[[folder:"Tin-Plate" Wapol]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Wapol_TV_Tropes.png
-->"There's no cure for stupidity? Are you trying to imply that I'm an idiot?!"

->Voiced by: Creator/BinShimada (JP), Matt Hoverman (EN, 4Kids), Andy Mullins (EN, Funi)

Former king of Drum Island who ascended to his position after his father's death. Unlike his benevolent father, Wapol was a [[RoyalBrat self absorbed jerk]] of a king, abusing the citizens of the island for his own profit.

His Devil Fruit, the Munch-Munch Fruit (''Baku Baku no Mi''), allows him to [[ExtremeOmnivore eat anything]] he desires without ill effect. He is able to alter himself or create new objects from the materials consumed, such as making a cannon in his mouth or creating children's toys.

Two years later, he's again king of the [[IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace Evil Black Drum Kingdom.]]
-----

* AccentAdaptation: He has a Russian accent in the [[FourKidsEntertainment 4kids dub]] dub provided by Matt Hoverman.
* AdiposeRex: He's a King, and his powers revolve entirely around eating anything and everything in sight, so his girth makes him a shoe-in for this.
** [[spoiler: Subverted when he uses his powers to give himself liposuction... somehow]]
* AnimalMotifs: The hippo; not only does he wear the skin of a "White Walky", a furry hippo-like creature that inhabits Drum Island, but his submarine and Tin Tyrant Cannon are shaped like hippos as well. During his rise to wealth as a toymaker, almost all the "stages" of his toyshop (stand to store to factory) also have the hippo motif in them. And to top it all off, he tends to use the word "kaba" (Japanese for hippo) in place of {{Baka}}.
* ArchEnemy: To Chopper. Luffy treats him as more of a nuisance than anything else.
* ArcVillain: While he was one of Luffy's weakest enemies, especially after Arlong who put up a fight, he is an ArchEnemy to all of Drum Kingdom, especially Chopper for laughing at Hiluluk's death, unfortunately he never has a chance to pay him back. At least not yet anyway.
** [[spoiler: He does give him a beat down in the 9th movie]]
* AristocratsAreEvil: Abuses and extorts the people and attempts to execute a doctor trying to help the kingdom.
* ArmCannon: Can turn his arms into cannons. He can make one from his tongue too!
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: It's explicitly stated the only reason the people of Drum Island couldn't revolt against his terrible policies was because of his powers.
* BecomeYourWeapon: He can merge himself with a weapon after eating said weapon. This can result in him having cannons in lieu of hands and tongue. He also tries to go over the top by devouring the whole armory of his castle, but thankfully Nami stole the key from him in time.
* CannibalismSuperpower: He doesn't get abilities from people, just from inanimate objects like firearms.
** [[spoiler:Except in the AlternateContinuity 9th movie, when he devours his brother Mushul to become a {{Fusion|Dance}} with both their powers]].
* CharacterDevelopment: Starts out as a selfish prince, now he's the owner of a big toy corporation with a Ms. Universe. [[spoiler:He reappeared after the TimeSkip as a tyrannical king, so no, [[SubvertedTrope he didn't learn much]].]]
* CurbStompBattle: What he proved to be for Luffy, getting beaten in a single episode. It would be Luffy's easiest boss battle for quite some time.
* CutLexLuthorACheck: After his exile, he goes through a stint of homelessness before using his powers to make toys and makes far more money than he did as a king.
* EvilIsPetty: As shown best in a flashback--as revenge for being chewed out for his callousness by her father, Wapol "accidentally" slapped Vivi at a conference (who was ''5 years old at the most''). Bad enough on its own, worse in that it could have resulted in war between their countries.
* EvilLaugh: Maaahahahaha.
* ExtremeOmnivore: Food, wood, steel, garbage, himself, it's all the same to him.
* FatBastard: Not as much as Nelson or Gecko Moria, but still.
* FatIdiot: He's also not too bright.
* FusionDance: He can do so to his top minions, [[spoiler:and with his own brother in the 9th movie.]] Subverted when Sanji points out Chessmarimo is just one of his minions standing on the other; only their clothes were fused.
* {{Gonk}}: Normally, but he can subvert it at will if the moment needs it.
* JerkAss: Exceptionally petty, even compared to other villains.
* KarmaHoudini: Though he is essentially exiled from his island, his toy company brought him more riches, adoration, and fame than his time as king. [[spoiler:He even got to become king of his own evil kingdom.]]
* LeanAndMean: [[ItRunsOnNonsensoleum He eats himself]] to fit through a doorway, and the result ends as a skinny and much better looking him. In both English dubs, he describes this form using the trope name verbatim.
* MoralityPet: In his cover-story, he befriends a little dog that he turns into a robot with his powers. [[spoiler:It's still with him even after he becomes a CorruptCorporateExecutive, suggesting that he might have just learned something after all]].
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: He shows up right at the beginning of the arc to ambush the Straw Hats, resulting in a ''very'' short battle that ends with Luffy sending him flying. While he's still not much of a threat when he comes back, he at least takes more than half an episode to get rid of this time.
* StartMyOwn: Basically what he ends up doing. He gets forcibly removed from his World Government-recognized Drum Kingdom, so he creates the World Government-recognized ''[[ColorCodedForYourConvenience Black]]'' Drum Kingdom.
* UglyGuyHotWife: He married Ms. Universe after his toy company popularity skyrocketed.
* VillainousGlutton: Given his Devil Fruit, he is of course this.
* WeCanRuleTogether: When Luffy has him trapped in his own castle's chimney and is about to send him blasting off, he panickedly started offering Luffy money, jewels, and even the title of vice-king. Naturally, it doesn't work.
* WouldHurtAChild: During one of the Reverie meetings, he slapped a then-5-year old Vivi just to get her father angry.

[[folder:"Mr. 3" Galdino]]

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Galdino_Mr__3_Doru_7127.jpg

->Voiced by: Creator/NobuyukiHiyama (JP), Tom Souhrada (EN, 4kids), Duncan Brannan (EN, Funi)

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 ate the Wax-Wax Fruit (''Doru Doru no Mi'') which allows him to create and control candle wax at will.

He faced the Straw Hats at Little Garden and got defeated, after which he then travelled to Alabasta to try and tell Mr. 0 about them, but got fed to a giant alligator.

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.
----
* ArcVillain: Of the Little Garden arc. He's not the only villain in said arc, but he's the main threat.
* {{BFS}}: Made one out of wax to pin Brogy's hand in place (only in the manga).
* ButtMonkey: 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.
* DemotedToExtra: 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 getting punished by Crocodile.
* DirtyCoward: He runs at the first sign of real danger, [[CowardlyLion despite his powers]].
* EnemyMine: With Luffy during the breakout.
* EvilGenius: Considered this amongst the Baroque Works Officer Agents.
* FlamingHair: Only when he wills it, thanks to his Devil Fruit power.
%%* FourEyesZeroSoul
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Turns out wax is really useful. It can become as hard as steel and can [[spoiler:block poison]].
* HeelFaceTurn: Well, at least not being as much of a prick as he was before.
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:Neutralizes and takes the place of one of the back-up executioners after Crocodile knocks out the originals. He also protects a seastone shackled Ace from being injured by Luffy's Gomu Gomu no fusen which was absorbing the force of Sengoku's giant punch, with his Candle Wall. He then made a replacement key for Ace's shackles after Kizaru broke the original. He did all this in honor of his former comrade Mr. 2, someone he had shown [[HeroicSacrifice almost nothing]] but disdain for up till that point.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: On Little Garden, Luffy uses the fire on his hair to light ablaze the wax sculpture encasing his friends.
* ImprobableHairStyle: It's in the shape of a "3". When using his powers it's on fire.
* InsufferableGenius: Yeah, he's smart. But he's also a total prick. Jailtime helps fix that.
* MadArtist: 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.
* MundaneUtility: One of the primary uses of his powers in later arcs is making keys out of his wax, which is ''damn'' useful considering how many people get locked up in Seastone handcuffs.
* PoweredArmor: His ''Candle Champion'', it even looks (and in the anime, sounds) like a [[HumongousMecha giant robot]].
* ShapingYourAttacks: Pretty much what he does with his wax powers, from shackles to swords to [[ItMakesSenseInContext giant cakes with jack-o'-lanterns on top]].
* SmallNameBigEgo: He thinks he can even take Mr 2's place in the Baroque Works. Crocodile reminded 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.
%%* SmugSnake
* SpotOfTea: Enjoys drinking tea.
* SquishyWizard: When Luffy finds him, he knocks him out in one punch.
* SupportPartyMember: His wax powers alone are not exactly useless, but they are far more useful when combined with other people.
* VillainTeamUp: With Buggy. It looks like he's even going to remain a permanent member of his crew post-Marineford.
* WaxMuseumMorgue: His ''Giant Candle Service Set'' does this to its victims.
* WeakButSkilled: As stated by Crocodile, Mr. 3 is weaker than Mr. 4. However, he has a higher rank because of his mind, and his plot came very close to killing most of the Straw Hats and the giants on Little Garden.
* WeaksauceWeakness: His wax, that can become as hard as steel? Useless against fire. To the point where he can't do anything in areas with above-average temperatures.

[[folder:"Mr. 1" Daz Bonez]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/SupaSupnoMi_6111.png

->"Next... Will you try cutting diamond...?"
->Voiced by: Creator/TetsuInada (JP), Scottie Ray (EN 4Kids), Brett Weaver (EN, Funi)

The highest ranking Baroque Works officer (excluding Mr. 0). He is cold and collected and is a former bounty hunter and assassin. He engaged in "Operation Utopia" and fought against Zoro, where he was defeated. He ate the Dice-Dice Fruit (''Supa Supa no Mi'') which allows him to turn any part of his body into a steel blade.

He was then sent to Impel Down, where he joined up with Crocodile to assist in a breakout and went to Marineford and finally left with Crocodile.
----
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: He can casually slice ''buildings'' to pieces with a swing of his arms. Not to mention he claims he can cut things on the '''atomic level'''.
%%* AmbiguouslyBrown
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Due to his powers, he thinks no swordsman can beat him.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: "Daz Bonez" is a pretty badass name indeed.
* {{Badass}}: Whoo boy.
%%* BaldOfAwesome
%%* BaldOfEvil
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: And forearms, and fingers, and shins, and feet.
* TheDragon: To Crocodile, after Miss All-Sunday's HeelFaceTurn.
* CurbStompBattle: Lasts one panel against Mihawk at Marineford.
* EvilCounterpart: To Zoro, they both are deadly warriors that are defined by their serious and grim nature, were former bounty hunters that currently possess UndyingLoyalty towards a slightly more powerful individual with dreams of becoming the Pirate King and use blades to kill people, they also have confirmed kills and aren't good for much other than murder. 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.
* ExtraOreDinary: The Dice-Dice Fruit creates steel blades.
* HiddenDepths: His innermost desire was/is to become a Superhero.
* InsistentTerminology: Despite his powers, he does not identify himself as a Swordsman.
* LeanAndMean: He's quite tall and has very long limbs. He's actually very muscular, though.
* MadeOfIron: Literally (or rather steel), due to a side effect of the Devil Fruit.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Daz ''Bones''
%%* PsychoForHire
* RazorWind: Seems to be the case, considering he doesn't have to touch the the thing he wants to cut. Though you can't see said wind.
* ScarsAreForever: [[spoiler:Got one on his eye.]]
%%* ScaryBlackMan
* StealthPun: 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 [[Comicbook/{{Superman}} Man of Steel]]. A "Supaman", if you will...
* TheStoic: He never jokes around, and remains serious and calm under any and all circumstances.
* ThisIsADrill: His ''Spiral Hollow'' is essentially this, by making round blades on his forearms and spinning them rapidly.
* ThemeNaming: He (along with his parter, Miss Doublefinger) has a "sharpness" theme, particularly his attacks are a pun on "sparking", and ironically "super-" (''supa'').
* TattooedCrook: Has the kanji for "1" tattooed on his chest.
* UndyingLoyalty: Towards Crocodile. He got pissed when Zoro talked badly about him, [[spoiler: 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 this was protecting Luffy from Hawkeye. And now he went to the New World with him.]]
* UnfortunateName: "Jazz Boner" in the German subs 'n' dubs.
* WouldHurtAChild: When a little boy finds out that Mr. 2 disguised himself as Cobra, Bones decides to beat the boy to the point where he can't even talk.
* TheWorfEffect: Against Zoro. After controlling the fight for its majority, when Zoro discovers how to hear the "breath" of all things, Bones gets taken out in a single hit. [[spoiler:When he goes up against Mihawk, who already knows how to cut steel, he's taken down almost immediately]].

[[folder:Bellamy "The Hyena"]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/op_bellamy_timeskip.png
-->"The Lost city of Gold!? The Emerald city!? The great Treasure of "One Piece"!? The fools who go looking for their "dream treasure" cannot notice what's in front of them! In this era of the sea, the ones that do not have real strength... are the ones that are killed by their own imaginations!"

->Voiced by: Creator/WataruTakagi (JP), Creator/AndrewRannells (EN, 4Kids), Creator/JustinCook (EN, Funi)

A local pirate who's part of Doflamingo's Pirates, nominally filling in as the crew captain, given that Doflamingo seemed rather uninterested in leading his crew. Looking for information on Skypiea, Luffy runs into Bellamy while in Jaya. Extremly arrogant, he believes that there will come an era where pirates give up on having, as well as pursuing their dreams, going after material treasure instead of traveling the sea for the adventure of it. Bellamy mocks anyone who states otherwise and is very quick to start a fight. However, it's this mindset that ultimately proves to be his downfall. He ate the Spring-Spring/Boing-Boing Fruit (''Bane Bane no Mi'') which allows him to transform his legs into springs, making him a BouncingBattler with [[InASingleBound incredible jumping power]].

Chapter 704 reveals him to be, against all fan expectations, alive and well, and still under the employment of Doflamingo.

His bounty is 55,000,000 Berries. Post-timeskip, it has risen to 195,000,000 Berries.
-----
* AlasPoorVillain: Post-Timeskip [[spoiler: Bellamy is basically rejected by his Idol, who sends someone to kill him, and when Bellamy survives Doflamingo personally curbstomps him so hard that several chapters later he is STILL face-down on the ground, and looks utterly miserable. And then Doflamingo controlls him to fight Luffy.]]
* ArbitrarySkepticism: He's on the Grand Line, which frequently screws with physics and natural law so often that it's to be expected, yet doesn't believe in the possibility of ''an island in the sky''.
** [[spoiler:Not anymore; post-timeskip, he's actually ''been'' to said island in the sky, which changed his world-view considerably.]]
* ArcVillain: A relatively minor one, but still.
* BouncingBattler: His main style.
* BrokenPedestal: After overhearing [[spoiler: Diamante confirm that he was ordered to be killed. Bellamy starts breaking down that Doflamingo, the man he revered so much, thinks nothing of him.]]
* BrokenTears: [[spoiler:When he realizes that Dellinger was not kidding when he said that Doflamingo wants him dead, and later when he receives a physical and verbal beatdown from the man himself]].
* TheBusCameBack: A whopping ''401'' chapters later, surprising the entire audience.
* CardCarryingVillain: "You're mad that I stole gold from that old timer? I'm a ''pirate''!"
* CombatPragmatist: [[spoiler: Post-timeskip, he has no interest in fighting clean and has shown a knack for viciously maiming people, something best displayed in his fight with Abdullah and Jeet.]]
* CoolShades: He wears one after the TimeSkip, but only briefly.
* CurbStompBattle: By and far one of the most iconic moments of the series, when Luffy flat out lays him out with one hit. You can argue this would make him an AnticlimaxBoss. But really, for someone of his character, it was really all he needed.
** [[spoiler: And Luffy delivers one to him ''again'' during the final battle of Dressrosa, and in the exact same fashion, to boot (only this time Luffy used Haki because Bellamy used it too). Bellamy ''did'' get some hits in this time, but only because Luffy was reluctant to attack him; [[OneHitKill once he leaves him with no choice, however]]...]]
* DarkSkinnedBlond: His basic appearance.
* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:His thoughts to himself during his and Luffy's final battle reveal that he ''does'' recognize that following Doflamingo was the wrong choice; rather, he keeps attacking Luffy because he ''wants'' him to just kill him already, which he feels will bring him resolution. Needless to say, Luffy became ''extremely'' enraged at Doflamingo for driving him to this point.]]
* DontYouDarePityMe: [[spoiler:Yelled practically verbatim to Luffy when, freed from Doflamingo's control, he pushes himself to perform Spring Hopper, even when it's clear he could die if his body's pushed too far.]]
* FacePalmOfDoom: [[spoiler: First thing he's shown doing post-timeskip.]]
* GlassCannon: Capable of hitting like a truck, but he sure can't take much punishment.
** [[spoiler: LightningBruiser: After the timeskip.]]
* HarsherInHindSight: While raiding Cricket's home for his gold, Bellamy and his crew wrecked Going Merry as well, for good measure. [[spoiler:As it turns out in Water 7, it was this particular injury that sealed her fate and made it impossible to ever fix her]].
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler: Set up for a HeelFaceTurn throughout the Dressrosa Arc, but then [[DefiedTrope Defied]] during the final battle. After Doflamingo beats him to near death, mocks him, and [[PeoplePuppets forces him to fight Luffy against his will]], Luffy naturally tries to save him. But as soon as he's free from Mingo's control, he actually decides to fight Luffy on his ''own'' will, refusing to turn on his once beloved idol. Luffy reasons that Doflamingo is not worth fighting over, but Bellamy attacks him anyway. This marks one of the first times Luffy's MagneticHero tendencies didn't work.]]
** [[spoiler:It's also played with in the sense that Bellamy is still grateful to Luffy for still calling him a friend in spite of everything and for agreeing to fight him in the end. If it weren't for his principles and his pride not allowing him to turn against a man who was never deserving of his loyalty, there is no doubt he would have accepted Luffy's help. ]]
* HonorBeforeReason: [[spoiler:His reason that he's still fighting on behalf of Doflamingo despite being exposed to his atrocity multiple times is that he's so indebted to Doffy that he will not go against him.]]
* TheHyena: Duh.
* ILetYouWin: His first encounter with Luffy was this simply because Luffy had promised Nami not to fight (Especially over something so meaningless as a matter of opinion on dreams). However, when Bellamy attacked Cricket and his crew, he made a [[BerserkButton very big]] [[ItsPersonal mistake there]].
* {{Irony}}: He was introducted trying to pick a fight with Luffy, to which the latter ignored, until [[BerserkButton he involved a new friend he just met]]. [[spoiler:Having reappeared again in the Dresserosa Arc, his tune has changed, and near the arc's climax, he is forced to fight Luffy against his will, even tearfully apologizing when he successfully lands an attack at him]].
* {{Jerkass}}: Easily one of the more notable ones in the series, with his EstablishingCharacterMoment being stabbing Roshio the Executioner in the hand with a knife, then tossing him out the window, before killing him... ''[[DisproportionateRetribution Over a game of poker to which he states he cheated]]''. To make it worse, he wasn't even cheating in the first place.
** [[spoiler:Has mellowed out considerably after the timeskip, to the point where he actually tells Luffy he won't laugh at him anymore. He also says he doesn't hold a grudge against Luffy. And actually appears to be ''sad'' after Doflamingo assigns him the task of assassinating Luffy. Not scared because of Luffy still being stronger, but sad at the idea of killing somebody he's come to respect.]]
* KiManipulation: Capable of Armament Haki post-timeskip.
* LaserGuidedKarma: He gets beat down twice, by Luffy and then Doflamingo, and had it coming both times.
* ManiacTongue: He probably picked it up from Doflamingo.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: [[spoiler: Despite seeing his idol's true colors he refuses to turn against someone he has respected for so long]]
* MuggingTheMonster: Technically, it was the ''friend'' of the "monster" he mugged, but the end result was the same.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Bellamy is a pretty brutal, violent thug of a guy. [[spoiler: He then gets on the recieving end of one, twice. And then, post timeskip, it seems Bellamy has become even more brutal because he uses his spring abilities to break Abdullah and Jeet's spines.]]
* OvershadowedByAwesome: [[spoiler:Post-TimeSkip, his bounty tripled, he grew twice his original height, he's been to Skypeia and even brought back gold to Doflamingo, and seems to have knowledge of Haki. He was pegged to win at least Block B, and did amazingly well...until he ran into King Elizabello II, whose "King Punch" is believed to be strong enough to take down an Emperor, and is promptly defeated. He gets beaten to near-death by Dellinger, and later by Doflamingo himself, and finally by Luffy with a single punch, though the punishment by the previous two seemed to contributed to this]].
* PaperTiger: Bullies other pirates on the island of Jaya and has spring-based powers with enough concussive force to destroy buildings. Protagonist Monkey D. Luffy and his first mate Roronoa Zoro let themselves get beat up by him under the idea that he has not wronged them. Once he does, however, Luffy challenges him, and he [[spoiler:gets stopped cold with a single punch]].
* PutOnABus: This is what ''really'' happened to him, instead of being killed by Doflamingo like everyone in the fandom assumed ''years'' ago.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Bellamy pulls on off while fighting Luffy. [[CurbStompBattle Fat lot of good that did for him.]] And here's the Japanese version of it:
-->'''Bellamy''': Those guys are your FRIENDS!? [laughs] Oh I see. That old man and his monkeys are the same species as you! A pack of idiots who believe the lies of some 400-year-old ancestor! What City of Gold? What Sky Island? '''THE ERA OF DREAMS IS OVER! YOU'RE A DISGRACE OF A PIRATE!'''
** And here's the Funimation version:
-->'''Bellamy''': So you want the gold back, huh? Because Old Man Cricket's your friend? '''WAKE UP!''' He's nothing but a decrepit fool who spends all his time chasing after a 400 year old lie! But that's probably what you like about him, right? You like to call yourselves pirates, but you know nothing! There's no City of Gold! No island in the sky! Just oceans and ships and the men who sail them!
* RocketPunch: His "Spring Death Knock".
* SmallNameBigEgo: Fifty-five million wasn't worth much, even prior to the TimeSkip. [[spoiler:After the TimeSkip, he got over himself and became much more likable, to the point that he and Luffy actually ''respect'' each other.]]
* SmugSnake: Always gloating about how he's the "Big-time Rookie" with a 55 million belli bounty (Although that was ''nowhere'' near as high as the real big-time rookies; the Eleven Supernovas, with bounties over 100 million, and Luffy reaching that status already by the time he met him), and mocking Luffy about his dreams, before suggesting he doesn't even know how to fight. Boy was he wrong there...
** [[spoiler: After the timeskip, he at least seems to have become less of an arrogant dick.]]
* SpringCoil: His Devil Fruit essentially is this, [[spoiler:[[CurbStompBattle not that it helped against a man who beat a Warlord made of sand and leader of the first major villain organization in the series with just blood.]]]]
* TooDumbToLive: Alright, it's ''possible'' that Luffy and Zoro might've faked their bounties, but surely when one of them runs to back to town and ''[[SayMyName screams]]'' [[SayMyName for your name]], that might be your first clue that those bounties might be real, ask for forgiveness and just hand over the gold that you stole. This, apparently, doesn't occur to Bellamy, [[spoiler:and he gets laid out for it]].
** [[spoiler: When we see him again after the time skip he seems to have wised up ''considerably''. He is even the first person to see through Luffy's PaperThinDisguise.]]
** However, [[spoiler:when Dellinger lets it slip that Doflamingo intended to have him killed regardless of whether he assassinated Luffy or not, he personally heads off to the castle and confronts him about it, even after he received an asskicking from Dellinger himself. This goes as well as you'd expect, what's particularly bad is that Doflamingo is now literally [[PeoplePuppets stringing him along]] to fight for him when Luffy and Law confront him]].
* TookALevelInBadass: Amazingly, he did. For one, his bounty has [[spoiler: more than tripled since his encounter with Luffy. Also telling is that, in a gladiator tournament filled with New World-level combatants, he's one of the favorites to win the whole thing.]]
* TookALevelInKindness: Okay, he's still not a NiceGuy by any stretch of the imagination, but considering he's now showing open displays of respect and seems sad about his orders to kill [[WorthyOpponent Luffy]], he's definitely not the asshole he was before.
** [[spoiler:He's also upset that the idea of being forced to fight him, due to Doflamingo's powers]].
* {{Troll}}: Taunts Luffy about the possiblity that he did something to the Skypeians offscreen. But the cover pages have already showed that Skypeia is doing fine.
* UnexpectedCharacter: Safe to say that practically no one expected to see him again. Come Chapter 704 and guess who's there for the tournament?
* UndyingLoyalty: Deconstructed. [[spoiler:Much like Gin, Bellamy is devoted to a man who is unworthy of his loyalty. ''Unlike'' Gin, his principles and his pride prevent him from turning against the idol he has respected and admired for so long, in spite of how terribly treated he is]].
* WalkingSpoiler: Due to [[spoiler: being confirmed as alive in the second half of the series.]]
* TheWorfEffect: He talks and acts big, but it doesn't stop him from getting his ass kicked by a very angry Luffy.
** [[spoiler: Falls victim to this again post-timeskip, where he's built up as a serious threat only to get KO'd by Elizabello's MegatonPunch and Bartolomeo's [[BarrierWarrior Bari Bari no Mi]].]]
* WorthyOpponent: [[spoiler:His words in chapter 706 implies he has respect for Luffy as he won't laugh at him anymore.]]
* YouHaveFailedMe: Donflamingo didn't take the news of his defeat well.
** [[spoiler:Seems to have been reversed after the timeskip, as Bellamy's still working under him. Though it's explained he stole a gold pillar from Skypiea and brought it back to Doflamingo. So more than likely, he bribed his way back into his favor. He likewise mentions he's trying to join Doflamingo's main crew, so it seems he's still working his way up the ladder.]]
** [[spoiler: Or not, Doflamingo was just stringing him along. Then orders to Diamante to have him killed since he's "an eyesore". Ouch.]]

[[folder:"God" Eneru]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Enel_TV_Tropes.png
-->"God does exist in this world... and that god is me."

->Voiced by: Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa (JP), Creator/WayneGrayson (EN, 4Kids, ''Grand Adventure'' only), Creator/JMichaelTatum (EN, Funi)

An inhabitant of the sky whose CloudCuckooLander tendencies went a little too far. After eating the Rumble-Rumble Fruit (''Goro Goro no Mi''), a Logia type that gives power over electricity, he began to [[AGodAmI believe that he was literally a god]] and usurped control of Skypiea from its rightful ruler. He uses his SinisterSurveillance to smite those who would defy his will, whether they be Skypieans or the Shandian Tribe, whose ancestral homeland he made his own. By the time of the Straw Hats' arrival, he was putting his plan of returning Skypiea to nothing before departing for the promised land, "Endless Vearth", with four other chosen ones into motion.
-----
* AffablyEvil: Chats calmly with Robin about archaeology and the beauty of Shandora; he also thinks he's a god, and he has a fondness for destroying islands. He also challenges some of his servants to guess how many will be left at the end.
* AfroAssKicker: Under his cap is a huge perm, revealed in Oda's notes.
* AGodAmI: Played with in that "God" is actually just the title of Skypiea's ruler, but thanks to his Devil Fruit, he thinks he's an actual god.
* ArcVillain: One of the most powerful antagonists, who introduced [[spoiler:a type of Haki]], but he's never appeared in the series since his defeat in his own arc. Still, he's very impressive, and in fact has the second-best combat performance of any ArcVillain in this series, after Magellan below.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Incredibly arrogant. He once took a nap in the middle of a battle, [[NighInvulnerable confident that his opponent could not possibly hurt him]]. He was correct.
* ArtisticLicensePhysics: While Rubber is indeed an insulator, there is a limit to how much electricity it can take- and several hundred million volts is ''way'' beyond that limit, and the searing heat alone should have left Luffy a charred corpse. In other words, Eneru ''should have won''. The only reason he didn't win is that Luffy's rubber body [[AcceptableBreaksFromReality isn't just a conventional kind of rubber]], but a strange, Devil Fruit super rubber beyond what humans can manufacture, much like Wapol's unique Wapometal.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Can turn into a giant electrical being with the Amal technique. Sadly, it's also a ClippedWingAngel.
* AxeCrazy: Casually murders a lot of people, including his [[BadBoss own men]], because he's playing a "Survival Game" of his own invention.
** Enel is probably the most legitimately insane character in the series; he has a god complex despite knowing that his powers come from a Devil Fruit, he deems other people "mortals", and his ultimate plan is to destroy Skypiea simply because he finds its floating in the sky too unnatural an existence while he heads off to [[spoiler:the moon]] because he believes it's his personal Promised Land.
* {{Badass}}: Eneru pretty much stands as one of the most powerful villains Luffy has ever faced.
* BadassBaritone: One of Morikawa's lower voice roles.
* BadassBookworm: Yes, he's a lunatic with delusions of grandeur, but he is ''not'' stupid as Robin learned the hard way.
* TheBadGuyWins: Sort of. While he didn't actually beat Luffy, he did succeed in his goal of going to Fairy Vearth. He was going to destroy Skypiea but that was mostly [[ForTheEvulz just for lulz]] and didn't have any bearing on the Fairy Vearth goal.
** Well he did plan on taking the golden bell with him too. So there's that.
* BigBad: Of the Skypiea Saga.
%%* {{Biseinen}}
* BlondGuysAreEvil: Based on the Mayan belief of a [[DarkMessiah blonde, fair-skinned savior]].
* BoltOfDivineRetribution: El Thor ([[AlternateCharacterReading the kanji]] for it reading "God's Judgement"), which he uses to smite any and all who defy him.
* BreakTheHaughty: His realization that Luffy was his KryptoniteFactor.
* TheChessmaster: He turned a Shandian uprising, and the Straw Hats' adventures, by having his men pounce on both sides into a "Survival Game", predicting the likely outcome in an hour of his enforced big battle to five people standing. Of course, this is all to find people worthy enough to join (or rather, survive) [[KillEmAll his genocidal campaign]] against Skypiea aboard [[CoolShip the Maxim]] into Fairy Vearth.
* ClippedWingAngel: 200 Million Volt Amal looks impressive, but it only provides Luffy with a bigger target.
* CompressedHair: Has his blond afro tucked under his headband. Could count as a FunnyAfro too.
* CoolStarship: [[spoiler:The Ark Maxim. [[RuleOfCool It's made of gold!]]]]
* CombatClairvoyance: His Mantra ([[spoiler:actually a form of [[KiAttacks Haki]]]]) allows him to read opponents' minds and predict their movements; when he combines it with his Devil Fruit's ability to feel the electromagnetic currents in the air, he's effectively omniscient.
* ConvectionSchmonvection: Averted in one notable instance: He uses the heat created from a continuous surge of lightning to melt and reshape his staff, which is made of pure gold.
* DeathFromAbove: Having his powers be derived from lightning, this is inevitable. His strongest technique, Raigou, can wipe out whole islands in one go.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: Is always seen barefoot.
* EvilLaugh: Yahahahaha.
* FatalFlaw: His arrogance. It prevented him from focusing on any possible threats to him, which is why Wiper was able to catch him off guard and use his Reject Dial on him, and led to his surprise that Luffy could actually hurt him.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Borderline case, since he did have a goal, [[spoiler: going to the moon]], but it has nothing to do with his role as the antagonist. The only reason he come into conflict with the Straw Hat or anyone else really he's just because he's evil for evil sake. [[spoiler: To drive the point further home, he ends up achieving his dream with no negative effect to anyone else.]]
* GeniusBruiser: Is very knowledgeable about the Blue Sea and knows quite a bit about archeology, metallurgy, and [[spoiler:designing and building space ships]].
* GenocideFromTheInside: Destroyed his home and its people after gaining his powers.
* GetBackHereBoss: Non video game example. After learning Luffy is immune to his attacks and can actually hurt him, Eneru quickly knocks him off the Maxim. The rest of their "fight" consists of Luffy trying to get high enough to hit him.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: During Luffy's first fight with him, he managed to graft gold into the shape of a ball around Luffy's arm and kicks him off the Maxim to get him out of the way. Luffy however manages to get back in the air and uses said ball to not only stop Eneru's [[ColonyDrop energized death ball]] that would've destroyed all of Skypiea (as the ball acts a conductor taking in all of the electricity and neutralized by Luffy's rubber body). But then uses it to deliver a monster of punch to Eneru crashing him into the golden bell, both defeating the villain and achieving his goal of ringing it.
** Probably didn't help that Eneru made himself a bigger target.
* InsaneTrollLogic: Since a floating island is ''[[SarcasmMode clearly]]'' the most unnatural thing in this series, it must be vaporized.
* InstantDeathRadius: Thanks to his enhanced Mantra and the nature of his powers, he can attack people '''far''' outside of their range.
* InvincibleVillain: There is ''no one'', [[ElementalRockPaperScissors save for]] [[RubberMan Luffy]] [[spoiler:and really strong Haki users]] that can challenge him. No one. Robin even stated that his Logia power, The Rumble-Rumble Fruit, out of all of them is the one that truly boasts invincibility.
* TheJuggernaut: Until he fought Luffy, no one could even slow Eneru down. Every HopeSpot his opponents had was quickly rendered null and void.
* KarmaHoudini: Despite being one of the most psychotic and unrepentant villains in ''OnePiece'', Eneru gets away with nothing more than a few bruises from Luffy, actually achieving his original goal following his defeat. By comparison, other {{Big Bad}}s usually had all their evil dreams and goals completely crushed, except for LaughablyEvil Buggy the Clown, who only suffers many [[ButtMonkey comedic humiliations]]. At most, he simply wasn't able to take the Golden Bell with him. However, he's now somewhere where he will like never bother anyone on the planet ever again: the Moon.
* LackOfEmpathy: Eneru cares only about himself; everyone else is no different from a common rock as far as he's concerned.
* LeanAndMean: He's quite tall, and while his body is muscular, it's also overall fairly thin compared to some other males.
* LightIsNotGood: The color of Eneru's lightning (yellow in the manga, bluish-white in the anime) are normally good guy colors. He also wears a lot of white and considers himself to be God.
* LightningBruiser: Pun intended. He's as fast as lightning, can create and launch massive thunderbolts, and is one of the strongest opponents Luffy ever faced. Physically strong as well, he quite literally stomped Zoro.
* MadeOfIron: Even with [[RubberMan Luffy]] [[ElementalRockPaperScissors cancelling out his electric abilities]], he's still a pretty tough guy to keep down.
* MagicalDefibrillator: He IS one. When [[TouchOfDeath a well-placed chest shot from Wiper's Reject Dial]] stopped his heart, he used his own Logia powers to restart it.
* NighInvulnerable: Being a Logia made of lightning, he's completely invulnerable to strikes not imbued with [[KiAttacks Haki]]; Luffy's rubber body is the '''one''' exception.
* MoralityPet: [[spoiler:Rescues a race of cute robots from space pirates during his cover story, and ends up living on the moon with them]].
* OhCrap: Has an absolutely epic one when he realizes that Luffy [[NoSell is immune to his electrical attacks]]. In the manga, the face he made took an ''entire page'', while the anime was a bit more low key about it.
** He gets another at the end of the same fight when Luffy prepares to finish him off with with a Gomu Gomu no Rifle, and he is too injured from the Gomu Gomu no Octopus Fireworks to dodge.
** Likewise he gets one in his final battle with Luffy who rockets the golden ball straight at him. Eneru knows it's coming but finds it's too fast to dodge or counter against (especially since he ''made himself a bigger target'') before it slams right into his smug face.
** He gets a less stellar, but still very satisfying, one earlier when he realizes that Wyper is about to use the Reject dial on him.
* OmnicidalManiac: He tries to destroy Skypiea because he feels a land in the sky is unnatural. Also infamous for obliterating his own sky island before coming to Skypiea.
* OneManArmy: Not only insanely strong, [[SinisterSurveillance he's able to sense every being in Skypiea]], [[MadeOfAir phases through most attacks]], [[VillainTeleportation has instantaneous movement over several kilometers]], and [[PersonOfMassDestruction can form attacks powerful enough to leave meteor-sized craters as collateral damage]]. And his Mantra allows him to [[CombatClairvoyance predict an enemy's movement and strategies to beat him before they can even see him]]. He's pretty much invincible, save for his [[WeaksauceWeakness single weakness against rubber]] and lack of experience in dealing with people who can actually hurt him.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: He has the power to wipe out islands, [[WhereIWasBornAndRazed and has done so]].
* PsychoElectro: Even for this series, Eneru is downright ''insane''.
* RuleOfSymbolism: Everything about him, pretty much. His earlobes are stretched like Hindu deities, his blond hair is a sign of divinity in ancient South American civilizations, his ring of drums resembles those worn by Japanese thunder deities, and most of his attack names reference thunder deities in general.
* ShapingYourAttacks: Hino (a bird), Kiten (a wolf), and Jambure (a dragon).
* ShockAndAwe: The Rumble-Rumble Fruit is rather good at [[IncrediblyLamePun doing both]].
* SinisterSurveillance: His Devil Fruit-enhanced Mantra enables him to keep tabs on every person on Skypiea.
* SmarterThanYouLook: He outwitted [[TheSmartGuy Robin]]. She didn't see it coming.
* SmugSuper: To extreme levels, at one point, he goes to sleep to prove that he can even beat an opponent in that handicap.
* TheSociopath: Going through his personality traits is like reading a sociopath's diagnostic checklist: Incredibly self-centered and arrogant, has an ''astonishing'' LackOfEmpathy for everything around him, manipulates anyone as he pleases, and is driven by a relentless lust for power and control as well as delusions of grandeur.
* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Completely subverted. He is one of the most powerful villains ever introduced in ''OnePiece'', easily dispatching every single opponent he went up against with no effort whatsoever, and would have a bounty of 500 million Berries if he were a pirate, more than any other known [[spoiler:non-New World]] pirate. The only reason Luffy didn't die instantly was because he's a RubberMan, and thus immune to Eneru's powers.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Eneru vs. Enel vs. Ener. Supposedly, they're all fine, but the first is the official spelling used consistently in the English versions.
* SuperpowerLottery: The Rumble-Rumble Fruit's powers are right alongside the Tremor-Tremor's ([[spoiler:Whitebeard]]'s fruit) in both destructive power and range, and the second fastest fruit we've seen so far after the [[LightEmUp Glint-Glint]] (Admiral Kizaru's fruit). It's even been stated to have a reputation of actual '''invincibility''', as nothing but the [[WeaksauceWeakness Gum-Gum]] [[KryptoniteFactor Fruit]] can survive a face full of ''lightning''.
* ThemeNaming: Almost every attack he has is based on various lightning and thunder deities.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Apples.
* UnusualEars: The earlobes have been stretched down to his chest. Luffy doesn't fail to insult him for this.
* VillainousBreakdown: As he leaves for [[spoiler:the moon]] after losing to Luffy, it's clear that what little sanity he had to begin with is gone, ranting about how Fairy Vearth is for him alone and nobody else can have it. The unhinged voice acting (Episode 193 for the curious) really hammers it in.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Never wears a shirt.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Luffy alone is immune to his electric attacks.
* WhereIWasBornAndRazed: Eneru came to Skypiea after destroying his home island of Birka.
* WouldHitAGirl: Poor Robin! Summed up by this quote:
-->''"There's nothing I hate more in this world than a cold, calculating woman."''
** Zoro angrily tells him that, "She's a woman!", shortly after Eneru strikes her down, and he coldly responds that he's aware of it.
** Before this, he fries Laki, telling Wyper that because she attacked him first (to no avail), it doesn't matter whether she's a woman or a warrior.
* YellowLightningBlueLightning: An interesting case in that it's both: Eneru's lightning powers are colored yellow in the manga and a more realistic bluish-white in the anime.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Did this to his own men. Shoot, he did this to ''the entire island of Skypiea''!

[[folder:Foxy "The Silver Fox"]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Foxxy_tv_tropes_small.png
-->"We, the Foxy Pirates, challenge you, the Straw Hat Pirates, to a Davy Back Fight!"

->Voiced by: Creator/BinShimada (JP), Jonathan Brooks (EN)

Foxy "The Silver Fox" is a notorious pirate for having one of the largest crews in the series, together with one of the largest ships. He has such because of his mastery of the "Davy Back Fight", a sportive event between pirates where the crews wage their own TrueCompanions. Althought not very combat prone, Foxy is a very scheming and cunning man (which is kind of hard to believe of him, at a glance), making use of different kinds of weapons, disguises, and items, together with his Devil Fruit powers of the Slow-Slow Fruit (''Noro Noro no Mi''), which allows him to slow everything his beams touch for 30 seconds.

His bounty is 24,000,000 Berries.
-----
* AccentAdaptation: He has an Italian accent in the Creator/FUNimation dub provided by Jonathan Brooks
* AffablyEvil: Unlike most of his predecessors, he honestly cares for his crew, gets upset easily, and doesn't KickTheDog, at least not ones that are played seriously. The only evil thing about him is that he's a DirtyCoward and that he takes away members from other crews. In fact, he's probably the only AntiVillain major enemy prior to Magellan.
* AnimalMotifs: Take one guess. It's as subtle as a brick to the face.
* ArcVillain: Oda admits he's the only canon FillerVillain so far as his presence has no lasting influence on the story.
* CheshireCatGrin: Always smiling regardless of expression.
* CombatPragmatist: Will gladly use any trickery he can think of to win a fight.
* EvilLaugh: Fehfehfehfeh.
* FillerVillain: Oda has admitted this, as his presence and arc only served as a way to build up to Aokiji's sudden appearance.
* GagNose: Looks like one, but he naturally has a red nose.
* GiantMecha: The Gorilla Puncher #13; the anime version has several more, such as the dodgeball cannon "Bull's Eye-kun".
* GoldFishPoopGang: The anime eventually turned him, Porche, and Hamburger into this.
* {{Gonk}}: He's portly, has a GagNose and a CheshireCatGrin, a far cry from [[{{Bishonen}} Eneru]], but much less insane. [[WeaksauceWeakness Just don't tell him this to his face]].
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Luffy reflects his Slow-Slow Beam at him, then knocks him into the water while he's helpless.
* LoopholeAbuse: As long as it's for his advantage.
* MinorInsultMeltdown: Will drop to his knees in shame if he hears so much as one insult thrown his way. Luckily, equally offhanded praise will get him back up immediately.
** Which is used to effectively paralyze him at one point and prevent him from interfering in one of the Davy Back matches.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: In the previous Davy Back Fights, he got a captain traded for one of his previous victims, which proceeds to overthrow him as soon as he's defeated.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Until the Captain Duel, he was regarded as a great joke. Many a "Holy Shit!" was uttered when he promptly beat the snot out of Luffy due to the pure cheapness of his power. In fact, he landed more hits on Luffy than ''Eneru'' ever did... too bad Luffy is immune to blunt attacks.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: What he gives Luffy, although it's largely because of his TimeStandsStill powers.
* PaperThinDisguise: One of his many techniques is known as the "Foxy Face Transformation", referencing the shapeshifting abilities that mythological ''[[{{Youkai}} kyuubi]]'' are supposed to have. Instead of flawless transformation, it's this trope, which only Luffy would (and did) fall for.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: Even without the Noro Noro Beam, his "Megaton Kyuubi Rush" technique can match Luffy's "Gomu Gomu Gatling" blow-for-blow.
* SoreLoser: Considering his record, it's unsurprising he doesn't take loss well. In the filler of the Davy Back Arc after the Straw Hats initially win the first round of matches, he demands a re-match just to soothe his damaged ego and noticeably cites "Combat" as the final game and no re-matches will be made in the second round since at the time his crew had wound the first two games. When Luffy manages to beat him however, he tries to extend a handshake of good sportsmanship then do a overhead throw as revenge. Only for that to fail since, thanks to Luffy's rubber body extending his arm, Foxy falls flats on his face.
* TimeStandsStill: His Noro Noro Beams allow him to slow anything they touch for thirty seconds. Besides the obvious use in enemies, he adds very different (and deadly) uses to them.
* TryingToCatchMeFightingDirty: Him and the words "fair fight" go together like water and oil.
* UngratefulBastard: While he does have a pride as a captain, he does fight dirty as well as turn on the Straw-hats as soon as they get his ship back from a treacherous member (also a captain).
* WeakButSkilled: Probably the most evident example in the series.
* ZergRush: Does this to Luffy in the final fight of the Davy Back.

[[folder:Rob Lucci]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Lucci_and_Hattori_at_Enies_Lobby_8093.png
-->"They were criminals, so I killed them in name of justice... As soldiers, weakness is a sin. They surrendered to evil, and caused a crisis in the kingdom. That type of soldier doesn't deserve to live. So they're dead."

->Voiced by: Creator/TomokazuSeki (JP), Creator/JasonLiebrecht (EN, Funi)

Rob Lucci is the strongest member of Cipher Pol #9, a top secret group of eight assassins tasked with various undercover operations for the World Government. He is calm and ruthless, even refraining from the EvilLaugh, a staple among One Piece villains. He and his group are masters of ''Rokushiki'' (literally Six Forms), a martial arts fighting style based on six different superhuman techniques, and he and the rest of [=CP9=] gave the Straw Hats some of their toughest and grueling battles yet. He ate the Cat-Cat Fruit (''Neko Neko no Mi''), Model: Leopard.
-----
* {{Animorphism}}: Ate a Zoan-type which allows him to turn into a leopard or huge leopard-man at will.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: To the letter. The realization that a pirate ''can'' defeat him is his OhCrap moment and the only time when he loses composture. He's subtly different from typical examples of this trope in that, instead of being a total loner, he actually considers the rest of [=CP9=] his TrueCompanions and his standard ice-cold demeanor warms up somewhat when there are no outsiders around.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: His skills include a complete mastery of the martial art known as Rokushiki, assassination, ship-building...and ventriloquism.
* AtopAMountainOfCorpses: Gained his reputation for an instance in which he does this. When he was ''thirteen''. Just before being ''[[OutOfTheInferno bombarded with cannonfire]]''.
* {{Badass}}: [[TheStoic More quiet]] and [[AxCrazy unhinged]] than the typical, but he is still this. Slaughtering 500 soldiers at ''age 13''? Check. A ventriloquist for his NonHumanSidekick? Check. Having a [[PowerLevels douriki]] ''twice'' as high as the next strongest member of his squad? Check. Able to ''[[FingerpokeOfDoom shoot a person to death]]'' [[FingerpokeOfDoom with merely his index finger]]? Check. Can FlashStep? Check. Can ''[[DoubleJump quintuple jump?]]'' Check. Can manipulate your RazorWind kick into the shapes of a bird and a spiral? Check. A ManipulativeBastard when he wants to be? Check. Fighting and nearly killing Luffy on ''physical force alone''? '''Check'''.
** It was even stated by Franky that had it not have been for Luffy holding Lucci off, he would have killed all of them. Considering that even includes the insanely powerful Zoro and Sanji (who are not that far away from Luffy) really says something about this guy.
* BadassInANiceSuit: Gained a suit to go along with his NiceHat after TheReveal. When he dons the BadassLongcoat he ''almost'' rivals Crocodile in this department.
* BadassLongcoat: The one he wears while on the train to Enies Lobby. His pigeon gets one too.
* BeardOfEvil: Goatee of Evil!
* BishonenLine: Sort of. He can use [[MasterOfYourDomain Life Return]] to make his large bulky leopaard-man form more proportionate to his thin human form, making him faster and more agile.
* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: The basis of his "Dark Justice" philosophy is that any person or thing that goes against the interests of the World Government not only needs to be destroyed, but is also evil for being that way. Lucci didn't just think the soldiers he killed being taken hostage was [[YouHaveFailedMe inexcusable]] or that killing Robin was [[NecessarilyEvil necessary]]; he honestly thought the soldiers' weakness and Robin's very ''existence'' were both '''unforgivable sins.'''
* BloodKnight: While serving the World Government comes first, Lucci wishes no other reward for his service than the blood of their enemies. He almost never actually smiles unless he's in the middle of battle, and even allows Gonbe and Chimney to trail Spandam's group so that they will lead the Straw Hats right to him.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Thanks to Rokushiki.
* DoubleJump: ''Geppou'', literally ''Moon Step''.
* TheDragon: A classic example. His chief, Spandam, [[BigBad who sets the events of the Enies Lobby arc in the motion]], is weak and cowardly, leaving all of the actual fighting to Lucci and the other [=CP9=] agents.
** DragonInChief: Despite being BigBad of the [=CP9=], Spandam is vastly inferior to Lucci (and the rest of his team), and it is Lucci that is considered the most dangerous.
** TheHeavy: He also holds the position of the motivational threat.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Lucci is perfectly willing to massacre everyone branded an enemy by the World Government, and directly states that he's going to chase Nico Robin to the ends of the world and eliminate her after he beats Luffy, but brutalizing her when she's a defenseless prisoner is too much even for him, orders or not. [[spoiler:Probably why Lucci gets a redemption cover story and Spandam gets a double serving of FateWorseThanDeath]].
** Also, the man ''always'' keeps his word. He was totally sincere about letting the Straw Hats go free if Robin surrendered to him, unlike (again) Spandam.
* FingerPokeOfDoom: ''Shigan'' (literally "Finger Gun") and all its variants.
* FlashStep: ''Soru'', literally "Shave".
* GeniusBruiser: Is quite intelligent and perceptive, on those occasions when he bothered to use his brain.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has an enormous scar in the rough shape of the World Government symbol across his back, which obviously symbolizes his dedication to their brutal practices.
* HypercompetentSidekick: Saying he is ''leagues'' above Spandam in general competence and skill might be an understatement.
* KarmaHoudini: Anyone who still gets to live after all the vile things Lucci did is the epitome of this.
* KickTheDog: Invoked. He tells Paulie that if TheReveal that his coworkers are WG assassins is too hard to believe, he'll step on Iceburg's face to convince him.
* KnightTemplar: Believes in "Dark Justice", which holds that ANYONE who fails to fulfill their duty deserves to die. When he was only 13, he killed 500 soldiers captured by pirates for being too weak. Let's just say that by the end of the arc, he's forced to rethink his position.
** [[spoiler:He seems to mellow down somewhat in the [=CP9=] side story, after the government allows Spandam to frame them for failure. He still remains ruthless and brutal enough to terrify the citizens that [=CP9=] save from marauding pirates. But take note that if he still fully believed in Dark Justice, he should have turned himself and the rest of [=CP9=] in. Well, [[NiceJobFixingItVillain Nice Job Fixing It, Spandam]]]].
* LeanAndMean: Unless he's in his hybrid form, and even then, he can invoke this trope with Life Return.
* LightningBruiser: Invokes this trope, being very tall, massive, and tough in his leopard-man form, yet remaining one of the fastest characters in the series. In a subversion, he must change into a smaller and slimmer variation of this form for maximum speed. Even without his Devil Fruit powers, though, he more than fits the trope thanks to his mastery of Rokushiki.
* ALoadOfBull: Wears the bull costume in the Galley-la mansion raid.
* MadeOfIron: ''Tekkai'', literally "Iron Shell". A technique that involves hardening the muscles so that they are as strong as iron.
* MasterOfAll: Master of all Six Forms techniques, while his colleagues tend to specialize in one, albeit not to the exclusion of others.
* TheMole: [=CP9=] was tasked with investigating Water 7's mayor Iceberg while undercover. He even pretended to be a high pitched, friendly ventriloquist.
* MyCountryRightOrWrong: It is clear that Lucci sees what a disgusting slime Spandam is, and there are some hints that he doesn't like the things he is commanded to do, but obedience to the World Government, as embodied by its highest-ranking representative, trumps all for him. [[spoiler:He draws the line when he feels that his TrueCompanions were betrayed by WG.]]
* NiceHat: A top hat.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: Lucci is the only [=CP9=] member without any quirks (aside from Blueno and Nero, who were beaten and killed, respectively, too quickly to establish any).
* NonHumanSidekick: His pet pigeon Hattori.
* OhCrap: Not as over the top as most villains, but [[spoiler:his reaction at seeing Luffy stay up after taking his strongest attack ''for the third time'' during their fight pretty much tells you he's screwed]].
* OneWingedAngel: His [[HalfHumanHybrid leopard-man hybrid form]] basically serves as this, granting a boost to his already phenomenal strength. Although he's very slightly [[MightyGlacier slower]] in this form due to its large size.
* PerpetualFrowner: Before TheReveal, he never changed his scowl, much less even spoke. After coming out as a [=CP9=] operative, he does have a ''slightly'' wider range of expressions, such as (evil) smirking.
* PantheraAwesome: A leopard man.
* PowerLevel: An astonishing '''4000''', the highest in the history of [=CP9=]; and that's just in his human-form.
* PrimalStance: Often has this in his half-leopard form.
* RazorWind: ''Rankyaku'', literally "Tempest Leg", and all of its variants.
* TheReveal: As a government operative.
* SadisticChoice: When he breached the Tower of Justice and allowed it to flood, knowing that the waters would reach the Straw Hats, he gave Luffy the choice of going to save them (and drowning in the attempt) or fighting him, which would give them a slim chance of survival. Luffy rebuffed him saying they'll survive anyway, and if he went for them, Lucci would kill them anyway.
* ShapingYourAttacks: One of his Rankyaku attacks is bird-shaped and named "Victory Bird".
* SlasherSmile: Gives of a fantastic one in preparation for his final fight with Luffy.
* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Subverted. Though being the first to bring [[TheHero Luffy]] to the brink of death through brute force, he's actually lower on the algorithm than the two previous saga [[BigBad Big Bads]] [[PersonOfMassDestruction Crocodile]] and [[PersonOfMassDestruction Eneru]].
* TheStoic: Unless he's fighting.
* TykeBomb: All of the [=CP9=] members are apparently this.
* TheVoiceless: Until TheReveal, that is.
* WhyDontYaJustShootHim: For a ruthless killer, he has a surprisingly poor grasp of the fact that just leaving your targets disabled, trapped, and awaiting excruciating death ''never works''.
** That being said, sparing the crew was part of the deal he struck with Robin.
* WorthyOpponent: While he does look down on Luffy and considers him incapable of beating him, Lucci does concede that he is a ''way'' better leader than Spandam.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Literally kicks Nero off the Sea Train for losing and trying to kill Franky (whom they need alive)
* YouShallNotPass: Complains about Luffy not giving him the chance to say this in regards to passing through a door behind him to save Robin.

[[folder:Spandam]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Spandam_4083.jpg
-->"The most important thing is my life!!! My promotion! If I let them go freely, who will protect me when something happens?"
->Voiced by: Creator/MasayaOnosaka (JP), Creator/ChristopherCoreySmith (EN, Funi), Creator/KentWilliams (EN, Unlimited Adventure)

The chief of [=CP9=] and Enies Lobby, Spandam is Rob Lucci's superior officer, though he's actually weaker than even a normal marine. A clumsy, cowardly, but power-hungry swine, he works only to further his career. When he was a member of [=CP5=], he convinced the leaders of the World Government to let him seek out the blueprints of Pluton. He possesses a broadsword named Funkfreed that "ate" the Elephant-Elephant Fruit (''Zou Zou no Mi''), allowing it to turn into an elephant.
-----
* AmusingInjuries: In his first appearance, he gets blown up by a stray cannonball. And it doesn't stop there.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Inverted. He's the weakest guy on Enies Lobby. He's even weaker than every marine on the base.
* BigBad: Of the [=CP9=] Saga.
* ButtMonkey: He's always getting smashed in the face in Franky's flashback. He has no respect from his men. Kalifa considers his very existence "sexual harassment".
* CoolSword: It's his ONLY advantage. It transforms into an elephant.
* DirtyCoward: Only talks big when he has people to do his dirty work or when he has someone at his mercy; if the latter is the case, he also sees brutally beating them as a perfectly acceptable course of action. Seeing him go out like a bitch is ''immensely'' satisfying.
* EvilLaugh: Wahahahaha.
* FateWorseThanDeath: Having his back broken by Nico Robin, the same woman who escaped his father and suffered heavily at his hands. ''And'' [[spoiler:being hunted down by his co-workers, specifically [[PsychoForHire Rob Lucci,]] for framing them]].
* FauxAffablyEvil: He's presented at first as little more than a thoroughly incompetent and ''incredibly'' obnoxious blowhard who is stricken with comically bad luck and subordinates who have absolutely no respect for him. That all gets thrown out the window when he [[MoralEventHorizon savagely beats a captive Robin]] when she was bound with Seastone chains, rendering her completely incapable of fighting back.
* GeneralFailure: He is surprisingly inept for someone in his position. It is implied he got to it through family connections, since his father, Spandine, was chief of Cipher Pol #9 before him. But...
* GenerationXerox: Spandine was just as much of a SmugSnake GeneralFailure as Spandam is now, the only difference is that Spandine cares about his men, and actually evacuates the non-archaeologist citizens from Ohara (only for Sakazuki/Akainu to [[KillThemAll kill them anyway]]; [[EvenEvilHasStandards something that even Spandine thought was going too far]]). Unfortunately, his son inherited all of his qualities ''but'' the standards.
* HateSink: The Straw Hats hate him for nearly taking Robin away, the Marines of Enies Lobby hate him for trivializing their imminent deaths with his accidental invocation of the Buster Call, and now [[spoiler:[=CP9=] hates him for trying to pin the whole fiasco on their heads]].
* HeKnowsTooMuch[=/=]TheScapegoat: That the Enies Lobby fiasco got as bad as it did is almost entirely his fault, but using his dad's influence he managed to get the blame shifted to his subordinates and [[YouHaveFailedMe have them scheduled for execution]] in hopes that World Government hitmen will get to them before they can rat him out. [[spoiler: He's wrong]].
* {{Gonk}}: Has a dark red nose and black markings around his eyes, making him resemble a panda. Franky even calls him "Spanda".
* HumiliationConga: A very, ''very'' satisfying one. Let's see. He winds up losing the plans to Pluton, his agents are beaten, his base is destroyed by his own incompetence when he accidentally orders the Buster Call on it, he gets hit by a explosive star via a long distance shot by Usopp, Franky crushes him with his elephant sword, he gets slapped silly by Robin when she's freed which leaves him horribly bruised beyond the point of recognition, he can only whine and complain as the Straw Hats (and in effect his main target, Robin) get away with the Marines unable to do anything to stop them and fittingly enough, Robin delivers the final blow to him via her clutch move which leaves him with a broken back. The last we see of him is slowly healing in a full body cast. Oh yeah and [[spoiler: by pinning the blame of the mission failure on [=CP9=], he winds up making enemies of them who vow to hunt him down.]]
* IsThisThingStillOn: Mistakenly blabs that he'd let everyone on the island die in order to further his career while his Den Den Mushi is transmitting, then tries to cover it [[BlatantLies by claiming to be Luffy]]. ''No one'' is fooled.
* ItsAllAboutMe: His quote above clearly indicates this.
* {{Jerkass}}: Loves to KickTheDog, doesn't care who he has to kill off to get his way, only cares about himself... Long story short, he's an asshole.
* LaughablyEvil: Played with. Crazy accidents are always happening to him, his agents don't respect him, but he's one of the nastier characters in the series.
* MaskPower: Wears an iron mask on his face, which doesn't really cover most of his features. He wears it because [[spoiler:his face had been permanently damaged by a young Franky years prior to the series' present]].
* MadeOfIron: He's the weakest member of [=CP9=]. So how the hell does he survive all the punishment fate sends him?
* ManipulativeBastard: Amazingly, despite his moments of incompetence, he still managed to exploit the paranoia of ''the [[OmniscientCouncilOfVagueness Five Elder]] [[AmbiguouslyEvil Stars]]''. As in the chief authority of the World Government. He was then given an assignment on retrieving the blueprints of Pluton, [[spoiler:which Spandam wanted to use to remove the authority of the Five Elder Stars and TakeOverTheWorld]].
* NonActionBigBad: True, he has that Elephant sword, but it's clear it's a last option security measure. In fact, what could be a truly powerful sword is almost completely worthless in his hands when he's forced to use it.
* OhCrap: Does this quite a few times as the situation on Enies Lobby deteriorates. His biggest one occurs when he figures out that not only did the Buster Call completely fail to eliminate the Straw Hats, but that he is now at the mercy of a ''very'' angry Robin, and that she gives absolutely zero fucks about being nice.
** Gets another one during the [=CP9=] cover story, when, after blaming the entire incident on them and getting them declared criminals by the World Government, he gets a call from an understandably upset Rob Lucci stating they're coming for him. And remember, they're a group of elite assassins who, thanks to Blueno, can come out of thin air and are led by a guy who almost killed Luffy through physical force alone.
* PowerLevel: 9, and the [[{{Mook}} average Marine soldier's]] is 10.
* ScarsAreForever: [[spoiler:He got savagely pistol-whipped by Franky back when he went by Cutty Flam years ago when he instigated the execution of Tom. His face was permanently damaged and he had to wear a mask to hide the injuries. Made all the worse when Robin delivers countless multi-armed slaps, Franky punches him in the face with an iron fist, and then drops ''Funkfreed'' on top of him. Spandam's head swells like a blueberry.]]
* SmugSnake: Barks a big game, but Fukurou points out that he is weaker than the average Marine soldier. ''He is even weaker than a {{Mook}}''. To absolutely no one's surprise, he went out like a bitch at the hands of Robin, which he ''completely'' deserved.
* TheStarscream: To [[spoiler:the Five Elder Stars]].
* TakeOverTheWorld: Has stated he wants to do this earlier in his career as head of [=CP5=]. Now as Director of [=CP9=], it's hard to say if he still has those ambitions, but his dreams are still pretty grandiose. He could've been attempting this step by step with Robin's capture. But for now, [[spoiler:he's trying to avoid being killed by a vengeful [=CP9=] for framing them]].
* VillainousBreakdown: His calm, cocky exterior falls apart as the Straw Hats prove to be more than his agents can handle. By the time they escape, he's screaming for their deaths.
* WouldHitAGirl: He assaults Robin while she's bound by ''chains''. And he doesn't just hit her once or twice; he flat-out assaults her. ''Repeatedly''. Also, the way he was drawn in that same episode was darker and more psychotic than his usual ButtMonkey atmosphere, which emphasized on this.

-->"Don't underestimate the full destructive power of a giraffe!!"

->Voiced by: Creator/RyotaroOkiayu (JP), Alex Organ (EN, Funi), Creator/JerryJewell (EN, Unlimited Adventure)

One of the Elite members of the Cipher Pol #9 and second only to Lucci, and is also the youngest. Has a peculiar, "squared body" and a very long nose, similar to Usopp's. He too can use the Rokushiki and is a master of [[RazorWind Rankyaku]], to the point that he's developed the ''Yontoryuu'' (Four-swords style) using [[DualWielding two katanas]] and his legs. He also ate the Cow Cow Fruit (''Ushi Ushi no Mi''), Model: Giraffe and can turn into a Giraffe-man, but despite his ridiculous appearence, he's still powerful and dangerous if not moreso.
-----
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Zoro gets a chuckle out of him by telling him he can always join the zoo if he needs a job.
* {{Animorphism}}: He can turn into a "were-giraffe" with his Devil Fruit powers.
* AffablyEvil: He's really a nice guy, but works for the bad guys. In fact, in fan polls, he consistently ranks as ''the most popular villain in the entire series''.
** So much so, that before TheReveal and a showcase of his abilities, many fans thought he might be the Shipwright for the Straw Hats.
* AllThereInTheManual: It turns out his hobby has always been building ships in bottles, so it's no wonder he was sorry to leave his cover job.
* BareYourMidriff: While transformed his chest grows much larger, resulting in his suit not fitting as well.
* BecomingTheMask: His flashback to his career as a carpenter [[spoiler:after being beaten by Zoro]], showed that at least he of all the [=CP9=] had some regrets.
* BerserkButton: Don't laugh at him too much or mock giraffes.
* BloodKnight: He's one like Lucci; he really enjoyed his fight with Zoro, but he's cheerful.
* CallingYourAttacks: Even if sometimes he actually invents the name for the attack on the spot. See [[CrowningMomentOfFunny ''Pasta Machine''.]]
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Thanks to Rokushiki.
* TheComicallySerious: His complete seriousness about his silly, but still powerful, Devil's Fruit is quite amusing.
* DoubleJump: ''Geppou'', like Lucci's.
* TheDragon: To Lucci's quasi BigBad and/or DragonInChief role to Spandam.
* DualWielding: He uses shirasaya swords along with the RazorWind from his legs, which he says makes him a wielder of "four sword" style.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: When we first see him in Water Seven he's already quite powerful, then he and Kalifa both eat Devil Fruits Spandam gave them during Enies Lobby.
* FingerpokeOfDoom: And he can do that ''with his nose''. No Kidding...
* FlashStep: Not only he can use ''Soru'', but he's also very fast.
* GagNose: And so hard that it can ''pierce stones''!!!
* GeniusBruiser: While he was an undercover assassin, his shipwrighting skills were legitimate. His assessment of the [[spoiler:Going Merry]] was accurate.
* GenreSavvy: He's the only member of [=CP9=] to not attribute Blueno's loss to Luffy to his being out of shape. When Zoro proclaims he'll shatter Kaku's [[MadeOfIron Tekkai]], he blocks the attack with a [[RazorWind Rankyaku]] instead.
* GracefulLoser: Freely offers his key to Zoro after his defeat.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: His seemingly silly, often-mocked and ridiculous-looking giraffe powers prove to be quite effective in battle.
* HowDoIShootWeb: Unlike Kalifa, he has trouble over his new Zoan transformations, turning into a full giraffe during his battle with Zoro on his first try when he was trying to go to hybrid form and discovering new abilities on the fly. However he is remarkably quick to adapt to them i.e: using his enlarged nose for a Shigan attack, turning his body into a cube so he won't have any openings, finding he can shrink his neck which gives him longer limbs so he can battle normally, etc.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Zoro wonders whether, as he is a spy, he might be wrong about [[spoiler:the Going Merry]]. He points out that he isn't, and is proved correct.
* KickTheDog: Dumping the Going Merry into the sea during Aqua Laguna.
** Though considering he does like building ships, it may have been more of a MercyKill, because Usopp just wouldn't face the truth that the Merry was on her last legs. This is implied when he even calls it his last act as a shipwright.
* LeanAndMean: He and the three other members are the only normally proportioned and regular-sized people in [=CP9=].
* LightningBruiser: Was even nicknamed ''Yamakaze'' (Mountain wind) for his great speed.
* MeaningfulName: Kaku means "squared".
* TheMole: In Water 7 with Lucci.
* NiceGuy: Despite being an [[HeroAntagonist antagonist]].
* NiceHat: Always wears a baseball cap of some sort. Except when he's a giraffe.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Subtle, but it's there all right. Had he not released the Going Merry from its holding dock at Water 7, it wouldn't have ended up roaming to Enies Lobby and saving the Straw Hats during the [[NukeEm Buster Call]] like it did.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Everyone finds his giraffe powers hilarious. Even his "[[TeethClenchedTeamwork comrade]]" Jabra can't take him seriously. See below for his response.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: He ''cut the Tower of Justice in half'' in a fit of rage with Razor Wind Amanedachi.
* PowerLevel: The second highest of [=CP9=] at 2200.
* PunnyName: His attacks are mainly puns on the various combinations of "kaku" and ''kirin'' (giraffe). Eg: ''Kama Kirin'' refers to Kamakiri (the mantis) and the giraffe.
* RazorWind: A real master of ''Rankyaku'', they can be a [[DeathOfAThousandCuts small shower of blades]], a drill-like attack, a [[FuumaShuriken shuriken-shaped blast]], and even a circular giant slice.
* TheReveal: As a government operative.
* ReverseGrip: How he holds his katana.
* RunningGag: He's often mistaken for Usopp. And he's constantly mocked as a giraffe.
* SuperToughness: When using ''Tekkai''.
* TykeBomb: All of the [=CP9=] members are apparently this.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: He's often seen with Jyabura.
* VerbalTic: Often ends his sentences with "-ja".
* WhamLine
-->'''Kaku''': I'm going to give it to you straight. Your ship... [[spoiler:... can't be fixed! Not even with our skills.]]
* WorthyOpponent: Considers Zoro to be one.

[[folder: Oars the Devil]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Oars_3154.jpg
--> "I wanna be King of the Pirates!... Why does that sound famillar?"

-> Voiced by: Creator/MayumiTanaka (JP), Creator/ColleenClinkenbeard (EN)

A humongous Giant from a clan known for its evil nature and who rampaged throughout the world 400+ years ago, only to die of the cold in the Northern Continent, his body was found by Gekko Moria and was redesigned by Dr. Hogback to be Special Zombie #900.

When Moria stole Luffy's shadow, and put it inside Oars. Moria felt that he had found the perfect zombie to become Pirate King with, but after a incredible battle with the Straw Hat Pirates, Oars was crippled, and his shadow eventually found its way back to Luffy, re-dying once more. However, before he died centuries ago, he had at least one child, and his name lives on with his grandson Little Oars Jr.
-----
* AGodAmI: It's said that in his past, his followers worshiped him as a God.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Most Giants seen in the series look like super-sized humans, but Oars is more of a titanic demon in looks.
* AssKicksYou: Gomu Gomu no Butt Stomp is his own original invention.
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Quite a bit bigger, though.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: He gets fooled quite easily. Luffy's fault.
* BigEater: After being resurrected, he spends a lot of time eating. Again, Luffy's fault.
* BigRedDevil: Whether or not this was intentional, his appearance is somewhat Satanic, and he was known as "The Devil".
* BlondGuysAreEvil: A shaggy mane of blond hair runs down his back.
* TheDragon: To Moriah.
* DumbMuscle: Having [[IdiotHero Luffy's]] shadow fueling him doesn't help his case, but he was a dumbass even in life, as he went into a cold region and died because all he wore was a ''loincloth''.
%%* FatBastard
* FeelNoPain: As a result of being a zombie. He's sure glad about it, but this comes back to bite him when he fails to realize how serious the injuries he's taking are.
* HornedHumanoid: Not quite so useful when one falls down on them, though.
* ImplacableMan: Bordering on TheJuggernaut.
* KillItWithIce: What did him in originally.
* LightningBruiser: With Luffy's shadow as his power, he's almost just as fast as he is, given his much larger frame.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Hits all of them in some way:
** Ninja: Luffy's shadow allows him to move at speeds physically impossible for his size.
** Pirate: Luffy is a pirate, and he serves the pirate Moriah.
** Zombie: He's a corpse animated by Moriah's powers.
** Robot: Hogback built a cockpit in his stomach so Moriah can fight with him. When he first saw this, he pretended that he was a robot called "Oars Bomber".
* OffstageVillainy: In his past, Oars led an army of his clan that took over islands and kingdoms, but when he is seen in the present, it's as his Zombie self.
* OurGiantsAreBigger: Quite so, as he is the current page image.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: A stitched-up zombie, powered by a shadow, with a cockpit in his stomach.
* PsychopathicManchild: Man-child comes from his personality gained from Luffy; Psychopathic comes from the fact that he does whatever he wants, even beating up people for no reason.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Gatling is one of the few attacks he can imitate.
* RedBaron: "The Continent Puller", as he "dragged whole islands" to his kingdom to form a giant domain all for himself.
* RedOniBlueOni: A red one for Nightmare Luffy's blue.
* RubberMan: Sort of. While he himself has no such abilities, with Gekko Moriah controlling his shadow his limbs can stretch like Luffy's.
* StopHelpingMe: [[InvokedTrope Invokes]] this toward Moria should he do anything more than help him stretch.
* SuperStrength: Well, being a giant so large that other giants are a quarter your size kinda helps with this.
* TooDumbToLive: Possibly; he died from heading into a cold region wearing naught but a loincloth. Then again, Oars. Jr was quite grateful for the hat Ace made that protected him from the elements, so it could be that Oars simply ''couldn't'' wear any protective clothing his size.
* UngratefulBastard: Played for laughs when Moria asks him to be his [[TheDragon Dragon]].

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Absalom_6383.jpg
-> Voiced by: Hiroaki Miura (JP), Andrew Chandler (EN)

One of the main antagonists of Thriller Bark, and a pervert on par with Sanji. Leads the Mooks and EliteMooks in the arc, and kidnaps Nami to be his bride. Trades blows with Sanji because he ate the Clear-Clear Fruit (''Suke Suke no Mi''), allowing him to become an InvisibleMan and turn everything he touches invisible as well.
-----
* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: To an unconscious Nami.
* AltarTheSpeed: Justified, as his previous attempt at marrying Nami resulted in the room being crushed, and his guests killed. However, even with this in the second time, Oars's rampage makes it impossible for him to actually kiss the bride. Touches on TheDeterminator as he does it countless times.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Towards Nami in a wedding dress. Results in him and Sanji both trying to make speeches, and stopping mid-speech to comment 'Oh, I thought she was an angel/goddess/siren' at multiple instances.
* BadassLongcoat: It's quite regal.
* BadBoss: Played with. He lets his [[EliteMooks General Zombies]] come to his wedding, and seems distressed to see them all killed by Oars in one go. He's ready to punish, maim and kick his sub-ordinates when they insult him, but they do call him 'pervert' a lot, so it's reasonable, and they are zombies after all.
* BerserkButton: Don't call him a pervert. Doesn't help he has a DelayedReaction to it sometimes, allowing for multiple instances to build up a rage.
* {{BFG}}: [[spoiler: He has a pair of pulse-activated bazookas strapped to his arms which he turns invisible.]]
* BodyHorror: Allowed [[MadDoctor Hogback]] to cut him open and graft on pieces of animals to help his combat abilities.
* DarkMessiah: Sort of. He seems to be revered by the zombies under his command, but most of them seem to know about his quirks and strangeness. They're still loyal and respectful to him, though. The General Zombies even agree to go to his wedding.
* DudeShesLikeInAComa: Attempts to marry Nami while she is drugged unconscious.
* EvilCounterpart: To Sanji. The two even take a break during the battle to gush over how great Nami looks in a wedding dress. Not to mention they both have the same desires, lusts and practices.
** Except that Absalom is actually worse, since he lacks Sanji's chivalry, and is even ready to harass the lovely young women he encounters. Hell, [[EstablishingCharacterMoment one of the first things we]] "[[{{Invisibility}} see]]" [[EstablishingCharacterMoment him do is just that]], harassing Robin on the Thousand Sunny.
* HandBlast: His Dead Man's Hand attack. [[spoiler: Though it's actually due to a pair of bazookas he strapped to his arms.]]
* HandsomeLech: Even worse than Sanji, since he actually does the stuff that is -not- OK, and isn't chivalrous.
* HypocriticalHumour: Calls Sanji a pervert. His answer? A kick to the face and a cry of "I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT FROM YOU, BASTARD!!"
--->'''[[ThoseTwoGuys Those Two Zombies]]''': HE'S GOT A POINT!!
* IncrediblyLamePun: Guilty of many of these. As Oda stated, even his sense of humour is invisible!
* IntrepidReporter: [[WordOfGod Word of Oda]] confirms in SBS Volume 71 that Absalom has been reporting a lot of big news under the name "Absa" using his devil fruit. He was at the Battle of Marineford and he was also the one who revealed the alliances between the Supernovas.
* {{Invisibility}}: His Devil Fruit ability, allowing him to become an invisible man. [[spoiler: He can also turn anything he touches invisible.]]
* MadeOfIron: He claims his body, which has the hide of an elephant surgically grafted to it, will shatter the legs of anyone who tries to kick him. Until Sanji comes along that is.
* MixAndMatchCritters: A human body, with the face of a lion, muscles of a bear and gorilla, and the skin of an elephant.
* MoralMyopia: He is repulsed by Zombie!Lola's attempts to force him into marriage. He then spends most of the arc trying to forcefully marry Nami while she was drugged unconscious (and this is after he all but ''molested'' her).
* OhCrap:
-->'''Sanji''': With all those animals in you... you'll make formidable mince meat...\\
'''Absalom''': -becomes momentarily visible from fear, and panics, kicking Sanji violently-.
* NiceHat: As might be worn by a bishop.
* NotSoDifferent: [[CombatCommentator The zombies watching his and Sanji's fight]] remark that as much as Sanji tries to be noble, he and Absalom are more similar than different. One important difference is showcased, though: Absalom, unlike Sanji, is willing to involve innocents in his fights.
* ThePeepingTom: Spies on Nami in the shower. One of the reasons [[ChivalrousPervert Sanji]] is mad at him. (Not because it's bad, but because he's always wanted to do it. And always wanted the Devil Fruit that Absalom ate.)
* SkipToTheEnd: Really impatient at both his wedding attempts.
* SuperStrength: Has the combined muscles of a bear and gorilla and a weight of 300 kilograms thanks to all the animal parts Hogback grafted onto his body.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: His BodyHorror form. He even removes his cloak beforehand too when evoking it.
* WeddingDeadline: Averted. As soon as he gets Nami, he knocks her out, dresses her up, and brings her to the altar.

->Voiced by: Horoshi Iwasaki (JP), Marcus D. Stimac (EN)

One of the main antagonists of the Thriller Bark arc, Dr. Hogback was a world-famous surgeon whose skills were considered miraculous, and disappeared ten years before the beginning of the main storyline. Chopper once idolized him, and is surprised to discover he was in Thriller Bark all along. He claimed to the Straw Hats that he arrived on the island to study the zombies about. He is assisted with his zombie servant, Victoria Cindry, is prone to smashing plates and [[ServileSnarker making cutting remarks especially about him]].

The crew later discover that he was the one who helped create the zombies, and is working for one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea: Gekko Moriah. He reveals to Chopper and Robin the truth of his disappearance and involvement with Moriah: He hated the fame his skills as a doctor gave him, and that Victoria Cindry was a celebrity he fell in love with, but died in an accident. Depressed over the news of her death, he resigned. However, Moriah contacted him with the promise of bringing Cindry back to life, and so he stole her corpse and disappeared to Thriller Bark, reviving her as a zombie, and creating Moriah's undead army.
----
* BaitTheDog: When the Straw Hats arrived outside his mansion, he was quite genial and welcoming of them, claiming that he came to Thriller Bark to study the zombies and learn the nature between life and death. It's soon revealed that he actually was the co-creator of the zombies of Thriller Bark, and the more that was learned about him, the more increasingly unpleasant he turned out to be.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: The guy has some very comical moments, especially with Victoria Cindry, but he's possibly one of the most loathsome villains in the entire series, approaching as bad as Spandam, when he delivers his MotiveRant and [[KickTheDog his treatment of the zombified Cindry]] near the end of the Thriller Bark arc.
* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: With Cindry.
* BrokenPedestal: To Chopper.
* CelebCrush: For Victoria Cindry.
%%* CoolShades[=/=]SinisterShades
* DrJerk: In his backstory: Despite his world-renowned skills a doctor, he later became disillusioned with his job as more patients came to him begging for his miraculous talents, and the only reason why he even continued was not of a desire to help people but for the money. He became even worse even Moriah employed him.
* EvilLaugh: Gives a high-pitched "Fosfosfosfosfos!"
* FangsAreEvil: His canines stick out quite a bit.
* FatBastard: His body is egg-shaped.
* AGodAmI: Boasted to have achieved a skill in medicine that doctors could only dream to: mastery of life and death, through the creation of the zombies at Thriller Bark.
* KickTheDog: Orders the zombified Cindry to kneel, he kicks her and then orders her to lick the floor. He then admits that he does not care for Cindry's personality, only the beauty she had.
* MadDoctor
* MadeOfIron[=/=]UnexplainedRecovery: He somehow survived Oars stomping on him.
* MoralityPet: Victoria Cindry when she was alive. She was the only patient of his that he cared for, and even had a crush on her. However, she turned down his offer to marry her, as she was already engaged, and shortly had an accident and died. This made Hogback twisted in his pursuit to conquer all ailments, even death itself.

[[folder:Chief Warden Magellan[[spoiler:, now Vice Warden]]]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Magellan_TV_Tropes.png
-->"Never forget that I have both the power ''and'' the authority to execute you all right now!"

->Voiced by: Mitsuaki Hoshino (JP)

Magellan is the chief warden of Impel Down, the most feared and impenetrable dungeon in the One Piece world. As such, he is a very imposing man with a very stern, business-like manner. Even when things get out of hand, he keeps up his professional manner, inspiring hope and admiration in much of the prison staff. Forms a bit of an OddCouple with Vice-Warden Hannyabal, a CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass [[TheStarscream Starscream]], who, despite his eccentricities, Magellan endorses as his successor.

Magellan has the power of poison, granted by the Venom-Venom Fruit (''Doku Doku no Mi''), and is consequently one of the most dangerous fighters in the story. He can cover himself and others with poisonous corrosive slime, and emit posion gas (which he's able to breathe). The effects of his poison can manifest themselves in a variety of ways, from blinding tear gas to paralyzing neurotoxins. As a side effect, Magellan has taken a liking to actually ingesting poison, and while it can't kill him, it gives him severe bowel troubles, forcing him to spend much of his time relieving himself. After the Impel Down arc, he got beaten to an inch of his life and had to be hospitalized and sedated to prevent him from killing himself. He eventually got over it, but was still demoted to Vice Warden during the TimeSkip, much to his dismay.
----
* AdvancingWallOfDoom: Is seen as this by most of the prisoners. And for good reason. And he really becomes this when he uses Venom Demon.
* AnimalMotifs: His face is quite similar to that of a baboon.
* AntiVillain[=/=]HeroAntagonist: Many fans see him and the less-evil members of the Impel Down staff in this light, as they do their jobs to ensure normal, ordinary citizens can rest easy knowing murderers, rapists, and thieves are safely locked away.
* ArcVillain: He's the primary antagonist of the Impel Down arc, and never appears following that arc, but by no means an actual villain.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: As the prison warden of Impel Down, he enjoys reminding unruly prisoners who is ''the boss''. [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath By melting them]].
* {{Badass}}: [[CurbStompBattle Curb-stomping]] the {{Determinator}} main protagonist with minimal damage and absolutely no comeback from said {{Determinator}} protagonist? Check. Tearing through hordes of rebelling prisoners without breaking a sweat and leaving no survivors? Check. [[OneHitKill One-shotting]] [[spoiler:the Blackbeard Pirates]] ''simultaneously''?. '''''Check'''''. The position of Chief Warden of Impel Down must require "{{Badass}}" to be present on the resume.
* BadBoss: Subverted with Hannyabal. Despite their bickering, they get along occasionally. Played straight with other subordinates as he usually breathes poison gas on them to keep them in line. Also, he doesn't show any hesitation of using his poison attacks while they are in the vicinity.
* BadPowersGoodPeople: You'd think there wouldn't be much "good" to do with a power that revolves entirely around fatally poisoning mass amounts of people. But Magellan put it to good use by becoming the warden of world's toughest prison, where most of the inmates certainly deserve a good poison bath.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: His horns are detachable and can be worn on his hands to function as this. He can also infuse them with his poison to make them more lethal.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Spends very little time actually doing his job on account of being occupied in the bathroom suffering intense bouts of diarrhea for several hours a day, but God help you if you have to actually face him. A slight subversion in his case though, as when Shiliew was still Head Jailer (replaced by Sadi Chan), Shiliew was actually considered more dangerous because he was actually around more often, and likely too competent for his job for his own good.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Initially on his first appearance he was a CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass who was as lecherous as his vice warden and acts slightly goofy on the job, but when compared to his later characterization of a completely NoNonsenseNemesis who takes his job very seriously and is extremely unfettered in his devotion to his position, it's rather amazing to see the difference.
** To be fair, that was before everything in the prison went to shit.
* CombatPragmatist: He has his silly moments, but during fights, he does ''not'' screw around. When he runs across [[spoiler:Blackbeard's crew]], he doesn't even bother asking why they're there without official permission; he just [[OneHitKill one-shots]] them all on sight.
* CurbStompBattle: Him vs Luffy. Guess who won? Hint: It wasn't Luffy.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: When he realizes that the inmates are about to reach Level 1, he orders his men to withdraw all the boats surrounding Impel Down, preventing them from escape. Though Jimbei, Crocodile, and Mr. 1 manage to secure a boat, they are too far away to get the rest of the inmates back. Magellan's plan would have very well worked had it not been for [[spoiler: [[SpannerInTheWorks Ivankov surviving his poison and using his body as a makeshift life raft]].]] He also had the good sense to realize that when [[spoiler:Blackbeard and his crew]] decided to show up, they were definitely up to no good, and he didn't even bother asking why they were there and just demolished them on sight.
* DeadlyGas: His power.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Dresses like an SS officer and uses poison gas... Oy.
* TheDreaded: Most characters react to the idea of Magellan appearing the same way--with an OhCrap. The only people that ever try to pick a fight with him are usually over confident, unaware of his strength, or TooDumbToLive.
* DrivenToSuicide: He's so distraught about allowing so many prisoners to escape Impel Down that he has to be sedated to keep him from killing himself in shame.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: AxCrazy Chief Jailer Shiliew's rampages across Impel Down killing off prisoners had made Magellan less than pleased, particularly as he had no damn reason for doing so, and he was forced to imprison him in Level Six as he was far too dangerous to be ignored.
** Subverted/justified in that he's not actually evil, just an [[HeroAntagonist antagonist]].
* GodzillaThreshold: Faced with a prison riot, an escape attempt involving countless Level 6 prisoners, ''and'' [[spoiler:the sudden appearance of Blackbeard]], he [[spoiler:authorizes Shiliew's temporary release]] to deal with the latter. He really, ''really'' didn't want to resort to that, but considering Impel Down was being attacked by no less than three separate groups at once (two of which containing some ''serious'' heavy hitters), he was kind of out of options. And too bad for him, it didn't end well.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: [[spoiler: After getting in another fight with the Blackbeard Pirates, he gets beaten badly and is left with some scars on his face.]]
* HeroAntagonist: He's brutal, but still fair and reasonable; the only reason that he's even coming into conflict with Luffy is because Luffy's goals (freeing Ace) just so happens to conflict with his own (keeping order and making sure that a bunch of incredibly powerful and dangerous criminals stay locked up). If it wasn't for the conflict of interest, he'd be more than happy to live and let live.
* HornAttack: His "horns" are actually detachable and he can wear them on his hands as weapons.
* ImplacableMan: In the second half of the Impel Down arc, he's basically an AdvancingWallOfDoom. No one wants to fight him, anyone who gets caught in his poison is left for dead so more people don't die, and by the last chapter of the arc, only a ''very'' small percentage of the original escapees manage to get out alive.
** [[spoiler:Subverted off-screen. Turns out he got beaten to within an inch of his life after Luffy left, in Magellan vs. The Blackbeard Pirates, Round 2]].
* ItsPersonal: He was only trying to stop Luffy from escaping because it was his job. But when [[spoiler: he finds Hanniybal beaten badly from his fight with Luffy]], that only gave him ''more'' motivation to stop Luffy.
* TheJuggernaut: Let's be clear about something. The entire second half of the Impel Down Arc basically amounts to Luffy and the gang ''running away from this guy''. And that's not even going into when he uses Venom Demon...
* LargeAndInCharge: He's both tall ''and'' broad.
* MadeOfIron: ''And how!'' Even by the standards of this show, Magellan is ridiculously durable. The man's tanked everything from bullets to cannon fire and it doesn't seem to even faze him. Even Luffy's Gear Second attacks, which could seriously injure a normal opponent and send them flying through a room, can at the most bring him to his knees. The only ''real'' wound he suffers is a blow to the forehead from his fight with Ivankov, not that it did much. [[spoiler:This record gets broken when he is beaten by the Blackbeard Pirates, who give him some scars on his face.]]
* MakeAnExampleOfThem: If you fuck with him in front of other prisoners, he will reduce you to sludge on the spot to show them what happens when you piss him off. It's quite good at helping him maintain order because no one wants to be the next "example".
* MightyGlacier: Never moves at a pace faster than a brisk walk. He moves faster using Venom Road, but he only does so to reach places he can't get to via walking.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Luffy tried to do what had always worked until then and thought being TheDeterminator would let him blow right past Magellan. It didn't end well for him.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: He does ''not'' fuck around. If he thinks you're a threat, he doesn't even bother asking any questions and just goes straight for the kill.
* ObviouslyEvil: Subverted; despite his appearance and what not, his goals and motives are only technically evil in the sense that [[ProtagonistCenteredMorality they conflict with Luffy's]]. If anything, he's more of a KnightTemplar, in that anyone who comes to his prison must be a terrible criminal. For the most part, he's correct. However, he does work for the [[TheGovernment World Government]], which means that people they deem as too dangerous, which could be even as simple as political dissidents, could land there.
* OneManArmy: He could kill every single person in Impel Down if he wanted to.
* TheParalyzer: He can generate all kinds of poisons, including paralytics.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: He could potentially destroy all of Impel Down if he decided to.
* PoisonIsCorrosive: His ultimate poison ''Kinjite'' (literally "Foul Hand"), which he uses in Hell's Judgement technique, which he's forbidden from using because it can potentially ''melt all of Impel Down''.
* PoisonousPerson: His Devil Fruit allows him to produce and control different types of poisons, from toxic gas to paralytic neurotoxins and all the way to hyper-corrosive acid.
* PunchClockVillain: The most straight up example here. He is merely doing his job and keeping dangerous inmates in prison. He only comes into conflict with Luffy because the latter is attempting to break Ace out of jail, something he cannot allow.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Well, his poison is a [[PurpleIsTheNewBlack sickly purple]] looking colour and is a powerful paralysis-inducing toxin.
* PuttingOnTheReich: He and most of Impel Down's staff dress ''very'' similarly to Nazis, right down to the armband.
** But you have to admit how undeniably cool he looks.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When he summons his ''Kinjite'' poison. The sign that you ''really'' should run away.
* RedRightHand: Subverted. Despite his demonic appearance and Bulgori-like hands, he is only evil in the fact that he's working for the World Government, and is just trying to keep bloodthirsty criminals behind bars.
* ShapingYourAttacks: Hydra and Hell's Judgment.
* SuperpowerLottery: Magellan's ability to manipulate poison makes him a '''very''' deadly opponent. His ability to coat himself in a layer of poison makes it nigh impossible for opponents to fight him in close combat without killing themselves. And if you try to run away, he has many ranged options such as Hydra, Venom Blowfish or Venom Road. When he really means it, he can also use Hell's Judgement above. And even without his poison, Magellan himself is a hulking tank of a man who is ungodly tough to take down. With this kind of powerset, is it any wonder he's the warden of a maximum security prison?
* TechnicolorToxin: Usually purple, unless he gets mad. In that case it turns red.
* TerrorHero: Well, not a hero by any means, but in the grand scheme of things, he's generally a morally good character whose take-no-shit attitude and tendency to go straight for the kill is designed to sow fear among prisoners to help make maintaining order easier. Given the fact that the prison holds some of the world's worst criminals and a breakout would spell disaster, this is not the worst approach to take.
* TouchOfDeath: Played Straight and Subverted, in a way. If you're a normal person (as in not a {{Determinator}}), you'll die if he touches you all right; but it won't be painless and instantaneous. You will ''suffer''.
* TranquilFury: Spends the second half of the arc boiling mad from everything that's happening but keeping it all under the surface.
* TykeBomb: [[http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130304175043/onepiece/images/3/36/Kid_Magellan.png A sbs reveals]] that he had his Poison abilities since he was a small child, [[UsedToBeASweetKid but fortunately]] Magellan just didn't have the disposition to effectively use it then. [[PowerIncontinence He also didn't]] have a very happy childhood because of it either.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Despite his arguments with [[TheStarscream Hannyabal]], [[spoiler: Magellan is noticeably upset when he finds him defeated by Luffy and states that he will not accept anyone else as his successor if he dies.]]
* WalkingWasteland: The Venom Demon technique.
* WingedHumanoid: Has two large wings on his back to go with his overall devil motif.
* WingsDoNothing: And apparently they are just a part of his uniform.
* YouShallNotPass: He's determined to not let '''''anyone''''' out of Impel Down.

[[folder:Marshall D. Teach -- "Blackbeard"]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Blackbeard_9985.png
-->"I have a message for the whole world! All you pathetic commoners out there who cling to peace! You too, Marines! And the World Government! And of course, the pirates of the world! The future of this world has just been decided... Zehahahaha! That's right! From now on... THIS IS '''MY ERA'''! Zehahaha... ZEHAHAHAHA!!"

->Voiced by: Creator/AkioOhtsuka (JP), Cole Brown (EN)

An ambitious former member of the Whitebeard Pirates whose fate seems entwined with Luffy's. He ate the Dark-Dark Fruit (''Yami Yami no Mi''), a Logia which affords him the awesome power of darkness. All-in-all, a somewhat difficult man to read. Like others with the initial "D." in their names, he's kind of a big deal.

Initially he started off as a no-name pirate, whose only relevance in the story was that he killed one of Whitebeard's crew and ran off, with big goals that had his sights set on Luffy to kickstart his plan. However, Ace intercepted him and the two clashed. Blackbeard won and turned Ace over to the Marines, securing a position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. However, it was just a means to an end to enter Impel Down during the Marineford war and recruit some high-bounty pirates into his crew. He then headed to Marineford and had his crew help gang up on Whitebeard and kill him. Somehow taking Whitebeard's earthquake power for his own before departing when Shanks arrived. Two years later, it's revealed he took over WB's territory (since being in his crew, he knew every location they've been to) and is now one of the Four Emperors. His crew are now searching for high level Devil Fruit users to kill so they can take their powers for their own.
-----
* {{Archnemesis}}: To Luffy himself; who holds Blackbeard chief responsible for Marineford and all that went wrong there, most of all being [[MyGreatestFailure Ace's death]], regardless of Blackbeard having not ''physically'' sealed the matter.. It may be mutual, given in their first conversation since then in Dressrosa, Blackbeard seemed unsettlingly delighted that Luffy was back in the game.
* AlmightyJanitor: He was in the service of Whitebeard for over 22 years, and was offered the spot of 2nd Division commander when it was vacant, due to his strength, durability, and [[EpilepticTrees maybe]] knowledge of Haki, but he declined, saying he had no such ambitions, giving his support to Ace. Long story short, [[FaceHeelTurn he lied]].
** In addition, he became a Warlord with a former bounty of 0, being an absolute unknown before then.
* {{Badass}}: As a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, this guy took on Shanks and gave him three scars, and that was ''before'' he ate the Dark-Dark Fruit. After his betrayal, he defeats Ace, one of Whitebeard's division leaders, with little effort. ''Then'', through a combination of [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority strength]] and [[XanatosSpeedChess shrewd planning]], he assembled a [[BadassCrew crew]] from Impel Down, the most dangerous prison in the world, culminating in [[spoiler: killing Whitebeard '''and stealing his Devil Fruit power!''' Put simply, there's a '''damn''' good reason he was able to replace Whitebeard as one of the Four Emperors.]]
* BadassBoast: "THIS IS '''MY ERA'''!"
* BaitTheDog: He seemed nice to Luffy and his crew, but the Marineford Arc gave us a true idea of his personality as someone who is more concerned with power than TrueCompanions.
* BatmanGambit: Successfully playing off of Whitebeard's familial protectiveness of his 'children'? Using the war to infiltrate Impel Down and double his crew size knowing the whole world's attention would be on Marineford? Certainly qualifies.
* BigBad: Shaping up to be the FinalBoss.
* BigBadEnsemble: Kick-started the Whitebeard War, [[spoiler:became an Emperor after killing Whitebeard himself]], and currently ties with Sakazuki as the primary antagonist for the series.
* BeardOfEvil: It took three costume changes, but he finally got one.
* BigDamnVillains: During the [[spoiler:Impel Down arc]], Luffy is having a tough time getting [[spoiler:Hannyabal]] to stay down. Blackbeard then shows up and knocks him out in one shot.
** He also pulls a spectacular one just as [[spoiler:Whitebeard is going to town on the Marines after Ace's death]]. He even [[spoiler:recruited several new crew members from Impel Down. His crew descends on Whitebeard and kills him]].
* BigEater: He debuts in a seemingly throwaway scene in which he attempts to match Luffy pound for pound in food. [[{{Foreshadowing}} They just happen to have opposite tastes]].
* BlessedWithSuck: His Dark-Dark powers have some drawbacks. It's unique among the Logias in that it ''doesn't'' make him [[SuperSmoke immune to physical strikes]] (he in fact speculates that it might even make them hurt ''more'') and projectiles are slightly drawn to him.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Blackbeard will step on anyone to achieve his goals, and appears incapable of understanding the concept of "grudges". For example, when Ace confronts him about killing Thatch, he pretty much brushes off the issue and invites Ace to join his crew, despite it being painfully obvious that Ace has come for vengeance.
* BoisterousBruiser: He's big, cheerful, idealistic, AffablyEvil, cares for the well-being of his men, is a BigEater matching Luffy, and [[BloodKnight loves a good fight]]. If anything, what makes his actions unnerving is that he doesn't seem to have an "off" switch for his friendliness, as seen when he cheerfully addresses Ace and tries to recruit him while planning to murder Luffy.
* BullyingADragon: Mocks Whitebeard to his face, insulting his inability to [[spoiler: save Ace]] and the fact that his [[PersonOfMassDestruction devil fruit]] is useless against Blackbeard's [[PowerNullifier own.]] Whitebeard responds with a spear to the shoulder and a quake-punch that has Teach begging for his life.
* CaptainColorbeard: Just like his namesake.
* CastingAShadow: The Dark-Dark Fruit's power literally lets him generate shadows.
* TheChessmaster: At this point, he's likely on par with Crocodile's cunning. His plan to become the Pirate King has so far included [[spoiler:throwing his former commander to the World Government to detract attention away from himself. ''Using'' that feat in order to become a Warlord of the Sea to gain access to Impel Down. Relying on the whole world being too focused on the Marines' war against Whitebeard (over the aforementioned commander) to notice him breaking into Impel Down and recruiting the worst criminals held there into his crew. Finally, showing up in the middle of said war to kill Whitebeard and steal his Devil Fruit power]]. Damn...
** Well, he didn't flat out plan out all of that at one time. See XanatosSpeedChess below.
** XanatosSpeedChess doesn't make him any less of a {{Chessmaster}}.
* ChewingTheScenery: The quote above, among others.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Did this to every superior he encountered in his pirate career. Second Commander Ace and Captain Whitebeard of the Whitebeard Pirates (it's even implied that he did this literally to Thatch in the anime), and the World Government as he renounced his Warlord title, [[spoiler:after freeing several Level 6 Impel Down prisoners]]. Although, it seems one of his new crewmembers may have this.
* CurbstompBattle: In spite of all the power he wields and the threat level that he was shown to pose, he ''still'' [[spoiler: lost badly to Whitebeard with very little effort on Whitebeard's part (a Whitebeard that was about one step away from death, to boot) and would have been killed if his crew hadn't stepped in to save his ass]].
* DarkAndTroubledPast: In spite of every trait described about him making him a completely immoral and ruthless man [[spoiler: [[http://images.wikia.com/onepiece/images/c/c2/Kid_blackbeard.PNG this drawing by Oda for an idea of what the Warlords were like as children]] implies that he's not as simply evil as we though him to be. And out of all of them, he's the only one looking miserable, meaning he must've suffered a great deal before he became the way he is now]]
* DarkIsEvil: He even went out of his way to claim his darkness powers are the most evil of all Devil Fruits. Considering he can completely nullify other Devil Fruit powers, there might be more to this claim than it being a simple boast...
* DishingOutDirt: He now posseses the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
* DirtyCoward: Surprising, given how he carries the Will of D. and yet faces death with cowardice. [[spoiler: When Whitebeard is about to kill him, he has the audacity to cry about Whitebeard killing his own son. This is right after Teach mocked him and killed his subordinates. He then adds on by wimpering and cowering before him.]]
* DrunkOnTheDarkSide: He's always been a LargeHam, but when [[spoiler:he gets the powers of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit]] he goes full-blast into this trope.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: For all his less admirable qualities, even ''he'' has more empathy than [[GeneralRipper Akainu]].
* EvilCounterpart: Another one for Luffy, and also the best fit for the trope. In addition, the rest of his crew also shadow other members of Straw Hats.
** Just take a look at Teach's Black Hole stance--it's almost ''picture-perfect'' for Gear Second's stance, save for the open palm as opposed to closed fist. Now, contrast the black "smoke" of the Yami Yami no Mi to the white steam that comes off of Luffy. If this doesn't set off some parallel alarms, nothing's gonna.
** This becomes even more clear with [[spoiler:the addition of Shiliew who, being a master swordsman]], is a pretty obvious shadow of Zoro.
** Another similar trait is his own talent to get powerful pirates to join him. And at least in his original crew (if not necessarily his expanded one) EvilIsOneBigHappyFamily.
** Also both Blackbeard and Luffy were recognized by Shanks as having great potential; he saves Luffy's life at the cost of his own arm, and he warns the powerful Ace not to tangle with Blackbeard.
* EvilLaugh: "Zehahahah" is pretty much the most common thing to come out of this guy's mouth, almost to the point of a VerbalTic.
%%* EvilOverlord
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Subverted. One of the biggest indicators that he ''isn't'' a true inheritor of the mysterious "Will of D" is that when he is in immediate life-threatening danger and has a legitimate chance of dying, he starts begging for his life like the DirtyCoward that he is.
* TheFatalist: This is his crew's central motif and belief.
%%* FatBastard
* FauxAffablyEvil: He'll appear friendly at first, but then he could quickly switch to mocking and killing people in a heartbeat. All while still wearing the same smile.
* ForWantOfANail: Pretty much everything that's happened recently (minus Sabaody) is connected to his killing of Thatch and capture of Ace.
* FriendlyEnemy: For the most part, anyway. He had nothing but encouragement and praise for [[spoiler:Ace and, later, Luffy, and then later Whitebeard]], but he brutally dismissed [[spoiler:Hannyabal]]'s belief in the pursuit of justice.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: From a GiantMook to [[PsychoForHire Warlord of the Sea]] to [[spoiler:Emperor]].
* GeniusBruiser: Doesn't seem like it at first, but he is a rather cunning planner. So much so that he's able to manipulate [[spoiler:the World Government, and use them to find new crew mates]].
* GiantMook: See AlmightyJanitor above. Because he kept his head down a lot, he served this role to Whitebeard instead. Until the Dark-Dark Fruit came along, that is.
* GlassCannon: His Devil Fruit is considered one of the strongest, but it also makes him receive double damage from enemy attacks.
%%* {{Gonk}}
* GravityMaster: One of the central powers of the Dark-Dark Fruit, and a staple of his attack pattern thus far.
* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: He does this to Jewelry Bonney after he defeats her crew and captures her. Her response? A kick to the face, after which he expresses that's a very unlady-like thing to do.
* ItsAllAboutMe: To him, it doesn't matter how many died in the Paramount War, or from the various problems afterwards, [[spoiler:like a release of who knows how many evil Pirates from Level Six or the surge in new Pirates]], all directly or indirectly from his own actions. As long as he [[spoiler:becomes Pirate King]], it's all good.
* {{Jerkass}}: Hints of this are given in his fight with Ace, but he fully becomes one once he meets Luffy again.
* JustBetweenYouAndMe: Inverted. He doesn't tell you phases of his plans until ''after'' they played out. This is confirmed when [[TheChessmaster fellow schemer]] and predecessor Crocodile asks him why [[spoiler:he would throw away his Warlord title]] so soon, only for him to reply it's none of his business. He would later reveal that the only reason he had [[spoiler:the title in the first place is to break into Impel Down and take the world's worst criminals as his crewmembers, while his former captain prepares for battle with his former allies]].
* KickTheSonOfABitch: When he went to Impel Demon [[spoiler: to get a new crew]] he had the Level 6 prisoners [[spoiler: kill each other in order to find the remaining members for his crew]]. But, considering they're all unrepentant criminals who were implied to be rotten to the core...
* KlingonPromotion: [[spoiler:He became one of the Four Emperors by killing his predecessor Whitebeard.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: The tone of of the story tends to get more dramatic and dangerous whenever he gets involved, case in point being he essentially set off the events of Marineford single-handedly.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Even if you [[spoiler:get Whitebeard's powers]], if you don't know much about it yet, like he has admitted to, it wouldn't do much against a guy [[spoiler:like Shanks]], not to mention Sengoku, the rest of the Warlords, the Admirals, and the rest of Whitebeard's crew. Probably why he wisely [[spoiler:withdrew from Marineford]].
** This happened again much later on when he attempted to make a prisoner trade with the World Government. After he noticed that they sent Akainu, he immediately called it off and got the hell out of there. He ''may'' have been able to take him, but when you're dealing with a homicidal maniac like Akainu who would be more than happy to wipe out your entire crew, you don't leave anything to chance.
* LargeAndInCharge: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Although he is 11'3", he's not the biggest member of his crew. [[spoiler:Vasco Shot, who seems to be around the range of Kuma/Moria, i.e. 22 feet, towers over Blackbeard]]. And that's not even getting started on [[spoiler:San Juan Wolf, who looks to be as tall as the Sears Tower]].
* LargeHam: When he can get time to tell someone of his thoughts and plans, he explodes with it, like the quote above.
* MadeOfIron: It takes a lot to bring him down, and it's easy to do it, him being so slow. Too bad for him [[spoiler:Magellan exploited his weakness by flooding out his pain neuroceptors]].
* ManOfKryptonite: To any Devil Fruit users.
* ManipulativeBastard: Notice how [[AffablyEvil he often talks to his enemies in a calm and friendly manner]]? That's to get ''someone's guard down'' before he attacks.
** And how he's been in wait during the whole [[spoiler:Paramount War]], but only reveals himself once both sides are very much weakened?
** Forcing [[spoiler:the inmates of Level Six to kill each other]] in order to get a chance to [[spoiler:escape as members of his crew can count]].
* NecessaryDrawback: His gravity powers can suck in Devil Fruit powers and drag opponents closer to him. They also subtly attract projectiles toward his body, making him reliant on his own toughness.
* NighInvulnerability: Subverted. Despite the Dark-Dark Fruit being a Logia-type, which had thus far featured this trope as a tandard feature of its power-sets, its abilities actually make Teach ''more'' vulnerable to physical damage than normal. Of course, being an incredibly powerful individual as he is, he's still not easy to put down, despite this handicap.
* NothingPersonal: Says this about killing Thatch. He had nothing against him, it was just the only way to get his Devil Fruit. This is also his general attitude about Ace, Luffy, Whitebeard, and anyone else he screws over. While he ''did'' turn Ace in to the World Government, that was only because Ace refused his [[WeCanRuleTogether offer to join his crew]] and attacked him. And though he originally intended to capture Luffy and turn him instead, it was simply because of his bounty. Otherwise he encourages Luffy to follow his dreams and even wished him luck in rescuing Ace. As far as Whitebeard, he even admits that he admired him, it's just that he feels Whitebeard's time is over. Whitebeard however sees the murder of Thatch as a ''very'' personal insult.
* NotSoDifferent: Seems to think he and Luffy are on a similar level with their [[MightMakesRight powerful ambitions]] and huge dreams. Luffy seems to agree since he's very disturbed by Blackbeard's BlackAndGrayMorality and the implications it presents.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Received one from [[spoiler: a very nearly dead Whitebeard that would have resulted in his death if his crew hadn't stepped in]].
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Someone ''really'' should have taken a closer look at this guy after he managed to give '''Shanks''' a permanent scar in a head-on clash, ''before'' eating his Devil Fruit.
* ObviouslyEvil: He has a mouth filled with gaps for starters.
* OneOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Seems to be a reoccuring theme with him: He is pretty much the only pirate in the series that explicitly does not have a bounty, he was the only member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea not to have an animal motif (though he [[spoiler:resigned from the position later after [[XanatosSpeedChess getting what he wanted from it]] and various merchandise from the series have depicted him as a hippopotamus]]), he is the only Devil Fruit user to be able to use ''two'' Devil Fruit powers, he's the only Logia type Devil Fruit user who is unable to turn into the element he uses to become invulnerable to normal attacks, and he is the only person with the initial of D to show outright fear when faced with his own death and the only one to show extreme levels of disloyality and immorality.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: His darkness powers can engulf half an island by himself, and now he's [[spoiler:stolen Whitebeard's power to create earthquakes and tsunamis]].
* PowerCopying: It seems that because of his own unique body structure, [[spoiler:he can absorb the powers of at least one other Devil Fruit from corpses, and he was after Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit power]]. Post-TimeSkip, he's said to be hunting after others to do the same to them.
* PowerNullifier: His power allows him to cancel the abilities of other Fruit users while he remains in contact with them. Unfortunately, as Whitebeard was all too happy to teach him, this does ''nothing'' to reduce the power of an unaided physical attack.
* PowerOfTheVoid: The Darkness can absorb anything into it, literally erasing it from our world. Of course, he can also expel it.
* PowerParasite: In the final stages of the Battle of Marineford, Blackbeard [[spoiler: steals Whitebeard's Devil Fruit]]. Post-timeskip he goes after even ''more''.
* PsychoRangers: His crew serves as this to the Straw Hats. To wit, there are similarities between Luffy and Blackbeard (similar belief in dreams, the Will of D, so on), Zoro and Shilliew (both master swordsmen), Chopper and Doc Q (doctors), Van Augur and Usopp (snipers), and Jesus Burgess and Franky (helmsmen, strongmen, etc.). The other members of the crew have not demonstrated their abilities much, but it's fairly likely that they will compliment the Straw Hats in some way as well.
* RousingSpeech: To the ''Straw Hats'' on their first meeting. He compliments them on sticking up to their beliefs and assures them that some fights aren't worth it with fools like Bellamy. It's enough to leave ''Luffy'' speechless.
* ShockwaveClap: The Quake Punch at a longer distance.
* SphereOfDestruction: He can also use the Quake Bubble now too.
* StoutStrength: Is a very big man, but incredibly strong and durable.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cherry pies. Every time we see him eating it's always cherry pies.
* {{Ubermensch}}: He rejects the increasing Pirate beliefs of not believing in the future, seeks to bring a New Age, is a firm believer in personal strength and morals (primarily dreams, in his case), is very charismatic, and incredibly good at [[TheChessmaster shaping the world to his will]].
* WolverineClaws: Seen sporting at least one in a flashback in Chapter 645.
* TheWorfEffect: Happened twice. First time was when he and his crew encountered Magellan, who didn't even bother asking them just what the hell they were up to (considering that he was already dealing with a riot and a mass escape attempt that involved some ''incredibly'' dangerous people, that was probably the wisest course of action) and just flooded all of them with poison, Blackbeard included, and the second time involved Whitebeard demonstrating just how many fucks he gave about Blackbeard's Devil Fruit by absolutely pulverizing him, and if it wasn't for Blackbeard's crew stepping in in the latter case, he definitely would have been killed.
* WrongContextMagic: Both the Dark-Dark Fruit compared to other Logias, and his ability to [[spoiler:possess multiple Devil Fruit powers]].
* XanatosSpeedChess: He [[InformedAbility claims to be playing Speed Chess]]; in his own words, he has a plan, but circumstances keep changing and he's adapting the plan to fit the bumps along the way. For example, he wasn't going to bother following his original plan to bring in Luffy for a bounty after Ace caught up with him. Once the plan is fully laid out, it looks a lot more like a Roulette with all of the things that went his way. Though a lot of that was probably just luck, and his fortunes may change in the future.
** Not a joke: The reason he became a Warlord of the Sea? To [[spoiler: gain the opportunity to break into Impel Down]].
** Considering that he needed the Warlord position [[spoiler:to break into Impel Down and release the Level 6 prisoners eventually]], he was probably planning to [[spoiler:confront Whitebeard at some point, anyway]]. Realizing that Ace was hounding him made things go even faster and [[GambitRoulette everything falling into place easier]].

->Voiced by: [[CelebrityVoiceActor Naoto Takenaka]] (JP), ScottMcNeil (EN)

"The Flying Pirate" Gold Lion Shiki is a legendary pirate known for clashing with Gold Roger himself and for being the very first pirate to ever escape from Impel Down. His base of operations is a collection of [[FloatingContinent floating islands]], which he himself made with his Float-Float Fruit (''Fuwa Fuwa no Mi''), swarming with fierce animals called Merveille, from which he and his five-thousand strong crew plot their revenge on the world.
-----
* AccentAdaptation: A thick Jamaican accent in the English Dub.
* AnimalMotifs: The lion, of course. Not only does he have long, mane-like hair, Merveille is littered with MixAndMatchCritters (as the lion is the king of beasts). But to really drive the point home, he uses his powers to create roaring lions out of the surrounding enviroment.
* ArtificialLimbs: He uses swords as prosthetic legs. Really.
* AtopAMountainOfCorpses: Pulls this in Chapter 0.
* {{Badass}}: Inactive for twenty years, ''still fights off the entire Straw Hat crew by himself''. Even tanking some of their strongest attacks without even flinching.
* BlondGuysAreEvil: Golden-blonde.
* BullyingADragon: In Chapter/Episode 0, he tries to rescue Gold Roger from execution by going to Marineford alone and picking a fight with (then) Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp in the process. He lost easily and ended up in Impel Down as a result.
* ChunkyUpdraft: A pretty basic application of his powers.
* DidntSeeThatComing: Thinking Luffy will kill himself in the lightning storm [[spoiler: and finding it has no effect on Luffy (y'know, being made of rubber and all). It just ''super-charged'' Luffy's attack who brings it right down on Shiki.]]
* EvilPlan: Known for making these. His latest one spanned ''two decades'' in its formation.
* EvilLaugh: Jihahahaha.
* FantasticRacism: Has an irrational hatred of East Blue, as it's where Roger died, and Shiki found it a disgrace that such a great pirate would meet his end in the weakest of the seas. [[spoiler:Which ultimately is the reason he antagonizes the Straw Hats when they mention most of their members are from there. Also worth noting that the only two people to ever beat him were both born in East Blue.]]
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: He's seen chomping on an over-sized cigar fairly often, even while fighting.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: While being able to levitate things doesn't ''sound'' very impressive, the way he uses his power is ''very'' scary.
* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:Shiki's plans for world domination are stopped by a man from East Blue. Twice]].
* KillEmAll: [[spoiler:Shiki's plan for the inhabitants of his floating islands and the entirety of East Blue as a message to the world of his power.]]
* LargeHam: He loves to flamboyantly brag when he has the upper hand, though he calms down when he's serious.
* LaughablyEvil: When he's not shooting his own men out of anger, [[spoiler:oppressing villagers, [[SadisticChoice Sadistic Choicing]] people, or shoving their faces into poisonous substances]], he comes off as quite eccentric, performing dance routines to '70s espionage music, nicknaming people, and joking that DumbMuscle Scarlet reminds him of his mother.
* LifeOrLimbDecision: [[spoiler:He cut off his legs in order to escape from Impel Down]].
* LoadBearingBoss: The way his powers work is that once he levitates something, it stays in the air until either he decides to let it down himself, or he somehow loses control. [[spoiler:Once Luffy defeats him, the FloatingContinent ceases to float]].
* ManipulativeBastard: After seeing Nami's navigation skills, he'd already decided he wants her as his navigator, so he acted friendly around the Straw Hats before kidnapping her, and separating the crew across his island, and on the occassion that Nami escaped from his fortress and found the crew, he has visual Den Den Mushis around, so he could just go back for her [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown and kick the asses]] of the Straw Hats, and threaten to finish them off as well as her home-town, to bring her to his side. It's too bad Nami's a [[PluckyGirl better]] [[GuileHero schemer]]... and that she'd already been through similar crap with Arlong.
* MindOverMatter: Basically what his [=DF=] ability boils down to.
* OhCrap: His reaction when [[spoiler: the lightning he thought would kill Luffy only enhances his Gear 3 Gigant Leg and Luffy bringing it down his way.]]
* PlayingWithSyringes: The source of his monstrous animals is a special chemical called [=SIQ=], which [[HollywoodEvolution speeds up the evolutionary process]].
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: [[spoiler:He fancied himself Roger's rival, and couldn't possibly believe that the Marines had captured him. Since then, he's become highly jaded with the Great Pirate Era, believing that all of the pirates that came since Roger are mere treasure mongers]].
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Seeing on how he can throw ''islands'' at you...
* PowerFloats: Literally. His Devil Fruit allows him to fly and levitate other objects, up to and including [[strike:battleships]] ''islands''.
* RazorWind: Thanks to his sword-legs, he's capable of launching a flurry of air slashes while airborne.
* RedRightHand: The steering wheel lodged into his head and the two swords he uses for prosthetic legs.
* SayMyName: Just before [[spoiler:Luffy beats him, he screams out Roger's name.]]
* ShapingYourAttacks: Usually gargantuan lion heads.
* SlasherSmile: Variations. He sports a [[DissonantSerenity beaming grin]] as [[spoiler:he drops Marine battleships out of the sky]], has a smarmy smirk as [[spoiler:he coerces Nami into committing a FaceHeelTurn]], and finally goes on to a full-blown SlasherSmile while fighting Luffy.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Shiki constantly thinks Luffy and the Straw Hats are beneath him and doesn't take them at all seriously. Even when the crew comes bursting into his throne room just as the final phase of his plan is about to take off. And they throw the whole place into disarray. It ultimately leads to his downfall [[spoiler: when he doesn't bother attacking Luffy as he's charging up his final attack.]]
* VillainProtagonist: Was this in Chapter/Episode 0.
* VisualPun: Overlaps with StealthPun - he has the ''helm'' of a ship stuck in his head.
* WeCanRuleTogether: [[spoiler:To Roger. Apparently he thought that Roger knew the location of a weapon of mass desruction, and wanted Roger to join with his massive armada so they could TakeOverTheWorld. Roger, of course, declined, then curb-stomped his so-called "armada"]].

[[folder:"Iron Mace" Alvida]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Alvida_Before_and_After.png
-->"Who's the most beautiful woman in the world?"

->Voiced by: Yoko Matsuoka (JP), Kayzie Rogers (EN, 4Kids, pre-Devil Fruit), Kathleen Delaney (EN, 4Kids, post-Devil Fruit), Laurie Steele (EN, Funi)

The lady pirate Alvida was the first enemy that Luffy faced in his travels. A grotesquely obese woman, she thought of herself as the most beautiful woman on the seas (Oda stated that the one thing missing on her ship was a mirror), and would beat those who annoyed her with an iron mace. Luffy incurred her wrath by calling her an old hag, but it only took him one punch to lay her flat.

Sometime after her encounter with Luffy, she obtained and ate the Slip-Slip Fruit (''Sube Sube no Mi''), which transformed her from her short, fat, unsightly self into a tall, slim, and sultry woman. When people say that she's the most beautiful woman on the seas, now they really mean it.

Currently she is co-captain of the Buggy Pirates.

She has a bounty of 5,000,000 Berries

* AffablyEvil: After her Devil Fruit transformation. She has now generally lost the mean-tempered, petty streak she was known for. She tries to strike a friendly conversation with Luffy and often serves as the voice of reason in her crew. Of course, she's still a pirate and will still use her iron mace on anyone who stands in her way.
* BadassLongCoat: Manages to pull this off against all odds at the start of the Impel Down arc.
* BadBoss: She is some kind of perfectionist who wants everything around her to be clean and beautiful and she punishes severely henchmen who slack off. Interesting enough, she mellows a lot after she becomes a beauty herself.
* BareYourMidriff: Post-Devil Fruit.
* CarryABigStick: She uses a large iron mace as her weapon, and can still swing it effortlessly after gaining her new body.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: When she first revealed her new self in Loguetown, more than a few women were smitten along with the men.
* FatBastard: At first, but eventually loses the former part.
** FormerlyFat
* {{Gonk}}: Before she ate her Devil Fruit, she was short, fat, and ugly. Luffy understandably couldn't recognize her after her transformation.
* HelloNurse: Post-Devil Fruit, of course.
* LightningBruiser: Post-Devil Fruit.
* MsFanservice: Post-Devil Fruit. [[http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111215171701/onepiece/pl/images/9/9d/Post-War_Alvida.jpg Behold!]]
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Initially had pretty decent StoutStrength, enough to cave a guy's face in her ship with her large mace. Upon getting her new lean body, she can swing her mace just as effortlessly.
* NiceHat: She wears a plume-adorned cowboy hat both pre- and post-transformation.
* NighInvulnerable: Of a different sort than a Logia. Her Devil Fruit made her skin "slippery smooth", effectively giving most of her body zero friction and resulting in attacks and projectiles simply sliding off harmlessly.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Let's be clear: She made it to the first half of the Grand Line. Yeah, Buggy got captured by the Marines then, but the point is ''she didn't''. And that was before the TimeSkip.
* OnlySaneWoman: The carnival nature of the Buggy Pirates annoys her quite a bit.
* ProudBeauty: Once she became slim, she knew she really was a thing of beauty and used it to draw a lot of attention.
* ShoutOut: She is based off of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awilda Awilda]], a legendary female pirate who pretended to be a man in order to become a sailor and who became the leader of a pirate crew and later became queen of Denmark. It is unlikely Awilda existed.
* StalkerWithACrush: She joined Buggy in order to find Luffy in order to "make him her man". Since he was the first person to ever hit her, this may have some sadomasochistic undertones...
* StarterVillain: Her initial appearance is in the very first episode of the anime, and the second chapter of the manga, immediately following the story of Luffy meeting Shanks.
* StoutStrength: Pre-Devil Fruit.
* TookALevelInBadass: She went from being a one-shot StarterVillain to a fairly competent threat who, lest we forget, now has Devil Fruit abilities that make her far more durable than she appears and gives her a good degree of immunity against hand-to-hand users.
* VagueAge: Pre-transformation, she looks middle-aged. Post-transformation, she looks young (in her mid- or late twenties). It's hard to say if she simply looked much older than her age at the start, or if the Devil Fruit gave her a youthful appearance along with beauty.
* VillainTeamUp: Saves Buggy and tags along with him after that.
* WouldHitAGirl: Luffy’s first victim of this. But not the last.

[[folder:Captain "Axe-Hand" Morgan]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Captain_Morgan_TV_Tropes.png
-->"You are duty bound to obey me!"
->Voiced by: Creator/BanjoGinga (JP), J. David Brimmer (EN, 4Kids), Brett Weaver (EN, Funi)

"Axe-Hand Morgan" is the first high-ranking Marine officer to be shown in the series. Originally a loyal member of the Marines without a fear of death, once Morgan gained the rank of Captain, he became corrupt and started to act like an asshole for the sake of it. He hated disobedience from his own men, and would often punish them with death, [[SocialDarwinist assuming that his rank meant that any order he gave must not be questioned]].

He was last seen adrift at sea after escaping from Marine custody.
-----
* AxCrazy: Not nearly as insane as the future villains, but is still mentally unstable
* AnAxeToGrind: [[HandicappedBadass His own hand.]]
* ArcVillain: One of the first ones.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: At least around the time he was introduced (being the first BigBad), he was the strongest person on the island.
* BadBoss: Accidentally chip his giant statue of himself while lifting it up? You must be punished for insulting his authority.
* {{Determinator}}: Complete JerkAss he may be, but you gotta admit, standing up to the guy who just singlehandedly butchered an entire shipful of your fellow soldiers, broke your jaw, and currently has you at his mercy, takes some serious balls.
** Not to mention that in his later cover story, he openly attacked ''[[BadassGrandpa Garp]]''. Sure, he only got away with it because Garp randomly fell asleep, but as famous as Garp is, he had to have known something about what the guy was capable of, and he went through with it anyway. Pretty hardcore.
* DirtyCop: Unlike later KnightTemplar Marines who at least believe they're doing the right thing, Morgan's flat-out corrupt, harassing the citizens that live near his base and using government money to build statues of himself.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: His name is derived from a brand of rum. Surprisingly, while Ace and Smoker's names [[{{Bowdlerize}} were changed,]] the [[FourKidsEntertainment 4Kids dub]] left Morgan's name alone.
** While this is the case, it is doubtful that it was intentional on 4Kids' part. See MeaningfulName below.
* GlassCannon: Don't let the appearance fool you. He's strong enough to slice a fence with his axe, so he's stronger than the typical One Piece Mook. But, it only took like, two of Luffy's punches to knock him out, and Zoro finished him off with absolutely no effort. And this was at the start of the series, long before the Straw Hats started getting REALLY tough...
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: A cigar. He's actually the first character in the series to be shown smoking, but boy oh boy he sure ain't the last.
* KickTheDog: Virtually everything he does.
* MightyGlacier: Strong enough to split the earth with his axe. Quickly schooled when he can't actually land a hit.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Named after famed pirate Henry Morgan.
* RedRightHand: "''Axe'' Right Hand" is more like it.
* ShoutOut: Oda admits he is based on a real life pirate [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Morgan Henry Morgan]] a Royal Navy admiral turned privateer pirate.
* SmugSnake: He is quite arrogant about being a captain, even though he only got the rank by capturing Captain Kuro, [[spoiler:who in fact allowed him to capture a decoy after killing the rest of the crew]].
** Not quite true. See the entry for SocialDarwinist below.
* SocialDarwinist: Believes he got to his position through hard work (although a flashback in the Kuro arc reveals that [[{{Brainwashed}} it's not the case]]) and demands the respect reflecting that. Also, he believes his orders should go unquestioned because he's higher up the pecking order.
** Actually, according to [[WordOfGod one of the databooks,]] the Kuro incident only got Morgan promoted to Lieutenant Commander, and he genuinely achieved the rank of Captain on his own merit.
* WouldHurtAChild: Ordered the death of a small child for bringing food to Zoro.

[[folder:"Genius Jester" Buggy]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Buggy_tv_tropes.png
-->"All of the world's treasure belongs to me!"
->Voiced by: Creator/ShigeruChiba (JP), David Wills (EN, 4Kids), Creator/MikeMcFarland (EN, Funi)

Buggy the Clown was initially the first real pirate that Luffy encountered early on in his travels. Buggy is a rather gaudy individual who used to be on the legendary Roger Pirates crew, along with Luffy's idol Shanks, who Buggy eventually bore a grudge against for unwittingly foiling a scheme to find a legendary treasure. After Gold Roger's death, the two went their separate ways, and while Shanks went on to become one of the Four Emperors, Buggy hung around the relatively tame East Blue.

His Devil Fruit is the Chop-Chop Fruit (''Bara Bara no Mi''), which lets him split his body apart as he pleases. After his defeat at Luffy's hands, he teamed up with Luffy's StalkerWithACrush Alvida, and after a failed attempt at revenge, entered the Grand Line in pursuit of the Straw Hats.

After the Time skip, Buggy has become a Warlord of the Sea.

He has a former bounty of 15,000,000 Berries.

* ArcVillain: To Luffy. Unfortunately, he doesn't remember what happened during this time except Buggy beating his hat and him getting the clown's ass kicked.
* ArtEvolution: Buggy's first appearances emphasized the evil aspect of his appearance, invoking a MonsterClown vibe. However, later appearances depict him (as far as how he is drawn) in a much more comedic light, emphasizing the comic aspect of his character.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Notable as one of the few ''aversions'' to the trope in all of ''One Piece'', especially among the pirates. In Impel Down, he ends up gaining an entire crew's worth of followers consisting of its prisoners, ''every last one of them'' far tougher than he is.
** But played straight among his original crew.
*** Considering that he made his way along the Grand Line just fine prior to Impel Down, this isn't ''entirely'' subverted, though this could be because of his experience on Gold Roger's ship.
* {{Badass}}: His Devil Fruit, while much weaker than the other Devil Fruits in sheer power, he is very intelligent in how he uses it; and the fact he manipulated the Government and a group of inmates both far stronger and more intelligent into believing he's a big threat just by his choice of words and assumptions based on connections rather than power like every other important character in the series, says a lot.
* BerserkButton: Whatever you do, don't mention his nose, or you risk being blown up. It doesn't help that he has a tendency to mishear things...
* BigBadWannabe: He gets a massive burst of confidence after [[spoiler:the escaped Impel Down prisoners rally around him after his history with Gold Roger is revealed]] and both they and the Marines believe him to be of comparable strength to his old shipmate, Shanks. Thus he sets his eyes on taking Whitebeard's place as an Emperor.
** Played with in that he is believed to be one of the biggest threats in the One Piece world at the moment. With the emphasis on "''believed'' to be..."
* BrilliantButLazy: Oda outright states Buggy ''does'' have the potential to be one of the most powerful men in the One Piece world -- he's just too lazy to train himself.
* CatchPhrase: He inserts "flashy" into almost every sentence he speaks.
* CircusOfFear: His entire crew follows this trope, sans Alvida [[spoiler:and his new crew from Impel Down]].
* CowardlyLion: Especially as he used to be part of [[spoiler: Roger's crew, which included a lot of headstrong pirates]], and is intimidated easily, which is understandable in this CrazyAwesome setting.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Can beat powerful foes with a bit of teamwork and motivation. Otherwise, he has a very short attention span and doesn't know how to be subtle.
* CursedWithAwesome: His Devil Fruit power, on top of being very powerful when used right, renders him immune to sword slashes. Too bad for Buggy though, he was an excellent swimmer before he ate the fruit, and planned to swim his way to many underwater treasures before he accidentally swallowed the fruit because of Shanks. He still holds a grudge to this day, even though he's now very proficient at using his fruit's powers.
* DetachmentCombat: His power amounts to this, letting him detach and levitate any part of his body (except his feet; he can't float them, and he can't levitate too far away from them either). It lets him attack from almost any angle, and he's effectively immune to slashing attacks as well.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Buggy has an utter lack of fear towards swordsmen. Luffy uses him as a shield against [[spoiler:[[ImplausibleFencingPowers Mihawk]], Mihawk]] slashes Buggy to bits, but he easily survives and puts himself back together, thanks to his [[DetachmentCombat immunity to slashing weapons]]. All the while, he's just angry and annoyed at Luffy and [[spoiler:Mihawk]] for using him as a cutting board/shield.
** When he finally reunites with Shanks, his only instinct is to rant at and threaten him for screwing him over all those years ago, even if he didn't mean it, and over a bunch of other stuff. Shanks is one of the Four Emperors and one of the most [[TheDreaded feared]], {{Badass}} and powerful men on the planet, but Buggy knows him well enough that he doesn't see him that way and acts like they were still cabin boys around him (though to an extent, so does Shanks). His crew, though, don't know any better, and think their captain is CrazyAwesome for speaking to Shanks like that.
* DisproportionateRetribution: He once destroyed an entire town ''just because some kids made fun of his nose''.
* TheDreaded: Became this when the Marines revealed his past with Shanks [[spoiler:on Roger's ship. It eventually evolved to the point where he became a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea]]. Subverted in that despite his reputation, Buggy is still one of the weakest characters in the entire cast.
** Largely subverted among those who actually know him, particularly the big names of the Impel Down escapees. When they found out he was in the Roger Pirates, they shrug it off, Ivankov even suggesting that he was the "wimp" of an otherwise BadassCrew.
* EnemyMine: Teams up with Luffy while in [[spoiler:Impel Down in order to help him save Ace]]. Subverted since he has every intention of abandoning Luffy, but fate seems to have other plans. This is played straighter when he befriends Mr. 3, even if they were never technically enemies.
* EvilCounterpart: To Luffy. They even have similar sounding names. Their powers can also be considered opposites--both abilities allow their users to, in a sense, extend their bodies, but while Luffy can resist blunt force, he's still vulnerable to blades, while Buggy can resist blades but is vulnerable to blunt force.
** Due to his past as being [[TheLancer the left wing man]] to Shanks and the OnlySaneMan as well as a CowardlyLion, he's this to Usopp. Having a funny nose doesn't hurt either.
* EvilLaugh: "Gyahahahaha!"
* FacialMarkings: Standard clown makeup with the addition of a jolly roger on his forehead.
** Which changes with each of his major appearances.
* FakeUltimateHero: Or rather, Fake Ultimate Villain. When he was young, Buggy served as a cabin boy on the ship of Gold Roger (the former Pirate King) alongside Shanks (who is now one of the Four Emperors). When this fact came to the World Government's attention, they immediately assumed that Buggy was just as strong as Shanks and that he had been practicing ObfuscatingStupidity the whole time.
** Thanks to his fake bravado, after the Impel Down Arc, he now has an army of dangerous world-class criminals under his command. Buggy now has essentially [[LethalJokeCharacter one of the strongest crews]] in the series.
** Add onto that [[spoiler: he's been made a Warlord of the Sea]] because of it.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Subverted. While he's now got a powerful crew of dangerous pirates behind him after Impel Down and a reputation as a legitimate threat in the eyes of the Marines because of his affiliation with the Roger Pirates, he's pretty much the same Buggy Luffy fought early on in the series, at least in terms of power.
** And during the timeskip, [[spoiler: he became a Warlord of the Sea]].
** Also subverted as aside from gaining more powerful allies and inventing his muggy ball, he's shown no signs of improvement since the beginning of the series.
* GagNose: It's his real nose. [[BerserkButton And for your own sake, you better not bring that up.]]
* GenreSavvy: Knows that doing something like killing Ace in an attempt to create a reputation for his crew would earn the wrath of Whitebeard, ergo, he knows that it's a VERY bad idea.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Separating one's body? What the hell kind of power is that? Oh wait, did you just take a slash from the world's strongest swordsman and just harmlessly detach and reform part of your body? Yeah, not too shabby.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Shanks's interpretation of their relationship, which, to be honest, is more or less true. Buggy's in complete denial over it and sees Shanks as a SitcomArchNemesis, which is why their relationship is identified as VitriolicBestBuds.
* {{Irony}}: The main reason why he didn't join Shanks' crew back when they were still teens is because he didn't think Shanks could make it as a pirate due to his personality. Fast forward to the present day and Shanks is one of the four most powerful pirates in the world, while Buggy is raiding small towns in East Blue, the weakest sea.
** Buggy was a very good diver before he ate a Devil Fruit.
* KidHeroAllGrownUp: Along with Shanks, he was a cabin boy on Gol D. Roger's ship.
* KnifeNut: His WeaponOfChoice, though [[AnAxeToGrind battle-axes]], flintlock pistols, and [[KatanasAreJustBetter katanas]] will do in a pinch.
* LaughablyEvil: Hey, what do you expect from someone nicknamed "The Clown"?
* TheLoad: Some characters have theorized that he was this while on Gold Roger's crew.
* MagneticHero: Or Magnetic Villain in any case. While Luffy has a natural talent to attract people and making them help him out of sheer will, Buggy is good at leading them by his cunning and luck, at least according to Jinbe.
* MadeOfIron: Gets stuck by lightning but claims to have 'laughed it off'.
* ManipulativeBastard: He's definitely become one of those as of the end of the Whitebeard War Saga.
* MemeticBadass: Buggy is an odd in-universe example of this being done unintentionally. Because he was on Gold Roger's crew, used to be Shanks's partner, and was accused of being one of the masterminds behind the Impel Down prison break, the Marines see him as a very viable threat while the freed Impel Down inmates decide to follow him, both groups thinking he's much stronger than he actually is. Every single thing he does after this is somehow taken by his new crew as further evidence of his greatness.
** [[spoiler: This has gone so far in universe that, in his last sighting before the time skip, he received a letter from the World Government that offered him a position as a Warlord.]]
* MonsterClown: Despite his appearance and Devil Fruit powers, he's mostly not.
* NeckLift: Not only can he do this ([[BadBoss to a mook, at any rate]]), his power lets him do it remotely (a la Darth Vader).
* NoBadassToHisValet: Buggy is literally the only person alive who doesn't have any reverence or fear of Shanks. That's because despite their huge gap in abilities, their relationship as VitriolicBestBuds back when they were young transcends that. Buggy doesn't give a damn about Shanks being one of the Four Emperors; all he cares about is the fact that Shanks is (in his eyes) the reason why Buggy ''has'' devil fruit powers, and thus can never swim again (and he was an excellent swimmer to boot), and was unable to get the treasure he wanted all those years ago by ''selling'' the devil fruit he ate. Shanks in turn outright ''welcomes'' this, due to his NiceGuy personality and his interpretation of their relationship as HeterosexualLifePartners.
** Perhaps justified in that because of the fruit he ate, Buggy would be mostly immune to Shanks's swordsmanship. Then again, considering that Mihawk was ''still'' able to curb-stomp him despite his swordsmanship being completely ineffective against Buggy, and the fact that Shanks is a master of haki on top of being a master swordsman, it's more likely that Buggy's familiarity with Shanks, and his humorous rage over the aforementioned incident with his devil fruit renders him completely oblivious to the obvious power difference between them more than anything else.
* NotSoDifferent: While he hates Shanks, they do share some personality quirks, such as their love for partying.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Who would have guessed that the comic villain in the beginning of the series would have made it halfway through the Grand Line? Also, he and his crew were the first villains to actually overcome the previously-unstoppable Luffy in their second encounter, and would have killed him if not for some DivineIntervention.
** His Devil Fruit ability has been shown to be one of the best when it comes to swordsmen, as it essentially makes him NighInvulnerable when dealing with them. Even ''[[PersonOfMassDestruction Mihawk]]'' can't hurt him with his sword. It doesn't stop him from easily curb-stomping Buggy when he tries to fight back, but hey, it's still pretty impressive.
** Hell, he even [[spoiler: became a Warlord of the Sea during the timeskip]].
* ObfuscatingStupidity: He may seem bumbling, incompetent, and just a general blowhard (and he ''is''), but he also made his way across an incredibly dangerous stretch of ocean just fine, has a Devil Fruit that leaves swordsmen helpless against him, ''and managed to hide that fact when he got taken to Impel Down,'' making him the ''only'' Devil Fruit user in the Level One prison population who isn't locked down with Seastone shackles. Yeah, if he was as incompetent as he appears, he would have been long dead.
** He also smuggled in incredibly powerful bombs. [[UnderestimatingBadassery Marines really took him lightly.]]
** And then he breaks out of Impel Down and gains a super-powerful crew by hiding behind pirates stronger than him, loudly taking credit for their work, and massive helpings of sheer dumb luck. Which may provide an alternate explanation for how he made it this far.
*** He's also fairly competent with explosives, which means he probably knows something of chemistry.
** According to Oda, he has the potential to become one of the most powerful men of the OnePiece world. He's just too lazy to train himself. Yet.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Unlike other pirates who aim to attain power of fulfill their dreams, Buggy's primarily a buccaneer due to his love for treasure and has little love for anything else besides partying and (occasionally) his crew.
* OxymoronicBeing: He's a man who dresses like a clown and calls himself one, but despises comments made about his clown-like nose. Though he employs blades in combat and his powers revolve around him being immune to them, his true worth lies in his proficiency with explosives. He's a StarterVillain who actually [[spoiler:served in one of the most infamous pirate crews in history]] during his youth and is now the leader of a group of people who are vastly stronger than him.
%%* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Shanks and blue to Luffy.
* ShootYourMate: He tries to get Nami, who had claimed to be joining his crew, to kill Luffy with an explosive cannonball at point-blank range.
* SuperDrowningSkills: Devil Fruit user, so natch. Ironically, he used to be an exceptional swimmer before he ate his Devil Fruit. In a testament to how much Buggy is crippled by his own cynicism and cowardice, he is pretty much the ''only'' Fruit user in the entire series who complains about his weakness and doesn't feel that it's worth the power. Buggy is the sort who, when given lemons, would demand an orange instead of making lemonade.
* TookALevelInBadass: He's certainly grown a level or two since his first appearance. Most noticeably, he's upgraded his "Buggy balls" -- cannon balls capable of obliterating a city block -- to "Muggy Balls" -- mothball-sized grenades with comparative power. The only problem is he's taken maybe a level or two in badass while everyone else has taken ''twenty''.
* TookALevelInKindness: Well, at least as far as his crew goes. In his first appearance he was a BadBoss who was not above abusing/killing members of his crew for petty reasons. After losing to Luffy/Nami, he ends up spending a cover arc (expanded on in the anime) trying to recover his body and find his crew (who believed him to be dead). He eventually does reunite with them (saving their lives in the process) and seems to be much less abusive toward them afterwards. He's still a JerkAss to everybody else though.
* VillainousHarlequin: Pretty much his entire motif.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Shanks, sort of. He really hates that guy's guts, but at this point the difference in power between the two is such that he can't really do anything about it, so they end up looking something like this. It's also may be because Buggy is in complete denial of their relationship while Shanks interprets it as them being HeterosexualLifePartners.
** The Marines definitely believe they are this, since they are convinced that because he and Shanks shared a history in Gold Roger's crew and Shanks became one of the Four Emperors, that Buggy must be playing AlmightyJanitor. Needless to say, this may end up bringing far more attention than he initially wanted...
*** While he initially didn't want to draw attention to himself, after getting a hoard of [[BadassArmy powerful criminals]] to follow him he begins to "dream a little higher" and tries to become one of the biggest threats in the manga.
** He's starting to gravitate towards this with Luffy, starting from their time in Impel Down. He even saved Luffy's life, along with Jinbe's (albeit reluctantly and unintentionally) from Akainu in the Whitebeard War.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: Whenever he's angry in the 4Kids dub.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Considering the rest of him, however, it doesn't really stand out.
** WordOfGod says that the blue tassels coming out the sides of Buggy's hat are also his hair. In other words, for the entire series prior to Impel Down, [[RealMenWearPink he's wearing pigtails]].

Captain Kuro, also known as "Kuro of the Thousand Plans", is the captain of the Black Cat pirates of East Blue. He is cold and cunning, known for coming up with elaborate plans that never failed. His fighting skills are just as deadly as his mind, as he can move silently at incredible speeds to slaughter people in the blink of an eye. Yet despite all of this, he eventually tired of the pirate life, setting up schemes for his crewmates, and of constantly being hunted down by the Marines. So he hypnotized a crew member into believing he was Kuro and allowed him to be executed in his place stopping the Marine hunt and allowing him to leave his crew.

He has not been seen since his defeat by Luffy; in the Anime he got a cameo when he is informed of Luffy's first bounty.

His former bounty was 16,000,000 Berries.

* AdjustingYourGlasses: Rather conspicuously, he pushes them up with the heels of his hands, instantly revealing to Jango that he's still in practice--you can't push up your glasses with your fingers when you have WolverineClaws, after all...
* ArcVillain: Of Usopp's introduction arc.
* BadassBookworm: One of the smartest people in East Blue.
* BadassInANiceSuit: Apart from a design on his suit that apparently represents some feces (actually a snake), he's dressed rather well.
* BadBoss: When his plans started to fail, he threatened to kill his crew if they didn't hurry up, and reveals later that he had always planned to kill them all once the plan was complete to keep his identity safe. He even indiscriminately cut them down during one of his attacks, and dialogue from some of his crew members indicate that this tendency was not new.
* BreakingSpeech: He gives one to Kaya about how over the years he hated serving and taking care of her, and that it was all to get his hands on her fortune.
* TheButlerDidIt: Quite literally.
* FakingTheDead: He left his crew by hypnotizing an underling into believing that he was Kuro and let him be captured by the Marines.
* FlashStep: ''Shakushi'' is as fast as [=CP9=]'s ''Soru'', but is an imperfect form; unlike them, he can't see where he's going. Not that he cares if everything and everyone in his way dies...
* FourEyesZeroSoul: He really has no love for his supposed master and was only using her as a long-term retirement plan.
* FragileSpeedster: He's as fast as any Soru user, but one good punch will knock him over.
* GlassCannon: [[StarterVillain He's nowhere near as strong]] as the villains Luffy faces later on, but you've gotta admit, he had considerable killing power, wiping out most his mooks and crushing rocks with swords. But, once Luffy catches him, the fight's over in no time.
* IronicHell: All of his plans were an effort to escape a life of piracy. Guess what Luffy sent him back to.
* {{Irony}}: His ultimate goal was to abandon his life as a pirate and live peacefully, something he had already gained when he became a butler.
** Also, he prides himself on being a masterful [[TheChessmaster planner and manipulator]] but his ultimate attack is using SuperSpeed to kill everything around him without the slightest hint of control.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: One katana isn't enough. Try ''ten'', one on each gloved finger.
* KickTheDog: Breaks the glasses Kaya gave to him as a gift shortly before almost killing Merry. He also tells her that he hated all the time he spent with her.
* LeaveNoWitnesses: Was going to kill his crew just to make sure that there wouldn't be anyone left who knew he was still alive.
* ManipulativeBastard: Towards Kaya, whom he pretended to be a father figure to.
* ObviouslyEvil: He wears all black, has ScaryShinyGlasses, and was an arrogant JerkAss towards Usopp. And that was ''before'' TheReveal.
* TheFarmerAndTheViper: Kaya's family saved his life and gave him a house. His thanks was an EvilPlan to kill her and take her fortune.
* ScaryShinyGlasses: Underneath the moonlight, as he tells about how it brings out the animal in him...
* SmugSnake: His plans "that could not fail" not only failed, but got him exactly what he ''didn't'' want in the end; he's a wanted pirate again.
* TheSociopath: Exceedingly self-centered, views his crew as expendable, views people in general as pawns to be manipulated to suit his own ends, and unbelievably cruel.
* UnstoppableRage: Automatically enters a state of unreasoning homicidal fury during [[{{Lunacy}} a crescent moon]]. When this happens, ''no one'' is safe, but when you consider how much regard he has for his crew's lives, this isn't really much of a change to begin with.
* UpperClassTwit: Gives off this impression, as he won't give Usopp or the Straw Hats the time of day.
* VillainousBreakdown: Despite his collected and smug behavior through almost all of the arc, Kuro gets ''completely desperate'' when Luffy's victory becomes obvious, shouting hysterically how his [[ThisCannotBe plans simply cannot fail]].
* WolverineClaws: His gloves have katanas on each of the fingers.
* WorfBarrage: He flew into a berserk rage and attempted to kill everyone in sight. All he managed to do was butcher most of his crew and wound up getting his ass kicked by Luffy.
* WouldHurtAChild: Was totally prepared to kill Kaya; when told that she would have just given him the money, he was still hell-bent on killing her just so he could feel like he had accomplished something.

[[folder:"Foul Play" Don Krieg]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Don_Krieg_tv_tropes.png
-->"I'm the world's strongest man, with the best equipment! That, my boy, is military might!"
->Voiced by: Creator/FumihikoTachiki (JP), Marc Thompson (EN, 4Kids), Andy Mullins (EN, Funi)

Don Krieg is the head of the Pirate Armada, a fleet of fifty battleships that lurked within the East Blue. Krieg himself is well known for his trickery and underhanded tactics, and is supremely confident in the weapons of his overwhelming arsenal.

His bounty is 17,000,000 Berries.

* AintTooProudToBeg: It's an act he puts on.
* ArcVillain: Of Sanji's introduction arc.
* BadBoss: He's not above killing members of his crew on the spot if they disagree with him. Even Gin gets this treatment when he can't bring himself to kill Sanji and suggests withdrawing.
* BigBadWannabe: He fancies himself a Warlord-level threat and is convinced that his fleet is more than enough to allow him to wipe out anything that might oppose him. On a less-dangerous stretch of ocean, this ''might'' be true. On the Grand Line, he is completely outclassed, and his encounter with an actual Warlord proves how utterly wrong he was. If Mihawk hadn't regarded him as a mere annoyance or had taken him up on his challenges to fight, he would have been a dead man.
* BladeOnAStick: His most dreaded weapon is a giant spear that releases an explosion when swung with sufficient force.
* BlingBlingBang: His Wootz steel armor is gilded gold.
* {{Bowdlerize}}: The infamous [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuOIKGD5_r0 "poison suction cups"]] in the 4Kids dub.
* CallingYourAttacks: One of the few characters in ''One Piece'' who does not. Considering he is known for sneak attacks and deception, this is probably meant to be a character note.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: When you can swing a weapon that weighs a ton with only one arm ''with ease...'' yeah, he definitely has this.
* CombatPragmatist: He is an avid practitioner of this trope, believing that nothing is too dirty a trick if victory is an option.
* {{Determinator}}: Admit it; you did ''not'' expect Krieg to still be standing after the beating Luffy gave him. And yet, he did.
** Also earlier when he shot at ''Dracule Mihawk'', as in the guy who annihilated his entire fleet by himself, and sliced his main ship in half, out of boredom, and had a "[[CurbStompBattle swordfight]]" with "Pirate Hunter" Zoro, which the latter lost without even getting a hit in. Then again, considering Mihawk was just about to leave without so much as an aside glance at Krieg, this borders TooDumbToLive.
** Krieg's crew seems to even think he wasn't even conscious during the former example. ''Really.''
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Invoked on him. His crew was upset to see him punishing Gin after all his efforts for the crew.
* GratuitousGerman: ''Krieg'' means "war". This then comes off as a MeaningfulName, given his obvious fixation with weaponry and sheer military might.
* HotbloodedSideburns: He has a very short temper.
* HyperspaceArsenal: Seriously, his suit of armor's got ''way'' too many weapons to work. It has several automatic machine guns, a [[FireBreathingWeapon flamethrower]], a net shooter, a [[EpicFlail flail]], bombs, a [[GatlingGood Gatling gun]] mounted in a shield, a [[DeadlyGas poison gas launcher]] in the same shield, the shoulder pads can become a spear...
** And that Gatling gun doesn't fire bullets; it fires spikes.
* ISurrenderSuckers: Said to be a tactic of his.
* {{Jerkass}}: Honestly the nicest thing that can be said about him.
* KickTheDog: When Gin decides to show mercy to Zeff, Krieg poisons him.
* MoreDakka: He has a total of ''14 gun barrels'' on his person.
* OverNineThousand: His unused cyborg form was ''literally'' called Don Krieg 9000.
* PoweredArmor: A borderline case, at the very least.
* SmallNameBigEgo: So much so that he got his ass thoroughly kicked by Mihawk and ''still'' thinks he's the greatest thing ever.
** His overconfidence likely comes from him having the strongest fleet on the East Blue. Too bad he doesn't realize on the Grand Line he's target practice.
* SoreLoser: Take some popcorn, sit down, and admire his hammy [[VillainousBreakdown rant]] against Luffy.
* SmugSnake: He thinks he's some sort of military paragon; in reality, he's little more than a bully who gets by with his reputation and falls flat versus anyone who actually decides to call his bluff.
* TechnicolorToxin: His [=MH5=] poison gas is white.
* TooDumbToLive: Tried to pick a fight with Hawkeye Mihawk despite seeing how he easily destroyed a galleon with only his sword. If that weren't enough, he tried to attack him when Mihawk decided to leave. Should count himself lucky Mihawk just didn't want to bother wasting his time on him or Krieg would've been killed right then and there.
* TryingToCatchMeFightingDirty: It's right there in his nickname!
* UngratefulBastard: His reaction to being given the food he needs to stave off imminent starvation? Punch out the specific cook that gave it to him. ''For absolutely no reason.'' '''After he vowed specifically that he wouldn't cause any trouble once he got it.'''
* WorldsStrongestMan: Declares himself this. He is tough, [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower as mentioned above]], but he's not even remotely close to this. The real title keeper was Whitebeard [[spoiler: till his death]].
* ZergRush: His crew's main tactic. Luffy calls him out on it too.

[[folder:Arlong "the Saw"]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Arlong_pg_2383.png
-->"Trying to oppose the Fishmen is like going against nature itself!"
->Voiced by: Creator/JurotaKosugi (JP), David Willis (EN, 4Kids), Chris Rager (EN, Funi)

Arlong "The Saw" is a Sawshark Fishman (a species of [[FishPeople humanoid fish]]) who is a [[FantasticRacism huge racist]] towards humans. At a point in the past, he was a member of the Sun Pirates, but after their captain Jinbe became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he broke off, taking his former crew with him, and searched for easy targets in the relatively tame East Blue. There, he and his crew enslaved Nami's home island and forced her to work for them as a cartographer, after killing her surrogate mother Bellemere. With her cartography skills and his connections with the Marines allowing him to operate under the radar, Arlong's plan was to turn the East Blue into his own personal empire. He was later revealed to be Madame Sharley's brother.

Arlong and the rest of his crew are currently imprisoned. Hachi was the only one to escape.

Prior to his capture, his bounty was 20,000,000 Berries.

* ArcVillain: Gets more significance later on (namely, Nami and Jinbe's backstories), but he only appeared as the villain for one arc.
* BenevolentBoss: As horrible as he is to humans, he genuinely cares for his crew.
* {{BFS}}: His Kiribachi saw/sword is about as big as he is, complete with a SerratedBladeOfPain
* BiggerBad: In some aspects, he was this for the Fishman Island Arc, with his beliefs being a major influence on Jones' own ideologies and actions.
* BloodKnight: During his days in the Sun Pirates, he was constantly remarked for his excessive brutality towards the humans.
* ChekhovsGunman: Turns out that his ambition becomes this in the worst possible way -- There's an entire Fishman crew that agrees with his world view in Fishman Island, and they're shaping up to be fine villains themselves. [[spoiler: At least, until they were beaten by Luffy and the Straw Hats and suffer a KarmicTransformation...]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler: After his captains' death of refusing a blood transfusion out of his sheer self-loathing inner hated of humanity]], Arlong decided to make every human's lives, a living hell, starting with a village that had nothing to do with the racial discrimination ForTheEvulz and out of spite.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: At least in his backstory in regards to [[spoiler:Jinbe's brutality towards humans.]] Needless to say, he lost those standards as time passed, ironically while [[spoiler:''Jinbe'' softened up!]]
** He does keep the standards related to not harming other fishmen, though.
** He seemed to have full intention of keeping his deal with Nami until his crew talked him out of it.
* EvilLaugh: Shaaaahahaha.
* ExactWords: Nami makes a DealWithTheDevil with him to serve as his cartographer until such time as she can scrape together 100 million Berries. [[LoopholeAbuse He never said he wouldn't tell the Marines where her stash was when she was only 7 million away]].
* FaceHeelTurn: He does this to Nami when he decides to double-cross her.
* FantasticRacism: He and his crew believe Fishmen to be the "lords of all creation", and that humans are completely inferior.
%%* FauxAffablyEvil
* FreudianExcuse: An interesting case while Arlong lived out his childhood in the worse parts of Fishman Island. It's never stated that he ever went to the surface; in fact, out of all his brothers, Arlong was the one who grew up to be a short-tempered trouble maker who wrecked havoc and caused trouble for his own people, [[spoiler:especially Otohime, both before and after he joined the Sun Pirates and left the Sun Pirates. Also while his own people suffered [[FantasticRacism much discrimination]], and were frequently kidnapped and sold as slaves, [[{{Irony}} most likely by one of Arlong's brothers, mind you]]. Arlong himself has never experienced this firsthand, he has only heard about it, and knows fishmen that were once slaves. Adding in with this, the one betrayal he had experienced because of humans was not racially motivated. And his sworn brother Fisher Tiger's death was due to him not accepting the blood of a human, which Fisher Tiger himself admitted was wrong, and blamed his own death on himself. Though that didn't stop Arlong from blaming humans anyway for not having fishman blood on a ship occupied by humans, even though there isn't any difference between fishmen/mermaid blood and a human's]]. Making the way how Arlong is currently his own doing.
** Arlong has actually seen the surface, in particular Sabaody Archipelago, with his three other childhood friends Hatchan, Kuroobi and Chew. He even modeled his base of operations: Arlong Park in Cocoyashi Island; on Sabaody Park. It's implied a part of him wanted to be like the humans on the surface. This obviously changed during his time with the Sun Pirates, seeing fellow fishmen enslaved and the battles with the Marines, changing him [[HatesEveryoneEqually no more unpleasant towards humans than towards his own people]], to a [[FantasticRacism Fishman supremacist]] waging a "holy war" towards humans.
*** Seeing as how Hatchan stated that Arlong was envious of human life even though he hated humans, Arlong's racism may stem just as much from that as from the persecution of his people. It's easy to view his racist beliefs as bitter rationalizations meant to compensate for his desire of a lifestyle he could never have because of his race. The fact that he modeled his Arlong Park headquarters after the Sabaody Park shows that he still harbored that admiration/envy of human life.
* FishPeople: He and his crew and the first intelligent non humans to appear in the series.
* AFatherToHisMen: Despite being a GeneralRipper to humans, he is as attached to his TrueCompanions as Luffy is to his own, thus his ONLY PetTheDog moment. Because of that, he takes at least four different levels of UnstoppableRage, each for his three defeated EliteMooks and one when Luffy uses a fallen Mook as a shield to his bite attack.
* TheFundamentalist: [[spoiler:He once told a young Hody Jones that a "holy war" is being waged between the fishmen and humans]].
* HiddenDepths: Albeit subtle, it was clear that Arlong had been changing through Nami. He gave her the things that the only other human he had any experience with wanted to and he treated her as an equal to his own men, even if he did do some bastardly things to keep her in his crew. While It might not be enough to make him anything other than a bigot, it at least showed that he wasn't completely the monster he seemed upon first introduction.
* IcyBlueEyes: Is shown to have these when we see his eyes up close.
* KickTheDog: A MAJOR defining element of his character. It's telling when his cruelty still stands out among all the villains that Luffy has faced after all these years.
* KillMeNowOrForeverStayYourHand: [[spoiler:After Arlong is released from prison, thanks to Jinbe becoming a Warlord, an unimpressed Arlong decides to break away from the Sunny Pirates and lead his own crew again, promising to spread the hatred of the Fishmen for humans wherever he goes, and goads Jinbe to kill him where he stands if he has a problem with it. Jinbe is so enraged that Tiger's last wishes were going to waste that he nearly does by savagely beating him, [[DoubleSubversion but he stops at the last moment]], as he could never could bring himself to kill his own "brother"]].
* LeeroyJenkins[=/=]TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:Him charging right back to the Island where Fisher Tiger was killed, and easily dealt with by Kizaru]].
* LightningBruiser: Only under water, where he could swim at fast speeds.
* LoanShark: A ''literal'' example of this trope.
** His name is also a pun, "Ahlong" means loan shark.
* MakingASplash: Due to his strength, [[FingerPokeOfDoom he can throw water drops with the force of a shotgun blast]].
* ManipulativeBastard: When you can make a little girl work for you willingly after killing her mother right in front of her, you definitely qualify for this.
* MoralityChain: [[spoiler:Fisher Tiger]].
** Arlong lampshades it: [[spoiler:"If the boss wasn't here, who knows what I'd have done."]]
*** [[spoiler: It's for this reason he went from despising everyone to treating his fellow fishmen as his TrueCompanions. He's still a monster to all humans without money to bribe him, but this is a '''huge''' step above what he was before and makes him a much better person than his successor, Hody Jones, who not only is worse in his methods, but lacked the one redeeming quality of his commander.]]
* PetTheDog[=/=]BigDamnHeroes: In a anime-only Flashback he [[spoiler: saves Hody's friends from some human kidnappers.]]
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: A horrifically brutal and sadistic racist and Fishman supremacist who sees nothing wrong with enslaving entire human villages and murdering anyone who doesn't pay absurdly high taxes.
* RedOniBlueOni: [[spoiler:With Jinbe. Both of them were still pretty violent in the original Sun Pirates crew]].
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: He bribes marines to keep his operations in the East Blue low-profile, and believes that money is the lifeblood of the world.
** This is also, among a few other things, one thing that sets him apart from Hody Jones: Arlong, while thinking that humans are worthless scums, only uses his racist motive for getting money; Hody goes to the next level and become an actual Fishman supremacist who will kill his own kin if they happen to help humans.
* SharkMan: A Sawshark type
* [[spoiler:SiblingYinYang: With his sister, Madame Sharley.]]
* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: When Koala left for her village, he broke the Sun Pirates' mood by saying that she would grow to hate fishmen as any other human.
* SinisterSchnoz: He is a sawshark fishman, after all. It's weaponized, too.
* SlasherSmile: Being a shark, it's kind of unavoidable.
* SuperStrength: As a Fishman, he was able to up-end a house very easily.
* TakeOverTheWorld: He's trying to take over all of East Blue and eventually the world.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Was this in the Sun Pirates. While there were some other unsavory characters in the group, he was always the first to suggest violent terrorism towards humans. He was even about to kill a slave just for being a human asking them to send her home.
* TrueCompanions: One of the few major villains that have been seen caring for his minions, giving a genuinely horrified apology to the mook he accidentally bites due to Luffy using him as a living shield.
* UnstoppableRage: This is one of his actual superhuman abilities. Although it proved to be not so unstoppable, in the end.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Considering he only keeps humans around that he could use, it is likely that after Nami had drawn the map of the entire world; it is likely what Arlong would've done eventually before Luffy came and beat him since he would have no use for her as she was only kept for her talent.

[[folder:"Tin-Plate" Wapol]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Wapol_TV_Tropes.png
-->"There's no cure for stupidity? Are you trying to imply that I'm an idiot?!"

->Voiced by: Creator/BinShimada (JP), Matt Hoverman (EN, 4Kids), Andy Mullins (EN, Funi)

Former king of Drum Island who ascended to his position after his father's death. Unlike his benevolent father, Wapol was a [[RoyalBrat self absorbed jerk]] of a king, abusing the citizens of the island for his own profit.

His Devil Fruit, the Munch-Munch Fruit (''Baku Baku no Mi''), allows him to [[ExtremeOmnivore eat anything]] he desires without ill effect. He is able to alter himself or create new objects from the materials consumed, such as making a cannon in his mouth or creating children's toys.

Two years later, he's again king of the [[IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace Evil Black Drum Kingdom.]]

* AccentAdaptation: He has a Russian accent in the [[FourKidsEntertainment 4kids dub]] dub provided by Matt Hoverman.
* AdiposeRex: He's a King, and his powers revolve entirely around eating anything and everything in sight, so his girth makes him a shoe-in for this.
** [[spoiler: Subverted when he uses his powers to give himself liposuction... somehow]]
* AnimalMotifs: The hippo; not only does he wear the skin of a "White Walky", a furry hippo-like creature that inhabits Drum Island, but his submarine and Tin Tyrant Cannon are shaped like hippos as well. During his rise to wealth as a toymaker, almost all the "stages" of his toyshop (stand to store to factory) also have the hippo motif in them. And to top it all off, he tends to use the word "kaba" (Japanese for hippo) in place of {{Baka}}.
* ArchEnemy: To Chopper. Luffy treats him as more of a nuisance than anything else.
* ArcVillain: While he was one of Luffy's weakest enemies, especially after Arlong who put up a fight, he is an ArchEnemy to all of Drum Kingdom, especially Chopper for laughing at Hiluluk's death, unfortunately he never has a chance to pay him back. At least not yet anyway.
** [[spoiler: He does give him a beat down in the 9th movie]]
* AristocratsAreEvil: Abuses and extorts the people and attempts to execute a doctor trying to help the kingdom.
* ArmCannon: Can turn his arms into cannons. He can make one from his tongue too!
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: It's explicitly stated the only reason the people of Drum Island couldn't revolt against his terrible policies was because of his powers.
* BecomeYourWeapon: He can merge himself with a weapon after eating said weapon. This can result in him having cannons in lieu of hands and tongue. He also tries to go over the top by devouring the whole armory of his castle, but thankfully Nami stole the key from him in time.
* CannibalismSuperpower: He doesn't get abilities from people, just from inanimate objects like firearms.
** [[spoiler:Except in the AlternateContinuity 9th movie, when he devours his brother Mushul to become a {{Fusion|Dance}} with both their powers]].
* CharacterDevelopment: Starts out as a selfish prince, now he's the owner of a big toy corporation with a Ms. Universe. [[spoiler:He reappeared after the TimeSkip as a tyrannical king, so no, [[SubvertedTrope he didn't learn much]].]]
* CurbStompBattle: What he proved to be for Luffy, getting beaten in a single episode. It would be Luffy's easiest boss battle for quite some time.
* CutLexLuthorACheck: After his exile, he goes through a stint of homelessness before using his powers to make toys and makes far more money than he did as a king.
* EvilIsPetty: As shown best in a flashback--as revenge for being chewed out for his callousness by her father, Wapol "accidentally" slapped Vivi at a conference (who was ''5 years old at the most''). Bad enough on its own, worse in that it could have resulted in war between their countries.
* EvilLaugh: Maaahahahaha.
* ExtremeOmnivore: Food, wood, steel, garbage, himself, it's all the same to him.
* FatBastard: Not as much as Nelson or Gecko Moria, but still.
* FatIdiot: He's also not too bright.
* FusionDance: He can do so to his top minions, [[spoiler:and with his own brother in the 9th movie.]] Subverted when Sanji points out Chessmarimo is just one of his minions standing on the other; only their clothes were fused.
* {{Gonk}}: Normally, but he can subvert it at will if the moment needs it.
* JerkAss: Exceptionally petty, even compared to other villains.
* KarmaHoudini: Though he is essentially exiled from his island, his toy company brought him more riches, adoration, and fame than his time as king. [[spoiler:He even got to become king of his own evil kingdom.]]
* LeanAndMean: [[ItRunsOnNonsensoleum He eats himself]] to fit through a doorway, and the result ends as a skinny and much better looking him. In both English dubs, he describes this form using the trope name verbatim.
* MoralityPet: In his cover-story, he befriends a little dog that he turns into a robot with his powers. [[spoiler:It's still with him even after he becomes a CorruptCorporateExecutive, suggesting that he might have just learned something after all]].
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: He shows up right at the beginning of the arc to ambush the Straw Hats, resulting in a ''very'' short battle that ends with Luffy sending him flying. While he's still not much of a threat when he comes back, he at least takes more than half an episode to get rid of this time.
* StartMyOwn: Basically what he ends up doing. He gets forcibly removed from his World Government-recognized Drum Kingdom, so he creates the World Government-recognized ''[[ColorCodedForYourConvenience Black]]'' Drum Kingdom.
* UglyGuyHotWife: He married Ms. Universe after his toy company popularity skyrocketed.
* VillainousGlutton: Given his Devil Fruit, he is of course this.
* WeCanRuleTogether: When Luffy has him trapped in his own castle's chimney and is about to send him blasting off, he panickedly started offering Luffy money, jewels, and even the title of vice-king. Naturally, it doesn't work.
* WouldHurtAChild: During one of the Reverie meetings, he slapped a then-5-year old Vivi just to get her father angry.

[[folder:"Mr. 3" Galdino]]

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Galdino_Mr__3_Doru_7127.jpg

->Voiced by: Creator/NobuyukiHiyama (JP), Tom Souhrada (EN, 4kids), Duncan Brannan (EN, Funi)

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 ate the Wax-Wax Fruit (''Doru Doru no Mi'') which allows him to create and control candle wax at will.

He faced the Straw Hats at Little Garden and got defeated, after which he then travelled to Alabasta to try and tell Mr. 0 about them, but got fed to a giant alligator.

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.
----
* ArcVillain: Of the Little Garden arc. He's not the only villain in said arc, but he's the main threat.
* {{BFS}}: Made one out of wax to pin Brogy's hand in place (only in the manga).
* ButtMonkey: 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.
* DemotedToExtra: 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 getting punished by Crocodile.
* DirtyCoward: He runs at the first sign of real danger, [[CowardlyLion despite his powers]].
* EnemyMine: With Luffy during the breakout.
* EvilGenius: Considered this amongst the Baroque Works Officer Agents.
* FlamingHair: Only when he wills it, thanks to his Devil Fruit power.
%%* FourEyesZeroSoul
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Turns out wax is really useful. It can become as hard as steel and can [[spoiler:block poison]].
* HeelFaceTurn: Well, at least not being as much of a prick as he was before.
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:Neutralizes and takes the place of one of the back-up executioners after Crocodile knocks out the originals. He also protects a seastone shackled Ace from being injured by Luffy's Gomu Gomu no fusen which was absorbing the force of Sengoku's giant punch, with his Candle Wall. He then made a replacement key for Ace's shackles after Kizaru broke the original. He did all this in honor of his former comrade Mr. 2, someone he had shown [[HeroicSacrifice almost nothing]] but disdain for up till that point.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: On Little Garden, Luffy uses the fire on his hair to light ablaze the wax sculpture encasing his friends.
* ImprobableHairStyle: It's in the shape of a "3". When using his powers it's on fire.
* InsufferableGenius: Yeah, he's smart. But he's also a total prick. Jailtime helps fix that.
* MadArtist: 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.
* MundaneUtility: One of the primary uses of his powers in later arcs is making keys out of his wax, which is ''damn'' useful considering how many people get locked up in Seastone handcuffs.
* PoweredArmor: His ''Candle Champion'', it even looks (and in the anime, sounds) like a [[HumongousMecha giant robot]].
* ShapingYourAttacks: Pretty much what he does with his wax powers, from shackles to swords to [[ItMakesSenseInContext giant cakes with jack-o'-lanterns on top]].
* SmallNameBigEgo: He thinks he can even take Mr 2's place in the Baroque Works. Crocodile reminded 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.
%%* SmugSnake
* SpotOfTea: Enjoys drinking tea.
* SquishyWizard: When Luffy finds him, he knocks him out in one punch.
* SupportPartyMember: His wax powers alone are not exactly useless, but they are far more useful when combined with other people.
* VillainTeamUp: With Buggy. It looks like he's even going to remain a permanent member of his crew post-Marineford.
* WaxMuseumMorgue: His ''Giant Candle Service Set'' does this to its victims.
* WeakButSkilled: As stated by Crocodile, Mr. 3 is weaker than Mr. 4. However, he has a higher rank because of his mind, and his plot came very close to killing most of the Straw Hats and the giants on Little Garden.
* WeaksauceWeakness: His wax, that can become as hard as steel? Useless against fire. To the point where he can't do anything in areas with above-average temperatures.

->"Next... Will you try cutting diamond...?"
->Voiced by: Creator/TetsuInada (JP), Scottie Ray (EN 4Kids), Brett Weaver (EN, Funi)

The highest ranking Baroque Works officer (excluding Mr. 0). He is cold and collected and is a former bounty hunter and assassin. He engaged in "Operation Utopia" and fought against Zoro, where he was defeated. He ate the Dice-Dice Fruit (''Supa Supa no Mi'') which allows him to turn any part of his body into a steel blade.

He was then sent to Impel Down, where he joined up with Crocodile to assist in a breakout and went to Marineford and finally left with Crocodile.
----
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: He can casually slice ''buildings'' to pieces with a swing of his arms. Not to mention he claims he can cut things on the '''atomic level'''.
%%* AmbiguouslyBrown
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Due to his powers, he thinks no swordsman can beat him.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: "Daz Bonez" is a pretty badass name indeed.
* {{Badass}}: Whoo boy.
%%* BaldOfAwesome
%%* BaldOfEvil
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: And forearms, and fingers, and shins, and feet.
* TheDragon: To Crocodile, after Miss All-Sunday's HeelFaceTurn.
* CurbStompBattle: Lasts one panel against Mihawk at Marineford.
* EvilCounterpart: To Zoro, they both are deadly warriors that are defined by their serious and grim nature, were former bounty hunters that currently possess UndyingLoyalty towards a slightly more powerful individual with dreams of becoming the Pirate King and use blades to kill people, they also have confirmed kills and aren't good for much other than murder. 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.
* ExtraOreDinary: The Dice-Dice Fruit creates steel blades.
* HiddenDepths: His innermost desire was/is to become a Superhero.
* InsistentTerminology: Despite his powers, he does not identify himself as a Swordsman.
* LeanAndMean: He's quite tall and has very long limbs. He's actually very muscular, though.
* MadeOfIron: Literally (or rather steel), due to a side effect of the Devil Fruit.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Daz ''Bones''
%%* PsychoForHire
* RazorWind: Seems to be the case, considering he doesn't have to touch the the thing he wants to cut. Though you can't see said wind.
* ScarsAreForever: [[spoiler:Got one on his eye.]]
%%* ScaryBlackMan
* StealthPun: 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 [[Comicbook/{{Superman}} Man of Steel]]. A "Supaman", if you will...
* TheStoic: He never jokes around, and remains serious and calm under any and all circumstances.
* ThisIsADrill: His ''Spiral Hollow'' is essentially this, by making round blades on his forearms and spinning them rapidly.
* ThemeNaming: He (along with his parter, Miss Doublefinger) has a "sharpness" theme, particularly his attacks are a pun on "sparking", and ironically "super-" (''supa'').
* TattooedCrook: Has the kanji for "1" tattooed on his chest.
* UndyingLoyalty: Towards Crocodile. He got pissed when Zoro talked badly about him, [[spoiler: 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 this was protecting Luffy from Hawkeye. And now he went to the New World with him.]]
* UnfortunateName: "Jazz Boner" in the German subs 'n' dubs.
* WouldHurtAChild: When a little boy finds out that Mr. 2 disguised himself as Cobra, Bones decides to beat the boy to the point where he can't even talk.
* TheWorfEffect: Against Zoro. After controlling the fight for its majority, when Zoro discovers how to hear the "breath" of all things, Bones gets taken out in a single hit. [[spoiler:When he goes up against Mihawk, who already knows how to cut steel, he's taken down almost immediately]].

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/op_bellamy_timeskip.png
-->"The Lost city of Gold!? The Emerald city!? The great Treasure of "One Piece"!? The fools who go looking for their "dream treasure" cannot notice what's in front of them! In this era of the sea, the ones that do not have real strength... are the ones that are killed by their own imaginations!"

->Voiced by: Creator/WataruTakagi (JP), Creator/AndrewRannells (EN, 4Kids), Creator/JustinCook (EN, Funi)

A local pirate who's part of Doflamingo's Pirates, nominally filling in as the crew captain, given that Doflamingo seemed rather uninterested in leading his crew. Looking for information on Skypiea, Luffy runs into Bellamy while in Jaya. Extremly arrogant, he believes that there will come an era where pirates give up on having, as well as pursuing their dreams, going after material treasure instead of traveling the sea for the adventure of it. Bellamy mocks anyone who states otherwise and is very quick to start a fight. However, it's this mindset that ultimately proves to be his downfall. He ate the Spring-Spring/Boing-Boing Fruit (''Bane Bane no Mi'') which allows him to transform his legs into springs, making him a BouncingBattler with [[InASingleBound incredible jumping power]].

Chapter 704 reveals him to be, against all fan expectations, alive and well, and still under the employment of Doflamingo.

His bounty is 55,000,000 Berries. Post-timeskip, it has risen to 195,000,000 Berries.

* AlasPoorVillain: Post-Timeskip [[spoiler: Bellamy is basically rejected by his Idol, who sends someone to kill him, and when Bellamy survives Doflamingo personally curbstomps him so hard that several chapters later he is STILL face-down on the ground, and looks utterly miserable. And then Doflamingo controlls him to fight Luffy.]]
* ArbitrarySkepticism: He's on the Grand Line, which frequently screws with physics and natural law so often that it's to be expected, yet doesn't believe in the possibility of ''an island in the sky''.
** [[spoiler:Not anymore; post-timeskip, he's actually ''been'' to said island in the sky, which changed his world-view considerably.]]
* ArcVillain: A relatively minor one, but still.
* BouncingBattler: His main style.
* BrokenPedestal: After overhearing [[spoiler: Diamante confirm that he was ordered to be killed. Bellamy starts breaking down that Doflamingo, the man he revered so much, thinks nothing of him.]]
* BrokenTears: [[spoiler:When he realizes that Dellinger was not kidding when he said that Doflamingo wants him dead, and later when he receives a physical and verbal beatdown from the man himself]].
* TheBusCameBack: A whopping ''401'' chapters later, surprising the entire audience.
* CardCarryingVillain: "You're mad that I stole gold from that old timer? I'm a ''pirate''!"
* CombatPragmatist: [[spoiler: Post-timeskip, he has no interest in fighting clean and has shown a knack for viciously maiming people, something best displayed in his fight with Abdullah and Jeet.]]
* CoolShades: He wears one after the TimeSkip, but only briefly.
* CurbStompBattle: By and far one of the most iconic moments of the series, when Luffy flat out lays him out with one hit. You can argue this would make him an AnticlimaxBoss. But really, for someone of his character, it was really all he needed.
** [[spoiler: And Luffy delivers one to him ''again'' during the final battle of Dressrosa, and in the exact same fashion, to boot (only this time Luffy used Haki because Bellamy used it too). Bellamy ''did'' get some hits in this time, but only because Luffy was reluctant to attack him; [[OneHitKill once he leaves him with no choice, however]]...]]
* DarkSkinnedBlond: His basic appearance.
* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:His thoughts to himself during his and Luffy's final battle reveal that he ''does'' recognize that following Doflamingo was the wrong choice; rather, he keeps attacking Luffy because he ''wants'' him to just kill him already, which he feels will bring him resolution. Needless to say, Luffy became ''extremely'' enraged at Doflamingo for driving him to this point.]]
* DontYouDarePityMe: [[spoiler:Yelled practically verbatim to Luffy when, freed from Doflamingo's control, he pushes himself to perform Spring Hopper, even when it's clear he could die if his body's pushed too far.]]
* FacePalmOfDoom: [[spoiler: First thing he's shown doing post-timeskip.]]
* GlassCannon: Capable of hitting like a truck, but he sure can't take much punishment.
** [[spoiler: LightningBruiser: After the timeskip.]]
* HarsherInHindSight: While raiding Cricket's home for his gold, Bellamy and his crew wrecked Going Merry as well, for good measure. [[spoiler:As it turns out in Water 7, it was this particular injury that sealed her fate and made it impossible to ever fix her]].
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler: Set up for a HeelFaceTurn throughout the Dressrosa Arc, but then [[DefiedTrope Defied]] during the final battle. After Doflamingo beats him to near death, mocks him, and [[PeoplePuppets forces him to fight Luffy against his will]], Luffy naturally tries to save him. But as soon as he's free from Mingo's control, he actually decides to fight Luffy on his ''own'' will, refusing to turn on his once beloved idol. Luffy reasons that Doflamingo is not worth fighting over, but Bellamy attacks him anyway. This marks one of the first times Luffy's MagneticHero tendencies didn't work.]]
** [[spoiler:It's also played with in the sense that Bellamy is still grateful to Luffy for still calling him a friend in spite of everything and for agreeing to fight him in the end. If it weren't for his principles and his pride not allowing him to turn against a man who was never deserving of his loyalty, there is no doubt he would have accepted Luffy's help. ]]
* HonorBeforeReason: [[spoiler:His reason that he's still fighting on behalf of Doflamingo despite being exposed to his atrocity multiple times is that he's so indebted to Doffy that he will not go against him.]]
* TheHyena: Duh.
* ILetYouWin: His first encounter with Luffy was this simply because Luffy had promised Nami not to fight (Especially over something so meaningless as a matter of opinion on dreams). However, when Bellamy attacked Cricket and his crew, he made a [[BerserkButton very big]] [[ItsPersonal mistake there]].
* {{Irony}}: He was introducted trying to pick a fight with Luffy, to which the latter ignored, until [[BerserkButton he involved a new friend he just met]]. [[spoiler:Having reappeared again in the Dresserosa Arc, his tune has changed, and near the arc's climax, he is forced to fight Luffy against his will, even tearfully apologizing when he successfully lands an attack at him]].
* {{Jerkass}}: Easily one of the more notable ones in the series, with his EstablishingCharacterMoment being stabbing Roshio the Executioner in the hand with a knife, then tossing him out the window, before killing him... ''[[DisproportionateRetribution Over a game of poker to which he states he cheated]]''. To make it worse, he wasn't even cheating in the first place.
** [[spoiler:Has mellowed out considerably after the timeskip, to the point where he actually tells Luffy he won't laugh at him anymore. He also says he doesn't hold a grudge against Luffy. And actually appears to be ''sad'' after Doflamingo assigns him the task of assassinating Luffy. Not scared because of Luffy still being stronger, but sad at the idea of killing somebody he's come to respect.]]
* KiManipulation: Capable of Armament Haki post-timeskip.
* LaserGuidedKarma: He gets beat down twice, by Luffy and then Doflamingo, and had it coming both times.
* ManiacTongue: He probably picked it up from Doflamingo.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: [[spoiler: Despite seeing his idol's true colors he refuses to turn against someone he has respected for so long]]
* MuggingTheMonster: Technically, it was the ''friend'' of the "monster" he mugged, but the end result was the same.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Bellamy is a pretty brutal, violent thug of a guy. [[spoiler: He then gets on the recieving end of one, twice. And then, post timeskip, it seems Bellamy has become even more brutal because he uses his spring abilities to break Abdullah and Jeet's spines.]]
* OvershadowedByAwesome: [[spoiler:Post-TimeSkip, his bounty tripled, he grew twice his original height, he's been to Skypeia and even brought back gold to Doflamingo, and seems to have knowledge of Haki. He was pegged to win at least Block B, and did amazingly well...until he ran into King Elizabello II, whose "King Punch" is believed to be strong enough to take down an Emperor, and is promptly defeated. He gets beaten to near-death by Dellinger, and later by Doflamingo himself, and finally by Luffy with a single punch, though the punishment by the previous two seemed to contributed to this]].
* PaperTiger: Bullies other pirates on the island of Jaya and has spring-based powers with enough concussive force to destroy buildings. Protagonist Monkey D. Luffy and his first mate Roronoa Zoro let themselves get beat up by him under the idea that he has not wronged them. Once he does, however, Luffy challenges him, and he [[spoiler:gets stopped cold with a single punch]].
* PutOnABus: This is what ''really'' happened to him, instead of being killed by Doflamingo like everyone in the fandom assumed ''years'' ago.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Bellamy pulls on off while fighting Luffy. [[CurbStompBattle Fat lot of good that did for him.]] And here's the Japanese version of it:
-->'''Bellamy''': Those guys are your FRIENDS!? [laughs] Oh I see. That old man and his monkeys are the same species as you! A pack of idiots who believe the lies of some 400-year-old ancestor! What City of Gold? What Sky Island? '''THE ERA OF DREAMS IS OVER! YOU'RE A DISGRACE OF A PIRATE!'''
** And here's the Funimation version:
-->'''Bellamy''': So you want the gold back, huh? Because Old Man Cricket's your friend? '''WAKE UP!''' He's nothing but a decrepit fool who spends all his time chasing after a 400 year old lie! But that's probably what you like about him, right? You like to call yourselves pirates, but you know nothing! There's no City of Gold! No island in the sky! Just oceans and ships and the men who sail them!
* RocketPunch: His "Spring Death Knock".
* SmallNameBigEgo: Fifty-five million wasn't worth much, even prior to the TimeSkip. [[spoiler:After the TimeSkip, he got over himself and became much more likable, to the point that he and Luffy actually ''respect'' each other.]]
* SmugSnake: Always gloating about how he's the "Big-time Rookie" with a 55 million belli bounty (Although that was ''nowhere'' near as high as the real big-time rookies; the Eleven Supernovas, with bounties over 100 million, and Luffy reaching that status already by the time he met him), and mocking Luffy about his dreams, before suggesting he doesn't even know how to fight. Boy was he wrong there...
** [[spoiler: After the timeskip, he at least seems to have become less of an arrogant dick.]]
* SpringCoil: His Devil Fruit essentially is this, [[spoiler:[[CurbStompBattle not that it helped against a man who beat a Warlord made of sand and leader of the first major villain organization in the series with just blood.]]]]
* TooDumbToLive: Alright, it's ''possible'' that Luffy and Zoro might've faked their bounties, but surely when one of them runs to back to town and ''[[SayMyName screams]]'' [[SayMyName for your name]], that might be your first clue that those bounties might be real, ask for forgiveness and just hand over the gold that you stole. This, apparently, doesn't occur to Bellamy, [[spoiler:and he gets laid out for it]].
** [[spoiler: When we see him again after the time skip he seems to have wised up ''considerably''. He is even the first person to see through Luffy's PaperThinDisguise.]]
** However, [[spoiler:when Dellinger lets it slip that Doflamingo intended to have him killed regardless of whether he assassinated Luffy or not, he personally heads off to the castle and confronts him about it, even after he received an asskicking from Dellinger himself. This goes as well as you'd expect, what's particularly bad is that Doflamingo is now literally [[PeoplePuppets stringing him along]] to fight for him when Luffy and Law confront him]].
* TookALevelInBadass: Amazingly, he did. For one, his bounty has [[spoiler: more than tripled since his encounter with Luffy. Also telling is that, in a gladiator tournament filled with New World-level combatants, he's one of the favorites to win the whole thing.]]
* TookALevelInKindness: Okay, he's still not a NiceGuy by any stretch of the imagination, but considering he's now showing open displays of respect and seems sad about his orders to kill [[WorthyOpponent Luffy]], he's definitely not the asshole he was before.
** [[spoiler:He's also upset that the idea of being forced to fight him, due to Doflamingo's powers]].
* {{Troll}}: Taunts Luffy about the possiblity that he did something to the Skypeians offscreen. But the cover pages have already showed that Skypeia is doing fine.
* UnexpectedCharacter: Safe to say that practically no one expected to see him again. Come Chapter 704 and guess who's there for the tournament?
* UndyingLoyalty: Deconstructed. [[spoiler:Much like Gin, Bellamy is devoted to a man who is unworthy of his loyalty. ''Unlike'' Gin, his principles and his pride prevent him from turning against the idol he has respected and admired for so long, in spite of how terribly treated he is]].
* WalkingSpoiler: Due to [[spoiler: being confirmed as alive in the second half of the series.]]
* TheWorfEffect: He talks and acts big, but it doesn't stop him from getting his ass kicked by a very angry Luffy.
** [[spoiler: Falls victim to this again post-timeskip, where he's built up as a serious threat only to get KO'd by Elizabello's MegatonPunch and Bartolomeo's [[BarrierWarrior Bari Bari no Mi]].]]
* WorthyOpponent: [[spoiler:His words in chapter 706 implies he has respect for Luffy as he won't laugh at him anymore.]]
* YouHaveFailedMe: Donflamingo didn't take the news of his defeat well.
** [[spoiler:Seems to have been reversed after the timeskip, as Bellamy's still working under him. Though it's explained he stole a gold pillar from Skypiea and brought it back to Doflamingo. So more than likely, he bribed his way back into his favor. He likewise mentions he's trying to join Doflamingo's main crew, so it seems he's still working his way up the ladder.]]
** [[spoiler: Or not, Doflamingo was just stringing him along. Then orders to Diamante to have him killed since he's "an eyesore". Ouch.]]

[[folder:"God" Eneru]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Enel_TV_Tropes.png
-->"God does exist in this world... and that god is me."

->Voiced by: Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa (JP), Creator/WayneGrayson (EN, 4Kids, ''Grand Adventure'' only), Creator/JMichaelTatum (EN, Funi)

An inhabitant of the sky whose CloudCuckooLander tendencies went a little too far. After eating the Rumble-Rumble Fruit (''Goro Goro no Mi''), a Logia type that gives power over electricity, he began to [[AGodAmI believe that he was literally a god]] and usurped control of Skypiea from its rightful ruler. He uses his SinisterSurveillance to smite those who would defy his will, whether they be Skypieans or the Shandian Tribe, whose ancestral homeland he made his own. By the time of the Straw Hats' arrival, he was putting his plan of returning Skypiea to nothing before departing for the promised land, "Endless Vearth", with four other chosen ones into motion.

* AffablyEvil: Chats calmly with Robin about archaeology and the beauty of Shandora; he also thinks he's a god, and he has a fondness for destroying islands. He also challenges some of his servants to guess how many will be left at the end.
* AfroAssKicker: Under his cap is a huge perm, revealed in Oda's notes.
* AGodAmI: Played with in that "God" is actually just the title of Skypiea's ruler, but thanks to his Devil Fruit, he thinks he's an actual god.
* ArcVillain: One of the most powerful antagonists, who introduced [[spoiler:a type of Haki]], but he's never appeared in the series since his defeat in his own arc. Still, he's very impressive, and in fact has the second-best combat performance of any ArcVillain in this series, after Magellan below.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Incredibly arrogant. He once took a nap in the middle of a battle, [[NighInvulnerable confident that his opponent could not possibly hurt him]]. He was correct.
* ArtisticLicensePhysics: While Rubber is indeed an insulator, there is a limit to how much electricity it can take- and several hundred million volts is ''way'' beyond that limit, and the searing heat alone should have left Luffy a charred corpse. In other words, Eneru ''should have won''. The only reason he didn't win is that Luffy's rubber body [[AcceptableBreaksFromReality isn't just a conventional kind of rubber]], but a strange, Devil Fruit super rubber beyond what humans can manufacture, much like Wapol's unique Wapometal.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Can turn into a giant electrical being with the Amal technique. Sadly, it's also a ClippedWingAngel.
* AxeCrazy: Casually murders a lot of people, including his [[BadBoss own men]], because he's playing a "Survival Game" of his own invention.
** Enel is probably the most legitimately insane character in the series; he has a god complex despite knowing that his powers come from a Devil Fruit, he deems other people "mortals", and his ultimate plan is to destroy Skypiea simply because he finds its floating in the sky too unnatural an existence while he heads off to [[spoiler:the moon]] because he believes it's his personal Promised Land.
* {{Badass}}: Eneru pretty much stands as one of the most powerful villains Luffy has ever faced.
* BadassBaritone: One of Morikawa's lower voice roles.
* BadassBookworm: Yes, he's a lunatic with delusions of grandeur, but he is ''not'' stupid as Robin learned the hard way.
* TheBadGuyWins: Sort of. While he didn't actually beat Luffy, he did succeed in his goal of going to Fairy Vearth. He was going to destroy Skypiea but that was mostly [[ForTheEvulz just for lulz]] and didn't have any bearing on the Fairy Vearth goal.
** Well he did plan on taking the golden bell with him too. So there's that.
* BigBad: Of the Skypiea Saga.
%%* {{Biseinen}}
* BlondGuysAreEvil: Based on the Mayan belief of a [[DarkMessiah blonde, fair-skinned savior]].
* BoltOfDivineRetribution: El Thor ([[AlternateCharacterReading the kanji]] for it reading "God's Judgement"), which he uses to smite any and all who defy him.
* BreakTheHaughty: His realization that Luffy was his KryptoniteFactor.
* TheChessmaster: He turned a Shandian uprising, and the Straw Hats' adventures, by having his men pounce on both sides into a "Survival Game", predicting the likely outcome in an hour of his enforced big battle to five people standing. Of course, this is all to find people worthy enough to join (or rather, survive) [[KillEmAll his genocidal campaign]] against Skypiea aboard [[CoolShip the Maxim]] into Fairy Vearth.
* ClippedWingAngel: 200 Million Volt Amal looks impressive, but it only provides Luffy with a bigger target.
* CompressedHair: Has his blond afro tucked under his headband. Could count as a FunnyAfro too.
* CoolStarship: [[spoiler:The Ark Maxim. [[RuleOfCool It's made of gold!]]]]
* CombatClairvoyance: His Mantra ([[spoiler:actually a form of [[KiAttacks Haki]]]]) allows him to read opponents' minds and predict their movements; when he combines it with his Devil Fruit's ability to feel the electromagnetic currents in the air, he's effectively omniscient.
* ConvectionSchmonvection: Averted in one notable instance: He uses the heat created from a continuous surge of lightning to melt and reshape his staff, which is made of pure gold.
* DeathFromAbove: Having his powers be derived from lightning, this is inevitable. His strongest technique, Raigou, can wipe out whole islands in one go.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: Is always seen barefoot.
* EvilLaugh: Yahahahaha.
* FatalFlaw: His arrogance. It prevented him from focusing on any possible threats to him, which is why Wiper was able to catch him off guard and use his Reject Dial on him, and led to his surprise that Luffy could actually hurt him.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Borderline case, since he did have a goal, [[spoiler: going to the moon]], but it has nothing to do with his role as the antagonist. The only reason he come into conflict with the Straw Hat or anyone else really he's just because he's evil for evil sake. [[spoiler: To drive the point further home, he ends up achieving his dream with no negative effect to anyone else.]]
* GeniusBruiser: Is very knowledgeable about the Blue Sea and knows quite a bit about archeology, metallurgy, and [[spoiler:designing and building space ships]].
* GenocideFromTheInside: Destroyed his home and its people after gaining his powers.
* GetBackHereBoss: Non video game example. After learning Luffy is immune to his attacks and can actually hurt him, Eneru quickly knocks him off the Maxim. The rest of their "fight" consists of Luffy trying to get high enough to hit him.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: During Luffy's first fight with him, he managed to graft gold into the shape of a ball around Luffy's arm and kicks him off the Maxim to get him out of the way. Luffy however manages to get back in the air and uses said ball to not only stop Eneru's [[ColonyDrop energized death ball]] that would've destroyed all of Skypiea (as the ball acts a conductor taking in all of the electricity and neutralized by Luffy's rubber body). But then uses it to deliver a monster of punch to Eneru crashing him into the golden bell, both defeating the villain and achieving his goal of ringing it.
** Probably didn't help that Eneru made himself a bigger target.
* InsaneTrollLogic: Since a floating island is ''[[SarcasmMode clearly]]'' the most unnatural thing in this series, it must be vaporized.
* InstantDeathRadius: Thanks to his enhanced Mantra and the nature of his powers, he can attack people '''far''' outside of their range.
* InvincibleVillain: There is ''no one'', [[ElementalRockPaperScissors save for]] [[RubberMan Luffy]] [[spoiler:and really strong Haki users]] that can challenge him. No one. Robin even stated that his Logia power, The Rumble-Rumble Fruit, out of all of them is the one that truly boasts invincibility.
* TheJuggernaut: Until he fought Luffy, no one could even slow Eneru down. Every HopeSpot his opponents had was quickly rendered null and void.
* KarmaHoudini: Despite being one of the most psychotic and unrepentant villains in ''OnePiece'', Eneru gets away with nothing more than a few bruises from Luffy, actually achieving his original goal following his defeat. By comparison, other {{Big Bad}}s usually had all their evil dreams and goals completely crushed, except for LaughablyEvil Buggy the Clown, who only suffers many [[ButtMonkey comedic humiliations]]. At most, he simply wasn't able to take the Golden Bell with him. However, he's now somewhere where he will like never bother anyone on the planet ever again: the Moon.
* LackOfEmpathy: Eneru cares only about himself; everyone else is no different from a common rock as far as he's concerned.
* LeanAndMean: He's quite tall, and while his body is muscular, it's also overall fairly thin compared to some other males.
* LightIsNotGood: The color of Eneru's lightning (yellow in the manga, bluish-white in the anime) are normally good guy colors. He also wears a lot of white and considers himself to be God.
* LightningBruiser: Pun intended. He's as fast as lightning, can create and launch massive thunderbolts, and is one of the strongest opponents Luffy ever faced. Physically strong as well, he quite literally stomped Zoro.
* MadeOfIron: Even with [[RubberMan Luffy]] [[ElementalRockPaperScissors cancelling out his electric abilities]], he's still a pretty tough guy to keep down.
* MagicalDefibrillator: He IS one. When [[TouchOfDeath a well-placed chest shot from Wiper's Reject Dial]] stopped his heart, he used his own Logia powers to restart it.
* NighInvulnerable: Being a Logia made of lightning, he's completely invulnerable to strikes not imbued with [[KiAttacks Haki]]; Luffy's rubber body is the '''one''' exception.
* MoralityPet: [[spoiler:Rescues a race of cute robots from space pirates during his cover story, and ends up living on the moon with them]].
* OhCrap: Has an absolutely epic one when he realizes that Luffy [[NoSell is immune to his electrical attacks]]. In the manga, the face he made took an ''entire page'', while the anime was a bit more low key about it.
** He gets another at the end of the same fight when Luffy prepares to finish him off with with a Gomu Gomu no Rifle, and he is too injured from the Gomu Gomu no Octopus Fireworks to dodge.
** Likewise he gets one in his final battle with Luffy who rockets the golden ball straight at him. Eneru knows it's coming but finds it's too fast to dodge or counter against (especially since he ''made himself a bigger target'') before it slams right into his smug face.
** He gets a less stellar, but still very satisfying, one earlier when he realizes that Wyper is about to use the Reject dial on him.
* OmnicidalManiac: He tries to destroy Skypiea because he feels a land in the sky is unnatural. Also infamous for obliterating his own sky island before coming to Skypiea.
* OneManArmy: Not only insanely strong, [[SinisterSurveillance he's able to sense every being in Skypiea]], [[MadeOfAir phases through most attacks]], [[VillainTeleportation has instantaneous movement over several kilometers]], and [[PersonOfMassDestruction can form attacks powerful enough to leave meteor-sized craters as collateral damage]]. And his Mantra allows him to [[CombatClairvoyance predict an enemy's movement and strategies to beat him before they can even see him]]. He's pretty much invincible, save for his [[WeaksauceWeakness single weakness against rubber]] and lack of experience in dealing with people who can actually hurt him.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: He has the power to wipe out islands, [[WhereIWasBornAndRazed and has done so]].
* PsychoElectro: Even for this series, Eneru is downright ''insane''.
* RuleOfSymbolism: Everything about him, pretty much. His earlobes are stretched like Hindu deities, his blond hair is a sign of divinity in ancient South American civilizations, his ring of drums resembles those worn by Japanese thunder deities, and most of his attack names reference thunder deities in general.
* ShapingYourAttacks: Hino (a bird), Kiten (a wolf), and Jambure (a dragon).
* ShockAndAwe: The Rumble-Rumble Fruit is rather good at [[IncrediblyLamePun doing both]].
* SinisterSurveillance: His Devil Fruit-enhanced Mantra enables him to keep tabs on every person on Skypiea.
* SmarterThanYouLook: He outwitted [[TheSmartGuy Robin]]. She didn't see it coming.
* SmugSuper: To extreme levels, at one point, he goes to sleep to prove that he can even beat an opponent in that handicap.
* TheSociopath: Going through his personality traits is like reading a sociopath's diagnostic checklist: Incredibly self-centered and arrogant, has an ''astonishing'' LackOfEmpathy for everything around him, manipulates anyone as he pleases, and is driven by a relentless lust for power and control as well as delusions of grandeur.
* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Completely subverted. He is one of the most powerful villains ever introduced in ''OnePiece'', easily dispatching every single opponent he went up against with no effort whatsoever, and would have a bounty of 500 million Berries if he were a pirate, more than any other known [[spoiler:non-New World]] pirate. The only reason Luffy didn't die instantly was because he's a RubberMan, and thus immune to Eneru's powers.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Eneru vs. Enel vs. Ener. Supposedly, they're all fine, but the first is the official spelling used consistently in the English versions.
* SuperpowerLottery: The Rumble-Rumble Fruit's powers are right alongside the Tremor-Tremor's ([[spoiler:Whitebeard]]'s fruit) in both destructive power and range, and the second fastest fruit we've seen so far after the [[LightEmUp Glint-Glint]] (Admiral Kizaru's fruit). It's even been stated to have a reputation of actual '''invincibility''', as nothing but the [[WeaksauceWeakness Gum-Gum]] [[KryptoniteFactor Fruit]] can survive a face full of ''lightning''.
* ThemeNaming: Almost every attack he has is based on various lightning and thunder deities.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Apples.
* UnusualEars: The earlobes have been stretched down to his chest. Luffy doesn't fail to insult him for this.
* VillainousBreakdown: As he leaves for [[spoiler:the moon]] after losing to Luffy, it's clear that what little sanity he had to begin with is gone, ranting about how Fairy Vearth is for him alone and nobody else can have it. The unhinged voice acting (Episode 193 for the curious) really hammers it in.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Never wears a shirt.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Luffy alone is immune to his electric attacks.
* WhereIWasBornAndRazed: Eneru came to Skypiea after destroying his home island of Birka.
* WouldHitAGirl: Poor Robin! Summed up by this quote:
-->''"There's nothing I hate more in this world than a cold, calculating woman."''
** Zoro angrily tells him that, "She's a woman!", shortly after Eneru strikes her down, and he coldly responds that he's aware of it.
** Before this, he fries Laki, telling Wyper that because she attacked him first (to no avail), it doesn't matter whether she's a woman or a warrior.
* YellowLightningBlueLightning: An interesting case in that it's both: Eneru's lightning powers are colored yellow in the manga and a more realistic bluish-white in the anime.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Did this to his own men. Shoot, he did this to ''the entire island of Skypiea''!

[[folder:Foxy "The Silver Fox"]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Foxxy_tv_tropes_small.png
-->"We, the Foxy Pirates, challenge you, the Straw Hat Pirates, to a Davy Back Fight!"

->Voiced by: Creator/BinShimada (JP), Jonathan Brooks (EN)

Foxy "The Silver Fox" is a notorious pirate for having one of the largest crews in the series, together with one of the largest ships. He has such because of his mastery of the "Davy Back Fight", a sportive event between pirates where the crews wage their own TrueCompanions. Althought not very combat prone, Foxy is a very scheming and cunning man (which is kind of hard to believe of him, at a glance), making use of different kinds of weapons, disguises, and items, together with his Devil Fruit powers of the Slow-Slow Fruit (''Noro Noro no Mi''), which allows him to slow everything his beams touch for 30 seconds.

His bounty is 24,000,000 Berries.
-----
* AccentAdaptation: He has an Italian accent in the Creator/FUNimation dub provided by Jonathan Brooks
* AffablyEvil: Unlike most of his predecessors, he honestly cares for his crew, gets upset easily, and doesn't KickTheDog, at least not ones that are played seriously. The only evil thing about him is that he's a DirtyCoward and that he takes away members from other crews. In fact, he's probably the only AntiVillain major enemy prior to Magellan.
* AnimalMotifs: Take one guess. It's as subtle as a brick to the face.
* ArcVillain: Oda admits he's the only canon FillerVillain so far as his presence has no lasting influence on the story.
* CheshireCatGrin: Always smiling regardless of expression.
* CombatPragmatist: Will gladly use any trickery he can think of to win a fight.
* EvilLaugh: Fehfehfehfeh.
* FillerVillain: Oda has admitted this, as his presence and arc only served as a way to build up to Aokiji's sudden appearance.
* GagNose: Looks like one, but he naturally has a red nose.
* GiantMecha: The Gorilla Puncher #13; the anime version has several more, such as the dodgeball cannon "Bull's Eye-kun".
* GoldFishPoopGang: The anime eventually turned him, Porche, and Hamburger into this.
* {{Gonk}}: He's portly, has a GagNose and a CheshireCatGrin, a far cry from [[{{Bishonen}} Eneru]], but much less insane. [[WeaksauceWeakness Just don't tell him this to his face]].
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Luffy reflects his Slow-Slow Beam at him, then knocks him into the water while he's helpless.
* LoopholeAbuse: As long as it's for his advantage.
* MinorInsultMeltdown: Will drop to his knees in shame if he hears so much as one insult thrown his way. Luckily, equally offhanded praise will get him back up immediately.
** Which is used to effectively paralyze him at one point and prevent him from interfering in one of the Davy Back matches.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: In the previous Davy Back Fights, he got a captain traded for one of his previous victims, which proceeds to overthrow him as soon as he's defeated.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Until the Captain Duel, he was regarded as a great joke. Many a "Holy Shit!" was uttered when he promptly beat the snot out of Luffy due to the pure cheapness of his power. In fact, he landed more hits on Luffy than ''Eneru'' ever did... too bad Luffy is immune to blunt attacks.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: What he gives Luffy, although it's largely because of his TimeStandsStill powers.
* PaperThinDisguise: One of his many techniques is known as the "Foxy Face Transformation", referencing the shapeshifting abilities that mythological ''[[{{Youkai}} kyuubi]]'' are supposed to have. Instead of flawless transformation, it's this trope, which only Luffy would (and did) fall for.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: Even without the Noro Noro Beam, his "Megaton Kyuubi Rush" technique can match Luffy's "Gomu Gomu Gatling" blow-for-blow.
* SoreLoser: Considering his record, it's unsurprising he doesn't take loss well. In the filler of the Davy Back Arc after the Straw Hats initially win the first round of matches, he demands a re-match just to soothe his damaged ego and noticeably cites "Combat" as the final game and no re-matches will be made in the second round since at the time his crew had wound the first two games. When Luffy manages to beat him however, he tries to extend a handshake of good sportsmanship then do a overhead throw as revenge. Only for that to fail since, thanks to Luffy's rubber body extending his arm, Foxy falls flats on his face.
* TimeStandsStill: His Noro Noro Beams allow him to slow anything they touch for thirty seconds. Besides the obvious use in enemies, he adds very different (and deadly) uses to them.
* TryingToCatchMeFightingDirty: Him and the words "fair fight" go together like water and oil.
* UngratefulBastard: While he does have a pride as a captain, he does fight dirty as well as turn on the Straw-hats as soon as they get his ship back from a treacherous member (also a captain).
* WeakButSkilled: Probably the most evident example in the series.
* ZergRush: Does this to Luffy in the final fight of the Davy Back.

[[folder:Rob Lucci]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Lucci_and_Hattori_at_Enies_Lobby_8093.png
-->"They were criminals, so I killed them in name of justice... As soldiers, weakness is a sin. They surrendered to evil, and caused a crisis in the kingdom. That type of soldier doesn't deserve to live. So they're dead."

->Voiced by: Creator/TomokazuSeki (JP), Creator/JasonLiebrecht (EN, Funi)

Rob Lucci is the strongest member of Cipher Pol #9, a top secret group of eight assassins tasked with various undercover operations for the World Government. He is calm and ruthless, even refraining from the EvilLaugh, a staple among One Piece villains. He and his group are masters of ''Rokushiki'' (literally Six Forms), a martial arts fighting style based on six different superhuman techniques, and he and the rest of [=CP9=] gave the Straw Hats some of their toughest and grueling battles yet. He ate the Cat-Cat Fruit (''Neko Neko no Mi''), Model: Leopard.

* {{Animorphism}}: Ate a Zoan-type which allows him to turn into a leopard or huge leopard-man at will.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: To the letter. The realization that a pirate ''can'' defeat him is his OhCrap moment and the only time when he loses composture. He's subtly different from typical examples of this trope in that, instead of being a total loner, he actually considers the rest of [=CP9=] his TrueCompanions and his standard ice-cold demeanor warms up somewhat when there are no outsiders around.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: His skills include a complete mastery of the martial art known as Rokushiki, assassination, ship-building...and ventriloquism.
* AtopAMountainOfCorpses: Gained his reputation for an instance in which he does this. When he was ''thirteen''. Just before being ''[[OutOfTheInferno bombarded with cannonfire]]''.
* {{Badass}}: [[TheStoic More quiet]] and [[AxCrazy unhinged]] than the typical, but he is still this. Slaughtering 500 soldiers at ''age 13''? Check. A ventriloquist for his NonHumanSidekick? Check. Having a [[PowerLevels douriki]] ''twice'' as high as the next strongest member of his squad? Check. Able to ''[[FingerpokeOfDoom shoot a person to death]]'' [[FingerpokeOfDoom with merely his index finger]]? Check. Can FlashStep? Check. Can ''[[DoubleJump quintuple jump?]]'' Check. Can manipulate your RazorWind kick into the shapes of a bird and a spiral? Check. A ManipulativeBastard when he wants to be? Check. Fighting and nearly killing Luffy on ''physical force alone''? '''Check'''.
** It was even stated by Franky that had it not have been for Luffy holding Lucci off, he would have killed all of them. Considering that even includes the insanely powerful Zoro and Sanji (who are not that far away from Luffy) really says something about this guy.
* BadassInANiceSuit: Gained a suit to go along with his NiceHat after TheReveal. When he dons the BadassLongcoat he ''almost'' rivals Crocodile in this department.
* BadassLongcoat: The one he wears while on the train to Enies Lobby. His pigeon gets one too.
* BeardOfEvil: Goatee of Evil!
* BishonenLine: Sort of. He can use [[MasterOfYourDomain Life Return]] to make his large bulky leopaard-man form more proportionate to his thin human form, making him faster and more agile.
* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: The basis of his "Dark Justice" philosophy is that any person or thing that goes against the interests of the World Government not only needs to be destroyed, but is also evil for being that way. Lucci didn't just think the soldiers he killed being taken hostage was [[YouHaveFailedMe inexcusable]] or that killing Robin was [[NecessarilyEvil necessary]]; he honestly thought the soldiers' weakness and Robin's very ''existence'' were both '''unforgivable sins.'''
* BloodKnight: While serving the World Government comes first, Lucci wishes no other reward for his service than the blood of their enemies. He almost never actually smiles unless he's in the middle of battle, and even allows Gonbe and Chimney to trail Spandam's group so that they will lead the Straw Hats right to him.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Thanks to Rokushiki.
* DoubleJump: ''Geppou'', literally ''Moon Step''.
* TheDragon: A classic example. His chief, Spandam, [[BigBad who sets the events of the Enies Lobby arc in the motion]], is weak and cowardly, leaving all of the actual fighting to Lucci and the other [=CP9=] agents.
** DragonInChief: Despite being BigBad of the [=CP9=], Spandam is vastly inferior to Lucci (and the rest of his team), and it is Lucci that is considered the most dangerous.
** TheHeavy: He also holds the position of the motivational threat.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Lucci is perfectly willing to massacre everyone branded an enemy by the World Government, and directly states that he's going to chase Nico Robin to the ends of the world and eliminate her after he beats Luffy, but brutalizing her when she's a defenseless prisoner is too much even for him, orders or not. [[spoiler:Probably why Lucci gets a redemption cover story and Spandam gets a double serving of FateWorseThanDeath]].
** Also, the man ''always'' keeps his word. He was totally sincere about letting the Straw Hats go free if Robin surrendered to him, unlike (again) Spandam.
* FingerPokeOfDoom: ''Shigan'' (literally "Finger Gun") and all its variants.
* FlashStep: ''Soru'', literally "Shave".
* GeniusBruiser: Is quite intelligent and perceptive, on those occasions when he bothered to use his brain.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has an enormous scar in the rough shape of the World Government symbol across his back, which obviously symbolizes his dedication to their brutal practices.
* HypercompetentSidekick: Saying he is ''leagues'' above Spandam in general competence and skill might be an understatement.
* KarmaHoudini: Anyone who still gets to live after all the vile things Lucci did is the epitome of this.
* KickTheDog: Invoked. He tells Paulie that if TheReveal that his coworkers are WG assassins is too hard to believe, he'll step on Iceburg's face to convince him.
* KnightTemplar: Believes in "Dark Justice", which holds that ANYONE who fails to fulfill their duty deserves to die. When he was only 13, he killed 500 soldiers captured by pirates for being too weak. Let's just say that by the end of the arc, he's forced to rethink his position.
** [[spoiler:He seems to mellow down somewhat in the [=CP9=] side story, after the government allows Spandam to frame them for failure. He still remains ruthless and brutal enough to terrify the citizens that [=CP9=] save from marauding pirates. But take note that if he still fully believed in Dark Justice, he should have turned himself and the rest of [=CP9=] in. Well, [[NiceJobFixingItVillain Nice Job Fixing It, Spandam]]]].
* LeanAndMean: Unless he's in his hybrid form, and even then, he can invoke this trope with Life Return.
* LightningBruiser: Invokes this trope, being very tall, massive, and tough in his leopard-man form, yet remaining one of the fastest characters in the series. In a subversion, he must change into a smaller and slimmer variation of this form for maximum speed. Even without his Devil Fruit powers, though, he more than fits the trope thanks to his mastery of Rokushiki.
* ALoadOfBull: Wears the bull costume in the Galley-la mansion raid.
* MadeOfIron: ''Tekkai'', literally "Iron Shell". A technique that involves hardening the muscles so that they are as strong as iron.
* MasterOfAll: Master of all Six Forms techniques, while his colleagues tend to specialize in one, albeit not to the exclusion of others.
* TheMole: [=CP9=] was tasked with investigating Water 7's mayor Iceberg while undercover. He even pretended to be a high pitched, friendly ventriloquist.
* MyCountryRightOrWrong: It is clear that Lucci sees what a disgusting slime Spandam is, and there are some hints that he doesn't like the things he is commanded to do, but obedience to the World Government, as embodied by its highest-ranking representative, trumps all for him. [[spoiler:He draws the line when he feels that his TrueCompanions were betrayed by WG.]]
* NiceHat: A top hat.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: Lucci is the only [=CP9=] member without any quirks (aside from Blueno and Nero, who were beaten and killed, respectively, too quickly to establish any).
* NonHumanSidekick: His pet pigeon Hattori.
* OhCrap: Not as over the top as most villains, but [[spoiler:his reaction at seeing Luffy stay up after taking his strongest attack ''for the third time'' during their fight pretty much tells you he's screwed]].
* OneWingedAngel: His [[HalfHumanHybrid leopard-man hybrid form]] basically serves as this, granting a boost to his already phenomenal strength. Although he's very slightly [[MightyGlacier slower]] in this form due to its large size.
* PerpetualFrowner: Before TheReveal, he never changed his scowl, much less even spoke. After coming out as a [=CP9=] operative, he does have a ''slightly'' wider range of expressions, such as (evil) smirking.
* PantheraAwesome: A leopard man.
* PowerLevel: An astonishing '''4000''', the highest in the history of [=CP9=]; and that's just in his human-form.
* PrimalStance: Often has this in his half-leopard form.
* RazorWind: ''Rankyaku'', literally "Tempest Leg", and all of its variants.
* TheReveal: As a government operative.
* SadisticChoice: When he breached the Tower of Justice and allowed it to flood, knowing that the waters would reach the Straw Hats, he gave Luffy the choice of going to save them (and drowning in the attempt) or fighting him, which would give them a slim chance of survival. Luffy rebuffed him saying they'll survive anyway, and if he went for them, Lucci would kill them anyway.
* ShapingYourAttacks: One of his Rankyaku attacks is bird-shaped and named "Victory Bird".
* SlasherSmile: Gives of a fantastic one in preparation for his final fight with Luffy.
* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Subverted. Though being the first to bring [[TheHero Luffy]] to the brink of death through brute force, he's actually lower on the algorithm than the two previous saga [[BigBad Big Bads]] [[PersonOfMassDestruction Crocodile]] and [[PersonOfMassDestruction Eneru]].
* TheStoic: Unless he's fighting.
* TykeBomb: All of the [=CP9=] members are apparently this.
* TheVoiceless: Until TheReveal, that is.
* WhyDontYaJustShootHim: For a ruthless killer, he has a surprisingly poor grasp of the fact that just leaving your targets disabled, trapped, and awaiting excruciating death ''never works''.
** That being said, sparing the crew was part of the deal he struck with Robin.
* WorthyOpponent: While he does look down on Luffy and considers him incapable of beating him, Lucci does concede that he is a ''way'' better leader than Spandam.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Literally kicks Nero off the Sea Train for losing and trying to kill Franky (whom they need alive)
* YouShallNotPass: Complains about Luffy not giving him the chance to say this in regards to passing through a door behind him to save Robin.

[[folder:Spandam]]

-->"The most important thing is my life!!! My promotion! If I let them go freely, who will protect me when something happens?"
->Voiced by: Creator/MasayaOnosaka (JP), Creator/ChristopherCoreySmith (EN, Funi), Creator/KentWilliams (EN, Unlimited Adventure)

The chief of [=CP9=] and Enies Lobby, Spandam is Rob Lucci's superior officer, though he's actually weaker than even a normal marine. A clumsy, cowardly, but power-hungry swine, he works only to further his career. When he was a member of [=CP5=], he convinced the leaders of the World Government to let him seek out the blueprints of Pluton. He possesses a broadsword named Funkfreed that "ate" the Elephant-Elephant Fruit (''Zou Zou no Mi''), allowing it to turn into an elephant.

* AmusingInjuries: In his first appearance, he gets blown up by a stray cannonball. And it doesn't stop there.
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Inverted. He's the weakest guy on Enies Lobby. He's even weaker than every marine on the base.
* BigBad: Of the [=CP9=] Saga.
* ButtMonkey: He's always getting smashed in the face in Franky's flashback. He has no respect from his men. Kalifa considers his very existence "sexual harassment".
* CoolSword: It's his ONLY advantage. It transforms into an elephant.
* DirtyCoward: Only talks big when he has people to do his dirty work or when he has someone at his mercy; if the latter is the case, he also sees brutally beating them as a perfectly acceptable course of action. Seeing him go out like a bitch is ''immensely'' satisfying.
* EvilLaugh: Wahahahaha.
* FateWorseThanDeath: Having his back broken by Nico Robin, the same woman who escaped his father and suffered heavily at his hands. ''And'' [[spoiler:being hunted down by his co-workers, specifically [[PsychoForHire Rob Lucci,]] for framing them]].
* FauxAffablyEvil: He's presented at first as little more than a thoroughly incompetent and ''incredibly'' obnoxious blowhard who is stricken with comically bad luck and subordinates who have absolutely no respect for him. That all gets thrown out the window when he [[MoralEventHorizon savagely beats a captive Robin]] when she was bound with Seastone chains, rendering her completely incapable of fighting back.
* GeneralFailure: He is surprisingly inept for someone in his position. It is implied he got to it through family connections, since his father, Spandine, was chief of Cipher Pol #9 before him. But...
* GenerationXerox: Spandine was just as much of a SmugSnake GeneralFailure as Spandam is now, the only difference is that Spandine cares about his men, and actually evacuates the non-archaeologist citizens from Ohara (only for Sakazuki/Akainu to [[KillThemAll kill them anyway]]; [[EvenEvilHasStandards something that even Spandine thought was going too far]]). Unfortunately, his son inherited all of his qualities ''but'' the standards.
* HateSink: The Straw Hats hate him for nearly taking Robin away, the Marines of Enies Lobby hate him for trivializing their imminent deaths with his accidental invocation of the Buster Call, and now [[spoiler:[=CP9=] hates him for trying to pin the whole fiasco on their heads]].
* HeKnowsTooMuch[=/=]TheScapegoat: That the Enies Lobby fiasco got as bad as it did is almost entirely his fault, but using his dad's influence he managed to get the blame shifted to his subordinates and [[YouHaveFailedMe have them scheduled for execution]] in hopes that World Government hitmen will get to them before they can rat him out. [[spoiler: He's wrong]].
* {{Gonk}}: Has a dark red nose and black markings around his eyes, making him resemble a panda. Franky even calls him "Spanda".
* HumiliationConga: A very, ''very'' satisfying one. Let's see. He winds up losing the plans to Pluton, his agents are beaten, his base is destroyed by his own incompetence when he accidentally orders the Buster Call on it, he gets hit by a explosive star via a long distance shot by Usopp, Franky crushes him with his elephant sword, he gets slapped silly by Robin when she's freed which leaves him horribly bruised beyond the point of recognition, he can only whine and complain as the Straw Hats (and in effect his main target, Robin) get away with the Marines unable to do anything to stop them and fittingly enough, Robin delivers the final blow to him via her clutch move which leaves him with a broken back. The last we see of him is slowly healing in a full body cast. Oh yeah and [[spoiler: by pinning the blame of the mission failure on [=CP9=], he winds up making enemies of them who vow to hunt him down.]]
* IsThisThingStillOn: Mistakenly blabs that he'd let everyone on the island die in order to further his career while his Den Den Mushi is transmitting, then tries to cover it [[BlatantLies by claiming to be Luffy]]. ''No one'' is fooled.
* ItsAllAboutMe: His quote above clearly indicates this.
* {{Jerkass}}: Loves to KickTheDog, doesn't care who he has to kill off to get his way, only cares about himself... Long story short, he's an asshole.
* LaughablyEvil: Played with. Crazy accidents are always happening to him, his agents don't respect him, but he's one of the nastier characters in the series.
* MaskPower: Wears an iron mask on his face, which doesn't really cover most of his features. He wears it because [[spoiler:his face had been permanently damaged by a young Franky years prior to the series' present]].
* MadeOfIron: He's the weakest member of [=CP9=]. So how the hell does he survive all the punishment fate sends him?
* ManipulativeBastard: Amazingly, despite his moments of incompetence, he still managed to exploit the paranoia of ''the [[OmniscientCouncilOfVagueness Five Elder]] [[AmbiguouslyEvil Stars]]''. As in the chief authority of the World Government. He was then given an assignment on retrieving the blueprints of Pluton, [[spoiler:which Spandam wanted to use to remove the authority of the Five Elder Stars and TakeOverTheWorld]].
* NonActionBigBad: True, he has that Elephant sword, but it's clear it's a last option security measure. In fact, what could be a truly powerful sword is almost completely worthless in his hands when he's forced to use it.
* OhCrap: Does this quite a few times as the situation on Enies Lobby deteriorates. His biggest one occurs when he figures out that not only did the Buster Call completely fail to eliminate the Straw Hats, but that he is now at the mercy of a ''very'' angry Robin, and that she gives absolutely zero fucks about being nice.
** Gets another one during the [=CP9=] cover story, when, after blaming the entire incident on them and getting them declared criminals by the World Government, he gets a call from an understandably upset Rob Lucci stating they're coming for him. And remember, they're a group of elite assassins who, thanks to Blueno, can come out of thin air and are led by a guy who almost killed Luffy through physical force alone.
* PowerLevel: 9, and the [[{{Mook}} average Marine soldier's]] is 10.
* ScarsAreForever: [[spoiler:He got savagely pistol-whipped by Franky back when he went by Cutty Flam years ago when he instigated the execution of Tom. His face was permanently damaged and he had to wear a mask to hide the injuries. Made all the worse when Robin delivers countless multi-armed slaps, Franky punches him in the face with an iron fist, and then drops ''Funkfreed'' on top of him. Spandam's head swells like a blueberry.]]
* SmugSnake: Barks a big game, but Fukurou points out that he is weaker than the average Marine soldier. ''He is even weaker than a {{Mook}}''. To absolutely no one's surprise, he went out like a bitch at the hands of Robin, which he ''completely'' deserved.
* TheStarscream: To [[spoiler:the Five Elder Stars]].
* TakeOverTheWorld: Has stated he wants to do this earlier in his career as head of [=CP5=]. Now as Director of [=CP9=], it's hard to say if he still has those ambitions, but his dreams are still pretty grandiose. He could've been attempting this step by step with Robin's capture. But for now, [[spoiler:he's trying to avoid being killed by a vengeful [=CP9=] for framing them]].
* VillainousBreakdown: His calm, cocky exterior falls apart as the Straw Hats prove to be more than his agents can handle. By the time they escape, he's screaming for their deaths.
* WouldHitAGirl: He assaults Robin while she's bound by ''chains''. And he doesn't just hit her once or twice; he flat-out assaults her. ''Repeatedly''. Also, the way he was drawn in that same episode was darker and more psychotic than his usual ButtMonkey atmosphere, which emphasized on this.

-->"Don't underestimate the full destructive power of a giraffe!!"

->Voiced by: Creator/RyotaroOkiayu (JP), Alex Organ (EN, Funi), Creator/JerryJewell (EN, Unlimited Adventure)

One of the Elite members of the Cipher Pol #9 and second only to Lucci, and is also the youngest. Has a peculiar, "squared body" and a very long nose, similar to Usopp's. He too can use the Rokushiki and is a master of [[RazorWind Rankyaku]], to the point that he's developed the ''Yontoryuu'' (Four-swords style) using [[DualWielding two katanas]] and his legs. He also ate the Cow Cow Fruit (''Ushi Ushi no Mi''), Model: Giraffe and can turn into a Giraffe-man, but despite his ridiculous appearence, he's still powerful and dangerous if not moreso.
-----
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Zoro gets a chuckle out of him by telling him he can always join the zoo if he needs a job.
* {{Animorphism}}: He can turn into a "were-giraffe" with his Devil Fruit powers.
* AffablyEvil: He's really a nice guy, but works for the bad guys. In fact, in fan polls, he consistently ranks as ''the most popular villain in the entire series''.
** So much so, that before TheReveal and a showcase of his abilities, many fans thought he might be the Shipwright for the Straw Hats.
* AllThereInTheManual: It turns out his hobby has always been building ships in bottles, so it's no wonder he was sorry to leave his cover job.
* BareYourMidriff: While transformed his chest grows much larger, resulting in his suit not fitting as well.
* BecomingTheMask: His flashback to his career as a carpenter [[spoiler:after being beaten by Zoro]], showed that at least he of all the [=CP9=] had some regrets.
* BerserkButton: Don't laugh at him too much or mock giraffes.
* BloodKnight: He's one like Lucci; he really enjoyed his fight with Zoro, but he's cheerful.
* CallingYourAttacks: Even if sometimes he actually invents the name for the attack on the spot. See [[CrowningMomentOfFunny ''Pasta Machine''.]]
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Thanks to Rokushiki.
* TheComicallySerious: His complete seriousness about his silly, but still powerful, Devil's Fruit is quite amusing.
* DoubleJump: ''Geppou'', like Lucci's.
* TheDragon: To Lucci's quasi BigBad and/or DragonInChief role to Spandam.
* DualWielding: He uses shirasaya swords along with the RazorWind from his legs, which he says makes him a wielder of "four sword" style.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: When we first see him in Water Seven he's already quite powerful, then he and Kalifa both eat Devil Fruits Spandam gave them during Enies Lobby.
* FingerpokeOfDoom: And he can do that ''with his nose''. No Kidding...
* FlashStep: Not only he can use ''Soru'', but he's also very fast.
* GagNose: And so hard that it can ''pierce stones''!!!
* GeniusBruiser: While he was an undercover assassin, his shipwrighting skills were legitimate. His assessment of the [[spoiler:Going Merry]] was accurate.
* GenreSavvy: He's the only member of [=CP9=] to not attribute Blueno's loss to Luffy to his being out of shape. When Zoro proclaims he'll shatter Kaku's [[MadeOfIron Tekkai]], he blocks the attack with a [[RazorWind Rankyaku]] instead.
* GracefulLoser: Freely offers his key to Zoro after his defeat.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: His seemingly silly, often-mocked and ridiculous-looking giraffe powers prove to be quite effective in battle.
* HowDoIShootWeb: Unlike Kalifa, he has trouble over his new Zoan transformations, turning into a full giraffe during his battle with Zoro on his first try when he was trying to go to hybrid form and discovering new abilities on the fly. However he is remarkably quick to adapt to them i.e: using his enlarged nose for a Shigan attack, turning his body into a cube so he won't have any openings, finding he can shrink his neck which gives him longer limbs so he can battle normally, etc.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Zoro wonders whether, as he is a spy, he might be wrong about [[spoiler:the Going Merry]]. He points out that he isn't, and is proved correct.
* KickTheDog: Dumping the Going Merry into the sea during Aqua Laguna.
** Though considering he does like building ships, it may have been more of a MercyKill, because Usopp just wouldn't face the truth that the Merry was on her last legs. This is implied when he even calls it his last act as a shipwright.
* LeanAndMean: He and the three other members are the only normally proportioned and regular-sized people in [=CP9=].
* LightningBruiser: Was even nicknamed ''Yamakaze'' (Mountain wind) for his great speed.
* MeaningfulName: Kaku means "squared".
* TheMole: In Water 7 with Lucci.
* NiceGuy: Despite being an [[HeroAntagonist antagonist]].
* NiceHat: Always wears a baseball cap of some sort. Except when he's a giraffe.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Subtle, but it's there all right. Had he not released the Going Merry from its holding dock at Water 7, it wouldn't have ended up roaming to Enies Lobby and saving the Straw Hats during the [[NukeEm Buster Call]] like it did.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Everyone finds his giraffe powers hilarious. Even his "[[TeethClenchedTeamwork comrade]]" Jabra can't take him seriously. See below for his response.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: He ''cut the Tower of Justice in half'' in a fit of rage with Razor Wind Amanedachi.
* PowerLevel: The second highest of [=CP9=] at 2200.
* PunnyName: His attacks are mainly puns on the various combinations of "kaku" and ''kirin'' (giraffe). Eg: ''Kama Kirin'' refers to Kamakiri (the mantis) and the giraffe.
* RazorWind: A real master of ''Rankyaku'', they can be a [[DeathOfAThousandCuts small shower of blades]], a drill-like attack, a [[FuumaShuriken shuriken-shaped blast]], and even a circular giant slice.
* TheReveal: As a government operative.
* ReverseGrip: How he holds his katana.
* RunningGag: He's often mistaken for Usopp. And he's constantly mocked as a giraffe.
* SuperToughness: When using ''Tekkai''.
* TykeBomb: All of the [=CP9=] members are apparently this.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: He's often seen with Jyabura.
* VerbalTic: Often ends his sentences with "-ja".
* WhamLine
-->'''Kaku''': I'm going to give it to you straight. Your ship... [[spoiler:... can't be fixed! Not even with our skills.]]
* WorthyOpponent: Considers Zoro to be one.

[[folder: Oars the Devil]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Oars_3154.jpg
--> "I wanna be King of the Pirates!... Why does that sound famillar?"

-> Voiced by: Creator/MayumiTanaka (JP), Creator/ColleenClinkenbeard (EN)

A humongous Giant from a clan known for its evil nature and who rampaged throughout the world 400+ years ago, only to die of the cold in the Northern Continent, his body was found by Gekko Moria and was redesigned by Dr. Hogback to be Special Zombie #900.

When Moria stole Luffy's shadow, and put it inside Oars. Moria felt that he had found the perfect zombie to become Pirate King with, but after a incredible battle with the Straw Hat Pirates, Oars was crippled, and his shadow eventually found its way back to Luffy, re-dying once more. However, before he died centuries ago, he had at least one child, and his name lives on with his grandson Little Oars Jr.
-----
* AGodAmI: It's said that in his past, his followers worshiped him as a God.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Most Giants seen in the series look like super-sized humans, but Oars is more of a titanic demon in looks.
* AssKicksYou: Gomu Gomu no Butt Stomp is his own original invention.
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Quite a bit bigger, though.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: He gets fooled quite easily. Luffy's fault.
* BigEater: After being resurrected, he spends a lot of time eating. Again, Luffy's fault.
* BigRedDevil: Whether or not this was intentional, his appearance is somewhat Satanic, and he was known as "The Devil".
* BlondGuysAreEvil: A shaggy mane of blond hair runs down his back.
* TheDragon: To Moriah.
* DumbMuscle: Having [[IdiotHero Luffy's]] shadow fueling him doesn't help his case, but he was a dumbass even in life, as he went into a cold region and died because all he wore was a ''loincloth''.
%%* FatBastard
* FeelNoPain: As a result of being a zombie. He's sure glad about it, but this comes back to bite him when he fails to realize how serious the injuries he's taking are.
* HornedHumanoid: Not quite so useful when one falls down on them, though.
* ImplacableMan: Bordering on TheJuggernaut.
* KillItWithIce: What did him in originally.
* LightningBruiser: With Luffy's shadow as his power, he's almost just as fast as he is, given his much larger frame.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Hits all of them in some way:
** Ninja: Luffy's shadow allows him to move at speeds physically impossible for his size.
** Pirate: Luffy is a pirate, and he serves the pirate Moriah.
** Zombie: He's a corpse animated by Moriah's powers.
** Robot: Hogback built a cockpit in his stomach so Moriah can fight with him. When he first saw this, he pretended that he was a robot called "Oars Bomber".
* OffstageVillainy: In his past, Oars led an army of his clan that took over islands and kingdoms, but when he is seen in the present, it's as his Zombie self.
* OurGiantsAreBigger: Quite so, as he is the current page image.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: A stitched-up zombie, powered by a shadow, with a cockpit in his stomach.
* PsychopathicManchild: Man-child comes from his personality gained from Luffy; Psychopathic comes from the fact that he does whatever he wants, even beating up people for no reason.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Gatling is one of the few attacks he can imitate.
* RedBaron: "The Continent Puller", as he "dragged whole islands" to his kingdom to form a giant domain all for himself.
* RedOniBlueOni: A red one for Nightmare Luffy's blue.
* RubberMan: Sort of. While he himself has no such abilities, with Gekko Moriah controlling his shadow his limbs can stretch like Luffy's.
* StopHelpingMe: [[InvokedTrope Invokes]] this toward Moria should he do anything more than help him stretch.
* SuperStrength: Well, being a giant so large that other giants are a quarter your size kinda helps with this.
* TooDumbToLive: Possibly; he died from heading into a cold region wearing naught but a loincloth. Then again, Oars. Jr was quite grateful for the hat Ace made that protected him from the elements, so it could be that Oars simply ''couldn't'' wear any protective clothing his size.
* UngratefulBastard: Played for laughs when Moria asks him to be his [[TheDragon Dragon]].

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Absalom_6383.jpg
-> Voiced by: Hiroaki Miura (JP), Andrew Chandler (EN)

One of the main antagonists of Thriller Bark, and a pervert on par with Sanji. Leads the Mooks and EliteMooks in the arc, and kidnaps Nami to be his bride. Trades blows with Sanji because he ate the Clear-Clear Fruit (''Suke Suke no Mi''), allowing him to become an InvisibleMan and turn everything he touches invisible as well.
-----
* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: To an unconscious Nami.
* AltarTheSpeed: Justified, as his previous attempt at marrying Nami resulted in the room being crushed, and his guests killed. However, even with this in the second time, Oars's rampage makes it impossible for him to actually kiss the bride. Touches on TheDeterminator as he does it countless times.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Towards Nami in a wedding dress. Results in him and Sanji both trying to make speeches, and stopping mid-speech to comment 'Oh, I thought she was an angel/goddess/siren' at multiple instances.
* BadassLongcoat: It's quite regal.
* BadBoss: Played with. He lets his [[EliteMooks General Zombies]] come to his wedding, and seems distressed to see them all killed by Oars in one go. He's ready to punish, maim and kick his sub-ordinates when they insult him, but they do call him 'pervert' a lot, so it's reasonable, and they are zombies after all.
* BerserkButton: Don't call him a pervert. Doesn't help he has a DelayedReaction to it sometimes, allowing for multiple instances to build up a rage.
* {{BFG}}: [[spoiler: He has a pair of pulse-activated bazookas strapped to his arms which he turns invisible.]]
* BodyHorror: Allowed [[MadDoctor Hogback]] to cut him open and graft on pieces of animals to help his combat abilities.
* DarkMessiah: Sort of. He seems to be revered by the zombies under his command, but most of them seem to know about his quirks and strangeness. They're still loyal and respectful to him, though. The General Zombies even agree to go to his wedding.
* DudeShesLikeInAComa: Attempts to marry Nami while she is drugged unconscious.
* EvilCounterpart: To Sanji. The two even take a break during the battle to gush over how great Nami looks in a wedding dress. Not to mention they both have the same desires, lusts and practices.
** Except that Absalom is actually worse, since he lacks Sanji's chivalry, and is even ready to harass the lovely young women he encounters. Hell, [[EstablishingCharacterMoment one of the first things we]] "[[{{Invisibility}} see]]" [[EstablishingCharacterMoment him do is just that]], harassing Robin on the Thousand Sunny.
* HandBlast: His Dead Man's Hand attack. [[spoiler: Though it's actually due to a pair of bazookas he strapped to his arms.]]
* HandsomeLech: Even worse than Sanji, since he actually does the stuff that is -not- OK, and isn't chivalrous.
* HypocriticalHumour: Calls Sanji a pervert. His answer? A kick to the face and a cry of "I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT FROM YOU, BASTARD!!"
--->'''[[ThoseTwoGuys Those Two Zombies]]''': HE'S GOT A POINT!!
* IncrediblyLamePun: Guilty of many of these. As Oda stated, even his sense of humour is invisible!
* IntrepidReporter: [[WordOfGod Word of Oda]] confirms in SBS Volume 71 that Absalom has been reporting a lot of big news under the name "Absa" using his devil fruit. He was at the Battle of Marineford and he was also the one who revealed the alliances between the Supernovas.
* {{Invisibility}}: His Devil Fruit ability, allowing him to become an invisible man. [[spoiler: He can also turn anything he touches invisible.]]
* MadeOfIron: He claims his body, which has the hide of an elephant surgically grafted to it, will shatter the legs of anyone who tries to kick him. Until Sanji comes along that is.
* MixAndMatchCritters: A human body, with the face of a lion, muscles of a bear and gorilla, and the skin of an elephant.
* MoralMyopia: He is repulsed by Zombie!Lola's attempts to force him into marriage. He then spends most of the arc trying to forcefully marry Nami while she was drugged unconscious (and this is after he all but ''molested'' her).
* OhCrap:
-->'''Sanji''': With all those animals in you... you'll make formidable mince meat...\\
'''Absalom''': -becomes momentarily visible from fear, and panics, kicking Sanji violently-.
* NiceHat: As might be worn by a bishop.
* NotSoDifferent: [[CombatCommentator The zombies watching his and Sanji's fight]] remark that as much as Sanji tries to be noble, he and Absalom are more similar than different. One important difference is showcased, though: Absalom, unlike Sanji, is willing to involve innocents in his fights.
* ThePeepingTom: Spies on Nami in the shower. One of the reasons [[ChivalrousPervert Sanji]] is mad at him. (Not because it's bad, but because he's always wanted to do it. And always wanted the Devil Fruit that Absalom ate.)
* SkipToTheEnd: Really impatient at both his wedding attempts.
* SuperStrength: Has the combined muscles of a bear and gorilla and a weight of 300 kilograms thanks to all the animal parts Hogback grafted onto his body.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: His BodyHorror form. He even removes his cloak beforehand too when evoking it.
* WeddingDeadline: Averted. As soon as he gets Nami, he knocks her out, dresses her up, and brings her to the altar.

One of the main antagonists of the Thriller Bark arc, Dr. Hogback was a world-famous surgeon whose skills were considered miraculous, and disappeared ten years before the beginning of the main storyline. Chopper once idolized him, and is surprised to discover he was in Thriller Bark all along. He claimed to the Straw Hats that he arrived on the island to study the zombies about. He is assisted with his zombie servant, Victoria Cindry, is prone to smashing plates and [[ServileSnarker making cutting remarks especially about him]].

The crew later discover that he was the one who helped create the zombies, and is working for one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea: Gekko Moriah. He reveals to Chopper and Robin the truth of his disappearance and involvement with Moriah: He hated the fame his skills as a doctor gave him, and that Victoria Cindry was a celebrity he fell in love with, but died in an accident. Depressed over the news of her death, he resigned. However, Moriah contacted him with the promise of bringing Cindry back to life, and so he stole her corpse and disappeared to Thriller Bark, reviving her as a zombie, and creating Moriah's undead army.
----
* BaitTheDog: When the Straw Hats arrived outside his mansion, he was quite genial and welcoming of them, claiming that he came to Thriller Bark to study the zombies and learn the nature between life and death. It's soon revealed that he actually was the co-creator of the zombies of Thriller Bark, and the more that was learned about him, the more increasingly unpleasant he turned out to be.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: The guy has some very comical moments, especially with Victoria Cindry, but he's possibly one of the most loathsome villains in the entire series, approaching as bad as Spandam, when he delivers his MotiveRant and [[KickTheDog his treatment of the zombified Cindry]] near the end of the Thriller Bark arc.
* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: With Cindry.
* BrokenPedestal: To Chopper.
* CelebCrush: For Victoria Cindry.
%%* CoolShades[=/=]SinisterShades
* DrJerk: In his backstory: Despite his world-renowned skills a doctor, he later became disillusioned with his job as more patients came to him begging for his miraculous talents, and the only reason why he even continued was not of a desire to help people but for the money. He became even worse even Moriah employed him.
* EvilLaugh: Gives a high-pitched "Fosfosfosfosfos!"
* FangsAreEvil: His canines stick out quite a bit.
* FatBastard: His body is egg-shaped.
* AGodAmI: Boasted to have achieved a skill in medicine that doctors could only dream to: mastery of life and death, through the creation of the zombies at Thriller Bark.
* KickTheDog: Orders the zombified Cindry to kneel, he kicks her and then orders her to lick the floor. He then admits that he does not care for Cindry's personality, only the beauty she had.
* MadDoctor
* MadeOfIron[=/=]UnexplainedRecovery: He somehow survived Oars stomping on him.
* MoralityPet: Victoria Cindry when she was alive. She was the only patient of his that he cared for, and even had a crush on her. However, she turned down his offer to marry her, as she was already engaged, and shortly had an accident and died. This made Hogback twisted in his pursuit to conquer all ailments, even death itself.

[[folder:Chief Warden Magellan[[spoiler:, now Vice Warden]]]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Magellan_TV_Tropes.png
-->"Never forget that I have both the power ''and'' the authority to execute you all right now!"

->Voiced by: Mitsuaki Hoshino (JP)

Magellan is the chief warden of Impel Down, the most feared and impenetrable dungeon in the One Piece world. As such, he is a very imposing man with a very stern, business-like manner. Even when things get out of hand, he keeps up his professional manner, inspiring hope and admiration in much of the prison staff. Forms a bit of an OddCouple with Vice-Warden Hannyabal, a CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass [[TheStarscream Starscream]], who, despite his eccentricities, Magellan endorses as his successor.

Magellan has the power of poison, granted by the Venom-Venom Fruit (''Doku Doku no Mi''), and is consequently one of the most dangerous fighters in the story. He can cover himself and others with poisonous corrosive slime, and emit posion gas (which he's able to breathe). The effects of his poison can manifest themselves in a variety of ways, from blinding tear gas to paralyzing neurotoxins. As a side effect, Magellan has taken a liking to actually ingesting poison, and while it can't kill him, it gives him severe bowel troubles, forcing him to spend much of his time relieving himself. After the Impel Down arc, he got beaten to an inch of his life and had to be hospitalized and sedated to prevent him from killing himself. He eventually got over it, but was still demoted to Vice Warden during the TimeSkip, much to his dismay.
----
* AdvancingWallOfDoom: Is seen as this by most of the prisoners. And for good reason. And he really becomes this when he uses Venom Demon.
* AnimalMotifs: His face is quite similar to that of a baboon.
* AntiVillain[=/=]HeroAntagonist: Many fans see him and the less-evil members of the Impel Down staff in this light, as they do their jobs to ensure normal, ordinary citizens can rest easy knowing murderers, rapists, and thieves are safely locked away.
* ArcVillain: He's the primary antagonist of the Impel Down arc, and never appears following that arc, but by no means an actual villain.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: As the prison warden of Impel Down, he enjoys reminding unruly prisoners who is ''the boss''. [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath By melting them]].
* {{Badass}}: [[CurbStompBattle Curb-stomping]] the {{Determinator}} main protagonist with minimal damage and absolutely no comeback from said {{Determinator}} protagonist? Check. Tearing through hordes of rebelling prisoners without breaking a sweat and leaving no survivors? Check. [[OneHitKill One-shotting]] [[spoiler:the Blackbeard Pirates]] ''simultaneously''?. '''''Check'''''. The position of Chief Warden of Impel Down must require "{{Badass}}" to be present on the resume.
* BadBoss: Subverted with Hannyabal. Despite their bickering, they get along occasionally. Played straight with other subordinates as he usually breathes poison gas on them to keep them in line. Also, he doesn't show any hesitation of using his poison attacks while they are in the vicinity.
* BadPowersGoodPeople: You'd think there wouldn't be much "good" to do with a power that revolves entirely around fatally poisoning mass amounts of people. But Magellan put it to good use by becoming the warden of world's toughest prison, where most of the inmates certainly deserve a good poison bath.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: His horns are detachable and can be worn on his hands to function as this. He can also infuse them with his poison to make them more lethal.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Spends very little time actually doing his job on account of being occupied in the bathroom suffering intense bouts of diarrhea for several hours a day, but God help you if you have to actually face him. A slight subversion in his case though, as when Shiliew was still Head Jailer (replaced by Sadi Chan), Shiliew was actually considered more dangerous because he was actually around more often, and likely too competent for his job for his own good.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Initially on his first appearance he was a CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass who was as lecherous as his vice warden and acts slightly goofy on the job, but when compared to his later characterization of a completely NoNonsenseNemesis who takes his job very seriously and is extremely unfettered in his devotion to his position, it's rather amazing to see the difference.
** To be fair, that was before everything in the prison went to shit.
* CombatPragmatist: He has his silly moments, but during fights, he does ''not'' screw around. When he runs across [[spoiler:Blackbeard's crew]], he doesn't even bother asking why they're there without official permission; he just [[OneHitKill one-shots]] them all on sight.
* CurbStompBattle: Him vs Luffy. Guess who won? Hint: It wasn't Luffy.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: When he realizes that the inmates are about to reach Level 1, he orders his men to withdraw all the boats surrounding Impel Down, preventing them from escape. Though Jimbei, Crocodile, and Mr. 1 manage to secure a boat, they are too far away to get the rest of the inmates back. Magellan's plan would have very well worked had it not been for [[spoiler: [[SpannerInTheWorks Ivankov surviving his poison and using his body as a makeshift life raft]].]] He also had the good sense to realize that when [[spoiler:Blackbeard and his crew]] decided to show up, they were definitely up to no good, and he didn't even bother asking why they were there and just demolished them on sight.
* DeadlyGas: His power.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Dresses like an SS officer and uses poison gas... Oy.
* TheDreaded: Most characters react to the idea of Magellan appearing the same way--with an OhCrap. The only people that ever try to pick a fight with him are usually over confident, unaware of his strength, or TooDumbToLive.
* DrivenToSuicide: He's so distraught about allowing so many prisoners to escape Impel Down that he has to be sedated to keep him from killing himself in shame.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: AxCrazy Chief Jailer Shiliew's rampages across Impel Down killing off prisoners had made Magellan less than pleased, particularly as he had no damn reason for doing so, and he was forced to imprison him in Level Six as he was far too dangerous to be ignored.
** Subverted/justified in that he's not actually evil, just an [[HeroAntagonist antagonist]].
* GodzillaThreshold: Faced with a prison riot, an escape attempt involving countless Level 6 prisoners, ''and'' [[spoiler:the sudden appearance of Blackbeard]], he [[spoiler:authorizes Shiliew's temporary release]] to deal with the latter. He really, ''really'' didn't want to resort to that, but considering Impel Down was being attacked by no less than three separate groups at once (two of which containing some ''serious'' heavy hitters), he was kind of out of options. And too bad for him, it didn't end well.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: [[spoiler: After getting in another fight with the Blackbeard Pirates, he gets beaten badly and is left with some scars on his face.]]
* HeroAntagonist: He's brutal, but still fair and reasonable; the only reason that he's even coming into conflict with Luffy is because Luffy's goals (freeing Ace) just so happens to conflict with his own (keeping order and making sure that a bunch of incredibly powerful and dangerous criminals stay locked up). If it wasn't for the conflict of interest, he'd be more than happy to live and let live.
* HornAttack: His "horns" are actually detachable and he can wear them on his hands as weapons.
* ImplacableMan: In the second half of the Impel Down arc, he's basically an AdvancingWallOfDoom. No one wants to fight him, anyone who gets caught in his poison is left for dead so more people don't die, and by the last chapter of the arc, only a ''very'' small percentage of the original escapees manage to get out alive.
** [[spoiler:Subverted off-screen. Turns out he got beaten to within an inch of his life after Luffy left, in Magellan vs. The Blackbeard Pirates, Round 2]].
* ItsPersonal: He was only trying to stop Luffy from escaping because it was his job. But when [[spoiler: he finds Hanniybal beaten badly from his fight with Luffy]], that only gave him ''more'' motivation to stop Luffy.
* TheJuggernaut: Let's be clear about something. The entire second half of the Impel Down Arc basically amounts to Luffy and the gang ''running away from this guy''. And that's not even going into when he uses Venom Demon...
* LargeAndInCharge: He's both tall ''and'' broad.
* MadeOfIron: ''And how!'' Even by the standards of this show, Magellan is ridiculously durable. The man's tanked everything from bullets to cannon fire and it doesn't seem to even faze him. Even Luffy's Gear Second attacks, which could seriously injure a normal opponent and send them flying through a room, can at the most bring him to his knees. The only ''real'' wound he suffers is a blow to the forehead from his fight with Ivankov, not that it did much. [[spoiler:This record gets broken when he is beaten by the Blackbeard Pirates, who give him some scars on his face.]]
* MakeAnExampleOfThem: If you fuck with him in front of other prisoners, he will reduce you to sludge on the spot to show them what happens when you piss him off. It's quite good at helping him maintain order because no one wants to be the next "example".
* MightyGlacier: Never moves at a pace faster than a brisk walk. He moves faster using Venom Road, but he only does so to reach places he can't get to via walking.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Luffy tried to do what had always worked until then and thought being TheDeterminator would let him blow right past Magellan. It didn't end well for him.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: He does ''not'' fuck around. If he thinks you're a threat, he doesn't even bother asking any questions and just goes straight for the kill.
* ObviouslyEvil: Subverted; despite his appearance and what not, his goals and motives are only technically evil in the sense that [[ProtagonistCenteredMorality they conflict with Luffy's]]. If anything, he's more of a KnightTemplar, in that anyone who comes to his prison must be a terrible criminal. For the most part, he's correct. However, he does work for the [[TheGovernment World Government]], which means that people they deem as too dangerous, which could be even as simple as political dissidents, could land there.
* OneManArmy: He could kill every single person in Impel Down if he wanted to.
* TheParalyzer: He can generate all kinds of poisons, including paralytics.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: He could potentially destroy all of Impel Down if he decided to.
* PoisonIsCorrosive: His ultimate poison ''Kinjite'' (literally "Foul Hand"), which he uses in Hell's Judgement technique, which he's forbidden from using because it can potentially ''melt all of Impel Down''.
* PoisonousPerson: His Devil Fruit allows him to produce and control different types of poisons, from toxic gas to paralytic neurotoxins and all the way to hyper-corrosive acid.
* PunchClockVillain: The most straight up example here. He is merely doing his job and keeping dangerous inmates in prison. He only comes into conflict with Luffy because the latter is attempting to break Ace out of jail, something he cannot allow.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Well, his poison is a [[PurpleIsTheNewBlack sickly purple]] looking colour and is a powerful paralysis-inducing toxin.
* PuttingOnTheReich: He and most of Impel Down's staff dress ''very'' similarly to Nazis, right down to the armband.
** But you have to admit how undeniably cool he looks.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When he summons his ''Kinjite'' poison. The sign that you ''really'' should run away.
* RedRightHand: Subverted. Despite his demonic appearance and Bulgori-like hands, he is only evil in the fact that he's working for the World Government, and is just trying to keep bloodthirsty criminals behind bars.
* ShapingYourAttacks: Hydra and Hell's Judgment.
* SuperpowerLottery: Magellan's ability to manipulate poison makes him a '''very''' deadly opponent. His ability to coat himself in a layer of poison makes it nigh impossible for opponents to fight him in close combat without killing themselves. And if you try to run away, he has many ranged options such as Hydra, Venom Blowfish or Venom Road. When he really means it, he can also use Hell's Judgement above. And even without his poison, Magellan himself is a hulking tank of a man who is ungodly tough to take down. With this kind of powerset, is it any wonder he's the warden of a maximum security prison?
* TechnicolorToxin: Usually purple, unless he gets mad. In that case it turns red.
* TerrorHero: Well, not a hero by any means, but in the grand scheme of things, he's generally a morally good character whose take-no-shit attitude and tendency to go straight for the kill is designed to sow fear among prisoners to help make maintaining order easier. Given the fact that the prison holds some of the world's worst criminals and a breakout would spell disaster, this is not the worst approach to take.
* TouchOfDeath: Played Straight and Subverted, in a way. If you're a normal person (as in not a {{Determinator}}), you'll die if he touches you all right; but it won't be painless and instantaneous. You will ''suffer''.
* TranquilFury: Spends the second half of the arc boiling mad from everything that's happening but keeping it all under the surface.
* TykeBomb: [[http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130304175043/onepiece/images/3/36/Kid_Magellan.png A sbs reveals]] that he had his Poison abilities since he was a small child, [[UsedToBeASweetKid but fortunately]] Magellan just didn't have the disposition to effectively use it then. [[PowerIncontinence He also didn't]] have a very happy childhood because of it either.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Despite his arguments with [[TheStarscream Hannyabal]], [[spoiler: Magellan is noticeably upset when he finds him defeated by Luffy and states that he will not accept anyone else as his successor if he dies.]]
* WalkingWasteland: The Venom Demon technique.
* WingedHumanoid: Has two large wings on his back to go with his overall devil motif.
* WingsDoNothing: And apparently they are just a part of his uniform.
* YouShallNotPass: He's determined to not let '''''anyone''''' out of Impel Down.

-->"I have a message for the whole world! All you pathetic commoners out there who cling to peace! You too, Marines! And the World Government! And of course, the pirates of the world! The future of this world has just been decided... Zehahahaha! That's right! From now on... THIS IS '''MY ERA'''! Zehahaha... ZEHAHAHAHA!!"

->Voiced by: Creator/AkioOhtsuka (JP), Cole Brown (EN)

An ambitious former member of the Whitebeard Pirates whose fate seems entwined with Luffy's. He ate the Dark-Dark Fruit (''Yami Yami no Mi''), a Logia which affords him the awesome power of darkness. All-in-all, a somewhat difficult man to read. Like others with the initial "D." in their names, he's kind of a big deal.

Initially he started off as a no-name pirate, whose only relevance in the story was that he killed one of Whitebeard's crew and ran off, with big goals that had his sights set on Luffy to kickstart his plan. However, Ace intercepted him and the two clashed. Blackbeard won and turned Ace over to the Marines, securing a position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. However, it was just a means to an end to enter Impel Down during the Marineford war and recruit some high-bounty pirates into his crew. He then headed to Marineford and had his crew help gang up on Whitebeard and kill him. Somehow taking Whitebeard's earthquake power for his own before departing when Shanks arrived. Two years later, it's revealed he took over WB's territory (since being in his crew, he knew every location they've been to) and is now one of the Four Emperors. His crew are now searching for high level Devil Fruit users to kill so they can take their powers for their own.
-----
* {{Archnemesis}}: To Luffy himself; who holds Blackbeard chief responsible for Marineford and all that went wrong there, most of all being [[MyGreatestFailure Ace's death]], regardless of Blackbeard having not ''physically'' sealed the matter.. It may be mutual, given in their first conversation since then in Dressrosa, Blackbeard seemed unsettlingly delighted that Luffy was back in the game.
* AlmightyJanitor: He was in the service of Whitebeard for over 22 years, and was offered the spot of 2nd Division commander when it was vacant, due to his strength, durability, and [[EpilepticTrees maybe]] knowledge of Haki, but he declined, saying he had no such ambitions, giving his support to Ace. Long story short, [[FaceHeelTurn he lied]].
** In addition, he became a Warlord with a former bounty of 0, being an absolute unknown before then.
* {{Badass}}: As a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, this guy took on Shanks and gave him three scars, and that was ''before'' he ate the Dark-Dark Fruit. After his betrayal, he defeats Ace, one of Whitebeard's division leaders, with little effort. ''Then'', through a combination of [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority strength]] and [[XanatosSpeedChess shrewd planning]], he assembled a [[BadassCrew crew]] from Impel Down, the most dangerous prison in the world, culminating in [[spoiler: killing Whitebeard '''and stealing his Devil Fruit power!''' Put simply, there's a '''damn''' good reason he was able to replace Whitebeard as one of the Four Emperors.]]
* BadassBoast: "THIS IS '''MY ERA'''!"
* BaitTheDog: He seemed nice to Luffy and his crew, but the Marineford Arc gave us a true idea of his personality as someone who is more concerned with power than TrueCompanions.
* BatmanGambit: Successfully playing off of Whitebeard's familial protectiveness of his 'children'? Using the war to infiltrate Impel Down and double his crew size knowing the whole world's attention would be on Marineford? Certainly qualifies.
* BigBad: Shaping up to be the FinalBoss.
* BigBadEnsemble: Kick-started the Whitebeard War, [[spoiler:became an Emperor after killing Whitebeard himself]], and currently ties with Sakazuki as the primary antagonist for the series.
* BeardOfEvil: It took three costume changes, but he finally got one.
* BigDamnVillains: During the [[spoiler:Impel Down arc]], Luffy is having a tough time getting [[spoiler:Hannyabal]] to stay down. Blackbeard then shows up and knocks him out in one shot.
** He also pulls a spectacular one just as [[spoiler:Whitebeard is going to town on the Marines after Ace's death]]. He even [[spoiler:recruited several new crew members from Impel Down. His crew descends on Whitebeard and kills him]].
* BigEater: He debuts in a seemingly throwaway scene in which he attempts to match Luffy pound for pound in food. [[{{Foreshadowing}} They just happen to have opposite tastes]].
* BlessedWithSuck: His Dark-Dark powers have some drawbacks. It's unique among the Logias in that it ''doesn't'' make him [[SuperSmoke immune to physical strikes]] (he in fact speculates that it might even make them hurt ''more'') and projectiles are slightly drawn to him.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Blackbeard will step on anyone to achieve his goals, and appears incapable of understanding the concept of "grudges". For example, when Ace confronts him about killing Thatch, he pretty much brushes off the issue and invites Ace to join his crew, despite it being painfully obvious that Ace has come for vengeance.
* BoisterousBruiser: He's big, cheerful, idealistic, AffablyEvil, cares for the well-being of his men, is a BigEater matching Luffy, and [[BloodKnight loves a good fight]]. If anything, what makes his actions unnerving is that he doesn't seem to have an "off" switch for his friendliness, as seen when he cheerfully addresses Ace and tries to recruit him while planning to murder Luffy.
* BullyingADragon: Mocks Whitebeard to his face, insulting his inability to [[spoiler: save Ace]] and the fact that his [[PersonOfMassDestruction devil fruit]] is useless against Blackbeard's [[PowerNullifier own.]] Whitebeard responds with a spear to the shoulder and a quake-punch that has Teach begging for his life.
* CaptainColorbeard: Just like his namesake.
* CastingAShadow: The Dark-Dark Fruit's power literally lets him generate shadows.
* TheChessmaster: At this point, he's likely on par with Crocodile's cunning. His plan to become the Pirate King has so far included [[spoiler:throwing his former commander to the World Government to detract attention away from himself. ''Using'' that feat in order to become a Warlord of the Sea to gain access to Impel Down. Relying on the whole world being too focused on the Marines' war against Whitebeard (over the aforementioned commander) to notice him breaking into Impel Down and recruiting the worst criminals held there into his crew. Finally, showing up in the middle of said war to kill Whitebeard and steal his Devil Fruit power]]. Damn...
** Well, he didn't flat out plan out all of that at one time. See XanatosSpeedChess below.
** XanatosSpeedChess doesn't make him any less of a {{Chessmaster}}.
* ChewingTheScenery: The quote above, among others.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Did this to every superior he encountered in his pirate career. Second Commander Ace and Captain Whitebeard of the Whitebeard Pirates (it's even implied that he did this literally to Thatch in the anime), and the World Government as he renounced his Warlord title, [[spoiler:after freeing several Level 6 Impel Down prisoners]]. Although, it seems one of his new crewmembers may have this.
* CurbstompBattle: In spite of all the power he wields and the threat level that he was shown to pose, he ''still'' [[spoiler: lost badly to Whitebeard with very little effort on Whitebeard's part (a Whitebeard that was about one step away from death, to boot) and would have been killed if his crew hadn't stepped in to save his ass]].
* DarkAndTroubledPast: In spite of every trait described about him making him a completely immoral and ruthless man [[spoiler: [[http://images.wikia.com/onepiece/images/c/c2/Kid_blackbeard.PNG this drawing by Oda for an idea of what the Warlords were like as children]] implies that he's not as simply evil as we though him to be. And out of all of them, he's the only one looking miserable, meaning he must've suffered a great deal before he became the way he is now]]
* DarkIsEvil: He even went out of his way to claim his darkness powers are the most evil of all Devil Fruits. Considering he can completely nullify other Devil Fruit powers, there might be more to this claim than it being a simple boast...
* DishingOutDirt: He now posseses the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
* DirtyCoward: Surprising, given how he carries the Will of D. and yet faces death with cowardice. [[spoiler: When Whitebeard is about to kill him, he has the audacity to cry about Whitebeard killing his own son. This is right after Teach mocked him and killed his subordinates. He then adds on by wimpering and cowering before him.]]
* DrunkOnTheDarkSide: He's always been a LargeHam, but when [[spoiler:he gets the powers of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit]] he goes full-blast into this trope.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: For all his less admirable qualities, even ''he'' has more empathy than [[GeneralRipper Akainu]].
* EvilCounterpart: Another one for Luffy, and also the best fit for the trope. In addition, the rest of his crew also shadow other members of Straw Hats.
** Just take a look at Teach's Black Hole stance--it's almost ''picture-perfect'' for Gear Second's stance, save for the open palm as opposed to closed fist. Now, contrast the black "smoke" of the Yami Yami no Mi to the white steam that comes off of Luffy. If this doesn't set off some parallel alarms, nothing's gonna.
** This becomes even more clear with [[spoiler:the addition of Shiliew who, being a master swordsman]], is a pretty obvious shadow of Zoro.
** Another similar trait is his own talent to get powerful pirates to join him. And at least in his original crew (if not necessarily his expanded one) EvilIsOneBigHappyFamily.
** Also both Blackbeard and Luffy were recognized by Shanks as having great potential; he saves Luffy's life at the cost of his own arm, and he warns the powerful Ace not to tangle with Blackbeard.
* EvilLaugh: "Zehahahah" is pretty much the most common thing to come out of this guy's mouth, almost to the point of a VerbalTic.
%%* EvilOverlord
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Subverted. One of the biggest indicators that he ''isn't'' a true inheritor of the mysterious "Will of D" is that when he is in immediate life-threatening danger and has a legitimate chance of dying, he starts begging for his life like the DirtyCoward that he is.
* TheFatalist: This is his crew's central motif and belief.
%%* FatBastard
* FauxAffablyEvil: He'll appear friendly at first, but then he could quickly switch to mocking and killing people in a heartbeat. All while still wearing the same smile.
* ForWantOfANail: Pretty much everything that's happened recently (minus Sabaody) is connected to his killing of Thatch and capture of Ace.
* FriendlyEnemy: For the most part, anyway. He had nothing but encouragement and praise for [[spoiler:Ace and, later, Luffy, and then later Whitebeard]], but he brutally dismissed [[spoiler:Hannyabal]]'s belief in the pursuit of justice.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: From a GiantMook to [[PsychoForHire Warlord of the Sea]] to [[spoiler:Emperor]].
* GeniusBruiser: Doesn't seem like it at first, but he is a rather cunning planner. So much so that he's able to manipulate [[spoiler:the World Government, and use them to find new crew mates]].
* GiantMook: See AlmightyJanitor above. Because he kept his head down a lot, he served this role to Whitebeard instead. Until the Dark-Dark Fruit came along, that is.
* GlassCannon: His Devil Fruit is considered one of the strongest, but it also makes him receive double damage from enemy attacks.
%%* {{Gonk}}
* GravityMaster: One of the central powers of the Dark-Dark Fruit, and a staple of his attack pattern thus far.
* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: He does this to Jewelry Bonney after he defeats her crew and captures her. Her response? A kick to the face, after which he expresses that's a very unlady-like thing to do.
* ItsAllAboutMe: To him, it doesn't matter how many died in the Paramount War, or from the various problems afterwards, [[spoiler:like a release of who knows how many evil Pirates from Level Six or the surge in new Pirates]], all directly or indirectly from his own actions. As long as he [[spoiler:becomes Pirate King]], it's all good.
* {{Jerkass}}: Hints of this are given in his fight with Ace, but he fully becomes one once he meets Luffy again.
* JustBetweenYouAndMe: Inverted. He doesn't tell you phases of his plans until ''after'' they played out. This is confirmed when [[TheChessmaster fellow schemer]] and predecessor Crocodile asks him why [[spoiler:he would throw away his Warlord title]] so soon, only for him to reply it's none of his business. He would later reveal that the only reason he had [[spoiler:the title in the first place is to break into Impel Down and take the world's worst criminals as his crewmembers, while his former captain prepares for battle with his former allies]].
* KickTheSonOfABitch: When he went to Impel Demon [[spoiler: to get a new crew]] he had the Level 6 prisoners [[spoiler: kill each other in order to find the remaining members for his crew]]. But, considering they're all unrepentant criminals who were implied to be rotten to the core...
* KlingonPromotion: [[spoiler:He became one of the Four Emperors by killing his predecessor Whitebeard.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: The tone of of the story tends to get more dramatic and dangerous whenever he gets involved, case in point being he essentially set off the events of Marineford single-handedly.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Even if you [[spoiler:get Whitebeard's powers]], if you don't know much about it yet, like he has admitted to, it wouldn't do much against a guy [[spoiler:like Shanks]], not to mention Sengoku, the rest of the Warlords, the Admirals, and the rest of Whitebeard's crew. Probably why he wisely [[spoiler:withdrew from Marineford]].
** This happened again much later on when he attempted to make a prisoner trade with the World Government. After he noticed that they sent Akainu, he immediately called it off and got the hell out of there. He ''may'' have been able to take him, but when you're dealing with a homicidal maniac like Akainu who would be more than happy to wipe out your entire crew, you don't leave anything to chance.
* LargeAndInCharge: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Although he is 11'3", he's not the biggest member of his crew. [[spoiler:Vasco Shot, who seems to be around the range of Kuma/Moria, i.e. 22 feet, towers over Blackbeard]]. And that's not even getting started on [[spoiler:San Juan Wolf, who looks to be as tall as the Sears Tower]].
* LargeHam: When he can get time to tell someone of his thoughts and plans, he explodes with it, like the quote above.
* MadeOfIron: It takes a lot to bring him down, and it's easy to do it, him being so slow. Too bad for him [[spoiler:Magellan exploited his weakness by flooding out his pain neuroceptors]].
* ManOfKryptonite: To any Devil Fruit users.
* ManipulativeBastard: Notice how [[AffablyEvil he often talks to his enemies in a calm and friendly manner]]? That's to get ''someone's guard down'' before he attacks.
** And how he's been in wait during the whole [[spoiler:Paramount War]], but only reveals himself once both sides are very much weakened?
** Forcing [[spoiler:the inmates of Level Six to kill each other]] in order to get a chance to [[spoiler:escape as members of his crew can count]].
* NecessaryDrawback: His gravity powers can suck in Devil Fruit powers and drag opponents closer to him. They also subtly attract projectiles toward his body, making him reliant on his own toughness.
* NighInvulnerability: Subverted. Despite the Dark-Dark Fruit being a Logia-type, which had thus far featured this trope as a tandard feature of its power-sets, its abilities actually make Teach ''more'' vulnerable to physical damage than normal. Of course, being an incredibly powerful individual as he is, he's still not easy to put down, despite this handicap.
* NothingPersonal: Says this about killing Thatch. He had nothing against him, it was just the only way to get his Devil Fruit. This is also his general attitude about Ace, Luffy, Whitebeard, and anyone else he screws over. While he ''did'' turn Ace in to the World Government, that was only because Ace refused his [[WeCanRuleTogether offer to join his crew]] and attacked him. And though he originally intended to capture Luffy and turn him instead, it was simply because of his bounty. Otherwise he encourages Luffy to follow his dreams and even wished him luck in rescuing Ace. As far as Whitebeard, he even admits that he admired him, it's just that he feels Whitebeard's time is over. Whitebeard however sees the murder of Thatch as a ''very'' personal insult.
* NotSoDifferent: Seems to think he and Luffy are on a similar level with their [[MightMakesRight powerful ambitions]] and huge dreams. Luffy seems to agree since he's very disturbed by Blackbeard's BlackAndGrayMorality and the implications it presents.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Received one from [[spoiler: a very nearly dead Whitebeard that would have resulted in his death if his crew hadn't stepped in]].
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Someone ''really'' should have taken a closer look at this guy after he managed to give '''Shanks''' a permanent scar in a head-on clash, ''before'' eating his Devil Fruit.
* ObviouslyEvil: He has a mouth filled with gaps for starters.
* OneOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Seems to be a reoccuring theme with him: He is pretty much the only pirate in the series that explicitly does not have a bounty, he was the only member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea not to have an animal motif (though he [[spoiler:resigned from the position later after [[XanatosSpeedChess getting what he wanted from it]] and various merchandise from the series have depicted him as a hippopotamus]]), he is the only Devil Fruit user to be able to use ''two'' Devil Fruit powers, he's the only Logia type Devil Fruit user who is unable to turn into the element he uses to become invulnerable to normal attacks, and he is the only person with the initial of D to show outright fear when faced with his own death and the only one to show extreme levels of disloyality and immorality.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: His darkness powers can engulf half an island by himself, and now he's [[spoiler:stolen Whitebeard's power to create earthquakes and tsunamis]].
* PowerCopying: It seems that because of his own unique body structure, [[spoiler:he can absorb the powers of at least one other Devil Fruit from corpses, and he was after Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit power]]. Post-TimeSkip, he's said to be hunting after others to do the same to them.
* PowerNullifier: His power allows him to cancel the abilities of other Fruit users while he remains in contact with them. Unfortunately, as Whitebeard was all too happy to teach him, this does ''nothing'' to reduce the power of an unaided physical attack.
* PowerOfTheVoid: The Darkness can absorb anything into it, literally erasing it from our world. Of course, he can also expel it.
* PowerParasite: In the final stages of the Battle of Marineford, Blackbeard [[spoiler: steals Whitebeard's Devil Fruit]]. Post-timeskip he goes after even ''more''.
* PsychoRangers: His crew serves as this to the Straw Hats. To wit, there are similarities between Luffy and Blackbeard (similar belief in dreams, the Will of D, so on), Zoro and Shilliew (both master swordsmen), Chopper and Doc Q (doctors), Van Augur and Usopp (snipers), and Jesus Burgess and Franky (helmsmen, strongmen, etc.). The other members of the crew have not demonstrated their abilities much, but it's fairly likely that they will compliment the Straw Hats in some way as well.
* RousingSpeech: To the ''Straw Hats'' on their first meeting. He compliments them on sticking up to their beliefs and assures them that some fights aren't worth it with fools like Bellamy. It's enough to leave ''Luffy'' speechless.
* ShockwaveClap: The Quake Punch at a longer distance.
* SphereOfDestruction: He can also use the Quake Bubble now too.
* StoutStrength: Is a very big man, but incredibly strong and durable.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cherry pies. Every time we see him eating it's always cherry pies.
* {{Ubermensch}}: He rejects the increasing Pirate beliefs of not believing in the future, seeks to bring a New Age, is a firm believer in personal strength and morals (primarily dreams, in his case), is very charismatic, and incredibly good at [[TheChessmaster shaping the world to his will]].
* WolverineClaws: Seen sporting at least one in a flashback in Chapter 645.
* TheWorfEffect: Happened twice. First time was when he and his crew encountered Magellan, who didn't even bother asking them just what the hell they were up to (considering that he was already dealing with a riot and a mass escape attempt that involved some ''incredibly'' dangerous people, that was probably the wisest course of action) and just flooded all of them with poison, Blackbeard included, and the second time involved Whitebeard demonstrating just how many fucks he gave about Blackbeard's Devil Fruit by absolutely pulverizing him, and if it wasn't for Blackbeard's crew stepping in in the latter case, he definitely would have been killed.
* WrongContextMagic: Both the Dark-Dark Fruit compared to other Logias, and his ability to [[spoiler:possess multiple Devil Fruit powers]].
* XanatosSpeedChess: He [[InformedAbility claims to be playing Speed Chess]]; in his own words, he has a plan, but circumstances keep changing and he's adapting the plan to fit the bumps along the way. For example, he wasn't going to bother following his original plan to bring in Luffy for a bounty after Ace caught up with him. Once the plan is fully laid out, it looks a lot more like a Roulette with all of the things that went his way. Though a lot of that was probably just luck, and his fortunes may change in the future.
** Not a joke: The reason he became a Warlord of the Sea? To [[spoiler: gain the opportunity to break into Impel Down]].
** Considering that he needed the Warlord position [[spoiler:to break into Impel Down and release the Level 6 prisoners eventually]], he was probably planning to [[spoiler:confront Whitebeard at some point, anyway]]. Realizing that Ace was hounding him made things go even faster and [[GambitRoulette everything falling into place easier]].

->Voiced by: [[CelebrityVoiceActor Naoto Takenaka]] (JP), ScottMcNeil (EN)

"The Flying Pirate" Gold Lion Shiki is a legendary pirate known for clashing with Gold Roger himself and for being the very first pirate to ever escape from Impel Down. His base of operations is a collection of [[FloatingContinent floating islands]], which he himself made with his Float-Float Fruit (''Fuwa Fuwa no Mi''), swarming with fierce animals called Merveille, from which he and his five-thousand strong crew plot their revenge on the world.
-----
* AccentAdaptation: A thick Jamaican accent in the English Dub.
* AnimalMotifs: The lion, of course. Not only does he have long, mane-like hair, Merveille is littered with MixAndMatchCritters (as the lion is the king of beasts). But to really drive the point home, he uses his powers to create roaring lions out of the surrounding enviroment.
* ArtificialLimbs: He uses swords as prosthetic legs. Really.
* AtopAMountainOfCorpses: Pulls this in Chapter 0.
* {{Badass}}: Inactive for twenty years, ''still fights off the entire Straw Hat crew by himself''. Even tanking some of their strongest attacks without even flinching.
* BlondGuysAreEvil: Golden-blonde.
* BullyingADragon: In Chapter/Episode 0, he tries to rescue Gold Roger from execution by going to Marineford alone and picking a fight with (then) Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp in the process. He lost easily and ended up in Impel Down as a result.
* ChunkyUpdraft: A pretty basic application of his powers.
* DidntSeeThatComing: Thinking Luffy will kill himself in the lightning storm [[spoiler: and finding it has no effect on Luffy (y'know, being made of rubber and all). It just ''super-charged'' Luffy's attack who brings it right down on Shiki.]]
* EvilPlan: Known for making these. His latest one spanned ''two decades'' in its formation.
* EvilLaugh: Jihahahaha.
* FantasticRacism: Has an irrational hatred of East Blue, as it's where Roger died, and Shiki found it a disgrace that such a great pirate would meet his end in the weakest of the seas. [[spoiler:Which ultimately is the reason he antagonizes the Straw Hats when they mention most of their members are from there. Also worth noting that the only two people to ever beat him were both born in East Blue.]]
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: He's seen chomping on an over-sized cigar fairly often, even while fighting.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: While being able to levitate things doesn't ''sound'' very impressive, the way he uses his power is ''very'' scary.
* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:Shiki's plans for world domination are stopped by a man from East Blue. Twice]].
* KillEmAll: [[spoiler:Shiki's plan for the inhabitants of his floating islands and the entirety of East Blue as a message to the world of his power.]]
* LargeHam: He loves to flamboyantly brag when he has the upper hand, though he calms down when he's serious.
* LaughablyEvil: When he's not shooting his own men out of anger, [[spoiler:oppressing villagers, [[SadisticChoice Sadistic Choicing]] people, or shoving their faces into poisonous substances]], he comes off as quite eccentric, performing dance routines to '70s espionage music, nicknaming people, and joking that DumbMuscle Scarlet reminds him of his mother.
* LifeOrLimbDecision: [[spoiler:He cut off his legs in order to escape from Impel Down]].
* LoadBearingBoss: The way his powers work is that once he levitates something, it stays in the air until either he decides to let it down himself, or he somehow loses control. [[spoiler:Once Luffy defeats him, the FloatingContinent ceases to float]].
* ManipulativeBastard: After seeing Nami's navigation skills, he'd already decided he wants her as his navigator, so he acted friendly around the Straw Hats before kidnapping her, and separating the crew across his island, and on the occassion that Nami escaped from his fortress and found the crew, he has visual Den Den Mushis around, so he could just go back for her [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown and kick the asses]] of the Straw Hats, and threaten to finish them off as well as her home-town, to bring her to his side. It's too bad Nami's a [[PluckyGirl better]] [[GuileHero schemer]]... and that she'd already been through similar crap with Arlong.
* MindOverMatter: Basically what his [=DF=] ability boils down to.
* OhCrap: His reaction when [[spoiler: the lightning he thought would kill Luffy only enhances his Gear 3 Gigant Leg and Luffy bringing it down his way.]]
* PlayingWithSyringes: The source of his monstrous animals is a special chemical called [=SIQ=], which [[HollywoodEvolution speeds up the evolutionary process]].
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: [[spoiler:He fancied himself Roger's rival, and couldn't possibly believe that the Marines had captured him. Since then, he's become highly jaded with the Great Pirate Era, believing that all of the pirates that came since Roger are mere treasure mongers]].
* PersonOfMassDestruction: Seeing on how he can throw ''islands'' at you...
* PowerFloats: Literally. His Devil Fruit allows him to fly and levitate other objects, up to and including [[strike:battleships]] ''islands''.
* RazorWind: Thanks to his sword-legs, he's capable of launching a flurry of air slashes while airborne.
* RedRightHand: The steering wheel lodged into his head and the two swords he uses for prosthetic legs.
* SayMyName: Just before [[spoiler:Luffy beats him, he screams out Roger's name.]]
* ShapingYourAttacks: Usually gargantuan lion heads.
* SlasherSmile: Variations. He sports a [[DissonantSerenity beaming grin]] as [[spoiler:he drops Marine battleships out of the sky]], has a smarmy smirk as [[spoiler:he coerces Nami into committing a FaceHeelTurn]], and finally goes on to a full-blown SlasherSmile while fighting Luffy.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Shiki constantly thinks Luffy and the Straw Hats are beneath him and doesn't take them at all seriously. Even when the crew comes bursting into his throne room just as the final phase of his plan is about to take off. And they throw the whole place into disarray. It ultimately leads to his downfall [[spoiler: when he doesn't bother attacking Luffy as he's charging up his final attack.]]
* VillainProtagonist: Was this in Chapter/Episode 0.
* VisualPun: Overlaps with StealthPun - he has the ''helm'' of a ship stuck in his head.
* WeCanRuleTogether: [[spoiler:To Roger. Apparently he thought that Roger knew the location of a weapon of mass desruction, and wanted Roger to join with his massive armada so they could TakeOverTheWorld. Roger, of course, declined, then curb-stomped his so-called "armada"]].
[[/folder]]

* [[spoiler: DeathSeeker: His thoughts to himself during his and Luffy's final battle reveal that he ''does'' recognize that following Doflamingo was the wrong choice; rather, he keeps attacking Luffy because he ''wants'' him to just kill him already, which he feels will bring him resolution. Needless to say, Luffy became ''extremely'' enraged at Doflamingo for driving him to this point.]]

-> Voiced by: MayumiTanaka (JP), Creator/ColleenClinkenbeard (EN)

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: When he realizes that the inmates are about to reach Level 1, he orders his men to withdraw all the boats surrounding Impel Down, preventing them from escape. Though Jimbei, Crocodile, and Mr. 1 manage to secure a boat, they are too far away to get the rest of the inmates back. Magellan's plan would have very well worked had it not been for [[spoiler: [[SpannerInTheWorks Ivankov surviving his poison and using his body as a makeshift life raft]].]]

* PoisonousPerson: His Devil Fruit allows him to produce and control different types of poisons, from toxic gas to paralytic ** neurotoxin to hyper-corrosive acid.

* ChekhovsGun: The Wootz Steel, which is a real metal, BTW, is what the pacifistas are made out of. The Pacifistas, which didn't appear until around 400 chapters later.

* OddNameOut: He is pretty much the only pirate in the series that explicitly does not have a bounty.
** He also is the only member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea not to have an animal motif, though he [[spoiler:resigned from the position later after [[XanatosSpeedChess getting what he wanted from it]]]].

* [=Badass=]: Inactive for twenty years, ''still fights off the entire Straw Hat crew by himself''. Even tanking some of their strongest attacks without even flinching.

* PsychoRangers: His crew serves as this to the Straw Hats. To wit, there are similarities between Luffy and Blackbeard (similar belief in dreams, the Will of D, so on), Zoro and Shilliew (both master swordsmen), Chopper and Doc Q (doctors), Van Augur and Usopp (snipers), and Jesus Burgess and Franky (helmsmen, strongmen, etc.). The newer members of the crew and Laffitte have not demonstrated their abilities much, but it's fairly likely that they will compliment the Straw Hats in some way as well.

* PsychoRangers: His crew serves as this to the Straw Hats.

* GeniusBruiser: One of the smartest people in East Blue.

* LoopholeAbuse: As long as it's for his advantege.

* MeaningfulName: Named after famed pirate Henry Morgan.
