* HenpeckedHusband: He and Navarone's head chef Jessica have a very close and very loving relationship, but he's nonetheless terrified when she's angry. When the Straw Hats arrived, they managed to take advantage of that twice. Once by telling Jessica that Jonathan [[BerserkButton threw away or otherwise did not eat the food she made for him]] -- which was true -- resulting in a brutal lesson in honesty involving a FryingPanOfDoom, and once when he [[DeerInTheHeadlights instinctively froze up]] and received a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown from Nami for stealing her gold.

* InSeriesNickname: Garp, at least, refers to him as "Bushy-tail" (from "Mononga" being part of the Latin name for the Japanese dwarf flying squirrel, which really does have a rather bushy tail). Mononga himself doesn't comment on it.

** In Part Four of Marineford Misery, he fights Byrnndi World--a man who has Haki and a Devil Fruit that can use to amplify the strength, speed, and durability of himself and anything he touches by up to a hundred, and is capable of defeating ''Luffy'' in canon ''without using it''. Garp goes up against him--and he was either drawing with World, or possibly ''winning''.

* CodeName: They employ these as an added measure of security, taking them from the EasternZodiac as opposed to their counterpart. As of the Skelter Bite arc, they still have three codenames available: Horse, Pig, and Rat (they have offered Snake to another, but that person has yet to accept formally). Later, with Magellan's introduction to the group as Boar in the Marineford Misery arc, only Rat and Horse remain available.

** He's deeply loyal to his crew, friends, and family, which isn't immediately obvious from how he acts most of the time. But it becomes clear during Strong World when he even yells at Luffy- a major OOC moment for him- about how he deserves to help take down Shiki, since Bart, his crew, and his friends are also from the East Blue.

* TheOneThingIDontHateAboutYou: {{Inverted|Trope}}. He loves everything about the Straw Hat Pirates...[[EarAche except for that stupid foghorn]].

** Cross even uses Foxy as an example to Kid as to what the secret to getting an advantage over Luffy is--use of more esoteric powers and abilities that [[DumbMuscle Luffy]] can't just brute-force his way through.

* SillyReasonForWar: When they reveal that their century long duel was the result of an argument over who caught the biggest Sea King, ''nobody'' listening is impressed. Their crewmembers Oimo and Kashi are indignant that they ended up stuck in servitude to the Marines for 50 years over something so petty, Usopp breaks down in tears over his heroic image of the two being so shattered, and even Hajrudin, a hero-worshipping young giant who called into the SBS to talk to them, admits that the epicness of their duel is kind of undercut by [[DisappointedByTheMotive its root cause being so lame]].

--------

** During their final battle just as Magellan is about to unleash his Typhon Genesis final attack after setting it up with his Poison Goetia technique, Luffy uses Usopp's Rubber Band of Doom--sorry, ''Elastic Wonder'' of Doom--and flicks it into Magellan's eye to stun him once again and land a solid punch into his stomach, causing the Warden to literally puke the attack out involuntarily, saving him and the rest of the prison break party.

* ScarsAreForever: A grisly reminder of being a former World Noble slave is the "Hoof of the Soaring Dragon" she and her sisters have on their backs. She is paranoid of anyone ever learning of it, keeping her back perpetually covered at all times and preventing anyone from seeing them when bathing. Ultimately subverted, though: Not long after the sisters leave for Marineford--which comes shortly after they tell the rest of the Kuja Pirates the truth--Marguerite surreptitiously arranges the creation of branding irons with their Jolly Roger to permanently smother the scars.

* LittleBitBeastly: Even in their human forms, Sandersonia and Marigold possess snake-like tongues and a distinctly reptilian aversion to the cold. Chopper cites this as evidence for his theory that Zoan fruits are actually more flexible than anyone has realized since the two somehow managed to unconsciously add their tongues--and the enhanced sense of taste/smell they provide--to their human forms during their escape.

* EveryoneHasStandards: He quite enjoys hitting people with his mallet and seems mainly exasperated by the guys surrounding him--understandable since they're the Straw Hat Pirates and TheDitz Tashigi--but expresses genuine compassion for Cross after forcing him to relive Ace's death.

* TheUnintelligible: It takes Soundbite a long time to figure out how to translate Boss Kabuto--it's theorized later that the rapid evolution and aging of the animals in Merville made their communication skills change just as rapidly.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: One of his berserk buttons is a hatred of broccoli and vegetables, to the point he throws away his wife's cooking if it includes them. Sanji's cooked vegetables, on the other hand, are good enough to make him almost think about getting seconds.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Jonathan is very patient, slow to anger, quick with a joke, and a benevolent man altogether. But that doesn't change the fact that he’s a Vice Admiral, which is [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking synonymous with]] OneManArmy.

* CigarChomper: Two at a time, to boot.

* UndyingLoyalty: To the Straw Hat Pirates. They are the reason he became a pirate as canon, took Akainu and five Marine battleships on a wild goose chase in the Calm Belt during Enies Lobby, became a mole for both them and the Masons during Strong World and why he likewise rejected the offers from the Emperor representatives during Skelter Bite.

* KnowledgeBroker: Similar to the above, he has an extensive network of informants and crewmembers that keep their ears to the ground during shore leave, allowing him to collect a lot of information. It's how he gained information on Task Force Cerberus to share with Apoo.

* ProfessionalButtKisser: Averted. Unlike his canon counterpart, he intends to actively take part of the competition with Luffy to find the One Piece and become the Pirate King as he told Desire.

* IronicNickname: While Cancer is part of the Western Zodiac, Hina wasn't thinking of that when she suggested the name, focusing instead more on the typical repercussions of smoking.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: She and her sisters were slaves to the World Nobles for four years when they were children, escaping only thanks to Fisher Tiger; the trauma has never left them and they developed a seething hatred for the World Nobles. In fact, her decision to join the Warlords is based on this: to prevent any Kuja from ever kidnapped or become a slave.

** the main reason he was brought onboard the Masons, despite remaining stationed in impel down is because he knows the lawbook backwards, forwards, upside down, and by heart, which means he is also invaluable for finding loopholes to abuse

'''Magellan:''' "Naturally."\\
"And can anyone else tell me precisely what you can do if you know all of the rules?" '''Foxy asked, his grin ear to ear.'''\\
"Find every possible way to cheat," '''Apoo said, grinning even wider.'''
