successfully executed 2nd division commander Portgas D. Ace, and soon afterwards, a grievously injured Whitebeard was ambushed by the collective Blackbeard Pirates and perished as a result before the remaining members of the crew were helped in escaping by the arrival of the Red Hair Pirates.

    Even with their losses, the Whitebeard Pirates were still considered to be one of the strongest crews, with the Five Elders believing that they, along with the remaining Emperor crews, were among the few that may be able to stop the Blackbeard Pirates. Despite this belief, however, when the Whitebeard Pirates engaged Blackbeard and his crew in a battle to avenge the murder of their captain and fellow commanders, they were completely overwhelmed and brutally defeated. Thus, they lost most of their former territory to the Blackbeard Pirates after Teach claimed Whitebeard's position, while Charlotte Linlin claimed Fish-Man Island as her territory. The crew's current strength and whereabouts are unknown. The crew is also currently being hunted by Warlord of the Sea Edward Weevil and his mother Buckin, who are seeking to claim Whitebeard's fortune.

    Aside from their own 1617-member crew, the Whitebeard Pirates have many subordinate crews from the New World. Each one of the pirate captains was an infamous pirate who had made a name for him or herself in the New World. There seemed to be at least 43 crews under Whitebeard's protection. Whitebeard treated all of his longtime subordinate crews just like his own crew: as though they were his own children. They all seemed to know Ace, at least, and were willing to help Whitebeard's cause when Ace was about to be executed at Marineford. However, they were not aware that Ace was Roger's son until around the time Ace died.

    Whitebeard's subordinates charge into battle. Whitebeard's subordinates charge into battle.

    Through Akainu, Sengoku managed to deceive Squard, an otherwise loyal subordinate captain, into stabbing Whitebeard with a lie that Whitebeard made a deal with the Marines in which his subordinate crews would be the only ones targeted by the Pacifista; this lie also spread amongst the other subordinate crews, leading to some doubt in their trust of Whitebeard. The plan, despite having successfully weakened Whitebeard, also backfired somewhat, as it gave Whitebeard the opportunity to prove to his subsidiaries who the real enemy was and spur the pirates onwards in their quest to rescue Ace.

    An unknown number of these subsidiary crews were hit in the aftermath of Akainu's attack during the war. Others had also been taken down since the fighting began, including one of their most powerful subordinate captains: the giant, Oars Jr. After the war, the surviving subordinate captains and their crews accompanied the remaining Whitebeard Pirates in their burial of Ace and Whitebeard at an unknown New World island. Their current whereabouts and goals are unknown, though Edward Weevil is said to have taken out 16 of the subordinate crews, including A O. leaving, at most, 27 subordinate crews still active.[4]

    An apparent trait of Whitebeard's subordinate crews is the usage of costumes that follow a theme. Also, the majority of them, similar to the Warlords of the Sea and CP9 agents, are animal-themed. Some of the subordinate captains are revealed to have been members of the main crew in the past.[14]

    Allies Jinbe of the Seven Warlords of the Sea greatly respected Whitebeard for protecting Fish-Man Island and maintained a friendship with Ace, to the point that he was willing to lay his life down for either of them, even if it meant compromising his role with the World Government.

    After Luffy saved Ace from his execution, Whitebeard came to value Luffy as an important ally after seeing his true potential and was willing to go as far as to put his faith in Luffy. After Ace and Whitebeard's deaths, the remaining Whitebeard Pirates put their lives on the line to prevent Akainu from killing Luffy; they even said that Ace's family was also their family as well.

    Alongside Luffy were many Impel Down convicts who escaped from prison, including Emporio Ivankov, a Revolutionary Army commander, and Buggy, a former member of the Roger Pirates. All of these convicts were powerful people, and a majority of them fought against Whitebeard's opposition, which made them valuable assets to Whitebeard's cause. Whitebeard also proposed an alliance with Buggy, as he recognized the threat his new crew poses, though he saw Buggy himself as nothing threatening.

    Advertisement History Past The Whitebeard Pirates 30 years ago. The Whitebeard Pirates 30 years ago.

    38 years ago, Whitebeard left the Rocks Pirates after the death of his captain and then, at least 33 years ago, started recruiting.[15] Three years later, the Whitebeard Pirates were shipwrecked at the Kuri region of Wano Country after climbing the waterfall and losing their supplies. Before they could figure out their next course of action, Kouzuki Oden rushed to the scene and briefly clashed with Newgate, introducing himself and demanding to set sail with them.[14]

    Afterwards, Whitebeard and his crew had a feast with Oden and his retainers. Oden kept asking to join only to be turned down. Two weeks later, the Whitebeard Pirates tried to leave Oden behind, but he caught up to them and held onto a chain he attached to the ship. Izou also held onto Oden and got dragged away with him. After pulling Izou up onto the ship, Whitebeard gave Oden a test. If he could hold onto the chain for three days, he would be allowed into the crew. Just when Oden only had ten minutes left, he heard a woman in trouble and let go, drifting to an island. On the next day, Whitebeard found Oden and a woman named Toki confronted by Karma and his crew. Whitebeard defeated Karma and finally allowed Oden to join his crew. Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, who had stowed away on Whitebeard's ship, joined the crew as well.[16]

    Two years after Oden joined, Whitebeard decided to divide his crew at that time into five divisions and appointed Oden as commander of the second division. Sometime later, he traveled to a port and met Marshall D. Teach and granted his request to join the Whitebeard Pirates.[17]

    Around 26 years ago, the Whitebeard Pirates clashed with the Roger Pirates for three days and three nights before the skirmish ultimately became a gift exchange. Afterwards, the Whitebeard Pirates parted ways with Oden and his family as well as Inuarashi and Nekomamushi.[18] Prior to Roger's execution, Whitebeard adopted Squard into his crew after the latter's own crew had been killed by Roger.[19] 22 years ago, former Rocks Pirate Shiki made contact with the Whitebeard Pirates, intent on striking a deal to combine their forces following Roger's death, though he was refused by Whitebeard.[20] Roughly two years later, the Whitebeard Pirates conquered part of the New World, taking many islands under their protection, including Fish-Man Island.[21]

    Considering that and their captain's immense strength and infamy, the World Government labeled Whitebeard an Emperor. During that period, the crew also gained many powerful allies. Five years ago, Whitebeard read about Portgas D. Ace's increasing fame as the captain of the Spade Pirates and how Ace refused the offer of a Warlord of the Sea position. Right after the five-day fight between Ace and Jinbe, Whitebeard approached the Spade Pirates aboard the Moby Dick and told his own crew that he would deal with Ace alone.[22]

    Whitebeard defeated both Ace and his crew and, aware of Ace's talent, drafted him into his crew, eventually allowing him to become commander of his Second Division.[23] Several years after he was killed, the Whitebeard Pirates heard about Oden's death at Kaidou's hand. Despite this, the Whitebeard Pirates did not invade Wano Country to take revenge, knowing that there would be many civilian casualties if they did so.[24] At another point, Whitebeard and his crew read news that Bartholomew Kuma was elected as the new Warlord of the Sea after Ace defeated a previous one six months prior.[25]

    Advertisement East Blue Saga When Ace's younger brother Luffy earned his first bounty after defeating Arlong, Ace showed both Whitebeard and Jinbe his brother's wanted poster.[26] But then sometime after that, Teach, now apart of Ace's division, murdered the Fourth Division commander Thatch in order to acquire Yami Yami no Mi. Ace decided to hunt down Blackbeard by himself, even though Whitebeard did not want him to go because he felt uneasy about the situation.[27]

    Arabasta Saga Drum Island Arc Ace decided to see how his brother Luffy was doing. On Drum Island he met two villagers and asked them about Luffy, introducing himself and mentioning his intention before leaving a wanted poster of Luffy and a message for Luffy to meet him in 10 days in the city of Nanohana, Arabasta.[1]

    Arabasta Arc After a brief scuffle with Smoker, Ace handed Luffy a Vivre Card— before destroying a fleet of Baroque Works ships, with the card later being sewn to the inside of Luffy's hat's ribbon—so Luffy could later keep track of Ace's location and well-being.

    Sky Island Saga Jaya Arc Whitebeard rejected a letter from "Red-Haired" Shanks, stating that if Shanks wished to speak with him he should do it in person. The World Government feared what would happen if their two crews were to meet due to the possibility of them joining forces, but chose to just observe their actions.[28]

    Water 7 Saga Post-Enies Lobby Arc Shanks eventually arrived and after unwittingly knocking out dozens of the Whitebeard Pirates with Supreme King Haki, went to talk with Whitebeard about Ace and Teach after. Whitebeard talked about the past with Shanks' though when asked to stop Ace because he did not feel he was ready to face Blackbeard, Whitebeard laughed off the request, saying that he was 100 years too young to tell him what to do before telling him that Teach must be taught dealt. Claiming he had nothing to fear, Whitebeard clashed with Shanks, causing the heavens above to split.[29]

    Advertisement Summit War Saga Marineford Arc After Ace chased down the traitor Marshall D. Teach and was defeated, he was sentenced to death at Marineford. As Ace's execution closed in, the entire Whitebeard Pirates, along with their 43 subordinate crews, came to Marineford and waged war against the 100,000 Marines and the five Warlords of the Sea that were present. Partway in, the prisoners of Impel Down arrived to give additional assistance, including people such as Ace's brother, Monkey D. Luffy.

    The Moby Dick's demise. The Moby Dick's demise.

    As the war waged on, the encircling walls were raised, and in the following moments, the Moby Dick was sunk by Admiral Akainu's Meteor Volcano, and another of Whitebeard's ships was sunk by Akainu's Great Eruption. Many crew members were killed or injured, and several of the commanders were severely incapacitated, including Marco being pierced repeatedly by Admiral Kizaru's lasers, Jozu being frozen solid by Admiral Aokiji, and Curiel being burned and defeated by Admiral Akainu. Whitebeard himself had been severely injured by a deceived Squard before he even jumped into battle, where he was then further wounded by Akainu and several Vice Admirals and Marine officers. He eventually entrusted the rescue mission to Luffy, ordering his subordinates to lend their strength to him, which led to Ace's freedom from the scaffold. However, the victory was short-lived, as their first notable casualty in the war was confirmed with the death of Portgas D. Ace by Akainu's hand. A near-dead and isolated Whitebeard was then killed by the collective Blackbeard Pirates. The rest of the Whitebeard Pirates then prepared to fight against Akainu, who was pursuing a heartbroken Luffy. Upon the Red Hair Pirates' arrival, Shanks ceased the war, stating that the Marines had completed their objective, and any more fighting would have resulted in needless bloodshed. Ace and Whitebeard's bodies were taken by their friends for a proper burial, while their own hearts were grieving at their losses.

    Post-War Arc Ace's and Newgate's graves. Ace's and Newgate's graves.

    With the help of Shanks's crew, the Whitebeard Pirates buried their two deceased superiors and comrades on Whitebeard's homeland in the New World; Whitebeard and Ace's graves towered over the place, and there were swords and flowers all around the tombs as a tribute. Ace's grave has his signature hat, knife, and beads (the first two retrieved somehow despite him losing them in his battle with Blackbeard), while Whitebeard's is marked with his bisento with his coat hanging from it and his flag tied to the top. The rest of the crew stood on either side of the island en masse, paying their last respects as Shanks left.

    Right after the war, many of Whitebeard's territories were also annexed by other pirates. Foodvalten was conquered by the Brownbeard Pirates until Basil Hawkins defeated the latter.

    As Blackbeard made his move through the New World with his thorough knowledge of Whitebeard's territories, the Five Elders remarked that the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates, notably Marco the Phoenix, are one of the forces capable of stopping him.[30]

    When one year was passed after Whitebeard and Ace's deaths, a war had broken out between the Blackbeard and Whitebeard Pirates. It was called the "Payback War", in which both sides brought their full forces and it ended with the Whitebeard Pirates losing considerably. After the war is when Blackbeard started being acknowledged as one of the Four Emperors.[31]

    Legacy Two years after the Summit War of Marineford have passed, Sabo left a newspaper of the Straw Hat Pirates' return at Ace's and Newgate's graves. After usurping Whitebeard's status as an Emperor, Blackbeard conquered most of Whitebeard's territories. However, Fish-Man Island is now under the protection of the Big Mom Pirates.

    During the raid on Onigashima, two of the former commanders, Marco and Izou, went to Wano Country in order to assist the Straw Hat Pirates against Kaidou.[32][33] Although they were successful with helping the battle and avenging Oden, Izou was killed.[34]

    Anime and Manga Differences Whitebeard Pirates Original Jolly Roger The original Jolly Roger Revised Whitebeard Pirates Jolly Roger The changed Jolly Roger In the manga, the crew's Jolly Roger was originally a mustached skull mounted on a manji, as seen in the Arabasta Arc, the Jaya Arc, and Ace's Great Blackbeard Search. This symbol, an ancient religious mark that continues to be popular across Asia as a sign of divinity and peace, was infamously appropriated into Nazi Germany's Hakenkreuz emblem, inextricably linking it to white supremacy and hate speech and causing many nations to legally limit or forbid its depiction (though it should be noted that the conventional Japanese manji is bent in a counterclockwise 卍, as opposed to the Hakenkreuz's clockwise 卐).

    To avoid controversy, the anime redesigned the Jolly Roger into the currently-known crossbones version from its very first appearance.[35] While this was followed by all known tie-ins, the manga continued to use the manji design up until the Post-Enies Lobby Arc in 2006, when Shueisha directly ordered Eiichiro Oda to replace it with the crossbones design.[36] Afterwards, Shueisha retroactively edited the crossbones design into all releases—physical and digital—of the Whitebeard Pirates' earlier appearances as well.

    Edward Newgate,[12] more commonly known as "Whitebeard", was a legendary pirate and the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates. Widely known as the "Strongest Man in the World", he was considered the "Man Closest to One Piece" after Gol D. Roger's death.[7]

    Growing up as an orphan on the island of Sphinx, Newgate went on to become a pirate, eventually joining the legendary Rocks Pirates. Sometime after the Rocks Pirates' disbanding, he went on to form his own crew, taking on the nickname "Whitebeard" and eventually becoming one of the Four Emperors that rule over the New World.[4][5] He shared a friendly rivalry with Roger, to whom he lent one of his crewmates, Kouzuki Oden, so that Oden could help Roger discover the final island of the Grand Line, a goal that Whitebeard had no interest in. Following Roger's death, Whitebeard became recognized as the strongest man in the world, a fact complimented by having the highest active bounty whilst alive, and the second highest bounty of any pirate in history.

    Later in life, Whitebeard unknowingly took Roger's son, Portgas D. Ace, under his wing. After Ace was arrested by the Marines during a doomed attempt to hunt down the traitorous crew member Marshall D. Teach, Ace was to be executed by the Marines as a display to end the Great Pirate Era. Whitebeard, his crew and his allies all laid siege to Marineford to rescue Ace, resulting in the Summit War of Marineford which concluded with the deaths of both Ace and Whitebeard at the hands of Akainu and Teach, respectively. In his final moments, Whitebeard announced to the world that the One Piece did in fact exist, inspiring a new wave of pirates and effectively beginning the New Age.[13]

    Whitebeard was an ally of Monkey D. Luffy and a central figure overall during the Marineford Arc.

    Advertisement Appearance Newgate was an abnormally large man, with a height of 666 cm. (21'10"), and a prominent crescent-shaped mustache, which would spawn his epithet, "Whitebeard". Unlike other large-sized humans, however, he was well-proportioned. He had a long face, ploughed because of his advanced age, with many wrinkles around his eyes, and many scars running along his chest, and was very muscular.[1] The muscles on his biceps seemed to grow bigger whenever he used his quake-based powers.[14][15][16] Like all of his men, he had his own Jolly Roger tattooed on his back.[17] In the manga, his eyes are brown,[18] but in the anime, his eye color is seen to be yellow.[1]

    He wore a black bandana around his head and adorned himself with a white captain's coat, which hung loosely from his broad shoulders and bore his Jolly Roger symbol. He was always seen bare-chested, and wore light, loose pants tucked inside his large black boots, and a dark pirate sash around his waist. While not in battle, Whitebeard was typically on oxygen and attached to several medical sensor machines, due to health issues as a result of his age.[1]

    In the manga, after Akainu melted part of his head, Whitebeard lost his left eye along with the left side of his mustache.[19] In the anime, however, this was altered so that only the left side of his mustache was lost.[20] Additionally, Whitebeard sustained a massive hole in his torso in both versions,[21] while the anime added a second, even larger hole in his stomach inflicted by Akainu.[22] However, for the entire 72 years that he lived, he had never once received a wound on his back because he never ran away from his battles.[17]

    As a child, he wore a light-colored sleeveless shirt with the word "Power" (力, Chikara?) written on it. He also wore shorts and a white bandana. He had bandaged scrapes and cuts from his fights.[23]

    In his younger days, Newgate wore an open dark gray vest and a black bandana, worn over the long, blond flowing hair he had back then, and his trademark mustache was nonexistent.[24]

    When he was a member of the Rocks Pirates at age 26, he grew his prominent mustache, which to the shape as it is today, wore a black overcoat with a baldric to carry his naginata, and had no bandana.[25] By age 36, he wore a black and red striped bandanna under a white pirate hat with his jolly roger, a black shirt under his signature white coat, and yellow sash. [26]

    When he was 52, he wore a white and yellow pirate hat with his jolly roger on it over a black bandana with black and red, both worn over his former hair.[27]

Personality Edward Newgate was a cheerful and carefree person during his younger years, prior to commanding his own ship and becoming known as Whitebeard. Due to being an orphan who grew up in poverty, Newgate had a strong desire for a family, which he saw as the greatest treasure one could have. Despite his peers considering this to be strange and humorous, Newgate was never ashamed of this wish.[24]

    His reign on the sea, reputation, and foreboding power made him seemingly overconfident and fearless.[28] In initial appearances, he seemed unable to see any cause for alarm on any decision he made and refused all advice given to him, such as his nurse telling him not to drink heavily[29] or Shanks warning him of Blackbeard.[30] However, he was much more thoughtful than he initially appeared to be. Actions that initially seemed to be the result of thoughtless or headstrong bravado actually had strong reasons backing them. For instance, his loud declaration that Fish-Man Island belonged to him freed the island from all invading pirates and slavery,[31] and his insistence that Blackbeard be punished was merely a cover for Ace, who had set out after him against Whitebeard's wishes.[32]

    “ I am only one man with one heart...Call me a demon, call me a monster...but I can't be the strongest forever...!!! ” — Whitebeard's response to his status as the "Strongest Man in the World".[33]

    Though he may seem to have an overgrown ego, Whitebeard knew deep down that he was nothing but a single man and was fully aware of his own mortality.[33] He knew that the youths of the next generation were the keys to the future and that their lives were far more important than his own. Because of this, he was not afraid to sacrifice himself for the safety of those he considered his children.[34] Like Gol D. Roger, Whitebeard believed that a child should not be responsible for their parents' sins.[35] Yet another belief he held is that any path a man wished to follow in life was fine by him, as long as they did not regret it.[36]

    Despite his fierce reputation, Whitebeard was a compassionate man, having adopted countless people of different backgrounds into his crew as his foster children, such as Squard, whose life was devastated by Roger killing his crew, or Teach, who requested to join his crew due to being homeless. Marco stated that the main reason the Whitebeard Pirates held such strong loyalty to their captain was due to Newgate's paternal-like attitude, deeply caring for them like a father. Contrary to the tyrannical Kaidou and the insane Big Mom, Whitebeard used his power and influence as one of the Four Emperors for humanitarian purposes. He liberated and protected Fish-Man Island from slavery, an act that touched the hearts of the normally human-distrusting citizens of Ryugu Kingdom, and invested the majority of his riches to support his homeland of Sphinx, a once poor, lawless island.[37] Whitebeard was understanding and forgiving of his subordinates, going to great lengths to rescue any who were in great danger, no matter the cost.[38] He was naturally protective of his family and did not tolerate the idea of letting a crewmate join someone else's crew, especially a rival one. In fact, the notion of separating himself from just one of them, even for a short time, infuriated him. Even if he did accept doing so, it was reluctantly and while showing much annoyance.[39]

    Whitebeard was very careful about choosing a person to be included in his crew, depending on their personality and nature. This cautiousness mainly stemmed from his time as a member of the Rocks Pirates, as the violent and poor relationship among the members of that crew left a negative impact on Whitebeard.[40][26] For this reason, Whitebeard was fully against letting someone like Kouzuki Oden join his crew, since the Samurai was rebellious by nature. Still, Whitebeard showed enough open-mindedness to give Oden a chance to prove himself in a challenge and eventually allowed the Kuri daimyo to be part of his crew after the latter prioritized the life of an innocent woman over the challenge itself. Also, while he held reservations regarding Marshall D. Teach, he nevertheless allowed the boy to join his crew for being an orphan with nowhere else to go; this turned out to be a mistake that Whitebeard would come to regret.

    A distinguishing feature of Whitebeard's nature was his high moral standards: he never forgave the death of a crewmate by another and believed that a man could not live without some form of honor code.[30] When confronted by Blackbeard, he intended to avenge Thatch, despite being close to death at the time.[41] However, he was willing to go against his personal code under certain circumstances if he felt the risk would not be worth the safety of his crew.[42][43]

    Whitebeard seemed to enjoy talking about the past; when Shanks visited his ship, the first thing Newgate did was recollect his memories from the last twenty-two years, particularly those involving old rivals like Roger, Garp, and Sengoku.[44][45] People that were children at that time were still viewed as children in Whitebeard's eyes, no matter how powerful they had grown since.[30][46] Despite fond memories of his time as a pirate captain, Whitebeard was not proud of his former association with the Rocks Pirates due to the lack of camaraderie among members; thus, he rarely referred to those times except in a negative tone.

    Regardless of his poor health at the time, Whitebeard liked drinking, to the point that bringing and sharing a drink with him—preferably of high quality and very expensive—was viewed as an adequately respectful gesture to engage him in conversation. This was seen in his encounters with Shanks,[47] Gol D. Roger,[48] and Shiki; still, this did not guarantee complete cooperation from him, judging from the nature of these conversations.[27][49]

    Like other characters in One Piece, Whitebeard had a unique laugh, which was "Gu ra ra ra ra." [50] Like Perona, his laugh was similar to the name of his Devil Fruit, the Gura Gura no Mi. However, in the anime (before the Marineford Arc) and Gigant Battle, his laugh was changed to a regular "Ha ha ha ha ha." The American Shonen Jump, and the English dub, still retain this version of the laugh, even after the switch in the Japanese version.

    Whitebeard considered every single member of his crew, as well as his subordinate crews, his "sons". His strong love for his crew and subordinate crews traced all the way back to before he even had a crew, when he stated that the one thing, he wanted more than anything was a family.[24]

    Any crewmember from Whitebeard's crew who killed another crewmember were to be hunted down by the commander of that former crew member's division.[52] Whitebeard's strong stand against crewmate killing was based on his fatherly stance over every member of his crew; as a result of this treatment, the whole crew affectionately referred to him as "Pops" or "Old Man" (オヤジ, Oyaji?, an informal variation of "father").[53] However, Whitebeard did not force commanders to hunt down wayward crew members if he had an uneasy feeling about the situation; in the case of Blackbeard, Whitebeard tried to make an exception and stop Ace from hunting him down, but Ace did so anyway for the sake of Whitebeard's honor.[42]

    This was not blind loyalty, as Whitebeard was willing to go to war with the World Government to save Ace.[38] In addition, Whitebeard took full responsibility for the actions of his crew and kept a stern outward appearance for non-crew members, falsely claiming to outsiders that he ordered Ace to hunt down Blackbeard.[32] Whitebeard also treated all of his "sons" and "daughters" equally and claimed to Squard that Ace was no different than any other, despite being Roger's son.[35] In battle, while this unshakable bond between him and his crew stood, Whitebeard's subordinates knew better than to get in the way of their captain.[54]

    Marco Out of everybody within his crew, Marco was perhaps the closest person Whitebeard had to a right-hand man. During the initial stages of the Marineford War, Marco stood right by Whitebeard's side, informing him of battlefield intel, protecting him from long-range assaults, listening to his comments and orders, and was also the only one to rush to Whitebeard's aid after the latter got stabbed by Squard, showing little tolerance to the perpetrator for harming his captain.[55] Later, Marco attempted to assist his captain in fighting Blackbeard, but was ultimately ordered to stand down.[56] After Whitebeard's death, Marco was moved to tears, much like the rest of his crewmates, and made sure to carry out his captain's final order to escort Luffy to safety. Marco was also the one who instigated the Payback War against Blackbeard, gathering the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates to hunt down the crew's traitor and main responsible for Whitebeard and Ace's deaths, but failed to accomplish his revenge.[57]

    As a testament to Whitebeard and Marco's closeness, the latter was aware of the former's childhood circumstances as an orphan of Sphinx, which led to Whitebeard's career of piracy. Since his old captain had spent much of his fortune aiding his struggling homeland, Marco found himself with the duty of protecting the one thing that still remained from Whitebeard's past, becoming a local doctor who took care of the health of the locals. Marco teared up when he told Nekomamushi about Whitebeard's love for the land he had been born into, knowing that it was the reason his captain was so stingy with money.[37]

    Ace bows to Whitebeard in their final moments together. Ace bows to Whitebeard in their final moments together.

    Whitebeard first became aware of Portgas D. Ace while the latter was still a rookie, being curious and impressed by the rapid growth and progress of the youngster's career as a pirate captain.

    After easily defeating him, Whitebeard eventually revealed himself to be a magnanimous man to Ace and his crew, giving him the chance to join his family as his son.[59] Initially, Ace refused this offer and attempted to kill Whitebeard nearly a hundred times, only to fail at each one. As he further bonded with Whitebeard's crewmates, who already treated him as family, Ace eventually grew to respect Whitebeard so much that he viewed him as a proper father figure, due to his hatred of his actual father, Gol D. Roger. Ace claimed to Sengoku that he believed Whitebeard would become Pirate King.

    As Ace's respect for Whitebeard grew, so did his honor as one of the Whitebeard Pirates. Because of this, he was one of the most outraged members regarding Thatch's murder, viewing such a thing as an unforgivable offense to Whitebeard's ideals. Although Whitebeard advised him not to venture into the hunt for Teach, Ace left without permission and, in the end, Whitebeard took responsibility for Ace's mistakes without hesitation by going to Marineford to save him from execution.[60] After Ace was freed from the execution platform, Whitebeard asked him if he had been a good father to him and felt satisfied once Ace stated that he was a good father.[61] Ace's death was enough to make Whitebeard stop holding back the full destructiveness of his Devil Fruit, with him targeting Ace's killer, Akainu, almost immediately after.

    Kouzuki Oden From their first meeting and their brief fight, Whitebeard understood how dangerous and strong Oden was.[62] He initially disagreed on taking Oden into the crew as he saw him as a chaotic type and not capable of submitting to anyone, but eventually after Oden passed a hard test of endurance, even after the samurai threw out the challenge just to save a nearby woman in need, Whitebeard decided to take him on board his ship as his brother and promised him the adventure of a lifetime.[63]

    During the time Oden was onboard his ship, Whitebeard became close to Oden, even regarding his as a brotherly figure. He got very angry when Roger asked him to borrow Oden and then got annoyed when Oden himself asked him to allow it, hating just the idea that he could leave his crew, even if only for a short time. He let Oden go without saying goodbye, but still ordered his crew to leave some supplies for him and his family.[64]

    Whitebeard was well aware of Oden's incredible strength and entrusted him with the command of the second division. He left the command vacant for a long time also after his departure, since he had not received any news of his death until several years after it happened. Whitebeard considered Ace arrogant for thinking he could defeat Kaidou when even Oden couldn't defeat him.[65]

    Advertisement Izou Initially, Izou had a hostile relationship with Whitebeard, which stemmed from the painful and humiliating treatment Izou's master, Oden, was receiving as part of the challenge Whitebeard had given the daimyo in order to join his crew. Izou stated that he would make Whitebeard pay for putting his master through so much trouble.[66] This hostility dissipated a bit when Oden was formally inducted into the Whitebeard Pirates, with Izou sticking around for Oden's sake.[67]

    Izou eventually grew fond of his new group and became a full-fledged member, preferring to stay with the Whitebeard Pirates when Oden decided to join the Roger Pirates. He was eventually promoted to commander of the sixteenth division of the crew, showing that he had earned Whitebeard's respect as a leader and fighter.[64]

    Subordinate Crews Aside from their own 1600-member crew,[68] the Whitebeard Pirates had many subordinate crews working in the New World. Each one of the pirate captains was an infamous pirate who had made a name for him or herself in the New World. There seemed to be at least 43 crews underneath Whitebeard.[69] Whitebeard treated all of his long-time subordinate crews just like his own crew, as though they were his own sons, though some of them were originally from the main crew before becoming captains of their own crews.[70] They all seemed to know Ace, at least, and were willing to help Whitebeard's cause when Ace was about to be executed at Marineford; however, they were not aware that Ace was Roger's son until around the time Ace died. These New World subordinate crews included "Bohemian Knight" Doma, "Thunder Lord" McGuy, the Decalvan Brothers, "Great Whirlpool Spider" Squard,[71] Little Oars Jr.,[72] and the "Ice Witch" Whitey Bay.[73]

    After losing his entire crew to Roger, Squard was taken in by Whitebeard, who treated him like a son and saved him from the loneliness of losing all of his comrades. Squard, in return, thought of Whitebeard as a father figure, but felt betrayed when he thought that Whitebeard was planning to sacrifice all of his subordinate crews to save Ace, leading him to stab the Emperor in a surprise attack. When Whitebeard proved otherwise, Squard broke down in tears at his mistake.[74] He later attempted to redeem himself at the cost of his own life by charging head-first into battle, but Whitebeard himself stopped and reprimanded him.[75]

    Advertisement Friends and Allies Jinbe Because of his role as a protector of Fish-Man Island, Whitebeard was considered a hero by many Fish-Men,[31] in particular Jinbe of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Jinbe had expressed many times that he owed a great deal of gratitude to the Emperor[76] and refused to participate in the war against Whitebeard, even if it meant losing his Warlord of the Sea title and being imprisoned in Impel Down.[77] When Jinbe arrived at Marineford with the other escapees from Impel Down, the first thing he did was announce his formal resignation from the Warlords to Sengoku.

    Over the years, Jinbe's respect for Whitebeard had grown to the point where he was ready to declare himself as an adversary to anyone or anything with ill intent upon the Emperor's life, which is why he immediately engaged in battle against Ace on their first encounter, since Ace was out to assassinate Whitebeard at that time.[78]

    Monkey D. Luffy Whitebeard and Luffy preparing to save Ace. Whitebeard and Luffy preparing to save Ace.

    Whitebeard seemed to have some form of respect for Luffy after hearing about him from both Ace and Shanks; Ace had shown excitement that Luffy was on the Grand Line,[79] and Shanks had stated that he had given up his arm on a "bet on the New Age," referring to Luffy.[36] After showing his fierce tenacity, Luffy had managed to gain Whitebeard's respect.[80] Whitebeard went as far as assigning his top commander, Marco, to act as Luffy's bodyguard during the war and "would not have forgiven him" if Luffy had died.[81]

    As the war went on, his respect for Luffy increased after witnessing Luffy's true potential, and Whitebeard decided to command all his forces to fully support Luffy with all their might, a decision that even surprised his own men. This also marks the first time that Whitebeard called him by his name, Straw Hat Luffy, instead of "brat," proving that Whitebeard came to acknowledge him and his strength through the course of the war.[82] Luffy respected Whitebeard as well, believing that anyone whom Ace admires cannot be a bad person, and was willing to intercept an attack from Crocodile aimed at Whitebeard's life before he even met him in person.[83]

    Before the end of his life, in his final words to Blackbeard and Sengoku, it is implied that he believes Luffy is the person Gol D. Roger has been waiting for and that he will be the one to find One Piece.

    Neptune Whitebeard was an old friend of King Neptune. Their friendship stemmed from when they first drank together, and Whitebeard protected Fish-Man Island from slavery due to this friendship. Though it is unknown how they became friends, it is known that they had been friends for quite some time, as Neptune helped Whitebeard out a lot during his younger days.[31]

    Advertisement Protectorates Before his demise, Whitebeard had a number of locations under his protection.[84] Most of them seemed to be within the brink of pirate raids, and it was only by being "owned" under his name that they were kept stable and safe, thereby earning the Emperor the gratitude of the citizens; consequentially, these territories immediately became vulnerable after his death.[85] At least one other Emperor, Big Mom, placed Fish-Man Island under her protection[86] while Foodvalten fell to Brownbeard.[85] The status of Whitebeard's other former territories is currently unknown, but Blackbeard appears to have taken over most of them during his ascent to Four Emperors status, as he has over two decades of experience with the Whitebeard Pirates and thus knows which islands they were protecting.[87]

    Among Whitebeard's known territories, his own homeland of Sphinx was the most important to him. Due to the high costs of the World Nobles' heavenly tribute being impossible for a poverty-stricken place like Sphinx to afford, the island suffered from constant pirate and slaver attacks without government protection. A young, orphaned Newgate had to grow under those oppressive conditions, leading to his life as pirate, although he never valued treasure as much as the idea of family. As such, Whitebeard dedicated a majority of his riches for humanitarian aid towards Sphinx, having built a peaceful village for the locals to live in.

    Despite having been rivals with Gol D. Roger, Whitebeard held great respect for him. They seemingly had multiple duels upon their lives, with one instance in particular leading to a friendly gift exchange between their crewmembers after three days of endless battling. During this occasion, Whitebeard and Roger held a casual conversation with Kouzuki Oden joining in, showing both captains were comfortable with each other's presence. However, Whitebeard did not like Roger's attempt to "borrow" Oden as a crewmate for the Roger Pirates and was further angered when Oden did show interest in switching crews.

    Not long before his death, Roger met with Whitebeard on an island to have what seemed to be an entirely cordial drinking session, with Roger even offering to give the location of Laugh Tale to Whitebeard, and when Whitebeard asked Roger about the Will of D., Roger willingly told him about it.[48] Upon learning that Ace was his rival's son, Whitebeard did not see his bloodline as an inconvenience, and even tried to inspire Ace to respect Roger as his father.[89]

    At some point in the past, right after attaining the position of one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Crocodile suffered a humiliating defeat against Whitebeard in the New World, enough to shatter his ambitions of becoming Pirate King for a while. Knowing he could not obtain the title of Pirate King without military might to challenge the likes of Whitebeard, Crocodile fled back to Paradise, where he settled in Arabasta in order to found Baroque Works and eventually conquer the kingdom, so he could search it for one of the Ancient Weapons, Pluton.[91]

    Crocodile was one of the many Impel Down convicts who sought revenge against Whitebeard. While he did attempt to take Whitebeard's life at Marineford, he was stopped from doing so by Luffy. From then on, Crocodile took a neutral role in the war, fighting both Marines and Whitebeard's men, with Whitebeard himself showing some annoyance towards Crocodile's attacks on his crew.

    Despite his genuine grudge against the Emperor, Crocodile seemed to have at least some degree of respect for him. This was evident when he became extremely disappointed and angry at the Whitebeard's failing health, stating that he no longer looked like the same man who defeated him years ago. Still, by the end of the war, Crocodile started fighting for Whitebeard's side, as he preferred the Marines to not have a complete win.

    Marines Whitebeard respected both Monkey D. Garp and Sengoku, a respect which was mutual. He considered them among the few people that knew the seas from Roger's era who are still alive in the present.[88] On the other hand, he considered other younger Marines to be "brats" and refused to give any of them, including the powerful admirals, much respect.[46][92] However, Sakazuki earned Whitebeard's wrath for killing Ace, and Whitebeard brutally injured him.[93]

    Marshall D. Teach, also known as Blackbeard, was one of Whitebeard's oldest crewmates, having joined the crew at twelve years old. When Teach claimed to be an orphan with nowhere else to go, Whitebeard quickly allowed him to join out of sympathy. Though it is unknown if Whitebeard knew that Teach was the son of his former captain Rocks D. Xebec.

    Teach ultimately became Whitebeard's greatest enemy for killing Thatch and enabling Ace's capture and execution. Claiming that Blackbeard alone was the only one whom he refused to consider his son, Whitebeard attempted to take Blackbeard's life prior to his death, calling him an arrogant fool that was never worthy of being a part of his crew.[94] Just before dying, Whitebeard openly declared that Blackbeard was not worthy of being Roger's successor.[95] His last thought being his regret for allowing Teach to hurt his foster family. After Whitebeard's death, Blackbeard stole his Devil Fruit powers, conquered his territories, and usurped his post as one of the Four Emperors.[87] Whitebeard appears to be one of the very few people Teach genuinely fears, as shown when he pathetically begged him for mercy while being stomped on the ground before landing the final blow on his former captain.

    During his many battles with the Roger Pirates, Whitebeard would notice and grow more and more familiar with Shanks,[79] since he would always spot the youngster alongside Buggy during their battles.[44] As the years went by and the two became members of the Four Emperors they would be considered enemies by each others respective crew's. In his first appearance, Whitebeard received a letter from Shanks delivered by the formers newest crewmate, Rockstar. However, before even reading the letter, Whitebeard threw it away, claiming that Shanks should come in person with some expensive sake if he wanted to talk.[97] Most of all, he refused to accept Shanks as anything more than the kid he was 22 years ago and believed he was 100 years too young to tell him what to do.[30]

    Despite being enemies, Shanks held great respect for Whitebeard, which made him willing to lend his aid to Whitebeard by preventing the Emperor Kaidou from reaching Whitebeard, allowing him to reach Marineford without any hindrance.[98] After Whitebeard's death, Shanks saved Whitebeard's crew and their other subordinate crews,[99] and gave Whitebeard and Ace a proper burial.[100]

    Kaidou In the past, they used to be part of the Rocks Pirates, which Whitebeard is initially on amiable terms with the young Kaidou, with the latter expressing envy for Newgate's Gura Gura no Mi and Whitebeard advising him to choose a Devil Fruit carefully as it could affect him for life. After the incident at God Valley in which they helped Rocks against Imu, they went their separate ways to form their own crews and became Emperors. Despite their past camaraderie, Kaidou does not think highly of Whitebeard, stating that he was too soft-hearted despite being powerful. Still, he acknowledges that the once strongest man in the world had died in glory.[101] Kaidou also recognized Whitebeard among the few powerful individuals capable of fighting him.[102]

    Despite knowing and expressing contempt that Kaido had killed Oden whom Whitebeard considered a brother, he also acknowledged Kaidou's immense power and for this, he chose not to march into Wano Country to wage war against his crew just to avenge Oden's death, knowing that it would cause many casualties. In addition, Whitebeard warned his subordinate Ace that, despite Ace's own reputation and strength, he had no chance of victory against Kaido, showing wariness of Kaido's increase in strength over the years. [65]

    Under normal circumstances, they did not provoke each other. However, Kaidou saw an opportunity to eliminate his adversary prior to the impending Summit War of Marineford and did not hesitate to attempt to do so.[98] Two years later, Kaidou cursed Whitebeard for being able to die while he remained alive.[103]

    Advertisement Rocks Pirates Whitebeard had been acquainted with Rocks 48 years ago and eventually became a brief yet founding member of the Rocks Pirates for six years, specifically until the God Valley Incident, when the crew met its downfall. At that point, he was already in possession of the Gura Gura ability, making Newgate one of their prominent members alongside Rocks himself.

    Whitebeard did not seem to hold his old crew or captain in high regard, rarely talking about his time as a member, though it was clear that he was one of their more better-natured constituents and was about as welcoming as Linlin was to the young Kaidou. He even mentored the latter on what it meant to attain a Devil Fruit power when Kaidou expressed a desire to obtain one himself. And during a flashback from when the two went to Elbaph, he was openly critical of Rocks brutalizing the giant prince Loki, who was a mere child at the time.[104] 38 years ago, as the crew arrived on God Valley, he called Rocks a fool repeatedly, worrying that his antics would distract from their "mission" to recover Shakky and any treasure or Devil Fruits. [26] He used the Rocks Pirates as a reason for dismissing Oden joining the Whitebeard Pirates, citing the daimyo's wild, rebellious nature as being difficult to control and equating it to the other members of Rocks.[105]

    Whitebeard reluctantly joined Rocks after losing a Davy Back Fight. Whitebeard was open about why he followed Rocks and that he didn't much care for Rocks's ambitions. He also did not respect Rocks, going as far as referring to him as a fool. Despite this, Whitebeard followed Rocks along his journey and stayed with the Rocks Pirates as long as possible. When the Rocks Pirates invaded God Valley and Rocks headed off by himself, Whitebeard was annoyed about Rocks' apparent lack of leadership and that Rocks shouldn't forget the big picture. Even though he didn't have much sympathy or empathy for his captain, that didn't stop Whitebeard from having enough camaraderie towards his captain to willingly help Rocks against Imu in God Valley.[106] When Rocks was unwillingly turned into a demon by Imu at God Valley, Whitebeard was shocked to see his former captain this changed. However, Whitebeard remained unfazed by Rocks when he witnessed Rocks assaulting both Kaidou and Linlin before he defended himself against Rocks.[107] Whitebeard later appeared to be untouched by the previous events and Rocks's sudden betrayal, as he didn't care about finding Rocks or helping him against Roger and Garp.[108] Even years later, Whitebeard would never talk about his time in the Rocks Pirates or Rocks himself, signaling that he didn't care much about Rocks to remember the time he had in the Rocks Pirates or with Rocks.

They appeared to have a sort of rivalry back then, as Shiki threw a bomb at him while they were raiding the International Philanthropy Federation and later grew annoyed at Whitebeard for acting like his leader.[26] After the God Valley Incident, they went their separate ways to form their own respective crews.

    Despite this, Shiki did not appear to have a serious grudge with Whitebeard; he thought of him as a strong man and able to take over Roger's dominion of the sea, as he said when they were drinking together on the Moby Dick and speaking about old times. Whitebeard was mostly annoyed with Shiki's ramblings at the time and even threatened to have Shiki thrown into the sea but seemingly knew he had something planned, being familiar with the Golden Lion's penchant for schemes.[27]

However, by 38 years ago, he was comfortable with Stussy placing herself atop his shoulder.[26] although he was more interested in saving Shakky much to Stussy's annoyance.

    Whitebeard was one of the most powerful pirates in history. In his prime, he was one of the few able to take on the Pirate King Gol D. Roger, battling him for days to a draw.[7][114] Due to his incredible strength, he was already feared as the "Strongest Man in the World", before Roger's death and the start of Great Age of Pirates.[10] After Roger's death, Whitebeard became one of the Four Emperors, the four most powerful pirates in the world and the rulers of the New World.[5] In fact, among them, he was considered the "Closest Man to One Piece", and the ruler of the sea who stood before the "throne" and the title of Pirate King.[7][115] As a testament to this, Whitebeard held not only the highest bounty among his peers, but the second highest in recorded history, at over 5 billion (only behind Roger's own).[11] Kaidou, who is renowned as the world's "Strongest Creature", put Whitebeard in the same elite class as other legendary pirates, that actually possess the strength to stand against him in battle, such as Roger, Kouzuki Oden, Shanks, and their former captain.[102]

    Even in his old age, he was able to effortlessly defeat Ace over a hundred times, even once while he was sleeping.[116] During the Summit War of Marineford, Newgate's health was declining at a rapid rate due to his refusal to go into battle with life support and medication, despite this, he was able to engage in combat with Aokiji,[117] Kizaru,[118] and Akainu[21] on even terms. After Akainu killed Ace, Whitebeard brutally injured the Admiral in retaliation, with the latter being practically helpless in response to Whitebeard's power, temporarily defeating him in a relatively short battle with a mere two hits, causing immense destruction all around.[119]

    Whitebeard's reputation alone made his simple declaration of Fish-Man Island being his territory enough to keep slave traders and pirates from attacking the island further, making Whitebeard himself far more effective than the treaty signed with the World Government 200 years before his death.[31] People from every ocean were aware of the Emperor's power and seemingly believed that he could end the world if he so wished.[120] Few would dare to challenge him or any of his crew, which makes Ace, Crocodile, Aokiji, Akainu, Blackbeard, Kaidou, and Luffy very brave and powerful people, for just trying. After his death, the entire world fell into chaos: with total victory declared for the Marines and all of Whitebeard's territories no longer considered dangerous (despite the fact that his crew was still alive).[121]

    As a true testament to his strength and reputation, the World Government was prepared to use practically the entire Marine force and the Seven Warlords of the Sea to fight Newgate and his crew, with Sengoku even remarking that their victory was not guaranteed due to Whitebeard's overwhelming power.[122][123]

    Advertisement Physical Abilities “ Even in death, his body did not fall. His figure, taking down enemies while losing half of his head, was truly monstrous. The total number of sword wounds he received in this battle was 267. He was shot by 152 bullets and was hit by 46 cannonballs. And despite all this, his proud back, over the course of his entire life as a pirate, never received a single scar from running away! ” — Edward Newgate's death.[124]

    Whitebeard refuses to use his medical apparatus while his crew fusses over him. Whitebeard refuses to use his medical apparatus while his crew fusses over him.

    Whitebeard was given the title of the "Strongest Man in the World" for his physical power, which is far superior to even a giant. During the Summit War of Marineford, Whitebeard completely overpowered vast numbers of strong Marine officers and giants with tremendous physical might, such as Vice Admiral Lonz, with only one hand and supplemented by his Devil Fruit powers.[125][126][127] Whitebeard blocked a two-handed downward swing from the giant Vice Admiral John Giant with only one hand on his naginata,[128] extinguished the flames of one of Akainu's molten rocks with just a single breath,[129] and prevented a massive paddle ship from advancing using only one hand.[130] He could jump to great heights to attack large opponents, such as John Giant.[131] In his prime, Newgate was capable of fighting Roger to a standstill in a battle that lasted 3 days and 3 nights [114] and instantly slice a Knight of God in half (although said Knight quickly regenerated from the attack). [132]

    Despite his gigantic size, Whitebeard could move at considerable speeds, having appeared behind Akainu to attack him in a matter of seconds, with the latter (who was on his way to kill Luffy) only realizing it once his soldiers yelled at him to watch out.[133]

    Whitebeard appeared to have debilitating health problems, possibly stemming from his advanced age and excessive drinking. Furthermore, since Thatch is responsible for keeping his health in check with his cooking, Whitebeard's health deteriorates even faster after Thatch's death by the hands of Blackbeard.[134] When not in battle, he was always surrounded by nurses, used oxygen tubes, and was hooked up to intravenous tubes and life support systems; despite this, he used to literally drink sake by the barrel.[1] However, Marco noted that Whitebeard's health had gotten worse, and he no longer possessed the reflexes to avoid Squard's surprise attack, which was, in the past, something easy for him to achieve.[135] Even with his health issues, Whitebeard was still considered the world's most dangerous and powerful pirate.

    Whitebeard's physical resistance and pain tolerance were tremendous: he was able to keep fighting despite the number of life-threatening injuries he sustained, which included part of his head being burned off.[19] This also proves that Whitebeard possessed enormous amounts of stamina and endurance; no matter how much damage he took throughout the battle, Whitebeard continued to press forward and fight, only stopping once almost all of the Blackbeard Pirates collectively shot and brutally stabbed him to death at point-blank range.[136] It was shown that even in his old age, in a heavily wounded state and without access to his Devil Fruit and Haki powers, he could near-effortlessly take down a Warlord of the Sea, as demonstrated in his fight against Blackbeard.[137]

    During the Summit War, Whitebeard sustained 267 sword wounds, 152 gunshot wounds, and 46 wounds from cannonballs, and got a portion of his head blasted off, totaling 465 injuries in all.[124] In addition, he received one of Kizaru's laser beams[138] and two of Akainu's magma blasts.[21][19] Whitebeard also received a brutal assault from the Blackbeard Pirates. However, even after taking so much damage in his already weakened state, he died standing, an impressive feat when compared to other characters. Even Teach was shocked by Whitebeard's tenacity.[139]

    Whitebeard Extinguishing A Fireball Whitebeard blocks and subsequently extinguishes a molten rock from Admiral Akainu.[140] Whitebeard vs. John Giant Whitebeard parries a two-handed downward swing from giant Vice Admiral John Giant with just one hand.[141] Whitebeard Fighting Whitebeard defeats several Marine Officers in one swoop despite being heavily injured. Whitebeard stopping one of his ships Whitebeard stops his flagship from charging forward with just one hand.[142]

    Advertisement Tactical Skills Besides his formidable power, Whitebeard was a brilliant leader and an incredibly skilled military strategist: a match for former Fleet Admiral Sengoku, one renowned as "The Resourceful General" for his famed acumen on the field of battle. The Emperor's tactical prowess was demonstrated when he saw through Sengoku's deliberate leak of information regarding a change of schedule for Ace's execution,[143] and when he foresaw the Pacifista's arrival at Marineford and scattered the pirates so that they would not be routed by the cyborgs.[144]

    In addition, Whitebeard could easily adapt to rapidly changing situations even in the heat of battle, as shown when he bypassed a siege wall impervious to his Devil Fruit powers by having Oars, who was in a near-death state, help carry the paddle ship into the Marineford plaza.[145] Even when he was on the brink of death, Whitebeard quickly thought of a countermeasure against Teach's Devil Fruit power's nullification abilities by using his naginata to cut Teach down, taking him off-guard for him to use his quake powers to injure him.

    Devil Fruit Further information: Gura Gura no Mi Whitebeard uses the Gura Gura no Mi. Whitebeard uses the Gura Gura no Mi.

    Whitebeard ate the Gura Gura no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allowed him to generate powerful shockwaves and earthquakes.[146] This power is considered to be the strongest Devil Fruit power within the Paramecia class.[147] According to Sengoku, Whitebeard had the power to destroy the world.[148]

    He had the power to send incredibly powerful shockwaves through the air, creating cracks in the air itself in the process. These shockwaves possess devastating offensive might, being able to clash evenly with the Magu Magu no Mi, the Devil Fruit with the highest attack power out of all the Devil Fruits.[149] He could use these shockwaves to quickly take down multiple enemies over a widespread area or take down a single target with terrifying effectiveness, even Giants. He could also use his shockwaves defensively, as their vast raw power could easily stop incoming attacks. He could also generate strong vibrations from his body that could easily shatter ice.[150][151]

    An entire island and the surrounding sea being tilted. An entire island and the surrounding sea being tilted.

    He could use his power to shake, rupture, and tilt the landscape itself. By striking at the general area with his quake powers, he could cause large earthquakes and, under the right circumstances, massive tsunamis.[152] His quakes would cause serious damage and alterations to the surrounding landscape, destroying buildings, creating large crevices in the ground, and pushing up fragments of the ground into new rock formations. He could even "grab" the surrounding area itself and tilt it, described as making the entire sea tilt.[153]

    Whitebeard could use his power to enhance his physical attacks by surrounding his hands and feet with concentrated quake bubbles.[125] These quake bubbles would release a small but powerful shockwave on impact, greatly increasing the destructive power of his melee attacks. He could also surround the blade of his polearm with a quake bubble, greatly increasing its destructive power as well.[126]

    Soon after Whitebeard's death, his power was stolen by Blackbeard through unknown means.[154]

    Advertisement Haki Main article: Haki Whitebeard was one of the very few people in the world who could use all three types of Haki.

    Supreme King Haki Whitebeard infusing Murakumogiri with Supreme King Haki. Whitebeard infusing Murakumogiri with Supreme King Haki.

    Whitebeard possessed immense mastery in the usage of Supreme King Haki.[155] During his initial encounter with Kouzuki Oden 30 years ago, their sudden clash created a notable effect similar to lightning and released a large burst.[156] His Supreme King Haki was displayed to a far greater extent against his longtime rival, Gol D. Roger, as their clashing Supreme King Haki cracked the air, creating an effect akin to lightning and generating a shock wave that blew back everything and everyone on and near the island. Most notably, Newgate was one of the small "handful" of people capable of using the advanced application of "infusing" his attacks with Supreme King Haki, which exponentially increased his attack power, with his naginata being shown emitting streams of black lightning-like energy which caused their clash to disperse the clouds nearby.[114][157] Another example was his clash with Shanks which resulted in the heavens being split in two.[158]

    During the Summit War, he was on the verge of using Supreme King Haki against some of the World Government's executioners to protect Portgas D. Ace but failed because of a sudden illness attack.[159] He is capable of using this form of Haki in the video games One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2, 3 and 4 as well as One Piece: Burning Blood.

    Observation Haki Whitebeard was an extremely skilled user of Observation Haki. It was first shown 30 years prior after both he and the Whitebeard Pirates shipwrecked in Wano, as he could sense Oden coming from a vast distance towards them, and his overall strength.[62][10] He was even able to sense and counter Ace (when he was still new on the ship and was attempting to kill Newgate) while sleeping. In the bay of Marineford, he predicted Crocodile's sudden attack but did not move, knowing that Luffy would block it.[160] However, due to both his age and worsening health, he failed to predict Squard's betrayal and thus got injured,[161] something which, according to Marco, was totally unexpected from the Emperor.[135]

    Armament Haki Whitebeard and Roger clash with Haki-imbued weapons. Whitebeard and Roger clash with Haki-imbued weapons.

    Whitebeard was an immensely skilled user of Armament Haki, which he could imbue his weapon Murakumogiri with. Two decades ago in his prime, he was shown clashing evenly with the samurai Kouzuki Oden who was a powerful Armament Haki user in his own right.[156] Whitebeard could also utilize the advanced technique of projecting Haki out from his blade; this was shown during his fight with Roger where the duo's weapons met in a powerful clash without even making contact.[114]

    In the anime, when Whitebeard used advanced Armament Haki, it is shown as a red-colored flowing aura.

    Due to his age and worsening health, it was not as powerful compared to his prime, but he could still negate the intangibility of Logia-based Devil Fruits. In the past, he was able to defeat Crocodile (though it is unknown if the former Warlord of the Sea had eaten his Devil Fruit by that point).[162] During the Summit War, Whitebeard successfully inflicted significant damage on Akainu,[163] whereas Marco, Vista, and Jinbe—highly skilled Armament Haki users themselves—failed to do so.[164]

    Advertisement Weapons Further information: Murakumogiri Whitebeard swings Murakumogiri in conjunction with his Devil Fruit powers. Whitebeard swings Murakumogiri in conjunction with his Devil Fruit powers.

    Whitebeard wielded a gigantic naginata called Murakumogiri, one of the 12 Supreme Grade Blades. He was immensely skilled with this blade even in old age. He could use Murakumogiri to fight off countless powerful Marines in Marineford, including Marine Admirals, and during his prime, he also clashed with Kouzuki Oden, one of the strongest samurai of Wano.

    During his childhood in Sphinx, his standard weapon was an improvised spear, made from a simple knife bound to a pole.

    Marco the Phoenix[6][11] is the former 1st division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates.[2] Once starting out as an apprentice on the crew,[4] he eventually came to be Whitebeard's closest confidant and right-hand man.[12] After his captain's death during the Summit War of Marineford, Marco assumed leadership of the Whitebeard Pirates until the crew's disbandment following the Payback War.[13]

    In the year since the disbandment, Marco worked as a doctor in Whitebeard's home village on Sphinx;[3] following the Raid on Onigashima, during which Marco acted as an ally to the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance, Marco permanently retired from piracy, returning to his duties as a doctor on Sphinx.[14] Marco is a major ally during the Marineford and Wano Country Arcs.

    The video player is currently playing an ad. You can skip the ad in 5 sec with a mouse or keyboard Appearance Marco is a tall, lean, muscular, man with a rather sleepy look on his face and some stubble around his chin. He has short blond hair sticking in the top of his head similar to a pineapple's crown and he wears an open purple jacket and a light blue sash adorned with an elaborate golden-yellow belt around his waist. He has dark gray knee-long pants and black sandals, and on his left leg he wears what appears to be some sort of straw decoration, in a similar fashion to Arlong. While his chest was bare in his initial appearance, in his subsequent appearances he has the cross and crescent moon mustache symbol that resembles a black silhouette of Whitebeard's Jolly Roger tattooed on it.[15] Robin and Luffy believe that Marco's head looks like a pineapple. [13]

    Initially in the anime, Marco was given a generic crew member look of a black-haired man with pale skin and different clothes.[1] When he later became more formally recognized in the story, his appearance was changed to what is depicted in the manga, along with his light purple jacket, his black pants and his dark red tattoo.[16] Later, starting with Opening 13 "One Day", he was given another color scheme. Once again, his jacket was recolored in a much brighter purple, his pants were made dark blue, his tattoo blue and his skin a little brighter.

    Marco was a member of the Whitebeard Pirates twenty-two years ago as well. Even at the age of 23, his appearance, for the most part, resembles his present self.[17]

    As a kid, Marco's signature tuft of hair was curlier. He sported a vertically striped shirt, with black pants, and no shoes. As a teenager, his appearance was not much different.[4]

    After the timeskip, while working as a doctor on Whitebeard's home island, Marco wears a light button-up shirt as well as a pair of eyeglasses. He also has more facial hair.[3] During the raid on Onigashima, Marco wears his initial attire and retains his eyeglasses.[18]

    Advertisement Personality Marco is generally calm and level-headed in the face of adversity or challenge; the only strong emotional moments he has shown so far were directly related to Whitebeard's health (after he was stabbed in the torso by his own subordinate Squard and after his death).[19] When Ace and Whitebeard were killed, Marco and the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates were in tears.[20]

    In fact, seeing his captain, Whitebeard, get stabbed through the chest by a deceived Squard was enough for Marco to lose his usually unshakable cool-headedness that he immediately flew over to where they were to smash Squard's head against the Moby Dick's figurehead.[19]

    He also demonstrates himself to be acute at detecting power, able to quickly notice the presence of Red-Haired Shanks' Supreme King Haki before anyone else aboard the Moby Dick[2] as well as the underlying potential of Monkey D. Luffy.[21] He clearly cares for his crew, as he warned them to stay back from Shanks' Haki.[2]

    Having been a member of the Whitebeard Pirates for at least thirty years, Marco has an extremely high degree of experience with exposure and combat inside the treacherous New World. After Whitebeard and Portgas D. Ace's deaths at Marineford, Marco took the position of commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, highlighting his level of intelligence and suitability in taking up a commanding position.

    He appears to be somewhat playful, pretending to be hurt from Admiral Kizaru's attack with obvious sarcasm, though he can also quickly become serious.

    Marco seems to appreciate raw talent, even if it comes from someone whom he had never met before (i.e., Luffy). Because of this and based on the fact that Luffy intercepted Crocodile's attack on Whitebeard, Marco immediately took a liking to him.[21]

    When he was an apprentice, he appeared to be a cheerful person. He was also encouraging as he cheered on Oden when he came close to passing Whitebeard's test to join the crew. He showed a playful side when he noticed Oden being close to Toki.

    In general, Marco always conducts himself in a level-headed, polite, and dignified manner. He is very kind and selfless, serving as the doctor on Sphinx to help and protect the villagers and aiding the Straw Hats heavily several times for no other reason than supporting their goals.

    Like some other characters, Marco has a very particular speech habit, which is a simple tic without meaning, ending his sentences with "-yoi" (～よい?): e.g., "arigatō-yoi" (ありがとうよい?, "thanks-yoi") or "mattero-yoi" (待ってろよい?, "wait-yoi").

    Advertisement Relationships Crew Marco standing next to Whitebeard during the battle of Marineford. Marco standing next to Whitebeard during the battle of Marineford.

    Being a division head of Whitebeard's crew, Marco had a very strong bond with Whitebeard. So strong was their bond, it seemed very similar to a captain and first mate relationship, much like the one of Gol D. Roger and Silvers Rayleigh. This can be indicated by Marco's position as 1st division commander. Also, during the Summit War of Marineford, Marco stood at Whitebeard's side almost the entire time in the early stages of the battle. Marco was also the first and only crewmate who rushed to Whitebeard's aid, after Whitebeard was stabbed by Squard and during his battle with Akainu. Later, Marco attempted to assist his captain in fighting Blackbeard, but was ultimately ordered to stand down. Marco, along with his crewmates, considered Whitebeard their "father" much in the same way the great pirate considered them his "children".

    Marco also had a very strong bond with the other commanders as well as the rest of the crew. He and Ace seemed to have a close friendship, due to him explaining to Ace the bond between Whitebeard and his crew. Marco also trusted Vista enough to protect Luffy from Mihawk. By his own admission, Marco liked Oden and decided to go to Wano in order to avenge his death, despite wanting to protect Sphinx. Though Izou would later die in the raid to liberate Wano, Marco was at least satisfied with having Izou buried at Ringo within his homeland, knowing it was at least something he would have wanted.

    Allies Monkey D. Luffy “ That boy's life... is what remains now of Ace's will!!! We will protect him without fail, in place of Ace!!! ” — Marco, on protecting Luffy from Akainu.[22]

    Having heard stories about Luffy from Ace, Marco was among the first people to recognize the Straw Hat captain in the midst of the battle in Marineford, despite not having encountered him prior. While no direct interaction occurred between the two, Marco, took an immediate liking to Luffy after the young pirate stopped Crocodile from attacking Whitebeard. Later, under Whitebeard's orders, he was delegated the task of ensuring that Luffy lived through the battle in Marineford. In the anime they had a short conversation after he saved Luffy from Aokiji, during which Luffy thanked him for saving him while Marco told him not to worry about it. Marco was also surprised at seeing Luffy's Supreme King Haki and when his captain told the rest of the crew to back up Luffy. After Ace's demise, he stopped Akainu from killing Luffy and urged the other Whitebeard Pirates to save Luffy, as Ace sacrificed his life for his.

    Two years after the battle at Marineford, Luffy is shown to be thankful to Marco and the Whitebeard Pirates for protecting him from Akainu and wishes to meet them again one day in order to thank them for saving his life.[23] During the raid on Onigashima, he stopped the Big Mom Pirates from entering Wano to prevent them from interfering with the Straw Hats' decisive battle against the Beasts Pirates.[18] After both Kaidou and Big Mom's defeats, Luffy had the chance to thank Marco for saving his life in the Summit War.

    Advertisement Shanks Marco talking with Shanks at the funeral of Whitebeard and Ace. Marco talking with Shanks at the funeral of Whitebeard and Ace.

    The two first met over 26 years ago, but they did not show any animosity towards each other back then.

    Years later, Marco was hostile towards Shanks as he regarded him as an enemy. After Shanks knocked out some Whitebeard Pirates with his Haki, Marco insulted and scolded him for the damage he had done and even told him to shut up after the Emperor offered him to join his crew.[2]

    After the battle of Marineford, Marco apologized to Shanks for his previous behavior and genuinely thanked him for ensuring the funerals of both Whitebeard and Ace, finally acknowledging him as an ally.[24] Marco is also grateful to Shanks for burying Whitebeard near his hometown.[23]

    Marco took a ride with Shanks to reach Sphinx. When Shanks offers Marco to join his crew, he still refused.

    Nekomamushi Marco is well acquainted with the mink as they sailed on Whitebeard's ship together years ago. Nekomamushi knew exactly where to find Marco when he needed help. The pair caught up on recent events and impending threats before Nekomamushi understood why he didn't want to leave the island. Marco was amused that the latter gave up on trying to recruit him so easily and asked to pass on a message to Luffy for him.[23] However, Marco changed his mind and entered Wano at the same time as Nekomamushi, prompting him to throw the message overboard.

    Straw Hat Pirates Just like with their captain, Marco has taken a liking to the Straw Hat Pirates and has high expectations of them, choosing to support Luffy himself in becoming the Pirate King. During the raid on Onigashima, he helped them multiple times, such as helping Zoro get to the rooftop, buying Chopper time to cure Queen's Ice Oni virus and protecting them directly. He thinks very highly of them and told them they should be handling the strongest members of the Beast Pirates rather than waste their strength fighting the weaker members.

    Jinbe As one of Whitebeard's allies, Marco has a great camaraderie with Jinbe. When holding off Akainu from killing Luffy, Marco ordered Jinbe to take Luffy and escape. They once again joined forces to defeat Kaidou and Big Mom.

    Advertisement Enemies Marshall D. Teach Due to his role in the capture of Ace and the deaths of Thatch and Edward Newgate, Blackbeard is considered both an enemy and a traitor to the Whitebeard Pirates. He was shocked to see the power of his captain in the hands of Teach. During the timeskip, he and the rest of Whitebeard Pirates fought against the Blackbeard Pirates in the "Payback War", but lost and have since disappeared.[13]

    Even after the timeskip, Marco still despises Teach calling his actions deplorable and referring to him as ungrateful for taking advantage of the crew, despite everything they did for him.[23]

    World Government Marco detests the World Government for its tyrannical policies, specifically the Heavenly Tribute as he notes many nations do not become affiliated with the political entity because they cannot pay the massive tax that is demanded by the World Nobles to obtain access to resources to protect civilians from crime and poverty.[25]

    Big Mom Pirates Marco was an enemy of the Big Mom Pirates as his captain Whitebeard and Charlotte Linlin were peers who used to be crewmates within the Rocks Pirates and became adversaries when they became two of the Four Emperors. Despite this enmity, Big Mom appears to have a degree of respect for the Whitebeard Pirates as she questioned why they were helping members of the Worst Generation incite an uprising against Kaidou. She believes it is sad the remnants of the crew have lost their way in disturbing the balance of power in the New World. Marco in turn was willing to temporarily cooperate with Charlotte Perospero to defeat Kaidou but informs Big Mom they are surviving crewmates and can live as they want with their captain's death at Marineford. Marco then clashed against Big Mom, his phoenix flames proving capable of overpowering those of Prometheus. Big Mom grabbed Marco by the neck and ordered Perospero to kill him.

    Abilities and Powers As the former 1st division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco held authority over the 1,600 crew members lower-ranked than him,[2] while enjoying particularly deep trust by Whitebeard as his "right hand".[12][5] A veteran of the crew, Marco had been part of it for at least thirty years, from the time of Gol D. Roger in his apprentice days.[4] Following Whitebeard's death, Marco assumed full leadership of the Whitebeard Pirates, their retreat from Marineford seemingly made under his command.[26][27] Later on, it was he who led the crew into the Payback War against the Blackbeard Pirates, until the crew's subsequent dissolution after the Blackbeard Pirates had defeated them.[13]

    Marco's status in the world is well-established, especially thanks to his massive bounty of Beli1,374,000,000.[5] After the war at Marineford, the Five Elders mentioned Marco (only him by name) with the remaining Whitebeard Pirates as one of the few groups left capable of defeating Blackbeard, who at that point was already held to be the chief candidate for succeeding Whitebeard as Emperor.[27] Other Emperors have also expressed their respect for Marco: Shanks on three separate occasions called on him to join his crew,[2][24][14] and Big Mom acknowledged Marco's strength by noting that his allegiance to the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance was unbecoming of a man of his caliber.[28]

    In battle, Marco is shown to be a very powerful combatant. At Marineford he, if only briefly, fought and held his own against each of the three Marine admirals, indicating his capabilities.[29][30][31][32] During the Raid on Onigashima, Marco had a brief, head-on clash with Big Mom on what seemed to be even terms, Marco appearing confident that he could keep the Emperor occupied. When abandoning their confrontation, Big Mom stated that she did not have enough souls to spare on Marco.[33] Later during the raid, Marco effectively held off and overpowered the two All-Stars King and Queen, Kaidou's two strongest combatants with bounties over 1.3 billion, at once; however, Marco did state that fighting the two was difficult for him, and he sustained some light injuries amid the engagement[34][35][36][37] until eventually (if only temporarily) succumbing to exhaustion.[38]

    Marco is shown to have a strong will, remaining unfazed by the Emperor Shanks' Supreme King Haki as it was knocking his lower-ranked crewmates unconscious by the dozens.[2]

    Advertisement Intelligence Since childhood Marco has been very intelligent, supporting his crew with more than just battle power by providing knowledge and insight.[5] He had enough medical knowledge to act, assisted by his powers, as a ship doctor,[3] and while as a child he had a big passion for navigation, it is unknown how deep his knowledge runs in the present.[5]

    Physical Abilities Marco launching a powerful knee strike. Marco launching a powerful knee strike.

    Marco possesses immense physical strength. He could clash with marine admirals, blowing Kizaru and Aokiji large distances away using simple kicks (overpowering the former's one-armed guard and breaking the latter's Ice Saber in the act).[29][30] He easily toppled the Queen Mama Chanter, a gigantic ship, above the Wano waterfall entry in a single blow[18] and was later seen clashing head-on against Big Mom while the woman was wielding Prometheus, seemingly matching up to the Emperor's monstrous strength in the process, for a brief time; ultimately though, Big Mom was able to restrain Marco with a one-handed chokehold.[39] To King and Queen Marco has been repeatedly seen dealing powerful melee blows, his phoenix-legged kicks sending the All-Stars flying with great force and drawing blood.[36] In the anime, Marco was even able to send Queen in his massive brachiosaurus form flying a fair distance away with a one-legged kick.[40]

    Marco seems to prefer an off-the-ground, kick-emphasizing style of attack supplemented by his phoenix transformation. Aerially in his hybrid form, he has been seen delivering hard kicks (and even knee strikes) using his human legs or with his feet as phoenix talons, to deal slashing damage.[29][30][31][18][36]

    Marco is extremely fast and agile, especially while flying. He sprung instantaneously to protect Whitebeard from Kizaru's Yasakani no Magatama, interposing himself between his captain and the extremely quick-moving barrage of light bullets, and went on to intercept and clash with the fast-as-light admiral.[29]

    On top of his self-regeneration, Marco has exhibited great endurance. He was relatively fine (and able to run whilst healing) after having two of Kizaru's lasers pierce clean through his torso[41] and was later shot yet another two times while Seastone-shackled (thus with his powers nullified), but was still able to stand and function normally thereafter.[42][43]

    Advertisement Devil Fruit Further information: Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix Marco transforms into a phoenix. Marco transforms into a phoenix.

    Marco ate the Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix,[5] a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows him to transform into a phoenix and a human-phoenix hybrid at will. He has a very well-developed mastery over his transformation, allowing him to alter select parts of his body as he needs to. This power is the source of his nickname "Marco the Phoenix."[29]

    As a Zoan, Marco enjoys a great boost to his physical abilities, gaining enough strength to restrain two extremely powerful Ancient Zoan users at once.[34] Furthermore, as a bird-type Zoan, Marco gains wings that allow him to fly in both his hybrid form and full phoenix form,[29] as well as taloned bird legs that he can use to perform powerful kicks or slash enemies with.[30][31][18][36]

    Marco can freely create his "Blue Flames of Resurrection" from any part of his body, even without actually transforming, and they always cover him while transformed.[44] These phoenix flames are stronger than normal fire[39] and possess tremendous healing properties; while shrouded in the flames, Marco can rapidly self-regenerate from nearly any physical damage he receives, like a phoenix being reborn. It is noted, or at least implied, that no matter what injury he is dealt, he can recover by flame (even injuries that he suffered while his powers were nullified).[5][29][41][42] Such immense power of recovery allows Marco to ward off extremely potent attacks with little issue, like Kizaru's volley of light bullets[29] or even Akainu's magma punch.[32]

    Marco can also share his healing flames with others, allowing him to mend them as well, even multiple individuals at once. However, his flames are less effective on anyone other than himself.[23][45]

    Haki Main article: Haki Armament Haki Marco is a highly skilled user of Armament Haki, shown by his ability to imbue his legs with it to physically contact and kick away Logia users such as Marine Admirals Kizaru and Aokiji.[29][30] He, alongside Vista, used this type of Haki against Admiral Akainu, although it had zero effect on him.[46]

    Observation Haki Marco can use Observation Haki.[5] During the Raid on Onigashima, he was able to sense when Luffy's Devil Fruit Awakening occurred.[47]

    Advertisement History Past Marco was born on the Grand Line 45 years ago.[5] At some point during his youth, he joined the Whitebeard Pirates as an apprentice,[4] and also ate the Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix.

    Adventures With Kouzuki Oden Marco 30 years ago Marco 30 years ago

    Thirty years ago, a 15-year-old Marco was seen among his crewmates when they arrived for the first time in Wano Country, after shipwrecking. Before getting to look for civilization for supplies, they encountered Kouzuki Oden, who asked Newgate to let him join their crew after a brief clash.[48]

    The Whitebeard Pirates later had a feast with Oden and his retainers. Marco told Inuarashi and Nekomamushi of how vast the world is. Two weeks later, the Whitebeard Pirates tried to leave Wano without Oden. As they were leaving, the crew was surprised when Oden wrapped a chain around the Moby Dick's mast to get dragged with the ship. As Oden held onto the chain, Izou was also holding on to Oden and got dragged with him. Marco prepared to unwrap the chain, but Whitebeard ordered him to leave it be and pull Izou up to the Moby Dick. Oden then accepted Whitebeard's challenge of holding onto the chain for three days before he could be accepted into the crew. For the next three days, the crew watched how Oden withstood his ordeal. When Oden had an hour left to complete the challenge, Marco started cheering for him. After Oden was accepted into the crew, the Whitebeard Pirates had adventures with him as well as Toki, whom Oden helped, and Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, who had stowed away on the Moby Dick.[49]

    Sometime later, Marco noticed how close Oden had gotten with Toki. Two years after Oden joined, the crew celebrated the birth of Oden and Toki's son, Kouzuki Momonosuke. Around two years later, after the birth of Oden and Toki's daughter, Kouzuki Hiyori, the Whitebeard Pirates arrived at an island and noticed a commotion that frightened the animals there.[50] The crew then clashed with the Roger Pirates present there for three days and nights before the skirmish ultimately became a gift exchange. Afterwards, the Whitebeard Pirates parted ways with Oden and his family.[51]

    The Whitebeard Pirates learned about Oden's death several years after it happened. However, they did not march into Wano to take revenge against Kaido and Orochi, knowing how powerful Kaido is.[52]

    Advertisement Meeting with Shiki Twenty-two years ago, Marco was present on Whitebeard's ship when Shiki visited the great pirate to inform him of his plans. At this point, he had already become one of Whitebeard's commanders.[53] Marco was also present on Fish-Man Island when Whitebeard claimed the island as his territory.[54]

    Marco tells Ace to make a decision. Marco tells Ace to make a decision.

    During the first few days that Portgas D. Ace came to spend on Whitebeard's ship, Marco tried to befriend him. Marco explained to Ace the kind of fatherly relationship Whitebeard had with his crew members. In fact, it was Marco who told Ace to leave the ship and start from scratch again or bear Whitebeard's mark as one of his sons.[17]

    At some point, Ace talked with Whitebeard about going to war with Kaidou to liberate Wano Country, but Whitebeard never agreed to this request. Marco stated that he would join Ace if Whitebeard gave his approval.[52] At another point, three and a half years before the current storyline, Ace defeated the Warlord of the Sea Hanafuda, causing him to be removed from his position. Six months later, Marco, alongside Ace, Whitebeard, Teach, and Jinbe, learned that Bartholomew Kuma had been chosen as the new Warlord.[55]

    Thatch's Murder After the murder of Thatch at the hands of Marshall D. Teach, Ace decided to search for Blackbeard and make him pay for what he did. However, Whitebeard, who was feeling uneasy, told Ace not to go, something that Ace did not want to hear. Marco was one of the crew members who protested Ace leaving the ship and going after Teach, but this was in vain.[56]

    Sky Island Saga Jaya Arc Marco was aboard Whitebeard's ship when Rockstar delivered a letter from Shanks. Rockstar boasted about his own notoriety, but Marco claimed to have never heard of him.[1]

    Advertisement Water 7 Saga Post-Enies Lobby Arc When Shanks came to visit Whitebeard personally, Marco and Jozu warned the younger and weaker crew members to stay back due to Shanks's overwhelming presence. He also told the members still standing afterward not to worry about their fallen comrades as they were just unconscious. Marco scolded Shanks for what he did to his subordinates, and Shanks recognized him as the 1st division commander and asked him if he would like to join the Red Hair Pirates, which Marco refused.[2]

    Summit War Saga Marineford Arc Marco battles Kizaru. Marco battles Kizaru.

    Marco showed up at Marineford with the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates and their subordinate crews from the New World. He stated that, including him, all of the Whitebeard Pirates were ready to battle anyone who had dared to lay a single finger on Ace. Later, when Kizaru tried to attack Whitebeard with an array of laser beams, Marco nullified the attack with his powerful Devil Fruit transformation. He then proceeded to assault Kizaru, successfully kicking him a great distance to the ground, though the admiral did not appear seriously injured by the act.[29]

    Sometime thereafter, Marco saw Monkey D. Luffy and his Impel Down team falling from the sky and came to the realization that Ace's brother, whom Ace had always talked about, had arrived. When he witnessed Luffy stopping Crocodile's attempt to kill Whitebeard on the grounds of Whitebeard being important to Ace, Marco concluded that, "Ace's little brother is not too shabby after all".[21] Just after Luffy had dashed off after informing Whitebeard that Ace would be executed ahead of schedule, Marco returned to the Moby Dick to report the same news. Whitebeard, after seeing some of Luffy's resolve to save Ace, told Marco that he would not forgive him if he were to let Luffy die, to which Marco (who appeared to have developed a similar opinion and liking towards Luffy) smiled and replied, "Roger."

    Later, after Whitebeard manipulated Buggy into joining his cause temporarily, Marco remarked at how simple-minded Buggy was.[57] When he witnessed Luffy being attacked by Dracule Mihawk, he called out to 5th division commander Vista to go and help him out.[58] Afterwards, Marco found it odd when Squard appeared next to Whitebeard and was shocked when Whitebeard was stabbed by him.[59][60] He was the first one to reach the Moby Dick and to incapacitate Squard, but he was repelled by Squard's sword when Squard told Marco it was also his fault that he had been forced to attack Whitebeard.

    Marco kicks Aokiji to save Luffy. Marco kicks Aokiji to save Luffy.

    After Crocodile yelled at Whitebeard for being weak, Marco commented on how Whitebeard's health was getting worse, since Whitebeard should have been able to stop any attack aimed at him, even if he was caught off-guard.[19] After the whole ordeal was sorted out, he saw Squard crying and deeply regretting his actions, and suggested to him that he should redeem himself.[61] Thereafter, Marco's expression was solemn when he witnessed the Moby Dick being destroyed by Akainu's meteoric magma attack.[62] Later, as Ace was about to be executed, Marco was prepared to swoop in and save him, but noted that he was not needed after Crocodile saved Ace first. After Luffy was heavily injured by the admirals and was about to be finished off by Aokiji, Marco arrived and kicked Aokiji away a great distance.[30]

    Garp sends Marco crashing down. Garp sends Marco crashing down.

    Eventually, with (seemingly) only two Marines watching over Ace, Marco flew towards the execution platform telling Ace that he would soon save him. As he got closer, however, Monkey D. Garp intercepted him with a punch that sent him crashing to the ground. Marco, now in human form, looked up, frustrated and with a bruise on the left side of his chin.[63]

    Kizaru pierces a distracted Marco. Kizaru pierces a distracted Marco.

    In the midst of battling Akainu suddenly seized Whitebeard's chest and Marco, in horror, realized what was happening just as Whitebeard coughed up a massive amount of blood. Marco thought to himself that this was what he was most afraid might happen and rushed towards his captain. However, he did not get very far before Kizaru shot him from behind with two simultaneous lasers, which clearly caused Marco pain, as he was in his human form.[41] Enduring the pain, Marco activated his regenerative powers and continued to run towards Whitebeard, only to have Onigumo seize him and place Seastone handcuffs on his right arm. Kizaru then took the opportunity to shoot Marco with yet two more laser bursts. Badly injured and unable to regenerate, Marco fell.[42]

    Later on, after Luffy unconsciously used his Supreme King Haki, the bloodied Marco showed surprise. By the time Squard entered the battlefield with the paddle boat Little Oars Jr. brought into the plaza, stating that Whitebeard and his subordinate crews should grab Ace and leave the enemy to him, Marco was back on his feet. He commented angrily on Squard's foolish way of redeeming himself and quickly ordered a nearby crewmate to remove his cuffs.[43]

    After Whitebeard declared that he would part ways with his sons and stay behind, Marco hesitated, reluctant, as a nearby crewmate urged him to go. Soon after, Marco was shocked by the sight of Ace taking Akainu's molten rock punch through the chest.[64] Then when Akainu tried to strike Ace a second time and finish him off, he was stopped by Jinbe; Marco saw this and, desperate now, ordered Galdino, who was dragged over to him, to remove his handcuffs immediately.

    Marco and Vista attack Akainu Marco and Vista attack Akainu

    Akainu turned to launch another attack on Jinbe, and much to his annoyance was repelled by a simultaneous assault from Marco and Vista, who used Haki to drive the admiral away from the injured Jinbe, Ace, and Luffy. Marco, deep in regret, wondered how they could have allowed all this to happen. As Ace spoke his last words to Luffy, Marco joined the battle in order to keep the Marine forces away from Ace[31] and was seen crying after Ace had fallen dead.

    Determined to finish off Luffy, who was incapacitated from shock caused by his grief and anguish, Akainu attacked once again; this time he was again intercepted by Marco alone, who shouted that Akainu would not touch Luffy. He ordered Jinbe to take Luffy and go. As Luffy was all that remained of Ace's will, Marco declared that they would protect him without fail, in place of Ace; if he too were to die, the Whitebeard Pirates would be put to shame.[32]

    When Whitebeard and Blackbeard confronted one another, Marco tried to fly to the other side of the giant crevice separating them to assist his captain, but was commanded to stay back by his captain, who said that he would kill Blackbeard as revenge for killing Thatch. When, consequently, Whitebeard was brutally killed by the Blackbeard Pirates ganging up on him, Marco mourned Whitebeard's death as Whitebeard left the crew under his care.[65]

    Marco then witnessed Blackbeard revealing himself to have stolen, somehow, the power of the Gura Gura no Mi from the dead Whitebeard, much to the commander's shock. Marco explained to a fellow crewmate that Blackbeard was no ordinary person, reasoning that Blackbeard's atypical body may have allowed him the aforementioned feat.[66] Marco then joined his fellow crewmates, with some unlikely help from Crocodile, as they prepared to face off against Akainu to defend Luffy and carry him on to the next era.[67] When Koby yelled for all the combatants to stop, Marco wondered why a Marine was trying to stop the fight.[68]

    Right after Shanks arrived at Marineford to stop the war, Marco was told by Shanks to withdraw peacefully from Marineford and avoid prolonging the battle any longer. Marco complied and later grieved with his crewmates over their losses.[26]

    During the Timeskip Marco vs. Blackbeard. Marco vs. Blackbeard.

    One year after the war at Marineford, the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates, under Marco's guidance, fought against the Blackbeard Pirates in the "Payback War" in order to route an invading force, but suffered an overwhelming defeat.[23] Publicly, they are believed to have initiated the war to avenge their fallen comrades. They went into hiding and have not been seen since, which was what led Blackbeard to be officially recognized as Whitebeard's replacement among the Four Emperors.[13]

    Wano Country Saga Wano Country Arc After the Payback War, Marco went to Whitebeard's home village on Sphinx and started working there as a doctor. Eventually, Nekomamushi came there to find and try to recruit Marco into the alliance formed to take down Kaidou in Wano Country. In conversation with the mink, Marco mentioned Whitebeard's history with said village, as well as how he had heard about Edward Weevil attacking those connected to Whitebeard in search of a "fortune" that Marco noted did not exist. Because of the possibility that, in coming after him, Weevil would attack Sphinx as well, Marco voiced his decision to remain there to protect the village. Nonetheless, he asked Nekomamushi to pass on a message to Luffy:[23] that he would still come to Wano, only late.[69]

    Marco prevents the Big Mom Pirates from getting on Wano. Marco prevents the Big Mom Pirates from getting on Wano.

    Days later in a surprising turn of events, Marco, who had decided to participate in the Raid on Onigashima after all, made his way to Wano at the same time as Nekomamushi and Izou (the latter of whom Marco knew the whereabouts of, hence them having made a pitstop to collect the samurai); this made Marco's message to Luffy unnecessary.[69][70] During the Big Mom Pirates' second attempt at entering the country, Marco flew to their ship and, as it finished climbing the waterfall, knocked it back down using Hoo-in.[71] After Nekomamushi's ship had succeeded in going up the waterfall, Marco and the Guardians proceeded to Onigashima.[69] Once they reached the rear side of the island, a flying Marco dropped off Nekomamushi and Izou, and they encountered some of the Nine Red Scabbards (including Izou's sister Kikunojo) alongside Trafalgar Law. As they rejoiced in their reunion, Marco said he would investigate a "strange shadow" he had spotted at sea earlier.[70]

    Marco clashes with Big Mom. Marco clashes with Big Mom.

    He subsequently happened across Charlotte Perospero,[72] who proposed that they work together given their mutual goal of bringing down Kaidou,[73] and together they arrived at Onigashima's entrance.[74] Eventually, the two encountered Big Mom, and Perospero bent to her will of upholding her alliance with Kaidou, with Marco noting that this spelt the end of their cooperation. When Big Mom asked why someone of Marco's status was helping some "brats", saying that the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates had lost their way, Marco simply asserted that, with Whitebeard's death, they were no longer bound to his will but left free to do as they pleased.[28] Marco then clashed against Big Mom, his phoenix flames proving capable of overpowering those of Prometheus. Big Mom grabbed Marco by the neck and ordered Perospero to kill him. However, before Perospero could fire his candy bow and arrow at him, he was attacked by the Sulong-transformed Wanda and Carrot, who recognized Marco as Nekomamushi's ally. Big Mom abruptly decided to call off her fight with Marco and headed back to Kaidou's castle, with Wanda telling Marco to go after her. Marco then noticed a nearby commotion.[33]

    Afterwards, Marco reached the Live Floor within the Skull Dome and offered to lend his assistance to the Straw Hats there.[75] Proceeding to envelop the Ice Oni-infected Chopper with his flames to defrost him, Marco then started flying over and spreading his flames to all the infected present in the banquet hall, in order to slow the virus' freezing effects in those afflicted by raising their body heat. Once he had done so, Marco offered Zoro and the other Straw Hats present to fly them to the Skull Dome's roof.[45] As the Beasts Pirates attacked Marco, he told Brook and Robin to run into the castle. He then transformed into a phoenix and began carrying Zoro toward the roof. However, the All-Stars King and Queen made an attempt to stop their advancement upward, with Queen shooting at Marco.[76] Despite the All-Stars' efforts, however, Marco managed to hold them back with his phoenix wings and successfully threw Zoro up to the roof through the hole in it.[34]

    Marco fighting King. Marco fighting King.

    Marco then began fighting King and, while being assaulted by him, heard Sanji's cry for help broadcasted throughout Onigashima, which he was amused by.[35] Sometime after, Marco intercepted Queen's attempt at hitting Hyougoro with a laser shot from his mouth, striking and injuring the All-Star with Hoo-in. Marco reminded Queen that, since they were fighting, Queen ought to not even think of about the samurai until he had finished Marco off. Marco then flew toward Queen, dodging another laser, as King suddenly jumped in and cut off Marco's left phoenix wing. Marco, unfazed, simply reshaped the wing's feathery remains into a large fireball that, as his Bluebird attack, he sent toward King, sending him violently crashing into a nearby building. Before King could properly guard himself, Marco followed up with a flying knee strike, causing an explosion where King had landed. As Queen angrily approached, he was suddenly hit by yet another attack from Marco, Ongle: a taloned kick that sent him flying as well. Marco noted how holding off two men with bounties over a billion was difficult, telling Chopper to hurry up.[36]

    After Chopper had successfully created a counter-virus neutralizing Queen's Ice Oni, and an enraged Queen was distracted by his subordinates turning on him for his treating them expendable, Marco took the chance to grab hold of Queen's neck, restraining him to allow Chopper to slap Queen in his Monster Point form. As Chopper exclaimed that he was not a "tanuki", Marco inwardly apologized for having called him such,[77] before he and Chopper continued engaging Queen.[40] A little thereafter, Marco reacted with concern about the broadcasted announcement that Luffy, the highest bounty head on the alliance's side, had been defeated by Kaidou.[78] When Sanji arrived in time to save Chopper from Queen, declaring how not all hope was lost, Marco commented how this was why he liked their crew.[79]

    A while later, Marco was seen sitting still on the ground, having seemingly reached the limit of his stamina. This gave King and Queen the opportunity to wipe out significant portions of the enemy alliance without distraction, including the turncoat Beasts Pirates. When King confronted a bandaged-up Zoro, who was being carried away by samurai, the All-Star tried attacking him with a flaming punch, but just then Marco flew in to block it with his Fujiazami technique. Marco remarked that he had long ago heard about a certain race living atop the Red Line that could burst into flames, which King left uncommented. As King and Queen then prepared to attack Marco and take him out for good, Marco stated with a smile that he had done his part and would now allow the star players to take the stage; right then, a recovered Zoro and Sanji jumped in, launching an attack on King and Queen respectively.[80]

    After Zoro and Sanji's attack, Marco watched King and Queen rise back up. Intrigued, he remembered something once told him by Whitebeard: about how long before Mary Geoise existed, there had been a land of gods on top of the Red Line. While absorbed in these thoughts, some Beasts Pirates shot at him. Izou arrived in time, grabbed hold of Marco to dodge the gunfire, and then ran away with Marco under his arm. Marco jokingly noted how had waited to be saved by him, then asked Izou if he believed in gods, prompting Izou to say that Marco was sounding just like a drunk Whitebeard.[81] A while later, Marco and Izou were still on the Live Stage, reacting shocked at the sight of Queen separating his brachiosaurus neck and tail from the rest of his body to attack Sanji.[82][83]

    Afterwards, Marco in his full phoenix form began carrying Izou over the Live Stage and towards Kaidou's burning castle, where they had heard was some kind of large fire apparition.[84] Sometime later, Marco was seen again in the bath of the Skull Dome's Forehead Floor, having met up with Nami and having just finished healing the two beasts Komachiyo and Hihimaru for Tama. Marco remarked that it was important for them to keep their wits about them with how fast things were developing, stating that as of that moment, Onigashima was the most dangerous island in the world.[85] It was soon thereafter that Kaidou came back down from the Skull Dome's rooftop, declaring his victory over Luffy. When the Emperor attempted to hit Nami with his Bolo Breath, Marco jumped in using Fujiazami to shield her from the attack, at the same time declaring to his comrades that they ought not to lose their composure so long as not everything was over.[86]

    Sure enough, Marco was afterwards among the few people on the Live Floor that sensed how Luffy was still conscious, telling Nami and Tama as much.[47] Luffy then resumed his battle with Kaidou, during which Marco witnessed Luffy's giant head.[87] Not long after, the Straw Hat successfully defeated Kaidou, an event that coincided with the island of Onigashima finally landing after Kaidou had made it float all the way next to the Flower Capital. Marco was seen standing near Nami and Tama, watching them celebrate their alliance's victory against the Beasts Pirates with a smile on his face.[88]

    A week following the raid on Onigashima, Marco was seen at the Northern Cemetery of Ringo with Kin'emon, Kawamatsu, and Onimaru. When Kin'emon asked Marco if he was fine with Izou, who had lost his life in the raid, being buried in Ringo, Marco responded that it was only right for Izou to have his home country become his final resting place. Marco solemnly commented that he was once again left with one of his comrades dead, with Kin'emon and Kawamatsu noting that they knew the feeling.[89] Before he departed Wano, he visited Luffy, Jinbe, Zoro and Sanji who were in a discussion with Yamato, and bid them farewell since he was leaving with the Red Hair Pirates. After receiving thanks from Luffy, Marco told them that they would now carry the new age on their shoulder.[90]

While he was grateful for Weevil's help, Buckin could tell from Marco's tone he was still doubtful that the former warlord was Whitebeard's biological son so she told him she knew someone who could prove it: Dr. Vegapunk.[92] Later as he listened to Vegapunk's worldwide broadcast, Marco recalled what Whitebeard said about the Lunarians and the Red Line when the scientist mentioned rare races that were persecuted.[93]

Even when standing in a hunched position, he is roughly twice Crocodile's height. He has a long face with black stripe-like patterns for a beard and hairstyle. His legs are relatively thin in comparison to his muscular arms. He appears battle-hardened and has a perpetual scowl on his face. The dark armor he wears and his hair style are very similar to that of an Aztec warrior, with red-bolted dark shoulder pads (the bolts were later changed to gray). On his chest he has a green cuirass, whose front and back portions are connected by metal straps that go over both his collarbones. The cuirass' color was later changed to a rusty red color. Around his waist there is a big, elaborated golden belt, worn over what looks like a green skirt similar to the ones worn by Aztecs, with golden decorations near the edge. He also wears what look like studded, black and gold large-buckled shoes or boots and matching black studded pants. During the Summit War of Marineford, he lost his right arm when Aokiji froze him and the arm broke off.[9]

    Twenty two years ago, Jozu wore a black tanktop and a red sash instead of armor and had a much thinner neck, but otherwise looked the same as he is today. In the past, when Whitebeard declared Fish-Man Island his territory, Jozu is seen wearing a different tanktop design.

    When Jozu was a child, he was rather round and chubby. He had stubby little legs, and and sported large black overalls, with round buttons. His hair was still in balls on top of his head, but he had less of it.

Personality Jozu is a gruff, fairly quiet individual who tends to point out information to his crewmates. He has been shown as unrelenting to his enemies as he had no qualms in attempting to strike Crocodile a second time immediately after a first hit. He is loyal to Whitebeard and his crew, having protected them in at least three instances. However, this loyalty can be taken advantage of, as Aokiji freezes him the moment he was distracted by Marco being injured by Kizaru.[10]

    When he was young, he showed a playful side when he noticed Oden and Toki together.[11]

    Advertisement Abilities and Powers As 3rd division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Jozu held authority over all crew members ranked lower than commander. An experienced veteran, he has been part of the Whitebeard Pirates for at least three decades, from the times of Gold Roger.[12] Combat-wise, Jozu was one of the most formidable, esteemed men of his crew, able to fight and hold his own against Warlords of the Sea and Marine admirals alike.[13][14] The very division he led specialized in combat, acting as a vanguard to the rest of the crew.[3]

    Jozu is also shown to be strong-willed, remaining unfazed by a powerful Supreme King Haki blast released by the Emperor Shanks.[15]

    Physical Abilities Jozu hurling a gigantic ice chunk at a . Jozu hurling a gigantic ice chunk at a squad of giants.

    Jozu has vastly superhuman brawn, with his arm, grip, and lifting strength demonstrated when he tore a massive chunk out of a thick, sea-covering ice sheet—akin to an iceberg several hundred times his own size, dwarfing even giants—picked it up and hurled it back over his head a significant distance.[16]

    Belied by his massive frame, Jozu's speed and agility are incredible as well, on par with his brute strength. While still a poverty-stricken, rotund child trying to make a living in the streets, Jozu's quickness and dexterity allowed him to survive through petty theft, evading all pursuers and never once getting caught.[3] In the present day his speed, coupled with his strength and Haki, makes Jozu (especially when in diamond mode) particularly dangerous against Logia users used to letting blows pass through them harmlessly and reform; when he tackled Crocodile, the former Warlord commented on both the great speed and force of the attack that had hit and left him little time to recover.[13][14] A powerful hand-to-hand combatant, Jozu has a penchant for wrestling-style moves such as tackles and suplexes.[3]

    Jozu further has great endurance, shown when he took, point-blank while not in diamond mode, a sandstorm released by Crocodile (though one more meant to get him and Doflamingo out of Crocodile's way rather than as an actual attack) and emerged unscathed despite being positioned at the eye of the storm.[17] Later, Jozu was completely frozen solid by Aokiji, losing an arm in the process.[10] Though he was incapacitated, he survived the encounter with the admiral.[18]

    Devil Fruit Further information: Kira Kira no Mi Jozu with most of his body covered in diamond. Jozu with most of his body covered in diamond.

    Jozu ate the Kira Kira no Mi,[3] a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to transform any part of his body into diamond, earning him the nickname "Diamond Jozu".[4] With this power, Jozu used to serve as the "diamond shield" of his crew, protecting them from the front.[3] In the anime, Jozu is depicted using the Kira Kira no Mi 26 years ago in a battle with the Roger Pirates, indicating he ate the fruit at no older than 16.[19]

    While transformed, both Jozu's physical attack power and defensive might are significantly bolstered by his diamond body's unparalleled toughness (diamond being among the world's hardest substances, alongside Seastone).[3][13][14] A notable example of his diamond form's durability is that he was able to block the "strongest slash in the world" from the world's greatest swordsman, Dracule Mihawk, with no visible damage done to himself or even being pushed back much at all.[20]

    Advertisement Haki Further information: Haki Armament Haki Jozu proved himself a proficient Armament Haki user when he successfully attacked and harmed Logia users in two separate instances. He launched a devastating surprise attack against Crocodile that knocked him a great distance back[21] and later another against admiral Aokiji, which shattered his ice form and caused the admiral to bleed from the mouth.[22]

    Observation Haki Jozu possesses the ability to use Observation Haki.[3]

    History Past Jozu was born 42 years ago in the West Blue and grew up poor. He was forced to steal to survive and was never caught due to his agility.[3]

    Thirty years ago, A 12 year old Jozu was among the Whitebeard Pirates when they arrived for the first time at Wano Country. The crew was shipwrecked and before going to civilization to get supplies, they encountered Kouzuki Oden, who asked Whitebeard to let him join their crew after a brief clash.[23]

    The Whitebeard Pirates later had a feast with Oden and his retainers. Oden kept asking to join the crew, but he was turned down. Two weeks later, the Whitebeard Pirates tried to leave Wano without Oden. As they were leaving, the crew was surprised when Oden wrapped a chain around the Moby Dick's mast and got dragged with the ship. As Oden held onto the chain, Izou was also holding on to Oden and got dragged with him. After Izou was pulled up onboard, Oden accepted Whitebeard's challenge of holding onto the chain for three days before he could be accepted into the crew. For the next three days, the crew watched how Oden withstood his ordeal. When Oden had an hour left to complete the challenge, the crew started cheering for him. After Oden was accepted into the crew, the Whitebeard Pirates had adventures with him as well as Toki, whom Oden helped, and Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, who had stowed away on the Moby Dick.[24]

    Four years after Oden joined, the Whitebeard Pirates arrived at an island and noticed a commotion that frightened even the animals.[25] The crew then clashed with the Roger Pirates for three days and three nights before the skirmish ultimately became a gift exchange. Afterwards, the Whitebeard Pirates parted ways with Oden and his family.[26]

    Twenty-two years ago Jozu was aboard Whitebeard's ship when Shiki visited after escaping from Impel Down, two years after Gol D. Roger's execution.[27]

    Jozu was present when Whitebeard declared Fish-Man Island his territory.[28]

    After the murder of Thatch at the hands of Marshall D. Teach, Portgas D. Ace decided to search for Blackbeard and make him pay for what he did. However, Whitebeard, who was feeling uneasy, told Ace not to go, something that Ace did not want to hear. Jozu was one of the crew members who protested to Ace leaving the ship and going after Teach, but this was in vain.

    Advertisement Sky Island Saga Jaya Arc Jozu watched as Rockstar delivered a letter from Shanks to Whitebeard.[1]

    Water 7 Saga Post-Enies Lobby Arc Like Marco, Jozu displayed a knowledge of what would happen when Shanks boarded their ship and commented on how Shanks' spirit was as strong as ever.[29]

    Summit War Saga Marineford Arc Jozu showed up at Marineford with the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates and their subordinate crews from the New World, in order to save Ace from execution. Including him and Marco, all the division commanders were ready to battle. When Dracule Mihawk, the greatest swordsman in the world, sent the strongest slash in the world towards the Moby Dick and Whitebeard, Jozu intercepted the attack, and was able to effectively stop it in its tracks by becoming diamond.[20] Shortly afterwards, he destroyed a section of ice, picked up an enormous iceberg, and hurled it at the Marineford giants, but this was in turn nullified by Admiral Akainu's magma Devil Fruit powers.[30] However, this failed assault proved to be indirectly useful shortly afterwards, when Monkey D. Luffy and the Impel Down prisoners arrived and were able to land safely in the water instead of the ice.[31]

    Jozu hits Crocodile. Jozu hits Crocodile.

    He then launched a surprise assault at Crocodile after the latter's attempt to kill Whitebeard, and landed a devastating hit. Moments before he was able to land a second blow on Crocodile, Donquixote Doflamingo, who had jumped on Jozu's back, stopped him in his tracks with his strings, and asked Crocodile if the two could team up.[13] Crocodile refused and sent both Jozu and Doflamingo (along with several Marines and pirates, Buggy included) flying with a massive sandstorm.[17]

    Jozu was shocked when Squard stabbed Whitebeard.[32] After the Marines raised the Encircling Wall and destroyed the Mody Dick, Whitebeard ordered Jozu to ready their second ship.[33] Once the coated paddle ship surfaced, Jozu and the other pirates climbed aboard and rode it as Little Oars Jr. lifted it through the opening of the Encircling Wall and into the plaza.[34]

    Jozu completely frozen by Aokiji. Jozu completely frozen by Aokiji.

    When Admiral Aokiji attempted to halt Whitebeard's advance, Jozu intervened in the battle and smashed Aokiji into pieces, telling his captain to press on. As Aokiji reformed, all the while bleeding from the mouth, he murmured Jozu's epithet, and the two resumed their fight.[14] When Jozu witnessed Marco getting struck by Kizaru's lasers, he called out Marco's name; Aokiji then took advantage of Jozu's distraction and froze over his arm.[10] Soon afterward, he was entirely frozen and fell to the ground, with his right arm breaking into pieces.[9]

    Sometime after Ace had been freed, Jozu's comrades attempted to evacuate the frozen man, but when he proved too heavy, they called over Blenheim,[35] who tied Jozu to his back and carried him to safety.[36] He was eventually thawed out.[18]

    During the Timeskip One year after the war at Marineford, the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates fought against the Blackbeard Pirates but ultimately lost. They went into hiding and have not been seen since their defeat.[37][38]

    After the correction, Jozu was shown wearing a green cuirass that had red bolts on its shoulder pads. In Opening 13, however, the color scheme had been changed: his cuirass is red, and the bolts are gray.

    Marineford Arc In the manga, Jozu blocked the attack from Mihawk with his body. In the anime he was forced back and then deflected it into the sky.

    In the anime, he was seen smirking when he blocked Mihawk's strike and after he hurled the iceberg. In the manga, he did not smirk or smile and kept his usual serious demeaner.

    The video player is currently playing an ad.

He also had a stitched scar running down his face, around his left eye, reminiscent that of Garp. Thatch often dressed in a posh uniform, with calf-long pants and a black belt around his waist, and brown shoes.

    Initially in the anime, he was given blonde hair spiking out rather than being arranged in a pompadour and his goatee was black. He wore a white foulard, a blue shirt, and gray pants with a sword on his right hip. Later in the anime, he was given a different color scheme. His hair was changed to orange brown, his foulard became yellow, and his entire uniform changed to a much lighter blue, with his shirt and pants the same color.[1]

Personality Jovial and affable, Thatch appeared to be one of the friendlier and more sociable commanders of Whitebeard's crew, being the first to interact with Ace after they captured him and the rest of the Spade Pirates.[6] He was a moral person, as he would scold Teach for starting fights or "joking" about the prospect of killing a comrade for a Devil Fruit. He also may have had a confident side, having chosen not to devour the Yami Yami no Mi after retrieving it from a raid, as according to the Whitebeard Pirates, the finder of the Devil Fruit has the right to consume it. However, this turned out to be a fatal mistake, as Teach took advantage of it and murdered Thatch for that very fruit.[1]

    Relationships

    Advertisement Portgas D. Ace Thatch was the first to have a relationship with Ace when he was taken aboard the Moby Dick,[6] going on many adventures together. After learning of Thatch's death, Ace went to hunt down Blackbeard to avenge his friend.[7][8]

    Marshall D. Teach Thatch seemed to have a good relationship with Teach as partners; however, when the latter did something wrong, like starting a fight or making a joke of killing a partner for a Devil Fruit, Thatch would often yell at him. Despite this, Thatch did not think of Teach as being a bad person.[9]

    However, their relationship would come to a tragic end when Teach murdered Thatch to steal the Yami Yami no Mi.[1]

    Abilities and Powers Having been a division commander, he had authority over a vast number of subordinates. He was also recognized as one of the strongest pirates on board. His strength was also praised by Ace after seeing him fight the Raccoon crew.[9] In the anime, it can be seen that Teach had to resort to a surprise attack to kill him.

    Culinary Expertise As the head chef of his crew, Thatch was shown to be a master chef, being in charge of his crew's kitchen, his culinary skill is irreplaceable for his aging captain by providing high nutrition meals for Whitebeard to maintain his health. Following Thatch's murder, his crew was unable to cook meals of the same quality, and Whitebeard's health started to deteriorate faster as a result.[2]

    Weapons Thatch carried a three-foot-long kitchen knife on his right hip and was skilled at using it like a commander. However, Vista was superior to him as a swordsman.

    In the anime, Thatch is seen carrying a sword on his right hip. He was also shown dual-wielding swords and was capable of fighting the Decalvan Brothers, although he was struggling a bit.[10]

    History

    Advertisement Biography Thatch was born in the North Blue,[3] and at some point joined the Whitebeard Pirates, becoming the commander of the 4th Division and the head chef of the crew.

    Approximately two years before the narrative begins, Thatch entered Whitebeard's room to remind him to take the medicine, otherwise the doctor would reprimand him, and to inform him of Jinbe's impending departure. The emperor complimented him on the sea snake soup he had cooked. The two then went on deck, where Whitebeard complained to the fish-man that he was leaving the ship to go to Marineford without saying goodbye, then showed him the newspaper and asked if he knew Ace. Jinbe claimed to have heard of him and how notorious he is becoming; There Thatch asked him to keep them informed if he found out more about Ace to which Jinbe agreed.

    The New Comrade Thatch was one of the first to try befriending Ace when he had arrived on the ship. Ace responded cynically, and questioned why he is not being held with shackles while on board the Moby Dick. Thatch merely gave an amused look, as though he believed that was unnecessary.[6] Whitebeard later told Thatch and Teach to watch over Ace.[11]

    One day, Thatch saw Teach and Ace argue so he split them up. Before leaving, Teach continued to ask Ace about his Devil Fruit but once again receiving no answer, he left angry. Thatch said that Teach was not evil at heart, or at least he believed that he was not.

    Ace, Thatch, and Teach later fought a pirate named Raccoon for taking food in Whitebeard's territory without paying, and they quickly defeated him. When they were going to deliver him to a bounty hunter, Raccoon shot Teach. In response, Teach stomped on him with no mercy.

    Shortly after they went to a bar, Ace asked Thatch which pirate in their crew had scarred Shanks, but Thatch did not know anything about it. Ace then asked Teach, who said he did it, which surprised them both, but then Teach said it was just a joke. Thatch said that he was envious of Ace's Mera Mera no Mi since he was a cook. Teach advised him to kill Ace, but Thatch told him not to joke about such things since he would never kill a comrade. Ace asked Teach what kind of fruit he would like, but before Teach could answer, Thatch suggested that it was the Suke Suke no Mi. Teach laughed that he was right, and Thatch went on to say that it was every man's dream. Some girls then came over to their table and gave them flowers as thanks for defeating Raccoon. While Teach and Ace talked, Thatch told the girls that such talk did not interest them. After thanking them for the flowers, he asked if they wanted to marry him in twenty years but then corrected himself by saying ten. The girls immediately rejected the offer and left.[9]

    Thatch later found the Yami Yami no Mi, the Devil Fruit that Blackbeard was after for a long time. This Devil Fruit was the very reason that Blackbeard joined the Whitebeard Pirates. Because of the rule on Whitebeard's ship is that the one who finds a Devil Fruit may eat it, Teach murdered Thatch and ran off with it,[1] leaving his former commander, Portgas D. Ace, to hunt him down for revenge.[7]

    Legacy However, when Ace failed and was captured and ultimately executed, the quest for revenge also ended in failure.[12][13] Whitebeard himself attempted to get revenge in place of Ace, but he was killed collectively by the Blackbeard Pirates.[14]

    A year after the Summit War of Marineford, the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates—led by Marco—clashed with the Blackbeard Pirates in part to avenge Thatch,[15] but were defeated, leading to the dissolution of the Whitebeard Pirates.[16]

He has also been stated to be the strongest swordsman of the Whitebeard Pirates, as the very division he led specialized in swordsmanship, acting as one of the most combative divisions for the crew.[3] He is a very experienced veteran, as he was shown as a member of the Whitebeard Pirates from the times of Gol D.

    In the anime, some of his attacks generate red flower petals (in a similar way pink flower petals materialize whenever Nico Robin uses her abilities), which befits his epithet "Flower Sword"; also in the anime, Vista has so far only produced rose petals, but mentioned that he could produce other types of flower petals as well. Whether this means he is a Devil Fruit user has yet to be determined.
