   The Worst Generation are a collection of twelve infamous pirates who emerged immediately before the beginning of the Summit War of Marineford. They consist of the eleven super rookies who were present at the Sabaody Archipelago just before said war, and the then-Warlord Blackbeard, who soon became one of the Four Emperors.[2] They are notorious for the bold actions they committed against the World Government,[1] and have played a large role in the world's biggest conflicts since the Summit War, causing them to be regarded as "problem children" who have been key players in the New Age of the Great Pirate Era.[2]

   Advertisement Overview The Supernovas as described by . The Supernovas as described by Shakky.

   Before they became known as the "Worst Generation," the eleven Supernovas were the top rookie pirates from nine different crews who all chose one of the seven routes along the Grand Line. They are made up of captains of said crews, as well as two other crewmates, whose bounties are all above the threshold of Beli100,000,000. Each of them comes from one of all five seas—the East Blue, West Blue, South Blue, North Blue, the Grand Line itself, and even the White Sea. A common trait they all possess is that they have caught the attention of the World Government and have survived many ordeals that have wiped out most other pirate crews during their voyage in the Grand Line. Though they are all on par with each other as far as threat level is concerned, they represent different views on piracy.

   With the exception of the Straw Hat Pirates, most Supernovas attempted to avoid the paths of the World Nobles. Coincidentally, all the Supernovas arrived on the Sabaody Archipelago at the same time, which caused a series of issues for the Marines. In addition, all of them, with the exception of the Straw Hat Pirates and the Heart Pirates, entered the New World almost simultaneously. Marshall D. Teach, on the other hand, was already in the New World by the time the rookies were making preparations.

   The Worst Generation is notable for posing the greatest threat to the balance of the Three Great Powers. Two of them, Monkey D. Luffy and Trafalgar D. Water Law, were responsible for the defeat of three Warlords of the Sea (two by Luffy alone and one through the captains' cooperation). Law and Teach have served as Warlords themselves. The Straw Hat Pirates have declared open war against the World Government (with Luffy in particular successfully invading, attacking, and escaping from all three of the World Government's main strongholds). All of them but Jewelry Bonney and Urouge have conspired against one or more of the Four Emperors. Eustass Kid, Scratchmen Apoo, and Basil Hawkins conspired against Shanks, which ultimately fell apart and failed. Luffy and Teach have usurped the positions of Emperors Kaidou and Whitebeard, respectively, while Law and Eustass Kid additionally defeated Big Mom; previously, Luffy and Capone Bege attempted and failed to assassinate Big Mom. Against the Marines, Luffy fought during the Summit War of Marineford, which featured all seven Warlords and all three Admirals, and was rescued by Law. During the Egghead Incident, Luffy and Bonney defeated a double-sized Buster Call featuring nine Marine Vice Admirals and Admiral Borsalino, as well as defeating Jaygarcia Saturn of the Five Elders.

   According to Shakuyaku, one of the Supernovas could potentially be responsible for inspiring a whole new generation of pirates,[1] a comment that is made true when it was revealed that Luffy inspired Bartolomeo to become an infamous pirate in his own right. According to Morgans, he firmly believes that one of the members of the Worst Generation will become the next Pirate King.[3]

   Of the twelve pirates, all but two (Zoro and Killer) are captains of their respective pirate crews, and only one (Zoro) is not a Devil Fruit user (Killer's fruit did not grant any powers, only robbed him of his ability to swim and express negative feelings). The relationship between the pirate captains usually depends on the situation they happen to find each other in. This can range from casual talk to starting a fight. It seems all members carry a certain level of respect for each other due to their shared status, even if they happen to be fighting for different sides. In fact, most of them have formed Pirate Alliances to achieve a common goal, although there have been several cases of confrontations among members as well.

   Several members of what would become the Worst Generation became famous before entering the Grand Line. The actions of Kid in the South Blue, Law in the North Blue, and Bege in the West Blue were well-known even in the Grand Line around five years ago.[41]

   In the case of Bege, he became extremely infamous as a mafia leader who brought down rival gangs by solely killing their leaders, and later moved on to do the same thing as a pirate.[42] Kid and his partner Killer became extremely infamous for the large numbers of civilian casualties they caused during their expeditions.[43] Bonney also achieved infamy for attacking children and elderly civilians, although that was likely attributed to general ignorance of her abilities.

   Law in particular joined the Donquixote Pirates when he was only 10, gaining prior experience as a result. After defecting from the crew, he would soon found the Heart Pirates. Drake too was part of a different pirate crew commanded by his father, Diez Barrels, but he was able to escape his influence and join the Marines at 19 years old. Drake later publicly defected from the organization to become a pirate, though in reality was operating undercover as the captain of the Secret Special Force SWORD.[44]

   East Blue Saga Two years ago, the young pirate from the East Blue, Monkey D. Luffy, began his own journey to find the One Piece and become the next Pirate King. The first person he recruited into his crew on his travels was Roronoa Zoro, the infamous bounty hunter who had his own dream to become the strongest swordsman in the world. After defeating Arlong and his crew, Luffy earned his first bounty and finally made a name for himself as a notorious pirate. Around this time, Jewelry Bonney also set out from the Sorbet Kingdom and attained a bounty and reputation of her own as well.

   At some point after that, Marshall D. Teach, who had been a longtime member of the Whitebeard Pirates, defected to form his own crew following his murder of his crewmate Thatch, prompting his former commander, Portgas D. Ace to go after him in revenge. At some point, he attacked Drum Island, ironically liberating it from its tyrannical ruler, Wapol.

   Arabasta and Sky Island Sagas Upon entering the Grand Line, Luffy and his crew came at odds with the criminal organization known as Baroque Works, who attempted to take over the Arabasta Kingdom. After defeating its leader and member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Crocodile, Luffy's bounty grew even higher than before, to a total of 100 million. Zoro also gained his first bounty for besting Crocodile's top henchman, Daz Bonez.

   The Straw Hat crew then reached Jaya, where they encountered Teach and his crew, though they didn't fight. After a scuffle with Bellamy, Teach inspired Luffy to continue chasing his dreams. However, upon learning of Luffy's new bounty, he then decided to capture Luffy and present him to the World Government in order to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but was stopped by the Knock Up Stream destroying his raft.

   Advertisement Water 7 Saga When the Straw Hats came to Water 7, they ended up fighting against CP9, who kidnapped their crewmate Nico Robin. After defeating them all and getting her back, all members of the crew had gained official bounties, with Luffy and Zoro's bounties increasing to well over 100 million, thus making them official Supernovas.

   Meanwhile, Ace finally catches up with Teach at Banaro Island and they duel it out, with Teach coming out as the victor. He then turned Ace in to the World Government and gained membership into the Seven Warlords.

   Summit War Saga Sabaody Archipelago Arc Luffy, Kid, and Law team up to fight the Marines. Luffy, Kid, and Law team up to fight the Marines.

   All of the Worst Generation's members (save for Teach) were present on the Sabaody Archipelago at the same time, and were noted by Shakuyaku for their distinction of being the only rookie pirates there with bounties over Beli100,000,000.[1] At first, they all did their best not to attract the attention of the Marines due to their Headquarters being so close to Sabaody, though Kid and Killer began brawling it out with Apoo and Urouge respectively. However, Luffy proceeded to unleash chaos by punching the World Noble Saint Charlos, causing Marine Admiral Kizaru and a large Marine platoon to be sent to retaliate.[45]

   Luffy, Law and Kid fought with the Marines outside the Human Auctioning House and then went their separate ways with their crews, promising to meet again in the New World. Afterwards, the Straw Hats fought and defeated a Pacifista, while Kid and Law fought together to defeat another one. Upon arriving, Kizaru encountered and battled Hawkins, Drake, Urouge, and Apoo, all of whom he defeated. Before he could capture or kill any of them, he was summoned to confront the Straw Hats.[46] Meanwhile, Bonney and Bege managed to defeat the Marines chasing them.

   Kizaru was able to easily best the Straw Hat Pirates, but was intercepted by Gold Roger's first mate, Silvers Rayleigh before he could end them. Then the Warlord Bartholomew Kuma unexpectedly arrives and transports each of the Straw Hats off the island, including Luffy and Zoro.[47] The other Supernovas managed to shake off the Marines and escape from Sabaody.

   Impel Down Arc With help from the Warlord, Boa Hancock, Luffy broke into the great prison of Impel Down to rescue his brother, Ace, from execution. Luffy's break-in caused great chaos, which enabled the Warlord, Blackbeard to invade the prison with his crew to recruit prisoners from the most dangerous level, Level 6, as part of his plot. During this, they both ended up meeting each-other again, where Luffy learned of the other's identity.

   Luffy was unable to rescue Ace before the latter was taken to Marineford to be executed, but managed to escape from Impel Down with a horde of escaped prisoners and head to Marine Headquarters. There, with the assistance of the Whitebeard Pirates, Luffy succeeded in freeing Ace, though Ace was unfortunately killed by Marine Admiral Akainu, which resulted in Luffy suffering a mental breakdown. Soon after Ace's death, the Blackbeard Pirates arrived with the new members they had recruited from Level 6. Together, they killed Whitebeard and enabled Blackbeard to steal the deceased Emperor's ability through unknown means. As Blackbeard proceeded to unleash chaos on the battlefield, Luffy's allies worked to get him off Marineford. Fortunately for them, Law and his crew, the Heart Pirates, arrived in their submarine to take Luffy away. Once they did so, the Emperor Shanks arrived to put an end to the war, allowing the Marines, Blackbeard Pirates, Whitebeard Pirates and Heart Pirates to all retreat in peace.

   All of the Supernovas that were not involved in the conflict, save for Zoro, watched the war from the video broadcast on Sabaody until the transmission was cut off,[48] at which point they traveled to Marineford and watched from afar on their ships.[49]

   Post-War Arc Blackbeard captures Bonney in the New World. Blackbeard captures Bonney in the New World.

   Following the great war, most of the Supernovas and their crews headed to the New World. The main exception was Law, who opted to wait a little longer. The Kid, Drake, and Hawkins Pirates began subjugating islands and other pirates they came across, while Apoo, Bege, and Urouge had encounters with the area's otherworldly forces of nature. Bonney and her crew ended up being captured by the Blackbeard Pirates, but Blackbeard was forced to leave her when a Marine battleship captained by Akainu arrived. Akainu proceeded to capture Bonney.

   After recovering from his wounds and mental breakdown, Luffy sent a message to his crew by ringing the Ox Bell on Marineford, telling them that they would reunite and head to the New World in two years.[50] He would then travel to Rusukaina to train with Rayleigh to utilize Haki while Zoro trained with Dracule Mihawk on Kuraigana Island.

   During the Timeskip As Luffy and Zoro continued to train in their respective locations, all the other Supernovas became even more infamous in the New World.

   Blackbeard was considered the top candidate to replace Whitebeard among the Four Emperors following the latter's death, and he would do so in a year after conquering much of his old captain's territory and thoroughly defeating the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates in the Payback War.[51]

   After finally entering the New World, Law would make a name for himself primarily through his involvement in instigating the Rocky Port Incident.[52] He would then join the ranks of the Seven Warlords after sending 100 pirate hearts to Marine Headquarters as part of his master plan to bring down both the Warlord Donquixote Doflamingo and Kaidou of the Four Emperors.[53] Meanwhile, Bonney managed to escape capture by the Marines, and has appeared to lay low since then.[54]

   The other Supernovas became involved with the Four Emperors in various manners. Kid and Killer launched attacks against both the Big Mom Pirates and Red Hair Pirates, with Kid losing one of his arms in a battle with the latter.[55] Bege, Apoo, and Urouge each invaded Big Mom's territory, and Bege joined the Big Mom Pirates while the other two were defeated.[56] Drake joined the Beasts Pirates after invading one of Kaidou's favorite islands,[57] and quickly rose up the ranks to become a member of the crew's Tobiroppo;[58] Apoo also secretly joined the Beasts Pirates as an informant.[59]

   Due to the actions of the Supernovas and Blackbeard in the timespan between the events of Sabaody and now, their group became recognized as the "Worst Generation".

   Jewelry Bonney,[9] also known as the "Big Eater", is a pirate from the South Blue and the captain of the Bonney Pirates.[1] She is one of twelve pirates who are referred to as the "Worst Generation" and the only female member of the group.[10]

   Bonney is the daughter of Ginny and the adopted daughter of Bartholomew Kuma,[11] the former King of the Sorbet Kingdom (making her Sorbet's former princess). Thanks to experiments conducted by Jaygarcia Saturn of the Five Elders, Bonney acquired the powers of the Toshi Toshi no Mi,[12] which allows her to manipulate the age of herself and others at will. She also inherited the Sapphire Scales disease from her mother, forcing her to live inside Kuma's church through her early childhood.

   After Kuma sacrificed his body and free will to the World Government in exchange for Dr. Vegapunk curing Bonney, she ventured forth from her home to become a pirate in search of her father, using her ability to appear as a young woman in her twenties, despite still being a little girl, having been ten years old during her debut and now being twelve after the timeskip.[13].[14] Bonney eventually succeeded in reuniting with her father after he saved her life during the Egghead Incident.[12]

   Upon reaching the Sabaody Archipelago, Bonney had a bounty of Beli140,000,000.[1] Two years later, it was raised to Beli320,000,000.[8]

   Bonney is a companion and major ally of the Straw Hat Pirates during the Egghead Arc and Elbaph Arc.

   Advertisement Appearance Bonney is a 12-year-old little girl who is slim despite the enormous amount of food she consumes regularly. She has long light pink hair and brown (later blue) eyes (purple in the anime). Due to her Devil Fruit ability, she can alter her age and thus change her appearance at will.[15] Her most common appearance in public is that of a curvaceous, taller, and more buxom young woman in her early 20s with less childish facial features.

   Her outfit consists of a white low-cut tank top, along with a pair of orange-and-black striped buckled shorts with long, thin suspenders. She also wears black high-heeled boots that reach to her calves, with large laces coming from the openings, and a pair of hot pink and dark red stockings with a yellow sun-like motif on them (a pattern seen other times in the One Piece world). She has a golden anti-eyebrow below her right eye where her Sapphire Scales used to be, which she adorned hoping it would help her father recognize her. She also wears bright red lipstick on the middle of her lips due to not knowing how to apply lipstick properly. She consistently wears a brown furred jacket and a green Furażerka hat with a light-green lining that has foldable earflaps that can be pulled down for disguise and cold weather; she received both of these items from Conney when she escaped from government custody.

   Bonney's common outfit did not change much after the timeskip; she now wears pink lipstick instead of the red one from two years ago and a new white tank top with frills along the rim. During the Punk Hazard Arc, Bonney was shown wearing a black hat (possibly a sunhat) and a furred, hooded coat, likely due to the winter island she was seen on at the time.

   During the Egghead Arc, Bonney wears no hat. Through the use of a clothes-changing machine at Egghead, Bonney started wearing a purple leotard bodysuit with a hood, along with purple gloves, thigh-length purple leggings, an earpiece, and a pair of purple DOM shoes. After escaping from Egghead and during the Elbaph Arc, Bonney has remained in her child form.

   As a five-year-old child, Bonney had shoulder-length hair with a cowlick as opposed to her current back-length hair. During this time, a blue, rock-like skin disorder had started manifesting in her right cheek as a result of the Sapphire Scales disease she had contracted. Her outfit consisted of a sleeveless, ragged shirt, a pair of shorts held up by thin suspenders, and short boots.[16] At 8 years old, Bonney's hair was longer, and the Sapphire Scales already covered most of her right face. At age 9, Bonney had fully recovered from the disease and no longer showed any signs of it on her face or body.

Princess Bonney What-If Bonney's appearance as a Princess, if Kuma remained as King of Sorbet.[17] Personality In accordance with her true age, Bonney's personality is not unlike that of an ordinary kid, being playful, energetic, and rather innocent. She is sometimes described as "vulgar" due to her lack of maturity contrasting with the adult figure she generally prefers presenting herself as. However, Bonney is not entirely childish, and in comparison to certain older characters like Monkey D. Luffy, she can come off as more reasonable and less simple-minded, even if only slightly. Like other children her age, she has a big sense of adventure and enjoys flashy, colorful things like rainbows.

   Bonney bingeing on food. Bonney bingeing on food.

   Befitting her epithet, Bonney is an extremely gluttonous person with very poor table manners. She will, for instance, demand more food before finishing her current meal, eschewing utensils and talking with her mouth full. She is usually seen eating pizza, her favorite food, even when fighting or on the run.[18][1][19][20] She shares this quirk with her late mother, Ginny, who was similarly insatiable when it came to eating, and it is a big reason for her rapport with Luffy.

   Bonney has always displayed an aggressive temper and rude attitude, seemingly stemming from her early childhood as a frequent victim of bullying due to her rare medical condition, which prevented her from socializing with other children normally. Still, even at the young age of five, Bonney knew how to be tactful and show restraint, mostly to prevent upsetting her father, Kuma. Said mindset extends to this day, as she knows when to fight and when to prevent trouble, particularly in dangerous territories such as the Sabaody Archipelago. When she saw Zoro attempting to attack a World Noble, she orchestrated a scene to fake Zoro's death and prevent an escalation, knowing full well that such a thing would have led to terrible consequences.[15] However, this sense of caution is overwritten when enticing food is involved, similar to Luffy and Chopper.

   “ Here are our ironclad rules of piracy! Plunder whatever you want! (From bad guys!) And don't help a soul! (Unless they really need it!) ” — Bonney's pirate motto.[21]

   Being young, Bonney believes in the stereotypical view of what a pirate should be, that of being selfish, violent plunderers (although she still encourages some degree of morality going by her own personal code). For Bonney, all pirates should follow an unspoken agreement of not creating a stir in delicate situations, and the idea of a pirate helping wounded strangers also leaves her dumbfounded. However, even Bonney is not against losing control of her emotional urges to confront those others would dare not; while she was originally against the idea of defying the World Nobles of Sabaody Archipelago, due to their statuses and the consequences that would be incurred, when she realized that her father's mind was killed on the orders of Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, Bonney did not hesitate in attacking him, ironically disregarding the consequences herself. Several instances suggest that Bonney has an unforgiving disposition towards those who wrong her, holding grudges and cursing their name.[22][23]

   Bonney may not be a pleasant individual, but she is capable of respecting others, particularly her fellow members of the Worst Generation, having shown a keen interest in Luffy and Trafalgar Law's exploits.[24] She had a genuinely loving relationship with her father, Bartholomew Kuma, as she was heartbroken upon witnessing his brutal enslavement at Mary Geoise and even defended a Pacifista unit that resembled her father at one point, showing great sensitivity towards even his likeness being disrespected. Bonney loves Kuma dearly and has been driven primarily by her desire to be reunited with him, especially after learning about his ultimate fate as a mindless cyborg during the Summit War of Marineford.

   Like Kuma, Bonney believes in the figure of Nika, having heard the stories her father had shared with her about the ancient Buccaneer legend, and genuinely thinks that he still exists somewhere in modern times. Because of her sheltered upbringing caused by a rare disease, Bonney clung onto the god as a savior and symbol of her own personal freedom. One of her objectives is thus to find Nika, not only for herself but also for her father's sake.

   Bonney fainting at the sight of bugs. Bonney fainting at the sight of bugs.

   Bonney has a severe case of entomophobia, as she fainted from the sight of a whole horde of insects rushing at her.[25] She is pretty vindictive about this aspect of her personality as well, becoming unreasonable and murderous against those who employ her fear against her, regardless of whether or not it was intentional on their part.

   Advertisement Relationships Family Bartholomew Kuma “ Everyone calls you a tyrant...but I know my daddy is the kindest and most wonderful man in the entire world...and I'll never, ever forget it! ” — Bonney voices her love for Kuma upon their reunion.[26] Kuma raising Bonney. Kuma raising Bonney.

   Bonney's adoptive father is Bartholomew Kuma, the former king of Sorbet Kingdom and also a Revolutionary and then Warlord. Their bond was extremely close and affectionate, as Bonney remembered the unconditional love her father gave during her childhood, and she knows about Nika from him.

   Because Bonney's disease forced her to live indoors and emboldened other children to mock her, Kuma often had to lift her spirits, sometimes referring to her facial stones as "jewels" and talking to her about places they could visit in the future, after she was cured. When Kuma learned the illness was terminal, however, he did not have the heart to tell her the truth, but that did not stop him from traveling around the world until he found someone who could offer her treatment, leading eventually to their shared connection with Dr. Vegapunk, Bonney's savior.[27]

   When Kuma started acting as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he had to keep his distance from Bonney while she was watched over by "medical workers" at Sorbet but still wrote frequently to her. However, his letters never really reached Bonney due to CP8 agent Alpha's interference, leaving young Bonney desolated. Being away from Kuma without a word from him further motivated her to leave the country and become a pirate in order to reunite with him, especially after finding out the truth about her secret hostage situation.

   In the present, it is known that Bonney still has a very deep love for Kuma and will defend anything he stands for, even being unable to fight lookalikes due to her past and her devotion to her father.[28] She became very outraged towards the World Government for turning Kuma into a cyborg, followed by enslaving and allowing him to suffer abuse at the hands of the World Nobles. This is further emphasized by the fact that she went to Vegapunk's island base of Egghead to ask questions of him regarding Kuma's Pacifista transformation, of which she was unaware during their previous encounter years ago.

   Bonney reunites with Kuma. Bonney reunites with Kuma.

   Upon discovering her father's memories manifested into a bubble, she resolved herself to viewing them, regardless of how painful they were, so she could understand him better.[29] Upon learning the whole truth about her father, including the fact that they were not biologically related by blood and all of the misery he had been burdened with throughout his life, including the painful truth that he had sacrificed himself to save her life from Sapphire Scales, Bonney could only weep. When she was held by Saturn, he revealed that he was responsible for giving her mother and eventually herself Sapphire Scales, causing her to cry in despair, and before he could kill her, he was blocked from doing so by Kuma, who then attacked Saturn and hugged his daughter. As they hugged, Bonney expressed gratitude for everything Kuma had done for her. After escaping Egghead, Bonney and Kuma are happy that they are together again.

   Advertisement Ginny Bonney did not know much about her mother due to Ginny passing away from Sapphire Scales while she was still a baby, as Ginny risked what was left of her life to safely bring Bonney back to Sorbet Kingdom. Bonney first learned about her mother from Kuma's memories, including the fact that Ginny was Kuma's only love and how she was adopted in honor of her mother's memory. When she learned Saturn had been the cause of Ginny's death by using her as a test subject in unethical human experiments that led her to suffer Sapphire Scales, Bonney cried in despair, wailing about how her parents' lives were unfairly ruined. When Kuma rescued her from Saturn, she told him that from viewing his memories, she could tell that her mother was a wonderful person.

   Conney Following Kuma's resignation from Sorbet's throne, Conney took the role of parent towards Bonney, being the one who took care of her while Kuma was away. She was the one who would comfort Bonney whenever she felt sad about her father's absence and frequently cooked for her.

   Conney was directly responsible for Bonney becoming a pirate, as she was the one who planned her escape from CP8's watch, having instructed Bonney and the citizens of Sorbet to keep silent about the Toshi Toshi no Mi and switching places with the young girl so she could sneak away while CP8 was none the wiser. In the present time, Bonney would honor Conney by taking her form often to elude the World Government.

   Lilith After escaping Egghead together, Lilith has taken the role as Bonney's guardian.[30]

   Crew Many members of her crew, such as Gyogyo, were former Sorbet citizens who were close to Kuma and Bonney's mother, Ginny, and in turn acted as her friends and caregivers prior to her pirate career. On Conney's suggestion, her crew modified a fishing vessel into a pirate ship and assisted Bonney's escape from the government's custody.

   Allies Revolutionary Army Bonney is familiar with the organization, as her father was part of it. She sees them as trustworthy to the point of offering a team-up to save her father. Sabo, in turn, is aware of her as being the daughter of Kuma and accepted her request. She entrusted keeping Kuma safe to the Revolutionary while she went to Egghead to find Vegapunk and turn her father back to normal. She recalled that Dragon is a very good friend of Kuma.

   Advertisement Straw Hat Pirates Prior to the timeskip, Bonney harbored a grudge against the Straw Hats due to the chaos they caused on Sabaody by attacking the World Nobles. She swore that she would crush them if she met them in the New World.

   Two years later, Bonney was saved by them near Egghead. She respects Sanji as a strong fighter and a good cook. In turn, Sanji is protective of Bonney as he is with all women. Franky also tries to do his best to look after Bonney's well-being, especially after Vegapunk's death. After escaping Egghead, Bonney has become much more comfortable and friendly with them.

   Monkey D. Luffy Luffy, Bonney, and Chopper chow down together. Luffy, Bonney, and Chopper chow down together.

   Though she and Luffy did not actually meet face-to-face on Sabaody Archipelago, Luffy's actions during the Celestial Dragon incident unintentionally garnered him Bonney's fury, which even extended to the rest of the Straw Hats (though this may simply be due to her earlier interactions with Zoro, whose ignorance she had to put up with).[22] However, upon reading the news of Doflamingo's defeat, she praised Luffy and Law for it.[20]

   Around the time of the destruction of the Lulusia Kingdom, Luffy and his crew saved Bonney's life near Egghead. Once Luffy, Bonney, Chopper, and Jinbe washed ashore on Egghead, Bonney thanked Luffy for saving her while reminding him that they are still rivals. She is perplexed that Luffy is an Emperor despite his carefree attitude and was frustrated by Luffy incorrectly calling her "Boogey," though he eventually started referring to her correctly due to feeling sorry about her situation with Kuma.

   Despite considering themselves rivals, Bonney and Luffy are actually very alike, especially when it comes to their gluttonous love for food. She happily joined Luffy and Chopper in eating food from Vegapunk's vending machine together after discovering how to use it properly.

   Luffy and Bonney prepare to defeat Saturn together. Luffy and Bonney prepare to defeat Saturn together.

   After seeing her father's memories, including the high hopes Kuma held for Luffy, Bonney gained more respect for him, especially after realizing Luffy is the current incarnation of Nika. Bonney cried with relief that she had finally found him. She begs Luffy to show her how he can throw a punch at Saturn, which he obliges. Bonney later asked the Giant Warrior Pirates if they could help Luffy as he was off dealing with Saturn and Kizaru.

   Luffy in turn decides to help Bonney gain justice for her family, teaching her to use her future-changing powers to copy his Gear 5 transformation. With Luffy's support, Bonney grows more confident and uses her newfound powers to fight back against the Elders, becoming the very hero her father sought after for so long.

   Advertisement Roronoa Zoro Bonney first encountered Zoro when the latter stumbled into Saint Charlos' path, prompting the latter to shoot. Being unaware of what was happening, Zoro almost killed him in retaliation. Fortunately, Bonney's quick thinking allowed her to restrain Zoro and diffuse the situation by faking his death. While exasperated at how clueless Zoro could be for not knowing who Charlos was and what the repercussions for killing him would be, she became even more confused when he picked up a man who had previously been shot by Charlos and carried him to a nearby hospital.[15]

   Enemies World Government & Marines As a pirate, Bonney is a criminal wanted by both the World Government and the Marines. Before that, Bonney was used as a hostage by the World Government to make Kuma become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and a cyborg weapon with no free will. Jaygarcia Saturn threatened to have Bonney enslaved if Kuma did not keep his distance from her following the completion of her Sapphire Scales treatment, as a way to prevent a possible betrayal from Kuma's part. During the time Bonney received treatment at Egghead, she had a brief friendship with Sentomaru and Kizaru.[31]

   In the present day, Bonney dislikes the government for giving Kuma the reputation of a tyrant king, which she knows is a lie. According to Akainu, Bonney was valuable for the government, who were interested in keeping her around to ensure Kuma's loyalty to them. However, by the time CP0 invaded Egghead, Rob Lucci deemed Bonney to be of no further use to the government and prepared to eliminate her, though Saturn was willing to let her go.

   After learning that she had control over the Pacifista, the Marines have begun specifically targeting her again. However, Bonney has escaped from the Marines' grasps.

   Jaygarcia Saturn While initially hostile and holding a grudge towards Vegapunk for turning Kuma into a mindless cyborg, Bonney has redirected these feelings at Jaygarcia Saturn after she found Kuma's memories and realized that the member of the Five Elders was the one truly responsible for what happened. Upon seeing Saturn, Bonney immediately tried to attack him, doing so with tears in her eyes.[32] Even as she openly resented him for "killing" her father, Saturn said it was justified, as Kuma was part of a race that committed a crime against the world.[33]

   Saturn originally had interest in keeping Bonney alive to strengthen the World Government's hold over Kuma, essentially keeping the girl hostage and threatening to enslave her if Kuma attempted to escape his Pacifista conversion procedure. Once Kuma became a full-time slave of the World Nobles, Saturn no longer viewed Bonney as a priority target and was willing to ignore her during the Marine siege at Egghead, but once the girl started fighting back against him and the Marines there, Saturn changed his mind and readied to have her executed by firing squad but was interfered with by Kuma. Saturn tries to stomp on Bonney, but only for Kuma to take the attack. When realizing Bonney has a higher authority than him and the other Elders, Saturn orders the Marines to eliminate her. When escaping from Egghead on the Giant Warrior Pirates' ship, Saturn tries his last attempt to kill Bonney but is beaten by Bonney and Luffy as well. Bonney declared to Saturn that he and the other Elders are not gods when real gods and heroes exist. Saturn soon regenerates and is still attempting to kill Bonney but is foiled by Emet.

   Advertisement Alpha Alpha was the CP8 agent who was in charge of watching over Bonney as a result of the deal Kuma made with the World Government to approve her medical treatment. Despite posing as someone who was responsible for Bonney's recovery from her Saphire Scales operation, Alpha's real mission was to keep the girl hostage as a way to dissuade Kuma from betraying the World Government.

   Alpha was generally disgusted by the relationship between Bonney and her father and, as a result, destroyed any letters delivered by the latter to the former since she had full control over what arrived in Bonney's hands at the time. She also forbade Bonney from being released from her confinement even after she got fully cured, something that drove up suspicions from the Sorbet citizens about Alpha's true role there.

   When Alpha found out that Bonney had escaped her watch with the help of Conney, Alpha became furious and pursued Bonney all the way to the open sea, threatening to have the girl violently beaten and all her accomplices killed. She, however, easily lost to Bonney in combat, having been unaware about her true strength.

   Marshall D. Teach Blackbeard holds Bonney as prisoner. Blackbeard holds Bonney as prisoner.

   After the Summit War of Marineford, Bonney was ambushed and defeated by the Blackbeard Pirates, who held her hostage in order to obtain a ship from the World Government. Blackbeard had interest in having Bonney become his woman, but once she retaliated at him with a kick, he quickly changed his mind, stating that she was not lady-like enough for him.[34]

   Other Vegapunk Bonney under Vegapunk's care. Bonney under Vegapunk's care.

   Bonney met Dr. Vegapunk four years ago, as he was the man who treated her Sapphire Scales disease, for which she was grateful. However, Bonney was unaware of the conditions Kuma had accepted in order for the procedure to happen, not realizing that her father would turn into a mindless weapon for the World Government for her sake. After witnessing the Summit War of Marineford and the state Kuma was in, Bonney stated her intent to enter the New World to hunt down the man responsible, most certainly referring to Vegapunk.[35]

   Two years later, Bonney came to Egghead to search for Dr. Vegapunk, demanding answers on why Kuma would agree to the process of becoming a mindless cyborg and how to change him back to normal, potentially planning on killing the scientist based on his response. Upon finally meeting Vegapunk again, she threatened him to change her father back to normal, but the weapon she picked up backfired on her by attracting insects to her person, causing her to faint before she could carry out her threat.[25] After awakening, Bonney continued her pursuit, further inflamed as she accused Vegapunk of being the one who unleashed the insects on her.[36]

   After going through the memories of her father, she no longer has any desire to kill Vegapunk, as she learned that he was against turning Kuma into a cyborg.[37] When they later met again, she hugged Vegapunk and apologized for attacking him, and the two fully reconciled.[12]

   Advertisement Sentomaru Bonney first met Sentomaru four years ago, when she and Kuma visited Vegapunk to cure her disease. She would play around with Sentomaru while Kuma busied himself with Vegapunk's experiments, much to the bodyguard's annoyance. During the six months that Bonney and Kuma stayed on Egghead for Bonney's treatment, Bonney and Sentomaru became friends as they ate and danced together.

   Sentomaru cared enough for Bonney's well-being to use his remaining strength in order to save her from an otherwise deadly fall, while also alerting the young girl about an incoming Marine invasion. Even as she hid from her pursuers, Bonney remained concerned with Sentomaru.

   Abilities and Powers As the captain of the Bonney Pirates, Bonney has complete authority over the crew. As a member of the Worst Generation, she is a powerful pirate. Bonney and her crew had a reputation for attacking the elderly and children, although those were in fact merely Marines affected by Bonney's abilities. This brutal reputation, along with her successfully avoiding and escaping capture from the World Government for so long, helped turn her into one of the most infamous rookie pirates in the world, following in her adoptive father's footsteps. Before the timeskip, she had a bounty of Beli140,000,000; after the timeskip, it rose to Beli320,000,000.

   Over seven years ago, Bonney contracted the extremely rare Sapphire Scales illness, the same that killed her mother. Because of this disease, Bonney's skin became susceptible to natural light sources. Upon completing the experimental stem cell transplant therapy, Bonney was completely cured and able to come into contact with light without any harm.

   It is known that she has been training her body and stamina since she was six in order to eventually sail the seas with her father. At eight years old, Bonney already knew how to fight and defeat adult opponents. By the time she started her piracy career at the ripe age of nine, Bonney could already beat a member of Cipher Pol, a feat that is nothing short of extraordinary for a normal pirate, let alone a child. With her Devil Fruit abilities and experience, Bonney is able to defeat many Marine soldiers with minimal difficulty, something that was plainly evidenced during the Egghead Incident, as she neutralized no less than three different Marine Vice-Admirals out of the nine that were present there.

   Bonney currently has the highest authority in commanding all Pacifistas that have her father, Kuma, as their genetic template, surpassing the Five Elders, a fact that she was unaware of until Vegapunk told her. Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro commented that having control over the Pacifista effectively allows Bonney to destroy entire nations.[38] Due to this, she became a high-priority target of the Marines to be killed.

   Non-canonically, she also was able to withstand a Supreme King Haki blast from Douglas Bullet.[39]

   Advertisement Infiltration and Stealth Bonney appears to be a very skilled escape artist, as she has managed to escape from the World Government's possession twice. Likewise, she is skilled at infiltration, stealth, thievery, acting, and mind games thanks to her Devil Fruit. She proved this when she successfully managed to infiltrate Mary Geoise by posing as one of the Levely attendees, a noteworthy feat considering that for most pirates, entering through Mary Geoise without being invited or enslaved is considered practically impossible. Rob Lucci even noted that she has escaped the World Government's hold over her many times.[40]

   Physical Abilities Bonney kicks Luffy. Bonney kicks Luffy.

   Due to her strong desire to overcome her illness and sail the seas, Bonney trained herself from a very young age to be as physically capable as possible, and as a result, Bonney has shown considerable physical abilities despite her slender frame and young age, enhanced by her Devil Fruit, to manipulate her physical age.

   Even at the young age of eight, Bonney possessed immense physical strength, as she was more than capable of fighting and defeating grown men and severely beating them as well. She even managed the extraordinary feat of defeating Alpha, a member of Cipher Pol, with a single punch, despite her young age. Similar to Boa Hancock's and Sanji's fighting styles, Bonney's fighting style seems to personally emphasize powerful and acrobatic kicks. She even managed to injure Marshall D. Teach, who is a monstrously durable man, by kicking him in the head.[41] She was also able to make a distracted Luffy bleed and send him flying with just one kick despite his own substantial durability.[42] Bonney is also extremely fast. She managed to tackle Zoro before he was able to attack Saint Rosward Charlos, sensing his killing intent quickly enough to prevent a reaction.[15]

   Bonney has an incredible metabolism where she can eat large amounts of food, to the point where she becomes fat and round, but instantly burns all the calories to replenish her stamina. Likewise, she has displayed an immense level of physical endurance, having survived a shock from Egghead's Frontier Dome at maximum strength.

   Devil Fruit Further information: Toshi Toshi no Mi Bonney's power on a group of Marines. Bonney's power on a group of Marines.

   Due to Jaygarcia Saturn's experiment to test whether a Devil Fruit could be given to an infant via an extract, Bonney acquired the power of the Toshi Toshi no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows her to freely manipulate the aging process of anything, including herself, other people, and objects, though the effects are only temporary on living things. A unique effect of this ability is that the years Bonney steals from people are physically manifested in the form of sparkling three-dimensional jewels and shapes.[3]

   She can use this power to disguise herself, being able to freely change between a little girl, a young adult, and an old granny, making it so people will not recognize her as the same person they are looking for. Another benefit is that she can cripple opponents by rapidly aging them into their feeble senior years or by regressing them into small, weak children.[43]

   Another application of this power is by 'shooting' at an opponent; she can induce a Near Death Experience (NDE), causing them to briefly adopt the appearance of a skeleton before their flesh returns. This ability seems to make an opponent actually experience a pseudo-death, akin to a physical hallucination, resulting in extreme emotional trauma.

   She can also age herself into any possible future version of herself she can imagine, even if the future she envisions is not actually possible. This includes futures where she becomes a giant or even a deity.

   Advertisement Haki Main article: Haki Bonney uses Armament Haki. Bonney uses Armament Haki.

   Bonney is an extremely talented user of Armament Haki, having achieved a high mastery despite her young age. She first demonstrated this skill while assuming her Nika form, hardening her inflated fist to assist in striking Luffy from behind to send Marcus Mars flying a vast distance away, which consequently caused the rubber man to experience a great deal of pain in the process[44] and later when she punched Jaygarcia Saturn in the face, rendering him unconscious.[45]

   Weapons Bonney is generally versatile with weapons, often picking up any nearby objects that could be potentially used for battle (from actual weapons to random scrap).

   At one point during her rookie days, she wielded a plain stick weapon when invading a certain island. At Egghead's scrap heap, she was in possession of a beam saber that was considered a failure by Vegapunk due to its unintended side-effect of attracting bug swarms.[25] Later, Bonney used a pipe as a makeshift club, swinging it as she chased Vegapunk down a corridor.[36] While facing Kizaru, she employed a metal cord from the then destroyed Vegaforce-01 instead but was unable to hit the Admiral.[46] While fighting Marines on Egghead, Bonney managed to acquire a pistol and later picked up a stray katana to stab Saturn with.[47]

   History Past Kuma finding Bonney in his church. Kuma finding Bonney in his church.

   Twelve years ago, Bonney was born the daughter of Ginny, a commander of the Revolutionary Army who was kidnapped and forcibly made the wife of a World Noble. However, the identity of Bonney's biological father remains unknown. Jaygarcia Saturn appeared to be close to the World Noble in that he was aware of the previous seven wives of said Noble with Ginny being the eighth. While Bonney was still a baby, Saturn performed an experiment to test whether a Devil Fruit could be given to an infant via an extract, which turned out to be a success on Bonney, who was given the Toshi Toshi no Mi in the process. However, due to a separate experiment performed on her mother that ended in failure, both Ginny and Bonney contracted the Sapphire Scales disease and were thrown out of Mary Geoise.[12] Ginny used the last bits of her strength to sail to Sorbet Kingdom with Bonney, where she finally died with her daughter in her arms. Bartholomew Kuma then arrived and promised to raise Bonney, with the church-going elders assisting him.[3]

   Around the time Bonney became a toddler, she started developing symptoms of Sapphire Scales as well, forcing her to remain inside the now-barricaded chapel to avoid the sunlight. Many doctors attempted to examine Bonney but were unable to identify her specific condition. By age five, Bonney faced harassment for the stone-like protrusion that had grown under her eye, but she was able to fend off her annoyers by herself, as Kuma tried to keep her away from the sun. At one point in her life, Kuma asked Bonney about locations she would like to visit once cured, showing interest in places like the Sky Islands and Fish-Man Island.[48]

   Later, on one specific night, a doctor was able to successfully diagnose Bonney's illness. He informed Kuma about the disease's specifics, admitting it was terminal and that Bonney would only last until her tenth year of life, at maximum. Bonney, overhearing this whole conversation, misunderstood the doctor's words, interpreting his diagnosis as her being free of her illness once she became ten years old. Now happy and hopeful, Bonney surprised her father about what she understood was going to be her eventual cure, with Kuma being unable to tell her the truth.[49]

   Bonney learning how to manipulate her own age with Conney's help. Bonney learning how to manipulate her own age with Conney's help.

   At age six, Bonney subconsciously accessed the power of the Toshi Toshi no Mi, giving her the power to freely alter her appearance age-wise. She started to build up her stamina so she could travel with Kuma, unaware that she had taken an adult form until seeing herself in the mirror. From that point on, Bonney tried to control her ability in order to get older faster, despite Kuma's protests. When Bulldog and his mother, Conney, showed up at the church to speak with Kuma, Bonnie managed to age herself up into an elderly appearance by using Conney as a model.

   Bonney later bid goodbye to her father when the latter decided to leave Sorbet following Bekori's false propagandizing of Kuma as a tyrant, staying under the care of King Bulldog and his mother, Conney, and proclaiming that she would join with her father as a pirate by age ten. By age eight, she learned how to fight through the kingdom's royal guard. When Kuma eventually returned, he took Bonney to Egghead, under the justification of a regular checkup, and left her in Sentomaru's company. Unbeknownst to Bonney, Dr. Vegapunk planned to cure her using stem cell technology after striking a deal with her father, who later had to accept more terms after Saturn and the Marines became involved and her own life became a bargaining chip.[50]

   Clueless about the inhumane conditions that her father had to accept for her medical operation's approval (all kept a secret by Kuma's own request), Bonney would happily spend the next half a year receiving surgical treatment at Egghead in Kuma's company, as well as that of Vegapunk, Sentomaru, and occasionally Borsalino, leading to all of them growing close. Bonney also made a scribbly drawing of her father during this period, which Kuma would then adopt as his Jolly Roger later on. After six months, Bonney's disease was considered mostly cured by Vegapunk, although she was still required to spend another year away from natural sunlight at the Sorbet Kingdom, again per Kuma's request.

   Unbeknowst to Bonney, she would not see Kuma again for a long time. Unbeknowst to Bonney, she would not see Kuma again for a long time.

   Back in her homeland, Bonney was welcomed by the citizens and reunited with Queen Conney, who intended to take care of her once more. She also met Alpha, a CP8 agent posing as a nurse who would be in charge of monitoring her full recovery, not knowing that she was in truth being kept hostage by her. Kuma, who was not allowed to meet Bonney ever again due to the agreement he had made with the World Government, bid his daughter a final farewell without telling her about all the sacrifices he had made for her good health, only thanking her for being born and existing in his life. As Kuma left the kingdom, Bonney cheered for him alongside the rest of the citizens.[51]

   Since Kuma's departure, Bonney would wait repeatedly for letters from Kuma, unaware that said letters were intercepted and confiscated by Alpha. One day, when Bonney was sparring with Gyogyo with her ability active, Alpha briefly stumbled into a transformed Bonney, but the latter was quick to detransform in order to keep her abilities a secret per Conney's advice.

   On September 1st, Bonney celebrated her ninth birthday party with the residents of Sorbet. As they fell asleep, she went to check the mailbox for letters from Kuma but again found nothing, to her frustration. Half a year later, Bonney's Sapphire Scales had been fully cured, but Alpha refused to allow her outside, claiming she needed to stay until she turned ten, which outraged Bonney, as that contradicted what Vegapunk had told her. Conney revealed to Bonney that she overheard that Alpha was in fact a government agent and that she had let slip that the illness was already cured. Conney went on to orchestrate a plan to allow Bonney to escape to sea and find Kuma, disguising herself as an elderly Bonney while the real Bonney, disguised as Conney, went off to an escape ship with Gyogyo and other fishermen.

   Alpha caught on to this plan and chased after Bonney at sea. Bonney then recalled a conversation she had with Kuma about what Nika looked like and used the information her father had told her to manifest a giant, rubbery fist and defeat Alpha.[52]

   Advertisement East Blue Saga As Bonney took to the sea to become a pirate, she officially formed the Bonney Pirates. For the following year, she and her crew journeyed the seas to find Kuma, getting into scuffles with the Marines and earning a reputation for targeting children and the elderly (actually just a misunderstanding caused by her Devil Fruit's effects).

   Bonney leads her "crew" into battle. Bonney leads her "crew" into battle.

   One day, Bonney and her crew tracked Kuma to a certain island and fought with the stationed Marines there. While Kuma was indeed present at the island, he teleported away to prevent an encounter out of concern for her safety.[53] This did not discourage Bonney, however, and she resumed her journey with the intent of becoming famous enough that her father would eventually notice her. She also showed a desire to meet Nika as well.

   At some point, Bonney entered the Grand Line, earning herself a bounty of Beli140,000,000 and becoming a very infamous pirate by the time her crew reached the Sabaody Archipelago. She also became a high-priority target for the World Government to recover.[54]

   Summit War Saga Sabaody Archipelago Arc After a long voyage following one of the Log Pose routes of the Grand Line, Bonney and her crew came to the Sabaody Archipelago to prepare themselves for the New World. While there, she and her crew decided to eat in a restaurant located in Grove 24 of the mangrove. There, she ordered a big meal and disgusted the other customers with her appetite and bad table manners. She, in particular, disgusted Capone Bege and almost got into a fight with him and his crew if not for the temporary truce that they had to observe between them.[1]

   Bonney prevents Zoro's attack on Saint Charlos. Bonney prevents Zoro's attack on Saint Charlos.

   After her meal and leaving the restaurant, she saw Roronoa Zoro about to attack a World Noble (Rosward Charlos) who shot at him. As Zoro evaded the shot and prepared to retaliate, Bonney leaped at Zoro and threw him down to the ground. While doing so, she subsequently called Zoro "her brother" and stated that he "died" (slapping some tomato juice onto Zoro's forehead to make it look so) at that moment from the shot fired from the World Noble in order to prevent an incident from happening, which could potentially cause an Admiral to be dispatched by the Marines to the archipelago. After the noble left, Bonney scolded Zoro for the stunt he pulled. As Zoro carried a man whom the noble shot to a hospital, Bonney wondered why a pirate would help people.[15]

   Upon hearing of Monkey D. Luffy's attack on a World Noble, she became angry and said that if she ever sees the Straw Hat Pirates again in the New World, she will crush them there.[22] In the midst of her escape, she used her Devil Fruit abilities to turn any attacking Marines into children and old men.[43]

   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.

   The video player is currently playing an ad. You can skip the ad in 5 sec with a mouse or keyboard 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]

Personality 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.

   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]

   Advertisement Rivals As a member of the Worst Generation, he sees the other Beli100,000,000+ bounty rookies he encountered in the Sabaody Archipelago as his rivals, specifically Law and Luffy.[32]

   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]

   Kid, Luffy and Law standing against the Marines in front of the Human Auctioning House. Kid, Luffy and Law standing against the Marines in front of the Human Auctioning House.

   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.

   Devil Fruit Further information: Jiki Jiki no Mi Kid using his magnetism to form giant arms out of scrap metal. Kid using his magnetism to form giant arms out of scrap metal.

   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]

   Kid has achieved Devil Fruit Awakening, allowing him to bestow magnetic properties onto things other than his own body. By his own admission, he has not fully mastered his awakened powers and it takes a serious toll on his stamina.[60]

   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]

   Armament Haki Kid possesses the ability to use Armament Haki.[61]

   Non-canonically, in One Piece: Stampede Kid showcases hardening both of his metal arms during his fight with Douglas Bullet,[66] and in the anime he is seen hardening his arm and proceeds to then punch Poker.[67]

   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]

   Urouge,[6] nicknamed the Mad Monk, is a pirate hailing from a sky island and high priest of the Fallen Monk Pirates.[1] He is one of twelve pirates referred to as the "Worst Generation",[7] and prior to the two-year timeskip had a bounty of Beli108,000,000.[1]

   The video player is currently playing an ad. Appearance Urouge is abundant in both height and width. His face somewhat resembles a smiling totem mask as he is nearly always seen grinning, even when he is unhappy; the only moments he is not seen smiling was when he was approaching Raijin Island, when he was confounded by the island spewing lightning nonstop, and again when he gives final benedictions to Kaidou's jumping off a sky island. Apart from his smile, he also has what appears to be a stitched-up scar vertically descending over, and falling short just above his left eye. On his chin he has a prominent, jet-black, and scruffy beard that extends upwards to the sides of his jaw and then converges with his equally-dark side-burns. He seems to sport the short and clean-cut sort of hairstyle generally sported by monks. He also has black tattoos going down his shoulders that somewhat resemble fire.

   He dresses in similar robes to Divine Soldiers underneath the khaki robes he wears (which is also worn by the rest of his crew), which includes the white full-bodied garment with severed sleeves, that exposes tattoos patterned like flames on both biceps. He wears a pair of gold earrings, black gloves and a rather large red bead necklace. He also has a pair of large wings growing out from the middle of his back.[1]

   In SBS Volume 64, Oda drew the Supernovas as children. Urouge is shown with the hairstyle and wings of the Skypieans', but as an adult, his wings are more like the Birka natives.[8]

Urouge's Wanted Poster Urouge's wanted poster as seen in One Piece: Stampede. Personality Urouge's most prominent personality trait is that he is almost always smiling. Even when defeated or when believing himself to be near death, he will still have a smile on his face, such as when he was heavily wounded by a Pacifista. The only times he has not been seen smiling are when his crew approached Raijin Island and when he prayed for Kaidou.

   From what has been shown of Urouge so far he can be considered a brave man, as he was not afraid of fighting people with higher bounties than him, such as Killer. However, it is possible that he did not know his bounty or he knew that Killer had a high bounty because he notoriously attacks civilians. In spite of this though, he quit the battle when X Drake jumped in to halt the fight. Despite being brave he is not blind to danger either, for when he faced a Pacifista (who he believed was the real Kuma) and Kizaru at the same time, he wondered if that was his end. However, even when facing death, he could still laugh at what he believed was a joke, made by Basil Hawkins, about his fate.

   Urouge seems to be respectful toward people's plights, as he did not stop Kaidou when the Emperor attempted to commit suicide and instead prayed.[9]

   Abilities and Powers As one of the Worst Generation, Urouge is a powerful pirate, having managed to traverse and survive the dangers of the Grand Line and earn a bounty of Beli108,000,000 by the time he and his crew reached the Sabaody Archipelago.

   After the timeskip, Urouge was strong enough to defeat Charlotte Snack, one of Big Mom's Four Sweet Commanders and one of the strongest members of the Emperor's crew with a bounty of Beli600,000,000, although he was later defeated by Charlotte Cracker, another Sweet Commander in the Big Mom Pirates (although he was possibly exhausted from his first fight with Snack).[10] However despite his defeat, Urouge managed to survive and retreat.

   Advertisement Physical Abilities Befitting his physique, Urouge has enormous strength, able to wield a large and heavy pillar as a makeshift mace, despite his size, he is deceptively fast with extremely sharp reflexes, able to keep up with Killer's tremendous agility and also hold his own against his fellow Supernova who has a significantly higher bounty in a fight before having their fight interrupted by X Drake.

   Devil Fruit Urouge increasing his muscle mass. Urouge increasing his muscle mass.

   Urouge ate a currently unnamed Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to convert damage inflicted onto him into physical strength, which results in expanding muscles and enlarged body size.[11] Using this ability, he was able to exceed a Pacifista's body size[12] and actually damage it with his punches, although he was still vulnerable to its lasers and a kick from Admiral Kizaru.[13]

   Attacks Inga Zarashi (因果晒し, Inga Zarashi?, literally meaning "Karma Exposure"): After transforming to his gigantic, muscular size, Urouge punches his target multiple times with immense force. This was first seen used against a Pacifista.[14] This is called Karmic Punishment in the VIZ manga, Retribution in the Funimation dub and Karma Exposure in the Funimation subs. Weapons Urouge wielding his pillar weapon. Urouge wielding his pillar weapon.

   Urouge's choice of weapon appears to be a large piece of a pillar with a hexagonal base which he uses as a makeshift mace to pummel opponents. When not in use, it is mostly seen being carried on his shoulder.

   History Past Born in an unidentified sky island, Urouge somehow became a pirate and started the Fallen Monk Pirates, but they eventually ended up in the Blue Sea, how this happened and why is currently unknown. Urouge would later come to become a pirate known for his great strength and his crew traveled through the Blue Seas, where their captain made himself a reputation. He then traveled to the Grand Line and became an infamous enough pirate to earn a high bounty of Beli108,000,000 before reaching the Sabaody Archipelago.

   Advertisement Summit War Saga Sabaody Archipelago Arc On Sabaody Archipelago, Urouge had a brief brawl with Killer of the Kid Pirates. Both were stopped by the former-marine-turned-pirate X Drake before either could do further damage.[1]

   Urouge was later told by his crew that a World Noble was coming their way. Though he referred to the nobles as "nasty little things," he consented along with the other pirates and civilians to lower themselves to their knees to avoid any trouble. He respected Roronoa Zoro for standing up and almost trying to kill one of them, while he himself preferred to "sit it off". He also pondered the strength of the Straw Hat Pirates' Captain, to have such an incredible person as Zoro with such a high bounty serve under him.[15]

   When reading of Portgas D. Ace's planned execution, Urouge did not lose his eternal smile but seemed disturbed.[16] When the news of Monkey D. Luffy attacking a World Noble spread, he called the Straw Hats "troublesome" but seemed impressed by their actions.[17]

   Urouge tried to sneak off to avoid confronting Admiral Kizaru but was attacked by a Pacifista. His strength seemed to prove no match for the cyborg and was thrown into the fight between Kizaru and Basil Hawkins. Upon noticing the Admiral, Urouge began to panic but Hawkins assured him that death was not in Urouge's future. Drake then rushed in to help him, knocking the Pacifista back with a strong kick. Using his devil fruit abilities, Urouge's muscle mass expanded, growing large enough to match the Pacifista in height and muscle mass.[18] Urouge began to fight back. With his new strength, he was able to land powerful blows to the Pacifista and cause enough damage to hold it off. However, just as he began to gain the upper hand, it shot a laser beam through his shoulder.

   With him down, the Pacifista turned its attention towards Drake. As Urouge rose to get his second wind, Kizaru reminded him of his presence, and proceeded to attack him from behind, kicking him at the speed of light through three buildings.[19] Urouge was knocked out cold from this attack, severely wounded and bloodied.[20] He was able to escape from the Admiral due to the Straw Hats distracting Kizaru.[21]

   Advertisement Marineford Arc Urouge watched Ace's execution televised at Sabaody Archipelago, meaning that he managed to escape capture by the Marines.[22]

   Post-War Arc Urouge and his crew sailed to Marineford, and during the aftermath of the Summit War of Marineford, Urouge commented about Blackbeard.[23]

   Urouge in the New World. Urouge in the New World.

   Urouge and his crew later went to the New World. They followed their Log Pose to Raijin Island that was spewing lightning, with no way to have a ship docking there. On a small boat, Kasa approached the Hanjomaru and offered the pirates some umbrellas.[24]

   Marshall D. Teach,[19] most commonly referred to by his epithet "Blackbeard",[2] is the admiral of the Blackbeard Pirates,[9] and one of the Four Emperors that rule over the New World.[3] He is the son of the legendary pirate Rocks D. Xebec[20] and his wife Eris, making him a member of the nearly-extinct Davy Family and a descendant of Davy D. Jones,[21] which is only known to a small number of individuals, including his own crew, the Five Elders,[22] and Nerona Imu.[23] He is the only known person in history to wield the powers of two Devil Fruits.[24]

   Teach started out his pirate career as an apprentice of the Whitebeard Pirates, then later became a member of the crew's 2nd Division.[7] However, he murdered Thatch, the 4th Division Commander, in order to steal the Yami Yami no Mi, a rare darkness-based Logia Devil Fruit with the power to nullify the Devil Fruit abilities of others.[8] He then fled from Whitebeard's crew and, after defeating the infamous 2nd Division Commander Portgas D. Ace and handing him over to the Marines,[5] was awarded a position among the Seven Warlords of the Sea. He only held the position briefly, though, using it to infiltrate the great underwater prison Impel Down and escaping with multiple infamous Level 6 prisoners recruited into his crew.

   Upon arriving at the Summit War of Marineford,[6] he resigned from his position and murdered Whitebeard, mysteriously stealing his quake-generating power. This, along with his victory in the Payback War[25] and conquest of the majority of Whitebeard's territories during the timeskip, resulted in his acknowledgement as one of the Four Emperors, as well as him being considered a part of the "Worst Generation" along with the eleven Supernovas.[26] After the Rocky Port Incident, he turned the island of Hachinosu into his base of operations with the ambition of having it officially accepted into the World Government as the Blackbeard Kingdom.[27][28]

   Teach initially had no bounty;[5] however, after resigning from the Seven Warlords, recruiting several dangerous criminals to his crew from Impel Down, and becoming one of the Four Emperors, he received a bounty of Beli2,247,600,000.[18] Following the downfalls of Kaidou and Big Mom during the Wano Country Arc, his bounty was increased to Beli3,996,000,000 for unknown reasons.[17]

   Due to his actions throughout the series, namely his current plans and his key role in the deaths of Portgas D. Ace and Whitebeard, Teach serves as a central antagonist of the entire series. During the series' first half, he is an unseen minor antagonist in the Drum Island Arc, a minor antagonist in the Jaya Arc, the secondary antagonist of the Post-Enies Lobby Arc, and the overarching antagonist of the Summit War Saga. During the series' second half, he is a minor antagonist in the Dressrosa Arc and Wano Country Arc, a supporting antagonist in the Egghead Arc, and one of the main antagonists of the Final Saga.

   Appearance Teach is a very tall man with dark skin, being exactly twice Luffy's (pre-timeskip) height. He has a massive build, as his body is round with relatively thin limbs. He has a prominent lipped mouth with broken or missing left maxillary lateral incisor, first premolar, mandibular central incisor and canine (though sometimes he does have a full set, which might be an inconsistency error made by Eiichiro Oda), a pronounced crooked nose, and a very large and hairy chest and torso. Long, thick, woolly black hair falls down the back of his neck, underneath a black bandana. He also has a black beard that grew around his jawline (hence his epithet).

   At his first appearance in Mock Town, Teach wore an open buttoned white shirt with rolled-up sleeves, green trousers with black line patterns, a yellow sash around his waist, and classic black swashbuckler boots complete with large bronze buckles. During his raid on Banaro Island, he had added a large black and gold captain's coat over his attire, along with white beads on each wrist as bracelets and rings with gemstones on all of the fingers of both his hands (similar to his predecessor, Crocodile). At both of these moments, his beard was still small and scruffy.[29]

   At the Seven Warlords of the Sea meeting at the Marine Headquarters, he added a pair of necklaces of red as well as golden-yellow and blue beads to his dark orange sash (dark yellow in the anime) and a traditional black tricorne hat over his grey bandana, as well as switching to a red unbuttoned dress shirt, while wearing his captain's coat like a cape. His beard had also gotten thicker and more noticeable at this point.[30] He also has three flintlocks and a flask tied to his sash around his waist.[31]

   In SBS Volume 63, Oda drew the Seven Warlords of the Sea as children. Teach is shown wearing a baseball cap with a rolled-up long-sleeve shirt and green shorts. He is also wearing black curled-tip shoes and, unlike his usual cheerful expression, is crying for an unknown reason.[32]

   During the timeskip his beard had grown significantly longer, going all the way down to his chest, and was split into two sections. He now wears a bigger tricorne with his Jolly Roger in front. On the night he recruited Kuzan into the Blackbeard Pirates, his outfit comprised a dress shirt with a darker shade of red that was buttoned halfway and a pair of purple patterned pants.[33]

   Basil Hawkins[8] is an infamous pirate from North Blue known as the "Magician" and the captain of the Hawkins Pirates. He is one of twelve pirates who are referred to as the "Worst Generation".[9] Hawkins attempted to create a Pirate Alliance with Eustass Kid and Scratchmen Apoo but he was betrayed by the latter who had secretly become a subordinate of the Emperor Kaidou. Defeated by Kaidou, Hawkins joined the Beasts Pirates and became one of the crew's Shinuchi.[2]

   His previous known bounty amounted to Beli249,000,000,[1] but after the timeskip, it was raised to Beli320,000,000.[6]

   Due to his actions and role, he is a supporting antagonist in the Wano Country Arc.

He also has a black cross pattée tattooed at the base of his throat.

   His attire includes a pure white coat with a ruffled neckline and sleeves. He also wears purple trousers tucked inside black boots with white laces on them and a dark ornament made of fur circling the lower part of his torso, with a lighter shade in the middle of it. He also has a pink sash tied around his waist, with a piece of jewelry hanging from it. Hawkins also wears dark gloves similar to those worn by Blueno of CP9, and an armor-like armlet can be seen on his left arm around his left biceps, which also extends to cover his left shoulder. On his right hip he carries a sword with an elaborate pommel that resembles a voodoo doll.

   In SBS Volume 64, Oda drew the Supernovas as children. Hawkins is shown with much shorter hair and wore a similar shirt to the one he wore before the timeskip but in pink. He wore light and dark green striped pants. He is also shown with his trademark stoic expression, possibly partaking in a tarot card reading.[10]

   After the timeskip, he changed the white cloak to a dark blue, green and black checkered pattern, reminiscent of a Scottish kilt, a pink sash on an orange, on which hangs the same ornament. Also, he wears the same black fur belt, but already with blue ornament instead of red, the same black and purple armor, but at the same time stopped wearing gloves. In addition, his hair and skin became lighter.[6]

   During the Wano Country Arc, he wore a long black cape (white in the manga), a dark shirt (white in the anime) with a ruffled collar low enough to show his tattoo, a brown glove on his left hand (Hawkins wore two brown gloves when he was in Rasetsu District), purple trousers with a checkered pattern with ruffles from the hems, a cream-colored cravat fastened by a dark cross pattée-shaped pendant, and brown boots. He also wore a black and red violet armor-like armlet.[11]

   During the raid on Onigashima, he fought against Killer and had his left arm sliced off.[12]

Basil Hawkins as a Female Oda's depiction of Hawkins as a female. Unmei no Rasen Hawkins after timeskip on the cover of the disc One Piece Nippon Judan! 47 Cruise CD. Personality Hawkins portrays himself in a noble and enigmatic manner. He almost always remains completely calm regardless of the situation, showing no emotional response to events that would be considered outrageous to most people.[13][14] Even when approached by a powerful enemy like a Marine Admiral, Hawkins rarely falters from his usual composure while considering his options for the situation at hand. He is not entirely unemotional though, but in the rare occasion he expresses anything more than general aloofness, it tends to be brief and downplayed. So far, Hawkins has exhibited visible shock, unease, and even sadism at certain points.[15][16]

   Hawkins is an extremely serious, no-nonsense individual, claiming to dislike jokes,[17] not being bothered by nudity,[18] and having little tolerance for unruly behavior.[19] He almost dismissed joining forces with the Kid Pirates and On Air Pirates for this reason, as he thought those crew's respective captains—Eustass Kid and Scratchmen Apoo—were not respecting his time due to constant infighting. Thanks to this seriousness, Hawkins holds a logical, pragmatic mindset when it comes to confrontations, even admitting in his fight against Monkey D. Luffy and Roronoa Zoro that he is not above fighting unfairly in order to subjugate a worthy foe, like his fellow members of the Worst Generation. This is facilitated by his Devil Fruit abilities, which allow him to take other people's lives hostage and utilize these as bargaining chips.[20] Still, Hawkins can demonstrate honor and release hostage lives if his goals or demands are met.[21]

   Hawkins has the habit of foretelling the fate of those around him, sometimes remarking on it regardless of its significance (ranging from death to one's clothes getting stained).[1] In fact, he spends most of his time reading and analyzing his tarot cards, which appear to be his main tools for fortune-telling. Hawkins has the utmost confidence in his cartomancy, using it to calculate the probabilities of certain outcomes happening and determine a course of action to follow. Joining the Beasts Pirates, for example, was a result of that, as any other alternative had a zero percent chance of survival according to him.[22] Hawkins often accompanies his fortune insights with vague, ominous-sounding statements like "seeing the shadow of death upon one's future", doing so either to reassure others or as a threat towards an opponent.[23][17]

   Hawkins prefers avoiding needless violence and commotion as much as possible, even apologizing in behalf of his crewmates in order to not make a scene.[1] He is a quick thinker and can make lies on the spot in order to prevent a disaster in the process.[24] On the other hand, Hawkins is a cruel and ruthless fighter who is not against slaughtering whole crews in his way.[25] He has little regard for the lives of the people represented through his Straw Men, letting them endure lethal damage meant for himself without regret or concern.

   Advertisement Relationships Crew Hawkins' crew appears to be quite loyal to him and will, without fail, follow his every imperative to the last word. In the anime, they were even willing to attempt to hold Kizaru at bay to buy their captain some time to escape when the Admiral suddenly appeared, confronting Hawkins' entourage.

   Allies Beasts Pirates Hawkins and his crew allied with Kaidou after their confrontation with him.[26] Hawkins claimed it was the only logical choice he could have made at the time in order to ensure his own survival as he felt opposing Kaidou was an impossible feat for anyone, however, Killer believed that Hawkins regretted that choice deep down.

   He has no regard using the Pleasures as dummies for his Devil Fruit.[27]

   Wano Military Since Hawkins allied himself with Kaidou, he also became allies with Kurozumi Orochi. Hawkins seems to hold a very high position, as Orochi's men call him "Master" and he is allowed to use them as dummies for his Devil Fruit.[27]

   Enemies Marines As a member of the Worst Generation, Hawkins is a major enemy of the Marines. He was nearly killed by Kizaru at Sabaody Archipelago before Apoo intervened.

   Chadros Higelyges During his encounter with Brownbeard on Foodvalten, Brownbeard attempted to deter Hawkins by boasting about his bounty, but Hawkins responded to Brownbeard's threats by mocking him and then taking away the use of his legs, effectively ending Brownbeard's career as a pirate. This confrontation caused Brownbeard to develop a grudge against him.[28]

   Trafalgar D. Water Law Hawkins and Trafalgar Law are enemies who confronted each other several times throughout the Wano Country Arc. Hawkins held a particular interest in Law's capture due to him being one of the co-leaders of the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance, while Law himself avoided Hawkins in order to keep a low profile for the sake of Kin'emon's plan, at least until his crewmates got caught, leading Law to confront Hawkins directly.

   They first engaged in a brief skirmish at Bakura Town, in Kuri. There, Hawkins noted their alliance had infiltrated Wano Country and mused that Law wanted to kill him to prevent him from informing Jack. After Kaidou's rampage throughout Kuri and Luffy's defeat against the Emperor, Hawkins once more pursued Law, being able to interrupt him from rescuing Luffy.

   Later on, after Bepo, Shachi and Penguin were caught by Orochi's forces, Hawkins used their lives against Law during a new confrontation at the Flower Capital. Law offered himself in trade of his subordinate's lives, allowing them to run free while Law endured torture from Hawkins. After X Drake released Law from captivity, Hawkins was ambushed by the surgeon and cut down after being forced to reveal some information.

   Advertisement Monkey D. Luffy Hawkins appeared to have no enmity towards Monkey D. Luffy despite the fiasco he caused at Sabaody Archipelago. Surprisingly, he became interested enough in the Straw Hat captain to perform a fortune telling on his chances of surviving the Summit War of Marineford but it never reached zero. During their confrontation in Kuri, Hawkins briefly fought Luffy and his companions, but allowed them to retreat after a poor tarot reading in Luffy's favor. Despite this, Hawkins notes that Luffy is troublesome and resumed pursuing him until the latter was defeated and captured by Kaidou.

   Eustass Kid After the time-skip, Hawkins formed an alliance with Eustass Kid and Scratchmen Apoo. Not much was known about his relationship with them, but Hawkins was willing to cooperate with them in order to defeat Shanks of the Four Emperors.

   They seemed to have gotten on more amicable terms with each other as the three captains and their crews were able to dine together.[29] However, after encountering Kaidou, and Apoo's allegiance revealed, Hawkins chose to be the Emperor's subordinate instead of his enemy, while Kid was imprisoned after being defeated. After Kid was freed, he declared that the alliance was over, due to being betrayed.[30]

   When Hawkins later encountered Kid and Killer on Onigashima, Kid calls Hawkins a traitor while Hawkins stated that he was also betrayed by Apoo, just like Kid, but unlike Kid he chose to become a subordinate of Kaidou, justifying his decision by saying it was the only decision he could have made to ensure his own survival.[31] At some point, Hawkins managed to create a Straw Man linked to Kid's life, using it as a hostage against Kid's subordinate, Killer.

   Killer Hawkins has his arm cut off by Killer. Hawkins has his arm cut off by Killer.

   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. 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 was confident about his odds of winning. 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.

   Advertisement X Drake X Drake and Hawkins worked together at the Flower Capital during certain points of the Wano Country Arc. When Drake was sent to the capital alongside Page One to deal with Sangoro, Hawkins accompanied him due to having his own target to hunt as well. They also both participated in the rebellion crackdown and Yasuie's execution, both organized by Orochi. Because of his status as a mole, Drake was seemingly interested in the possibility of Hawkins defecting from the Beasts Pirates due to his forced recruitment by Kaidou, but the Magician shot down the idea.

   Hawkins already suspected Drake for releasing Law from captivity at the Flower Capital and joined Who's-Who and Queen in questioning the undercover Marine, citing that there was no other likely candidate for the deed. From that point on, they became enemies.

   After the Raid on Onigashima, both were heavily injured and Hawkins stumbled to Drake questioning him on being apart of the Marines, with Drake refusing to answer. Hawkins then revealed to Drake that the man who he divined as having a one percent chance of survival was him all along, and proceeded to collapse from his injuries.[32]

   Abilities and Powers As Captain of the Hawkins Pirates, Basil has complete authority over the crew. And as a member of the Worst Generation, the World Government recognized him as a fearsome Pirate who, with his crew managed to survive the first half of the Grand Line and enter the New World. He dealt crippling injuries to the Brownbeard Pirates, and their Captain, Chadros Higelyges, all but ending their career as Pirates.[28] After the timeskip, his bounty of Beli249,000,000 was raised to Beli320,000,000, the fifth highest among the Supernovas, being the same as Jewelry Bonney. Hawkins' strength and abilities have shown to match his reputation, becoming one of the Beast Pirates' Shinuchi. He is among the few people who could deal faint wounds on Zoro, someone who hasn't received wounds since the timeskip; however, Zoro was protecting Luffy and an ailing Tama, after his Staw Man's Card targeted them, but proved incapable of doing much against the Pirate Hunter.

   As a Shinuchi, he holds a high position in the Beasts Pirates, has authority over lower-ranking members, and is one of the top authorities in Bakura Town along with Holed'em and Speed.

   Fortune Telling and Tarotology “ It is the fate of your clothes... I'm sorry that he scared you. Today is an unlucky day for killing. ” — Basil Hawkins.[1] Hawkins often speaks like a fortune teller and has been noted to mention reading "signs". He can use tarot cards to apparently assist him in determining the outcome of any event, as well as the likelihood of his own success. This proves to be very helpful in many situations, as it allows him to determine the outcome of a battle and act accordingly.

   His cards allow him to work out to a percentage of the chances of something happening. His predictions seem to be accurate quite often, as he was able to predict that he and his crew as well as the other Supernovas, would not perish at the hands of Kizaru. He also predicted that Luffy had a chance of surviving his injuries sustained in the war. It is yet to be explained how he is able to do this. He was wrong about his prediction concerning Brownbeard's fate though, as Hawkins said he saw the shadow of death in Brownbeard's face. Brownbeard however, survived. It is possible though that Hawkins was simply trying to scare Brownbeard. It is also possible he said this to mean that Brownbeard would come close to death (which he did) or be surrounded by his dead crewmates.[17]

   Advertisement Tarot Cards Hawkins is frequently shown using a deck of tarot cards for his predictions. He originally used blue cards with a dark gray border and a yellow four-pointed star in the middle over a dark blue burst. After the timeskip, his cards are red with a yellow border and a dark red star over a black burst. In the anime, he went back to using blue cards during the Wano Country Arc.[33]

   Before the timeskip, he would attach them to straw capable of housing a card on each stalk. After the timeskip, he is somehow capable of making his cards levitate in the air while he reads them.[34] The anime shows him still using the straw at first[35] before correcting this later.[36] In the anime, starting in the Wano Country Arc, the cards seem to glow either bluish white or pinkish purple when he uses them.[33]

Floating Cards The cards glowing purple. The artwork of the cards, as shown during the Wano Country Arc, is similar to the Rider–Waite designs, only with the people depicted as skeletons. The Death card, however, has a unique design, different from the real world deck.[37][38]

   Hawkins also uses his cards in combat by drawing them and whatever effect they have on them. However, doing so is a double-edged sword, with the results as likely to be detrimental to him and his forces as being beneficial to them. He claims that the more risk he bears, he will have a greater chance of being granted a good card. The effects of a card can change depending on whether it is drawn reversed or not. During the fight, Hawkins will use the affects alternatively between the two sides.[37][38]Devil Fruit Further information: Wara Wara no Mi Hawkins manifesting voodoo dolls. Hawkins manifesting voodoo dolls.

   Hawkins ate the Wara Wara no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to create and manipulate straw. He can cover himself in straw-armor, create straw weapons, and make a large scarecrow-like straw effigy to aid his offense. These creations also gain nail-based weapons.

   By using his straw to create straw voodoo dolls, he is able to transfer any physical damage inflicted upon him to another person whom the respective doll is connected to, leaving him unharmed but forcing his victim to take the damage that he would have. However, only so much damage can be passed to his victim. While the exact amount is unknown, once enough damage is dealt, the doll will be shed from his body with the wound visible on it, unable to be used again. He can hold up to 10 dolls in his body at once.

   Tactical Skills Hawkins is a rather tactical and pragmatic Captain, compared to the others among the Worst Generation, most known for committing some of the boldest and dangerous actions. His most infamous and cold-hearted tactic relies on the creation of Straw Dolls, who would be linked to several people, using them as substitutes to take the damage and life-threatening injuries, almost giving him the appearance of being untouchable.[39] Hawkins see situations from the practical side, often aided through his fortune telling, not seeing the point in standing against the Four Emperors, such as Kaidou and Big Mom. In facing Law and Killer, Hawkins planned ahead of time, making Straw Dolls linked to Penguin, Shachi, Bepo,[40] and Eustass Kid ahead of time to gain some leverage against them.[41] However, such strategies failed against Law and Killer, the former intended on taking the three out alongside Hawkins, whereas the latter figured out a major loophole behind the Straw Dolls.[22][42]

   Hawkins has great skill in swordsmanship supplemented with his Devil Fruit powers. He wields a sword created out of the straws produced by his power, allowing him to form a flexible yet sharp whip-like single-edged blade. He used it to pierce a lizard that was thrown at his direction, stopping the creature from crashing into him. Hawkins can also use the pommel as a medium to produce his "Straw Man's Card" puppet, and to guide the puppet's movements.[43]

   Advertisement Haki Main article: Haki Observation Haki Hawkins possesses the ability to use Observation Haki. During his first encounter with Trafalgar Law, Hawkins sensed his strength before their confrontation and judged Law to be "powerful" despite not knowing his identity at the time due to the latter's disguise.[44]

   Armament Haki Hawkins possesses the ability to use Armament Haki.[45]

   Weapons Further information: Warabide Sword The Warabide Sword is a long, thin double-bladed longsword. The main feature of the Warabide Sword is that its composition is made of straw with the power of Hawkins' Devil Fruit, the Wara Wara no Mi.

   History Past Hawkins was born in the North Blue, 31 years prior to the current storyline. Growing up, he became familiar with the characters from the popular comic strip Sora, Warrior of the Sea. Years later, Hawkins decided to become a pirate, forming his own crew, the Hawkins Pirates, traveling the Grand Line and became an infamous enough pirate to earn a bounty of Beli249,000,000 before reaching the Sabaody Archipelago.

   Summit War Saga Sabaody Archipelago Arc Hawkins was in a restaurant along with fellow Supernova Capone Bege and Jewelry Bonney with their crews. A waiter accidentally spilled food on one of his crew members. His crewmate complained only to be told by Hawkins it was a very unlucky day for him.[1]

   Upon hearing of Monkey D. Luffy's attack of a World Noble, he was the only one whose position as to leaving or staying was unclear - all he said was that "There is no need to rush. Our destiny has already been decided."[46]

   Kizaru came across Basil Hawkins sitting down, surrounded by his entourage of crewmen while he simply stated that he would not die today.[47] After sitting down and working out his chances against the Admiral, Kizaru attempted to take out Hawkins, only to find that his attacks did not have an effect and Hawkins remained unhurt. He released two straw dolls from his right arm, then stated that ten men would not suffice against Kizaru. The battle is joined by Urouge and X Drake, as well as one of the Pacifista on the archipelago.[48]

   After Kizaru sent Urouge flying, Hawkins activated his "Goma no So" and transformed into a giant scarecrow in liking of a large voodoo doll baring Hawkins' semblance in order to defeat the admiral. He is blinded by the latter who then deduced that Hawkins' ability is not a Logia type as he fired multiple blasts into Hawkins, eliminating the remaining eight voodoo dolls in him. Hawkins would have been killed, had it not been for the intervention of Scratchmen Apoo.[49]

   However, Kizaru reformed himself, dispatched Apoo easily, and then turned his attention to the two remaining Supernovas. After defeating Drake with a light speed powerful kick, Kizaru defeated Hawkins by firing a light-based arrow into his abdomen. The admiral was about to finish him off, when he was suddenly interrupted by his Den Den Mushi, which saves the Magician from death.[50]

   With the ambition of finally bringing the Great War to a decisive conclusion, Imu directed his subordinates the Five Elders to procure Dr. Vegapunk's invention, the Mother Flame,[5] and ordered the Knights of God to annex Elbaph in an invasion that he eventually personally participated in.[6]

   Imu first appeared during the Levely Arc. Due to his status and actions, he is the overarching antagonist in the Egghead Arc, the main antagonist of the Elbaph Arc, and one of the primary overarching antagonists of the Final Saga and the One Piece series as a whole.

   Appearance Imu has only been fully seen while in his partial devil transformation. He is shown to possess unique facial features with a defined nose and mouth, long eyelashes, dark skin, and long light hair that covers his left eye; with sharp, almond eyes with red irises, each having a thin ring around the pupil, with his irises having multiple rings within them. He has two curly horns, long, sharp, black nails, and circuit-like tattoos on his forearms that take the shape of an eye on the back of his hands, a jagged line tattoo from the left side of his face down his left torso, and white dots all over his arms, legs, and torso.

   He wears a cloak over his muscular torso with two Covenant symbols on the back, a furry belt with two thick rings attached to it over a striped cloth, baggy pants, spiked bracelets on each arm, and black pointy shoes.[2] In his partial transformation, Imu's physical size is quite large (though not giant-sized), as he is considerably larger than average-sized humans like Zoro and Sanji.

   In his previously silhouetted appearance, Imu possessed a black, shadowy humanoid figure, with only his eyes being visible. Normally, Imu bears a crown atop his head that has four sharp, incredibly tall spikes on the top and wears an extremely long robe that flows upon the ground a great distance behind him. He is also similar in size to a regular human in this form. Prior to his reveal, when possessing someone via their covenant, the possessed individual's eyes usually change to Imu's, and he was also capable of projecting his shadowy silhouette from their bodies to communicate or attack his enemies, as seen with Saturn and Gunko.[1][3]

   Advertisement Personality Imu is a self-absorbed and callous despot who views himself as God,[7] though has admitted to not seeing much of a difference between being a god or a devil.[8] Imu values total domination and control above all else, believing all humans naturally crave power because it is the only path to satisfaction in the world. Imu believes the entire world solely belongs to him, and views others as nothing more than vessels for his agenda or as enemies standing in the way of the world's "completion".[9] Imu has shown no care whatsoever for the subjects he rules over, and so was unbothered when Rocks D. Xebec attempted to leverage five captive Levely kings.[10] Imu is even perfectly willing to commit genocide against nations affiliated with the World Government for the sole purpose of conveniently testing new weapons at the government's disposal, having targeted the Lulusia Kingdom to test the Mother Flame's power on for no other reason than its proximity. Even the Five Elders were taken aback by this request, but Imu calmly asserted that the many lives in Lulusia were of no importance.[11][5]

   Despite his craving for total power, Imu has been content to rule over the World Government from the shadows, and has made his very existence one of the world's greatest taboos.[12] Imu has been known to reveal himself to outsiders as he sees fit, but even this will carry a death sentence for the other party.[13][4] Only in truly desperate situations will Imu decide to take direct action; by the time the Knights of God moved to annex Elbaph, the suffering of Mary Geoise caused by the Revolutionary Army's blockade caused Imu to view that the giants must be turned to the government's side as soon as possible, and so he brought his own powers to the fray by possessing Gunko's body[7] and later went there himself despite the apparent physical toll.[14] The presence of the Davy Family on God Valley was also deemed important enough for Imu to personally intervene in the God Valley Incident.[9] Imu has shown no disposition toward diplomacy or negotiation, instead forcibly taking whatever he desires using his control and coercion abilities. Although his plans for Harald and Elbaph went completely against the giant king's intentions and were a betrayal of his service to the World Government, Imu did not care about Harald's say in the matter and simply resorted to using the Covenant to bend Harald to his will;[15] however, Harald was able to resist long enough to enable his death and foil this plot. Imu did not change this approach in the World Government's next attempt to conscript Elbaph into their service, as he is once again resorting to force to subjugate the giants.

   Many, if not all, of Imu's goals and desires revolve around figures and events that were relevant during the time of the Great War and World Government's founding. He has a particular obsession over the spreading of the Poneglyphs across the world and Nefertari D. Lili's role in that, referred to by Imu as her "great mistake."[4] He is shown to possess fatalist beliefs, having expressed the idea that the forces and parties behind the initial Great War will play the same role in the present day—though this has not prevented Imu from attempting to alter this supposed destiny, as evidenced by his efforts to bend Elbaph to his will.[14] Imu has given considerable credence to inherited will and treats the descendants of past enemies equivalently to their ancestors who once directly opposed him long ago, believing it is inevitable that this enmity will manifest in the present day.[16] Notably, Imu has been shown referring to modern-day foes by the name of the one whose will and/or power they have inherited, having called Rocks "Davy Jones" and Luffy "Joy Boy".[9][17] Imu has been seen visiting relics of the past, including a giant straw hat[1] as well as a portrait of Lili that hangs on the wall despite Imu's seeming animosity toward her.[18]

   For the most part, Imu possesses a calm and equanimous disposition. When not at the Empty Throne, he is typically found in the Room of Flowers, staying still and handling butterflies while being attended to by special servants.[3][10] In typical conversation, even with non-World Nobles, Imu tends to maintain an air of politeness and avoid petty rudeness. However, he does still show a domineering side in these exchanges by bluntly dictating the topic of discussion, as he explicitly refused to answer Cobra's question about his identity and made clear that he would only answer what Cobra had originally come to ask about Lili and the D.[4] With subordinates, Imu similarly keeps them in line by giving strict orders and may question faltering maneuvers, but has not been shown to target them with petty insults.[19] Even when engaging in combat, Imu rarely displays strong emotion and simply focuses on attacking his targets; however, he does have an inclination toward inflicting brutal injuries in combat, such as when he casually severed Brogy's hand with a pistol[19] and later maimed Gerd and Stansen with his blade.[20] Imu does not blink in the face of most threats, being secure in his ability. Notably, he barely reacted when Rocks invaded the Room of Flowers, despite this action being unprecedented in history and Rocks having killed a Marine Admiral shortly before, as both parties knew the pirate could not threaten Imu.[10] In the rare event that Imu's power is actually challenged, he has shown strong reactions, as seen when Joy Boy's Supreme King Haki was released on Egghead.[21] Imu cares greatly for his body's preservation, and because granting Covenants inflicts a toll on him should a Covenantee be killed, he will avoid sending subordinates places where they may legitimately face mortal peril.[16]

   Imu raging at even the thought of his old enemy Joy Boy. Imu raging at even the thought of his old enemy Joy Boy.

   However, Imu tends to become emotional when dealing with memories or remnants of his contemporaries from the Void Century. His discussion with Cobra about Lili provoked him into going on the offensive; Imu then showed visible rage when he learned that Sabo had witnessed the whole event, going as far as to transform and pursue him.[4] Imu notably screamed in agony upon sensing Joy Boy's Haki eight centuries following the latter's death,[21] and his rage compelled him to kill Elder Jaygarcia Saturn for allowing the new "Joy Boy", Monkey D. Luffy, to escape.[17] Later on Elbaph, Imu screamed in anger while recounting one of his interactions with Joy Boy. But in a similar vein, Imu may even smile and show some degree of glee upon recalling seemingly better relationships, such as with Nidhöggr.[8]

   Imu uses the unique first-person pronoun "Mu" (ムー, Mū?), seemingly derived from his name, as well as the unique second-person pronoun nushia (ヌシア?) for others.

   Advertisement Relationships World Government Imu withholds his existence from everyone but the Five Elders and full-fledged Knights of God. These groups are completely loyal to Imu and treat the ruler with great respect. They refer to Imu as "Imu-sama" (VIZ: "Great Imu") and by the title "Boss" (御大, Ontai?, VIZ: "Great One").

   Five Elders The Five Elders humbly bow before Imu, the true ruler of the world. The Five Elders humbly bow before Imu, the true ruler of the world.

   The Five Elders show their immense respect toward Imu by going as far as to prostrate themselves in the ruler's presence. They have never resisted any command given by the ruler; at most, when Imu ordered the annihilation of the Lulusia Kingdom they were taken aback by this request and sought reasoning, but obeyed without any further hesitation. In this exchange, Marcus Mars stated that the state of the world would be as "the creator" wills it.[11] The Elders understand that any outsider that learns of Imu's existence must be eliminated to maintain the illusion of peace and equality among the allied nations, which is why they assisted in the assassination of Nefertari Cobra and joined their sovereign in a failed attempt to kill Sabo.[4] At worst, the Elders may question a decision from Imu, but nevertheless accept it if rebuffed. For unknown reasons, the more tenured Elders view the outcome of Imu leaving Mary Geoise as so perilous that they would go so far as to plead for their king to reconsider; only the recently appointed Figarland Garling showed no willingness to question Imu.[14]

   It is inherently implied that Imu has sufficient faith in the Elders' ability to serve as the public face of the World Government and execute decrees on his own accord. However, sufficient failure on the part of an Elder can lead to Imu revoking their title and killing them with seemingly no remorse, as happened with Jaygarcia Saturn, while refusing to listen to Saturn's desperate pleas and excuses. Despite Saturn's more than two centuries of service, Imu was angered enough following the Egghead Incident in which Saturn allowed Monkey D. Luffy, whom Imu referred to as "Joy Boy" to escape. Imu replaced Saturn with Figarland Garling even before killing the former and elected to have Garling inform the other Elders of his promotion rather than explaining the circumstances himself, a move that unnerved Saturn's former contemporaries.[17]

   Knights of God The Knights of God all serve Imu with absolute reverence, regarding him with respect and humility. Imu, on the other hand, admonished the ones sent to conquer Elbaph for their tardiness in light of Mary Geoise's hour of need. Imu does, however, respect the Knights enough to have a cordial conversation with Sommers and Killingham, answering their questions calmly.[7][19] Despite Imu's general apathy for even the closest subordinates, he would nevertheless be concerned for their lives if knowing they could be killed by some external force, if only for self-preservation as it seems he would suffer damage should anyone with a Depths or Abyssal Covenant die outside of his own will.[16]

   Advertisement Gunko Imu has a particularly close relationship with Manmayer Gunko, as the Knight has served as his personal attendant for the last six decades and the two have regularly been seen together in the Room of Flowers.[10] Imu also chose to possess Gunko out of the three Knights present on Elbaph.[7] The reasons for Gunko's special relationship with Imu are not currently known. Imu seems to be very possessive of Gunko, becoming increasingly furious at her for regaining her memories and personality, while lashing out at Brook for repeatedly calling out for her by her birth name, "Shuri".[22]

   Harald Imu observed the king of Elbaph, Harald, during his many years of service as a Devoted Blade of God, and eventually coronated him into full knighthood. However, Imu viewed Harald as nothing more than his servant, and did not respect the king's desire for his nation to be peacefully registered with the World Government, instead ordering Harald to mobilize the giants as slave soldiers. Harald, realizing that Imu, and by extension, the government, never intended to honor his hard work and desire for Elbaph to connect with the rest of the world, came to loathe him for this disrespect and treachery, and defied Imu with all his might. When Loki successfully killed Harald, this reminded Imu that despite the rare opportunity for an Ancient Giant like the king would submit himself to the World Government, it was bound to end in failure and disappointment due to Elbaph being from the Clan of D.[16] To this day, Imu remains frustrated at the late giant king for his defiance that denied him the giants' military might.

   Clan of D. Imu possesses an immense hatred for those who bear the letter D. as the middle initial of their names, due to it being the moniker of an "ancient enemy". For this reason, he became angered when Cobra admitted that his ancestor, Lili, also had it.[4]

   Rocks D. Xebec Rocks D. Xebec learned of Imu's existence and desired to dethrone the shadow monarch to take his place as ruler of the world. Imu, however, initially paid no mind to the pirate's threats and dismissed him as a minor nuisance.[10] Upon learning that Rocks was part of the near-extinct Davy Family, descendants of Davy D. Jones, Imu arrived at God Valley by possessing Saturn to ensure Rocks' death was a top priority due to a certain "promise" that led to the Davy Family's near erasure.[9] Imu went as far as to convert Rocks into a demon so he could hunt down and kill both his wife and son.

   Advertisement Davy D. Jones Imu is familiar with the legendary pirate Davy Jones on a personal level. When meeting Rocks again on God Valley, Imu referred to him as Davy Jones himself (similar to how he referred to Luffy as Joy Boy).[9] According to Xebec, Imu fears Jones on the same level as Joy Boy, which only angered Imu as he claimed that neither of them would ever return once the Davy Family's bloodline was exterminated, showing a deep personal hatred against Davy D. Jones, especially when Xebec claimed that his ancestor was the first "king of the world", as Imu angrily rebuked this by claiming that he was never a king for even a moment, and that Xebec had no right to comment on the fate that bound Imu and Davy together.[23]

   Nefertari Family Imu shows great disdain for the Nefertari Family, particularly because of the actions of Queen Lili during the Void Century that resulted in the dispersing of the Poneglyphs across the world, which he suspects was no mere accident. However, despite this disdain, Imu seemingly keeps a portrait of Lili inside Pangaea Castle to look at for unknown reasons.[24]

   Despite his utter contempt for Lili, Imu was polite to her descendant King Cobra, although he fully intended to kill Cobra when the conversation ended because he had become aware of Imu being the shadow ruler of the world. Hostilities intensified when Imu learned that Arabasta's royal family had the initial "D." in their names. When Cobra sacrificed himself to ensure that Sabo escaped Mary Geoise, Imu was greatly angered.[4]

   Imu has also developed an interest in Princess Vivi for currently unknown reasons. After she escaped the custody of CP0, Imu ordered the Five Elders to capture and bring her to him.[5]

   Joy Boy Imu and Joy Boy sometime in the past. Imu and Joy Boy sometime in the past.

   Imu appears to be familiar with Joy Boy on a personal level, as he was kneeling in pain after Joy Boy's Supreme King Haki was unleashed during the Egghead Incident, instantly recognizing that the Haki used to belong to him.[21] Imu regards stopping Joy Boy's second coming, manifested in the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika's awakening of Monkey D. Luffy, as of the utmost importance and even went as far as to kill Saturn of the Five Elders for allowing Luffy, whom Imu referred to as "Joy Boy", to escape.[17] According to Xebec, Davy D. Jones and Joy Boy are the two beings Imu fears above all else.[23]

   Curiously, Imu's relationship with Joy Boy did not always seem antagonistic, though reminiscing about their friendlier encounters enraged Imu in the present. However, remembering this scene seemed to fill him with extreme rage afterwards, indicating something terrible came between them that made them sworn enemies.[8]

   Imu was familiar with the Warrior God (whom he has referred to as "Nidhöggr", after the beast the Warrior God transformed into), as well as his squirrel companion Ratatoskr. Not much is known about his relationship with them, but given that he smiled upon seeing a transformed Loki and Ragnir, it would suggest a more positive view on his part compared to his feelings about Joy Boy and Lili. However, he has also called Nidhöggr "traitor".[25]

   Abilities and Powers “ Allow Mu to show you the dominance of God!!! ” — Imu[7]

   As the King of the World who occupies the Empty Throne, Imu possesses singular and unimpeachable control over the entire World Government. He commands the Five Elders, who are publicly considered the government's highest authorities,[3] and has the sole authority to revoke an incumbent Elder's title and replace them should the need arise.[17] Imu also has the authority to command the Knights of God, an elite group of powerful Celestial Dragon warriors who publicly oversee affairs on Mary Geoise, and many of the Elders' and Knights' abilities are bestowed upon them by Imu.

   In addition to his illimitable political authority, it is apparent that Imu's individual combat abilities are among the most powerful in the world. Imu's mere presence is enough to put the strongest of warriors on high alert and understand he is not an opponent to be engaged recklessly.[20][8] He did not react even when the notorious pirate Rocks D. Xebec committed the unprecedented feat of confronting him personally in the Room of Flowers; despite having killed a Marine Admiral immediately prior, Rocks acknowledged that there was nothing he could do against Imu.[10] Years later during the God Valley Incident, Imu (while possessing Saturn) took on Rocks, several of his subordinates who would go on to become Emperors of the Sea, the future Pirate King Gol D. Roger, and Monkey D. Garp singlehandedly and had no issues doing so, as Imu quickly managed to subdue Rocks and turn him against the others. In the present day, Imu directly intervened in the Knights' invasion of Elbaph; although the mission had been going well already, it was understood that the ruler's arrival would hasten the subjugation of the island of giants even more quickly. Using his Devil Fruit powers, Imu quickly subdued the Giant Warrior Pirates, including their captains Dorry and Brogy, transforming them into demons.[19] When confronted by Roronoa Zoro and Sanji, two of the strongest fighters in the Emperor led Straw Hat Pirates, Imu was easily able to withstand each of their attacks and dispatched them both with a single counter-attack each.[20]

   Notably, Imu appears to have possession of one of the Ancient Weapons,[26] which is powered by the Mother Flame invented by Dr. Vegapunk. This weapon, which floats in the sky above the target location, can effect the total annihilation of an entire island within seconds, which it did to the Lulusia Kingdom.[11]

   In spite of possessing great power, Imu does appear to suffer from some sort of ailment that causes him to become visibly sick and bleed internally in the event he leaves Mary Geoise.[14] This ailment is known to the Elders and Knights, with Shepherd Sommers stating that Imu's body is "not meant to withstand" the outside world.[27]

   Advertisement Physical Abilities In his devil form at the very least, Imu has shown himself to be an adept melee combatant, being capable of using his legs to attack Sanji and parry the pirate's own powerful kicks. Imu is extremely fast, having moved from the top of Aurust Castle to the Western Village near-instantaneously. He can cut off opponents' limbs before they even have time to register his attack, and caught Sanji off-guard with the speed of his kicks despite the pirate being exceptionally fast himself and possessing strong Observation Haki.[20]

   Swordsmanship Imu is an exceptionally skilled blade wielder. When confronting the New Giant Warrior Pirates, he precisely cut off the giant Gerd's fingers using flying slashes while meters away in order to free Shepherd Sommers from her clutches; he did this so quickly that Gerd did not realize she had been maimed until her fingers and Sommers had nearly hit the ground. Immediately after this, he cleaved through Stansen's leg with a single quick cut intended against Hajrudin.[20]

   Immortality Main article: Immortality Imu possesses an immortal and seemingly unaging body; in addition to having lived for over 800 years since the Void Century while still having the appearance of a reasonably young adult, Imu's immortality also allows him to regenerate from any attack no matter how strong. It is theorized by Emporio Ivankov that the "Perennial Youth Operation" performed by a former user of the Ope Ope no Mi is responsible for this.[28] Notably, Imu is capable of bestowing this immortality on his covenantees, with some (though not all) also being unaging.

   Devil Fruit Main article: Akuma no Mi Imu's partially transformed appearance. Imu's partially transformed appearance.

   Imu possesses the power of the Akuma no Mi, which allows him to transform into a devil.[2] The transformation boosts Imu's size and grants him wings to fly with as well as a pointed tail that can pierce opponents and clash with blades. Furthermore, Imu has shown the ability to manifest a considerable number of esoteric symbols and substances which grant powerful applications. These include magic circles called the Abyss which enable instantaneous transportation, black flames called Omen which serve as devastating projectiles, and a book which can summon weapons.[19][20]

   Imu is capable of granting at least some of these abilities to other people by marking them with Covenants. Imu has bestowed these Covenants on the Five Elders and Knights of God, making them immortal and granting them usage of the Abyss. In return for granting these powers, Imu becomes capable of controlling and even possessing covenantees, though the level of control depends on the amount of power granted by the Covenant.[15] Because of his ailment that discourages leaving Mary Geoise directly, should Imu decide to personally intervene in a conflict, he typically possesses one of his subordinates.[19][29]

   Imu can also transform enemies into demons using another form of Covenant, granting them immortality and a mindless bloodthirsty disposition that serves Imu well on the battlefield.[19]

   Advertisement Haki Further information: Haki Supreme King Haki Imu uses Supreme King Haki. Imu uses Supreme King Haki.

   Imu is one of the few people in the world able to use Supreme King Haki. When possessing Gunko's body, powerful waves of Haki began to radiate out from her body, resembling black lightning.[7] Imu is capable of unleashing Supreme King Haki over a vast area to incapacitate multiple giants across Elbaph, including warriors of the Giant Warrior Pirates.[19] This burst of Haki was so powerful and potent that numerous powerful fighters among the Straw Hat Pirates, a crew whose captain is an Emperor, reacted with shock, with Loki commenting that it was "preposterous".[30] When Imu appeared in person on Elbaph, Gaban noted that the Haki he felt from him was greater than anything he had ever experienced, even during the God Valley Incident.[20]

   Observation Haki Imu is capable of using Observation Haki. During the God Valley Incident, he used it to sense Eris and an infant Teach, Rocks' wife and son, fleeing through the forest on God Valley.[9] Imu was also able to identify Joy Boy's Supreme King Haki when it was unleashed on Egghead, even though he was physically in Mary Geoise at the time.[21]

   Weapons Glaive Imu wielding a long glaive. Imu wielding a long glaive.

   Imu's main weapon appears to be a long glaive-like polearm with a curved, zigzagging blade. The other end of the shaft, the pommel, is covered in Omen and can be shapeshifted into various weapons, such as a cannon,[31] a mace, a swordstaff, and a flail.[8]

   Others Imu Gunko Devil Form Imu wielding a large trident while possessing Gunko. Imu Abyss Cannon Summon Imu summoning cannons from an Abyss circle. Evil Book Weapon Creation Imu's book summoning weapons from his grimoire-like book. While possessing Gunko's body, Imu manifested a large black trident with arrow-shaped prongs. He appeared to use this weapon in the creation of an Abyss portal to summon a pair of cannons.[19] Using his mystical book, Imu manifested a dagger that he used to stab Brogy's hand and free himself from the giant's grip, and then a huge double-barrelled flintlock pistol that was powerful enough to blast straight through Brogy's arm and sever the giant's hand from his body.[19]

   Imu also possesses a saber, which he used to cut apart and stab wanted posters and photographs.[3]

   Advertisement History Past As one of the First Twenty, Nerona Imu lived during the Void Century and reigned over an unknown kingdom. He allied himself with 19 other kingdoms to battle the Great Kingdom in the Great War. Around this time, Imu developed an enmity with Joy Boy, an enemy of the Alliance who was also the first pirate, and Davy D. Jones, who has been stated to have once been the King of the World. The Alliance was ultimately victorious and formed the World Government, with Imu abdicating his original kingdom to live in Mary Geoise with the rest of the Creators.[2] The World Government moved to eliminate all records of the Great War in the prior century, but Poneglyphs bearing these records ended up scattered around the world due to involvement from Imu's fellow Creator Nefertari D. Lili. As far as Imu knew, this incident was considered a "mistake", but he has since suspected it to be intentional on Lili's part.[4]

   Through unknown means, Imu was granted eternal youth and immortality; it has been speculated by Emporio Ivankov that the Ope Ope no Mi's "Perennial Youth Operation" may have been responsible, and its usage on Imu caused its concept to spread through history.[28] Because he was immortal, Imu outlived his fellow Creators. Although the Creators constructed the Empty Throne as a monument to signify that the world would never be ruled over by one person, at some point Imu claimed the throne and took the title of King of the World.[2] Due to his status as a Creator, Imu was able to exert authority over the following generations of World Nobles; eventually, the majority of them ceased to know about Imu's continued existence, with only the Five Elders and Knights of God being aware.

   Imu is confronted by Rocks D. Xebec. Imu is confronted by Rocks D. Xebec.

   56 years ago, during the Levely of that year, five kings were kidnapped. Imu expressed little concern about their lives when the perpetrator, Rocks D. Xebec, infiltrated the Room of Flowers. Rocks menacingly declared his intention to return in the future and left before Imu could say anything.[10]

   Imu prepares to use Domi Reversi on Rocks. Imu prepares to use Domi Reversi on Rocks.

   38 years ago, during the God Valley Incident, Imu contacted Saturn about the status of Rocks' life. Imu was furious to learn that Rocks was still alive and that something else risked being unleashed if things continued to go awry from his original plans. Wishing to prevent such things from taking place, Imu descended on God Valley and possessed Saturn.[29] Imu used Saturn's claws to attack pirates and Marines alike just for being in his vicinity before being confronted by Rocks. Imu referred to the pirate as Davy Jones, and Rocks affirmed his intention of keeping a promise his ancestor made. During the two's battle, Gol D. Roger, Monkey D. Garp, Edward Newgate, Charlotte Linlin, and Kaidou came in and, alongside Rocks, struck Imu with powerful attacks, though Imu quickly recovered. Imu then elevated his face and spotted Rocks' wife and son running through another part of God Valley. Expressing the desire to eliminate them, Imu was cut apart by Rocks, but then pierced the pirate with tendrils and invoked Domi Reversi.[9]

   Rocks managed to resist the transformation, instead using the last of his consciousness to taunt Imu about his fear of Davy Jones and Joy Boy. Imu was able to turn the argument around by mentioning his plans to subjugate Elbaph in the future, drawing Rocks' anger and completing the transformation. As Imu released Rocks, he issued a single order: end Davy Jones' dream by slaying his remaining family and eliminate anyone who gets in the way. Imu stood by as Rocks did as ordered, quickly defeating his subordinates before making his way over to kill his wife and son. Due to interference by a young Bartholomew Kuma, however, the pair were safely "pushed" away to an unknown location. As Imu was unable to see this occur, he assumed the job was done and redirected Rocks to kill everyone remaining on God Valley.[23] As Rocks became locked in an intense battle with Garp and Roger, Imu saw no further need for his presence and exited the island on a government ship. Issuing orders through Saturn, he declared that God Valley never existed.[32]

   Not long after this incident, Imu overheard King Harald of Elbaph pleading at Marineford for the World Government to allow him to serve them and atone for Elbaph's past sins.[33] Fourteen years later, Imu decided to grant Harald membership in the Knights of God as a Devoted Blade.[34] After another ten years, Harald gained the opportunity to receive full knighthood, and Imu revealed himself to the giant on the Empty Throne. Harald had just declared that he intended to abdicate the throne of Elbaph, but Imu told him he would decide that before invoking the Depths Covenant on the giant. Imu ordered Harald to summon an Abyss on Elbaph, promising that the giant nation would officially join the World Government as Harald had long wished for.

   Imu threatens Harald. Imu threatens Harald.

   Once Harald installed the Abyss, Imu ordered him to round up Elbaph's population to form an army in the World Government's service. Harald objected, as he had intended for his nation to become a peaceful society, but Imu disregarded his protests and said he would use the Depths Covenant to ensure the king's obedience.[15] However, Harald would be killed by his son Loki soon afterwards, and the death of a Covenant bearer inflicted a cost on Imu, leaving him breathing heavily as he spoke with the Five Elders. Imu rejected the proposal to send Knights of God to investigate the incident, fearing that they would meet the same fate as Harald. Noting how unusual Harald was in the context of Elbaph's history but that aligning with him failed regardless, Imu was certain that Elbaph, calling them "D.", was completely incompatible with the World Government and could not be carelessly incorporated into its forces.[16]

   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]

   "Kamazo" sheds tears through his smile. "Kamazo" sheds tears through his smile.

   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.

   Enemies Basil Hawkins Killer cuts off Hawkins' arm. Killer cuts off Hawkins' arm.

   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]

   Advertisement Haki Main article: Haki Killer possesses the ability to use Armament and Observation Haki.[30]

   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.

   After a long voyage following one of the Log Pose routes of the Grand Line, Kid and his crew came to 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]

He is also one of twelve pirates who are referred to as the "Worst Generation".[11] He and his crew came from West Blue, where Bege was one of the heads of the Five Families of the West.[3] During the timeskip, he became a subordinate of Charlotte Linlin[2] and married Charlotte Chiffon. The two have a son named Capone Pez.[12] While working under the Big Mom Pirates, he held a position of a rook-ranked combatant.[13]

   Due to his allegiance and actions, he is the secondary antagonist of the Zou Arc. Later, Bege formed a temporary alliance with the Straw Hat Pirates in order to kill Big Mom during the Whole Cake Island Arc.[14] After his plan failed, Bege effectively became an enemy of the Emperor and her crew.

   Sometime during the timeskip, his bounty increased from Beli138,000,000 to Beli300,000,000.[8] After the events of the Whole Cake Island Arc, it has increased to Beli350,000,000.[7]

   Appearance Bege is a short man with a stocky build whose appearance is somewhat similar to that of a Mafia boss. He sports an oiled-up and slicked-back hairstyle befitting that of a crime don. His facial features have a very stern look to them, further accentuated by his rather sharp but hooking beak-like nose. He also has five o'clock stubble on his upper lip.

   He wears black-and-white pinstriped attire, complete with a green scarf around his neck, with the excess tucked inside the suit (making it look like a cravat). Like Crocodile, Bege wears very expensive golden rings with precious stones mounted on them, but because Bege has two hands, all his fingers (including the thumbs) have them.[1] As for his personal effects, he has a pirate captain's coat with red and gold trimming[15] and a fedora hat, both of which he only seems to wear for traveling purposes. He is often seen smoking a cigar, except when eating.[16]

   In an SBS Volume 64, Oda drew the Supernovas as children. Bege is shown as a kid with curlier hair and a shorter and rounder head. He wore a shirt and tie. He was also depicted as playing with guns, knives, and a fortress made of blocks, referencing his Devil Fruit abilities.[17]

   After the timeskip, he grew a thick goatee and now wears a darker hat. During the Zou Arc, he sported a pair of sunglasses resembling those worn by Pekoms.[18] During the Whole Cake Island Arc, Bege wore a rose on the left breast of his suit, keeping it in subsequent appearances.[12]

   Despite being a notorious pirate and a former mobster with a shady reputation, Bege cultivates a refined, sophisticated (yet still frightening) image that is rather appropriate to his mafia roots. He dresses himself in fine suits and enjoys fine dining while on board his ship at sea.[19] He is strongly appalled by things like bad table manners and rudeness, usually maintaining a reserved and calm demeanor.[10] Bege is very particular about cleanliness and hygiene, refusing to have a meeting with anyone who does not present themself properly, forcing even his enemies to do so.[20][21] When meeting Sanji for the first time, he offered him food and drinks in an apparent act of hospitality and politeness. For as long as he is not agitated, Bege appears to be a reasonable pirate who is willing to negotiate and prefers to avoid making a scene, with the intent of dodging unnecessary confrontations with enemies he may find inconvenient, such as an Admiral[15] or a powerful warrior tribe.[22]

   In spite of his apparent seriousness, Bege can be very impatient and ill-tempered, being not at all above injuring other people, even his own crew, should they provoke his ire even in the slightest.[1][23] Though he may not always be inclined to fight, Bege is a fearless man who will not hesitate to confront someone should it prove beneficial or necessary, regardless of how strong they might be. His Devil Fruit plays a large role in that thanks to its defensive, strategic nature and reliance on sheer numbers. When Bege does engage in battle, he tends to just walk into danger on his own, since he can easily summon numerous subordinates at any time and place to fight on his behalf.[24]

   Since his youth, Bege enjoyed causing chaos among rival mobs. Since his youth, Bege enjoyed causing chaos among rival mobs.

   Bege is extremely sadistic and bloodthirsty and is known for decapitating even animals simply for entertainment.[25] He does not crave power himself but rather aims to destabilize the factions in power and watch the resulting struggle for power for his own entertainment. Everywhere he goes, he takes out the leaders of the groups opposing him in order to achieve this, only caring for his opponents' treasure and the bloodshed he will see from them later. His enjoyment of chaos does not exclude that which is caused by someone other than himself.[26] Bege hysterically laughed upon the collapse of the Whole Cake Chateau and the potential fall of the Big Mom Pirates, showcasing how much he is amused by the demise of the mighty and powerful. Despite this bloodthirsty nature, though Bege does have some degree of mercy and self-control. According to Jinbe, while he slaughtered leaders of powerful organizations, he left their subordinates alone and only viciously retaliated when they attempted revenge.[25]

   Bege can be very cunning and pragmatic, not being above taking hostages, bluffing, or shooting people in the back in order to accomplish his goals.[27] Highly opportunistic, Bege is always on the lookout for a potential weakness or opening from the enemy, having no qualms in exploiting it to the maximum. His plan to assassinate Big Mom involved destroying a photo of Mother Carmel, a precious figure of her past, having observed and correctly deduced that she lost her usual incredible toughness while suffering from a mental breakdown caused by the photo being slightly damaged.[28] Later, after he seemingly accepted Oven's demands to surrender for Chiffon's safety, he took a shot at Oven while the latter's guard was down.[29] He also withheld information that his ship could travel on land with tank treads, enabling him to surprise the Big Mom Pirates while retrieving Chiffon and escaping Cacao Island.[30] While those moments may indicate that Bege is highly untrustworthy, he is noted by his wife, Chiffon, to always honor his deals and promises, regardless of the outcome of his schemes.[31] In addition, Sanji has proved that it is possible for Bege to leave his pragmatism aside if he ends up convinced that an alternative can be just as successful, even if it may sound ridiculous in theory.[32]

   Bege has occasionally shown a prideful side, bragging about the fact that he is also part of the Worst Generation, just like Luffy.[8] While he has never shown a specific interest in fame or power, Bege holds his strategic plans in high regard and has the utmost faith in his own tactical wit. His proposals tend to be quite meticulous, making sure that every variable is accounted for and possible setbacks are taken care of (although unpredictable wild cards like Luffy himself can still humorously catch him off guard).[26] Despite his elaborate schemes, Bege never really boasts about the ingenuity or success rate of his plans, but he was still displeased upon reading an article that portrayed and credited Luffy as the mastermind behind Big Mom's failed assassination plot.

   After becoming a father and husband, Bege seems to have lessened his cruel and ruthless behavior to some extent and have pride in raising his own family. He is not above doting on his only son in front of others and shows love towards his wife in various situations.[12] Bege may also show appreciation towards his subordinates or outsiders that he has no hostile relationships with as long as they demonstrate enough competency.[33] However, Bege does not like to be thought of as a good person, finding disgust at the idea of people feeling gratefulness towards him.[34] While Bege outwardly considers empathy towards others to be weakness and cowardliness, unbefitting of pirates,[35] he has shown to deeply care for his family and crew, risking his own life against Big Mom if it meant protecting the few people that are close to him and refusing to abandon them.[36][37]

   In the Funimation Dub, he talks with 1930s gangster slang, such as referring to his eyes as his "own two peepers", or referring to Charlotte Katakuri as "dis Bruno".

   Advertisement Relationships Family Charlotte Chiffon Bege providing a birthday party for his wife, Chiffon. Bege providing a birthday party for his wife, Chiffon.

   Bege married Charlotte Chiffon to seal his alliance with Big Mom. The two are happily married,[12] and Chiffon cares about Bege.[38] Chiffon supported Bege's plan to assassinate her mother,[39] declaring that Bege and Pez are the only family she'll ever need.[21] When Bege (while in his Big Father form) came under attack by a furious Big Mom, Chiffon worried greatly for her husband's well-being and quickly came to his defense by pleading for her mother to spare Bege, though this proved to be a useless gesture.[40] As Big Mom was attacking him, Bege showed that he deeply cares about Chiffon, calling her his beloved wife whom he refuses to allow to die.[36]

   When Chiffon agreed to go with Pudding in order to save the Straw Hats from the rampaging Big Mom, Bege objected to Chiffon's decision, worried for her safety.[41] After Bege and his crew escaped Whole Cake Island, he ordered his crew to head toward Cacao Island to get his wife back.[42] When Oven was holding Chiffon hostage, Bege went to rescue her without a second thought and refused to abandon her when Chiffon told him to do so.[37] Upon their reunion, Bege and Chiffon happily embraced each other.[43]

   Bege is willing to obey Chiffon's request to deliver the substitute wedding cake to Funwari Island despite the danger of being chased by Big Mom. When Chiffon said that she wanted to find her twin sister Lola, he stated that his wife's wishes are his as well.

   Capone Pez Pez is Bege and Chiffon's only son, and Bege loves him very much, being willing to make silly faces to make him laugh. He hopes for Pez to grow into a great leader like himself and hold up their family name.[12]

   Bege is also very open in showing his love for his son, often talking to Pez in a very silly and affectionate manner even in front of guests, to the point of even playfully mispronouncing his speech.[44] Due to his fatherly love for Pez, Bege was silently angered and irritated when Caesar threatened to kill Pez if he went back on his promise to set the scientist free after assassinating Big Mom.[45] While facing the threat of the Big Mom Pirates after his assassination attempt on Big Mom failed, Bege showed his resolve to protect his family, including his son.[36]

   All the members of the Fire Tank Pirates were originally gangsters of an enormous mafia led by Bege as one of the Five Families of the West. After Bege set sail for the seas as a pirate, they followed him as his crew mates, showing strong loyalty to their leader. Bege's men generally address him as "Father" similarly to the way that Mafia members address their high ranking leader as "Godfather". However, despite their loyalty, Bege does not tolerate any objections from his crew, as he stabbed one with a fork for speaking out in hesitation against his order,[46] and continued to smoke heavily despite his subordinates being inside him.[47]

   While he can be ruthless to his own men for disobedience, Bege does hold strong appreciation and gratitude towards his subordinates.[48] During Big Mom's ruthless attack on his Big Father form, Bege declared his absolute refusal to allow his precious crew to die as they broke out in tears, being touched by his words.[36]

   Enemies Jewelry Bonney Although they only just met in a restaurant in Sabaody Archipelago, the two super rookies had a poor relationship, as Bege saw Bonney's poor table manners to be spoiling the food he was eating. He even asked one of his men to deal with her and then stabbed his subordinate when he refused to cause a scene.[1]

   Advertisement West Blue Underworld Bege has countless enemies among the criminal underworld in the West Blue, thanks to his habit of murdering the leaders of rival mafias and other criminal organizations in order to enjoy the bloody power struggles that followed. When these enemies tried attacking Bege in revenge, Bege would mock their attempts by amusingly laughing out loud while attacking them with his fortress.[49]

   Big Mom Pirates After becoming a subordinate of Big Mom,[2] Bege carried out her orders to the letter and would eliminate anyone, even a fellow member of the Big Mom Pirates, who prevented said orders from being executed to the fullest.[35] Bege married the twenty-second daughter of the family and produced a son, making him a member of the Charlotte Family.[12] However, his loyalties to Big Mom were in reality a ruse, as Bege simply wanted to find a chance to assassinate the Emperor herself.[50] Brûlée in particular was furious at Bege's plan, especially when he voiced intentions to use her abilities in their plot.[51]

   Bege shoots Katakuri, signifying his betrayal of the Big Mom Pirates. Bege shoots Katakuri, signifying his betrayal of the Big Mom Pirates.

   Due to needing time for his plan to be a success, Bege passed off pinning down Luffy as a way to maintain his cover.[52] However, after he witnessed Katakuri becoming pale from seeing a terrible future,[53] Bege refused to comply with his order to kill Luffy and revealed his true nature.[54] Bege aided Luffy in showing Big Mom the destroyed portrait of Carmel and tried to keep Katakuri at bay as the latter and several members of the Big Mom Pirates realized his treachery.[55] After Luffy showed Big Mom the portrait and she screamed, Bege prepared to assassinate the weakened Big Mom alongside Vito and Gotti.[56]

   When his assassination attempt failed, the Big Mom Pirates moved into surrounding Bege and his allies, forcing them to retreat into Bege's giant fortress body.[57] Surrounded with nowhere to run, Bege was soon attacked by Big Mom after she regained her senses and became enraged at his betrayal. While demanding that he show himself with his allies, Big Mom relentlessly damaged the castle and (by extension) Bege, causing the "Gang" to call Big Mom an "old hag."[58]

   After Bege and his allies escaped the castle, the Big Mom Pirates immediately planned to pursue their enemies, including Bege and his crew.[59] Bege for his part, was satisfied with the destruction of the chateau and the chance to humiliate the Big Mom Pirates despite the failure of his assassination plot.[60]

   After Charlotte Oven captured his wife and used her as a hostage to force Bege to surrender, Bege shot Oven in the face for harming her and expressed pride in the act even though his ship was surrounded.[37]

   Advertisement Pekoms Despite being allies, Bege had no problem in shooting Pekoms in the back for being willing to fail his mission due to his own personal feelings, something that Bege thought was pathetic coming from an infamous pirate such as Pekoms.[35] Bege also did not hesitate to leave Pekoms behind[61] after being confronted by Nekomamushi.[62]

   Because of the events of that night, a resentful Pekoms claimed that he would seek revenge on Bege. After Pekoms returned to Totto Land, Bege abducted him and offered the Mink an opportunity to join the Fire Tank Pirates in their plot to assassinate Big Mom. Pekoms strongly refused[63] and mocked Bege for his foolish intentions. To silence him, Bege ruthlessly shot Pekoms off a cliff into shark-infested waters.[64]

   Other Straw Hat Pirates Bege despised Luffy and his crew for the trouble they caused him on the Sabaody Archipelago.[15] During the Zou Arc, he took part in the mission to capture Caesar Clown and bring Sanji to Big Mom's Tea Party for him to be married. He ruthlessly executed his mission, despite Pekoms' differing opinions, and chained up the Straw Hats (minus Sanji, whom he had to treat with care) in his own body.[65] Bege displayed his Devil Fruit superiority to the Straw Hats, transforming the room into weapons and sinking Nami into the floor to threaten Sanji into giving up any hope of escaping.[66] When Sanji freed his crewmates, Bege was angered at this but was unable to go after them due to his mission of returning with Sanji and Nekomamushi's presence.[67]

   Despite these past conflicts, Bege seemed to be willing to ally with the Straw Hats in order to achieve their common goal of defeating Big Mom, if only because it was the most logical choice. However, he did promise to kill Luffy in case the latter proved disagreeable in their negotiations.[68]

   After successfully escaping the Whole Cake Chateau, Bege parted with the Straw Hats on good terms.[69] After risking his life luring Big Mom away from the Straw Hats with the wedding cake, Bege commented that he would not forgive the Straw Hats if they died.

   When Luffy and Bege met, their negotiations were a bit rocky, as Luffy immediately wanted to punch him for hurting Pekoms as Bege dared him to try. However, the two found common ground once Jinbe pointed out they both had something to gain from defeating Big Mom. They reluctantly formed an alliance and began elaborating a scheme to overthrow their shared enemy.[70] Luffy even agreed to be the bait in Bege's plan of assassinating Big Mom, as he found the whole idea to be interesting.[71]

   Despite their multiple grievances with one another, and even in light of their assassination plan failing, the two still treated each other as allies.[72] Bege refused to turn on Luffy despite receiving orders to do so[54] and later provided a safe place for the Straw Hats inside of his Big Father form.[73] Luffy in turn showed great concern for Bege as he endured Big Mom's onslaught, choosing to help back him up against Big Mom and defying orders not to engage the enemy.[74]

   After both of their crews escaped Totto Land, Bege was annoyed that Luffy was named as the mastermind of his assassination plan.

   Advertisement Sanji Bege's initial tense meeting with Sanji. Bege's initial tense meeting with Sanji.

   Initially, Bege was antagonistic towards Sanji, forcing him to comply with Big Mom's invitation to the chef's arranged marriage to Charlotte Pudding by threatening the other Straw Hats that were under his crew's power, as well as making it clear to Sanji that even the Baratie was not safe due to Big Mom's far-reaching connections.

   When meeting with the Straw Hats at his hideout to discuss forming an alliance, Bege mentioned that he contemplated killing them, only for Sanji to casually point out that Bege would ruin his chance to assassinate Big Mom if he did so.

   Thanks to Bege's assassination plot, Sanji was able to rescue his family from Big Mom's treachery. After he helped Sanji transport the substitute wedding cake out of Cacao Island, Bege stubbornly insisted on sabotaging the cake, which went against Sanji's code as a chef. Bege was at first skeptical of Sanji's plan to use his special ingredient until the chef fed Bege the Simsim cream, causing him to relent. As such, Bege developed a strong respect for Sanji and promised not to sabotage the wedding cake until Big Mom's cravings were satisfied; even proclaiming for her to drop dead from its overwhelming deliciousness.

   Jinbe Bege seems to respect Jinbe enough to agree to the meeting the latter proposed between Bege's crew and the Straw Hat Pirates regarding his plans to take down Big Mom. He also believes that Jinbe is not the type of man who would joke about serious issues and would act by his words about Luffy coming to the meeting.[23]

   At the negotiations, it was Jinbe who broke up the brawl between the Straw Hat and Fire Tank Pirates by reminding them that they shared a common enemy in Big Mom.[14] When Katakuri questioned Luffy on how he knew of the significance of Carmel's portrait, Jinbe protected Bege by claiming to be the one who told Luffy about the portrait.[75]

   Caesar Clown Due to Bege and the Big Mom Pirates being tasked with retrieving him, Caesar was very afraid to see him on Zou.[76] Bege forced Caesar into surrendering with a false threat[77] and the scientist was very scared at the thought of being turned over to Big Mom.[78][79]

   On Whole Cake Island, Bege was given Caesar's heart, which he used to place the scientist under his control in order to take advantage of his power to assassinate Big Mom. Though Caesar was reluctant over continued service, he took up the offer after Bege promised to let him go free following the plan's success.[80] However, Caesar threatened the life of Pez if the pirate went back on the deal while Bege considered the scientist a nuisance and disrespectfully referred to Caesar as an "idiot", to the latter's annoyance.[45]

   On the day of the plan, Bege made it clear to Caesar that there would be repercussions if he double-crossed him, as the latter vehemently stated he would not go back on his word since Bege had his heart.[81] After the assassination attempt on Big Mom failed, Bege used Caesar as a means to escape, despite the latter's protests.[82] After successfully escaping the Whole Cake Chateau, Bege gave Caesar his heart back and set him free.[60]

   Advertisement Abilities and Powers As captain of his crew and leader of one of the Five Families of the West, Bege has authority over all those under him. He also had great influence and power over the Underworld operations in the West Blue.[3] As a rook combatant within the Big Mom Pirates, he was given the responsibility of being in charge of the Tea Party's security.[13]

   Bege has an excellent awareness of his surroundings. After taking Nami and Chopper hostage while bargaining with Sanji and Brook at Zou, he knew that Caesar was hiding nearby, while Sanji and Brook were completely unaware of the presence of the three.[77]

   In addition, Bege has a strong will since he did not lose consciousness when Big Mom released a wave of Supreme King Haki upon focusing on the broken picture of Mother Carmel, an event which caused many of the people present to faint.[83]

   Tactical Skills Bege corners Sanji and Brook through a quick ambush strategy. Bege corners Sanji and Brook through a quick ambush strategy.

   Bege is a masterful strategist known for his clever utilization of tactics and trickery, rather than direct physical force, in battle. Contrary to his fellow pirates of the Worst Generation, who defeat their enemies with immense fighting power, Bege has defeated several infamous pirate captains of the Grand Line with his tactical genius alone. Even before he became a pirate; as a mafia don, Bege could ruthlessly and effectively eliminate all of his rival mafias, from their leaders to their vengeful subordinates and hired assassins, through this same ingenuity.[25] After becoming a pirate, his tactical skills and ruthlessness only helped further his pirate career and power his way through the dangerous seas of the Grand Line, to the point where he became infamously known for his success in planning and executing assassinations. In fact, he noted that his failure to assassinate Big Mom was the first plan that ever failed.[84]

   To match his tactical prowess, Bege is extremely observant and analytical of his surroundings, able to detect potential weaknesses in powerful enemies and devise strategies to exploit said weaknesses. During the Mother Carmel photo incident, Bege was able to perceive how Big Mom's body completely lost its tremendous resilience after someone accidentally dropped the photo of Mother Carmel. Bege even managed to estimate the time gap between dropping the photo and when Big Mom's tantrum started.[85] Bege has incredible understanding of psychological warfare, capable of correctly deducing and anticipating an opponent's actions solely by noticing their unconscious behavior, something he demonstrated against Charlotte Katakuri, whose paleness that came as a result of foreseeing of a horrifying future allowed Bege to confidently proceed with his assassination plan.[53] Bege is also a deceptive master of bluffing and coercion. Even Caesar Clown, a highly crafty and manipulative expert liar in his own right, was tricked into surrendering himself thanks to Bege's effective lies about death threats.[77]

   A resourceful man, Bege will employ all manners of convenient people, tools and weapons to ensure the success of his schemes, such as a Seastone spear to capture Logia Devil Fruit users, ear plugs for defense against sonic attacks and a mirror that became an effective escape route thanks to the user of the Mira Mira no Mi being kept under his power.[86] Having joined the Big Mom Pirates with the sole intent of taking out Big Mom himself, Bege carefully covered all his bases to maximize his already unlikely chances of success, utilizing code names in order to confuse Big Mom's children and silencing any homies that could potentially rat out his scheme.

   Bege has a cunning talent for being well-prepared and keeping trump cards hidden from friends and foes alike, pulling them out should the situation call for it. He deliberately kept the Nostra Castello's function to travel on land with tank treads a secret from the Big Mom Pirates, which later allowed the Fire Tank Pirates to rescue Chiffon and escape from Oven without much difficulty. Bege can think and adapt extremely quickly even in dire times of extreme danger, allowing him to come up with improvised maneuvers and tactics should those he executed initially fail to meet the expected result.[87][88]

   Bege's main strategy during combat situations is to use his Devil Fruit abilities to launch ambushes and surprise attacks carried off by his subordinates, a testament to Bege's formidable leadership and opportunistic sense. Bege's soldiers are numerous and tend to quickly move into battle, all while performing with ruthless efficiency, cornering their enemies before they can react and taking weaker individuals as hostages to increase their leverage over stronger targets. It was thanks to this thoroughness that Bege was able to subdue half of the Straw Hat Pirates and hold the reins of their confrontation (as put by Sanji), right after backstabbing Pekoms. Bege was also intelligent enough to keep this whole encounter as quiet as possible, fully knowing that any loud noises could end up alerting the Mink Tribe and thus jeopardize the mission. [35]

   Advertisement Physical Abilities Bege is physically fit and has a strong tolerance to pain, as he could withstand having his body in his Big Father Form being smashed apart by Big Mom while calmly thinking up of a getaway tactic.[36] Shortly after escaping the Whole Cake Chateau, Bege recovered enough to quickly flee despite some bleeding.[89]

   Marksmanship Bege is an extraordinary master in marksmanship. With a Tommy gun, Bege could land multiple accurate shots on Katakuri, which caught the latter off-guard; an extremely notable feat as Katakuri is noted to be an exceptional master of Observation Haki, with the ability to see slightly ahead into the future.[55] From an extremely far distance, Bege managed to fire a direct pistol shot at Charlotte Oven's head with pinpoint precision from his ship at sea, without hurting his wife, Chiffon.[90]

   Due to his Devil Fruit and the cannons and various firearms he houses in his body, Bege's marksmanship skills are further enhanced, giving him and his crew the option and ability to fire cannons and other artillery from within his own body in the form of ambushes.

   Devil Fruit Further information: Shiro Shiro no Mi Bege reveals the fortress features of his body. Bege reveals the fortress features of his body.

   Bege ate the Shiro Shiro no Mi,[8] a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that effectively makes him a miniature fortress. His body is equipped with cannons and he has a small pocket dimension inside his body that resembles the inside of a castle, including furniture.[24] He can also manifest cannon ports and a drawbridge on his person. Anyone or thing that enters his body will be shrunken down and return to normal size once they leave.

   He can house a large number of people within his body, as well as horses, and he can manifest a duplicate of himself within the castle.[91] This gives him a massive force of subordinates to call on at all times, and he can conduct meetings in private. It also gives him a place to keep prisoners. Additionally, Bege can control everything within his castle body.

   The inside of Bege's castle body doesn’t experience any exterior punishment that Bege experiences. If Bege takes a hit from an opponent and gets knocked down, people inside the castle don’t experience any turbulence. The only exception is the manifestation of Bege inside the castle, who gets knocked around as his outer body does.

   He is also capable of changing his body to gain fortress-like attributes, such as tank treads. He can even turn into a gigantic fortress-like golem with immense defensive power.[73]

   Advertisement Weapons Bege's internal body contains several cannons which his subordinates can use in order to fire at nearby targets outside their captain's fortress body.[24]

   Bege has a spear made of Seastone which he had one of his subordinates use in order to restrain Caesar Clown.[92]

   When Bege shot Pekoms on Whole Cake Island, he wielded a simple flintlock pistol, using the same against Oven to save his wife at Cacao Island.[93] For use in assassinating the Vinsmoke Family, he and other members of the Big Mom Pirates were given Walkers.[94] As he betrayed the Big Mom Pirates, Bege pulled out a Tommy gun, which he also favors throughout his adventure at Dressrosa.[95]

   When Big Mom started her strange scream, Bege used a KX Launcher in his attempt to assassinate Big Mom.[56]

   Bege grew up in the West Blue, where he became the boss of one of its Five Families of the West. He quickly became infamous due to quickly bringing down rival mafias by going directly for their bosses. However, he only stole money and precious items from the mafias he brought down, being content to watch the struggle for power that would ensue afterwards without gaining any power of his own. Bege accumulated many enemies, but managed to repel all of them with his Devil Fruit powers.

   He finally grew bored with his dominance on land, and so he decided to set out to sea as a pirate, with his subordinates becoming his official crew, known as the Fire Tank Pirates. As a pirate, he became very infamous, having earned a bounty of Beli138,000,000. However, his methods did not change, as he targeted renowned pirate captains while leaving their crews intact.[49] According to Portgas D. Ace, Bege was already infamous throughout the West Blue between two to four years ago, having been mentioned to have caused a significant impact in the sea.[96]

   Summit War Saga

   Advertisement Sabaody Archipelago Arc Like the other Supernovas, he entered the Sabaody Archipelago after having traversed one of the Grand Line's seven initial paths. He entered a restaurant in Grove 24 and ate while watching Jewelry Bonney's gluttony, disgusted by her lack of manners. Because this was spoiling his meal, Bege ordered his men to shut her up. One of them objected, warning him that they should not cause an incident that would draw the attention of the Marine Headquarters. In response, Bege attacked him with his fork.[1]

   He then witnessed Roronoa Zoro walking in the path of a World Noble, nearly causing the call for an Admiral to the archipelago, if not for the intervention of Bonney. He also noted that even if the Straw Hat Pirates were as crazy as rumors would have it, Zoro was truly insane for drawing his blade against a World Noble.[97] He later read the latest news that Portgas D. Ace, Whitebeard's 2nd division commander, was to be executed in public, much to his shock as most other Supernovas did.[98]

   When he heard how Luffy attacked a World Noble, he ordered his crew to set sail for Fish-Man Island immediately, saying he did not wish to deal with a Marine Admiral.[15] However, he was later surrounded by a horde of Marines all by himself, but he calmly told them that they have already lost in sheer military force, backing it up by calling forth what was essentially a small army from his body, as well as firing small cannons (which expanded into regular sized cannonballs).[91][24]

   Super Rookie 3 Sign In to Save Edit Super Rookie Super Rookie Statistics Japanese Name: 超新星スーパールーキー Romanized Name: Sūpā Rūkī Official English Name: Super Rookie; Supernova First Appearance: Chapter 498; Episode 392[1] Literal meaning: Supernova For the group of infamous pirates who emerged right before the Summit War, including the eleven Super Rookies and Blackbeard, see Worst Generation. Super Rookie, also called Supernova (超新星ちょうしんせい, Chōshinsei?),[1][2][3] is a term that is used to refer to certain rookie pirates who have managed to earn a bounty of over Beli100,000,000. The term has been used particularly in the context of the Sabaody Archipelago, the final destination of all pirates seeking to enter the New World.[1]

   While there is a large overlap in members, Super Rookies are distinct from the Worst Generation, a group of twelve infamous pirates who emerged right before the Summit War of Marineford two years ago.

   Overview Due to the structure of Paradise, eleven Super Rookies reached the Sabaody Archipelago simultaneously with minimal previous contact. Due to the structure of Paradise, eleven Super Rookies reached the Sabaody Archipelago simultaneously with minimal previous contact.

   What exactly defines a Super Rookie is unclear, though it involves particular infamy and a relatively short history as a pirate, as all Super Rookies are still considered "rookie pirates". Since they act as indicators of a pirate's impressiveness and first-impression strength,[4] a pirate's bounty plays a notable role in their determination as a Super Rookie; every Super Rookie has a bounty of at least Beli100 million,[1] to the point that the term "over 100 million rookie" (億越えルーキー, okugoe rūkī?) is sometimes used in its place.[5][6][7][8] In cases where a single Super Rookie is being referred to, this term can be adjusted to reflect their specific bounty, such as Luffy being called a "300 million rookie" (3億のルーキー, san oku no rūkī?).[9]

   Due to the structure of the Grand Line and its branching routes, numerous Super Rookies can rise to prominence at the same time, without ever meeting one another. It appears fairly rare for Super Rookies to meet, especially in large numbers, as noted by Shakky.[1]

   Advertisement Portgas D. Ace Further information: Portgas D. Ace Five years ago, Portgas D. Ace made a name for himself as he formed his crew, the Spade Pirates, and they sailed the Grand Line. His accomplishments resulted in him receiving an invitation to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but he declined it and defeated Marine Vice Admiral Draw on the Sabaody Archipelago. By the time he got to Fish-Man Island, his bounty had risen to over Beli100,000,000.[10]

   While never canonically referred to as a "Super Rookie", Ace was called one by Shanks in the anime.[11]

   Cavendish Further information: Cavendish Two years later, Cavendish gained a high reputation as a rookie, earning a bounty of Beli280,000,000. A year later, the Worst Generation's arrival overshadowed him, causing him to develop a grudge against them.[12] Captain of the Beautiful Pirates, he was forced to flee to sea and become a pirate after inadvertently causing several incidents in the Rommel Kingdom.

   While never canonically referred to as a "Super Rookie", Cavendish is listed as one in the One Piece Card Game.[13]

   Worst Generation Further information: Worst Generation Ten days before the Summit War of Marineford, eleven Super Rookies arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago almost simultaneously. These eleven, alongside Blackbeard, would later be considered the "Worst Generation" (最悪の世代, Saiaku no Sedai?) to ever come to existence, due to their individual actions bringing great (or terrible) changes to the world, leaving deep and lasting impacts.[7]

   Bartolomeo Further information: Bartolomeo One year later, at least one other Super Rookie earned his fame: Bartolomeo the Cannibal, wanted for attacking innocent civilians. He is hated and despised by many people, pirates and citizens alike.[14] Captain of the Barto Club, he was inspired to go to sea after witnessing Luffy's actions.

   Advertisement Caribou Brothers Further information: Caribou and Coribou By the time the Straw Hat Pirates reunited, at least two more Super Rookies had risen: Caribou and his brother Coribou, who are both well known for killing Marines.[15] Though both brothers are considered impressive in their own right, they are generally considered to be of a lower caliber than the Worst Generation.[16] They are co-captains of the Caribou Pirates.

   The Sabaody Archipelago[2] is the final island in Paradise, close to the Red Line.[3] Though it is called an archipelago, it is actually a massive mangrove forest growing out from the middle of the ocean with each tree of the forest serving as an "island" on which people live.[1] Since it is just a group of trees and not an island like those found in the Grand Line, it has no magnetic pull for which to affect a Log Pose.[4]

   This place is notable for being the last island in Paradise visited by the Straw Hat Pirates as a whole before they got separated by Bartholomew Kuma. Two years after the Celestial Dragon Hit-and-Run Incident, the Straw Hats regrouped here once more before departing for the New World.

   It is the main setting of the Sabaody Archipelago Arc and Return to Sabaody Arc.

   The video player is currently playing an ad. General Information Due to the place being in close proximity to the part of the Red Line bordering the first half of the Grand Line and the New World, it is a highly visited rest stop for all sorts of travelers to prepare before entering the New World. Aside from its unique environment and it being a booming business hub, it is notable for the World Nobles who visit there and a thriving slave trade supported by them. One notable slave hunting group are the Rosy Life Riders whose headquarters are several kilometers east of the area.[5]

   Sometime after Sengoku's resignation and Sakazuki taking charge, the base of operations for Marine Headquarters has been relocated to G-1 in the New World. This results in Sabaody Archipelago becoming even more lawless.[6]

   Geography The Sabaody Archipelago is, in actuality, a massive mangrove forest in the middle of the ocean made up of 79 separate trees known as Yarukiman Mangrove. The Yarukiman Mangrove trees are the largest mangroves in the world and are strong enough to grow from the bottom of the ocean to the top. Each tree is called a grove and serves as an island on which people live. People can get from one grove to another via the various bridges built connecting around the many tree roots.[7]

   The seventy-nine trees are divided into several different areas, with each one depending on the number of the area.[8]

Although there are several paths that traverse the equatorial ocean, the only two points that cross to the other side (Mary Geoise and Fish-Man Island) are on exactly the same place, with one at the top of the Red Line and the other in a massive tunnel under the Red Line in the depths of the ocean. Because this is the only point where one can cross into the New World, the location of the Sabaody Archipelago makes it ideal for anyone who needs to prepare to cross this section of the ocean by either means. Thus, everyone from the high-ranked nobles to the traversing pirates uses the Sabaody Archipelago as a rest and preparation point as they look back on their previous journeys and prepare to enter the New World.

The Sabaody Marine Base.

   The Sabaody Marine Base is a Marine base located on GR 66 of the Sabaody Archipelago and is responsible for its security. When the Straw Hat Pirates first arrived here, the Marine Base's influence started at Grove 30 and ended up at Grove 79, letting Groves 1 to 29 be a lawless area where pirates and bounty hunters ruled. After the Marine Headquarters' base was moved to the New World, the Marine Base's influence weakened, and the Archipelago became less safe and more difficult to protect.

   Crisis at the Sabaody Archipelago During the preparation for the Summit War of Marineford, the Sabaody Archipelago Marine Base had to protect the Archipelago completely on its own. When it learned that Silvers Rayleigh was going to be sold as a slave, it surrounded the Human Auctioning House with all its troops. After Monkey D. Luffy punched Saint Rosward Charlos and the Straw Hat Pirates attacked the Auction House, the Marine Base was ordered to prevent them, the Heart Pirates and the Kid Pirates from escaping until Admiral Kizaru came with some Pacifistas. The Marine Base failed, as it was completely defeated by the three pirate crews who managed to escape.[40]

   After the Summit War of Marineford, a large tsunami was sent towards Sabaody Archipelago by Blackbeard's newfound earthquake powers. A tsunami warning was made and caused huge panic on the island.[41]

   Two Years Later When the Sabaody Marine Base learned that the Fake Straw Hat Crew was recruiting new members, it sent marines to GR 46 to confirm that they had come back to the Archipelago. After the investigating team "recognized" the Fake Pirates, the Marine Base decided to evacuate the neighboring groves and to send its troops to prepare for battle. The captain of the Science Unit, Sentomaru, told a Marine officer that he was going to Grove 46 ahead with PX-5 and PX-7, explaining that the Marine Base was underestimating the Straw Hat Pirates.

   The Marines sent six platoons to capture the Straw Hats. However, due to various interruptions, they were stalled and were unable to catch them. The reasons were:

   The first platoon (led by Sentomaru) were busy with the pirates gathered by the impostors while PX-5 and PX-7 had been destroyed by Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji; The 2nd (1st back-up) platoon was stalled by Silvers Rayleigh; The 3rd (2nd back-up) platoon was incapacitated by depression (by Perona's Negative Hollows); The 4th (3rd back-up) platoon was attacked by giant beetles (presumably on Heracles orders); The 5th (4th back-up) platoon was unable to pursue due to their gunpowder being wet (due to the Weatheria scientists); The 6th (5th back-up) platoon was unable to pursue due to their passage being blocked by okamas who were "crushing" their hearts. A Marine ship also attempted to stop the Straw Hats from leaving but was stopped by Hancock, who made up an excuse for herself by saying that the Marine ship was in her pathway. In the anime, the giant bird that Chopper came in on also tore down the sails of the ship.

   Advertisement Culture The people native to the Sabaody Archipelago have learned to live both within and alongside the trees and the large bubbles that they create. Each tree houses a different use, many of which are for the various commerce for those who visit the area. Like the trees, the bubbles are also used for many different and varied means, going from transportation devices such as bubble bikes called Bon Chari to personal hotel rooms to even special helmets used by the World Nobles to prevent them from breathing the air of commoners.

   For those who wish to move further along the Grand Line, the mangrove is important in order to stock up on supplies and prepare themselves for the journey to cross the Red Line. Most normal travelers generally stay here and wait until they are given permission to cross the Red Line on foot by Mary Geoise. The rest, such as pirates, must typically seek "coating mechanics" found around the archipelago to cover their ships in the special resin produced by the trees. It is this resin that allows ships to go underwater to Fish-Man Island.

   Slavery and Discrimination Due to the proximity of the archipelago to the holy land of Mary Geoise, World Nobles are sometimes seen going around the place. While they provide the mangrove wealth and prosperity, their views on commoners make life horrible for both the inhabitants and visitors alike. Since they see commoners as completely below them, World Nobles generally expect absolute obedience to be shown. Anyone that crosses their path is expected to bow and give way for them. World Nobles also do what they like around town without question, whether it be taking civilians against their will or shooting them on sight. Anyone who does not coincide with what they do is punished severely.

   Because of how World Nobles view commoners as nothing more than objects that they can freely do whatever they want with, this supports and legalizes a booming slave trading industry that caters to their desires, a practice that is normally banned in the rest of the world. As a result, the mangrove is home to many kidnapping gangs and bounty hunters who do business with the trade. These various slave traders would thus capture anyone who presents a fine prize and sell them to the highest bidder to do whatever they desire. Once sold off to a World Noble, or anybody just rich enough to afford a slave, these slaves, from ordinary people to even the fiercest of pirates, are treated like trash after capture.[42]

   While people from all sorts of trades suffer from Sabaody's slave industry, the ones that suffer the most are Fish-Men and Merfolk. This stems from the fact that Sabaody still holds onto the old notion that these races are classified as just another type of fish. This notion was abolished two hundred years before the current storyline when the World Government allied with Fish-Man Island. Sabaody, however, still practices this horrid fact along with slavery. As a result, since Fish-Men and Merfolk are seen as nothing more than fish, they are captured regardless if they are criminals or not. Most of them are thus forced to stay away from the mangrove. This is such a horrible thing, especially as the childhood dream of most of them can only be found in the mangrove, this being to ride the large bubble Ferris wheel in Sabaody Park. Those that dare to venture into the mangrove to do business, fulfill their childhood dream, or otherwise, must wear disguises and pretend to be human to avoid being captured.[43]

   Advertisement Pirate Activity in Sabaody Being the last stop before going to the New World, pirates land on Sabaody to prepare for the dangers that lie ahead. Pirates must stop here if they wish to have their ship coated so that they may proceed to Fish-Man Island. However, they cannot do things as freely as they did before reaching the mangrove, due to the mangrove being practically next door to both Mary Geoise and Marineford. Pirates are in the most dangerous possible place to be when in Sabaody because of this. Aside from the multitude of strong bounty hunters and kidnapping gangs native to the mangrove, they have to be aware that they may be attacked at any moment by either Marines or by the World Government itself. In fact, because of the proximity to the World Government and its forces, notorious pirates do not even get to roam freely on Sabaody, as they are captured by the Marine forces that are normally stationed in the mangrove unless these forces are attending something else.

   With the various dangers before them in Sabaody, pirates must, therefore, restrain themselves, or else they attract unwanted attention onto themselves. They cannot pillage or even have fights amongst themselves. Above all else, they shouldn't attack any of the World Nobles that frequent the mangrove. Should they attack a World Noble for whatever reason, a large number of Marines led by a Marine admiral are dispatched to eliminate any and every pirate within the mangrove.[42][44] This fact did not, however, keep Luffy from punching one in the face after Hachi was shot by him.

   After the base of Marine Headquarters has been relocated to G-1 in the New World due to the decision of Fleet Admiral Sakazuki, Sabaody Archipelago has become more lawless, with pirates being able to act more freely than before.

   Technology Everything on this island is bubble-based, with the bubbles from the Yarukiman Mangroves used in a variety of fashions. The bubbles can be manipulated into a cart known as a Bon Chari by simply sitting on it. Many other bubbles are used for the rides and attractions of Sabaody Park, including the ferris wheel, drop tower and roller coaster. Bubbles can also be transformed into individualized hotel rooms at certain lodging areas on the island. It is also so far, the only place shown other than Fish-Man Island where coating can be done.
