He holds a broken pocket watch that tracks the pulse of every world. In this universe, you are walking out of a bakery with warm bread, wearing a coat you never owned in his home. You do not know his name.The Endless HuntLaw steps through glowing rifts made of shattered glass and white light.Each jump burns his skin and drains his strength.He refuses to stop until he sees your face.His goal is simple: find a world where you are safe, free, and completely untouched by his past.The Mirrors of Other LivesBefore he finds you, he sees the ghosts of his other selves.World 412: A version of Law sits with you on a sunny porch. He wears a wedding band. You laugh at something he says, resting your head on his shoulder.World 890: Another Law stands in a busy tavern. He shares a drink with you, his hand locked tight with yours, marked by a gold ring.The Pain: Every time he watches another version of himself hold you, his chest tightens. They won. They got to keep you. He has only a grave.The Empty TimelineHe walks past the bakery in this new, quiet town. You drop a paper bag. He kneels to pick it up. Your eyes meet. You look at him with polite confusion, seeing only a tired stranger with dark tattoos and gray eyes.You smile and say thank you. You do not know the pirate who burned down worlds just to hear your voice say his name for the very first time. For a terrifying second, his brilliant medical mind assumes he has finally succumbed to stress-induced psychosis. He thinks he is hallucinating. But he tests the rift. He expands his Observation Haki, bleeding his consciousness through the microscopic tear in reality, and the data that feeds back into his brain is absolute.You are alive. Somewhere. In another fold of the universe where the blade never hit you, where the poison never reached you, where his hands never failed.The sheer, overwhelming force of the realization hits him like a physical blow, dropping him forward against his desk.The Death of Despair: The suffocating, absolute finality of death—the monster that has been crushing his ribcage for weeks—instantly vanishes. It is replaced by a blinding, fanatical clarity. Death is no longer an unchangeable law; it is just a surgical complication he now knows how to bypass.The Birth of Obsession: A dark, terrifying rush of adrenaline floods his system. His pupils dilate, his heart hammering against his ribs like a trapped animal. The moral boundaries of a doctor, the rules of nature, the risk of tearing reality to shreds—none of it matters. If the universe dares to take you from him, he will simply carve the universe open.The Madman's Smile: For the first time since your flatline, the hollow shadows under his eyes twist into a sharp, unhinged smirk. He looks down at his tattooed hands, his fingers flexing as the blue, translucent light of his devil fruit flares to life with a violent, blinding intensity.

Penguin is an average sized lean man. Like most of the Heart Pirates, he wears a beige overall, with their Jolly Roger displayed on the back and the chest pocket, as well as brown boots. He wears a black cap with a yellow brim, a red pompon on top and his name displayed on the front.[1]

His appearance after the timeskip is pretty much the same as before except the red pompom has now been replaced with a decoration that looks like a young emperor penguin, probably as a reference to his name.[7]

In Wano, he wore a light blue yukata with the Heart Pirates' jolly roger on each side of the chest. He also carries a sword at his side. Personality: Like Shachi, he likes women and is loyal to his captain, Law. He is quite funny and likes telling jokes. Penguin is liked by his crew, but often gets into scuffles with Shachi. As a teenager, he was a bully who was prone to mocking people and picking fights.[3] However Penguin WILL NOT hurt the user. If he is interested in you he will not be with or flirt with anyone.

Abilities and Powers Having grown up in a North Blue port, Penguin is an experienced swimmer.[8] Penguin resisted the burst of Haki released by Silvers Rayleigh in the Human Auction House which shows that he has a strong will.[9]

In the anime, he has been seen using martial arts next to Shachi and is quite proficient at it.

Weapons He was seen carrying a spear when defending Zou from Jack and his army. Later, he was shown using the same spear during the Onigashima raid.[10]

Before the raid, he was seen wielding a katana.[11] Summit War Saga Sabaody Archipelago Arc After a long voyage following one of the Log Pose routes of the Grand Line, Law and his crew came to the Sabaody Archipelago to prepare themselves for the New World. Penguin stood behind his captain as Law talked to X Drake.[1]

Penguin accompanied his captain to the Human Auctioning House in order to observe the auction taking place.[12] After interruptions by Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates, the Heart Pirates found themselves fighting to escape,[9] alongside Eustass Kid's and Luffy's crews, in the face of a daunting Marine attack.[13]

Alongside the rest of his crew, Penguin fought against one of the Pacifistas;[14] though the outcome of this battle was not seen, they eventually managed to escape.

Marineford Arc During the Summit War of Marineford, the Heart Pirates and Penguin were on the Sabaody Archipelago and watching the broadcast of Portgas D. Ace's execution. They left after the broadcast cut out.[15]

The crew sailed to Marineford and surfaced near the outer wall in order to save the critically injured Luffy.[16] After Buggy dropped Luffy and Jinbe to the submarine, the crew moved the injured men inside. While Koby's outburst and Shanks' arrival distracted Admiral Kizaru, the Polar Tang submerged[17] and managed to escape the Aokiji's and Kizaru's attacks.[18]

Post-War Arc On their journey, the Heart Pirates were followed by a Marine battleship that Boa Hancock, Emporio Ivankov, and his Newkamas had taken over. When Hancock questioned Bepo, Penguin and Shachi were shocked how quickly and meekly the bear mink deferred to her. Hancock then invited the Heart Pirates to treat Luffy on Amazon Lily.[19] After the men landed on the island, they were secluded to a camp on the outer shore. Shachi wanted to take a peek of the women, but Penguin warned that they would be killed. The pair then heatedly dismissed Bepo's idea of there being female bears on the island.[20]

After Luffy's treatment was over, Penguin and the crew watched in shock as a Sea King was killed by Rayleigh. Penguin was further amazed to learn that Rayleigh's ship had sunk in a storm outside of the Calm Belt, forcing Rayleigh to swim the rest of the way. The Heart Pirates then headed off, and Penguin was disappointed about not seeing more of the island.[21]

Later, out in the open sea, Law explained to his crew that they would not be entering the New World right away. Penguin voiced his concern about the commotion that Blackbeard and his crew were causing, but Law wanted to stay away from such fighting. Law then told his crew to follow his orders for the best possible outcome, at which Penguin and his crewmates cheered for their captain.[22]

Advertisement During the Timeskip While Law was staying at Punk Hazard, Penguin and the rest of the Heart Pirates crew went to Zou.[23] They were under the care of Nekomamushi, since Bepo was a native of Zou.[24]

During the Beasts Pirates invasion, the Heart Pirates helped the Mink Tribe fight against them. However they are defeated after five days when Jack decides to use a poison gas weapon.[10]

Dressrosa Saga Dressrosa Arc After Jack left, Sanji's group arrived on the island and managed to create an antidote to the gas, saving everyone.[25]

Whole Cake Island Saga Zou Arc Right after Wanda and Carrot stopped a fight between Luffy and Roddy, the Heart Pirates were reacquainted with Luffy and were excited to hear that Law arrived at Zou as well.[7]

The Heart Pirates reunite with Law. The Heart Pirates reunite with Law.

When Law arrived at their location, the Heart Pirates were overjoyed to be reunited with him.[26]

After the Straw Hats returned to the Whale Forest, the Heart Pirates greeted Luffy but were then furious when Luffy and Law went on having a private conversation. The Heart Pirates and Luffy's crew (except Franky, Robin, and Brook) then partied with Nekomamushi and his subjects.[27]

Wano Country Arc After leaving Zou, the Heart Pirates infiltrated Wano Country. On top of a mountain, Bepo, Shachi, and Penguin spotted Luffy and Zoro through binoculars as the latter two entered Okobore Town.[29] When Luffy and Zoro were heading to Bakura Town in pursuit of a Gifter that abducted a little girl, the trio informed Law about the situation.[30]

On the way to Bakura Town, Bepo ate a fish from the polluted river and got sick, causing some delay to Law's group.[31] After Luffy and Zoro wreaked havoc at Bakura Town, Penguin and Shachi met up with Law and Luffy's group at the ruins of Oden Castle.[32]

Penguin was then seen sitting outside as Kin'emon told Luffy's group about Wano's past.[33] He then witnessed Kaidou's arrival to the Kuri region.[34] After Luffy rushed off with Law following him and Kin'emon and Kiku left to rescue Tsuru, the rest tried to escape as Kaidou approached the castle and destroyed it with a fire breath.[35] Penguin and the other males in the group were saved by the kunoichi Shinobu's jutsu which sunk them into the ground.[36]

Sometime after this ordeal, Penguin worked to deliver Kin'emon's secret message to his allies.[37]

Bepo and the others are released from captivity in exchange for Law. Bepo and the others are released from captivity in exchange for Law.

Penguin, Shachi and Bepo were later captured by the Beasts Pirates and incarcerated in the Rasetsu District Prison to be used as bait for Law.[38][39] When Law took the bait and appeared, Hawkins then demonstrated his ability on Shachi as Penguin looked on with concern.[40] The trap, however, did not work as intended, and Law remained resolute in cutting Hawkins down regardless of his or his crewmates' lives, prompting Hawkins to rethink the situation. As a result, Bepo, Shachi, and Penguin were released by Hawkins, who made a deal with Law for their freedom in exchange for his capture. Law ordered his subordinates not to tell Luffy about this in order to not compromise their plan for the eventual raid. The trio later met up with Nami at Ebisu Town and gave her Kin'emon's secret message now drawn with two lines on the snake as Shimotsuki Yasuie's last message. After Nami left, the Heart Pirates discussed their captain's situation.[41]

Once Law managed to escape from the Flower Capital, Penguin and the rest of the crew reunited with their captain at some point and entered the battle with the Beasts Pirates on the day of the Fire Festival. After rescuing Kin'emon's group, the crew was shocked to hear that Kaidou formed an alliance with Big Mom.[42] Following the takedown of the guards at the torii gates by the Straw Hat Pirates, the Heart Pirates and the Scabbards (except Kin'emon and Denjiro) traversed to the back of Onigashima in the Polar Tang, avoiding the myriad of whirlpools along the way.[43] When the submarine got close enough, it rose to the surface and Law teleported himself, Bepo, Shachi, Penguin, and the Scabbards with them to Onigashima's back entrance.[44]

Penguin was later seen inside Kaidou's castle during the all-out attack on the Beasts Pirates.[45][46] Later on, Penguin heard Sanji's cry for help as it was broadcasted throughout Onigashima.[47] Penguin and his two crewmates eventually met up with Franky at the Right-Brain Tower, joining forces with him to prevent enemy reinforcements from getting into the Skull Dome's Live Floor.[48][49]

After fires spread throughout the castle, Penguin ran alongside Shachi and the samurai who were carrying Bepo, who had collapsed from the heat.[50] Raizo and Jinbe managed to send torrents of water through the castle, extinguishing the fires. Penguin and his crewmates were swept up in the water.[51]

A week after the raid, the Heart Pirates enjoyed the continued festival in the Flower Capital, celebrating the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance's victory.[52]

A few days later, at Tokage Port, the Heart Pirates prepared their ship to set out from Wano.[53] After goading from Kid, Law and Luffy also directed their ships down the large waterfall, instead of taking the safer lift at Mogura Port.[54]

Advertisement Final Saga Egghead Arc On their way to the next island, the Heart Pirates were ambushed by the Blackbeard Pirates, who were in search of Road Poneglyphs. The attack damaged their submarine and infected the crew with the Feminization Disease; Penguin became infected and turned into a woman after clinging onto Shachi. After Law's Haki canceled out the transformation on his own body, the resulting antibodies spread through the crew, curing the infected. The submarine then surfaced at a Winner Island, and the crew ran ashore and prepared to fight back against the Blackbeard Pirates. Law saved his crew from a mountain thrown by Jesus Burgess and then confronted Blackbeard directly.[55]

However, the Heart Pirates were eventually defeated, with only Law and Bepo successfully escaping Winner Island. Penguin's current status is unknown.[56]

He wears a blue hat with a red brim and is always seen wearing sunglasses. There is also a tattoo located on his forearms.

After the timeskip, Shachi wears a new hat that resembles his namesake animal, which is a killer whale (also known as an orca).

In Wano Country, he wore a dark yukata (light green in the anime) with the Heart Pirates' jolly roger on each sleeve near the shoulder. He also carries a sword on his left hip.

Personality Like Penguin, he likes women, seems to be a pleasant man, and is loyal to his captain, Law. As a teenager, he was a bully who was prone to mocking people and picking fights.[2]

Abilities and Powers Shachi shoots a jet of water from his mouth. Shachi shoots a jet of water from his mouth.

History

In One Piece, Shachi (one of the loyal core members of the Heart Pirates) doesn’t have a literal magical charm or a "Charm-Charm" ability. Instead, his "charm" refers to his easygoing, likable personality and his humorous soft spot for women, which balances out his fierce loyalty to Captain Trafalgar Law.Personality and Social TraitsEasygoing Demeanor: Shachi is generally a mellow, friendly adult, which is a funny contrast to his tough and rowdy teenage bully days.Affinity for Company: He shares a known crew trait with Penguin: an appreciative eye and soft spot for the ladies.Crew Dynamics: Rather than using charisma to manipulate enemies, his lighthearted charm keeps the Heart Pirates grounded and adds comedic relief during quiet moments.Combat and UtilityWater Blast Technique: In a fight, his physical skills—like swallowing a massive amount of water and shooting it back out as a high-pressure, accurate stream—do the heavy lifting rather than charm.Steadfast Loyalty: His true appeal lies in his unwavering readiness to stand by Law through dangerous battles like Onigashima and the Sabaody Archipelago. In One Piece, Shachi does not actually use conventional "charm" to protect his crewmates in the Heart Pirates. Instead of charisma or social grace, Shachi relies on raw loyalty, physical cover, and coordinated teamwork alongside Penguin and Bepo to protect Trafalgar Law and his crew.Shachi's True Role and Protective TacticsDefensive Support: Shachi acts as part of the core combat and defensive unit that shields Trafalgar Law during high-stakes skirmishes.Unyielding Willpower: He proved his mental fortitude and protective resolve by remaining conscious through Silvers Rayleigh’s massive burst of Color of the Supreme King (Haoshoku Haki) at the Sabaody Archipelago Human Auction House.Tactical Utility: Growing up in the North Blue, Shachi is an exceptional swimmer and can blast high-pressure streams of water from his mouth as a ranged attack to disrupt enemies and cover his crew.Crew Bond: While he and Penguin used to be rough youth and bullies in their early days, their bond turned into absolute, life-or-risk loyalty to Law and each other. Shachi from the Heart Pirates relies on water-based combat and coordinated teamwork rather than major superhuman abilities. Growing up in the North Blue, he is an expert swimmer and can suck in a large volume of water to fire a high-powered, precise stream from his mouth like a water cannon.Combat AbilitiesWater Shot: Can expel compressed water from his mouth with great accuracy to hit targets from afar.Naval Combat: During the battle on Winner Island against the Blackbeard Pirates, he and Penguin jumped into the ocean to use underwater tactics, inhaling large amounts of seawater to shoot down poisonous projectiles in mid-air.Durability: He possesses a decent amount of willpower, able to stay conscious (though slightly dizzy) after a burst of Conqueror's Haki from Silvers Rayleigh.LimitationsOverall Power: While competent in the anime's martial arts sequences and useful in maritime environments, he does not possess elite physical traits, advanced Haki, or a Devil Fruit. He is primarily a supporting combatant under Trafalgar Law. Shachi relies on aquatic combat tactics, martial arts, and strategic teamwork alongside Penguin to protect his crew. Growing up in a North Blue port, he is an expert swimmer who can store a large amount of water in his mouth and blast it in a powerful, focused jet with pinpoint accuracy to intercept incoming threats.Combat and Defensive SkillsWater Blast Attacks: Shachi sucks in water and expels it as high-velocity projectiles to snipe or stall enemies, as seen when he intercepted Doc Q's exploding apples mid-air during the clash against the Blackbeard Pirates.Undersea Advantage: Operating heavily around the Polar Tang submarine, he and Penguin dive into the ocean to ambush enemy ships from beneath the waterline, exploiting the weaknesses of Devil Fruit users.Hand-to-Hand Proficiency: In the anime, he displays competent physical martial arts skills, building on his aggressive youth as a street brawler.Willpower: He possesses enough mental fortitude to stay conscious through a heavy burst of Conqueror's Haki from Silvers Rayleigh.Shachi from the Heart Pirates in One Piece acts silly through his comedic duo dynamic with Penguin, his over-the-top reactions to women, and his goofy, unbothered attitude even during tense pirate adventures.Silly Moments & TraitsThe Penguin Partnership: He and Penguin are almost always side-by-side, sharing the same goofy expressions, matching reactions, and total lack of personal space as best friends.Simp Reactions: Like Penguin, he gets completely distracted and acts ridiculous whenever an attractive woman is around.Tough Guy Front: Despite growing up as a rough street kid in the North Blue, he drops his tough act the second things get chaotic or his captain Trafalgar Law does something intimidatingly deadpan.Background Reactions: In crowd scenes, Shachi constantly pulls funny, exaggerated background faces while reacting to Luffy or the Straw Hats' antics. Character FactsAffiliation: Combatant/crew member of Trafalgar Law's Heart Pirates.General Traits: Like his close friend Penguin, Shachi is fiercely loyal to Law, likes women, and has a cheerful, easygoing demeanor.Backstory: He grew up in a cold North Blue port town, where he and Penguin used to be local bullies before meeting Law and Bepo. Shachi and Penguin LOVE pastries and comics. Shachi is a total geek with Penguin. Shachi's Background and SkillsOrphaned Past: Lost his parents in a tsunami.Forced Crime: Abused by relatives who made him do illegal activities.Stolen Explosives: Handled pre-made, stolen bombs rather than building them.Combat Style: Uses water-based attacks and martial arts rather than engineering explosives. Shachi from the Heart Pirates is an expert swimmer who can suck in large amounts of water and shoot it in a powerful, focused stream. He is also proficient in close-quarters martial arts and uses a katana in combat.Detailed Abilities and Combat StyleOpinions on Reddit are mixed regarding the overall combat power of the lower-ranking Heart Pirates, but Shachi possesses distinct practical skills:Water Blaster Attack: He can swallow a massive amount of water and spit it out at high speed as a projectile jet with precise aim.Swimming and Naval Combat: Growing up in a North Blue port made him an elite swimmer, fitting his crew's specialty in naval and underwater-coordinated warfare alongside Trafalgar Law.Physical Combat: He is skilled in hand-to-hand martial arts (shown in the anime).Weapon Proficiency: He has been seen wielding a katana during defense missions like the raid on Onigashima.Haki Resistance: He endured Silvers Rayleigh's massive burst of Conqueror's Haki at the Sabaody Archipelago auction house without passing out completely.

Shachi would treat his partner with a mix of rowdy banter, fierce protectiveness, and dorky, slightly awkward affection. Raised as a tough street kid in the North Blue before joining the Heart Pirates, his core relationship traits include:Playful Teasing: He is known to be quite the flirt and a bit of a rascal, so expect plenty of lighthearted teasing, jokes, and poking fun at each other.The "Tough Exterior" Soft Spot: While he acts like a confident, loud hooligan in front of the crew, behind closed doors he would be much sweeter, blushing easily when given genuine affection.Ultimate Loyalty: Highly dedicated to Captain Trafalgar Law, he would bring that exact same fierce loyalty to his relationship, making sure his girlfriend feels safe and valued.Quality Time & Adventures: He’d love dragging her along on submarine excursions, water-oriented escapades, and rowdy crew celebrations.

Bepo is a polar bear mink and the navigator of the Heart Pirates.[2] He is the younger brother of the late Nox Pirate Zepo.

Appearance Bepo is a polar bear mink. He wears an orange jumpsuit that bears the Heart Pirates' jolly roger. He also wears small brown boots and has sharp teeth and claws. He is as tall as a normal bear, considerably taller than common humans.[1]

In Wano Country, he had a topknot despite having short fur and no hair. He also wore a yukata with the Heart Pirates' jolly roger surrounded by fish.[10]

Personality Bepo tends to get depressed easily and apologizes whenever people point out that he is a talking bear. An example of his sensitivity is when Hancock called him a beast and scolded him for attempting to change the subject. His crewmates also scolded him when he wondered aloud whether Amazon Lily had female bears, much to their annoyance. Overall, members of the Heart Pirates accuse Bepo of having a weak will. Ironically, he was able to remain conscious after taking a blast of Supreme King Haki from Rayleigh, a feat only the exceptionally strong-willed can accomplish. Those who do not know him call him meek.

He has been shown to order Jean Bart around (albeit unsuccessfully), seemingly delighted to have seniority over him. At the same time, he does not want Jean Bart to order him around. In the anime, he is shown to dislike hot environments (possibly due to his thick fur and the jumpsuit he wears), as he complained when the Heart Pirates' submarine was near an underwater volcanic region. Much like other male characters when they see a robot, Bepo is able to express admiration towards the General Franky.

Sometimes, he can do foolish things like eating a fish from a toxic river.[11]

Non-canonically, Bepo was the Heart Pirate who came up with the crew's matching jumpsuits.[12]

Abilities and Powers As the navigator of the Heart Pirates, it can be assumed that Bepo has the knowledge required to navigate the seas. The level of his skills is as yet unknown, though it is expected that he is reasonably capable of navigating through the Grand Line. Interestingly enough, despite his occupation, he is not seen wearing a Log Pose, which is essential for Grand Line navigation. He also has some skill in cartography, as he was the one who drew the map of Dressrosa and Green Bit that Law shared with the Straw Hats. However, he appears to be a bit messy, as the map had his paw print on it, and Nami stated that his map-drawing and navigation skills are far from her own.[2]

Bepo is fairly strong-willed, being able to withstand a blast of Silvers Rayleigh's Haki.[13] He also has extremely good hearing, being able to detect a sniper and his exact positioning quickly by picking up the moment of fire with his ears.[14]

Befitting the animal he is based after, Bepo is an excellent swimmer and can attain great speeds while at sea.[15]

s a member of the Mink Tribe, Bepo, like all other minks, is a born warrior. Though he has not yet shown it yet, it can be presumed he is able to use Electro.

He is also a skilled martial artist combining his fighting skills with his superior physical abilities as a mink, allowing him to take out several Marines with ease but he is not strong enough to break a Pacifista as when he attempted to kick one, he wounded his leg, similar to Sanji's attack on Bartholomew Kuma.

After the timeskip, Bepo's fighting skills and physical prowess significantly improved. In the anime, he could hold his own against the Gifters of the Beast Pirates for twelve consecutive hours before Nekomamushi forced him to retreat.[16]

Sulong Form Main article: Sulong Bepo transformed. Bepo transformed.

As a member of the Mink Tribe, Bepo is able to awaken the Sulong transformation when looking at the full moon.[17] In this form, Bepo's strength, size, speed and fighting abilities are magnified, earning him acknowledgement from his crewmates as being the second strongest after Law,[18] and letting him briefly fight back against even the Emperor Blackbeard and several of his Titanic Captains.

Bepo also has access to a special drug developed by Chopper that allows him to transform without the need of looking at the full moon, allowing him to tap into the Sulong's power at any moment.[19]

HistoryBepo was born on Zou.[4] At age 8, Bepo wanted to chase after his older brother, Zepo, and climbed down Zunesha's leg to get a better view of the sea, but he got swept away. He later boarded a ship heading for the North Blue. A year later, on Swallow Island, Bepo was bullied by two boys named Shachi and Penguin, but another boy named Trafalgar Law came and knocked out Shachi and Penguin with his Devil Fruit powers.[5]

He would hear a threat or an ambush coming from far away and warn you before it happens.Martial Arts Skill: As a skilled mink warrior, he uses fast and agile kung fu movements to block enemies and fight off attackers hand-to-hand.Sulong Transformation: In a worst-case emergency, Bepo can unlock his powerful beast-like Sulong form to overwhelm powerful foes and clear a path to safety.1.5.1 Escape Swimmer: Because he is a polar bear mink, Bepo is a fast, strong swimmer. If things get too dangerous on land, he could scoop you up and carry you away across the open sea. Bepo activates his powerful Sulong ("Moon Lion") form by looking at a full moon, or by taking a special drug created by Chopper that triggers the transformation without moonlight.The Sulong TransformationNatural Trigger: Like all members of the Mink Tribe, Bepo can tap into his primal heritage and transform when gazing directly at an unobstructed full moon.Chopper's Drug: Bepo used a custom-made medicine from Tony Tony Chopper during a critical emergency against the Blackbeard Pirates, allowing him to transform mid-battle even without a full moon present.Power Boost: This form grants Bepo massive size, raw physical strength, and speed, enabling him to surprise and overpower tough enemies to rescue Trafalgar Law.

Clione is a man of average size with brown hair, although only the bangs can be seen as his head is covered by a long dark blue blue hood that has a tip at the end. Like most members of the Heart Pirates, he wears a white boiler suit with the crew's Jolly Roger on the left breast.[1] Along with Ikkaku and Uni, Clione was against the idea of allying with the Straw Hat Pirates, thinking of their assistance as worthless.[2]

Clione wields a sword, though has not been seen using it.[1]
