Baroque Works

Baroque Works is a fearsome organization of bounty hunters based in Paradise. Under their official job as bounty hunters, Baroque Works' ultimate goal is to take over the Kingdom of Alabasta . The agents all have code names based on numbers (men) or days (women) and can count on a large number of mostly nameless mooks. The Officer Agents are the strongest members, as almost all of them ate a Devil Fruit. They and their respective partners have ranks from 1 to 5. Beneath them are the Frontier Agents, who have ranks from 6 to 13, and further beneath the unranked members, the Billions. They are the main antagonists in the Alabasta Saga.

Following the end of the Alabasta civil war, most of them were arrested and the Officers put in prison. Most of the Officers subsequently escaped to live a peaceful life, whereas Mr. 0, Mr. 1, Mr. 2 and Mr. 3 were transferred to Impel Down, which they managed to escape from anyway during the Impel Down breakout incident, sans Mr. 2.

Their leaders are Mr. 0 (aka Crocodile) and Miss All Sunday (aka Nico Robin).

In General

• Aerith and Bob: All Officer Agents have pretty exotic or unusual names, except for Miss Goldenweek, who has the rather standard "Marianne".
• All There in the Manual: Miss Doublefinger, Miss Goldenweek, Mr 4, Miss Merry Christmas, Mr 5, and Miss Valentine's real names are all revealed in the Vivre Card databook.
• Code Name: Being a secretive organization, the members generally use code names to hide their identities, high ranking members follow a theme: numbers for male members, weekdays or holidays for female members. Most of the prominent members' actual names are never mentioned in the story but are revealed through SBS.
• Equal-Opportunity Evil: There's sure a large variety of agents, including dark-skinned men, women, crossdressers and even an otter and a vulture. Mr. 0 probably doesn't care about your appearance as long as you're useful to him.
• Evil Duo: The Officer Agents and the Frontier Agents work in pairs. One male, whose codename is after a number, indicating the pair's rank, and one female, whose codename is after an holiday or a day of the week. The only exception is Mr. 2 who has no partner because he's both male and female at the same time.
• Great Escape: Although they don't exactly break free from Impel Down, Miss Doublefinger, Mr. 4, and Miss Merry Christmas escape from a prison ship thanks to Miss Goldenweek, Mr. 5, and Miss Valentine.
• Holiday Motif: The female agents of Baroque Works are all named after days of the year/week, with the highest-ranking agents all being named after important holidays and small parts of their designs/personalities reflects their codenames: Miss Merry Christmas has a necktie resembling a Christmas tree, Miss Golden Week has painting-themed abilities because Golden Week includes Children's Day and is celebrated with arts and crafts, and Miss Valentine's wish, as revealed in a Mini-Adventure, is being a chocolatier.
• Instrument of Murder: Mr. 8's saxophone can be used as a shotgun.
• The Mole: Mr. 8 and Ms. Wednesday, who are really the princess of Alabasta and one of her retainers, only joined Baroque Works to try and take out its boss from the inside.
• No Name Given: With the exception of Mr. 1, Mr. 2, and Mr. 3, the other agents are referred only by their codenames while their true names remain a mystery. They are finally revealed nearly two decades after their debut, in the Vivre Card databook.
• Oh, Crap!: Usually during their battle against the Straw Hats, they realize to have lost the battle and can't do anything but panic before the inevitable attack that defeats them.
• Quirky Miniboss Squad: Baroque Works is made of people with different quirks and powers, like Mr. 3 being an art-obsessed smartass with wax powers or Miss Valentine being a loudmouth with weight powers. While some lower higher-ups pose as the main threat of the Reverse Mountain Arc, the Whisky Peak Arc and the Little Garden Arc, the pairs from Mr. Four upwards (except Mr. Three and Miss Goldenweek, who face the Straw Hats in Little Garden) are defeated in the Alabasta Arc right before Crocodile, their boss and the main villain of the Saga.
• Theme Naming: The higher agents' code names follow these themes: Male code names are numbers, ranked according to their strength, and female code names are days of the week and holidays. Lower members have much more varied and unrelated code names like Mr. Love, Mr. Mellow, Miss Catharina, or Mr. Beans.
• True Companions: Even if at first their relationship appears more professional than personal (and, admittedly, some don't get along much together), the Officer agents share a close bond. Miss Goldenweek, with Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine's help, frees Miss Doublefinger, Mr. 4, and Miss Merry Christmas and then they decide to work together in the Spider Cafe.
• Verbal Tic: Mr. 8 has a habit of mispronouncing something, tuning his voice, then correcting himself.
• You Are Number 6: The males stronger agents' codenames are numbers, indicating their ranks. Ironically, Mr. 6 doesn't make an appearance.

Devil Fruit: Sand-Sand Fruit

"Justice is only for the people who take it."

Crocodile is the second of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to be formally introduced and serves as the main antagonist of the Baroque Works Saga. During his early travels, he eventually became disillusioned and began to view those who sailed for fortune and glory to be two-bit upstarts. He secretly formed a criminal organization called Baroque Works, whose public aim was to take over the prosperous country of Alabasta and create a utopia and lead it as its president. To accomplish this, he worked to undermine the influence of Alabasta's King by publicly defeating criminals before the royal army could, and by exploiting a drought in order to pit the kingdom against an army of rebels. His Devil Fruit, the Sand-Sand Fruit (Suna Suna no Mi), lets him turn into and control sand, a very useful ability in the desert kingdom of Alabasta.

After Luffy defeats him and his plot to take over Alabasta is revealed to the World Government, he loses his status as a Warlord and is imprisoned in Impel Down. He is later freed by Luffy to aid him in his prison breakout and participates in the Paramount War. Following the war, Crocodile and Daz Bonez enter the New World.

His bounty is 1,965,000,000 berries.^note  His bounty at the time he became a Warlord was 81,000,000 berries before it was frozen. After his removal from the Warlords, the organization's dissolution and the formation of the Cross Guild, his bounty increases to 1.965 billion berries.

---

• All for Nothing: He spent at least six years putting a plan in place to destabilize the country of Alabasta, all so he could gain access to its Poneglyph and the Ancient Weapon hidden there, only for Robin (the only woman with the ability to read the Poneglyph and thus potentially activate said superweapon) to tell him it isn't in Alabasta, but halfway around the world, on the bottom of a deep artificial sea.
• Almighty Janitor: While he doesn't have a small bounty, it is considerably lower than a lot of his fellow Warlords. It's revealed in the series that his bounty isn't reflective of everything he's capable of, and had the government been aware of his criminal underworld actions, it would have been at least twice as much. After the events of Wano, for his strength, intellect, and the World Government seeing him as a subordinate of Buggy, who becomes one of the Four Emperors after the dissolution of the Seven Warlords, Crocodile's bounty raises to 1.965 billion berries; still lower than Buggy's, but a clear and dangerous threat regardless.
• Animal Motifs: Following his Captain Hook inspiration, his motif is the crocodile. Besides his name, he keeps monstrous crocodiles as pets and has a scar that resembles a crocodile's smile.
• Arc Villain: Crocodile is the main antagonist of the Baroque Works Saga, being the mastermind behind the titular crime organization. Most of the arcs of the saga are spent dealing with Baroque agents working under him, while Crocodile himself takes center stage as the Arc Villain of the Alabasta arc.
• Arch-Enemy:
  • He has more than earned Vivi's hatred, that of the Royal Courts, and possibly that of all of Alabasta when his crimes came to light. In fact, he's probably the only person that Vivi desires and attempts to kill.
  • He's Luffy's first true personal enemy. Luffy's live-and-let-live tendencies upon meeting many of his old enemies in the Impel Down Arc turn off as soon as he sees Crocodile again and, although they join forces because of circumstances, Luffy makes it clear he's unwilling to forgive Crocodile for what he did to Vivi.
  • He himself has a personal grudge against Whitebeard. The only reason Crocodile joins Luffy in an Enemy Mine during the Impel Down arc is for a shot at killing the old man during the Paramount War.
• Badass Boast:
  • Upon seeing Mihawk cut down the only henchman he actually likes, Crocodile takes him on, parrying Mihawk's Black Sword with just his hook, and telling Mihawk to tread carefully, because "[he's] in a very bad mood right now."
  • After having saved Ace from execution at Marineford, Sengoku professes the belief that Crocodile would’ve been more concerned with Whitebeard, Crocodiles' deadpan response if is that “[he] can kill that old dying man (Whitebeard) later” but just doesn’t want to let the Marines have their way. Bear in mind he's saying this while being right in the middle of two armies (both opposing him) and Whitebeard can still fight!
• Badass in a Nice Suit: He goes to battle while dressed like a blinged-out mafia don, complete with a ring on almost every finger and a pimpin' green fur coat. In fact, after being broken out of prison by Luffy and Ivankov, he actually takes the time to get similar clothing before making their escape in earnest. After the Time Skip, he sports an all-black version of his Alabasta outfit.
• Bad Boss: Regardless of how well you've served him, it's very unlikely that you'll survive working for him. If he likes you, you're fine; unfortunately, Daz Bones is literally the only subordinate who qualifies. Anyone else will be kept around only as long as they remain enough of an asset to justify their existence. Fuck up even once, and you're probably a dead man unless you're difficult to replace or have otherwise been useful enough to warrant his giving you a second chance. Even then, he may still kill you down the line once he no longer has a use for you. There are hints that he used to be a better boss in his previous pirate life before his downfall.
• Beat Them at Their Own Game: Due to being the true mastermind behind the formation of Buggy's Cross Guild, he's the one who came up with the idea to issue bounties on the Marines after they had issued bounties on pirates for so long.
• Berserk Button: Crocodile gets annoyed easily by nonsense or when someone is not taking something seriously. Therefore, he's quickly angered when Luffy goofs around during their first two fights.
• Big Bad Wannabe:
  • While he's the main and most dangerous antagonist in the Alabasta Arc and the Baroque Works Saga, in the Paramount War, where many of the strongest players of the One Piece world are involved, Crocodile is relatively less of a threat but acts as cocky and full of himself as in Alabasta. Crocodile claims that he wants to kill Whitebeard. However, during the war, not only can he not get past the henchmen who are protecting Whitebeard, but he also isn't even able to inflict any damage to Whitebeard. At the end of the arc he gets overshadowed by Blackbeard, who manages to kill Whitebeard, and Admiral Akainu, who kills Ace and emotionally breaks down Luffy.
  • During the Egghead Arc, Crocodile again becomes a major threat by creating the Cross Guild to succeed Baroque Works, allies with Mihawk, absorbs the Buggy Pirates, makes their leader a Puppet King and tries to repeat Operation Utopia, along with issuing bounties on the Marines, resulting in him getting a massive bounty increase (more than 24 times larger than his pre-freeze bounty) and the Guild being considered an Emperor-level threat. However, Buggy overrides his plans by forcing the Cross Guild to go after the One Piece, with Crocodile unable to do anything about it. Even the Marines consider him to be less of a threat than his partner Mihawk or the Puppet King Buggy, giving them larger bounties than Crocodile's.
• Blow You Away: His Sables attack is a sandstorm/tornado while Sables: Pesado is a more compressed version.
• Body Horror: Crocodile can use his sand powers to absorb the water from the body of whoever he touches, which turns the victim into an emaciated husk.
• Bond Villain Stupidity: Crocodile's plan to dispose of Luffy and his allies is to trap them in a seastone cage and flood them while they're inside, giving Vivi a sadistic choice between retrieving the key to the cage from a Bananadile or helping save Alabasta instead. While the key he throws is a fake key, leaving the possibility of his prisoners escaping the cage very slim, he still makes the mistake of leaving the group to drown without supervising to make sure they actually die. Sure enough, with the help of a still alive Mr. 3 and one of his wax keys, the group escapes.
• Charles Atlas Superpower: While he rarely shows it, Crocodile is quite strong as he can easily block a twohanded slash from Mihawk, a man that can cut glaciers with shockwaves. And he manages to do so with one arm!
• The Chessmaster:
  • The country of Alabasta sees him as their greatest protector while he secretly controls the criminal organization Baroque Works, who likewise do not know his real identity. Anything strange that happens in Alabasta can be traced back to Crocodile's plans: from sandstorms to a countrywide drought to the formation of a rebel army. The final plan of Baroque Works boils down to using the peoples' love for their country to destroy it and allow Crocodile to take over a country that loves him. And that's just the beginning. Alabasta is in no way picked at random. The World Government (which Crocodile also nominally serves as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea) takes a dim view of any revolutionary activity, so once his betrayal became known Crocodile would need to control a nation that would give him the power to stand up to them, like one that hides the secret to finding the ancient superbattleship Pluton. Guess what's encoded onto a poneglyph in the Alabasta royal tomb?
  • After the Paramount War, Crocodile bides his time, collecting capital in order to form Cross Guild as a means to disrupt the Marines operations (and just from what little we've seen, it's been frighteningly effective at it). But that wasn't the extent of his plans. He also manages to recruit Dracule Mihawk, securing one of the strongest men on the planet as an ally, and does so by making his pitch to the world's strongest swordsman right at the moment he would be the most open to suggestion (while being attacked by Marines as his home had become no longer safe) and telling Mihawk just what he knew would convince him. Then there's Cross Guild's methods; providing riches to anyone that kills a Marine. While pirates may seem like the most likely candidates to go for these bounties, in reality it's desperate civilians that are lured into chasing Cross Guild's bounties. Civilians that can no longer go home after collecting, since they've just killed a high ranking marine and are forced to go on the run. Cross Guild, of course, welcomes them in, increasing their numbers with desperate people who are capable of killing powerful marines. And all this is just the first step to his ultimate goal of building a military superpower.
• Cigar Chomper: Crocodile is always shown smoking a cigar, which gives him a mafia boss-style look.
• Climax Boss: While the series has continued long since his defeat, the Alabasta arc, and Crocodile's defeat at Luffy's hands, actually kick off a lot of the major events that are still transpiring in the manga. Not to mention that, according to Oda, One Piece was originally written to last around 5 years and end with the Alabasta Arc. So, it's no surprise that Crocodile's defeat has lingering Final Boss vibes.
• Combat Breakdown: His inevitable Villainous Breakdown translated into the third round of his fight with Luffy, which, at this point, degenerates into nothing but a pure brawl. Crocodile is so fully enraged and completely out of it that he disregards his Story Breaker Devil Fruit Powers in order to try and match Luffy physically. At this point in the series, matching Luffy physically was something very few characters could do, and Crocodile, regardless of his status as a Warlord, is not a physical fighter — at least, not one who could match Luffy. Sure enough, Luffy manages to win this time.
• Combat Pragmatist: What makes his Touch of Death so deadly, besides the obvious reasons, is that he also possesses the ability to teleport (by dissolving into sand, then reforming anywhere he wants). This means he can dissolve and reform right in front of his enemy and grab them with his Right Hand of Doom, oftentimes with his right hand already around them before he starts to reform. Unlike most villains who could do something like that, Crocodile actually does, and you're going to need some insane luck to survive it. The only reason he lost to Luffy at all is his rage-induced Idiot Ball.
• Cowardice Callout: Crocodile is called out by Buggy of all characters for his lack of ambition, outright questioning how he can even call himself a pirate by going after small-time goals.
• Crazy-Prepared: Throughout the Alabasta arc, whenever the Straw Hats and Vivi are about to stop the war, Crocodile always has a counter set in place to crush their attempts. It reaches the point where the only way to foil his plans is to defeat the man himself. And even that would have failed and the civil war would have resumed in earnest hadn't for Igaram's unexpected survival and the rainfall over Aluburna, things Crocodile couldn't foresee in any way. Even in case he's forced into fighting hand-to-hand, he has a poisoned backup hook and, if it breaks, can eject a knife in its place.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: In their first match, Crocodile gives Luffy a few minutes to mess around while he stands still and uses his Devil Fruit power to turn into sand and avoid every hit. Once the time is over, Crocodile swiftly impales Luffy and buries him alive.
• Cynicism Catalyst: There are several hints pointing towards Crocodile having lost his idealistic approach of being a pirate, whether it involved his loss to Whitebeard being his ultimate defeat that made him lose faith in his strength and more reliant on obtaining the ancient weapons, and/or another personal event that caused him to consider relying on friendship as worthless.
• Death Glare: After Luffy pisses him off, he shoots a quite horrific glare at Luffy's goofy antics in their first fight.
• Determinator: Subverted and downplayed. At Marineford, Crocodile wants to fight Whitebeard, a man that’s on the other side of at least two armies including about a dozen powerhouses strong enough to contend with Crocodile himself. On Crocodile's side is himself and Daz Bones. He does not stop coming at the Yonko despite all that. It isn’t until Squard injures Whitebeard that Crocodile loses interest and just takes on anyone he pleases. Subverted as he still plans on killing Whitebeard later, at least until Blackbeard kills Whitebeard first and voids the plan.
• Diabolical Mastermind: He's the mob boss of a secret organization whose influence spans across islands and who plans to attain an Ancient Weapon to garner enough military power to rival the World Government. He also paints himself as a "hero" of Alabasta while simultaneously manipulating the civilians into rebelling against their king so that he can eventually take over the kingdom for himself.
• Dragon-in-Chief: Crocodile is the real mastermind of the Cross Guild; the government mistakes Buggy as the leader because his picture was put in the center of the Cross Guild's poster, making it look like he was at the head of the group while Crocodile and Mihawk, the true leaders, are considered his right-hand men. Crocodile is initially angered by the mistake before Mihawk helps him see the benefits of having Buggy as a Puppet King while he remains the actual boss of the organization. Played with in that while Crocodile is the brains behind the operation, the Cross Guild still recognizes Buggy as the leader. When Buggy puts his foot down and disregards Crocodile's and Mihawk's demands by declaring that the Cross Guild is going after the One Piece, there's really nothing that Crocodile or Mihawk can do about it.
• Enemy Mine:
  • He teams up with Luffy to get out of Impel Down and have a shot at taking out Whitebeard. Somewhat subverted in that Luffy doesn't trust him (and wasn't going to release him at first), but is talked into it by Ivankov, who knows a secret that keeps him in check. Both he and Jimbei seem to be keeping their eyes on him to make sure that he doesn't stab them in the back.
  • Inverted with Doflamingo, as he refused his assistance to take on Whitebeard.
  • Played straight again when he kills the two Marines that were supposed to execute Ace. When Sengoku calls him out on it, asking why he's siding with Whitebeard, he justifies his action by claiming that Whitebeard can be killed any time, but he won't let the Marines have their way.
• Enraged by Idiocy: He has a very low tolerance for insults and nonsense, and once he faces Luffy, even when he was controlling the fight, Luffy infuriated him when he tried to capture Crocodile with his mouth. It gets even worse for Crocodile in the second round, who's suave composure slowly degenerates into aggravated disbelief when he sees Luffy over-drink the water. This action pissed him off so much, he screams in rage and recklessly tries to attack Luffy, who catches him off guard with a water blast.
• Equal-Opportunity Evil: His crew is about a 50/50 gender ratio and includes a black man, a flamboyant transvestite, and several old folks. For all his faults, bigotry isn't one of them.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Even he considers Akainu to be a real dick.
  Crocodile: Frankly I should be applauding him for making Straw Hat suffer, but I suppose the pirate in me would rather punch him in the face.
• Evil Counterpart: To Luffy. It is heavily hinted that Crocodile's true dream was to become the Pirate King, but after being defeated and maimed (by Whitebeard, judging by his obvious enmity and confirmed by Oda) he got obsessed with sadistically trampling dreams and hopes of those weaker than him. Unlike Luffy, who followed his dream even after suffering a soul-crushing defeat, Crocodile abandoned his, thinking that dreams, faith in others, etc. are all useless, and that the only thing that matters is sheer power, no matter how it is obtained. As a result, he became the complete opposite of Luffy in every way.
• Evil Is Petty: Crocodile keeps sending sandstorms to Yuba only because the mayor of the town refuses to give up faith that the town's water supply could be brought back and the place made liveable, no matter how frequently the sand buries the water.
• Evil Laugh: Crocodile has a creepy monotone staccato, said as "Kuhahaha".
• Evil Plan: His plan to take over Alabasta, from beginning to end, as it's what drives the arc.
• Evil Power Vacuum: After his defeat by Luffy, Crocodile is removed from the Warlords group. This created a vacancy that Blackbeard aimed to fill by capturing Luffy. However, instead of Luffy, Blackbeard captures Luffy's brother Ace. This event triggers the Paramount War, which has far-reaching consequences and repercussions.
• Evil Virtues: Despite all his nasty faults, Crocodile does have positive traits: He’s got brains enough to keep the WG in the dark, the patience for his plan to develop, has a 50/50 gender ratio amongst his top underlings and guts enough to take on Doflamingo or Mihawk and attack Whitebeard all on his own. To top it off, he has the absolute confidence to do it all! While it's not emphasized, he’s also willing to moderate his more vicious traits if the situation calls for it or if a person deserves better treatment, such as Daz Bones, or out of pragmatism if someone is difficult to replace and had otherwise been a loyal and useful employee, such as Bentham.
• Evil Sounds Deep: Comes with being voiced by Ryūzaburō Ōtomo. Or John Swasey.
• Faux Affably Evil: He seems like a cool-enough man to have a beer with despite him being the leader of an evil secret organization. 'Tis all an act, though, as he doesn't care for anyone other than himself.
• Fisher King: While he doesn't rule over it, Crocodile is very popular in Alabasta, already a desert kingdom, but with his Devil Fruit power, Crocodile can just as easily make his own desert and cause droughts without end just by being in the area if he wants to — which, considering his Weaksauce Weakness to any liquid, is all the time. To create a drought in the kingdom, however, he doesn't use his Sand-Sand Fruit but rain powder, putting the blame on King Cobra so to cause a rebellion.
• Foil: Surprisingly, with Buggy. Crocodile is a powerful, intimidating opponent who served as the first large-scale threat the Straw Hats faced and still manages to be a force to be reckoned. Buggy, on other hand, was outclassed by Luffy even in his initial arc, and subsequent appearances have him being source of comic relief rather than any kind of threat. Both of them used to dream of becoming the Pirate King, but eventually gave up and grew cynical. Of the two of them, however, Buggy is the one who actually has the courage to give his dreams a second try, ironically making him far more of a real pirate than Crocodile.
• For the Evulz: Even with all his intricate plans and important work to do, he still takes time out of his day to torture a determined old man trying to save his destroyed town by sending him regular destructive sandstorms. And his mind raping of Princess Vivi was largely unnecessary, but he still found it highly entertaining.
• Foreshadowing: When Crocodile defeats Luffy during their first fight, his left arm gets wet from from the fluids. Luffy is able to grab his arm and twist it a little, which is how Luffy's discovers Crocodile's weakness to water/fluids, something that Luffy later abuses during their second and third battles.
• Forgot About His Powers: In his frustration with having to deal with Luffy a third time, he forgoes his sand powers up until the end of the fight, mostly trying to hit him with a poisoned hook. It's quite clear that Luffy is way better at close combat than he is.
• Freudian Excuse: It's been heavily implied there's a reason he went from what was described as being very similar to Luffy in outlook to the cynical Jerkass he is now, and, since this is One Piece it's probably very sad.
• Fur and Loathing: And keep in mind that he lives in the desert. Justified because one of his explicit secondary powers is "immunity to heat".
• Genius Bruiser: He's a terrifying giant of a man with one of the more effective powersets even now (and boy, does he know how to use it to full effect), but he's also one of the more cunning planners of the series.
• Gratuitous Foreign Language: Italian, French, Spanish; his attack names run the gamut.
• Handicapped Badass: Both of his hands are pretty badass, but his Hook Hand is practically a Badass Transplant.
• Hidden Agenda Villain: The destruction of Alabasta was only the surface of his Gambit Roulette. If he couldn't find the Pluton, though, he would still take over the country as its new monarch.
• Hook Hand: One of Crocodile's main characteristic is the large golden hook in place of his left hand, which with his name form a clear nod to Captain Hook from Peter Pan. The hook is also removable, underneath is a poisonous hook, which almost kills Luffy. And underneath that hook is a dagger.
• How Dare You Die on Me!: Though he wasn't actually killed by the attack, Crocodile gets absolutely livid when Whitebeard is stabbed by one of his misguided allies.
• Intangibility: Like the vast majority of those who've eaten a Logia-type Devil Fruit, Crocodile has the power to instinctively disperse into elemental matter when struck and then reform, making him difficult to fight with physical force. Because Crocodile's specific element is sand, he can't do this if he's covered in fluid or if he's struck by something that's sufficiently damp.
• Just Between You and Me: Crocodile reveals the bomb that is set to go off in Alubarna when facing Vivi in the palace as a way of mocking her desire to save everyone. While he does try to finish her off, Luffy and Pell manage to save her, and she uses the knowledge about the bomb to find the cannon. He also leaves out a little detail about the bomb being on a timer.
• Kick the Dog: At one point he reveals that he personally and continuously tortured an old man who still believed there was water in Alabasta and wouldn't give up looking for it by using his Devil Fruit powers to completely dry up the area, just because.
• Knight of Cerebus: He's the first genuine villain to give Luffy a No Holds Barred Beat Down in their first fight, to the point that Luffy could only make him mad and not even hit him properly. Oh, and he's the only one so far to beat Luffy twice in one arc. It's also worth noting that the East Blue Saga had no central antagonist, just a collection of unrelated villains. Crocodile is the first antagonist whose presence encompasses an entire saga, setting the standard for all future sagas in One Piece going forward.
• Large and in Charge: He's more than 2 meters tall and is in charge of an entire criminal organization.
• Left for Dead: When he gets too angry with his foes or is too busy, he doesn't make sure that they're dead but instead leaves them in a deadly situation. This leads to his downfall in Alabasta against a Determinator like Luffy.
• Logical Weakness: His Devil Fruit powers, and by extension his evasiveness, rely on him being dry since he's made of sand. Simply making him wet will render him vulnerable since being wet prevents his sand from dispersing.
• Made of Iron: Rarely shown as his Logia powers prevents him from taking damage, but when Jozu who can lift mountains and block one of Mihawks attacks punches him, Crocodile not only remains conscious but also only bursts a single blood vessel as a result, proving that Crocodile is extremely durable.
• Make Them Rot: Part of his Sand-Sand Fruit's power set is "desiccation" — the ability to leech away moisture and cause solid matter to crumble into sand with a touch. People he kills with this wind up as shriveled mummy-like corpses, completely bled of water, though if he keeps draining he can reduce them to sand. Through the same power, he can also destroy inanimate material, such as causing stone to crumble into sand.
• Man Behind the Man:
  • During most of the Baroque Works Saga, the Straw Hats fight officers of the Baroque Works while Crocodile, the leader of the organization, works in the shadows and give orders to said officers.
  • Crocodile loaned Buggy the money necessary to start Buggy's Delivery. He's also behind the formation of Cross Guild alongside Mihawk while Buggy got involved because he wasn't able to pay back Crocodile, so he had to use his own organization as collateral instead. However, when the World Government mistakes Buggy for the leader of Cross Guild, Crocodile agrees to use Buggy as his public face while he pulls the strings from behind. Played with in that while Crocodile is technically the real leader, neither he nor Mihawk are able to command the loyalty of the Cross Guild. When Buggy goes against their demands by declaring to the Cross Guild that they're going after the One Piece, Crocodile and Mihawk can't do anything to stop it.
• Man of Wealth and Taste: Just look at his classy mafia outfit! Oh, and he prepares a feast for Vivi when he's holding her captive.
• Might Makes Right: Years went by during his time in the seas, before Crocodile came to view strength and military might as the only things in the world that are important, not dreams. To this end, he wishes to find Pluton to have the greatest military power in the world.
• My Greatest Failure: As a rookie, he was utterly defeated by Whitebeard which killed his dream of becoming Pirate King and shifted his attention to obtaining the ancient weapon Pluton.
• My Greatest Second Chance: Not of his own volition, but Crocodile is sent back into the race for the One Piece by Buggy.
• Mysterious Past: He has one that was alluded to by Ivankov. Whatever it is, its secrets were enough to keep him check during the breakout of Impel Down.
• Names to Run Away from Really Fast: He has the name of a carnivorous predator, and he's as dangerous as his name implies.
• Neck Lift: Crocodile holds Vivi by her neck with a single hand on the edge of a building, taunting about her inability to save Alabasta before letting her go so that she can plummet to her death. He later does the same to Luffy to win their second battle by dehydrating him upon grabbing his neck.
• Never Smile at a Crocodile: His obvious Animal Motifs is a crocodile. He also keep several gargantuan Bananadiles as pets.
• Nigh-Invulnerable: His Devil Fruit, being a Logia, makes him immune to everything. Unless it's wet, that is.
• Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: He's a pirate, sandman samurai, crime lord, and cowboy, as of the SBS.
• No Celebrities Were Harmed: His physical appearance is based off a young Steven Seagal.
• No-Nonsense Nemesis: While he may look and act suave, when he goes for the kill he'll do it swiftly and quickly, as seen with his first 2 fights with Luffy. On his third fight, though...
• Noodle Incident: Sometime in the past, he had a run-in with Ivankov, who gave Crocodile something that Crocodile owes him for and which Crocodile does not want anyone to know about. It hasn't been revealed what this damning and/or embarrassing secret is, but it's enough for Ivankov to give him An Offer You Can't Refuse.
• Nothing Personal: Though he likes to taunt his foes when he has them helpless, Crocodile is typically an impersonal criminal; he's mostly apathetic towards Luffy even after he destroyed his empire. His one exception to this was Whitebeard, and even then, he loses interest in killing him pretty quickly.
• Not So Stoic: Crocodile completely loses his cool when Buggy sends the Cross Guild into the race for the One Piece, biting into his cigar out of pure rage. Considering that Crocodile himself had given up on achieving that same dream long ago, it's likely a sore spot for him.
• Obviously Evil: Oda tends to draw him appearing more treacherous than any other character in the series. If there's a close-up on his face, expect it to be at an ominous angle, with plenty of creepy facial shadows. If he gets beat up, his hair will dangle in front of his face, making him look even creepier. If he's in a good mood, he'll give a Slasher Smile that'll put Doflamingo to shame. Hell, in his last appearance before the time skip, he's in a close-up panel giving the most sinister looking Slasher Smile the series has ever seen. Even the anime depicts him as having skin so pale he's two shades of grey away from being a full-blown Vampire.
• Off with His Head!: Doflamingo decapitates Crocodile during the Paramount War but, being a Logia, this is a minor annoyance to him and he quickly recovers.
• The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: Crocodile has a personal beef with Newgate, and for this reason he violently turns down Doflamingo's offer to team up against Whitebeard and saves Ace from his execution so that the World Government wouldn't have the upper hand on Whitebeard. Crocodile also becomes absolutely furious when Whitebeard allows himself to be stabbed by Squad.
• Person of Mass Destruction: He can turn entire cities into barren deserts if he wants to, and sometimes he does.
• Pet the Dog:
  • He of all people saves Luffy and Jimbei's lives from Akainu. Though the way he phrases it makes it sound like he's only looking to spite the Marines.
  • A somewhat literal example. The cover for chapter 860 depicts Crocodile holding an umbrella over a sad looking dog that was shivering in the rain. Being fan-requested cover art, the scene is not canon, but the fact that Oda took the request and the thought that one of the most despicable characters in the series has enough of a soft spot for dogs that he couldn't leave out in the rain is an amusing one.
• Power Nullifier: Crocdile has a seastone cage at his casino, which he uses so that neither Luffy or Smoker are able to break out of with their Devil Fruit powers.
• Properly Paranoid: His Crazy-Prepared tendencies are understandable since his Weaksauce Weakness to all liquids means that his powers are downright useless whenever it rains or he is immersed in water (such as when he is bathing). When you're vulnerable at very inopportune times, compounded with the fact that you're a pirate in a world that is ninety percent ocean, paranoia is generally an understandable, appropriate response and character trait.
• Put on a Prison Bus: Crocodile is taken to Impel Down at the end of the Alabasta arc. He eventually returns in the Impel Down arc, where Luffy busts him out so he can rescue Ace.
• Rank Scales with Asskicking:
  • Crocodile is the leader of Baroque Works and, thanks to his Logia Fruit, is by far its strongest member.
  • Zig-zagged in regards to Buggy's Cross Guild. Although publically Buggy is the leader of the guild and Crocodile is one of his top executives, Buggy is actually a Puppet King to both Crocodile and Mihawk who both only put Buggy in charge as a scapegoat.
• Red Baron: Like a lot of characters in the series, Crocodile has an epithet. Unlike the vast majority, he’s got two unique titles; “Desert King”, reflecting his mastery of his Logia Devil Fruit, and “Sir”.
• Refuge in Audacity: Zigzagged. Crocodile planned to found Cross Guild and issue bounties on marines but Buggy accidentally took all the credit and is mistaken for the leader. While initially angry, Crocodile agrees to Mihawk's proposal that having Buggy as decoy leader would let him keep a low profile.
• Revenge: His motivation to escape Impel Down is to get another chance at Whitebeard in the Paramount War after the latter humiliated him in the past.
• Sand Blaster: The Sand-Sand Fruit allows him to create, control, and turn into sand. He has such mastery over his powers that he can throw around sandstorms on par with tornadoes and No-Sell any physical attack by turning into sand at the exact moment of impact. His only weakness is that getting wet negates his ability to turn into sand which leaves him vulnerable. He's honed his powers to the point that he can drain water from any source, including straight from people's bodies. When he fights in a desert, like against Luffy in Alabasta, he's almost invincible.
• Self-Restraint: When Miss Doublefinger and other members of Baroque Works try to rescue him from prison, he and Daz Bones decide to stay and go to Impel Down. He was originally planning on staying in Eternal and Inferno Hell respectively for who knows how long, and left because he had a chance to kill Whitebeard at Marineford.
• Sentient Sands: He became living, moving sand in human form after eating the Sand-Sand Fruit.
• Shaping Your Attacks: "Desert Spada" and "Desert La Spada" are two attacks which consists in Crocodile shaping the sand into blades.
• Sherlock Scan: He only catches a brief glimpse of the Strawhats, but Crocodile still figures out exactly what they’ve been doing to counter any potential infiltrations by Mr. 2 Bon Clay.
• Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids!:
  • Crocodile used to dream of becoming the King of Pirates until his experiences turned him into a jaded and greedy pirate. He berates Luffy during their final round, after getting completely fed up with the young pirate, because he never gives up.
  • Crocodile repeatedly sends sandstorms to Yuba to break Toto's spirit, since he never gives up the hope to find water.
• Smoking Is Cool: His omnipresent cigar only adds to his mafia boss-like attire.
• The Social Darwinist: Displays some more benign aspects of this. Crocodile hates weakness, and people who believe in things without the strength to back them up; this is in opposition to Luffy who will fight for anybody's beliefs, no matter how weak they are.
• Spanner in the Works: His actions during the war in Marineford effectively stop the Navy from killing Ace right away, not to mention stop anyone who tries to block Luffy from rescuing him such as Doflamingo or Mihawk, as well as prevent Akainu from killing Luffy and Jimbe.
• Squishy Wizard: Crocodile has a very strong Devil Fruit and it's positively lethal, both directly in combat and indirectly with his ability to enhance and create sandstorms that can devastate whole cities. Additionally, his status as a Logia means most attacks are ineffective. However, he can't take hits well if they do connect. It doesn't take Luffy much to beat him once Crocodile foregoes his powers to try and fight hand to hand.
• Superpower Lottery: Quite possibly one of the most explicit winners: He's not just a Logia user, he's one that had the sense to explore the uses his particular Devil Fruit (Sand-Sand Fruit) gave him, and then some, using it in ways that a lot of people would've thought were outside the scope of 'moves sand'. Yeah, he's a one-man sandstorm, but he can make literally anything, living or nonliving, dry and, with time, even turn a lush green forest into a desert if he wanted to.
• Technicolor Toxin: His hidden hook is smeared in purple poison.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: During Whitebeard's assault on Marine HQ, Crocodile is forced to work together with Luffy by Ivankov. Doesn't mean either of them is happy about it, although Crocodile's not one to hold a grudge.
• Touch of Death: His Sand-Sand Fruit powers include being able to lethally desiccate anything he touches by draining its liquids, and one of his favored finishing moves is to grab somebody and drain them dry.
• Trademark Favorite Food: His favorite foods are crocodile meat (fittingly) and tomatoes.
• Underestimating Badassery:
  • The reason why he loses and his plan to take over Alabasta fails is because he severely underestimates how capable Luffy and the rest of the Straw Hats are. And boy did it piss him off.
  • He completely underestimates Buggy, seeing him as a useful Puppet King that'd be easily kept under foot. However, Buggy gets fed up with their laziness and outplays him and Mihawk by convincing their crews to go after the One Piece, whether Crocodile likes it or not.
• Utopia Justifies the Means: Subverted. It seems that Crocodile stages a massive coup against the throne of Alabasta to seemingly create a utopia for him and Baroque Works. However, the only reason he wants anything to do with the sand kingdom is because of a massive battleship called Pluton with the power to wipe out an island. By attaining it, he can establish the greatest military force the world has ever known which could even rival the World Government.
• Villain Has a Point: In his third fight with Luffy, Crocodile tells him that once he learned how cruel and dark the seas really are, he would forsake himself and his dreams. By the end of the War at Marineford, Luffy loses Ace and ends up exactly as Crocodile states, doubting himself for the first time in his life, believing he's too weak to be the Pirate King. Only with some encouragement from Jimbei and Rayleigh was he able to regain his desire to follow his dream again.
• Villainous Breakdown: After Luffy miraculously survives their first two fights and tries to fight him a third time, Crocodiles becomes increasingly more impatient and loses his cool, leading him into fighting out of rage and pure instinct and losing for good.
• Villainous Rescue: In the Marineford Arc, he manages to pull this off three times! First, he takes out two Marines about to execute Ace. Second, he takes on Mihawk to buy Luffy time to reach Ace and save Mr. 1 (his priority is the latter). Third, he takes on Admiral "punched a hole through the guy made of living fire" Akainu to rescue Luffy and Jimbei.
• Villainous Valor: Crocodile is a guy with no extraordinary physical skills or toughness, and Luffy just managed to pierce his invincible defenses, what does Crocodile do? Stand up, laugh at Luffy and tell him how weak he is before kicking his ass, for the second time. Crocodile has balls.
• Villain with Good Publicity: Crocodile's front as Alabasta's guardian make him revered in the country he's secretly trying to take over.
• Virtue Is Weakness: As mentioned above, he looks down at camaraderie beyond professionalism and sees believing in your dreams as foolish.
• Walking Wasteland: His Sand-Sand Fruit gives him two different ways of destroying his surroundings. Firstly, he can produce an endless supply of sand from his body, allowing him to simply bury things in tons of sand. Secondly, by employing his desiccation powers, he can suck the moisture out of a huge area, killing any living creature standing in it and causing all solid matter, including stone statues and buildings, to dissolve into sand — the latter method is even a named attack for him, which he calls "Ground Death". Fortunately, he can only cause this mass-sand conversion in whatever he touches with his hand or which is connected to what he's draining.
• Weak, but Skilled: By Logia standards, although he's capable of large-scale destruction, compared to someone like Akainu or Eneru he comes up decidedly short. He makes up for it with his overwhelming willingness to fight dirty and his almost reflexive mastery of his Devil Fruit.
• Weaksauce Weakness: Crocodile is an amazing strategist and has one of the deadliest powers in the series, but his Fruit powers are more susceptible to water and other liquids than other Devil Fruit users because of the element it uses. It's weak enough to the point a nice drizzle or being hit with any wet object (such as fists covered in blood, or sweat) will nullify his Logia powers temporarily. It's a good thing he's prepared for such events by being skilled in other combat arts.
• Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: When Crocodile traps most of the heroes in a cage, instead of just killing them while he has the chance, Crocodile decides to tell them his Evil Plan for the destruction of Alabasta and then tosses the key from a cage to one of his giant pet crocodiles, and later he just leaves them to die, allowing water slowly fill the room. To his credit, the key he throws is a fake one, but it's still no surprise that the situation doesn't end in Crocodile's favor.
• Why Won't You Die?: Crocodile defeats Luffy twice during the Alabasta arc, and both times the latter miraculously survives. When Luffy goes to face Crocodile for the third time, the Warlord is incredulous and becomes impatient, losing any coolness he had before.
• Wicked Cultured: He's just as classy as he is badass, even drinking fine wine and preparing a banquet for Vivi as he's holding her captive right next to the caged Straw Hats and Smoker.
• Wild Card: During the Marineford Arc, since he's on his own side and nobody else's, what he does is rather unpredictable. He originally focuses solely on killing Whitebeard, but after Squall stabs Whitebeard, he turns his attention towards attacking the Marines instead and helping Luffy save Ace since he didn't want them to have the satisfaction of killing Whitebeard before he did. After Whitebeard's death foils his plans, he continues to antagonize the Marines by preventing Akainu from killing both Luffy and Jimbei even though he was only in an Enemy Mine with them before and doesn't really care about either of them.
• Worthy Opponent: He seems to have gained some measure of respect for Luffy, if his saving of Luffy and co. at Marineford is anything to go by. It's worth noting that when meeting Luffy in Impel Down, after his defeat, he doesn't talk down to him, showing that Luffy isn't some dime-a-dozen rookie anymore to him anymore but someone actually worth acknowledging.
• You Are a Credit to Your Race: He says this to Jimbei as praise for him saving the Impel Down escapees by calling whale sharks. Merfolk can talk to fish, but most Fish-men are too carnivorous for fish to want anything to do with them.
• You Have Failed Me: The consequences of failing Crocodile aren't pretty: After he hears a report from "Mr. 3" (actually Sanji impersonating him) that the Straw Hat Pirates were still alive during their conversation after previously saying he eliminated them, he orders Mr. 2 Bon Kurei to eliminate him for lying about completing his mission. When Mr. 3 escapes this and returns to Crocodile, he instead feeds Mr. 3 to his Bananadiles (though, amazingly, he escapes alive from that as well). Hell, the Mr. 7 duo were willing to blow up the town center in Alubarna even risking getting caught in the blast, because they fear that much what Crocodile would do to them if they failed.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness:
  • He was willing to have almost all of his subordinates, including his Officer Agents, blown up along with the rest of Alubarna. Considering he was expecting to attain the ancient weapon Pluton afterwards, he didn't have much use for them anymore.
  • It's too bad for Ms. All-Sunday that Crocodile decides to kill her after she supposedly reads Alabasta's ponyglyph to him, though he doesn't end up succeeding in killing her. However, his attempt is somewhat Justified since she double-crosses him as well.
  • This is surprisingly subverted, though, in the case of Mr. 1, who went to Impel Down with Crocodile. As soon as the breakout occurs, he immediately goes to his cell for him to be his subordinate again. Now that's loyalty.

Devil Fruit: Dice-Dice Fruit

^{Click here to see his Impel Down attire}

"Are you going to... cut through a diamond next...?"

Chapter 196

The highest ranking Baroque Works officer (excluding Mr. 0), paired up with Miss Doublefinger. He is cold and collected and is a former bounty hunter and assassin, although he really doesn't get along with Mr. 2. He's also the most loyal of the subordinates, and the only one still working for Crocodile. He has eaten the Dice-Dice Fruit (Supa Supa no Mi) which allows him to turn any part of his body into a steel blade.

In the Alabasta arc, he engages in "Operation Utopia" and fights against Zoro, where he's defeated and sent to Impel Down. Later he escapes thanks to Luffy's intrusion, and after the Summit War, he decides to follow Crocodile in the New World.

His bounty is 75,000,000 Berries.

---

• Absurdly Sharp Blade: Mr. 1 can casually slice buildings to pieces with a swing of his arms, and he claims he can cut things on the atomic level.
• Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Due to his powers, Mr. 1 thinks no swordsman can beat him and spends most of his fight taunting Zoro, until the latter learns how to cut steel and defeats him.
• Badass in a Nice Suit: After the Paramount war, he sports a very nice suit, albeit with his tie loose, to indicate his status as professional assassin.
• Big Ol' Unibrow: Although not very thick and very easy to miss, he has a single unibrow that makes his face more serious.
• Blade Below the Shoulder: The Dice-Dice Fruit lets Mr. 1 turns any part of his body into a blade, like his entire forearm, only his fingers or his feet.
• Bounty Hunter: Used to be a bounty hunter before joining Baroque Works as an assassin.
• Cerebus Retcon: That "Superhero" joke from the Baroque Works cover story? According to All There in the Manual, he actually set out from a young age to be a hero, but his ideals ultimately were twisted to where he became a ruthless assassin.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: Lasts one panel against Mihawk at Marineford. Though he manages to gain Mihawk's respect, something not easy to do.
• The Dragon: After their escape at Impel Down, Daz Bones follows Crocodile in the New World, becoming his closest subordinate.
• Even Evil Has Standards: While Daz Bone is a cruel assassin, he values loyalty highly and is appalled by Buggy's closest crew members casually brushing off his impending death at the hands of Crocodile like it's nothing despite years of comradeship to save themselves.
• Evil Counterpart: Daz Bones is a contrast to Zoro. They both are deadly warriors that are defined by their serious and grim nature, were former bounty hunters that currently possess Undying Loyalty towards a slightly more powerful individual with dreams of becoming the Pirate King and use blades to kill people; they also have confirmed kills. If Zoro didn't have his honorable swordsman code and followed somebody more evil than Luffy, he really wouldn't be any different than Mr. 1.
• Fallen Hero: Supplemental material explains that Daz Bones wished to become a superhero (and still wishes to, as shown in Baroque Works' mini-adventure), but ended up becoming a corrupted mercenary.
• Graceful Loser: After Zoro manages to slice his steel, Mr. 1 admits defeat, asks if Zoro plans on cutting through diamond next, and falls unconscious.
• Hidden Depths: An extra arc in the manga had the heads of Baroque Works undergo an illusion that manifested their dreams and desires. For Daz Bonez? To be a superhero. While he looks uncomfortable (or at least embarrassed) on the outside, a thought bubble implies he is actually delighted. Of course, this also sets up a Stealth Pun as seen below...
• I Choose to Stay: Despite the possibility of avoiding being imprisoned, he, along with Crocodile, decides to remain in Impel Down. He later escapes during the riot made by Luffy.
• Implausible Fencing Powers: He can cut entire buildings without even touching them.
• Insistent Terminology: Despite his powers, he does not identify himself as a swordsman.
• Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Daz Bonez isn't a reassuring name.
• Nerves of Steel: Pun aside, despite all the heavy work and torture he goes through while a prisoner in Impel Down, he's completely unfazed.
• No-Nonsense Nemesis: In battle, he doesn't show any mercy and attacks Zoro even when he's wounded and cannot defend himself.
• No Shirt, Long Jacket: During the Alabasta arc. Justified since his entire body is as hard as steel and Alabasta is a desert island.
• Psycho for Hire: He's part of an organization of villains, and he's an higher-up at that.
• Put on a Prison Bus: Along with Crocodile, he's taken to Impel Down once Zoro defeats him in Alabasta. He eventually returns in the Impel Down arc, where he participates in the mass breakout.
• Razor-Sharp Hand: Of course, his hand can become a blade too.
• Razor Wind: Seems to be the case, considering he doesn't have to touch the thing he wants to cut. Though you can't see said wind.
• Scars Are Forever: Has a scar on his eye, showing that he's an experienced fighter.
• Scary Black Man: A dark-skinned man with possibly African features who's the right-hand man of renowned (former) member of the Seven Warlords and is formidable in combat with his slicing limbs.
• Single-Stroke Battle: After seeing how Zoro still stands up despite being wounded several times, Mr. 1 decides to finish him once and for all, but Zoro learns how to cut through steel and it's Mr. 1's defeat.
• Sleeves Are for Wimps: His Alabasta outfit is sleeveless. Justified since his fighting style revolves around turning any body part into a blade, especially his arms. (Though, on the other hand, he also turns his legs into blades at several points, and his pants/shoes are always fine afterwards.)
• Stealth Pun: Several. His Devil Fruit is called the Supa-Supa Fruit, which gives him super powers and his secret dream is to be a super hero. The obvious pun is "super", a play on "Supa". The second not-quite-as-obvious pun is that he is literally a Man of Steel. A "Supaman", if you will...
• The Stoic: He never jokes around, and remains serious and calm under any and all circumstances.
• Tattooed Crook: Has the kanji for "1" tattooed on his chest.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: He really doesn't get along with Mr. 2, but both work (though Mr. 2 not anymore) for Crocodile.
• Theme Naming: He (along with his partner, Miss Doublefinger) has a "sharpness" theme; In particularly, his attacks are a pun on "sparking", and ironically, "super-" (supa).
• This Is a Drill: His Spiral Hollow is essentially this, by making round blades on his forearms and spinning them rapidly.
• Undying Loyalty: Towards Crocodile. He got pissed when Zoro talked badly about him, stayed with him in jail when they could have both broken out, and when Crocodile finally does decide to leave, he follows him immediately and without question. Additionally, he obeyed his every order in the war, even if it was protecting Luffy from Hawkeye. Then he went to the New World with him.
• Walking Shirtless Scene: During his escape from Impel Down, he removes the shirt of his prison suit.
• Warrior Monk: His overall appearance in Alabasta evokes the look of a monk, indicating that he's a serious fighter.
• The Worf Effect: After controlling the fight for its majority, when Zoro discovers how to hear the "breath" of all things, Bonez gets taken out in a single hit. When he goes up against Mihawk, who already knows how to cut steel, he's taken down almost immediately.

Devil Fruit: Spike-Spike Fruit

Mr.1's partner and the highest ranking female member of Baroque Works, with the exception of Miss All Sunday. Like her partner, she's calm and professional, although feels sorry for Nami's awkwardness with her new weapon. She has eaten the Spike-Spike Fruit (Toge Toge no Mi) who gives her the ability to grow spikes able to pierce walls on all her body or turn her body parts in big spikes.

She's introduced as a barista named Paula (which is not her real name) before revealing herself as Miss Doublefinger. After the events of Alabasta she's captured but, before she could be taken to Impel Down, Miss Goldenweek, along with Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine, helps her escape and she re-opens the Spider Cafe to work as a barista (this time for real).

She has a bounty of 35,000,000 Berries.

---

• Affably Evil: Miss Doublefinger is in general quite friendly to her fellow Baroque Works members (unlike her partner who seems to be a Jerkass to everyone but Crocodile) and she even feels sorry for Nami when the latter's weapon doesn't work. Due to this, she goes somewhat easy on Nami at the beginning. When Nami finally learns to use her weapon, Doublefinger goes into killing mode, but by then it is already too late.
• Animal Motifs: A spider. It's in her epithet, the name of her Cafe and her outfit invokes the imagery of a cobweb.
• The Bartender: Her cover job, it's also revealed to be her biggest dream. By the end of Miss Goldenweek's mini-arc, this becomes her actual job.
• Blade Below the Shoulder: Ms Doublefinger has the ability to grow spikes from her body and turns her forearms into ones.
• Blown Across the Room: Thanks to Nami's final attack, she's sent flying through three buildings. Small wonder it didn't turn her to paste.
• Clark Kenting: Her barista identity, Paula, is just her with a pair of glasses, a bandana on her head and her hair tied into a ponytail.
• Clothing Damage: Averted. Although her Devil Fruit let her grows spikes all over her body, her clothes change shape with the body. Oda says the reason her spikes don't rip her clothes is because it would've gotten too erotic. The only exception is one of her techniques which destroys her sleeves as she grows spikes on her arms.
• Combat Stilettos: They're very small, but she can grow spikes under them.
• Dark Action Girl: Miss Doublefinger is a deadly and stoic assassin working for an evil organization, and is the most fight-oriented among all of the female Baroque Works members.
• Deadpan Snarker: Gives some snarky comments to her partner, Mr. 1, and then mocks Nami's (apparently) useless Clima-tact.
• Designated Girl Fight: She's the only female member of Baroque Work's team (not counting Miss Merry Christmas who's a Gonk) and fights Nami, the only female member of the Straw Hats at the time.
• Dub Name Change: Her name is changed to "Miss New Years' Eve" in the 4Kids adaptation. The pun still works though, see Meaningful Name for why.
• Growing Muscles Sequence: Among the things her Devil Fruit can do is to turn her fingers into syringes and then pump her muscles to make her attacks stronger.
• Hartman Hips: While her body isn't much different by the standard female girl's in One Piece, Miss Doublefinger's hips are more evident thanks to her Supermodel Strut.
• Hulking Out: Her "Toge dopping" technique turns her own fingers into syringes, then she pinches her own arms to increase her muscle mass and make stronger attacks.
• Impact Silhouette: When Nami defeats her by spinning her around and launching her through a building she leaves two different silhouettes at both ends of the building, each with her at a different orientation due to the spinning.
• Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Given her Devil Fruit, this is her favorite method of assassination.
• Meaningful Name: Oda explains that "Double finger" refers to his own style of body language he uses when he talks about January 1 (New Year's Day). He raises the index fingers on both of his hands which represents the month and the day.
• Ms. Fanservice: She's a beautiful woman with an Impossible Hourglass Figure and her Supermodel Strut emphasizes this.
• Oh, Crap!: Right before Nami uses her ultimate attack.
• Rolling Attack: In one of her attacks, Stinger Hedgehog (One must wonder what it references), she turns her entire body into spikes and rolls toward the opponent.
• Sincerity Mode: She actually sympathizes a little with Nami when she's trying to get the hang of the Clima-Tact since it just make Nami look like a fool. Granted not enough to stop her from killing her, but still...
• Spike Balls of Doom: With her Devil Fruit, Miss Doublefinger can turn her entire body into a large spiky ball to roll over the opponent.
• Supermodel Strut: Exaggerated and Parodied. Ms. Doublefinger swings her hips and legs to the farthest side she can manage with every step she takes, and she often has both her hands placed on her hips. Her Hartman Hips figure only emphasizes it further.
• Underestimating Badassery: Miss Doublefingers goes very easy on Nami because she doesn't consider her a real fighter, to the point of feeling genuine embarrassment for her. To be fair, even Nami herself isn't really confident about Clima-tact's utility at the beginning and is learning to use it in the middle of their fight.
• Use Your Head: Miss Doublefinger can change her hair into a ball of spikes and ram her opponent. Nami stops her with her foot, which gets pierced in the process.
• Villainous Breakdown: She keeps getting more frustrated during her fight with Nami as the latter keeps escaping.
• Wall Crawl: She can grows some spikes under her feet and walk on the walls or even the ceiling, and then land on her opponent with a spiked head.
• Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Miss Doublefinger plays a lot with Nami during their fight, allwing the latter to learn how to use the Clima-tact, her new weapon, and defeat Miss Doublefinger.
• Wolverine Claws: One of her most common attacks is turning her fingers into needles.

Devil Fruit: Clone-Clone Fruit

^{Click here to see his Impel Down attire}

"Straw-chan...!! I came to save you... in the name of friendship!!!"

Mr. 2 Bon Clay (or "Bon Kurei") is one of the more eccentric characters in the series, and that's saying something. A transvestite with a dance-based fighting style called Okama Kenpo (Crossdresser Martial Arts), the Clone-Clone Fruit (Mane Mane no Mi) that enables him to copy others' appearances, and an incredibly fruity and over the top personality, he is much more dangerous than he may appear, as he was the sole member of the second highest tier of the Baroque Works Officer Agents. Mr. 2 is prone to breaking out in song and twirling around, annoying those nearby to no end, and he shows a surprising level of loyalty towards his friends. And if you're wondering why he has no female calendar-themed partner, he's equal parts man and woman all by himself — and that's without using his Devil Fruit to pose as an actual girl.

He first meets the Straw Hats while they are en route to Alabasta after he has fallen overboard off his own ship, and gets along quite well with the more easily amused Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp. After being defeated by Sanji, he's deeply moved by what he saw as a gesture of sportsmanship, resulting in him and his flunkies distracting the Marines long enough for the Straw Hats to escape Alabasta. Afterwards, after a series of misadventures, Mr. 2 is arrested and sent to Impel Down.

During Luffy's attempt to rescue Ace, he's freed and ends up fighting alongside him, Buggy the Clown, and fellow Baroque Works agent Mr. 3. After Luffy is defeated by the warden Magellan and left to die in Level 5, Mr. 2 sets out to save him and find the imprisoned Emporio Ivankov, a transvestite king who allegedly has miraculous healing powers, dragging the unwilling Buggy and Mr.3 along for the ride as well. Afterwards Bon Clay stays behind and disguises himself as Magellan so that the Gates of Justice would open and the rest of his comrades could escape.

Fortunately, as fate would have it, after Ivankov's escape, Bon Clay has become the new leader of Level 5.5.

He has a bounty of 32,000,000 Berries.

---

• Affably Evil: He's very nice for being a member of an evil organization, it's no wonder he performs a Heel–Face Turn.
• Agent Peacock: Magnificently, with his flamboyant mannerisms and badass feats.
• Air Jousting: His fight with Sanji ends with one a-la Ken vs Shin. After that, he's defeated.
• Back-to-Back Badasses: He and Luffy pull this off epically in Impel Down against the blue gorillas.
• Beautiful All Along: While his garish outfit and wacky personality generally cause him to look very goofy, he's surprisingly handsome without makeup on and when acting serious.
• Bowdlerise: In the anime, the kanji on his coat are the characters for the Japanese word for ballerina rather than Okama, as in the manga (okama is slang for, among other possible definitions, transvestite, and by modern standards is considered overtly homophobic/transphobic in tone; an equivalent would be having "tranny" emblazoned across his coat), and his fighting style, Okama Kenpo, was renamed Ballet Kenpo. The 4Kids dub went one further and named his fighting style Crazy Karate. Movie 8, however, has the "Okama" kanji on his coat. Funimation naturally did not censor it.
  • Downplayed during the anime's take on the Impel Down arc. Bon Clay openly refers to himself as "gay", "queer" and "okama" several times, and incorporates those words into some of his attack names, but he tends to refer to his fighting style predominantly as "Oh, Come My Way", a syllabic equivalent to "Okama Way".
  • This is inverted in the German dub of the Alabasta arc, where they double down on homophobic/transphobic slurs, such as naming his Devil Fruit the "Tranny Fruit" and characters calling him a "faggot".
• Bring It: In an epic moment of awesomeness, Bon Clay drops his sissy act if only for a moment to tell Hina to come after him and his crew instead of the Straw Hats.
  Bon Clay: BRING IT ON, SISTER.
• Broken Pedestal: Downplayed. He views Ivankov as a miracle worker who can do anything. When he actually meets him, Ivankov's antics are a little much even for him and his healing methods are nowhere near the miracles Bon Clay expected. Ivankov outright tells him that he's not as good as the pretty picture Bon Clay has made in his mind. Bon Clay still acknowledges as a badass and is incredibly grateful to him for saving Luffy.
• Camp Straight: During his proper introduction, Mr. 2 Bon Clay tells Vivi that she's his type, and he is never shown to be attracted to men. Although given that Mr. 2 Bon Clay identifies himself as both genders, he's not exactly straight either.
• Campy Combat: Fitting for a flamboyant okama, Mr. 2's fighting style, the Okama Kenpo, is very feminine and graceful, reminiscent of a ballet.
• Catchphrase: "Stop joking around!"
• Charles Atlas Superpower: Mr 2's Devil Fruit doesn't give him any fighting ability, but he's one of Baroque Works' strongest agents thanks to his incredible strength. While in Impel Down, Mr. 2 defeat the Sphynx with his own kicks.
• Collector of Forms: Bentham ate the Clone-Clone Devil fruit, allowing him to mimic anyone's physical form provided he's touched their faces. When he meets the Straw Hats, he shows off his Devil Fruit ability by changing into many people he previously touched, including King Cobra.
• Crossdresser: Subverted. Despite the ballerina-inspired early outfit, he hasn't actually done any crossdressing, though he does claim to be both a man and a woman. His fellows in the Kamabakka Kingdom, however, go all-out drag (as do the Newkama of Impel Down... at least the ones retaining their original gender, the rest having been gone through a gender-swapping transmogrification using Ivankov's equally ambiguous gender bending powers).
• Curb-Stomp Battle: When Usopp meets Sanji after his fight with Mr. 2, he says that he and Eyelashes have been defeated by Mr. 2 in two seconds. One second each.
• Dance Battler: Okama Kenpo is largely based on ballet moves, most of which involve his feet. The swans decorations he wears are also fitting with his dance-like combat style.
• Determinator: He's definitely earned his credentials in this area during the Impel Down arc. Despite fighting hordes of enemies, he still keep going without slowing down.
• Disney Death: After covering the escape of Impel Down prisoners he is last seen in a last stand against Magellan where Bentham accepts his demise. However a cover story reveals that he survived and is the new leader of Newkama Land.
• Everyone Has Standards: Despite being flamboyantly camp, Bon Clay is dumbstruck when he sees the Newkama Kingdom hidden in Impel Down. In the dubbed anime, he even goes so far as to ask "who are these perverts?" as he takes in the residents. Part of the reason why he stops hero-worshipping Ivankov so intensely is because Ivankov is flamboyant and weird beyond even Bon Clay's ability to handle.
• Extremity Extremist: Downplayed; his fighting style, Okama Kenpo, is mainly based on kicks, but he also has plenty of open-handed punches, jabs and chops in the arsenal as well.
• Fights Like a Normal: He has Devil Fruit powers, but they have very little combat potential that he can take advantage of. That said, saying he fights like a normal person is probably generous...
• Gender Bender: He can freely become a woman by using his Clone-Clone Fruit's powers with a female target. And it's more than just a surface-level change. He once impersonated Nami and flashed the Straw Hats to prove his Devil Fruit's, er, 'completeness'. Nami was not amused.
• Gonk: Downplayed, since he's not that ugly, but when he tries to mix his face with the funniest parts he "collected" the only thing that changes it's his nose into Usopp's.
• Guyliner: He wears a lot of green eyeliner as part of his queer aesthetic. He weaponizes it by ripping his eyeliner off his face and throw it as projectiles.
• Happily Married: In the gag comic "Mugiwara Theatre: Family Time", he marries Nami in a beautiful ceremony. Turns out to be a dream cooked up by Sanji.
• Has a Type: He tells Vivi that she's his type upon meeting her for the first time.
• Heel–Face Turn: Since Bentham strongly believes in the power of friendship and, despite having fought the Straw Hats a little before, he sacrifices himself to let them escape from the Marines.
• Heroic Sacrifice: Somehow manages to pull this off in every arc he appears in:
  • He impersonates Luffy to distract the Marines at the end of the Alabasta arc.
  • In the manga-only cover story 'Meet Baroque Works' he took on Hina again, along with a fairly large force of Marines, to allow his fellow members to rescue Miss Valentine from execution. This led to his becoming imprisoned in Impel Down.
  • At the end of the Impel Down arc, he decides to stay behind so that he can impersonate Magellan and have the Gates of Justice opened so that Luffy and the rest of the escapees can sail away to freedom. He only tells Jimbei this to prevent the others from finding out, and while he's discovered by Magellan, he gets to bid a teary farewell to the entire group of escapees. Luffy actually complains about this, annoyed that Bon Clay is always the one doing the sacrificing.
• Hot-Blooded: A rather very passionate and spirited individual.
• Inconsistent Dub: After the censors gave up on covering transvestites in the anime (due to their prominent role from the Impel Down arc onwards), his fighting style was allowed to regain its manga name.
• Large Ham: Mr. 2 is very loud and flamboyant.
• Logical Weakness: He has the ability to perfectly mimic the body of anyone he touches but he can't use his kenpo while transformed, which makes sense as he wouldn't be as used to fighting with a body that isn't his own.
• Nice Guy: Even after being outed as one of the Baroque Works members, he's still very nice towards the Straw Hats, at least after they beat him and his group.
• Photographic Memory: Whether or not it is an effect of eating the Clone-Clone Fruit, Mr. 2 is capable of remembering every person he ever touched.
• Pink Girl, Blue Boy: Mr. 2 main outfit is a pink jacket over a blue ballerina outfit, combining traditionally feminine and masculine color to emphasize how, as an okama, he's both man and woman.
• The Power of Friendship: A firm believer of this. He oozes this from his pores at the end of the Alabasta arc, and goes into overdrive in Impel Down.
• Pragmatic Villainy: Part of the reason he takes the Straw Hat's ship is to invoke a team-up to escape the Marines, but by the end he willingly gets captured to let his friends escape.
• Shapeshifter: His Devil Fruit gives him the power to transform into any person he touches and can also combine the pieces of all the people he touched.
• Shapeshifter Mashup: Parodied. His Clone-Clone Montage is supposed to be this (taking aspects of different people he's touched to make a new face) which he tried to use on Sanji to make the world's weirdest face to make him laugh. 90% of the "new face" was his own with the only difference being his nose which was that of Usopp's.
• Shape Shifter Default Form: Though he can take any physical form so long as he's touched that person, Bon Clay always delivers the actual attack in his normal form. He explains that his best techniques require a perfect understanding of his body's strength and limitations, which he'd never have in someone else's body.
• Shape Shifter Guilt Trip: Subverted when he tries turning into Usopp and Sanji still kicks his face in, but Double Subverted as soon as he turns into Nami and Sanji turns into lovestruck goo. Mr. 2 himself mentally comments that he can't believe it's that easy.
• Shapeshifter Showoff Session: The Straw Hat Pirates first meet Mr. 2 on friendly terms, so he shows off the shapeshifting powers of his Clone-Clone Fruit, first by turning into members of the crew whose faces he's touched, then by turning into other people he's met in the past. Unfortunately for him, once the Straw Hats learn that he's an agent of Baroque Works, they already know how his powers work and are able to prepare a countermeasure in case he tries to shapeshift into any of them.
• She Is the King: Inverted. After the events of Impel Down, Betham becomes the new queen of Newkama Land after Ivankov escapes Impel Down.
• Showing Off the New Body: Played for laughs when he turns into Nami and flashes Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper, taking their collective breath away. Nami is not amused.
• Sissy Villain: As a member of Baroque Works, Mr. 2 is an evil and skilled crossdressing spy.
• Inconsistent Spelling: His name should actually be spelled "Bon Kurei", a reference to a Buddhist festival, yet "Bon Clay" is far more deeply ingrained in the fandom due to early fan translations and later official ones – in both English and Japanese – using Clay. Part of the rationale, apart from sounding similar, is that Clay references his morphing abilities.
• Stealth Pun: Mr. 2 proudly calls himself an okama. Okama is a Japanese slang term that can refer to a gay man or male crossdresser. The term literally means pot and is derived from the slang usage of the term to refer to the buttocks in regards to certain "homosexual male interactions," and in modern Japanese society is outright considered a homophobic and transphobic slur. The bottom half of Mr. 2's Baroque Works outfit has him wearing very big and distinctively shaped almost pot-like pantaloons that emphasize his pelvic region.
• Theme Naming: Mr. 2 Bon Kurei is unique among the Officer Agents because he considers himself to be both male and female, and doesn't have a partner. As such, he follows both genders' themes and gets both a number and a holiday^note Two holidays, in fact; the Obon festival, and the Kure, the festivity for the end of the year as his codename.
• Token Good Teammate: Unlike the Mr. 1, 3, 4, and 5 pairs, Mr. 2 is friendly even before his Heel–Face Turn. When he meets the Straw Hats, he's very friendly and entertains them for a while, although this is before he learns the Straw Hats are wanted by Baroque Works, and is one of the few to perform a Heel–Face Turn, which happens without any major change of personality.
• Took a Level in Kindness: Sure, Heel–Face Turn and all, but between his passion about friendship and later acts of badassery, it's easy to forget that this is the guy who framed the incredibly caring King of Alabasta, then ran away laughing about it. Compare that guy to the Bon Clay who saved Luffy in Impel Down. Yeah.
• True Companions: And how! He never leaves his friends behind. Even when he ran away when Luffy faced Magellan, he came back to save him. Without Bon's cheers, Luffy would have died from injuries sustained in that previous encounter. Heck, he even sacrificed himself twice to save Luffy & Co., the last time he even faced Magellan without any regrets.
• What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: The Clone-Clone Fruit has proven to be a very underwhelming and underutilized Fruit for combat purposes. It serves next to no fighting purpose than exchanging the user's physical traits for their opponent's, something a trained martial artist like Bentham can't and doesn't make use of to fight. However, as Bentham and its previous owner in Wano Country demonstrate, shapeshifting is capable of changing the political balance of the world itself, and their actions have left profound effects on the One Piece world.
• Villainous Rescue: In Miss Goldenweek's mini-adventure, he saves a captured Miss Valentine. It doubles as a Heroic Sacrifice since he ends up being captured because of this.

Mr. 3 / "Loan Shark" Galdino

"Loan Shark" Galdino

Voiced by: Nobuyuki Hiyama (JP), Tom Souhrada (EN, 4Kids), Duncan Brannan (EN, Funi), Gustavo Carrillo (4Kids) (Latin American Spanish)

Age: 35 (Pre-Timeskip), 37 (Post-Timeskip)

Debut: Chapter 117 (Manga), Episode 70 (Anime)

Devil Fruit: Wax-Wax Fruit

"If I told you I was here to mourn my fallen comrade and avenge him, would you laugh at me?!"

Chapter 571

One of the officer agents of Baroque Works. He is regarded as the smartest of the officers and only got the position of "Mr. 3" because of that. He has eaten the Wax-Wax Fruit (Doru Doru no Mi) which allows him to create and control candle wax at will.

He faces the Straw Hats at Little Garden and gets defeated, after which he then travels to Alabasta to try and tell Mr. 0 about them, but gets fed to a giant bananadile. Thankfully, he turns out to be still alive and (reluctantly) helps the captured Straw Hats and Smoker escape creating a wax key.

After the events at Alabasta, he is sent to Impel Down, where he befriends Buggy and assists in a break out, then heads with Luffy to Marineford and finally joins Buggy's crew.

He has a bounty of 24,000,000 Berries.

---

• Arc Villain: Mr. 3 is the main villain of the Little Garden arc. He's not the only villain in said arc, but he's the main threat and the one who's in charge, while Mr. 5, Miss Valentine and Miss Goldenweek acts more as his subordinates.
• BFS: He's able to make a giant sword made of wax and uses one to pin Broggy's hand in place.
• Butt-Monkey: Fate just loves to crap all over him, as he's not taken very seriously outside of the Little Garden arc (and to an extent, even in that arc). It improves a bit in Marineford, though.
• Combination Attack: Galdino's wax is able to reinforce the strength of someone else's attack, like covering Luffy's punch with wax to make it hit harder.
• Demoted to Extra: The 4kids dub cut out the whole Little Garden Saga. As such, he appears out of nowhere during the Alabasta arc as a random, clueless fool who can only tell bad jokes before Crocodile punishes him.
• Dirty Coward: He runs at the first sign of real danger despite his powers. He's not as much of a coward during the Impel Down arc onwards as he occasionally puts himself at great risk to help Luffy.
• Due to the Dead: As he believes Bon Clay died freeing him from Impel Down, he decides to sneak onto the execution platform to save Ace, to honor Mr. 2's sacrifice.
• Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: His wax is highly resistant to Magellan's poison and it takes the jailer's strongest poison to melt through it.
• Enemy Mine: He teams up with Luffy during the breakout of Impel Down and proves to be a key player in freeing Ace.
• Evil Genius: He's got his high position among Officer Agents because of his intellect. He's able to trick Dorry into drinking wine loaded with explosives so he'll lose the duel with Broggy, and traps his victim into wax sculptures. However, he's not strong physically and loses quickly in a direct fight.
• Expressive Hair: During one scene in the anime, his hair forms a question mark when he asks a question, then shifts to an exclamation point when he figures out the answer.
• Fire-Forged Friends: After meeting up with Buggy in Impel Down and realizing they both plan to use Luffy to escape, makes the two bond. After the events of Marineford, Galdino even joins the Buggy Pirates but when Crocodile comes to collect Buggy's debts, Galdino immediately rejoins his former boss and says that he aligned with Buggy only out of convenience.
• Flaming Hair: Only when he wills it, thanks to his Devil Fruit power. It bites him in the ass in Little Garden when Luffy uses it to burn a rope Usopp and Karoo has set up, setting his entire wax sculpture ablaze and his plan crashing into a fiery mess.
• Four Eyes, Zero Soul: He wears glasses and he's a genius prick who attempts murdering the Straw Hats at Little Garden.
• Heart Is an Awesome Power: It turns out his wax powers are really useful because it can become as hard as steel, block lethal acid, and create master keys immune to Seastone. The last bit makes Galdino an invaluable player in the breakout of Impel Down and the war to rescue Ace.
• Hidden Depths: To honor of his former comrade Mr. 2, someone he has shown almost nothing but disdain for up till that point, Galdino helps Luffy to free Ace by disguising himself as a guard and making a copy of Ace's handcuffs key.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: On Little Garden, Luffy uses the fire on his hair to light ablaze the wax sculpture encasing his friends. Luffy also uses a wax weight Galdino put around his legs to smash the wax monument he trapped the others in.
• Hypercompetent Sidekick: He's the only person among Buggy's Impel Down escapee followers to realize that Buggy's being overhyped and tries to talk Buggy down when he's in over in his head.
• Imagination-Based Superpower: The ability to manipulate wax is limited only by his imagination. Considering his personality, he mainly uses to make work of arts out of his victims.
• Improbable Hairstyle: His hair is styled in the shape of a "3", and when using his powers, it appears as if it's on fire, like a candle.
• Insufferable Genius: Galdino is smart, but also a total prick. Jailtime helps fix that.
• Know When to Fold Them: He realizes it's time to retreat when Magellan whips out his strongest poison, as he knows it's to much for his wax to handle.
• Loan Shark: Averted. Although his epitaph is literally "Loan Shark", he's never shown doing any retaliation.
• Logical Weakness: As hard as he can make it become, wax is still just wax, so fire or anything else at a high temperature melts it right off. He fully admits he's useless against fire and heat powers like Akainu and Ace or in a hot environment like the starvation and burning heat hell levels of Impel Down.
• Mad Artist: His idea of "art" is trapping his victims in wax, essentially turning them into life-sized wax statues, and having his partner Miss Goldenweek paint them.
• Powered Armor: His Candle Champion is a wax suit of armor that grants Galdino additional power and defense, and it looks (and in the anime, sounds) like a giant robot.
• Professional Butt-Kisser: Once Crocodile is back in the mix as a part of Cross Guild and he believes that Buggy is going to be killed by him, Galdino tries to save himself by sucking up to his (former) boss on how nice it is to work under him again.
• Shaping Your Attacks: He can create a large variety of objects using his wax powers, from shackles to swords to giant cakes with jack-o'-lanterns on top.
• Small Name, Big Ego: He thinks he can even take Mr 2's place in the Baroque Works. Crocodile reminds him that he's even weaker than Mr 4, and the only reason he's ranked higher is because he's smarter than Mr. 4.
• Smug Snake: Mr 3 is very smug and is an artistic perfectionist but he's not much of a direct combatant.
• Spanner in the Works:
  • Crocodile's plan to drown the Straw hats and Smoker would have worked, if Sanji didn't force Galdino to make a wax key for their cell.
  • He manages to save Marco at Marineford by using his wax keys to unlock his Seaprism stone handcuffs.
• Squishy Wizard: His Wax-Wax fruit is very powerful and versatile but he can't fight enemies directly and needs to have them trapped beforehand. When Luffy finds Mr. 3, he knocks him out in one punch.
• Support Party Member: His wax powers alone are not exactly useless, but they are far more useful when combined with other people, such as his former partner Miss Goldenweek and Luffy.
• Took a Level in Kindness: He's a bit nicer after Luffy sets him free in Impel Down as he willingly puts his life in danger on two separate occasions to repay both Luffy and Bon Clay for their kindness.
• Verbal Tic: He ends his sentences with "-gane".
• Villain Team-Up: He partners up with Buggy during their escape in Impel Down, as they just want to break free instead of helping Luffy. After Marineford, he becomes a part of Buggy's crew.
• Vocal Dissonance: Mr. 3 has a rather thuggish face that wouldn't look out of place on a Loan Shark, but his voice doesn't match it in both languages. In the original Japanese he has a rather high pitched sing-song voice, and in the English dub his voice sounds like more of a high pitched British accent.
• Wax Museum Morgue: His Giant Candle Service Set slowly cover its victims with wax, turning them into wax statues.
• Weak, but Skilled: As stated by Crocodile, Mr. 3 is weaker than Mr. 4. However, he has a higher rank because of his mind, and his plot comes very close to killing most of the Straw Hats and the giants on Little Garden.

Miss Goldenweek / "Flag-Bearer of Freedom" Marianne

"Miss Goldenweek" Marianne

Voiced by: Akiko Nakagawa (JP), Cherami Leigh (EN), Nycolle González (Netflix) (Latin American Spanish)

Age: 16 (Pre-Timeskip), 18 (Post-Timeskip)

Debut: Chapter 117 (Manga), Episode 70 (Anime)

Mr. 3's partner. She's not much suited for combat and generally just gives support to her partner (such as painting his wax statues), with whom she gets along, but is able to use a special technique known as Colors Trap which allows her to control a person's behavior by drawing a symbol either next to the subject (contact is required) or directly on him/her. The effect depends upon the color used.

After the events of Little Garden, she's not seen until her own starring mini-adventures, which take place after the Alabasta's arc. She, with the help of Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine, frees some of her fellow Baroque Works members.

Her bounty is 29,000,000 Berries.

---

• And I Must Scream: The targets of Colors Trap's hypnosis are usually conscious of it but cannot move on their own will, like Luffy who, under the effect of Calming Green, is evidently very angry underneath.
• Art Attacker: Ms. Goldenweek's Colors Trap. It's explained as a sort of hypnosis.
• Badass Normal: Although not exactly an Action Girl, she's still paired with the third highest ranked Baroque Work agent, this despite lacking a Devil Fruit power.
• Blush Stickers: She has permanents circles of blush that emphasize her young age.
• Bull Seeing Red: Her Colors Trap "Bullfight red" (Togyu no Aka) induces the target to attack the red symbol.
• Color-Coded Emotions: Some of her Colors Trap techniques change the target's emotions based on the symbol's color.
  • Laughter Yellow (Warai no Kiiro): makes the target laugh uncontrollably.
  • Sadness Blue (Kanashimi no Ao): makes the target sad.
  • Calming Green (Nagomi no Midori): makes the target relaxed.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: After Luffy breaks free from Colors Trap, she's quickly defeated offscreen by Karoo.
• A Day in the Limelight: She stars in her own mini-adventure: Miss Goldenweek's "Operation: Meet Baroque Works" in which, with the help of Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine, she helps her fellow Baroque Works members to escape before being sent off to Impel Down.
• Disobey This Message: Betrayal Black (Uragiri no Kuro) induces the target to disobey every order.
• The Dragon: To Mr. 3 in the Little Garden arc. She's his partner and is closer to him than Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine.
• Dub Name Change: Known as "Miss April Fool's Day" in the 4Kids dub.
• Everything's Better with Rainbows: "Rainbow of Dreams" (Yume no Nijiiro) turns someone into whatever they dream of the most. In her case, she becomes a painter.
• Fluffy Tamer: With her "Yellow-green of friendship" (Tomodachi no Kimidori), she befriends a pterodactyl.
• Hidden Depths: The Little Garden arc portrays her as an utter Lazy Bum with a distinct Lack of Empathy, apathetic enough to help out with Mr. 3's Death Trap and casually confirm its Kryptonite Factor to Luffy and Usopp. But when her cover arc rolls around, she suddenly decides to launch a dangerous rescue mission at absolutely no gain to herself, for a bunch of coworkers she probably hasn't even met.
• Little Miss Badass: A young teenager and one of Baroque Works highest ranked agents.
• Logical Weakness: In order to work, Colors Trap's symbols must be in contact with the target. If the target is not touching it, there's no hypnosis. Also, it works better on the simple-minded (like Luffy), therefore a smarter person is probably immune to it.
• Meaningful Name: Her name comes the national symbol of the French republic, and her Red Baron is taken from Eugène Delacroix's "Liberty Leading the People". Fittingly, she has an artistic theme and saves her comrades before they are taken to Impel Down.
• Mid-Battle Tea Break: Miss Goldenweek manages to control Luffy and force him to have a picnic tea with her while Zoro, Nami and Vivi are stuck in Mr. 3's deadly trap.
• More Deadly Than the Male: Bounty-wise, she is actually above her partner Mr. 3, even if she's not a better fighter.
• Non-Action Guy: Besides Colors Trap, Miss Goldenweek is useless in combat.
• Older Than She Looks: She's actually 16-years-old, 18 after the Time Skip, the same age as Vivi, but can pass off for a child half her age.
• Paper-Thin Disguise: While not too blatant, Hina manages to see through her disguise.
• Personality Power: Miss Goldenweek's combat style revolves around painting symbols and her dream is becoming a painter.
• Squishy Wizard: Her Colors Trap is strong, but once Luffy and Usopp figure out a counter, she has nothing else going for her. Carue the Team Pet takes her down solo.
• The Stoic: She rarely shows any emotion, further helped by the brim of her hat often obscuring her eyebrows. In the cover story focusing on her, she's a bit more expressive.
• Wrong Context Magic: Colors Trap doesn't originate from any kind of Devil Fruit, and barely has an explanation of how it works except that it's some sort of hypnosis.

Lassoo's Devil Fruit: Dog-Dog Fruit, Model: Dachshund

Mr. 4 on the left, Lassoo, his dog-bazooka, on the right

One of Baroque Works' officer agents. He's partnered with Miss Merry Christmas and, in contrast to the latter Motor Mouth, he's very slow and dimwitted. He rarely takes any initiative and is his partner the duo's driving force.He's very strong, able to wield a four ton baseball bat and has a bazooka named Lassoo which has (somehow) eaten the Dog-Dog Fruit (Inu Inu no Mi), Model: Dachshund, turning it into a bazooka-dog that sneezes explosives baseballs.

After the Alabasta's arc, he's captured but escapes before reaching Impel Down thanks to Miss Goldenweek and begins to work as a pizza delivery boy at the new Spider Cafe.

His bounty is 3,200,000 Berries, the lowest of all the officer agents.

---

• Abnormal Ammo: His bazooka shoots explosive baseballs!
• Almighty Janitor: A mild example, but he and his partner are stronger than the third duo. However, the latter are ranked higher because they're smarter. Inverted in regards to his bounty, which is actually lower than either Mr. 5 or Miss Valentine's, but he still technically outranks them.
• Animorphism: Lassoo, Mr. 4's bazooka, has the ability to turn into a Dachshund.
• Badass Normal: Doesn't have any Devil Fruit, but is still really strong.
• Batter Up!: Has such incredible arm strength that he can swing a four ton bat with ease. Not only does it enable him to effortlessly hit the heavy time bombs his dog Lassho shoots, but he can also use it to assault people. Miss Merry Christmas was actually shocked that Usopp survived a direct blow from it.
• BFG: Lassooo, his bazooka-dog that shoots baseballs.
• Brains and Brawn: The brawn to Miss Merry Christmas's brain. Since Mr. 4 is a Dumb Muscle.
• Carry a Big Stick: His main weapon is an extremely heavy bat.
• Charles Atlas Superpower: Has no difficulty in swinging a four ton bat. Although he's shocked upon seeing Usopp lifting an (apparently) five ton hammer.
• Dual Boss: Unlike the other pairs, Miss Merry Christmas and Mr. 4 also fight together and the former is also the one responsible for the fight strategy. Miss Merry Christmas digs tunnels around the battlefield after turning into a mole, while Mr. 4 uses said tunnels to attack his enemies from multiple points.
• Dumb Blonde: Mr. 4 has blonde hair and is the dumbest out of all the officier agents. Still, he's very good at sending baseballs, with timed explosions, in a way that they explode right next to his enemies.
• Dumb Muscle: Again, he's not smart, but he's very strong. Miss Merry Christmas compensates for the "dumb" part.
• Evil Duo: Mr. 4 and Miss Merry Christmas. Those two moreso than the others because they even fight together, with Miss Merry Christmas digging tunnels through which Mr. 4 can appear to attack his enemies.
• Gonk: Mr. 4 is fat and has a dumb face.
• Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Mr. 4 is very tall while his partner is a short old lady.
• I Just Shot Marvin in the Face: Usopp tricks Mr. 4 into accidentally hitting his partner with his bat.
• It Runs on Nonsensoleum: How does a gun eat a Devil Fruit? In hindsight, this foreshadows one of the discoveries of Vegapunk, a character who's not mentioned until a hundred chapters later.
• Living Weapon: Lasso, his dog-bazooka. Courtesy of the Dog-Dog Fruit, Model: Dachshund.
• Meaningful Name: His name is reference Babe Ruth, widely considered one of the greatest baseball players to have ever lived, and Mr. 4 fights sending explosive baseballs towards his enemies.
• Oh, Crap!: Has this reaction when he sees that Usopp can lift a five ton hammer... except it's a fake one that barely weighs a pound.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The blue to his partner's red. Mr. 4 is calm and slow while Miss Merry Christmas is short tempered and talks really fast. This dynamic makes their personalities stand out more.
• Scarf of Asskicking: Wears an orange scarf around his neck and can hit you with a really heavy bat.
• Simpleton Voice: Mr. 4. He's also a really slow talker and his partner rarely allows him to finish his sentences.
• Stout Strength: Mr. 4 is quite fat with skinny arms, but is strong enough to swing a 4-tonne baseball bat around without breaking a sweat.

Devil Fruit: Mole-Mole Fruit

^{Click here to see her half mole form}

One of Baroque Works' officer agents and Mr. 4's partner. She has eaten the Mole-Mole Fruit (Mogu Mogu no Mi) which grants her the ability to turn into a human-mole and dig large tunnels.

After the events of Alabasta, she's captured but escapes with Miss Goldenweek's help and begins to work in the new Spider Cafe as a princess-waitress.

She has a bounty of 14,000,000 Berries.

---

• Animorphism: Miss Merry Christmas' Devil Fruit allows her to turn into a mole.
• Brains and Brawn: She doesn't actively fight but compensates for Mr. 4's not too bright brain.
• Dual Boss: Unlike the other pairs, Miss Merry Christmas and Mr. 4 also fight together and the former is also the one responsible for the fight strategy. Miss Merry Christmas digs tunnels around the battlefield after turning into a mole, while Mr. 4 uses said tunnels to attack his enemies from multiple points.
• Dub Name Change: Her name is changed to "Miss Groundhog Day" in the 4Kids adaptation.
• Evil Redhead: Has red hair and is a member of an evil organization.
• Fiery Redhead: Her red hair denotes her very short temper and she often gets angry at her partner.
• Gonk: Time definitely hasn't been kind to her and her hybrid form is even gonkier.
• Hoist by Her Own Petard: Chopper and Usopp turn the tables on her, and trick Mr. 4 into hitting her instead of Usopp.
• Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Miss Merry Christmas is very short while her partner is twice as tall as her.
• I Am Not Weasel: After seeing Miss Merry Christmas' hybrid form, Usopp thinks she can turn into a penguin instead of a mole. She is not amused by that and quickly corrects him.
• Jerkass: She often verbally abuses her partner, and mocks Luffy for being overconfident, believing that he'd died fighting Crocodile.
• Miniature Senior Citizens: She's both the oldest and shortest Officer Agent, in contrast to the large Mr. 4.
• Mole Men: With the Mole-Mole Fruit, Miss Merry Christmas can become a mole-woman hybrid, although Usopp thinks she looks more like a penguin.
• More Deadly Than the Male: Maybe not in terms of actual physical strength, sure, but it's clear that she's both the leader of the Mr. 4 trio and the one who coordinates the lethality of their strategies. Notably, once she goes down, Mr. 4 and Lassoo are goners.
• Motor Mouth: Miss Merry Christmas talks really fast and rarely allows Mr. 4, who, by contrast, talks really slow, to finish his sentences.
• Oh, Crap!: After an explosive baseball covers the area with smoke, Miss Merry Christmas realizes she's screwed when Chopper catches her and ram her toward Mr. 4.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The red to her partner's blue. Miss Merry Christmas is short tempered and talks really fast while Mr. 4 is calm and slow. This dynamic makes their personalities stand out more.
• Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids!: She mocks Luffy's dream of becoming Pirate King right in front of Usopp. The latter yells that he won't allow anyone to laugh at his captain and promptly kicks her ass.
• Sinister Shades: She's a criminal who always wears a pair of sunglasses, even in her prison attire.
• The Strategist: Since Mr. 4 isn't very smart, Miss Merry Christmas has to be the brain for both of them. During the battle with Mr. 4 against Usopp and Chopper, Miss Merry Christmas gives directions to her partner.
• Tunnel King: Miss Merry Christmas is able to turn into a mole and dig a lot of tunnels. Said tunnels are also part of her and Mr. 4's fighting strategy, in which Miss Merry Christmas dig the tunnels and Mr. 4 uses them to attack the enemy from multiple directions.
• Wolverine Claws: Miss Merry Christmas' mole transformation sports huge claws, although they're used for digging, not for attacking.
• Verbal Tic: Often ends her sentences with "Ba" - because she's such a Motor Mouth that she can't be bothered to say "Baka" in full.

Age: 24 (Pre-Timeskip), 26 (Post-Timeskip)

Debut: Chapter 110 (Manga), Episode 65 (Anime)

Devil Fruit: Bomb-Bomb Fruit

The lowest ranked officer agent and Miss Valentine's partner. He has eaten the Bomb-Bomb Fruit (Bomu Bomu no Mi) who turned into a human-bomb and allows him to make any part of his body explode (even his breath and mucus).

He first appears on Whiskey Peak and Little Garden along with Miss Valentine, where he poses as a small threat. After the Alabasta Arc, he and his partner Miss Valentine assist Miss Goldenweek in helping some of his fellow Baroque Works members escape and later begins to work as a firefighter.

His bounty is 10,000,000 Berries.

---

• Abnormal Ammo: Thanks to his devil fruit, Mr. 5 can weaponize any part of his body, even breath or snot.
• Action Bomb: His strongest attack is to make his entire body explode without any damage.
• Arc Villain: He's the main "threat" of the Whiskey Peak Arc, along with his partner Miss Valentine.
• Badass Longcoat: Wears a trenchcoat with two "5"s on it.
• Butt-Monkey: He's indeed a badass, but not enough to pose any kind of threat to Luffy and Zoro. In the Whiskey Peak Arc, he's not taken seriously.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: Has no problem defeating Mr. 8 and Miss Wednesday. Later, along Miss Valentine, is on the receiving end against Luffy and Zoro.
• The Dreaded: When he and his partner Miss Valentine appear at Whiskey Peak, Vivi and Igaram are terrified. For Luffy and Zoro, he's little more than an annoyance.
• Extreme Omnivore: Downplayed, but during his battle with Usopp on Little Garden, he eats Usopp's Exploding Star projectile, commenting on the inferior quality of Usopp's gunpowder. Usopp ultimately manages to outwit him by faking him out into eating what Mr. 5 thinks is another Exploding Star, but is actually Usopp's new super-spicy Tabasco Star.
• The Gunslinger: Although he doesn't use it very often, Mr. 5 has a revolver which he loads with his breath. He's quite good at using it.
• Having a Blast: With his Devil Fruit, Mr. 5 can make every part of his body explode (without harming himself), including his boogers and breath. He can also release a full-body explosion.
• Ignored Enemy: When Luffy and Zoro are fighting each other, Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine are not even considered, much to their anger. When they are finally considered, they are quickly punched away.
• No Celebrities Were Harmed: He's based on musician Lenny Kravitz, who also published an album named "5".
• No-Sell: Thanks to his Devil Fruit, Mr. 5 is immune to all types of explosives. Usopp finds this out the hard way when his Explosive Stars has no effect on Mr. 5.
• Non-Fatal Explosions: As a Required Secondary Power, his explosions have no effect on himself.
• No Shirt, Long Jacket: While trying to hide his identity from the Marines, Mr. 5's disguise consists of a jacket with nothing underneath.
• Overshadowed by Awesome: He's the fifth highest ranked Baroque Works agent, but cannot compare to the ones above him or Luffy and Zoro.
• Paper-Thin Disguise: Hina easily sees through his disguise.
• Revolvers Are Just Better: Mr. 5 carries a gun loaded with his explosive breath.
• Scary Black Man: Although not as scary as Mr. 1, he's still a villainous and explosive black man.
• Sinister Shades: He's never seen without his sunglasses, not even when disguised.
• Sunglasses at Night: When he arrives at Whiskey Peak, it's night and he's wearing his sunglasses.
• Underestimating Badassery: He genuinely believes he and Miss Valentine can defeat Zoro with ease, even after learning that he defeated all of Whisky Peak. Zoro and Luffy defeat them without even acknowledging their existence.
• Unskilled, but Strong: Mr. 5 is an example of a fighter with a very strong Devil Fruit (which allows him to turn any of his body parts into bombs) but has very little creativity with how he uses it. Mr. 3 considers him 'some idiot with a Devil Fruit.'
• Walking Shirtless Scene: Mr. 5 doesn't wear anything on the upper side of his body at the beginning of Miss Goldenweek's mini-adventure.

Devil Fruit: Kilo-Kilo Fruit

The lowest ranked female officer agent and Mr. 5's partner. She has eaten the Kilo-Kilo Fruit (Kilo Kilo no Mi), which allows her to change her weight from 1 to 10,000 kilos.

Along with her partner, she appears in Whiskey Peak and Little Garden, posing as a small threat to the Straw Hats. After the events of Alabasta, she and Mr. 5 help Miss Goldenweek free some of her fellow Baroque Works members and then she begins work as a chocolatier.

Her bounty is 7,500,000 Berries.

---

• Arc Villainess: She's the main "threat" of the Whiskey Peak Arc, along with her partner Mr. 5.
• Bond Villain Stupidity: Instead of instantly crushing Usopp with a weight of 10,000 kilos, Miss Valentine sits on him and tortures him by slowly raising her weight, giving Usopp the time to prepare a trap and defeat her.
• Butt-Monkey: During the Whiskey Peak Arc, despite a badass introduction, she's turned into a joke by Luffy and Zoro.
• Combat Stilettos: Wears a pair of shoes with small heels.
• Damsel in Distress: During Miss Goldenweek's miniadventure, she's captured by Hina and held hostage to lure Mr. 5 and Miss Goldenweek. Later Mr.2 saves her.
• Dark Action Girl: She's one of Baroque Works's strongest agents and enjoys torturing her enemies.
• Death from Above: Her main method of attacking is floating by becoming very light and then changing her weight in ten tons when she's right above her enemies, crushing them.
• The Dreaded: Due to being an officer agent. Igaram and Vivi are terrified to hear that Miss Valentine and Mr. 5 have arrived at Whiskey Peak. Only for lower-ranking agents, though.
• Ground-Shattering Landing: Miss Valentine's main gimmick is to become very light (1 kilo), float thanks to her parasol, and then changes her weight in ten tons and crush her enemies flat, while also causing a lot of damage.
• Heavier than It Looks: Miss Valentine ate the Kilo-Kilo Fruit, allowing her to change her weight however she pleases. She can weigh anywhere between 1 kg to 10 tons without changing her figure at all. So she can play this trope straight and invert it.
• The Hyena: Miss Valentine laughs quite frequently, and is a borderline Perpetual Smiler as a result.
• In a Single Bound: By becoming very light, she can jump to great heights.
• Ignored Enemy: When Luffy and Zoro are busy fighting each other, Miss Valentine and Mr. 5 aren't even considered. After some complaining, Zoro and Luffy tell the two to not interfere and punch them away.
• Off with His Head!: Miss Valentine can land on her opponent's neck, while weighting ten tons, with her leg extended, effectively beheading them.
• Overshadowed by Awesome: She's one of the strongest members of Baroque Works, but far weaker than higher ranked agents and Luffy and Zoro.
• Parasol Parachute: Justified by her Devil Fruit ability, which can make her light enough to float with just the use of the parasol, and to control the direction by spinning it.
• Paper-Thin Disguise: Her disguise mostly consists of a different outfit, but hardly anything that hides her physical appearance. Hina easily sees through her disguise and catches her.
• Personality Power: Her ability to change her weight fits with her dream of becoming a chocolatier, since chocolates are known for making people gain weight.
• Signature Laugh: "Kyahahaha!"
• Significant Birth Date: Her birth day is February 14th, the same day of her codename holiday.
• Smug Smiler: She normally sports an overconfident smirk which fits her overconfidence in her own abilities.
• Steven Ulysses Perhero: Even if Miss Valentine is just her codename, her real name is Mikita, it fits with her dream of becoming a chocolatier (which later becomes true). Chocolates are a common Valentine gift, especially in Japan.

Miss Father's Day

Both use a gun as weapons and appear at the end of the Alabasta Arc, where they are responsible for protecting the bomb that would destroy the entire city, but are stopped and defeated by Vivi.

---

• Animal Motifs: Miss Father's Day has the frog. Her clothes revolves around frogs, her gun is frog-shaped and her Evil Laugh is based on a frog's croak.
• Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance: Mr. 7 is the seventh agent, and the number 7 appears all over his character design, right down to the shape of his own eyebrows. An SBS reveals it's invoked by Mr. 7 himself, saying that, if he were to be promoted to Mr. 6, he would've changed his appearance to a 6-themed one.
• Badass Normal: They're among the highest-ranked Baroque Works agents even though they haven't eaten any Devil Fruit.
• Evil Laugh: Both laugh when they think about the destruction the bomb is about to cause.
• Eyes Always Shut: Mr. 7 never opens his eyes.
• Flat Character: They're just final obstacles to get to the bomb Crocodile set up and don't get much characterization before Vivi takes them out with ease.
• Hope Spot: For them. When Vivi reaches their position in the tower, she sends her Peacock Slasher at them. They manage to initially dodge it and set to shoot Vivi. Only for the attack to rebound and nail them anyway, knocking them off the tower.
• Goggles Do Nothing: Seriously, Mr. 7, what's the purpose of wearing the glasses on your forehead?
• The Gunslinger: The theme of the pair is that of the gunslinger and both have a gun as a main weapon. Mr. 7's gun shoots dice-shaped bullets, Miss Father's Day's shoots frog-shaped bullets.
• Legacy Character: Before the beginning of the story, there was another "Mr. 7" who was killed by Zoro in the past, when the latter refused to join Baroque Works.
• Lethally Stupid: They think that they'll receive a promotion for firing the bomb into the city, not realizing they'd be the first to be caught in the blast.
• Signature Laugh: Mr. 7's laugh is "Ohahahaha", Miss Father's Day is, fittingly, "Geerogerogerogero".
• Significant Wardrobe Shift: In an SBS, Oda drew Mr. 7 if he were promoted to Mr. 6. He would've worn six-shaped googles and his eyebrows and even the nose would've changed to resemble a six.
• Smug Snake: Both seem very confident of their abilities, but Vivi (who, when infiltrated in Baroque Works, was ranked lower) defeats them.

Mr. 8

• Nice Girl: Aside from being an Agent of Baroque Works, she shows nothing but hospitality and considered Vivi and Igaram friends.
• Platonic Life-Partners: Miss Monday has a strong bond with Mr. 8, given she pulled off a Heroic Sacrifice to buy him some time despite knowing he's a spy from Alabasta.
• Power Fist: Puts a metal sheath on her knuckles to make her punches stronger.
• Vocal Dissonance: You wouldn't expect her voice to come from a large, muscular woman. It helps her disguise as a nun. Averted in the 4Kids dub where she has a male voice actor.

---

• 13 Is Unlucky: Naturally they're named "The Unluckies", and their combined names form the date "Friday the 13th". They also usually mean bad news for the other agents, since they punish whoever fails a mission.

• Food as Bribe: By offering a bowl of donuri, the Marines managed to convince them to draw portraits of the other Baroque Works agents.
