| 17 | Paradise is the first part of the Grand Line, a notoriously difficult sea route. Although it is considered less dangerous than the [[Characters/OnePieceNewWorld New World]], it still has many islands that can be hazardous for sailors. The dangers include treacherous currents, monstrous sea creatures, and rival pirate crews. However, those brave and skilled enough to navigate this stretch of the Grand Line can reap great rewards. |

| 33 | |
| 34 | A huge whale who's waiting for a pirate crew he met fifty years ago to return as they promised... and has been smashing his head against the Red Line in sorrow ever since. He is cared for by a man named Crocus.\ |
| 35 | |
| 36 | When the Straw Hats first enter the Grand Line, they encounter him and he accidentally swallows the entire ''Going Merry''. After saving the whale from Baroque Works agents, who wanted to kill him to feed the bounty hunters of Whiskey Peak, Luffy challenges him for a quick fight and then paints his jolly roger on his head with the promise that, if it's still intact when they meet again, they'll have a rematch.\ |
| 37 | |
| 38 | Since then, Laboon patiently waits for Luffy's return and doesn't smash his head against the Red Line anymore. |
| 39 | ----- |
| 40 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Laboon is an oversized, friendly softie. Ships that annoy or challenge him merely [[GettingEatenIsHarmless get swallowed up]], but piss him off proper and he'll ''curb-stomp you''. |
| 41 | * ChekhovsGunman: After many chapters, Brook is revealed to be one of the Rumbar Pirates Laboon is waiting for. Upon hearing that Laboon is still waiting for the crew even fifty years later, Brook is determined as the only surviving (well, sorta) member to fulfill the promise to return to him. |
| 42 | * CoveredWithScars: From years of angrily smashing into the Red Line, Laboon's forehead is covered with scars. Luffy paints his jolly roger on the scars to prevent Laboon from hurting himself further. |
| 43 | * {{Determinator}}: He's too gigantic to venture beyond the first-half of the Grand Line, so repeatedly smashes against the mountain to find his beloved Rumbar Pirates who haven't returned after decades. Crocus feared the whale would eventually kill himself in the process until Luffy is able to give Laboon hope again [[ThePromise with the promise]] of a rematch fight at the condition Laboon doesn't ruin the painting on his head. Brook's flashbacks reveal Laboon was like this even as a baby whale, having followed the Rumbar Pirates to the lighthouse during a storm even after they (reluctantly) ignored him, trying to get him to return to his pod. |
| 44 | * EyeScream: Luffy gets so angry at him that he punches Laboon in the eye. |
| 45 | * GentleGiant: Laboon is a huge whale, but really kind. |
| 46 | * InconsistentSpelling: His name has sometimes been spelled as "Raboon". |
| 47 | * IntellectualAnimal: Laboon is heavily emotional and surprisingly understanding for a whale and can understand the motives behind people's actions. |
| 48 | * IWillWaitForYou: By the time he's introduced, he had spent the past fifty years waiting for the Rumbar Pirates to return. Luffy invokes this trope as well to prevent Laboon from hurting himself again. |
| 49 | * MysteriousAnimalSenses: Halfway round the world the Straw Hats find Laboon's dearest friend, Brook. Crocus comments on how Laboon seems to be in good spirits, which Laboon replies to with a triumphant roar, as if knowing that the Straw Hat Pirates and Brook will return. |
| 50 | * ThePromise: After engaging Laboon for a brief fight, Luffy paints a poor copy of the Straw Hats' Jolly Roger across his scars and promises Laboon that he would return to see him, under the guise of wanting a rematch, moving Laboon to tears of joy. Luffy warns Laboon that the insignia will wash away if Laboon continues hitting Reverse Mountain further, so Laboon has not hit the mountain since to keep his promise. |
| 51 | * RidiculouslyCuteCritter: At least as [[http://i41.tinypic.com/20t1d8i.jpg a baby whale]], Laboon was very adorable, especially when he listens to Rumbar Pirates' music. |
| 52 | * ShooTheDog: The Rumbar Pirates tried to do this to him when they were going to enter the Grand Line by ignoring him, hoping he would return to his pod. Laboon followed them to the lighthouse anyway, so they decided to make a promise to return to him instead. |
| 53 | * SuperToughness: He can feel pain, but due to his immense size, Laboon is resistant to most physical damage, as shown by his unrelenting headbutting of the Red Line. |
| 54 | * UndyingLoyalty: To the Rumbar Pirates. Even after fifty years since their departure, he still waits for them and hopes to reunite with them. |
| 55 | * WombLevel: Laboon's internal anatomy [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/4/4f/Laboon_interior.png/revision/latest?cb=20171006132205 is huge and complex]] thanks to Crocus operating it to take care of him. The ''Going Merry'' spends some chapters in his stomach, where the Straw Hats meet Crocus. |

| 60 | |
| 61 | An island where time is stuck into prehistoric age, and is populated by dinosaurs and extinct mammals. The only inhabitants are two giants, Dorry and Brogy, who have been living there for one hundred years to settle a dispute. It's also the reason this island is called such, because, compared to the giants, the island is a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin little garden]].\ |

| 73 | [[caption-width-right:350: Brogy]] |
| 74 | |
| 75 | Two Giants from the land of Elbaf who once resided on [[LostWorld Little Garden]]. Dorry "the Blue Oni" and Brogy "the Red Oni" were the co-captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates 100 years ago until they started a dispute that caused them to stay on Little Garden and abandon their crew. They have been fighting each other for years, so long in fact they have forgotten what they've been fighting about. It was over who caught the biggest Sea King.\ |
| 76 | |
| 77 | The Straw Hat Pirates befriend them on Little Garden and save them from Mr. 3's plot who's trying to capture them for their bounties. In exchange, they repay the Straw Hat Pirates by killing the giant goldfish sea monster that would have eaten them. |
| 78 | |
| 79 | They each have a bounty of 100,000,000 berries. They jointly hold one record for the oldest known active bounties, as they've both been wanted for over 100 years. |
| 80 | ----- |
| 81 | * AlmightyJanitor: Downplayed as 100 million berries each is a perfectly respectable and feared bounty… for Paradise pirates. In the New World, such a bounty is subpar when even 300 million bounty pirates are somewhat looked down upon. [[spoiler:Their appearance in the time skip however, proves them not only perfectly capable of thriving in the New World, but also powerful enough that together, with one stroke each, they cut the transformed Saint Ju Peter into 3 pieces, showing that their bounties don’t even come close to capturing how powerful they are. To be fair, since they've spent a century fighting on Little Garden, their bounties would probably be higher if they had been more active instead.]] |
| 82 | * BadassCape: Both of them wear capes befitting the badass giants they are. |
| 83 | * BarbaricBattleaxe: Brogy's weapon of choice, the Bruiser Axe. |
| 84 | * BattleAura: They both get one in the anime while using their special attack (see below). Dorry's is blue, Brogy's is red. |
| 85 | * BeardOfBarbarism: As befitting of Viking-style warriors, they have long beards. The beards reflect their weapons, with Brogy's being short and shaped like an axe's blade, while Dorry's is very long like his sword. |
| 86 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: |
| 87 | ** As openly friendly and genuinely affable as they are, they are both [[GoodIsNotSoft pirates]] and ''giants'' from [[HornyVikings Elbaf]] and will not hesitate to show their enemies [[ProudWarriorRaceGuys what that means]]. [[spoiler: When Kid arrives at Elbaf on Chapter 1079 and makes it very clear that he's going to attack their allies and their home, both Dorry and Brogy are almost ''[[SlasherSmile gleeful]]'' at the chance to utterly destroy Kid's ship and crew without mercy by using their [[SwordBeam Hakoku]] technique, pointing out that one could not expect to attack their homeland without having them retaliate. And then they proceed to utterly blow Kid's ship into splinters and utterly destroy his crew. It actually makes them look quite menacing.]] |
| 88 | ** When speaking with Nami and Luffy, Dorry casually mentions that some of the men that died on Little Garden died "trying to fight [him and Brogy]". |
| 89 | * {{BFS}}: Dorry's weapon of choice, the Terry Sword, is a sword longer than his own arm. |
| 90 | * BigDamnHeroes: Literally. They show up during the [[spoiler:Egghead Arc to provide some much needed assistance for the Straw Hats, as well as a means of escape, by breaking through a 100-ship Navy fleet.]] |
| 91 | * BigFun: Brogy, both figuratively and literally, is rounder than Brogy and a bit more joyful. |
| 92 | * TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:Chapter 1076 shows us that their ForeverWar has seemingly ended, considering that they are back on Elbaf alongside the Red-Haired Pirates.]] |
| 93 | * CombinationAttack: Their signature move Hakoku, which combines the force from both of their swings into a mighty beam capable of blasting a hole straight through a giant sea monster [[spoiler:or cleaving a ship clean in half]]. |
| 94 | * DontYouDarePityMe: When Mr. 3 mocks Brogy and calls him out on going all out against his rival/long time friend Dorry even if he was suffering the effects of a bomb going off inside his stomach, Brogy furiously reveals that he realized from the very start that his opponent was wounded, but rather than pity him and go easy, he decided to honor him to the very end by fighting him seriously. |
| 95 | * ForeverWar: Because both are about equal in strength, every duel ends in a draw, therefore they've been fighting for well over a century with no signs of stopping. Even after their weapons break due to how consumed they are, they continue their eternal series of duels with their fists. [[spoiler: Considering that the Egghead Arc shows them both on Elbaf, it's pretty strongly implied that ''one'' of them finally won.]] |
| 96 | * FriendlyEnemy: They are best friends, and their endless, constant duels hasn't changed that. Mr. 3's plan gets going because Brogy got some booze from the Straw Hats and wanted to share it with Dorry. |
| 97 | * HonorBeforeReason: The two are willing to fight what amounts to an endless duel for a reason that neither of them can remember. According to them, the reason doesn't matter. This is a matter of honor. The two of them are also very religious, and they think of anything bad that happens to them as the will of the God of War. When an injured Dorry heads to battle, he simply says that he's lacking protection from his god and it's no excuse for him not to fight. Brogy, who notices that something's wrong with his opponent, doesn't bring up anything and continues to fight him like normal, respecting Dorry's honor and wish to continue their fight. |
| 98 | * HornyVikings: Their culture is based on the vikings and Brogy wears a horned helmet. |
| 99 | * InconsistentSpelling: Their names have been spelt "Dorey and Brogey" and loads of other variations. |
| 100 | * KnowWhenToFoldem: [[spoiler:As they continue to fight the Five Elders on Egghead and nothing they do works on them, the duo decide to retreat with Luffy back to their ship rightfully acknowledging how pointless it is to fight opponents that can't die.]] |
| 101 | * MadeOfIron: Dorry shrugs off an explosion from ''inside his stomach''. He also gets slashed by Brogy's axe later, but he survives it because the axe was too old to cut him too deeply (although there was still a lot of blood). |
| 102 | * OffscreenInertia: Cover stories always shows them engaged in their epic battle, implying that neither of them has managed to come out victorious. [[spoiler:Until the Egghead Arc, where it's implied that ''one'' of them won the duel, since they are both on Elbaf.]] |
| 103 | * OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler: Chapter 1076 reveals that their ForeverWar is seemingly over with one of them the victor, considering they have both returned to Elbaf. ''Who'' won said legendary duel is unknown, however.]] |
| 104 | * OurGiantsAreBigger: They're part of the giants from the village of Elbaf and as such they are proud warriors. Notably, they represent the proper introduction of the giant race in One Piece. |
| 105 | * PayEvilUntoEvil: [[spoiler:They sink the Kid Pirates to the bottom of the sea after their captain tried to kill Shanks' fleet. Considering Eustass Kid's reputation in causing countless civilian casualties, it's hard to blame the duo for brutalizing the crew and just protecting their home.]] |
| 106 | * ProudWarriorRaceGuy: They come from the village of Elbaf, whose inhabitants place a lot of emphasis and pride in being a warrior. Dorry and Brogy are no exception and their duels have a strict sense of honor: they only duel when smoke hail from the volcano and never use a dirty trick. Dorry even engaged the duel despite having just drank a barrel full of explosives, and Brogy is displeased to learn to have won thanks to an unfair advantage. |
| 107 | * RazorWind: Their ''Hakoku'' attack creates a huge guts of wind that cuts anything in its path. They use it for the first time in the series to kill the giant goldfish that is about to swallow the Going Merry. |
| 108 | * RedOniBlueOni: According to their epithets, Dorry is the blue and Brogy the red. Subverted though since their personalities are similar. |
| 109 | * ReligiousBruiser: The two of them are prime examples of the Giant tribe. Fighting to the death is part of their religion, and anything that happens in and around a fight, whether it's bad or good, is seen as their God of War either forsaking them or blessing them. Dorry getting his inside bombed by an alcoholic trap is brushed off as him lacking his god's protection. When their 100-year long battle is ruined by Mr. 3 and Brogy is about to be turned into a wax figure, Brogy despairs at the thought of his god having forsaken the two warriors. |
| 110 | * RunningGag: Every time the two Giants are revisited in a cover story, it shows that the never-ending battle is ''still'' going on, with nothing having changed except that they're using their bare fists after the loss of their weapons at the end of [[Recap/OnePieceLittleGardenArc Little Garden Arc]]. They're still so evenly matched that each battle seems to end in a DoubleKnockout. |
| 111 | * SignatureLaugh: They each have a distinctive laugh. Usopp proves he really did meet them by copying their laughs in front of Oimo and Kashi. |
| 112 | ** Dorry: "Gegyagyagyagya!" |
| 113 | ** Brogy: "Gebabababababa!" |
| 114 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: Despite being PutOnABus for a long while, they end up giving Usopp the inspiration to become a strong warrior of the sea and one day seek out Elbaf. Their subordinates Oimo and Kashi are pressganged into being gate guards for Enies Lobby in exchange for Dorry and Brogy's freedom, and Usopp revealing that he knows they're still on Little Garden caused them to do a HeelFaceTurn and help the Straw Hats. Their role becomes less small when they [[spoiler:show up on Egghead to help the Straw Hats escape]]. |
| 115 | * StrongAndSkilled: They have not only the power to cleave through [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever monsters many times even their size]], but also the finesse to leave smaller beings ''inside'' their targets completely untouched by the carnage. They demonstrate this on the sea monster trying to eat the Going Merry, [[spoiler:and again when they ''trisect'' Saint Ju Peter precisely around the segment of the Elder's body that Luffy has been swallowed into]]. |
| 116 | * SwordBeam: ''Hakoku'' is a blast created using all of their physical power that cuts through anything in its path. This is what finally destroys their aged weapons after a hundred years of dueling. |
| 117 | * TearsOfJoy: Subverted. Brogy, when it looks like he's finally won their decades-long duel, is crying, which Mr. 3 assumes is from joy in his victory. The reality is that Brogy is mourning the death of his best friend. |
| 118 | * VitriolicBestBuds: They are still best friends and actually quite chummy with one another when they aren't fighting. |
| 119 | * WorfHadTheFlu: When they appear first at Little Garden, they're given some trouble by Luffy and Mr. 3, but they've also been fighting borderline nonstop for a ''long'' time with their weapons in horrible shape, and thus not at their best by any stretch. Post-TimeSkip, they're shown to be ''far'' stronger than they were in Little Garden now that they're in peak shape with fresh weaponry. |

When the Straw Hats arrive, it's called "Drum Kingdom" because the mountain at the centre of the island has a flat top, making it look like a drum. The kingdom was attacked by the nascent Blackbeard Pirates, sending the king Wapol and his followers packing out of cowardice, and it changes its name to the Sakura Kingdom to honor the late Dr. Hiriluk after Dalton becomes the new king. |

| 134 | |
| 135 | Drum's number one doctor, also called "Witch". Is a lively old woman who lives in the royal castle. She adopted Chopper after Hiriluk's demise and taught him her medical knowledge. |
| 136 | ----- |
| 137 | * AxCrazy: The lengths she'll go to hurt you if you anger her are insane. She chases you with all kinds of weapons. |
| 138 | * BerserkButton: You better not call her "old", unless you want to get kicked across the room. |
| 139 | * TheBusCameBack: After a long absence from the main story, she reappears in the Whole Cake Island arc as Dalton is heading to the Reverie; she joins as his doctor, much to his shock. |
| 140 | * ButterFace: A RunningGag with her is that upon meeting her, people are often stunned by how beautiful her body looks. Then they see her face. |
| 141 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "Ya happy?" |
| 142 | * CoolOldLady: She's a world class doctor, and regards Chopper like a son ([[HiddenHeartOfGold not that you'd know it]]). |
| 143 | * CoolShades: Often wears shades in her cooler moments. |
| 144 | * CouldSayItBut: Her policy is that her patients are only allowed to leave after they have made a full recovery. After the Straw Hats have saved the island from Wapol and Nami's illness was on the mend though not fully cured, she continues to refuse to let Nami leave but explains that she now has to go take care of something and will be leaving the door unlocked. |
| 145 | * DrJerk: God help you if you try to defy her medical orders. It's mostly in the interest of her patients. Mostly. |
| 146 | %%* DynamicEntry: "Doctor Stop". |
| 147 | * GoodIsNotSoft: She's a genuinely terrific doctor and she ultimately is there to make sure her patients get better. But when she gives medical orders, they are '''orders'''. |
| 148 | * {{Hammerspace}}: Where she gets the stuff she can chuck at people from. She can even throw ''chickens'' at them! |
| 149 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Essentially this. She's genuinely interested in helping people, and willingly took on Chopper as a student when Hiriluk (whom she otherwise regarded as a quack) died. She cries when he leaves (in between chucking battleaxes at him) and is pleased to know he's doing well when he gets a wanted poster (though she hopes the 50 Beli is a mistake). She's still not the nicest person to be around with, charges her patients way too much of their assets and physically assaults people. |
| 150 | * LongLived: She's over a hundred years old. |
| 151 | * MsExposition: |
| 152 | ** Subverted. She's the first person in the series to mention the mysterious "Will of D", but she never elaborates it. |
| 153 | ** Played straight in regards to Chopper's backstory, as she explains it to Nami and by extension the audience. |
| 154 | * NeverMessWithGranny: She may be an old woman but that doesn't stop her from going medieval on your ass if you piss her off. |
| 155 | * [[NonActionGuy Non Action Girl]]: Invoked by herself. While she is more then capable of fighting herself, during the fight against Wapol's goons she states that she'll take part to the fight only if they need her help, which they ultimately don't. |
| 156 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: She bares some resemblance to Creator/MargaretHamilton, her actress in the Funmation dub taking it further. |
| 157 | * OlderThanTheyLook: She's actually 139 (141 after timeskip) years [[InsistentTerminology young]]. |
| 158 | * ParentalSubstitute: Kureha is the closest thing Chopper has to a mother figure. |
| 159 | * RunningGag: She often asks people if they want to know the secret for her age and young looks. Nobody is interested. |
| 160 | ** More like interrupting any question as if THAT is what they wanted to ask. They quickly correct her, apparently fearing the answer. |
| 161 | ** Another one is people mistaking her for a young woman until they see her ButterFace. |
| 162 | * SilverFox: Despite being more than a century old, she's does not look all that bad except maybe the ButterFace. |
| 163 | * SoProudOfYou: Done very subtly. Her shirt when she shows up at Reverie has Chopper's bounty printed on it. |
| 164 | * TapOnTheHead: Her preferred method of anesthesia: have Chopper give the patient a concussion. |
| 165 | * {{Tsundere}}: She cries when Chopper leaves the castle (after chasing him with knives and all, mind you). |
| 166 | * WhatTheHellHero: She scolds Chopper after his first use of Monster Point, calling him out on the destruction he wrought and saying that it is his responsibility as an aspiring doctor to be careful. |

| 183 | ----- |
| 184 | * TheAtoner: He hated working under Wapol, and made sure to make up for it however possible, even before becoming King. |
| 185 | * TheBeastmaster: After the TimeSkip, it's shown in a cover story that he uses the Lapahns as troops, so he's definitely developing shades of this. |
| 186 | * BroughtDownToNormal: For some reason, [[AlternateContinuity Movie 9]] didn't include his Devil Fruit. |
| 187 | * TheBusCameBack: After a long absence from the main story, he cameos at the start of the Whole Cake Island arc as he and several other kings and royal families make their way to the Reverie, and makes a full return in the Reverie Arc itself. |
| 188 | * CommonalityConnection: Rebecca, Shirahoshi, and the Tontatta dwarves are quick to bond with him over their shared friendship with Luffy. |
| 189 | * ElectiveMonarchy: After the Drum Kingdom is remade into the Sakura Kingdom, Dalton is elected as king, rather than being born into it like most royalty in the series. |
| 190 | * TheGoodKing: Justified. In contrast to Wapol, Dalton cares for his people and wants the best for Drum, for this reason he's elected as the king for the newly-made Sakura Kingdom. |
| 191 | * HeroicBuild: Tall and bulky, especially considering how MusclesAreMeaningless in this series. |
| 192 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: He considers himself something of a failure over how long it took him to oppose Wapol and his lack of success when he does. The people of Drum, on the other hand, elect him king of the new Sakura Kingdom. |
| 193 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: A large spade. |
| 194 | * ManlyTears: Hiriluk's speech at Drum Castle brought him to tears as the doctor's words hammered home exactly how bad the country had become. |
| 195 | * ModestRoyalty: After becoming king, he prefers to live in one of the villages rather than in the castle. |
| 196 | * NiceGuy: So nice, he'll tell you trivia about himself without you having to ask. |
| 197 | * NobleTopEnforcer: He's a noble warrior who served under Wapol's father and later Wapol. Wapol's cruelty led Dalton to defect and eventually lead the good people of the Drum Kingdom. |
| 198 | * OurMinotaursAreDifferent: His hybrid-form from his bison devil fruit lends him an appearance like a minotaur. |
| 199 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: His Devil Fruit allows him to mop the floor with plain soldiers, but the flashback shows that Wapol's "Ultimate Weapon" form was too much for him. |
| 200 | * RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: To the point that he really prefers not being called a King at all. |
| 201 | * ShutUpHannibal: In the Reverie Arc, Wapol tries taunting and insulting him again. Dalton's having none of it, and threateningly reminds his former king that they're now on equal footing. |
| 202 | * TakingTheBullet: He's willing to do this for the citizens of Drum, to the point that when they meet again Chess doesn't even try to fight him and just shoots at some ordinary people. |
| 203 | * TokenGoodTeammate: When Wapol was still king, he was only member of his troops who cared about the citizens of the kingdom. |

| 214 | ->''"When does a man die? Is it when he's shot in the heart with a pistol? No. When he's stricken with a deadly disease? No. When he eats soup... ...made from a deadly mushroom? No!!! It's when... ...he is forgotten!! I may disappear, but my dream will live on. And the ailing hearts of the people will be healed."'' |
| 215 | |
| 216 | A quack doctor from Drum island who plays a pivotal role in Chopper's life. Hiriluk spent a large portion of his life as a thief, until he was diagnosed with a terminal illness. While wandering in West Blue, he stumbled upon a grove of cherry trees he found incredibly beautiful, and was seemingly miraculously healed. Invigorated with a new belief that every disease can be cured, he returned to his home country with the mission to heal its ills by raising people's spirits; his ultimate goal is to cause a cherry tree blossom on the island, evoking the image of the cherry trees that healed him. Unfortunately, his lack of training means most of his medical interventions causes more harm than good, and you can't have a cherry tree blossom in a winter island...\ |
| 217 | \ |
| 218 | After finding Chopper abandoned by both humans and reindeer, Hiriluk brings him home and becomes his mentor and father figure. After his old disease returns, Chopper attempts to cure him with a mushroom soup, not knowing it's poisonous. Hiriluk realises this but drinks it anyway. He's then tricked by King Wapol into a lethal trap, but he decides to blow himself up with one of his own medicines after giving a last, touching speech that would spark an eventual revolution within the country.\ |
| 219 | \ |
| 220 | After Wapol is defeated, Kureha uses his final invention: a pink powder that turns the snow pink like cherry petals. This finally fulfils the old man's dreams of healing his birthplace, and the citizens of the Drum Kingdom are moved to renaming their country to "Sakura Kingdom" in celebration of their freedom. |
| 221 | ----- |
| 222 | * AndThatLittleBoyWasMe: He explains his doctoring philosophy to Chopper through a familiar story about a life long thief who was diagnosed with an incurable terminal disease, and one day witnessed a cherry blossom bloom so beautiful it seemingly cured his disease on the spot. Of course, Dr. Kureha later reveals the criminal was Dr. Hiriluk and it didn't actually cure him, though it did seem to cause the disease to go into remission for decades. |
| 223 | * BackAlleyDoctor: The Drum Kingdom (later Sakura Kingdom) used to be renowned for having the best doctors in the entire One Piece World. Hiriluk is ''not'' among them and is a terrible doctor whose self-made medicines cause more harm than good, indeed, he's the only doctor to not have been captured by Wapol, besides Kureha. Justified as Hiriluk was a former theif with little to no medical training whatsoever. |
| 224 | * BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Rather than being killed by Chopper's poisonous mushroom (making Chopper guilty of his death) or being shot by Wapol's soldiers, Hiriluk drinks an explosive potion that blows him up. |
| 225 | * BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: When Hiriluk's condition worsens and Kureha tells him he has only a few days left, he chases Chopper out of his home, to spare him from watching his surrogate father die of illness. Later, Chopper learns from Kureha about Hiriluk's condition and decides to help him. |
| 226 | * ChronicHeroSyndrome: Or Chronic Doctor Syndrome. After Wapol has forced all doctors to remain in his service, he continued to offer his services door-to-door. Unfortunately, since Hiriluk is a terrible doctor, no one wants any part of it. |
| 227 | * ComicallyIneptHealing: In One Piece fashion, his attempts to heal people with frog livers cause them to act like frogs. On a darker note, he would often give the wrong type of medicine that would either kill the person or have them fall victim to a weird side effect. |
| 228 | * CoolOldGuy: Hiruluk's starts Chopper's medical training and instills in him his generous and kind spirit, all in his older years. |
| 229 | * DoomedMoralVictor: Discussed in his last speech. While Wapol has Hiriluk at gunpoint, the latter comments that a man doesn't die from a terminal disease, eating a poisonous soup or a gunshot, but only when he's forgotten. Indeed, even after his death, Hiruluk's actions get the better over Wapol and his special powder heals the disease of the Drum Kingdom. |
| 230 | * DyingMomentOfAwesome: After giving one of the most heartwarming speeches in the series, while held at gunpoint by a soldier squad, Hiriluk drinks an explosive potion so that he won't die from Chopper's poisonous Mushroom, and makes a toast to his surrogate son, thanking him for a wonderful life. |
| 231 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: After his legendary speech about "a man never dies until he's forgotten", Hiriluk smiles as he make a toast for his life and Chopper, and blows himself up. |
| 232 | * {{Foil}}: To Kureha. They're the last two doctors of the Drum kingdom after Wapol forces the remaining ones to live in his castle. Hiruluk is idealistic and altruistic and doesn't want money from his patients, but completely he is incompetent, while Kureha is highly skilled but cynical and she charges her patients way too much. They also serve as mentors for Chopper, with Hiriluk passing on his ideals, and Kureha passing on her medical skills. |
| 233 | * HeroicSuicide: After Chopper goes through a lot of trouble and danger to bring Hiriluk a mushroom to make a soup for his terminal illness, not knowing it's actually a poisonous one, Hiriluk recognizes the mushroom but eats the soup anyway rather than telling his surrogate son that all of his troubles were for nothing. The poisoned amiudake mushroom hastens his demise, then he falls into a trap after hearing that the 20 Doctors are ill and Hiriluk drinks his failed potion to die on his terms. The explosion completely obliterates him, leaving nothing behind but [[DeadHatShot his hat]], which blows down to Chopper and allows him to realize that Hiriluk had died. |
| 234 | * HighHopesZeroTalent: Despite his passion for medicine, his treatments generally do more harm than good. His pink powder, however, does heal the hearts of the former Drum Kingdom's inhabitants, inspiring them to rename it the Sakura Kingdom. |
| 235 | * IRegretNothing: Before drinking a potion that blows him up, Hiriluk says he lived a wonderful life and thanks Chopper for it. |
| 236 | * ImmortalityThroughMemory: Right before committing his HeroicSuicide, Hiriluk declared his belief that a man only truly dies when they are forgotten, rather than when they are physically killed. Indeed, Hiriluk's ideals live in Chopper and his actions "heal" the Drum Kingdom years after his death, thanks to Kureha who realizes his dream. |
| 237 | * ImprobableHairstyle: His hair is shaped like a medical cross as a visual clue to him being a doctor. |
| 238 | * InterspeciesAdoption: Hiriluk is a human and adopts Chopper (a reindeer with a Devil Fruit) as his son after finding him injured and treating his wounds. |
| 239 | * LuredIntoATrap: Shortly after eating Chopper's mushroom, Hiriluk hears that the twenty Doctors are ill and rushes to help. It's a lie made by Wapol to lure out the two rogue doctors, and Hiriluk ends up facing off against a squad of soldiers ready to execute him. However, Hiriluk laughs it off and claims that he's happy to find out that the doctors are actually fine. |
| 240 | * MadScientist: Unlike most examples, Hiriluk is actually benevolent, but he's a terrible doctor and his medicines make people even more sick. Most of his chemical experiments tend to end with a huge explosion, and he recycles them to make actual explosives. |
| 241 | * MadeOfExplodium: A lot of his failed concoctions tends to blow up and, while naturally useless as medicines, Hiriluk uses them as bombs. As his last act, Hiriluk prepares an explosive drink to blow himself up, so that he won't be killed by Chopper's poisonous mushroom or Wapol's soldiers. |
| 242 | * MentorOccupationalHazard: Hiriluk is Chopper's first mentor and father figure, and blows himself up in front of Wapol. His death brings Chopper under Kureha's wing, where he learns all that he knows about medicine. |
| 243 | * NudityEqualsHonesty: When he finds an injured Chopper in the storm, Hiriluk tries to help him. Chopper doesn't trust him, so Hiriluk strips all his clothing in the freezing cold to show the reindeer that he has nothing to conceal, he only wants to help. |
| 244 | * ParentalSubstitute: Hiriluk is a father figure to Chopper, having adopted him after finding him in a blizzard, and teaches the reindeer his own moral code. |
| 245 | * PosthumousCharacter: Hiriluk is dead for years by the time the Straw Hats reach Drum Island, but his wishes are inherited by Chopper and motivate him to fight Wapol and eventually join the Straw Hats. |
| 246 | * RasputinianDeath: He was inflicted with a terminal illness that would kill him within days, then ate a soup made of amiudake mushroom, a lethal poison, but still lived long enough to blow himself up. |
| 247 | * ReformedCriminal: Hiriluk used to be a thief, until he got ill and was cured by a wonderful sight of cherry blossoms. Since that day, Hiriluk dedicated his life to healing people. |
| 248 | * SignatureLaugh: Hiruluk's laugh is ''Eh eh eh!''' Chopper later mimics his laugh. |
| 249 | * UnwantedAssistance: The people of the Drum Kingdom don't like his help as he usually makes their ailments worse. |
| 250 | * VitriolicBestBuds: With Kureha. She regards him as a quack, but also give him medicine to prolong his life and, after he dies, takes his special powder and Chopper under her wing. |
| 251 | * YourDaysAreNumbered: Suffered from a terminal illness that returns shortly after adopting Chopper, and Kureha diagnoses him with a few days to live. Chopper learns of this and tries to heal it with a mushroom soup, not knowing the mushroom is poisonous. Hiriluk willingly eats the soup, further shortening his remaining time, to thank Chopper for his care. |

| 261 | This crew is actually composed of the former soldiers of the Drum Kingdom under Wapol's rule. Its elite members are Chess and Kuromarimo who were former advisors. In the [[Anime/EpisodeOfChopperPlusBloomInTheWinterMiracleSakura ninth movie]], Musshuru, Wapol's elder brother is introduced. Later, Chess and Kuromarimo are "merged" by Wapol in the warrior Chessmarimo. |
| 262 | |
| 263 | After the timeskip, Wapol's pirate crew has given way to the Evil Black Drum Kingdom in the South Blue. |
| 264 | |
| 265 | For Wapol himself, see [[Characters/OnePieceBlueSeas Blue Seas]]. |
| 266 | ----- |
| 267 | * AchillesHeel: Chessmarimo's chin is a weak spot that Chopper's Rumble Ball-enhanced Brain Point identifies. |
| 268 | * AdaptedOut: Chessmarimo in ''Episode of Chopper'', as Wapol merges with his own brother instead. |
| 269 | * DeathByAdaptation: In ''Episode of Chopper'', Chess and Kuromarimo are last shown knocked out by Musshuru's poison spore, implicitly killing them. |
| 270 | * DualWielding: Chessmarimo wields four axes at once. |
| 271 | * FusionDance: Invoked by Chessmarimo, who claims to be a SuperSoldier produced by Chess and Kuromarimo being eaten by Wapol and fused together thanks to his Munch-Munch Fruit power. Subverted because, as a disappointed Sanji points out, "Chessmarimo" is just Kuromarimo riding on Chess' back with the latter's clothes being worn over him. |
| 272 | * {{Gonk}}: Chess barely looks human at all with his attire and face. |
| 273 | * KickTheDog: During Dalton's attack, Chess willingly shoots a volley of arrows at some incoming villagers, knowing full well that [[TakingTheBullet Dalton will shield them.]] |
| 274 | * MultiMeleeMaster: Chessmarimo is shown using bows, hammers and axes in battle. |
| 275 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: Chess is certainly an odd looking fellow dressed as a jester, but he's definitely one of the more serious minded people in Wapol's crew. When he, Kuromarimo, and Dalton were serving as advisors to Wapol pre-banishment: Kuromarimo would drink, but Chess would give Dalton an unemotive speech on how the people are inherently weak and deserve to be oppressed. |
| 276 | * PlayingWithFire: Chess often uses fire arrows. |
| 277 | * RazorWind: Chessmarimo can do this with axes. |
| 278 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Crosses with DirtyCoward. Once the Blackbeard Pirates came a knocking, they all fled Drum Island. They returned later, and were kicked out again by the Straw Hats this time. |
| 279 | * TerribleTrio: Wapol, Chess, and Kuromarimo fashioned themselves as these. |
| 280 | * RankScalesWithAsskicking: Chess, and Kuromarimo. According to Dr. Kureha, this trope is the only reason the people of Drum couldn't rebel when the great doctor hunt began. |
| 281 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Chessmarimo delivered one to Chopper, but it didn't work. |
| 282 | * VoiceOfTheLegion: Chessmarimo's voice sounds like Chess and Kuromarimo talking together. In the manga, this effect is given through the use of overlapping letters. |
| 283 | * WalkOnWater: {{Subverted}} with Chess. The Straw Hats first see him seemingly standing on water, but he's just standing on top of their crew's submerged ship. |
| 284 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Robson and Chessmarimo's fates after being sent flying and being defeated respectively are entirely unknown. For what it's worth, the WhatIf ''Episode of Chopper'' shows Robson having crashed in a snowbank while Chess and Kuromarimo get a cameo in a non-canon ''Anime/OnePieceStampede'' movie where they (split again) accompany Wapol. |

| 293 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alabasta_infobox.png]] |
| 294 | The Alabasta Kingdom is an Egyptian-themed desert kingdom located on Sandy Island, which is roughly halfway through Paradise. It is classified as a Summer island. The Alabasta Kingdom is one of the twenty founding countries of the World Government, with the noted distinction that its ruling family, the Nefeltari family, is the only family who refused to move to Marijoa and instead elected to stay on their own island. |
| 295 | |
| 296 | By the time the story begins, Alabasta is on the verge of civil war due to implications that King Cobra is causing a two-year-long drought through the use of an illegal substance known as Dance Powder, when in fact the drought is actually due to the machinations of the resident [[Characters/OnePieceSevenWarlordsOfTheSea Warlord of the Sea]], [[Characters/OnePieceSirCrocodile Sir Crocodile]], who aims to seize the country and the Ancient Weapon Pluton, supposedly hidden there. With the intervention of the Straw Hats, Crocodile's scheme is revealed and stopped, while the civil war ends. |
| 297 | |
| 298 | It is the main setting of the Alabasta Arc. |
| 299 | ---- |
| 300 | * BuildLikeAnEgyptian: Alabasta has a Middle Eastern look due to the architecture and it's inhabitants are egyptian-themed. |
| 301 | * CategoryTraitor: Though the Nefeltari family are described as having been among the original families that established the World Government, they are looked down upon by the World Nobles, and considered traitors, really only because the Nefeltari elected to remain amongst their people in Alabasta, rather than settle in Mary Geoise with them. |
| 302 | * CrossingTheDesert: The Straw Hats, along with Vivi and Karoo, have to cross the desert island to reach the capital, Alubarna. |
| 303 | * DesertBandits: There are bandits in the desertic land of Alabasta. One particular group kidnaps Vivi when she's young and has to be rescued by Koza. |
| 304 | * FantasyCounterpartCulture: To Egypt, with its royal family even being named after real-world Queen of Egypt [[UsefulNotes/{{Egypt}} Nefeltari]]. |
| 305 | * LostSuperweapon: Not directly owned by Alabasta itself, but the Ancient Weapon, Pluton, is said to be hidden in Alabasta. Although, the Poneglyph said to contain its location was buried beneath the Tomb of the Kings before it could be relayed to Cobra and Crocodile through Robin's reading. [[spoiler:And it turns out to be a false rumor anyway, as the location that said Poneglyph points to is in Wano Country, ''far'' from Alabasta.]] |
| 306 | * ThirstyDesert: Aside from the natural environment, Crocodile staged incidents two years before the beginning of the story to deprive Alabasta of water while implicating King Cobra as the responsible party. |
| 307 | * YankTheDogsChain: [[spoiler:Two years after the country is saved from civil war by the Straw Hats, their king is assassinated and their princess goes missing. It's such a harsh blow that the country's ship is still docked in Mary Geoise weeks after the Reverie ended.]] |

| 318 | |
| 319 | The princess of Alabasta, Nefeltari Vivi is a former member of the Straw Hats, and loves her country very deeply. She has a very kind nature, to the point where she has trouble coming up with insults and tries to solve problems non-violently, which is somewhat ironic as she was somewhat of a troublemaker as a child. She often gives little speeches about responsibility while traveling with the Straw Hats, but she does not like public speaking.\ |
| 320 | |
| 321 | When it became clear that an organization called Baroque Works was egging on a rebellion in her country, she and her caretaker Igaram went undercover, infiltrating the organization as Miss Wednesday and Mr. 8 respectively, in an effort to find out who was pulling the strings. She eventually discovered that Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords, was behind everything, but her cover is blown and she temporarily joins up with the Straw Hats and enlists their help, ultimately resulting in Crocodile's defeat and peace returning to her homeland. |
| 322 | ----- |
| 323 | * ActionGirl: She's very competent in hand-to-hand combat and can defeat lower-ranking Baroque Works members with relative ease. While she's not as strong as the Straw Hats, she is competent enough to generally avoid being a DamselInDistress during the Alabasta Saga (the one time she gets captured is in Little Garden alongside Nami and ''[[BadassInDistress Zoro]]'' and even ''[[OurGiantsAreDifferent Brogy]]''). |
| 324 | * AffectionateNickname: Unlike the other Straw Hats, whom she addresses by name, she always refers to Zoro as "Mr. Bushido". The "affectionate" part didn't apply at first, since she originally gave him the nickname mockingly while fighting him in her Miss Wednesday persona; however, once she befriends and joins the Straw Hats, it becomes this when she continues to address him as such. |
| 325 | * AffirmativeActionGirl: Her joining the Straw Hats significantly improved the crew's gender ratio (since Nami had been the only female up to that point). Made more obvious considering that, once she left, her spot was promptly filled by Robin. Of course, like her successor, she was a genuinely good multifaceted character. |
| 326 | * AintTooProudToBeg: She is a humble character and was the one who taught Luffy this; when seeking a doctor on Drum Island for Nami and someone shoots at her in hostility, she scolds Luffy for almost fighting and reminds him of his duties as Captain (being that a ruler should NEVER be too proud to beg for the sake of their followers) before begging for medical assistance, with Luffy quickly following. |
| 327 | * AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:She went missing following the death of her father at the Reverie. The situation becomes both less and ''more'' ambiguous at the same time when we learn that that she, along with [[FatBastard Wapol of all people]], are hiding in [[WildCard "Big News" Morgans']] air balloon with the implication that ''Morgans'' himself intervened to hide them. Chapter 1085 makes it clear that the reason she's hiding alongside Wapol at Morgans' is because she ''hitched a ride'' in order to escape [=CP0=], and Wapol must have encountered Morgans in the process]]. |
| 328 | * AnimalMotifs: The dove, befitting her MartialPacifist nature. It's also notable that Oda assigned her an animal, as she's one of the very few outside of the main Straw Hats to be given the honour. |
| 329 | * ArcVillain: Of the Laboon Arc, though only by virtue of being one of the ''only'' villains in the arc alongside Mr. 9, before she was revealed to be GoodAllAlong. |
| 330 | * ArtEvolution: Surprisingly enough happened over the course of a few chapters. Though it's justified by the fact that she was undercover at the time, so she obviously had to make herself look older. |
| 331 | * BadassAdorable: The adorable, soft-spoken princess of a desert kingdom. Who would expect that she's packing razor sharp whips that she can aim with perfect precision? |
| 332 | * BadassNormal: Comparatively. While the weakest of the Straw Hat crew during her time there (save for Usopp), she was still easily able to fend off waves of [[EliteMook Billions]] and [[{{Mook}} Millions]]. |
| 333 | * {{BFG}}: She used to carry a bazooka back in her days as a Baroque Works agent, which was useful for dealing massive damage and crippling her targets (such as Laboon). She completely ditched the bazooka after her GoodAllAlong reveal. |
| 334 | * BladeOnARope: Vivi's weapons of choice are her "Peacock Slashers", a pair of small, sharp jewels attached to wires that she's also ''very'' accurate with. |
| 335 | * BreakTheCutie: Gets slapped with this ''hard''. After several {{Plan}}s that Crocodile placed on her, leading to a civil war within the capital and culminating in a bomb in the town center with a blast radius of five kilometers set to explode even though she defeated the ones who were to fire it; this led to Pell, Lieutenant of the Royal Guards of Alabasta, sacrificing himself to save everyone from the explosion by flying the giant bomb to the stratosphere (he got better, though). After witnessing this and seeing her people ''still'' killing each other, Vivi ''snaps'' and starts yelling at the top of her lungs for them to stop fighting. It was a very emotional and painful sight to watch. |
| 336 | * TheBusCameBack: She leaves the main cast at the end of the Alabasta arc to resume her duties in her home kingdom. Over a real-life decade later, in Chapter 822, she, Karoo, Igaram, Chaka, Pell, and her father are on their way to Reverie right as the war against Kaido begins to heat up and the Straw Hats send a rescue party off to Big Mom's territory. By the Reverie arc, she makes a full return to the plot, and also gets to meet other characters whose own buses came back. The Egghead arc reveals that she's on the run and is actually [[spoiler:relatively nearby the Straw Hats, thanks to Morgans's air balloon being close to Egghead]]. |
| 337 | * CantCatchUp: By the end of her time on the crew, even Nami and Usopp have outpaced her in terms of combat ability. Not entirely her fault, and she even acknowledges this after the Enies Lobby arc. |
| 338 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: Vivi begins the story as an antagonist that has no qualms about killing a whale to feed an entire village, gets into fights with the Straw Hats, and even tries to kill Zoro one-on-one. Then after the reveal that she is a princess from Alabasta, her personality immediately switches. Oda admits in an SBS that, initially, she was supposed to be a one-off villain, and only later decided to make her a princess in incognito, which explains the jarring change of personality. |
| 339 | * TheChewToy: Her brief stint as a member of Baroque Works is not the most dignified. She, along with her partner Mr. 9 get knocked out and kidnapped by the Straw Hats, blown up by the Unluckies, get regularly beaten up by the Straw Hats, and are the most ineffective in the fight at Whiskey Peak, managing to knock themselves out while attacking Zoro. |
| 340 | * ColorCodedCharacters: Her main color is white, according to Eiichiro Oda. |
| 341 | * CompetenceZone: She's an accomplished double-agent, bounty hunter ''and'' assassin; able to infiltrate the very organization creating chaos in her country. She did this at ''14 years of age'' and was in it for ''two whole years'' before her cover was blown. Considering said organization's leaders were [[DiabolicalMastermind Crocodile]] and [[TheDragon Nico Robin]] ([[MysteriousBacker though it's probably]] ''[[EnigmaticMinion because]]'' [[TheMole of Robin she was able to go unnoticed for so long...]]), this is very impressive. Apparently, after the Timeskip, the Royal Family has enough confidence in her as a capable ''statesman'' as well. |
| 342 | * CommonalityConnection: She quickly bonds with Rebecca, Shirahoshi, and the Tontatta dwarves over their shared friendship with Luffy. |
| 343 | * DamselOutOfDistress: [[spoiler:At the Reverie, the [=CP0=] agents Jabra, Blueno, Kumadori, Fukuro and Kalifa capture her by Imu's order, but Vivi doesn't take long to escape by using her window of opportunity of jumping into Wapol's mouth when he suddenly barges in unexpectedly. The two of them escape from Marijoa and eventually get on Morgans's air balloon.]] |
| 344 | * DanceBattler: Her specialty is dodging attacks gracefully and even at one point performing a hypnotic dance using the circular patterns on her shirt as Miss Wednesday. |
| 345 | * DeadpanSnarker: Vivi is generally a friendly and polite person, but she is not a pushover by any means. During a flashback to the Reverie, she openly insults Rob Lucci for doing nothing when Shirahoshi was nearly kidnapped by Charloss. |
| 346 | * DecoyProtagonist: Or rather "Decoy Straw-Hat". She becomes a major ally of the Straw Hats during the entire Alabasta Saga (a total of 3 years in the real world) to the point where she has her own personal theme song and "{{eyecatch}}er" just like the rest of the Straw Hats... but it's to set up ArcVillain Nico Robin as a true Straw Hat in a surprising PlotTwist. And the rest is history... A major clue to this is that although she gets her own wanted poster and theme during the "eyecatchers", she doesn't appear with the rest of the crew in the background. However, when Chopper joins, he shows up with the others. |
| 347 | * {{Determinator}}: While Vivi may not be the most physically strong character in the series, she is a ''very'' strong-willed person when you get down to it. Throughout the Alabasta saga, Vivi is constantly taking proactive efforts in saving her people, always putting their needs, as well as the needs of her friends, above herself. It gets to the point where Vivi's refusal to be selfish is actually a character flaw, as [[WhatTheHellHero Luffy points out]] that they can't stop Crocodile unless she accepts that she can't save everyone. In hindsight, it makes sense as [[spoiler:she's also a D.]] |
| 348 | * {{Deuteragonist}}: Aside of Luffy, Vivi is the main focus during the Alabasta arc, being the one who kicks off the Alabasta saga by getting the crew to come into conflict with Crocodile. Her story arc focuses on her goal to save her people from Crocodile's plan. |
| 349 | * DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Most people tend to treat Cipher Pol "Aigis" Zero with an almost awed fear due to both their power and their roles under The World Government. Vivi? Could not be more disdainful and sardonic towards them if she tried and every conversation she has with a member of the group ends with Vivi blatantly snarking at them. [[spoiler:Considering she's revealed to be a [[SecretLegacy D]] it's made their utter irreverence towards the World Government is something the D Clan shares, and she is no different. Just like her father, actually.]] |
| 350 | * DudeMagnet: Her father mentions that there are several suitors lining up for her. Named characters who are openly attracted to her are Sanji (of course) and Mr. 2 Bon Clay, who claims that she's his type. |
| 351 | * EvenTheGirlsWantHer: During the Egghead arc, [[spoiler:while she was hiding with Morgans]] a woman lended her some outfits. She even said to herself that when she'll get them back she will never wash them again. |
| 352 | * ExpositoryHairStyleChange: When she's introduced as a villain, she has got all of her hair tied into a ponytail. After she is revealed to be a princess and her hair gets loose, she styles her back to another ponytail, but leaves her side bangs down, which gives her face a friendlier framing, a style which she keeps throughout her entire adventure with the Straw Hats. After the defeat of Sir Crocodile and Vivi's decision to stay behind in Alabasta to fulfill her royal duties, she's most commonly seen with her hair down. |
| 353 | * FailedASpotCheck: After the Straw Hats learn the okama they fished up was Mr. 2, they asked if Vivi knew that was him. She said no, as she had never met him before. All she had heard were rumors, like that he was an okama who dressed like a swan and talked about the Okama Way. The crew immediately points out that she should have figured it out. |
| 354 | * {{Foil}}: In their time together, Vivi and Luffy are sometimes compared. They both operate on GreaterNeedThanMine, a great sense of adventure, and become competent leaders. While they're both a WideEyedIdealist, they have different leadership skills, and sense of responsibility. And despite being on the opposite ends of the strength scale, they ''[[{{Determinator}} will not stop]]'' until they accomplish their goals, [[spoiler:as per The Will of D]]. |
| 355 | * ForeheadOfDoom: Undeniably so. Enough to rival Hancock. |
| 356 | * ForgetfulJones: A running gag with her in the Alabasta Arc is that she would forget to remind the Straw Hats about the dangers of the deserts in Alabasta. |
| 357 | * GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: When Luffy nearly loses his temper over her getting shot after the Straw Hats enter Drum Island, Vivi has to calm him down. |
| 358 | * GenerationXerox: Towards the end of the Alabasta arc, Cobra notes that Vivi has grown into the spitting image of her mother, Nefeltari Titi. [[spoiler:Must run in the family, since Vivi looks very similar to her distant ancestor Nefeltari Lily]]. |
| 359 | * GeniusDitz: She has an encyclopedic knowledge of her country, including the surprisingly vast dangers. However, she only ever remembers to bring up said dangers when they're already occurring. And then there's the time she infiltrated Baroque Works and discovered the identity of its leader, something which only one other member of the organization was aware of (Nico Robin, [[TheMole who was also planning to turn against him]]), between the ages of fourteen and sixteen. And then, after describing in very intimate detail just how much she shouldn't tell the Straw Hats the man's identity, she gets so caught up in what she's saying that she says her boss's name ''out loud''. |
| 360 | * GivenNameReveal: Chapter 1085 reveals that Vivi's real name is [[spoiler: Nefeltari D. Vivi]]. |
| 361 | * GoodAllAlong: Yes, she did start off as the de facto villain of the Laboon Arc, and she did try to ''kill Laboon'' (albeit only for meat as opposed to malicious intent), but it's clear it was only done to maintain her cover. But she showed her true kind self later. |
| 362 | * GoodCostumeSwitch: When introduced as Miss Wednesday, she wears a similarly campy and villainous attire like other Baroque Works agents that lets her blend in with them. But upon being exposed as TheMole and joining the Straw Hats, her clothing style becomes much more casual and less conspicuous. |
| 363 | * GoodHairEvilHair: As Miss Wednesday, her hair is all slicked back into a ponytail in a way emblematic of many "classy" villains. But upon being exposed, it's suddenly cut loose into [[LongHairIsFeminine long]] wavy hair that she eventually keeps in a practical but more free-flowing ponytail; her bangs are more emphasized too to make her feel younger and less restrained. |
| 364 | * GuestStarPartyMember: To the point where she featured in a number of crew color spread and was the subject of one anime ending. Her tenure lasted from the Whiskey Peak arc to the end of Alabasta, after which she decided to stay in her home country to rebuild it. She had such a special spot in the group that she even got her own EyeCatch. |
| 365 | * HonoraryTrueCompanion: She joined not too long after the main crew of Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji had been established. To further prove this, Vivi is the only one (aside from the Straw Hats themselves) who noticed something was off with Luffy ringing the bells in honor of Ace's death, although she couldn't figure out what he was trying to convey due to her lack of context. Even further, the crew, while sailing, silently tell her that she has a spot in the crew again if she ever wishes it. [[spoiler: When she goes missing following the incident at the Reverie, Luffy is ready to go all the way back to Alabasta to help her ''despite closing in on the One Piece'', making clear she's so important to the crew Luffy would prioritize her safety over ''becoming the Pirate King''.]] |
| 366 | * IChooseToStay: Was invited to stay with the Straw Hats after Crocodile's defeat. Though she strongly considered it (to the point that she traveled hours out of her way to see them off), she opted to stay in Alabasta to help rebuild it. |
| 367 | * ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: [[http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070501110403/onepiece/images/thumb/6/62/Vslashers.png/250px-Vslashers.png "Peacock Slashers",]] small blades that are connected to her pinky fingers by wires. She twirls them around in the style of chakrams. No human pinky would normally have the strength or dexterity to pull that off, but RuleOfCool okays it. Plus, since she managed to [[OffWithHisHead cut Crocodile's head off]] with those weapons (Though his [[NighInvulnerability Logia abilities]] allowed him to easily survive it) ''and'' cut through the chair he was sitting on clean, she's a lot stronger than she looks, too. |
| 368 | * InconsistentSpelling: |
| 369 | ** Due to standard Japanese L/R confusion, her family name sometimes gets romanized as "Nefeltari". This happened in the English manga and the 4Kids dub, but not the Funimation dub or subtitles. |
| 370 | ** Also the ordering of her name. The manga renders it "Nefeltari Vivi", Funimation's subtitles used "Nefertari Vivi", but their dub used "Vivi Nefertari". |
| 371 | * IndyPloy: Turns out that when the chips are down, she's perfectly capable of improvising and rolling with the punches. [[spoiler: While her inner dialogue makes it very, very clear that she has her own plan to escape [=CP0=], the moment a hysterical [[HeKnowsTooMuch Wapol]] breaks through the room she's being held at, she immediately takes the opportunity to "hitch a ride" with him and escape capture. When he desperately tells her he's going as far as he possibly can, even to "the ends of the earth", she coolly notes that said goal currently suits her perfectly.]] |
| 372 | * InterclassFriendship: With the Straw Hats prior to Robin, since they all come from lower class backgrounds ([[spoiler:except for [[ReallyRoyaltyReveal Sanji]]]]). Her friends in the Sand-Sand Band during her childhood also apply, though Koza might be tipping into UptownGirl territory. |
| 373 | * JackOfAllStats: It's subtle, but Vivi is actually quite skilled at various talents that the Straw Hats specialize in, although not to their level: |
| 374 | ** Charisma: She is very much a charismatic individual, able to bring others to her side like the citizens of Drum Kingdom; but she's not as good at Luffy is at swaying people. |
| 375 | ** Navigation: When Nami falls ill, she acts as a substitute navigator to at least get the crew to an island where Nami can get aid. |
| 376 | ** Fighting: She is a great fighter and was a high ranking [[RankScalesWithAssKicking Baroque Works]] agent, but she's nowhere near as skilled as Luffy, Zoro, or Sanji. |
| 377 | ** Assassination: She was a professional assassin for Baroque Works for two years, but she pales in comparison to Robin's level of competence. |
| 378 | * KingIncognito: Well, "princess", but she disguised herself as a bounty hunter for the sole purpose of infiltrating Baroque Works and maintained the ruse for years. |
| 379 | * LadyOfWar: She maintains a level of grave in combat due to her uniquely dexterous weapons, relying on whipping and swaying motions to attack. |
| 380 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JtCVo80ANM Vivi Eyecatcher]]. |
| 381 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: |
| 382 | ** She's the only character outside of the Straw Hats to identify Luffy's real message when he rang the Ox Bell, even pegging his new tattoo as the important thing before Zoro did. Since she is unaware of the crew's plans on Sabaody, she's unable to interpret the message. |
| 383 | ** [[spoiler:When Morgans is about to write an article about Luffy taking Vegapunk hostage, Vivi berates at him that Luffy would never do that. Shortly after, Luffy yells at the Five Elder Stars that he's got Vegapunk and that if they don't comply to what he's requesting, he's going to harm York. Vivi, Wapol and Morgans, who are listening in thanks to the latter's black Transponder Snail, are shocked about what Luffy is saying. From Vivi's perspective, it's an "OOCIsSeriousBusiness" scenario, since she's unaware that Vegapunk is actually asking for the Straw Hats' escort and that his rogue Satellite York is TheMole who has been selling intel to the Five Elder Stars.]] |
| 384 | * LongHairIsFeminine: She's a kind and feminine young princess, and has the long hair to match. |
| 385 | * LooseLips: Poor Vivi got so flustered about Crocodile's tyrannical hold over her kingdom that she blurted out his real name to the Straw Hats instead of his code name of Mr. 0... while being watched by the [[{{Irony}} Unluckies]]. That got them on Baroque Works' radar... and Nami promptly shook Vivi like a tree until she was apologizing through humorous tears for roping them into a battle with a Warlord. |
| 386 | * LosingAShoeInTheStruggle: Arabian dancer's wedges with her disguise Sanji picked out for her are not built for running around a city in panic. The strap on one snapped, both sandals flew off her feet, and she fell to the ground, skinning her knee. Vivi was forced to struggle onward barefooted across ''cobblestone'', and did so [[MadeOfIron amazingly well, with nothing but a few tiny scratches to show for it.]] |
| 387 | * LovedByAll: The whole of Alabasta loves her, no exceptions. |
| 388 | * MaleGaze: Her Miss Wednesday outfit in the manga had a top with concentric circles on the bust, drawing anyone's eyes right to her chest, as part of her perfume dance hypnosis. Probably intentional, considering her attack relies on catching an enemy off-guard. In the anime, the top is striped instead, because the original circles resemble nipples. The prequel to ''Movie 8'' manages to get away with the look accurate to the manga, though. |
| 389 | * MartialPacifist: Vivi abhors war and the thought of people dying, but she's capable of defending herself despite that. |
| 390 | * MissingMom: Nefeltari Titi, shown only in Episode 0, is Vivi's posthumous mother. She passed on before she could watch Vivi grow up, leaving only Cobra and his attendants to raise Vivi. [[spoiler:After Cobra is assassinated at the Reverie, Vivi becomes an orphan]]. |
| 391 | * ModestRoyalty: The only time she's ever seen in anything fancy is for a specific formal occasion. She's dressed pretty casually everywhere else. |
| 392 | * TheMole: She infiltrated Crocodile's organization and climbed high in the ranks in order to undermine his plans to sabotage her kingdom. |
| 393 | * MsFanservice: Literal example -– on the cover of Chapter 610, Oda actually responded to some guy's specific fetish,[[note]] (his editor's)[[/note]] which involved none other than Vivi scrubbing the floor while drenched in water. |
| 394 | * NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Fittingly for the princess of a desert country, her family name is derived from Queen Nefertiti. |
| 395 | * NiceGirl: Vivi is so nice and cares so much for her people that she can't stand the idea of a single person dying in a war. And she becomes a well-loved friend and ally to the Straw Hats thanks to her kind nature. |
| 396 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Discussed during the Alabasta arc; Vivi gets called out for how her attempts to resolve the civil war in the best possible way runs a high risk of failing and resulting in more damage than if she had just been a little more pragmatic. |
| 397 | * NowYouTellMe: A RunningGag with her in the Alabasta arc is that she tends to forget telling her friends about the dangers of the desert (like giant animals and the like) until the problem's already showed up or been dealt with. |
| 398 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: |
| 399 | ** She's generally a very nice person, and while she has her moments of panic and worry, only Crocodile has managed to make her ''very'' angry, as anything related to him sets her off, swearing to kill him if she ever got the chance. Heck, trying to mess with her country brings out this reaction. |
| 400 | ** Invoked by Cobra, Igaram, and Pell at the end of the Enies Lobby arc when they worry how she'll react upon learning Nico Robin, the former Miss All-Sunday, had joined the Straw Hats (in fact, Robin technically took Vivi's place). Vivi said she already knew and isn't angry at all, because she trusts Luffy's judgement. |
| 401 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: She has quite a bit of competence and combat ability for a princess, but is going up against an organization in which the majority of those who outrank her have Devil Fruit powers, and most of her allies are similarly stronger than her; she, Igaram, and their partners all lose to Zoro ([[BadassNormal who also lacks Devil Fruit powers]]). |
| 402 | * PluckyGirl: Even with so much hardship thrown her way, Vivi remains a brave and kind young woman. She'd need a lot of pluck to last as long as she did undercover. |
| 403 | * PoliticallyActivePrincess: After the Alabasta arc, she became this, eventually representing her country in Reverie alongside her ill father. |
| 404 | * PoorCommunicationKills: This is a RunningGag. She constantly forgets to inform the Straw Hats about very important things from Baroque Works agents to the Alabastian desert wildlife until they have already happened. |
| 405 | * PrincessesPreferPink: The princess of Alabasta and often seen wearing pink, sporting a pink dress when attending Reverie. |
| 406 | * RedOniBlueOni: |
| 407 | ** The blue oni to Nami's red oni, as shown with their hair colors. While Nami is an aggressive FieryRedhead from a poor background, Vivi is an openly polite girl of royalty. |
| 408 | ** She serves Blue oni to Luffy as well; Vivi's more pragmatic, diplomacy-based leadership contrasts Luffy's impulsive need for excitement and tendency to drag the crew into danger. |
| 409 | * TheReveal: Donquixote Doflamingo reveals in a speech, almost as an anecdote, that Vivi's family lineage is actually one of the 20 Kings that founded the World Government, but Vivi's ancestors chose to stay behind and rule Alabasta instead of moving to Mariejois, thus forfeiting their titles as World Nobles. Somewhat zigzagged in that [[spoiler:Queen Nefeltari Lily never actually made it home to Alabasta for unknown reasons]]. |
| 410 | * RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: |
| 411 | ** She was a mole in the secret organization trying to destabilize her country for two years of her life before getting found out. That's pretty awesome. |
| 412 | ** Extends to the entire Nefeltari family, as they are actually one of the twenty families that founded the World Government 800 years ago. Instead of joining the other World Nobles on Marijoa, they decided to stay on Alabasta and lead their country. |
| 413 | * RunningGag: |
| 414 | ** She often grabs Usopp by the nose. Whenever she tries to pull him out, she is grabbing his nose. |
| 415 | ** Telling the Straw Hats vital information way too late, especially when the hints are so obvious. |
| 416 | * SayingTooMuch: The reason the Straw Hats end up getting involved to help her is mostly because she accidentally let slip that Crocodile was the leader of Baroque Works, with the Unluckies present to see it. |
| 417 | * SecretLegacy: Chapter 1085 reveals that [[spoiler:she's a member of the D Clan, and that her true name is Nefeltari D. Vivi]]. |
| 418 | * SecretlyWealthy: There was no indication of her wealth or status up until the point where Mr 5 and Miss Valentine show up to take her head. |
| 419 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: She looks just like her late mother, Queen Titi. Cobra even mistook her for her mother when she was dressed for her coming-of-age ceremony, and in episode 0, a young Titi is her daughter's spitting image. |
| 420 | * TaremeEyes: After being revealed as GoodAllAlong, the shape of her eyes softens to make her look kinder. |
| 421 | * TakingTheBullet: In Drum Kingdom arc, she takes the bullet that Sanji is about to take, grazing her arm. |
| 422 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: [[spoiler:After becoming a target of the Five Elders, she and [[{{Jerkass}} Wapol]] are forced to go on the run despite the two still disliking each other for their past encounters.]] |
| 423 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: During their brief time together, being the only two women on the Going Merry, Vivi contrasts Nami by being a noble princess while Nami is a tomboyish rogue. |
| 424 | * TookALevelInBadass: |
| 425 | ** Even if it was a short-lived battle, her defeat of Mr. 7 and Miss Father's Day shows that she did pick up pointers from watching the rest of the crew fight. |
| 426 | ** When she appears again at the start of the Whole Cake Island arc heading to the Reverie, she has gained some more abilities when she jumps from a crow nest several hundred feet in the air (while wearing high-heeled sandals, mind you) and lands perfectly safe. The anime even adds some flips. |
| 427 | * TraumaCongaLine: Holy ''crap''. The Alabasta arc was such a huge one to her. Whenever something so hopeful was going on for her, you should expect it to backfire horribly by outside interference from her enemies HiddenInPlainSight. |
| 428 | * TrueBlueFemininity: Vivi has long, wavy light blue hair and is a kind, caring princess. |
| 429 | * TsurimeEyes: Before being revealed as GoodAllAlong, she has sharply rendered eyes that fit her role as an antagonist. |
| 430 | * UndyingLoyalty: Has complete and absolute faith in Luffy and as one of the first and most important HonoraryTrueCompanion of the [[TrueCompanions Straw Hat Pirates]] she's one of his biggest supporters. [[spoiler: During the Egghead Arc, she's utterly insulted and ''very'' openly disdainful at hearing that [[WildCard "Big News" Morgans]] would be willing to [[MaliciousSlander write lies about Luffy in order to get a bigger reading audience]] and makes no bone about telling this to Morgans directly.]] |
| 431 | * VariableLengthChain: Her signature weapon, the string slashers, seem a bit long to just wrap around her [[ImpossibleHourglassFigure tiny waist]]. |
| 432 | * ViolenceReallyIsTheAnswer: She believes that she can stop Crocodile's coup by convincing the rebels they are in fact {{Unwitting Pawn}}s and stop the civil war Baroque Works is causing without anyone dying. Luffy, however, knows life isn't that simple, and convinces her that the best course of action is to stop screwing around and just attack the problem at its source; Crocodile himself. |
| 433 | * WarriorPrincess: The princess of Alabasta, and by no means a stranger to combat. |
| 434 | * WeakButSkilled: While not a powerhouse the same way Luffy and the Straw Hats are, she's still a capable fighter thanks to her time spent undercover in Baroque Works, and can fend off the organization's rank and file with ease. It's the more superhuman opponents that [[TheWorfEffect give her trouble]]. |
| 435 | * WiseBeyondHerYears: A trait seen as early as ten years old, when she refuses to make a scene after Wapol slaps her trying to provoke her, so that he doesn't incite an international incident. She also reminds Luffy about the responsibilities of a leader. In fact, this trope tips [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Dalton]] off that not only are the crew she's with decent fellows, but makes him figure out who she is after remembering the aforementioned Wapol incident. Also, as mentioned before, she's going to Reverie to represent her kingdom at only 18 years of age. |
| 436 | * TheWorfEffect: Vivi is legitimately a tough fighter, but all throughout her time with the crew, she's pitted against people who have Devil Fruit powers or ware otherwise monstrously strong whenever she's pressed into fighting (forcing her stronger friends to take up the mantle, such as Luffy against Crocodile or Sanji against Bon Clay). Despite her legitimate skill, she's at an extreme disadvantage to prove how lethal those enemies are. |

| 447 | |
| 448 | The king of Alabasta and Vivi's father. A wise and kind ruler of the land, though is almost overthrown by the munitions of Crocodile who uses his organization, Baroque Works, to spread discontent among his subjects and cause a civil war. Thanks to the Straw Hats, the plan is thwarted and the war ends. After which Cobra helps to rebuild the kingdom along with his subjects.\ |
| 449 | |
| 450 | He was once married to a woman named Nefeltari Titi, but she did not live to see her daughter grow up. Now, Cobra himself is in declining health and attempting to hold it together long enough to attend the Reverie one more time. |
| 451 | ---- |
| 452 | * BackForTheDead: [[spoiler:After hundreds of chapters of absence, Cobra comes back into the story for the Reverie, where he is later assassinated.]] |
| 453 | * CoolOldGuy: Talks rather casually, at least when it comes to Vivi's friends. He also cares a lot for his kingdom. |
| 454 | * DoNotGoGentle: [[spoiler:He spends his last moments alive utterly defiant and fearless in the face of Imu and the Elder Stars. Very fitting for someone whose full name is Nefeltari '''D.''' Cobra.]] |
| 455 | * DubNameChange: His name was changed to "Nebra" in the 4Kids dub. |
| 456 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:Outside a half-hearted wry token attempt to talk the Five Elder Stars out of killing him (which Cobra himself seems fully aware that it will fail, judging by his face), Cobra faces his execution at their and Imu's hands with an ''incredible'' amount of poise, fearlessness and dignity despite his situation, outright gives Sabo a mission to FlingALightIntoTheFuture and dies standing on his two feet while facing an utterly monstrous opposition, all while having a small smile on his face. The man ''absolutely'' followed the [[GivenNameReveal D.]] tradition of dying with your head held high.]] |
| 457 | * FlingALightIntoTheFuture: [[spoiler:Upon realizing he's not going to make it out of Mary Geoise alive, he asks Sabo to relay a message to Luffy and Vivi, about their shared initial D.]] |
| 458 | * GivenNameReveal: Chapter 1085 reveals that his true name is [[spoiler: Nefeltari D. Cobra]] |
| 459 | * TheGoodKing: His people always come first, no matter what. When Vivi suggests that blowing up their castle would end the rebellion, Chaka realizes that King Cobra would probably do the same thing, since Cobra doesn't value the castle that much to begin with. [[spoiler:Even someone like Dragon has nothing but good things to say about him, admitting that he's a rare kind of royals who actually care about their subjects and didn't take pleasure on his death]]. |
| 460 | * GoodParents: He's a wonderful and caring father to Vivi, and always attempts to do or say whatever is in her best interest. [[spoiler:True to this, when he's killed, Vivi spends a good amount of time grieving him while she and Wapol are given sanctuary by Morgans.]] |
| 461 | * HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler:His fate was sealed the moment Imu revealed themself to him.]] |
| 462 | * HeroicSacrifice: Attempts to cave in the underground tomb he's in via hidden mechanism in order to take down Crocodile. Subverted twice: it wouldn't have been enough to kill Crocodile, and Luffy ends up pulling Cobra out in the end, anyway. [[spoiler:And then played straight in the Egghead Arc, as he takes a shot meant for Sabo and dies from the wound.]] |
| 463 | * HeroWithBadPublicity: While Cobra is an all-around great guy who always puts his people first, [[spoiler:his assassination is ''celebrated'' by the world at large. Few people outside of Alabasta know much about him, and as such the general public views Sabo's ([[{{Frameup}} alleged]]) murder of Cobra as just desserts for a World Government bootlicker]]. |
| 464 | * IncurableCoughOfDeath: Played with, while he’s been sick for a while he doesn’t seem too be dying. Wapol thinks he won’t last long and Cobra himself tries to exploit it to get Vivi to choose a husband. |
| 465 | * IWantGrandkids: Cobra really wants Vivi to get married soon, preferably before he dies. Justified as the royal family needs to continue. |
| 466 | * IWillOnlySlowYouDown: [[spoiler:While Sabo is trying to rescue him from Imu and the Five Elder Stars at the Reverie, King Cobra tells Sabo to leave him behind, as he realizes that the latter can't escape with him weighing Sabo down. Instead, he gives Sabo a message to pass on to Vivi and Luffy.]] |
| 467 | * KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler:He's assassinated during the Reverie, implicitly by the World Government, with Sabo being accused of the death. Although the "Offscreen" part is subverted as the context surrounding his assassination is later shown to the readers via flashback]]. |
| 468 | * KneelBeforeFrodo: At the end of the Alabasta arc, he kneels down and thanks the Straw Hats for taking down Crocodile, and saving Alabasta, and protecting Vivi. |
| 469 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Subverted. While he's named "Cobra", he's mostly an average middle-aged man with little, if any, means of fighting. |
| 470 | * NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: It's less obvious for him than for his daughter and late wife, but their surname is derived from queen Nefertari; fitting for the royal family of a desert kingdom. |
| 471 | * NervesOfSteel: Cobra is absolutely ''fearless'' when talking to [[spoiler: [[EvilReactionary The Five Elder Stars]] about Nefeltari Lili, sees through their minor obfuscating about the subject and later point blank asks them what the Will of D. means. During the whole conversation he's the one leading the pace and outrights drops a bombshell that surprises ''the Five Elder Stars'' and he's as cool-headed and affable as ever. The only thing that startles him is seeing Imu openly sits on the Empty Throne and ''that'' even startles the Five Elder Stars themselves.]] |
| 472 | * NiceGuy: He's a king and has all of the prestige and power that implies, but first and foremost he's a good man who's nothing but kind and gentle to everyone, whether they're pirates, royals, commoners, or Revolutionaries. [[spoiler:One of his last acts is to take a lethal hit for Sabo just so he can escape.]] |
| 473 | * PapaWolf: Came to Vivi's rescue when bandits tried to kidnap her. Although when Pell slapped her because of AngerBornOfWorry, Cobra stopped Igaram from firing him. |
| 474 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Very much so. If he's told the country is getting poor and it's becoming hard to feed all the citizens, he just cuts down on his own money to give his subjects something to eat. |
| 475 | * RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Cares very deeply for his country and tries the best he can to help his subjects. |
| 476 | * TheReveal: His role in expositioning about the secrets his ancestors kept, and had passed onto him, such as the Ancient Weapons and the Poneglyphs can be summed up to this, pre-timeskip [[spoiler:and post-timeskip, it's revealed almost nonchalantly his ancestors were none other than one of the 20 Kings who founded the World Government -- this guy could easily have been a Celestial Dragon if his ancestors didn't stay to rule and fulfill their obligations.]] It's later revealed that [[spoiler:Queen Nefeltari Lily, one of the original 20 kings, never actually made it home to Alabasta, which is likely related to her, and her entire family line, also being members of [[SecretLegacy the D Clan]]]]. |
| 477 | * SayingTooMuch: [[spoiler:Cobra unknowingly sealed his fate the moment he brought up Lily's letter]]. |

| 479 | * StunnedSilence: Cobra is justifiably baffled when [[spoiler:Imu sits on the Empty Throne during Cobra's audience with the Elders]]. |
| 480 | * TakingYouWithMe: Subverted. He pulls down a load bearing pillar in the tomb so it will collapse and kill everyone inside, including himself. Unfortunately, Crocodile's abilities would allow him to escape such a trap and the point is made moot when Luffy arrives anyway. |
| 481 | * TellMeAboutMyFather: Cobra plans to ask about what his ancestors had done in Reverie, because of what Robin said about Poneglyphs. [[spoiler:He gets a private audience with the Elders, but he doesn't make it out of the meeting alive]]. |
| 482 | * UniversallyBelovedLeader: He is a good and caring ruler and thus beloved by his people. This wasn't the case during Crocodile's operation Utopia however, where he framed Cobra and managed to turn half the nation against itself and its king. |

| 486 | [[folder:Nefeltari Lily '''(Unmarked Spoilers)''']] |
| 487 | !!Queen Nefeltari D. Lily |
| 488 | !!!Age: Unknown |
| 489 | !!! Debut, chapter 1084 (mentioned) |
| 490 | A former Queen of Alabasta, and one of the twenty founding members of the world Government. Unlike the other nineteen families that chose to stay in Mary Geoise and become Celestial Dragons, Lily instead chose to return home and continue to rule as Queen in Alabasta for unknown reasons. However, by all accounts, she never returned back to Alabasta after departing from Mary Geoise.\ |
| 491 | |
| 492 | What happened to her is unknown, but she did leave behind a mysterious letter, passed down through the Nefeltari family for generations, that has something to do with The Will of D. She also has some sort of connection with Imu, the Shadow Ruler of the World, as King Cobra merely mentioning her name was enough to get Imu to reveal their existence to Cobra. |
| 493 | |
| 494 | ---- |
| 495 | |
| 496 | * ConnectedAllAlong: Through Lily, the Nefeltari Family are revealed to have deep connections to the World Government, Imu, and the secret behind the Will of D. |
| 497 | * FlingALightIntoTheFuture: According to Imu, the Poneglyphs were never supposed to be scattered around the world, and it was Lily's fault that they were. Her letter also contained instructions to future generations of the Nefeltari family that were partially revealed to us. |
| 498 | --> The Poneglyphs must be [sic]-cted. Bear the flag of the dawn against the [sic]-ing world. |
| 499 | * GivenNameReveal: Through the letter she left behind for her descendants, it's revealed that her true name was Nefeltari [[SecretLegacy D.]] Lily, confirming that the Nefeltari family are members of the D clan. This goes a long way into explaining why the Nefeltaris decided not to join the other founding members of the World Government in Mary Geoise and become Celestial Dragons centuries ago. |
| 500 | * NeverFoundTheBody: Following her departure from Mary Geoise 800 years ago, she simply vanishes from history, with no record of what became of her. |
| 501 | * OfferedTheCrown: She was given the chance to become a Celestial Dragon, but refused. |
| 502 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: She is supposedly the spitting image of her many-times great granddaughter, Vivi. |
| 503 | * WalkingSpoiler: It's virtually impossible to talk about her without talking about her and her family's connection to the World Government, the Celestial Dragons, and the Will of D. |

| 513 | |
| 514 | Vivi's pet super-spot billed duck, who travels with the Straw Hats during Vivi's time among the crew. |
| 515 | ---- |
| 516 | * ActionPet: Karoo serves as Vivi's mount in battle and even takes part in the action himself in Little Garden. |
| 517 | * ButtMonkey: If anyone could out-ButtMonkey the Straw Hats, it's Karoo. From running himself and Vivi off the roof of a house, to being mercilessly beaten by Mr. 5, to jumping into freezing cold water to save Zoro (who wandered off anyway), to being used as ''fishing bait'' by Luffy and Usopp; this duck doesn't have it easy. |
| 518 | * CowardlyLion: Although he gets scared easily, he is still willing to stay with the Straw Hats during their battles, even playing a vital role in defeating Mr. 3 and Miss Goldenweek. |
| 519 | * FeatherFingers: He's often used for throwaway gags (like being able to use fishing poles or even ''scissors''), but played 100% seriously when he grabs onto the Alubarna Plateau's edge while fleeing from Bon Clay. |
| 520 | * FragileSpeedster: Karoo is an extremely speedy duck, to the point of being the leader of a squad of them. That doesn't mean that he's great in a straight on fight, however. |
| 521 | * HorseOfADifferentColor: Vivi uses Karoo as a form of transportation. |
| 522 | * InconsistentSpelling: His name has been spelled as "Karoo" and "Carue". |
| 523 | * TheKlutz: He has this reputation among the Straw Hats due to his general miscordination. To be fair, it's not unjustified. |
| 524 | * ALizardNamedLiz: Karoo is named after the Japanese word "karugamo" which translates to "spot-billed duck". |
| 525 | * MadeOfIron: This bird gets trampled by a charging army's cavalry and still can find the strength to run from Bon Clay while carrying Vivi, climb a hundred foot wall (still carrying Vivi), ''and'' bob and weave through an active war zone (while still [[RuleOfThree carrying Vivi]]). Say what you will about Karoo, do ''not'' call him weak. |
| 526 | * SpottingTheThread: When Usopp comes to rescue Vivi and an injured Karoo, he refers Karoo as "that bird". Considering Usopp's friendship with Karoo, it immediately tips Vivi off that something isn't right. [[spoiler: It's revealed that Mr. 2 Bon Clay disguised himself as Usopp.]] |
| 527 | * TeamPet: While he and Vivi are Straw Hats, he fills the role of the crew's animal companion, being looked at as a pet to the crew and a steed to Vivi and, at one point, Usopp. Ironically this is in the same saga where Chopper joins the crew, who is mistaken all the time for the Team Pet. |
| 528 | * ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: One of his most underrated moments is on Little Garden: with the rest of the crew either absent or incapacitated, he patiently ''digs'' Luffy out from under a Sea King skeleton (that Dorry had trapped him under earlier) with his bill. |
| 529 | * UndyingLoyalty: To Vivi and the Straw Hats. When Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine try to force him to scream to draw the Straw Hats into a trap, he refuses to even make a sound. He also becomes very protective of the X-mark that he and the crew don on their forearms, refusing to let the palace guards touch it and saluting to the Straw Hats as they depart Alabasta. |

| 540 | |
| 541 | The commander of the Alabasta Royal Guard who went underover with Vivi in Baroque Works. |
| 542 | ---- |
| 543 | * DisguisedInDrag: Disguised himself as Vivi twice; first to try and pose as a decoy for her and the Straw Hats at Whiskey Peak, and the other during Vivi's coming-of-age ceremony to allow her time to properly say goodbye to the Straw Hats. |
| 544 | * GoodAllAlong: Just like Vivi, he poses as a Baroque Works agent until he's revealed to be a mole of the Alabasta kingdom. |
| 545 | * IncrediblyConspicuousDrag: Igaram is a tall, 48-year-old man with broad shoulders. Vivi is a slim teenage girl. Do the math. It's all PlayedForLaughs, of course. |
| 546 | * InstrumentOfMurder: He used a saxophone to fight while undercover as a Baroque Works agent. |
| 547 | * LookAlikeLovers: His wife Terracotta looks so much like him that the Straw Hats initially mistook Terracotta for Igaram DisguisedInDrag. |
| 548 | * TheMole: He infiltrates Crocodile's organization and climbed pretty high in the ranks, becoming the eighth ranked individual behind Crocodile, in order to undermine his plans about the kingdom he serves. |
| 549 | * NotQuiteDead: He seemingly dies when Robin blows up his ship, but he turns out fine and dandy in the Alabasta arc, having survived the blast. |
| 550 | * PapaWolf: In flashbacks especially, he's ''more'' aggressively protective of Vivi than [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure the more even-tempered]] Cobra, even [[WouldHurtAChild threatening to beat up the ten-year-old Koza]] for getting in a brawl with Vivi. |
| 551 | * PaperThinDisguise: An aging man disguising himself as a teenage girl looks about as unconvincing as you'd expect, but the second time he does, it distracts the citizens long enough to give Vivi the time to say goodbye to the Straw Hats. |
| 552 | * UndyingLoyalty: He's very devoted the Alabasta royal family, to the point of refusing to let Vivi infiltrate Baroque Works alone and ends up doing an HeroicSacrifice to draw the attention away from her. He survives the latter, though. |
| 553 | * VerbalTic: He often coughs in the middle of speaking, followed by a short ''"Ma-ma-ma~"'' vocal exercise before he resumes his speech. |

| 566 | |
| 567 | The lieutenant of the Royal Guard of Alabasta under commander Chaka. He was very close to Vivi during her youth. He has eaten the Bird-Bird Fruit (''Tori Tori no Mi'') Model: Falcon. |
| 568 | ----- |
| 569 | * AngerBornOfWorry: Slaps a young Vivi in the face ''hard'' during a flashback for going near the gunpowder storage and causing an explosion. She came out of the blast with nothing more than an AshFace, but it could've ended a lot worse. |
| 570 | -->'''How many times must I tell you to never come near this place!''' ''(Sorrowful)'' What would I do if you had been seriously hurt, or worse...!? |
| 571 | * {{Animorphism}}: Pell ate the Bird-Bird Fruit Model: Falcon, allowing him to become a giant falcon or a human-hawk hybrid at will. |
| 572 | * BigDamnHeroes: Pell is the one responsible for saving Luffy from his possible second death at the hands of Crocodile and later goes to save a falling Vivi alongside Luffy. |
| 573 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: While he survives the blast, he has no way of knowing that as he lifts the bomb high into the air. He can be seen smiling as he makes his final speech. |
| 574 | * FacialMarkings: Pell has marks that look like crosses around his eyes. |
| 575 | * {{Flight}}: Pell comments that his devil fruit is one of the few ones to hands the user the ability to fly, since he can turn into a hawk. |
| 576 | * HeroicSacrifice: Pell takes the time bomb that is meant to blow Alubarna and then brings it up to the sky with him, taking the explosion only for himself. Of course, he turns out injured but alive, though it takes him some time to recover and he has a massive scar on his chest. |
| 577 | * IntergenerationalFriendship: With Vivi. He's not that old, but he was already an adult when Vivi was a young child. |
| 578 | * LikeBrotherAndSister: He's a lot more familial to Vivi than the other knights of their kingdom, with him acting as the protective older brother to her PluckyGirl personality. |
| 579 | * NoOneCouldSurviveThat: He gets caught in the explosion of a bomb designed to wipe out a whole city. Except... he's a Zoan Devil Fruit-eater, which gives him a boosted HealingFactor. |
| 580 | * NotQuiteDead: Pell seemingly sacrifices himself to take away a bomb that would've destroyed Alubarna but turns out he survived. When he returns home, he finds his own grave. |
| 581 | * OlderThanHeLooks: In a flashback where Vivi was only 6, he looked exactly the same as he does now. |
| 582 | * PapaWolf: Towards Vivi. The first thing he does when we see him in the present day? Shoot down a bunch of Baroque Works agents attempting to kill her. |
| 583 | * RuleOfSymbolism: As he's carrying Crocodile's bomb into the sky, the falcon statue in front of the royal palace, having been weakened by Crocodile's drying attack, collapses and breaks into pieces, symbolizing Pell's (supposed) death. |
| 584 | * TheWorfEffect: Effortlessly defeats a bunch of Mooks only to be beaten by Nico Robin. |

| 601 | * NotQuiteTheRightThing: When Cobra disappears right before the rebel attack, Chaka just defaults to defending the city from the rebels. This is not an unreasonable decision, but it plays right into Crocodile's plans. |
| 602 | * SkewedPriorities: He briefly protests when Vivi proposes blowing up the Alabasta royal palace to shock the rebels into a ceasefire over the importance and history of the palace.

But when another crisis hits the land during his teenage years, he grows discontent with Cobra and forms a rebel force to overthrow him, unaware however that it's exactly what Crocodile wants. Midway through the war he finds out who the true villain is and is badly wounded. However he lives and helps end the civil war along with Cobra. In Gedatsu's mini-adventure, Koza is helping to rebuild the land to its former glory. |
| 614 | ----- |

| 616 | * AntiHero: Koza leads the Alabasta rebellion movement with the intention of bettering the country, not knowing he's a pawn of Crocodile's plan. |
| 617 | * CallToAgriculture: Koza becomes Alabasta's environmental minister following the revolution, following his father's route. |
| 618 | * ChildhoodFriends: When they were kids, he was friends with Vivi. Also doubles as an InterclassFriendship since Vivi is a princess while he's a commoner. |
| 619 | * EveryoneHasStandards: He firmly refuses to [[ChildSoldiers allow a young boy to join the rebel army]], and has one of his men show off his horrific battle wounds to scare the boy away. |
| 620 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: He has a scar that runs down his left eye, which he gets in a flashback of Vivi's childhood, in which he saves Vivi from kidnappers. |
| 621 | * HeroAntagonist: He's leading the rebellion that serves as a major threat during the Alabasta arc, but only because he's an UnwittingPawn of Crocodile. He's motivated by his love of his country and when he catches on to the true plot he turns to working with the royals to try to stop the war. |
| 622 | * MadeOfIron: He may have been seriously injured during the civil war, but that doesn't stop him from ending it. |
| 623 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Koza is shocked when he realizes that Crocodile manipulated him into rebelling and that Cobra is actually a good king, and believes that he cannot be forgiven. |
| 624 | * OhCrap: When he breaches the palace and sees Crocodile fighting the Alabastan royal guard and holding the king hostage. Robin tells him that he should imagine the worst interpretation of this scene and he'll be close to the truth, which prompts Koza to immediately turn around and try to halt the rebellion. |
| 625 | * ReluctantWarrior: While rejecting a boy who wants to join the rebellion, one reason he gives is the boy wants to fight against the king. He and his men don't want it to come to war but they feel they have no choice. |

| 627 | * TookALevelInCynic: As a young man, he's somewhat more sullen compared to his hot-headed child self, and his first line upon being introduced in the present day is to remark that "this country has gone to the dogs." |
| 628 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Koza was not happy with the idea of starting a civil war and fighting the king, but he feels that's the only way to save Alabasta. Fortunately, Luffy and Vivi manage to defeat Crocodile and make Koza realize the error of his ways before too much blood could be shed. |
| 629 | * WouldHitAGirl: He got into fistfights with Vivi on two occasions as a child. The first time was when she provoked him by calling him a crybaby, and the second was a friendly fight for leadership of the Sand-Sand Bad. |

Cricket is allied with Masira and Shoujou, two brothers and fans of Noland's tales stick out with the old man who wants to prove that his ancestor was right. Their main activity is to look at the bottom of the sea to retrieve treasures in the hope of finding the gold, but Noland eventually understands that the gold may have been sent upward.\ |
| 659 | |

| 669 | * MadeOfIron: All of them took an absolute ass-kicking courtesy of the Bellamy Pirates, but as soon as they were [[HollywoodHealing bandaged up]], they started working on the ''Going Merry'' again. Usopp [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] this. |
| 670 | * MakeMeWannaShout: Shoujou can use his voice as a sonar and can wreak havoc on the surroundings with his sound waves. |
| 671 | * MusclesAreMeaningless: Shoujou discuss this trope when he wonders how could someone as small and skinny as Luffy kick the ass of someone big and strong like Masira. |
| 672 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Shoujo wonders if he could replace Crocodile as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Since he gets curb-stomped by Bellamy, of all people, he's clearly nowhere near the strength level of a typical Warlord (besides Buggy), and with a bounty of 36,000,000 Berries his threat level isn't considered to be overly high by Grand Line standards either. |
| 673 | * TakingTheBullet: Masira shields Cricket from Sarquiss' Big Chop attack. |
| 674 | * VisualPun: Masira's name comes from the old word for monkey (mashira), and both him and Shoujou (Orangutan) resemble their respective animals, and at Shoujou's sail there's written a word "morinohito" which translates to "manusia hutan" or "orang hutan" (yes, that's where the name of the ape came from) in Indonesian. |

Cricket wants to prove that his ancestor was not a liar and clean his family's reputation. After he hears the sound of the bell, Crickets understands Noland wasn't a liar and is relieved. |
| 686 | * BadassNormal: Even though he hasn't eaten a devil fruit, Cricket is a very strong fighter. |
| 687 | * BareFistedMonk: Cricket fights using a martial art similar to the Monkey Kung Fu, going with the Saruyama Alliance's monkey theme. |
| 688 | * {{Determinator}}: After stumbling into Jaya, Cricket decided to remain there to find proof that the city of gold, Shandora, really does exists and his ancestor wasn't a liar. Years later, in the present, he hasn't stopped the search, claiming he doesn't care if Noland was actually a liar and the city of gold didn't exist, as long as he could find the truth and settle the matter. All of his efforts pay off when he hears the bell, which is proof that Shandora actually exists and Noland wasn't a liar. |
| 689 | * HereditaryHairstyle: Exaggerated. As an indicator of being related to Noland, who lived centuries ago, Cricket has the same chestnut-shaped hair as his ancestor. |
| 690 | * LikeASonToMe: Masira and Shoujou met Cricket five years before the Skypiea arc and became his followers after learning of his family name, being fans of Mont Blanc Noland. Over time, Cricket grew to see them as his own sons. |
| 691 | * RetiredBadass: Cricket was the captain of a pirate crew until he stumbled into Jaya, the island in which his ancestor found the city of gold, and remained there to find proof that Noland wasn't a liar. When the Straw Hats meet him, he's living retired in a small house. |
| 692 | * VisualPun: The chestnut on his head is a nod to the ''Montblanc'' cake, a french sweet made with chestnuts. |

| 702 | * AllThereInTheManual: A databook later revealed the other members' names. |
| 703 | * BusCrash: It's implied that the rest of the crew, besides Bellamy, [[spoiler:did not survive the trip to Skypeia. Recall Gan Fall's remarks that unlike the all-or-nothing Knock-Up Stream route, the other ways to Sky Island always take a few lives...]] |
| 704 | * ChildhoodFriends: They grew up together according to a Vivre Card Databook. |
| 705 | * CurbStompBattle: They utterly destroy the poor members of the Saruyama Alliance, although it was Bellamy who does most of the work. |
| 706 | * {{Delinquents}}: Essentially a pirate variant, being young, shallow, and arrogant bullies who left their prosperous, safe hometown because they found it boring. |
| 707 | * InconsistentSpelling: Sarquiss, Sarkees, etc... |
| 708 | * {{Jerkass}}: Every single pirate in the crew are assholes just like their captain. |
| 709 | * MuggingTheMonster: They mock the Straw Hats, call them weak and pathetic, and even rob their new friends. Big mistake on that last one. |
| 710 | * RedBaron: Bellamy TheHyena and Big Knife Sarquiss. |
| 711 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: The new recruits at Jaya decide to abandon the group after Luffy defeats their captain Bellamy. |
| 712 | * SmugSnake: All of them think way too highly of themselves for their own good. |
| 713 | * StupidEvil: The entire crew are this, especially their captain Bellamy, because they can't help but be huge jerks when it would be more beneficial for them not to. It's precisely what causes them to run afoul of Donquixote Doflamingo after Bellamy loses to Luffy. |
| 714 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The fate of the crew after Doflamingo dismisses them is fairly vague. Bellamy mentions he lost his friends on his trip to Sky Island, but whether this means they died or parted ways is unknown. |

In this era of the sea, the ones that do not have real strength... are the ones that are killed by their own imaginations!"'' |
| 727 | |
| 728 | A pirate who's part of Doflamingo's pirate crew, nominally filling in as the captain of the Bellamy Pirates given that Doflamingo seems rather uninterested in leading his crew. Looking for information on Skypiea, Luffy runs into Bellamy while in Jaya. He's an extremly arrogant individual and believes that there will come an era where pirates give up on having and pursuing their dreams, going after material treasure instead of traveling the sea for the sake of adventure. 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 has eaten the Spring-Spring Fruit (''Bane Bane no Mi'') which allows him to transform his legs into springs, making him a BouncingBattler with [[InASingleBound incredible jumping power]].\ |
| 729 | |
| 730 | When Luffy joins the tournament in the Corrida Colosseum, Bellamy is revealed to be alive and well and still under the employment of Doflamingo. Unfortunately for him, he quickly finds out that Doflamingo doesn't care about him. After the events of Dressrosa, he retires from piracy and settles down to become an apprentice dyer.\ |
| 731 | |
| 732 | His first bounty was 55,000,000 Berries. Post-Timeskip, it has risen to 195,000,000 Berries. |
| 733 | ----- |
| 734 | * AllForNothing: As a child, Bellamy started his career in piracy to escape the monotony of wealthy civilian life for an exciting one and to earn the respect of his pirate idol: Donquixote Doflamingo. [[spoiler:Bellamy's largely troubled run as a pirate ultimately ends on bitter terms with his old friends presumably dead and with him realizing what a monster Doflamingo is, and he willingly returns to quiet civilian life.]] |
| 735 | * AntiVillain: [[spoiler:Much like Gin early in the series, despite realizing that his boss cares nil about him, Bellamy remains [[MyMasterRightOrWrong loyal to Doflamingo]] throughout the entirety of the Dressosa arc. It's only after Doflamingo's defeat that Bellamy finally undergoes a full HeelFaceTurn.]] Note that in his first appearance, he's a full-blown villain. |
| 736 | * ArbitrarySkepticism: He's on the Grand Line, which frequently screws with physics and natural law so often that it's expected just about anything could be real, yet he somehow doesn't believe in the possibility of ''an island in the sky''. [[spoiler:After the timeskip, Bellamy loses this trait, especially since he's actually ''been'' to said island in the sky, which changed his world-view considerably.]] |
| 737 | * ArcVillain: He's the main villain in the minor Jaya arc, and he's as equally as minor of a threat to Luffy as he's just beaten by ''a single hit''. |
| 738 | * BouncingBattler: Thanks to eating the Spring-Spring Fruit, he attacks opponents by using his legs as springs and constantly bouncing off of objects at high speeds. |
| 739 | * BreakTheHaughty: After Luffy [[CurbStompBattle takes him out in one punch]], [[spoiler:Bellamy lessens his ego considerably and in their next encounter he's not the arrogant prick of his first appearance. Tellingly, when Luffy and Bellamy have their rematch at Dressrosa, Bellamy is a completely broken suicidal man who wants to meet his end at the hands of one of the only two men he's ever respected]]. |
| 740 | * BrokenPedestal: Bellamy admired Doflamingo ever since he was a kid and aspires to become a part of his crew by any means necessary. But after hearing [[spoiler:Dellinger confirm that Doflamingo sent out an order for Bellamy to be killed and after Doffy himself beats Bellamy to a pulp, he realizes that Doflamingo never really cared about him and that he wasn't worth putting his faith in. He doesn't forgo his loyalty to Doflamingo out of his own honor until after Doflamingo's defeat, however.]] |
| 741 | * BrokenTears: [[spoiler:When he realizes that Dellinger is not kidding when he says that his idol Doflamingo wants him dead, he breaks down into tears. He breaks down again later when he receives a physical and verbal beatdown from Doflamingo himself]]. |
| 742 | * BullyingADragon: After realizing that Luffy and Zoro were given bounties larger than his, he thinks that their bounties were faked in order to intimidate him and attacks Luffy when he confronts Bellamy over stealing Cricket's gold. Needless to say, [[CurbstompBattle Bellamy soon finds out that Luffy's bounty wasn't a fluke.]] |
| 743 | * TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:He remains completely absent from the story after Doflamingo forces Sarquiss to attack him and dismisses him from his crew until a whopping ''401'' chapters later, where he's revealed to be working for Doflamingo again.]] |
| 744 | * CantCatchUp: [[spoiler:While he's not weak by any means, and is significantly stronger than in his debut, Bellamy's story in Dressrosa illustrates he cannot compete with the series' escalating cast of powerhouses. Furthermore, after losing his calling as a pirate once he is finally through with Doflamingo, Bellamy retires from piracy.]] |
| 745 | * CardCarryingVillain: "You're mad that I stole gold from that old timer? I'm a ''pirate''!" |
| 746 | * CerebusCallBack: Bellamy's fight with Luffy plays in Dressrosa out the exact same way as their fight in Jaya, but the context and tone of both scenes are completely different. In Jaya, Luffy beating down Bellamy was framed as a cathartic beatdown of an asshole who more than had it coming. In Dressorsa, it's framed as a suicide attempt of a broken man who built his entire life around the approval of a guy who never gave a shit about him. Tellingly, in Jaya Luffy is completely apathetic to Bellamy after beating him, but in Dressrosa Luffy's fight with Bellamy makes him ''livid'' at Doflamingo for playing with his friend's emotions. |
| 747 | * CharacterDevelopment: [[spoiler:He goes from a complete {{Jerkass}} to a nicer and less arrogant person after the TimeSkip.]] |
| 748 | * CombatPragmatist: He often uses underhanded tactics and intimidation to win his fights instead of fighting fairly. [[spoiler:His fighting style doesn't change much Post-Timeskip even after becoming a slightly better person, which is best displayed in his fight with Abdullah and Jeet when he stabs them in their feet with knives to immobilize them and leave them open to attack.]] |
| 749 | * CoolShades: [[spoiler:He wears a pair after the TimeSkip, but only briefly.]] |
| 750 | * CurbStompBattle: In by and far one of the most iconic moments of the series, Luffy flat out lays him out with one punch. Considering how much Bellamy acts like a jerk to Luffy and his friends throughout the entire Jaya Arc, him going down so pathetically is well-deserved. |
| 751 | ** [[spoiler: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 refused to attack him; [[OneHitKill once he leaves him with no choice, however]]...]] |
| 752 | * 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.]] |
| 753 | * DefeatEqualsFriendship: He ends up becoming one of Luffy's friends by the end of the Dressrosa arc. |
| 754 | * DontYouDarePityMe: [[spoiler:Yelled practically verbatim to Luffy when, after being freed from Doflamingo's control, he pushes himself to perform Spring Hopper even when it's clear he could die if his body pushes itself too far.]] |
| 755 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:After [[TookALevelInKindness Luffy turns him into a better person]] and [[BrokenPedestal his idol Doflamingo physically and mentally abuses by him]] during the events of Dressossa, he peacefully retires to become a dyed goods craftsman.]] |
| 756 | * EnhancedPunch: [[spoiler:His "Spring Death Knock" technique, where he turns one of his arms into a spring, compressses it and fires it to create a more powerful punch.]] |
| 757 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: He's introduced as a dirty {{Jerkass}} by stabbing Roshio the Executioner in the hand with a knife, then tossing him out the window and killing him with his spring powers... ''[[DisproportionateRetribution over a game of poker which Bellamy states he cheated]]''. Worse yet, Roshio didn't even cheat in the first place. |
| 758 | * FacePalmOfDoom: [[spoiler:The first thing he's shown doing in his appearance at Dressrosa is crushing a man's skull with his hand.]] |
| 759 | * {{Foil}}: Curiously enough, to [[spoiler:Trafalgar Law. Both join the Donquixote Pirates with a thirst for destruction and held Doflamingo in high esteem before eventually realizing how cruel and terrible of a person that Doflamingo really was. Law's traumatic childhood was the driving force of his motivations, while Bellamy was bored with his life as the town terror and wanted the fame and excitement that came with a life of piracy. Doflamingo saw tremendous potential in Law, pouring endless resources into his formal education and entrusting his executive officers with training him. He went so far as to reserve the coveted Heart seat for him and leaves it empty in the years following his defection, making it clear Law was always welcome to rejoin the family whenever he pleased. In a sharp contrast, Bellamy's position in the family was always shaky and despite his respectable bounty he remains a mere expendable thug, who the Family often belittles and constantly dangles his desperate wish to someday become an executive officer in his face. He is constantly under threat of expulsion from Doflamingo's crew if he ever gets defeated in battle and is eventually ordered to be executed by Doflamingo after being considered both a failure and an "eyesore". And while Law grows to resent Doflamingo for killing his father figure Rosinante and plans to take him down, Bellamy still has loyalty towards and fights for Doflamingo even after learning Doflamingo didn't care about him and brutally injures him.]] |
| 760 | * GlassCannon: He's capable of hitting like a truck thanks to his spring powers, but as [[CurbStompBattle shown in his fight against Luffy]], he can't take much punishment. |
| 761 | * GoodEyesEvilEyes: As a huge {{Jerkass}} and as the ArcVillain of the Jaya Arc, he noticeably has much larger, rounder eyes than the protagonists do. |
| 762 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: He first appeared with a scar above his right eye, adding to the already sinister look of his eyes and helping reflect his cruelty. [[spoiler:He has two more scars on both sides of his face Post-Timeskip, either gotten from his battle against Luffy or after Doflamingo [[PeoplePuppets forces Sarquiss to attack him with his knife]]]]. |
| 763 | * HeelFaceDoorSlam: |
| 764 | ** [[spoiler:He's 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 Doflamingo'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 that Luffy's MagneticHero tendencies doesn't work.]] |
| 765 | ** [[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 accept Luffy's help.]] |
| 766 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:After refusing to betray Doflamingo even after Doffy personally beats and mocks him, Bellamy does make an actual HeelFaceTurn after Luffy defeats Doflamingo. He and Luffy part on good terms, and even though Bellamy refuses to be Luffy's subordinate, he still requests a piece of Luffy's Vivre Card, just in case. He also peacefully retires and becomes an apprentice dyer.]] |
| 767 | * HonorBeforeReason: [[spoiler:His reason that he's still fighting on behalf of Doflamingo despite hearing of and witnessing his atrocities multiple times is that he feels so indebted to Doffy that he will not go against him.]] |
| 768 | * TheHyena: He's well known enough for his constant mocking laugh for his epithet to be "The Hyena". [[spoiler:He's not so much of one Post-Timeskip, as he's wised up quite a bit.]] |
| 769 | * {{Jerkass}}: Easily one of the more notable ones in the series, as he's shown to bully, mock, rob and kill other people as he pleases. His behavior mainly stems from his belief that in the New Age, pirates will strive to attain material wealth instead of achieving their dreams. |
| 770 | ** [[spoiler:He mellows out considerably after the TimeSkip, to the point where he no longer mocks Luffy but instead respects him as an individual.]] |
| 771 | * KiManipulation: [[spoiler:He's shown to be capable of using Armament Haki Post-Timeskip.]] |
| 772 | * LaserGuidedKarma: After bullying other people for so long, mocking them for being weak and robbing them of their treasure, he finally pushes his luck too far when he robs the Saruyama Alliance of their golden statue. As a result, Luffy beats him down with one punch and his idol Doflamingo later assaults and fires him because of his loss, making him feel the same pain that his previous victims suffered. |
| 773 | * ManiacTongue: He constantly sticks out his tongue, and he's an extremely cruel person. It's highly likely he picked it up from his similarly cruel idol Doflamingo. |
| 774 | * MeaningfulEcho: He screams "So long, Straw Hat!" before Luffy [[CurbStompBattle oneshots him]] in both of their fights. In Jaya, he says it as a mocking PreMortemOneLiner before he tries to kill Luffy. In Dressrosa, it's implied to be a genuine goodbye to Luffy before he attempts SuicideByCop at his hands. |
| 775 | * MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: Averted. Despite having every reason to turn against Doflamingo after the latter betrays him, Bellamy can't bring himself to turn against his principles and stays loyal to him. |
| 776 | * MuggingTheMonster: He assaults Luffy and Zoro due to their scrawny appearance and believes that Luffy's exceptional bounty must've been fake. Luffy actually lets him get away with this, but then Bellamy takes things too far by victimizing his new friends shortly afterwards... and it ''does not'' end well for Bellamy this time. |
| 777 | * MyMasterRightOrWrong: [[spoiler:Despite seeing his idol's true colors for himself and his idol brutally beating him, he refuses to turn against Doflamingo due to still having his long-lasting respect for him and decides to attack Luffy of his own free will.]] |
| 778 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Bellamy is a rather violent thug since he brutally beats up his victims without much restraint. [[spoiler:It seems Bellamy has become even more brutal Post-Timeskip because he uses his spring abilities to break Abdullah and Jeet's spines.]] |
| 779 | ** [[spoiler:He's also on the receiving end of one twice in Dressrosa, once by Dellinger and another time by Doflamingo himself.]] |
| 780 | * NoRespectGuy: Of the Donquixote Pirates, [[spoiler:especially after the timeskip]]. Despite being a tough fighter with a very useful Devil Fruit power [[spoiler:and eventually Armament Haki that (when combined with his spring powers) can break through even Luffy's, who gives Doflamingo a building-sized pillar of gold as tribute and would literally rather die than live with disappointing him]], they don't just reject him as useless, but go out of their way to ''torture him to death''. |
| 781 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: [[spoiler:After the TimeSkip, his bounty tripled, he grew twice his original height, he survives a trip to Skypeia and brings back gold from there to Doflamingo, and he's shown to be able to use [[KiManipulation Armament Haki]]. Many watching the Corrida Colosseum tournament expect him to win at least Block B, and he does amazingly well... until King Elizabello II, whose "King Punch" is believed to be strong enough to take down an Emperor, uses said King Punch to knock Bellamy and almost everyone else on the block out of the arena. He gets beaten to near-death by Dellinger, Doflamingo himself, and finally by Luffy with a single punch, showing that he's still weaker compared to quite a few of the other New World combatants.]] |
| 782 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Bellamy tries giving one to Luffy before their fight. [[CurbStompBattle Fat lot of good that does for him.]] Here's the Japanese version of his speech: |
| 783 | -->'''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!''' |
| 784 | ** And here's the Funimation version: |
| 785 | -->'''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! |
| 786 | * SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: One of the reasons he hates Luffy is for his belief in dreams and the existence of an island in the sky, [[spoiler:something that Bellamy laters discovers actually exists when he travels there himself. This completely changes his worldview and he at the very least no longer mocks Luffy for his beliefs.]] |
| 787 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Fifty-five million Berries isn't worth much for a bounty, even prior to the TimeSkip, yet he still acts like he's the biggest deal in Jaya and thinks that other pirates such as Luffy are beneath him. Even after he learns of Luffy's bounty being higher than his own, Bellamy is too egotistical to think this new bounty was real and challenges Luffy regardless. [[spoiler:After the TimeSkip, he gets over his ego and becomes much more likable, to the point that he and Luffy actually ''respect'' each other.]] |
| 788 | * SmugSnake: He's always gloating about how he's the "Big-time Rookie" with a 55 million Berry bounty and believes that because of his superior bounty, he has the right to mock Luffy about his dreams. In reality, his bounty is ''nowhere'' near as high as the real big-time rookies; the Eleven Supernovas, with bounties over 100 million, and Luffy already has this status by the time Bellamy meets him. Even after he learns of Luffy's new bounty, Bellamy is smug enough to think said bounty was a hoax and that he could still win in a fight against Luffy, [[CurbStompBattle which does not end well for him.]] [[spoiler:After the timeskip, he at least seems to be less of an arrogant dick due to him actually respecting Luffy instead of mocking him.]] |
| 789 | * SpringCoil: His Devil Fruit allows him to turn his legs into springs. [[spoiler:Later, Post-Timeskip, he shows the ability to turn his arms into springs as well.]] |
| 790 | * SuicideByCop: His rematch against Luffy in Dressrosa. Bellamy knows that he has zero chance against him, but the events of the arc have left him so broken that he wants to hang on to whatever pride he has left and meet his end at the hands of the only man other than Doflamingo who he's ever respected. Subverted in that Luffy doesn't kill him. |
| 791 | * ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: His EstablishingCharacterMoment in the manga when he loses to the pirate Roshio. He stabs Roshio's hand with a knife just as the latter is about to take his winnings and accuses him of cheating. Then he shoots Roshio in the leg while breaking a bottle of alcohol over his head, lights him on fire, and shoves him out the nearest window. And finally, he uses his [[SpringCoil spring powers]] to crush Roshio to death. |
| 792 | * TooDumbToLive: |
| 793 | ** 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 and that you should ask for forgiveness and just hand over the gold that you stole. This, apparently, doesn't occur to Bellamy, and he gets laid out for it. |
| 794 | ** [[spoiler:When we see him again after the time skip he seems to wise up ''considerably'', with him even being the first person to see through Luffy's PaperThinDisguise. However, when Dellinger lets it slip that Doflamingo intends to have him killed regardless of whether he plans to assassinate Luffy or not, he personally heads off to Doffy's castle to confront him about it even after receiving an asskicking from Dellinger himself. This goes as well as you'd expect, with Doffy predictably physically and verbally abusing Bellamy right afterwards and [[PeoplePuppets using him as a puppet]] to fight against both Luffy and Law. Although it is less of foolishness and more of denial since he worshiped Doflamingo for so long]]. |
| 795 | * TookALevelInBadass: Amazingly, he did. For one, his bounty has [[spoiler:more than tripled since his encounter with Luffy. He's also shows proficiency in [[KiManipulation Armament Haki]] over the TimeSkip. It's telling is that, in a gladiator tournament filled with New World-level combatants, he's one of the favorites to win the whole thing.]] |
| 796 | * TookALevelInKindness: [[spoiler: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.]] |
| 797 | * {{Troll}}: [[spoiler:Post-Timeskip, he taunts Luffy about the possiblity that he did something to the Skypeians offscreen. But the cover pages already show that Skypeia is doing fine.]] |
| 798 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: Justified. From his first perspective, Luffy is a pirate with a bounty lower than his, thus Bellamy mocks him and beats him as he wants, especially because Luffy doesn't fall to his provocations. However, after learning about Luffy's newest bounty and experiencing firsthand his actual strength (by being defeated in a single punch), Bellamy realizes that Luffy is leagues above him. When Doflamingo is punishing Bellamy for losing to Luffy and dishonoring the Donquixote Pirates' flag, Bellamy even states that Luffy could become a genuine threat someday, [[spoiler:a statement that would become true when Luffy defeats Doflamingo in the Dressrosa Arc]]. |
| 799 | * UndyingLoyalty: Deconstructed. Much like Gin, Bellamy devotes himself to a man who is unworthy of his loyalty. [[spoiler:''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.]] |
| 800 | * VirtueIsWeakness: In his debut, Bellamy mocks and considers people such as Luffy weak for believing in their dreams since he considers material treasure the future of piracy. [[spoiler:After Luffy beats him in one hit and seeing that sky island is real after all, he no longer holds this sentiment. When he meets Luffy again, he explains that he's matured and would no longer laugh at him.]] |
| 801 | * VocalEvolution: [[spoiler:In the English dub, his voice is considerbly deeper when he shows up in Dressrosa. Fans thought he was recast, but when he [[CallingYourAttacks calls his attacks]], his higher pitch can be heard.]] |
| 802 | * WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:He's not only confirmed to still be alive in the second half of the series, but he also managed to get back into the Donquixote Pirates.]] |
| 803 | * TheWorfEffect: In Dressrosa, he's built up as a serious threat, actually defeating some gladiators, only for both Elizabello's [[MegatonPunch King Punch]] and Bartolomeo's [[BarrierWarrior Barrier-Barrier Fruit]] to KO him. |
| 804 | * WorthyOpponent: [[spoiler:His words in Chapter 706 imply he has respect for Luffy as he won't laugh at him anymore, and he even regrets having to assassinate Luffy after Doflamingo orders him to because of his newfound respect.]] |
| 805 | * YouHaveFailedMe: A non-lethal example. Doflamingo doesn't take the news of Bellamy's defeat against Luffy well and punishes him by both [[PeoplePuppets making his first mate Sarquiss stab him]] and by dismissing Bellamy's crew from being affiliated with the Donquixote Pirates. [[spoiler:He gets back into Doflamingo's crew later by giving him a golden pillar from Skypeia.]] |
| 806 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:After losing the Corrida Colosseum tournament and losing his chance to get an executive position in Doffy's crew, Doflamingo initially gives him one more chance by ordering him to kill Luffy. But before Bellamy can go through with his order, he considers Bellamy unreliable and "an eyesore" and sends Dellinger to kill him instead. Doffy changes his mind after beating Bellamy viciously and using him as a human shield against Luffy and Law, sparing his life and letting him be free to do what he wanted.]] |

| 819 | * {{BFS}}: Sarquiss' "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Big Knife]]", which earned him his nickname. |

| 822 | * KukrisAreKool: Sarquiss' weapon is a big knife resembling a Kukri. |
| 823 | * MuggingTheMonster: He intentionally bumps into Blackbeard, viciously insults his weight and even threatens him. In response, Teach casually smashes his face into the ground, knocking him out on the spot. |
| 824 | * TooDumbToLive: After witnessing somebody who his crew underestimated in terms of power and who they frequently bullied beating up his captain, you would think that Sarquiss would learn to not be so much of a jerk to people he didn't know. He didn't, and he ends up getting his face smashed onto the ground by Blackbeard after showing hostility towards him. |

The island looks like a circular archipelago of ten smaller islands at a normal glance, but every ten years the tide will recede and reveal the connecting land between the mountains, allowing land-locked travelers to move. It is inhabited by plants and animals with unusually stretched proportions, but otherwise has no noteworthy features. |

| 839 | A nomad the Straw Hats meet on Long Ring Long Land. He wound up stuck on a pair of stilts he made for tens years and was only freed when Luffy knocked them down by accident. He's reunited with his horse Sherry but comes under confrontation from Foxy and his crew. The SH agree to fight Foxy for Tonjit's sake after Sherry is shot. After the Straw Hats win the Davy Back Fight, Aokiji freezes the water so Tonjit can rejoin his tribe. |
| 840 | ----- |
| 841 | * BerserkButton: Tries to gun down Foxy when the latter shoots his horse. Subverted when he calms down as soon as Luffy accept the challenge, and even buys food from Foxy's stand during the Davy Back Fight. |
| 842 | * CloudCuckoolander: To sum up, he built a pair of stilts so tall that he was unable to descend and was struck there for ten years. He also greets Luffy and Chopper like they're old time friends when they first meet and when Luffy and Chopper point that out, he casually remarks about how he didn't remember them at all, much to Usopp's consternation. |
| 843 | * CoolHorse: Shelly, his extremely loyal steed, who waited for him for ten years. |
| 844 | * MiniatureSeniorCitizen: He only reaches around Luffy's stomach in height. |
| 845 | * TooDumbToLive: From the stilt accident (again, ''ten years''), to eating some clearly dodgy "cheese" (actually a hardened gruel of milk) and suffering from intoxication. Heck, even Luffy calls him on that. |

| 853 | |
| 854 | The huge pirate crew serving Foxy, many of its members were former pirates who lost at the Davy Back Fight game. The relevant members are Porche, Hamburg, Pickles, Capote, Monda, and Big Pan. The anime adds other members.\ |
| 855 | |
| 856 | Their main activity seems to be stealing members from other crews by challenging them to several Davy Back Fight games, games at which they outrageously cheat, too bad the referee is a crew member of them too. |
| 857 | ---- |
| 858 | * AffablyEvil: Yes, they recruit through the Davy Back Fights and are cheaters even by pirate standards, but overall they seem like a bunch of affable goofs otherwise. |
| 859 | * AsLethalAsItNeedsToBe: One of the filler Fish-man members has large curved blades coming out of his arms. Despite their nasty look, they're actually blunt. |
| 860 | * AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Big Pan is a Wotan (half giant, half Fish-man hybrid), and is very large (not as big a real giant though). |
| 861 | * BeastMan: Chiqicheetah, who probably ate the Cat-Cat Fruit Model Cheetah. |
| 862 | * CoDragons: [[MsFanservice Porche]] and Hamburg are Foxy's trusty right-hand people. |
| 863 | * CombatPragmatist: These guys absolutely refuse to play by the rules. Expect them to rig the competition in any way they can. |
| 864 | * FanserviceExtra: The large collection of pretty women Foxy has in his crew get just a little of screentime and absolutely no characterization whatsoever. Their main mission is [[DistractedByTheSexy to distract the men of the opposing crew during the Davy Back Fights so they waste time or mess up]]. |
| 865 | * GagNose: Justified with Capote, a swordfish Fish-man. |
| 866 | * GoldfishPoopGang: Foxy, Hamburg and Porche are set up to fill this role, but ultimately fail because they never do come back, save for in two anime {{filler}} mini-arcs ("Foxy's Return" and "Spa Island") and in the TV special [[Recap/OnePieceTVSP10AdventureOfNebulandia "Adventure of Nebulandia"]]. |
| 867 | * MakingASplash: Capote can use Fish-man Karate to send a massive tidal shock wave at an enemy vessel. |
| 868 | * MultiArmedAndDangerous: Juubei the squid Fish-man, whose limbs and neck are also [[RubberMan very elastic.]] |
| 869 | * NonHumanHumanoidHybrid: Big Pan is part giant and part Fish-man. |
| 870 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: As lighthearted as the arc they're featured in is, we see before even meeting them that suddenly depriving crews of vital members while they're in the middle of the Grand Line can have lethal consequences. [[FridgeHorror Given the crew's enormous size,]] Foxy's continuous Davy Back Fights could've ruined these crews (barring unless all of them joined up.) |
| 871 | * OddlySmallOrganization: Averted. The Foxy Pirates are ''huge'', to the point that they're practically a seafaring community, with one of the largest crews seen in the first half of the Grand Line. |
| 872 | * PunnyName: Hamburg, Pickles, and Big Pan. Also Juubei (juu means Ten, and he has ten arms.) |
| 873 | * SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Power-wise, the Foxy Pirates are much weaker than Eneru's group. Threat-wise, they prove to be not so harmless as the Groggy Monsters give Zoro and Sanji a truly brutal beatdown and Foxy gives Luffy a much harder fight than Eneru, one of the strongest characters of the series. Of course, once [[VitriolicBestBuds Zoro and Sanji]] quit messing around and [[TeethClenchedTeamwork actually worked together]] they [[CurbStompBattle destroy]] the Groggy Monsters, and Luffy was immune to [[ShockAndAwe Eneru]]'s powers due to being a RubberMan while Foxy's powers pretty much inconvenienced him, on top of his dirty tactics. |
| 874 | * TeamPet: Monda the Star Shark is their pet shark. |
| 875 | * TerribleTrio: |
| 876 | ** At least in the anime, Foxy and his CoDragons Porche and Hamburg. |
| 877 | ** The "Groggy Monsters", consisting of Hamburg, Pickles and Big Pan for playing the Groggy Ring matches. |
| 878 | * TheStarscream: Kiba, The former Captain of the Fanged Toad pirates, attempts to take over the Foxy Pirates in an anime filler arc. |
| 879 | * WackyWaysideTribe: Oda has admitted this crew in canon has no bearing on the plot and was a fun time to goof around (especially after the Skypiea Arc) till Aokiji showed up. |
| 880 | * WhipOfDominance: Kiba, the former captain of the Fanged Toad pirates, favors the use of a whip as his weapon, which speaks to his cruel and bullying personality. The sting of its blows actually annoys Luffy for a few moments before the Straw Hat captain powers through and rips it out of his hand. |

| 886 | !!!'''Age:''' 36 (Pre-Timeskip), 38 (Post-Timeskip) |
| 887 | !!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 305 (Manga), Episode 207 (Anime) |

| 891 | |
| 892 | ->''"We, the Foxy Pirates, challenge you, the Straw Hat Pirates, to a Davy Back Fight!"'' |
| 893 | |
| 894 | 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.\ |
| 895 | |
| 896 | His bounty is 24,000,000 Berries. |
| 897 | ----- |
| 898 | * AccentAdaptation: He has an Italian accent in the Creator/FUNimation dub provided by Jonathan Brooks. It's because his appearance looks a lot like Count Chocula. |
| 899 | * 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. |
| 900 | * AnimalMotifs: Take one guess. It's as subtle as a brick to the face. |
| 901 | * ArcVillain: Oda admits he's the only canon FillerVillain so far as his presence has no lasting influence on the story. |
| 902 | * CharlesAtlasSuperpower: It's easy to overlook since he usually relies on his Devil Fruit ability and various gadgets, but he ''can'' hit hard and fast enough to match ''Luffy's'' RapidFireFisticuffs blow-for-blow (if nothing else, it's ''visually'' very impressive, since most other [[ArcVillain Arc Villains]] usually either dodge it or [[TheWorfBarrage tank it]]). |
| 903 | ** His Vivre Card information reveals that he was once a professional boxer back as a young man which explains his combat prowess. However, he would end up barred from it after bringing in a weapon. He ends up eating his Devil Fruit a couple years later and three years after that (about 26-28), he hears the legend of Davy Jones and decided to become a pirate, using the Davy Back Fight to amass a crew. |
| 904 | * CheshireCatGrin: Befitting of his nickname, he has a fox-like grin whenever he's smug. |
| 905 | * CombatPragmatist: Will gladly use any trickery he can think of to win a fight. |
| 906 | * DelayedCausality: A victim slowed down by his Devil Fruit power won't immediately feel the impact of his RapidFireFisticuffs. Once the 30 seconds are over, the victim will feel all the punches at the same time, with a shock so severe that it even hurts Luffy's rubber body. |
| 907 | * EnemyMine: Teams up with the Straw Hats in ''Adventures of Nebulandia'' against Marine Tactician Komei. |
| 908 | * EnergyRingAttack: Foxy's [[TimeStandsStill Noro Noro Beam]] takes the form of a purple light beam surrounded by white rings. |
| 909 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: He has no problems with exploiting every loophole he can think of in a Davy Back Fight, but he always adheres to the spirit of the games. As such, when Nami makes the technically legal but ruthlessly cold-blooded suggestion that Luffy should use their team's first victory in the games to pick Foxy himself, on the grounds it will shatter the Foxy Pirates' morale and throw off their ability to compete entirely, he is ''horrified'' and immediately begins calling out Nami on this unsportsmanlike idea. |
| 910 | * EvilLaugh: Fehfehfehfeh. |
| 911 | * {{Expy}}: Pretty much an extrapolation of what would happen if Boyakky from ''Anime/{{Yatterman}}'' were in charge of the TerribleTrio instead of an underling. The nose is a dead giveaway, to say nothing of his GiantMecha. |
| 912 | ** He also looks similar to Le Nabot, one of two EvilDuo from the ''WesternAnimation/IlEtaitUneFois'' metaseries. Both have a big reddish nose, smug grin, pointy hairdo and a shrewd, malicious attitude. Interestingly, that character was renamed "Foxy" in some dubs of the series. |
| 913 | * ExplainingYourPowerToTheEnemy: After the first race victory he told the Straw Hats the details to his Slow-Slow Fruit. In his fight with Luffy he told him his beams bounce off mirrors, of course he loses exactly because of this. |
| 914 | * AFatherToHisMen: In the anime, at least, it's his most redeeming trait: he genuinely likes and cares for his crew, and does his best to take good care of them. They reward his compassion by caring for him deeply in return. Best exemplified when Kiba, the usurping captain, whips one of Foxy's former underlings for wanting to help the injured Foxy, who proceeds to struggle to his feet whilst [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech chewing out Kiba as nothing more than a bully]]. |
| 915 | ** In [[Recap/OnePieceTVSP10AdventureOfNebulandia "Adventure of Nebulandia"]], he literally gets down on his knees and ''begs'' Luffy to let him tag along to rescue his own kidnapped crewmates. |
| 916 | * FillerVillain: Despite being canon, Oda has admitted his presence and arc only serves as a way to build up to Aokiji's sudden appearance. Foxy also serves as a recurring antagonist in a few filler arcs. |
| 917 | * GagNose: He has a long red nose to go with his already goofy face. |
| 918 | * GiantMecha: The Gorilla Puncher #13; the anime version has several more, such as the dodgeball cannon "Bull's Eye-kun". |
| 919 | * {{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]]. |
| 920 | * HeartIsAnAwesomePower: While the ability to project rays that slow things down does seem useful, albeit overly specific, the absolutely ingenious and wickedly clever ways that Foxy uses it genuinely enables him to stand toe-to-toe with Luffy, a much stronger person than he is, alongside being a professionally trained boxer. |
| 921 | * HiddenDepths: Despite his apparent cowardice and his reliance on cheap tricks, he's actually pretty capable fighter when brought into the ring (just nowhere near Luffy's level). He twists the letter of the Davy Back Fights to the extreme, but always adheres to the spirit of them, even if he's lost. And as much of a jerk as he can be to his foes, he's a caring and affable leader to his men. |
| 922 | ** We find out that he actually used to be a professional boxer until he got disqualified for bringing a weapon in. This gives off that he was always pretty pragmatic. However, only a few years after that (and eating his Devil Fruit) would he end up becoming a pirate. Specifically, it was the ''Davy Back Fight'' that inspired him to go into piracy in particular. This certainly raises some interesting possibilities, especially with how he treats his crew affably. |
| 923 | ** In the anime, at least, he proves to have a lot more potential than you would expect for someone as ridiculous as him. How much so? He enters ''[[WorldOfBadass the New World]]'' and ''doesn't'' die horribly. He doesn't even ward off the worst of the danger by joining up with an Emperor; he braves the most dangerous ocean with only his own crew backing him up, and the Foxy Pirates don't do too badly for themselves. They do end up in a sticky situation courtesy of a particularly canny Vice-Admiral, but with the Straw Hats' help, they get out of it relatively unscathed. |
| 924 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: Luffy reflects his Slow-Slow Beam at him, then knocks him into the water while he's helpless. |
| 925 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Mocks the Straw Hats for complaining about his cheating, saying that if they can't handle being at a disadvantage, they don't belong on the Grand Line. Sure he may be right at face value, but this is still coming from the guy who NEVER fights [[DirtyCoward unless he's thoroughly rigged the match beforehand]]. |
| 926 | ** Granted, one could also interpret this as him making sure his crew are never in a disadvantage. As such, if their foes will not be fair, they shouldn't be. |
| 927 | * LoopholeAbuse: He never officially "breaks" the rule of the Davy Back Fight, but always twists them or his advantage, like having his own crewmember as referee or letting the cannonball which decides the arena of the third round "casually" landing in his own ship. |
| 928 | * MinorInsultMeltdown: Always drops to his knees in shame if [[MiseryTrigger he hears so much as one insult thrown his way]]. Luckily, equally offhanded praise will get him back up immediately. In the anime version of the Davy Back arc, this is used to effectively paralyze him at one point and prevent him from interfering in one of the Davy Back matches. |
| 929 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: In the previous Davy Back Fights, he got a captain traded for one of his previous victims. Only, in the anime, said captain proceeds to overthrow him as soon as he's defeated. |
| 930 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: Until the Captain Duel, he was regarded as a great joke. However, then he began utilizing the power of his Fruit by stunning Luffy and then pummeling him sensely. While Luffy is heavily resistant to brute force, Foxy's Fruit allows him to "cheat" past that by having it him all at once and thus, overwhelm him. |
| 931 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Thanks to his [[TimeStandsStill Noro Noro]] Fruit, he can slow down his enemy for thirty seconds, during which they will accumulate all the punches Foxy throws at them. Once the time is over, all the punches are taken at once. |
| 932 | * 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. Luffy thought the female nurse Foxy disguised himself as was his sister. |
| 933 | * RapidFireFisticuffs: Even without the Slow-Slow Beam, his "Megaton Kyuubi Rush" technique can match Luffy's "Gomu Gomu Gatling" blow-for-blow. |
| 934 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: In the anime-only "Foxy Returns" two-episode arc, after seeing Kiba whip one of Foxy's men who was rushing to Foxy's aid, Foxy mockingly notes that hitting one's own crew makes no sense to him, before denouncing Kiba's behavior as fit only for a bully leading a band of thugs, not a true pirate captain, and declaring him unfit to be a leader to a loyal crew. |
| 935 | * 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 -- furthermore, when Luffy declares that they'll throw a ''third'' set of Davy Back Games to win back their second lost crewmember after losing the first two rounds, he declares that he's not going to accept any more Davy Back matches. He points out that this is the ''seventh'' set of three-round Davy Back Fights his crew has held in the last day or so, and that his men are too tired to continue, but it's obvious that he just wants to deny Luffy the chance to win back all of his crew. When Luffy manages to beat him in the final round, he tries to extend a handshake of good sportsmanship then do an overhead throw as revenge. Only for that to fail since, thanks to Luffy's rubber body extending his arm, Foxy falls flat on his face. |
| 936 | * TimeStandsStill: His Slow-Slow 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. |
| 937 | * 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). |
| 938 | * WeakButSkilled: Probably the most evident example in the series; he lacks the raw strength of people like the Monster Trio of Luffy, Zoro or Sanji. On the other hand, he is a professionally-trained boxer (and is still pretty strong in his own right) and combined with his clever usage of his Devil Fruit and his tactical trickery, he is quite the surprisingly fierce opponent. |

| 950 | * BigEater: [[Recap/OnePieceTVSP10AdventureOfNebulandia "Adventure of Nebulandia"]] implies that she's the "improbably slender" variety; when the first match of the Davy Back Fight is an EatingContest, she steps up as one of the Foxy Pirates' three competitors, even lampshading the disparity by assuring newcomer and fellow competitor Dojakku that she can hold her own in an eating match. Since the Foxy Pirates take winning ''very'' seriously, Porche must be able to pack it away. |

| 964 | Water 7 is a large city in Paradise where the One Piece world's best shipwrights, especially those working for the Galley-La Company, and Franky, the Straw Hat Pirates’ shipwright, reside or hail from. Instead of roads, it has canals and the inhabitants use a kind of sea horse, called "Bull" to travel through the canals. This town is also famous for being the place where the sea train was invented. |
| 965 | ---- |
| 966 | * CityOfCanals: It's built into Water 7's architecture in a Venetian way. |
| 967 | * CoolBoat: As a city full of shipwrights, it's their thing. The three most prominent examples are the Sea Trains, the Thousand Sunny, and Pluton. In addition, it's Iceburg's ambition to convert Water 7 itself into a ship to save the city from Aqua Laguna. |
| 968 | * DyingTown: Before the Sea Train was built, the town was in steady decline due to gradually sinking into the ocean, pirate attacks and storms disrupting supply chains and competition between the shipwrights. Tom's Puffing Tom helped revitalize the town, and Iceburg unified the shipwright companies into one company that increased stability and productivity. |
| 969 | * GiantWallOfWateryDoom: The city experiences a high tide known as Aqua Laguna annually which damages the city immensely each time and causing more of the city to submerge. It's Iceburg's ambition to find a solution to this problem. |
| 970 | * LostSuperweapon: The Ancient Weapon, Pluton, was said to have been constructed in Water 7 in the distant past, and it's blueprints eventually ended up in Tom's hands before he passed them on to Iceburg, who would pass them on to Franky before the latter burned them in the Ennies Lobby Arc. |

| 1003 | * TheAlcoholic: She's almost never seen without a bottle of wine in her hands and often visits a bar where she's on good terms with the owner, Blueno (until the latter is revealed to [[TheMole be an agent of the World Government]]). She has a constant drunk expression because of this habit, which started years before when [[DrowningMySorrows Tom was executed and Franky was seemingly killed by the sea train]]. |
| 1004 | * AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Her mermaid form is terribly {{Gonk}}. The real-life [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channichthyidae Icefish]], the fish her mermaid form is based on, isn't so great-looking, either. |
| 1005 | * BrainBleach: When the thought of Kokoro comes back to haunt him upon meeting the much cuter mermaid Camie, Zoro ''literally'' erases the image of Kokoro from his mind and declares ''Camie'' as the first mermaid he ever met. |
| 1006 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: She may be perpetually drunk, but she's a really good Sea Train driver. |
| 1007 | * ButterFace: When she was 48, she had a nice, curvy body but the same ugly face as she has at seventy years old. In her own youth, however, she was quite beautiful. |
| 1008 | * CarFu: She helps the Franky Family and the Galley-la foremen defeat the giant Oimo by crashing the Sea Train into him. |
| 1009 | * CombatCommentator: Her role in Enies Lobby is to comment on the others fighting, justified since she has no combat skills and cannot participate in the fights. |
| 1010 | * CoolOldLady: She's a rather lively old woman (outside, at least) who loves her granddaughter, drives the Sea Train around Enies Lobby, and even uses it to tackle and defeat a giant. |
| 1011 | * DelayedReaction: She's rather nonchalant when Chimney makes a comment about the current situation while aboard the rocketman... then it dawns on Kokoro that Chimney is not supposed to be on the train, since they're taking part in an extremely dangerous plan to attack Enies Lobby, which will at best make the participants wanted criminals and at worst get them killed. Kokoro then freaks out. |
| 1012 | * DrivesLikeCrazy: Subverted, since as a conductor she knows how to drive a train, [[DrunkDriver no matter how unlikely it seems to be]]. However, she does intentionally derail the train through Enies Lobby to help the Straw Hats. |
| 1013 | * DrowningMySorrows: In the flashback, she isn't seen drinking until after Tom's been taken to Impel Down and Franky is presumed dead. After many years, she's still constantly drinking. |
| 1014 | * FanDisservice: Her mermaid form is terribly ugly and fat, and she wears only a SeashellBra! It's so ugly it make the Straw Hats pass out from the shock. When she put a lipstick mark on a letter addressed to Iceburg he ''immediately rips it up from repulsion''. Even ''[[ChasteHero Luffy]]'' is disgusted. |
| 1015 | * {{Gonk}}: Which adds to the Fan Disservice. This causes everyone in the vicinity to pass out when they see her mermaid form, which prevents them from swallowing too much water and ''actually saves their lives''. The fact they call her a "dugong" before passing out is a reference to how dugongs were originally mistaken for mermaids. |
| 1016 | * IWasQuiteALooker: An SBS reveals [[http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131128045043/onepiece/images/7/75/Kokoro_as_a_Young_Mermaid.png she was quite beautiful]] when she was young, but now she's a very ugly old mermaid. |
| 1017 | * InnocentBystander: Invoked. To not being attacked by the Marines, Kokoro claims that she and her granddaughter are just hostages. Lampshaded immediately by Franky Family members to support her: "Could there be drunker hostage?" |
| 1018 | * LadyDrunk: Kokoro is constantly drunk and with a dizzy smile. She started drinking [[DrowningMySorrows after Tom died.]] She somehow manages to drink far more than her bottle could actually contain. |
| 1019 | * ParentalSubstitute: Kokoro served as a mother-figure to Iceburg and Cutty Flam/Franky just as Tom served as their father-figure. She even talks about how her heart warms when she sees the [[SiblingYinYang two of them]] finally get along as they work together [[LikeFatherLikeSon to build the Thousand Sunny]]. |
| 1020 | * PerpetualSmiler: She almost always has a smile plastered on her face, unless she's very upset, such as when Tom was taken away or Nami insists on endangering herself to save Luffy from Aqua Laguna. |
| 1021 | * SeashellBra: When she's revealed to be a mermaid, she's only wearing a pair of shells as a bra. Being very fat and ugly, [[FanDisservice it isn't a nice view]]. |
| 1022 | * SignatureLaugh: Her laugh is ''Nagagaga''. |
| 1023 | * StepfordSmiler: Always has a drunken smile on her face, but she still hasn't gotten over Tom's death. |
| 1024 | * TerribleArtist: After sending the Straw Hats to Water 7, she hands them a map of the island, but it's so poorly drawn that Nami can't understand anything. Most likely because Kokoro was ridiculously drunk when she drew it. |

| 1043 | * GenkiGirl: Chimney is very young and energetic. |
| 1044 | * MadeOfIron: They're in a train crash (actually more of train ''launched like a rocket into a building''), and only get a nose bleed. It's especially impressive considering they are both very young and have zero combat experience, unlike the other passengers. |

| 1048 | * PluckyGirl: Chimney is very energetic and curious, and her grin almost never leaves her face. She also almost never shows signs of fear. |

| 1050 | * SuperSenses: Her eye-sight is extraordinary, as she's able to spot things that are ''very'' far away, which would otherwise be missable by other people. |
| 1051 | * TagalongKid: Chimney, with her pet, constantly follows Kokoro. This extends to them following her and the Straw Hats into the Rocketman and going all the way to Enies Lobby. Her role within Enies Lobby is guide Luffy to the secret passage that leads to the Gates of Justice. |
| 1052 | * TomatoInTheMirror: Played for laughs, as she only finds out she's a quarter mermaid when the Strawhat Crew do, despite having seen her grandmother's mermaid form. |
| 1053 | * UnevenHybrid: Chimney is 1/4 mermaid due to Kokoro being a mermaid. She doesn't have any mermaid features, but she's a very good swimmer. |

After Tom was arrested and Franky was ran down by the Puffing Tom, Yokozuna began to challenge the Sea Train to strengthen himself in case someone else he liked was taken away. He joined the battle at Enies Lobby, helping guard the court house door to keep the rest of the Navy and Government forces from entering. After the battle, he stopped challenging the Sea Train and joined Kokoro on Blue Station. |
| 1064 | ---- |
| 1065 | * AmphibianAtLarge: Yokozuna is a ''massive'' frog, and strong enough to derail the Rocketman Sea Train prototype. |
| 1066 | * MadeOfIron: Yokozuna is a frog that regurarly get hit by the sea train and survives just fine with a few scars. During the Enies Lobby Arc, he blocks multiple hits from the Eleven Righteous Jurors giant steel balls before he finally goes down. Just one hit from those balls brings down one of the Franky Family's [[SeaMonster King Bulls.]] |
| 1067 | * MeaningfulName: In SumoWrestling, the yokozuna is the highest rank, fitting for a frog that sumo wrestles. |

| 1078 | |
| 1079 | The best company of shipwrights of the world and led by the famous and talented Iceburg. Galley-la Company is a huge organization divided into seven docks with their own workers, and they have contracts from pirates to the World Government, such is their skill at making and repairing ships. |
| 1080 | |
| 1081 | Despite their profession, most of the shipwrights are also hardened fighters who can beat up clients who thinks they can boss Galley-la around, and some of its members allied with the Straw Hats and the Franky Family and fight the World Government and Marines to get even with Cipher Pol 9, who have infiltrated their ranks and worked against Iceburg for many years. |
| 1082 | ---- |
| 1083 | * BadassCrew: Part of the job requirement of being a Galley-La worker is also being a badass, especially since they might deal with pirates. They help the Straw Hats in Enies Lobby by fighting most of the guards. |
| 1084 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: All of them have a quirky and bizarre personality, or some strange characteristic that would make them appear like a bunch of buffoons, but are the best shipwrights of the world. It's even official policy that Galley-La doesn't care about anything other than carpentering skill. |
| 1085 | * HeroAntagonist: They are heroic characters, if a bit rough, and briefly end up opposing the Straw Hats after learning that Robin was involved in the attempt on Iceburg's life. They stop once they learn about the real culprit. |
| 1086 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: While not very improbable from shipwrights and carpenters, they often use saws, scalpels and wooden beams as weapons. Paulie fights with ropes and knots. |
| 1087 | * ItsPersonal: After finding out that two of their foremen (Lucci and Kaku) and Iceburg's secretary are actually moles working for the World Government and about their attempts on Iceburg's life, the remaining foremen of Galley-La decide to join forces with the Straw Hats in the assault at Enies Lobby. |
| 1088 | * WorkplaceAcquiredAbilities: Galley-La Company shipwrights deal often with pirates, therefore they're all able to put up a fight if the situation calls for it. |

| 1099 | |
| 1100 | The mayor of Water 7 and former student of Tom. He united the separate shipyards into the Galley-La company which he heads. He was given the blueprint to the ancient warship by Tom and later passes it to Franky to keep it from the World Government. He becomes an ally to the Straw Hats and prep the Rocket Man and patches up Going Merry which is instrumental in the Straw Hats' escape from Enies Lobby. After the events of Enies Lobby, he helps building the ''Thousand Sunny'' and convinces Franky to leave with the Straw Hats.\ |
| 1101 | |
| 1102 | ----- |
| 1103 | * TheApprentice: As teens, Iceburg and Franky are the shipwright apprentices to the late Tom, who turns both of them into the finest shipwrights of the entire One Piece world. |
| 1104 | %%* BigGood: Of the Water 7 arc. |
| 1105 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: He named his pet mouse Tyrannosaurus and abandons all his appointments on a whim. He's also possibly the best shipwright in the world. His dream is to turn Water 7 into a floating city to prevent the damages of Aqua Laguna, which gets higher every year. |
| 1106 | * TheChessmaster: Does a pretty good job against the World Government and [=CP9=] at keeping the Pluton blueprints out of their hands (he was successful for a good 10 years or so) but in the end he's outmatched by the ruthlessness of Lucci. |
| 1107 | * TheDutifulSon: To Tom. Whereas Cutty Flam was always a handful and rarely much help for the company, Iceburg followed Tom's example and assisted him in his work. In the flashback, Iceburg is shown tirelessly working on the Sea Train while Cutty Flam is off making more Battle Frankies. After Tom's arrest, Iceburg carried on his mission to pull Water 7 back from the brink and succeeded, revitalizing the city. This trope is the reason he was the one entrusted with the Pluton blueprints. |
| 1108 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Iceburg is the Responsible to Franky's Foolish. The former is more mature and levelheaded and becomes major of Water 7, the latter is more impulsive and rebel and becomes leader of a ship dismantlers group. |
| 1109 | * GodzillaThreshold: Pluton is a warship of mass destruction, and Iceburg hides the blueprints to prevent them from getting in the wrong hands, even at the risk of his life. The only reason he doesn't just burn the Pluton blueprints is because he claims that if someone who could read the Poneglyphs were to find Pluton, the only counter measure would be a new warship made from the blueprints by the Water 7 shipwrights. |
| 1110 | * IWarnedYou: As a teenager in Franky's flashback, Iceburg repeatedly complains about Franky building "Battle Frankies" to take on Sea Kings, saying that someone could get hurt. When Cipher Pol steals the latest crop of Battle Frankies to frame Tom's Workers, Iceburg takes the chance to remind Franky that he'd warned him, but rather than feeling smugly vindicated, Iceburg is ''furious'' that the worst-case scenario happened. |
| 1111 | * InconsistentSpelling: Many localizations spell his name as "Iceberg". Chapter 352 shows a nameplate with the spelling "Iceburg", but Episode 248, which is adapting the scene, has the spelling "Icebarg" instead. In Germany, his name is spelled "Eisberg" and is pronounced differently because of the German spelling. |
| 1112 | * IronicName: The master shipwright, named after something famous for ''sinking'' ships. |
| 1113 | * JerkassToOne: He's overall a reasonable and decent guy, but put him near Franky and he resorts to childish, jerky behavior. However, despite their VitriolicBestBuds dynamic, Iceburg lets Franky know that he still cares about him and is happy to learn that he's alive. |
| 1114 | * LongHairedPrettyBoy: In his youth he was a bulky teenager with long hair, especially compared to Franky and his [[HotBloodedSideburns hairstyle]]. |
| 1115 | * MadeOfIron: Despite being unable to fight, Iceburg survives being shot five times, shot again the next night, and then left in a burning building. |
| 1116 | * ManChild: In his introduction, Iceburg acts like a young kid, presenting his new pet mouse, called Tyrannosaurus, and when informed by his secretary he has to go to a long series of meetings he responded with "I don't wanna" and promptly stuck his finger in his nose. It's actually a façade to not attract the World Government's suspicion but when there's nobody to trick, he's cool, calm, and collected. |
| 1117 | * ManOfTheCity: As the head of Water 7's most famous business and its mayor who helped turn the city around from his days as one of Tom's apprentices to the present, Iceburg's impact on the city and his devotion to it are impossible to dispute, and the citizens love him for it. He's even working on a project for Water 7's ongoing sinking problem by converting the city itself into a ship. |
| 1118 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After the masked assassins return to finish the job, Iceburg immediately realizes that Luffy was innocent and regrets calling for his arrest. |
| 1119 | * TheNicknamer: When they were Tom's pupil, Iceburg called Cutty Flam "Franky" because he found his actual name too stupid. Franky who would later adopt the nickname as his true name after rebuilding his own body. |
| 1120 | * NonActionGuy: Unlike the rest of the Galley-La company, who are strong fighters to deal with pirates, fighting isn't really Iceburg's thing. |
| 1121 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: He kept undercover government agents at bay for ten years thanks to acting like a ManChild, so to not raise any suspicion about him. |
| 1122 | * OhCrap: A plot important one. Lucci explains their best guess as to where the Pluton blueprints are hidden while Kaku feels Iceburg's pulse. When the guess turns out to be correct, his heartbeat quickens and confirms their suspicions. |
| 1123 | * PermaStubble: Has a bit of stubble to show how he's more composed compared to the other Galley-La shipwrights. |
| 1124 | * ProperlyParanoid: Iceburg hands Pluton's blueprints off to Franky because he thinks the World Government is on to him despite not having a concrete proof of it. He's proven right after some CP-9 agents make an attempt on his life because of the blueprints |
| 1125 | * SecretKeeper: After Tom's death, Iceburg kept Pluton's blueprints hidden to prevent the World Government from getting their hands on them. Once he realizes the World Government is on his tail, Iceburg entrusts the blueprints to Franky. |
| 1126 | * TearsOfJoy: Iceburg cries watching the inaugural voyage of the Sea Train, as it was the culmination of ten years of hard work. He sheds some tears as he walks away from his reunion with Franky, as despite arguing with him, he's happy to learn that he survived. |
| 1127 | * ThisIsUnforgivable: Subverted. He declares that he'll never forgive Franky for his part in Tom's incarceration but he admits to still being happy to know Franky isn't dead. Years later, he comes to realize Franky blames himself for what happened more than Iceburg does anyway and he decides to finally bury the hatchet. |
| 1128 | * UniversallyBelovedLeader: The citizens of Water 7 absolutely adore Iceburg, who does his best to improve the city, including finding a way to solve the aqua laguna problem. When he's shot and almost killed, the entire city went into a furious panic and viciously called for the assassin's blood. Even the [=CP9=] assassins state they would rather have not to hurt him in order to secure the blueprints. |
| 1129 | * VerbalTic: Starts many of his sentences with "Nmaa". Becomes "Oh my" in the English translation of the manga and "Welllll" in the English dub of the anime. |
| 1130 | * VetinariJobSecurity: The Cipher Pol agents entrusted to get the blueprints hidden by Iceburg can't just break down his door because Iceburg is a person too important to kill, as both a CEO and mayor of Water-7. After Tom was arrested, he united the shipyards of Water-7 into a single corporation, the Galley-La, and became a provider to the World Government. Very tellingly, he made himself more important to the World Government than [[spoiler: Vegapunk]], always being too important and too beloved to just get rid of no matter how much he doesn't play ball when the World Government tries to get him to. |
| 1131 | * VitriolicBestBuds: In Franky's flashback, when they are Tom's apprentices, Iceburg and Franky argue constantly, much to the amusement of Tom. Years later and, while appearing distant, they've secretly kept in touch, maintaining the same dynamic. |
| 1132 | --> ''"Look at us... we yell as soon as we look at each other. You jerk! I'm glad you're alive!"'' |
| 1133 | * WeakBossStrongUnderlings: Despite most of Galley-La's shipwrights being strong fighters, Iceburg is just the best at making ships but has no combat ability. |
| 1134 | * WhatTheHellHero: Iceburg an Franky burst into an argument after they reunite for the first time in four years: Franky is angry with Iceburg for doing contracts for the World Government, which had executed Tom, while Iceburg blames Franky for enabling Spandam to frame Tom. |

It's explained that he's often chased because of the many debts he accumulated due to his gambling. After the time-skip, [[ChickMagnet many women]] chase him ''along'' with his debtors. |
| 1188 | * FaceOfAThug: Paulie doesn't have the friendliest face, which is not helped by the fact he rarely smiles, which makes him appear a nasty person. However, his actions shows he has actually a good heart. |
| 1189 | * TheGamblingAddict: While a good person, Paulie has a problem with gambling, which causes him to have many debts and be often on the run from his debtors. |
| 1190 | * GogglesDoNothing: Has a pair of orange googles on his forehead, but never actually uses them. Paulie has been wearing them since he was a child, and continues to do so after dressing more elegantly after the time-skip. |
| 1191 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's abrasive and has a bad habit of racking up gambling debts, but is a good person at heart. |

| 1193 | * MrExposition: After Galley-La refuses to repair the Going Merry, Paulie explains they can't because, since the keel is the part upon which a ship is built, replacing a keel would mean building a new ship. |
| 1194 | * MrViceGuy: Paulie has a serious gambling problem, one that he's willing to finance with almost theft but, aside of this, he's a good person. |
| 1195 | * TheNosebleed: Despite hating "improperly" dressed women, he nosebleeds during said protests, revealing he actually enjoys it. |
| 1196 | * NumberTwo: He's effectively Iceburg's right hand man, being the one he entrusts with his fake blueprints trap for the [=CP9=] and they don't find it odd Iceburg would pass the Pluton blueprints to him. It's made official with his promotion after the TimeSkip. |
| 1197 | * RankUp: He's the most prominent of the Galley-La shipwrights and shows to have the highest authority other than Iceburg himself. After the time-skip, he's promoted to vice-president of Galley-La Company. |
| 1198 | * RedHerring: Because of his importance during the first part of the arc and his quirkiness, he appears to be the shipwright that would join the Straw Hats. Turns out it was Franky. |
| 1199 | * SharpDressedMan: After the time-skip, Paulie is promoted from carpenter to vice-president. As a result, he changes his denim jacket and pants with a suit and a tie and goes for a less messy haircut. |
| 1200 | * SmokingIsCool: He's a badass carpenter who's rarely seen without a [[CigarChomper cigar]]. |
| 1201 | * SourPrudes: He often berates women who dress provocatively. Although, considering his nosebleeds and stuttering, it's pretty clear that he actually enjoys it. He's more of a Tsundere. |
| 1202 | * TrappedByGamblingDebts: Given his love for gambling, Paulie is frequently pursued by debt collectors. |
| 1203 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Despite often fighting with Lucci, Paulie think of him as a friend.

| 1204 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: After working together for many years, he's not happy to find out [[TheMole Lucci, Kaku, and Kalifa]] are actually Government agents sent to assassinate Iceburg and steal Pluton's blueprints. |

| 1216 | |
| 1217 | One of the fire foremen of Dock one, specializing in pitch, bolt tackle and blacksmithing. Unlike the rest of Galley-La, Lulu is very quiet and rarely talks. He fights using any kind of weapon, including carpenter tools, swords and guns. |

| 1222 | * DualWielding: While the weapon Lulu uses constantly changes, what remains consistent is the fact he always uses two of them. The only exception is when he uses a hammer too big to be wielded with one hand. |
| 1223 | * IdiotHair: Lulu's quirkiness doesn't come from his quiet personality but from a spike of hair that, whenever he press it, the hair spike sprout somewhere else, including on his arm, from his mustache and from someone else's nose. Lulu's hairdo goes especially haywire when he's asleep, resulting in a crazy bedhead of multiple spikes. After the time-skip, the spike becomes cone-shaped and then splits into four spikes. |
| 1224 | * TheMusketeer: Lulu doesn't have a favorite pair of weapons: instead he constantly changes it, using swords, saws, hammers or guns. |
| 1225 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Lulu bears a strong resemblance to [[Music/{{Queen}} Freddie Mercury]]. |

| 1228 | * TheQuietOne: Especially when compared to the [[LargeHam other louder shipwrights]], Lulu is much more serious and quiet. This doesn't make him any less quirky. |
| 1229 | * TattooedCrook: Galley-La's shipwrights are famous for being manly and tough, since they often deal with pirates. Lulu has intricate tattoos on his chest and on his arms which give him a rough appearance. |
| 1230 | * WalkingShirtlessScene: When at work, Lulu wears only tight pants and shoes, but nothing that covers his ripped torso. Even when assaulting Enies Lobby, Lulu simply puts on a bright, unbuttoned shirt. |

| 1242 | |
| 1243 | One of the five Dock One foremen of Galley-La, specializing in cabinetry, caulking and flag making. Tilestone is a large, muscular and loud man who can't speak without shouting out loud. He primarily fights using large weapons like a demi-cannon or a large hammer. |
| 1244 | ---- |
| 1245 | * BearHug: Even without weapons, Tilestone can crush his enemies by hugging a few of them at the same time with his strong arms. |
| 1246 | * {{BFG}}: Tilestone is big enough to wield with a single hand a demi-cannon, a cannon reserved for ships but is a bit smaller than regular cannons. |
| 1247 | * TheBigGuy: Among the Galley-La foremen, he's visibly larger and taller than any other shipwright. In fighting, he uses the largest and most destructive weapons available. Ironically, when it comes his shipwright duties, he specializes in the activities that require more skill than strength. |
| 1248 | * BoisterousBruiser: Tilestone is as loud as he is large and he's also a fierce fighter. |
| 1249 | * CombinationAttack: Tilestone uses the technique ''Trunnel Attack'' with Lulu to immobilize the giant Kashii. Tilestone manually nails some pegs on a surface with Kashi's hair, while Lulu fixes them with a large hammer. |
| 1250 | * DumbMuscle: He's the most musclebound of the Galley-La shipwrights and easily the dumbest, although he remains a competent shipwright. He has a tendency to shout in rather inappropriate circumstances, and actually thinks Michael and Hoichael, two kids from the back alley, are the real culprits behind the assassination attempt on Iceburg. |

| 1252 | * NoIndoorVoice: Tilestone only speaks loudly, even when the situation calls for quiet speaking. His co-workers try to accomodate this trait while Tilestone himself appears to be unaware of it. Tilestone is loud even in his thoughts. |
| 1253 | * SleevesAreForWimps: Tilestone is the physically strongest shipwright of Galley-La, [[MusclesAreMeaningful with muscles that prove it]], and wears only a sleeveless tanktop, leaving his brawny arms exposed. Averted after the time-skip, where he's seen wearing a t-shirt at the Puffing Ice's inauguration. |
| 1254 | * TattooedCrook: He's a coarse shipwright with an intricate tattoo on his left arm and the left side of his chest. |
| 1255 | * TelephonePolearm: Being about 2.55 meters tall, Tilestone is able to swing large objects as blunt weapons, like his own cannon. |
| 1256 | * WalkingShirtlessScene: During the assault on Enies Lobby, Tilestone doesn't wear anything to cover his large and defined upper body. |
| 1257 | * YoungerThanHeLooks: Tilestone's coarse face and grey beard make him look like he's at least in his forties, while he's actually in his early-mid thirties. |

| 1264 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/franky_family_concept_art.png]] |
| 1265 | |
| 1266 | A bunch of thugs from Water Seven led by Franky. They work as bounty hunters in order to keep pirates at bay and also dismantle ships. They first appear as enemies, where they steal the crew's money and lynch Usopp, but are soundly beaten to a pulp by the Straw Hats. When Franky is kidnapped by Cipher Pol 9, they allied with the Straw Hats to rescue Franky and Robin in Enies Lobby. The most notable members include Zanbei and the Square Sisters. They also have two huge [[SeaMonster King Bulls]] called Sodom and Gomorrah at their service. |
| 1267 | |
| 1268 | After Franky leaves them to join the Straw Hats, the Franky Family has begun a new career as legitimate ship wreckers. |
| 1269 | ---- |
| 1270 | * AdoptTheFood: Sodom and Gomorrah had originally been found inside a Sea King that the Franky Family was eating. They saved them for later (since they were all full), but eventually came to view them as {{Team Pet}}s. |
| 1271 | * AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Sodom and Gomorrah are huge sea creatures that are comparable in size to ''actual giants''. |
| 1272 | * {{BFG}}: Zanbei wields a bazooka which doubles as a club for melee fight. |
| 1273 | * CurbStompBattle: The Franky Family performs two brutal beatdowns on Usopp when he tries to fight them alone. Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and Chopper turn the tables on them and defeat them without so much as a scratch in order to avenge Usopp. |
| 1274 | * {{Delinquent}}: Pretty much all of them, which is how Franky came into contact with them in the first place. Franky has given them a purpose which allows them to earn money in a productive way. |
| 1275 | * EnemyMine: They start off as enemies of the Straw Hats but decide to cooperate with them against [=CP9=] to free their boss, Franky, who's got kidnapped. |
| 1276 | * GentleGiant: Sodom and Gomorrah are giant, friendly Bulls (a kind of literal sea-horse). |
| 1277 | * GiantMook: The Mighty Destroyers are three huge humans armed that compose the elite force of the family, but are easily defeated by Oimo and Kashi. |
| 1278 | * HeelFaceTurn: They are at first forced to work with the Straw Hats and Galley-La Company to save their leader from the clutches of [=CP9=]. Then, when this is all over, they're all recruited by Iceburg so they can have proper jobs. Although they never were truly evil, since they were robbing pirates rather than civilians. |
| 1279 | * HeroAntagonist: During the Water 7 arc, the Franky Family are antagonists who are in conflict with the Straw Hats because the former has stolen money from the latter. However, the Franky Family are also working as bounty hunters on the side and they justify their stealing since their victims are pirates who generally don't earn their money legally, meaning that even if someone dumb were to report the theft, nobody in law enforcement would side with the pirates. The members of the Franky Family eventually join the Straw Hats on the raid at Enies Lobby because of their loyalty to their boss, Franky. |
| 1280 | * {{Malaproper}}: When some of Franky's underlings go around town yelling about capturing Usopp in order to lure Luffy out, one member comically mangles their threats against Usopp("If you don't want us to think you like emotion" as opposed to "If you don't want us to sink him in the ocean."), resulting in another scolding and correcting him. |
| 1281 | * MuggingTheMonster: They find out the hard way that stealing money from Usopp and leaving him beaten to a pulp in from of their base was not such a hot idea. |
| 1282 | * NumberTwo: Zambai appears to be the second-in-command of the Franky Family, representing them in the alliance with the Straw Hats and Galley-La shipwrights. |
| 1283 | * TragicDream: The SBS specials in Volume 38 reveal that Zambai wanted to be a shipwright, having been inspired by the Puffing Tom's maiden voyage, but failed the Galley-La exam and ended up as a criminal. |
| 1284 | * TheWorfEffect: The Mighty Destroyers are one-shotted by the true giants Oimo and Kashi. |

| 1296 | |
| 1297 | Known as "the square sisters" because of their hairstyle, they act as backup singers for Franky, whom they're very loyal to, by staying next to him wherever he goes and mimicking his poses. They can also fight with a katana. |
| 1298 | |
| 1299 | After Franky has left the Franky Family, they've begun working in a bar. |

| 1301 | * ActionGirl: They aren't simply backup singers for Franky, but are quite good with their swords and play a key role in stopping a pair of giants. |
| 1302 | * AlwaysIdenticalTwins: They have a couple of physical differences that tells them apart: Kiwi's hair is more curly and she has green eyes while Mozu has brown eyes. Subverted because they aren't twins, but sisters, with Kiwi as the oldest by a year. |
| 1303 | * AnimeHair: They are known as "the square sisters" because of their characteristic square-shaped hair, with Kiwi's slightly curlier than Mozu, which force them to walk sideways like crabs when there's a strong wind. |

| 1305 | * ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Aside from a couple of differences, they can be easily told apart by the color of their clothes. Mozu wears yellow, while Kiwi wears pinkish-purple. |
| 1306 | * TheDividual: Mozu and Kiwi are always seen together, especially as Franky's backup dancers, fight together with the same type of weapon and don't receive any difference in characterization. |
| 1307 | * DrowningMySorrows: After failing to become shipwrights for the Galley-La Company, they begun drinking heavily, leaving bars at night completely drunk. Frankie encouraged them to stop and they've been loyal to him since. |
| 1308 | * KatanasAreBetter: When they have to fight, each of them wields a katana with square-shaped tsubas. |
| 1309 | * MsFanservice: They often act as backup singers for Franky and, appropriately, are two beautiful sisters who wear revealing clothes. |
| 1310 | * SmashSisters: The sisters fight in tandem. One of their strategies, called ''Hull Dismantler Slash'', is to dash at their opponent on both sides and hit them with a coordinated strike. |
| 1311 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: They are noticeably the only female members of the Franky family, which otherwise consists of brutish men. |
| 1312 | * TragicDream: Like Zambai, Volume 38's SBS Extras reveal that they also wanted to become shipwrights due to being excited about the sea train, but failed the Galley-La exam. |
| 1313 | * VerbalTic: Since they were young, they have the habit of saying "waina" at the end of their sentences. |

| 1328 | |
| 1329 | A huge long-horned cowfish Fish-man and a legendary shipwright from Water Seven. He adopted Iceburg and Cutty Flam/Franky. He was the one who built Gold Roger's ship, the Oro Jackson, and thus was sentenced to Impel Down for having done so. However, he asked for time in order to build the Sea Train, an innovative device that would have changed the fate of Water Seven. They gave him ten years to complete the project, Tom managed to complete the project in fourteen years, getting extra time to add more rails, and was pardoned of his "crimes". Unfortunately he and his apprentices were framed by [[DirtyCoward Spandam]]. He took the responsibility for the accident and was sent to Impel Down, where he faced execution.\ |
| 1330 | |
| 1331 | The Straw Hats eventually encounter Tom's younger brother Den, a Bering Wolffish merman, fellow shipwright, and marine ecologist, on Fish-Man Island. |
| 1332 | ----- |
| 1333 | * {{Acrofatic}}: Despite his sheer bulk, Tom can be really fast. Justified because he's a Fish-man, who are naturally much stronger than humans. |
| 1334 | * BerserkButton: Franky denying his ownership of the Battle Frankies triggered the first and only time Tom struck him. As Tom explains, a shipwright can never reject his creations and needs to always care for them. |
| 1335 | * BigFun: Tom was a big, jovial, and round Fish-man who laughed often. |
| 1336 | * CantGetAwayWithNuthin: Normally, building a pirate ship isn't considered a crime since anyone can buy or commission a ship and the shipwrights have no control over what their customers do. The judge who sentences Tom to death acknowledges this but [[SelectiveEnforcement throws the book at him regardless]], remarking that being the builder of Gold Roger's ship makes him a special exception, because Roger was the Pirate King. |
| 1337 | * CantKillYouStillNeedYou: Invoked. While on trial for having built the ''Oro Jackson'', Roger's flagship, Tom talked about his Sea Train project. Conditions on Water 7 were bad enough that Tom's attempt to build the Sea Train was considered important enough to grant him an extension of the trial for 10 years. Tom even got 4 extra years to build extra rails and, once the project ended, Tom was even pardoned of his crimes. |
| 1338 | * CatchPhrase: Tom's favorite often said: "Do it with a Don!" ("with a Boom" in the Viz manga and "with Gusto" in the [=FUNimation=] dub). |
| 1339 | * CoolOldGuy: Tom is an old Fish-man who wisecracked a lot, was very knowledgeable in ship making, adopted and educated Iceburg and Franky, and was strong and brave when the situation called for it. |
| 1340 | * {{Determinator}}: Even with a jagged harpoon in his chest, he was still conscious and able to beat his most important lesson into Franky and some karma into Spandam. |
| 1341 | * GentleGiant: Tom was a very big and friendly Fish-man (both in height and in width) who was constantly joyful, and rarely got angry or upset. |
| 1342 | * HeroWithBadPublicity: Despite being an accomplished shipwright, he ended up being ostracized for his work on the Oro Jackson, which is why he ended up having to make his workshop in an isolated part of town. He regained the respect of Water 7 by building the sea train, but his reputation was ruined when he was framed for attacking the judicial ship. |
| 1343 | * HeroicSacrifice: After Spandam used the Battle Frankies to attack Water 7, Tom took the blame instead of his pupils, Iceburg and Franky, and was executed. |
| 1344 | * HornedHumanoid: Tom was a long-horned cowfish Fish-man and, just like his fish type, had a pair of small horns on his forehead. |
| 1345 | * TheHyena: He laughed at almost everything, like at Cutty Flam and Iceburg's quarrels, or when he narrowly avoided a death sentence with the promise of the Puffing Tom and Spandam threatened an unprovoked house search. |
| 1346 | * IRegretNothing: After using his pardon to save Franky and Iceberg from the judicial ship attack, Tom realizes that he's back to where he was when he was sentenced to death 14 years ago, but doesn't mind. He's proud to have helped Roger by building a ship, and sees that Water 7 has hope now thanks to his sea train. |
| 1347 | * MadeOfIron: Tom had been bombarded by Franky's battleships and impaled in the shoulder by a harpoon, which Franky said was designed to never come out without serious disfigurement. Later, Tom ripped the spear out with one hand without flinching. |
| 1348 | * MadLibsCatchPhrase: Tom tended to say "with gusto!" or "with a boom!", depending on the translation. In the original, it's "with a don!" |
| 1349 | * NiceGuy: Tom was a kind-hearted Fish-man who didn't have any prejudice against humans, even adopting two human pupils, and improved Water 7's situation with his projects. |
| 1350 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Tom was always cheerful and happy, and didn't flinch when he was arrested, but after Franky denied creating the Battle Franky battleships, Tom broke his handcuffs, slapped Franky and scolded him, telling him that a shipwright must always love their creations. Iceburg notes that he'd never seen Tom hit Franky before, despite Franky being a brat in his younger years. |
| 1351 | * PapaWolf: Tom was a carefree, friendly, and easy to entertain Fish-man, but could become truly dangerous whenever his pupils, Franky and Iceburg, were threatened. This extended to the ships he built, since he believed a shipwright is like a father to his own ships. |
| 1352 | * ParentalSubstitute: Tom basically adopted Iceburg and Franky, treating them like his own children and teaching them his own shipwright's skills. |
| 1353 | * PosthumousCharacter: He's dead by the time the series starts, however he does leave a strong legacy behind. |
| 1354 | * SecretKeeper: Tom was in possession of the blueprints for Pluton, a battleship strong enough to destroy entire islands, and hid them to prevent the World Government from getting their hands on the them. After his death, Iceburg kept hiding the blueprints in his place. |
| 1355 | * SignatureLaugh: "Tata ha ha ha ha!". |
| 1356 | * StoutStrength: Tom's portly and round physiques put a lot of emphasis on his arms, which are strong enough to carry huge pieces of wood. Justified because he's a Fish-man, who's naturally very strong on his own. |
| 1357 | * SuperStrength: Tom was strong even by Fish-man standards, able to lift a ship with just one hand while the other lifted three masts. |
| 1358 | * TakingTheHeat: To get Pluton's blueprints, Spandam and his men took control of Cutty Flam's ships and attacked Water 7. Iceburg and Cutty Flam were accused of this, but Tom took the blame, used the pardon from making the Sea Train to nullify his conviction and was executed in their place. |
| 1359 | * UltimateBlacksmith: Or Ultimate Shipwright. Tom was the best shipwright in the world, and constructed Roger's ship and the Sea Train system, the latter of which saved Water 7 from decline by opening new routes of trade for the city. He was also the custodian of the blueprints for Pluton, the biggest battleship ever made. His two pupils, Franky and Iceburg, have become the best shipwrights of their generation as well. |
| 1360 | * WorthIt: Though he does try to leverage his idea and creation of the Sea Train into a pardon for his creation of the ''Oro Jackson'', when he's forced to use it to save Franky and Iceberg, he admits that he's fine with the sentence because he's proud of his work in creating the ship. |

From this stopping point, civilians can cross the Red Line to the New World by applying to travel through Mariejois, or do as the pirates are forced to and take the more dangerous underwater route to Fish-Man Island which lies 20,000 meters below Mariejois beneath the Red Line. Sabaody is not an actual island, but a forest of massive mangrove trees clustered together which breathe out bubbles used for everyday life. Despite its close proximity to Marineford, Sabaody is a hotbed of lawlessness due to the massive number of pirates passing by, as well as the World Nobles frequently visiting from Mariejois.

| 1377 | Also known as Shakky, she is Silver Rayleigh's wife and business partner and an old friend of Hatchan's, who owns a bar in the Sabaody Archipelago called "Shakky's Rip-Off Bar", which places [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin highly exorbitant prices on anything you purchase there]]. [[TooDumbToLive Those who don't take the pub name very seriously]] [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown are dealt with accordingly]]. Other than business, she somewhat obsessively reads newspapers to garner information about current affairs which already gives her a [[MrExposition Ms Exposition]] role, as seen when she informs the Straw Hats that nine other pirates are on the archipelago, who like themselves have garnered the World Government's attention, and (including Luffy and Zoro) were dubbed the Eleven Supernovas.\ |
| 1378 | |
| 1379 | She herself was once a pirate, and was chased by Vice-Admiral Garp, but [[RetiredBadass she retired forty years ago]]. She appears to sensitive about her age since as soon as the question was brought up, she changed the subject (For the curious, she's 62 pre-timeskip, it's AllThereInTheManual). Shakky quickly look a liking to the Straw Hats, so much that she didn't charge them. She especially took a liking to Monkey D. Luffy and seems to believe him when he told her he wants to be the Pirate King. |
| 1380 | ----- |
| 1381 | * CoolOldLady: Although she [[OlderThanTheyLook really doesn't look that old]], she's an experienced woman who gives the Straw Hats many useful advice. |
| 1382 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:During her talk with Rayleigh about Luffy's whereabouts and how he would sneak into Impel Down, she states about the possibility that Hancock fell in love with Luffy for his selflessnes to help him save his brother, and that if she were Hancock, she would want to hide him on Amazon Lily. This makes more sense that she anticipated Hancock falling in love with Luffy since she herself was a former Empress of Amazon Lily having likely gone through a similar situation with falling in love with a man herself, likely to be Rayleigh.]] |
| 1383 | * HappilyMarried: Supplemental material reveals that Shakky is married with Raylegh, although they don't appear to live together, they interact a lot. |
| 1384 | * LastNameBasis: She calls Luffy "Monkey-chan", which makes her the only character to address him by his surname. |
| 1385 | * MellowFellow: Is a very relaxed and friendly woman and rarely drops her nice behavior. |
| 1386 | * MsExposition: Shakky reads a lot of papers and, when the Straw Hats arrive at Sabaody, she informs Luffy about the other Supernovas. |
| 1387 | * MysteriousPast: Aside from her marriage to Rayleigh, nothing is known about her life prior other than she retired from piracy forty-two years ago and was chased at some point by Vice-Admiral Garp [[spoiler:and was a former Empress of Amazon Lily two generations ago]]. |
| 1388 | * OlderThanTheyLook: She looks rather young, but she's ''sixty-two years old'' pre-timeskip. She looks so young despite this that when Brook asks to see her panties, she's flattered enough to be asked at her age to actually comply! |
| 1389 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler:Upon reuniting with Hancock as seeing her home Amazon Lily ravaged by the Marines and Blackbeard, the normally happy Shakky is frowning and upset over the damage done to her former home.]] |
| 1390 | * RetiredBadass: In the past, she was chased by "Garp the Hero" [[spoiler:as the former queen of Amazon Lily and captain of the Kuja Pirates]], and retired forty years before meeting the Straw hats. However, she still has it in her to kick the ass of anyone who doesn't pay in full for their drinks. |
| 1391 | * ShipperOnDeck: Correctly guessed that Hancock would fall for Luffy for being such a NiceGuy and for the most part is supportive of her feelings for him. [[spoiler:Which would make sense as she also likely suffered Love Sickness as a former Emperess of Amazon Lily who also followed her heart just as she encouraged Hancock to do so.]] |
| 1392 | * SmokingIsCool: She's one of the rare women in the show who smokes, and she definitely isn't a woman to be trifled with. |
| 1393 | * StrongerThanTheyLook: Despite looking like an average woman, in her introduction she beats three large men to a bloody pulp with her bare hands with ease. [[spoiler:The fact she was a former Empress of Amazon Lily, who are masters in the art of Haki suggests she must have been a very powerful fighter in her prime.]] |

| 1438 | |
| 1439 | ->''"Did somebody say...'handsome'?"'' |
| 1440 | |
| 1441 | A former bounty hunter and kidnapper based in Sabaody Archipelago, leader of the Rosy Life Riders (formerly known as Flying Fish Riders) turned ally of the Straw Hats. Initially, his relationship with the Straw Hats was very hostile, particularly Sanji, as the crew's raid on Enies Lobby made them world famous, and turned his (comparatively) "quiet" life of being a small-time mafia hood into a nightmare as he was hounded by Marines and bounty hunters, as he [[MistakenIdentity looked remarkably like Sanji's terribly drawn wanted poster]]. Eventually, he was forced to wear an iron mask, to protect his identity, and live the life of a kidnapper as part of the biker gang, The Flying Fish Riders.\ |
| 1442 | |
| 1443 | After antagonizing the Straw Hats, by kidnapping their friends Camie and Pappagu, the Flying Fish Riders are easily defeated, and Duval personally has his face rearranged (literally) by Sanji. However, upon Duval's recovery, he finds himself looking beautiful, and no longer holds a grudge on the crew; personally thanking Sanji for beating him ''pretty'', and declares he is now in their debt. His new outlook on life changes, he begins calling himself "Handsome", and changes his crew name to the Rosy Life Riders. He's of some use during the middle of the Sabaody Archipelago arc, and after the crew were vanished by Kuma, he swears to protect the ship until they return. During the TimeSkip, he received several injuries from a battle with the Marines after they discovered the ''Thousand Sunny'' and fought alongside Hatchan until the Marines retreated. He's then seen covered in bandages with the rest of the Rosy Life Riders in the back of Shakky's Ripp-Off Bar. |
| 1444 | ----- |
| 1445 | * AccentSlipUp: When angered, Duval lapses back into his native accent (a Tohoku dialect in Japanese, a [[DeepSouth Southern drawl]] in English, and [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent what seems like a Scanian accent]] in Swedish.). His Riders all know that's a sign that he's ready to snap. |
| 1446 | * AssholeVictim: While he was accidentally framed for being a Straw Hat pirate, he reveals in his backstory that he used to be a mobster bullying a small town, so he deserves being chased by the Navy, even if it's for the wrong reasons. |
| 1447 | * BadassNormal: Despite being completely [[OvershadowedByAwesome overshadowed by Sanji]] in a fight, he and his gang were able to successfully defend the ''Thousand Sunny'' from Marine attackers for two years straight while the Straw Hats were separated from it. |
| 1448 | * BaitAndSwitch: Introduced with the implication that he is a dangerous figure from Sanji's past who would go on to become a major villain. In reality, he and Sanji have no pre-existing relationship and he ends up being a comically short-lasting villain who very quickly becomes a helpful ally. |
| 1449 | * BerserkButton: The mere mention of the Straw Hats, especially Sanji, was enough to have him rant at length about his revenge, which in turn brought out [[TheIdiotFromOsaka his accent]]. That was all sorted out though when Sanji helped him out. |
| 1450 | * BigBadWannabe: Before his HeelFaceTurn, he's built up as an intimidating villain. Turns out he's just the victim of a terrible misunderstanding. Then Sanji fixes his problem and he drops the act. |
| 1451 | * CampStraight: Don't let his eccentric and narcissistic behavior fool you, he's not gay. He only started acting like this after Sanji's operation. |
| 1452 | * CasanovaWannabe: At becoming a {{Bishonen}}, he soon went around trying to hit on girls, to no avail. Sanji mentions that he may have repaired his face, but not his screwy personality. |
| 1453 | * CurbstompBattle: Sanji destroys him with a single attack. To his credit, Sanji's attack was powered up by seething rage. |
| 1454 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: He's only the antagonist for the first half of the Sabaody Archipelago arc before becoming an extremely helpful guide for the second half. |
| 1455 | * {{Doppelganger}}: Unwittingly, to Sanji. [[spoiler:It's revealed that Sanji's royal family, the Vinsmokes, have been looking for him for several years, but because Sanji's bounty posters had Duval's face, the Vinsmokes focused on him instead. It's also revealed that the Vinsmokes physically and psychologically abused Sanji as a kid, so having Duval around gave him a form of protection (though both parties didn't know it). [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Now that Sanji fixed Duval's face, he ends up revoking that protection]]]]. |
| 1456 | * AFatherToHisMen: His crew is very loyal to him, and he doesn't mistreat them in any way. Before and after his HeelFaceTurn. |
| 1457 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: Sorta. He was a small-time hood who became a notorious slave ringer. |
| 1458 | * {{Gonk}}: At first. His face prior to Sanji's face-fixing could be described as, "What if Sanji was born {{Gonk}}-looking?" |
| 1459 | * HeelFaceTurn: He was the enemy of the Straw Hats because he happened to look like Sanji's poorly drawn wanted poster. When his face was fixed, he became their ally because of gratitude. He also stopped kidnapping people for the slave trade. |
| 1460 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Post-facial reconstruction, he's a friendly and helpful guy, but also a raging narcissist who is often extremely annoying to be around. |
| 1461 | * LargeAndInCharge: Duval is over 15 feet tall, [[EvilIsBigger dwarfing even his lookalike Sanji]], and is easy to spot among his underlings. |
| 1462 | * MagicPlasticSurgery: Received one courtesy of Sanji. He is very pleased with the results. |
| 1463 | * MalevolentMaskedMan: Wore an iron mask to hide his face from the Marines and bounty hunters. During this time, he was also a ruthless slave trader. |
| 1464 | * ManInTheIronMask: Initially. He ditches the mask after his face is fixed. |
| 1465 | * MistakenIdentity: He looked like Sanji's poorly drawn wanted poster (which in turn looked nothing like Sanji). Gave him grief from bounty hunters and Marines. Until Sanji caved his face in several times. |
| 1466 | * {{Narcissist}}: Nowadays, he is. He's taken to call himself "Handsome", and injecting his new name in his sentences. |
| 1467 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: He is shown to be a competent foe, beyond Hatchan who was an antagonist in East Blue. However, he is no match for Sanji post-Enies Lobby. |
| 1468 | * PaperTiger: Built up as being a highly intimidating and dangerous enemy with some sort of past with Sanji, but is revealed to be a buffoon whose only connection to Sanji is his uncanny resemblance to his poorly drawn wanted poster. He could have been a legitimate threat to Luffy back in East Blue, but after the near-death experiences the Straw Hats faced at Enies Lobby and Thriller Bark, the crew had [[TookALevelInBadass leveled up so much]] that they barely broke a sweat with this guy. |
| 1469 | * TheReveal: One that was as shocking as it was ''hilarious'' -- his face is almost exactly similar to the "bad art poster" Sanji, which is why he hides it in a mask and he has a deep grudge against Sanji. [[spoiler: This undergoes a CerebusRetcon when we find out that Duval was technically ''covering'' for Sanji, by unwittingly taking all the heat from Sanji due to his abusive family and ''Big Mom'' herself.]] |
| 1470 | * UndyingLoyalty: Develops this towards Sanji after he rearranges his face to be handsome. While Sanji is grateful for his help, he otherwise finds Duval to be an annoyance. |
| 1471 | * YouShallNotPass: Spends the timeskip protecting the ''Thousand Sunny'' with the rest of the crew. |

| 1477 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fake_straw_hat_crews_jolly_roger.png]] |
| 1478 | |
| 1479 | A relatively new (well, to being impersonators, that is) crew led by "Three Tongued" Demalo Black, this small and very weak crew took advantage of the disappearance of the Straw Hat Pirates and impersonated them (minus Brook, who was not known as a member until relatively recently), using their reputation to recruit 100+ members, including 10 people with bounties over 70,000,000 and three whole crews, the captains of which are "Gashed" Albion, "Lip Service" Doughty and the new-age Supernova brothers "Wet Hair" Caribou" and "Blood Splatterer" Coribou.\ |
| 1480 | |
| 1481 | The crew is then effectively dismantled. Black is captured by Sentomaru, the fake Robin (Cocoa) and Chopper (Nora Gitsune) are kidnapped by mysterious agents, the fake Zoro (Manjaro), Nami (Chocolat), Sniper King (Mounblutain), Sanji (Drip) and Franky (Turk) are buried alive by the brothers, Doughty is either captured or (judging from a large pile of bodies) killed, and the brothers and Albion defects and escapes. |
| 1482 | ---- |
| 1483 | * AllThereInTheManual: The Fake Straw Hats' names, except for Fake Luffy (Demalo Black), Fake Robin (Cocoa), and Fake Sanji (Drip) are revealed in an SBS. As well as the fact that Albion escaped being arrested. |
| 1484 | * BuriedAlive: Caribou buries the fakes Zoro, Nami, Sniper King, Sanji, and Franky without even killing them. |
| 1485 | * ButtMonkey: They're all hardly threatening, such that they're even made into jokes. |
| 1486 | * CastingGag: All of them are played by the same voice actors as the Straw Hat pirates, just with their respective voice actors changed around.[[note]]Fake Luffy is voiced by Sanji's [=VAs=], fake Zoro by Usopp's, fake Nami by Chopper's, fake Sniper King by Franky's, fake Sanji by Zoro's, fake Chopper by Luffy's, fake Robin by Nami's and fake Franky by Brook's.[[/note]] It's meant to highlight their being total phonies. |
| 1487 | * CowardlyLion: The fake Sniper King has some shred of bravery, as he [[spoiler:tries to save the fake Sanji from being suffocated by Caribou]]. |
| 1488 | * CriminalDoppelganger: They're posing as the Straw Hats. This extends to a CastingGag in the anime, with the Straw Hats' [=VAs=] being mixed around and providing voices for the Fakes. For example Creator/HiroakiHirata and Creator/EricVale (Sanji) voice Demalo Black in Japanese and English respectively. |
| 1489 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: They impersonate one of the most infamous pirate crews in the world, and not once does it ever occur to them that it would make lots of other strong, powerful people ''want to kill them''. |
| 1490 | * DirtyCoward: The moment there's trouble, such as the moment their con is exposed, they immediately lose their cool and run away. |
| 1491 | * FailedASpotCheck: They completely fail to register Nami's rather unique tattoo in full line of sight to them, despite the fake Nami having the exact same tattoo. |
| 1492 | * FakeIdentityBaggage: Their impersonation of the Straw Hats leads to unwanted attention from the marines as well as a bunch of other pirates who seek to kill the Straw Hats in order to boost their own reputations. [[spoiler:In the end, their charade is exposed after Sentomaru easily defeats Black.]] |
| 1493 | * FatBastard: The fake Luffy, Zoro, Sniper King, and Doughty are all fat and all pirates and frauds. |
| 1494 | * FlatCharacter: Albion & Doughty don't have much Sniper King in the way of screen time or lines. |
| 1495 | * GagLips: Lip Doughty is famous in-universe for his large lips, hence his name. |
| 1496 | * GoneHorriblyWrong: They plan to use the Straw Hats' fame to recruit many powerful pirates to their crew. Unfortunately, not only do they begin impersonating the Straw Hats at exactly around the same time the ''actual'' Straw Hats are about to reunite, they recruit at least two pirates who intend to kill the Straw Hats to increase their own fame, and then draw enough attention from the Marines to get Sentomaru and two Pacifistas sent after them. |
| 1497 | * {{Gonk}}: To make them even more obvious as fakes, they're all ugly and extrmely goofy looking compared to the original Straw Hats. |
| 1498 | * {{Irony}}: |
| 1499 | ** The only one of them who looks remotely like the Straw Hat he's supposed to be imitating is fake Sanji, for whom the resemblance is actually fairly strong. Why? Because they all tried to copy the crew's looks from their wanted posters, and Sanji's poster [[FacialCompositeFailure looks nothing like him.]] |
| 1500 | ** They don't have a tenth of the competence of the real Straw Hats, but they still act more like true pirates, being frauds, greedy and causing terror. In fact, Demalo has killed more people than Luffy, despite being a pale imitation of him. |
| 1501 | ** The least cowardly of them is Fake Sniper King, while the real Usopp is the least fearless of the crew. Doesn't stop the real Usopp from effortlessly winning their fight. |
| 1502 | ** Fake Nami terrorizes people openly and for no reason. The real Nami, if she ever wants to wrong someone, she does so for money and is always subtle enough to hardly ever be caught. |
| 1503 | * KickTheDog: Black is an utter prick, shooting people when he wants with no regret. [[spoiler:Caribou & Coribou are even worse]]. |
| 1504 | * MuggingTheMonster: You would think the impostors would know what the people they are impersonating look like. |
| 1505 | * OhCrap: Several...one satisfying reaction from them is when [[spoiler:they saw the Marines after their ass.]] |
| 1506 | * PaperThinDisguise: |
| 1507 | ** They are middle-aged and extremely ugly trying to pass off as teenagers and young adults. |
| 1508 | ** Chopper is a reindeer while fake Chopper is a ''fox''. |
| 1509 | * RedShirt: Many of them, especially Lip Doughty and Albion, have little screen time and are dispatched quickly. |
| 1510 | * SmugSnake: They're all extremely smug and act like complete bastards, leeching off the Straw Hats reputation without any strength to back it up. The actual Straw Hats nonchalantly beat them. |
| 1511 | * TheStarscream: Caribou and Coribou only join so they can [[spoiler:kill the Straw Hats on the inside for fame]]. |
| 1512 | * TooDumbToLive: Oh yeah, passing yourself off as a legendary pirate crew to recruit AxCrazy pirates and letting them do your dirty work [[SarcasmMode isn't going to backfire at all]]. |

| 1524 | |
| 1525 | A phony that thought he and his crew could pass themselves off as the Straw Hats after the time skip. He attempts to use the deception to gain more people to support him. He and his whole crew were curb-stomped by the Marines when they heard that Luffy has come back... which he really should have seen coming. The only major contribution to the story is introducing the far more menacing (but still out of his league) villain Caribou.\ |
| 1526 | |
| 1527 | His bounty is 26,000,000 Berries. |
| 1528 | ----- |
| 1529 | * ArcVillain: He's the main villain of the Return to Sabaody arc. |
| 1530 | * BeardOfEvil: Has prominent stubble along his jaw, to contrast Luffy, who's never has so much as peach fuzz on his chin. |
| 1531 | * BigBadWannabe: He acts like a big name in the Grand Line as "Luffy," but the real Luffy's bounty is more than ''fifteen'' times the amount of Black's. For a better comparison, Luffy's ''first'' bounty is higher than Black's, meaning that the World Government saw Luffy in the East Blue as a bigger threat than Black at the end of the first half of the Grand Line. Sentomaru says that he's not even comparable to Luffy, and the subsequent CurbStompBattle proves that statement true. |
| 1532 | * BullyingADragon: Towards the end of his story, he tempts fate by trying to intimidate Sentomaru and his Pacifistas, but Sentomaru just flattens him with the broad end of his axe. |
| 1533 | * ButtMonkey: Manages to humiliate himself in all of his appearances, which is impressive for a guy that got about 4 chapters of screen time. |
| 1534 | * CurbStompBattle: His "fight" with Sentomaru just consisted of him being smacked by the latter with the broad side of his axe. He goes down in ''one hit''. |
| 1535 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: Impersonates Luffy, one of most infamous pirates in the world, in order to leech off his reputation. It never occurs to him that impersonating such a strong and powerful pirate would lead to a lot of other strong and powerful people ''trying to kill him''. |
| 1536 | * DirtyCoward: He and his crew's cowardice matches with their smugness. After Sentomaru beats Black's skull with the broad end of his axe, his remaining crew decide to ditch him and plead for mercy. |
| 1537 | * EntitledBastard: He seems to think that with Luffy's rep, he can get away with anything. |
| 1538 | * EvilCounterpart: He's obviously Luffy without any of his reedeming qualities; he's a huge coward underneath that smugness, is fat, a self-serving conman who fooled everyone into believing he's the real deal, and whose "friends" are just as cowardly and arrogant as him, brags about his reputation, and his only weapon is a revolver. Luffy is a fearless IdiotHero who has UndyingLoyalty to his [[TrueCompanions pirate crew]], is a Devil Fruit user and BigEater who is always skinny no matter how much he eats, never brags about what he does, and actually has the power and skill to back up his reputation. |
| 1539 | * EvilLaugh: His SignatureLaugh, "Dohaha." |
| 1540 | * FatBastard: A good reason that tells you he ain't Luffy. The real Luffy would chug down platefuls of meat in seconds without long-lasting side-effects. The real Luffy would also not shoot civilians. |
| 1541 | * FatIdiot: His scheme involves impersonating some of the most wanted and most dangerous pirates in the world, without having anything to back it up, and using that to goad other pirates that are way more powerful than him (and a [[AxeCrazy personality]] [[BloodKnight to match]]) into doing his dirty work. Does this sound like a good idea to you? He is also overweight. |
| 1542 | * FlunkyBoss: He was aiming to be one, but did not succeed. In some ways, he was a weaker & unlucky Buggy. |
| 1543 | * {{Gonk}}: Another reason why he's not Luffy -- he's a fat, middle-aged man with a smug grin, while Luffy is a cute-looking kid. |
| 1544 | * HateSink: This guy has nothing redeeming about him; he's violent, power hungry, a complete dumbass, and spends several scenes hurting random people for the hell of it. |
| 1545 | * {{Jerkass}}: Not only does he shoot a couple who happens to look like Nami and Usopp, but even after he finds out he's wrong, he shoots them some more because they complained. It later results in his phony pirate crew ditching him and pleading for mercy after Sentomaru easily stomps him. |
| 1546 | * MeaningfulName: "Three-Tongued" is a old British term for someone who lies to multiple people at once. |
| 1547 | * MuggingTheMonster: He manages to briefly antagonize Usopp, Nami, and Luffy himself thanks to RecognitionFailure; and, as you would expect, ends up getting beat up/knocked unconscious for his troubles. |
| 1548 | * NonActionBigBad: His idea of putting up a good fight is sitting on his ass and shooting people from point blank range. He doesn't even make it to the New World; one simply has to know how to call themself ''just'' a Grand Line pirate captain. |
| 1549 | * OhCrap: Practically peed himself when he saw the Marines in his presence, he then foolishly tries to scare them off with his lies. Sentomaru would give none of that crap. |
| 1550 | * PaperThinDisguise: He ''might'' pass on a general description of Luffy, but even then pirate bounty posters include pictures so... |
| 1551 | * SmallNameBigEgo: He thinks that he can pass himself as Luffy, but he's obviously out of his league (and obviously lacking a Devil Fruit ability). He only uses his gun against those who can't fight back, has a bounty smaller than Luffy after East Blue, and considering he has manipulated pirates stronger than him to do his dirty work and has committed actual crimes, the bounty probably doesn't even include something worth admiration as a reason. Nevertheless, he still thinks he can boss around the stronger pirates with better bounties. |
| 1552 | * SmugSnake: Thinks he can get into the New World by pretending to be Luffy, but he is quickly proven to be an impostor by the real (and now more powerful) Luffy. Likely his bounty and him being in the Grand Line was because he was violent and a bit cunning, though not as much as he thinks. |
| 1553 | * StarterVillain: The very first after the Time Skip. Also quite a pathetic one (even Captain Morgan briefly put up a fight). |

| 1566 | ->''"Well now, what have we here? Who is this little fellow whispering behind a rock because he looks like a Navy soldier? And, my goodness! What is this? You're weren't looking to crush our harmless party, were you? No... NO! That's not very civil at all! 'Cause if you were calling your friends for backup, that would not end well, seeing as they weren't invited. [...] That is good to hear -- and I say that for your sake too, '''keeheeheehee'''! Because if your friends ''did'' show up, this grove will be covered in ''blood''. ''Their'' blood... and ''your'' blood!"'' |
| 1567 | |
| 1568 | An infamous rookie pirate and captain of the Caribou Pirates with a bounty of 210,000,000 and a Logia-class Devil Fruit, "Wet-Haired" Caribou is infamous for murdering Marines and burying them alive. Caribou's a psychotic, homicidal serial killer that buries his victims alive for irritating him, all while praying to God to forgive the victims' sins. Caribou has eaten the Swamp-Swamp Fruit (''Numa Numa no Mi''), a Logia-class Devil Fruit which allows him to transform into, create, and control a mud-like substance which he refers to as "swamps". |
| 1569 | ----- |
| 1570 | * AscendedFanboy: [[spoiler: His deep admiration of Blackbeard is what drove him to take to the sea as a pirate, with the ultimate goal to eventually become Teach's subordinate.]] |
| 1571 | * AxCrazy: If his constant crazy eyes and deranged smile don't give it away, Caribou takes any chance to make someone suffer. The first thing he does when introduced is skewer a Marine spy with a spear, and then let him lie there in his own blood just to draw out the pain. |
| 1572 | * BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: In Caribou's cover arc, "Caribou's Kehihihihi in the New World" [[spoiler:he defeats, ''and kills'', one of Kaido's men who was supervising an island in Kaido's territories, all to save an old lady who nursed Caribou back to health after he marooned on said island]]. This is unlike what the Straw Hats do, who beat the villains into next week but leave them alive. |
| 1573 | * BadLiar: The first thing he does when he realizes he's stuck with the Straw Hats is make a pathetic attempt to pass off as a prisoner of his own pirate crew, despite having just ordered an attack on the Straw Hats. The only one who buys it is [[SuperGullible Chopper]], much to Usopp's disbelief. |
| 1574 | * BigBadEnsemble: With Vander Decken and Hody Jones during the Fish-Man Island arc. While the first two are working together, Caribou's roaming around Fish-Man Island on his own, kidnapping various mermaids and planning to sell them off in an auction, which indirectly caused the inhabitants of the island to blame the Straw Hats for it. The mess is cleared up by the end, thankfully. |
| 1575 | * BigBadWannabe: Despite the Ensemble above, Caribou's also nowhere near as threatening as either Decken or Hody, and his every interaction with the Straw Hats sees him being humiliated. Both those guys are Wannabes themselves, but Caribou is much less threatening than even them. |
| 1576 | * BlobMonster: Caribou's Logia-class swamp Devil Fruit allows him to turn into one. |
| 1577 | * BodyHorror: Examples found in Chapter 650. The first one is most terror-worthy, but even in the second... bodies should not be like that! |
| 1578 | * BuriedAlive: One of Caribou's favorite ways to kill someone. [[spoiler:This also happens to be the final fate of the Imposter Straw Hats, excluding Demalo Black (incapacitated and incarcerated by Sentoumaru), Cocoa, and Fake Chopper (both were taken away by men in black suits). This trope is also what happened to Scotch, Kaido's subordinate, when he was defeated by Caribou (masquerading as revolutionary leader Gaburu)]]. |
| 1579 | * TheBusCameBack: After his defeat at the end of the Fish-Man Island arc and his own mini-cover story, he appears [[spoiler:in the Wano arc as a prisoner in the same jail now housing Kidd and Luffy]]. |
| 1580 | * ButtMonkey: Once Caribou met the Straw Hats, his life pretty much turned into this. Even in a proper fight, he went down in one punch. The purpose of his character is to showcase the difference between Paradise and the New World; being a Logia, he would have been an extremely difficult opponent to the Paradise-level Straw Hats, but Logia on its own just doesn't cut it anymore, and Caribou quickly finds himself humiliated by six New World-grade pirates from three different crews. |
| 1581 | * ChestBlaster: Caribou keeps a gatling gun hidden inside his body, which pops out of his stomach when he needs to fire it. |
| 1582 | * CombatPragmatist: Like Caesar Clown, Caribou possesses a Logia that, while strong, is nothing on its own in an area that is positively ''lousy'' with powerful Haki users. Like Caesar, he's very aware of this and dispenses with theatrics in favor of good old-fashioned dirty fighting; but unlike Caesar, he doesn't fuck around. In his cover arc, "Caribou's Kehihihihi in the New World", [[spoiler:it allowed him to win a fight with Scotch, one of Kaido's subordinates and the guardian of Kaido's favorite island by using his powers to asphyxiate him.]] |
| 1583 | * CurbStompBattle: Caribou is on the receiving end of this thrice over near the end of the Fish-Man Island arc. He gets knocked out of the palace while trying to kidnap Shirahoshi. Then after that, he's knocked out with one punch when the Monster Trio pursued him and then again by Pekoms while trying to take back the treasure he stole. He is later defeated by Jimbei after he attempted to kidnap mermaids again, in one punch. |
| 1584 | * DishingOutDirt: Caribou's Devil Fruit allows him to control and transform into mud. |
| 1585 | * EasilyForgiven: After escaping the G5 Marines, Coribou and crew happily go back working for "Bro-bro" in the cover arc "Caribou's Kehihihihi in the New World", despite Caribou previously abandoning them to their fates. Justified, as Coribou and Caribou were taught by their grandmother to always get along no matter what they do to each other. |
| 1586 | * EnemyMine: [[spoiler:He is forced to ally with the Straw Hats in Wano, as it is his best best chance to escape being enslaved by Kaido.]] |
| 1587 | * EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: In Caribou's cover arc ''Caribou's Kehihihihi in the New World'', it's shown that they were raised by their grandma [[spoiler:which may became a reason why Caribou went back to save Gaburu's grandmother]]. |
| 1588 | * EvilLaugh: "[[SignatureLaugh Kehihihi]]" for Caribou. It's even the name of his cover arc! |
| 1589 | * EvilerThanThou: To Demalo Black's crew. He defeats all of them alone, though [[NormalFishInATinyPond that's not so impressive.]] |
| 1590 | * {{Fanboy}}: [[spoiler: In the Egghead Arc, Caribou is revealed to be a huge fan of Blackbeard. With him being moved to tears from the prospect that he might be able to meet him in person.]] |
| 1591 | * {{Gonk}}: Both him and his brother are hideously ugly, not to mention freaky-looking, but especially Caribou to frightening levels. |
| 1592 | * {{Hammerspace}}: As a secondary effect of his powers, Caribou can absorb anything into his body. He explains his total capacity is basically bottomless and what he puts in stays preserved. So he can use it to store fresh food and comes in handy when he wants to kidnap young mermaids, [[spoiler:even huge ones like Shirahoshi (though he was fortunately stopped before he could go through with that)]]. However, presumably there ''is'' a limit to how much he can carry, as after breaking into the Ryugu Palace’s treasure room, he finds himself unable to carry out all of the treasure without releasing the mermaids he kidnapped. |
| 1593 | * HyperspaceArsenal: Per the above. Caribou has a spear, a pistol, a scythe, and a gatling gun stuffed inside him. |
| 1594 | * HidingBehindReligion: Implied; Caribou begs God to forgive the Marine that tried to shoot him, and then has him BuriedAlive as punishment for said Marine's "sins." |
| 1595 | * HumiliationConga: Caribou's entire cover story arc so far is this. Jimbei serves him humiliation pie each cover. |
| 1596 | ** It started even earlier than that. [[spoiler:The Straw Hats send him flying when he's about to kidnap Shirahoshi, then Pekoms hands him his ass.]] Then the mini-arc begins, and it all goes downhill from there. |
| 1597 | ** Almost being burned at the stake, getting stuck in a storm, being saved by a little old lady, being mistaken for a revolutionary commander -- at this point, he's become so pathetic that people are starting to actually ''pity'' him. |
| 1598 | ** Seems to have been broken after he fights off some of Kaido's subordinates, showing he really did earn that bounty. |
| 1599 | * {{Hypocrite}}: When captured by Franky, Caribou begs for mercy, crying out that human life is not to be wasted so quickly... despite the fact that he personally killed numerous Marines [[spoiler:and the fake Straw Hats]]. The conversation took place after a foiled attempt to massacre the Straw Hats, which Franky points out. |
| 1600 | * IdenticalStranger: Caribou happens to look a lot like Gaburu, a commander in the Revolutionary Army [[spoiler:who is long dead before he arrived]]. [[OhCrap His face]] [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/b/bd/Chapter_702.png/revision/latest?cb=20130802165839 says it all]]. |
| 1601 | * {{Jerkass}}: Comedic humiliations aside, Caribou is a rather unpleasant individual. [[spoiler:After being saved by Gaburu's grandmother, [[PetTheDog he seems to have become genuinely attached to her]], [[VillainousRescue saving her from Kaido's subordinates]].]] |
| 1602 | * LethalJokeCharacter: By New World standards, Caribou is a laughably pathetic newbie who relies far too much on his Logia to survive, but he was not only able to take down some of Kaidou's men and their commander, a cyborg that is implied to have fought X.Drake pre-timeskip; he destroyed one of Kaidou's factories by enveloping it entirely into his swamp body -- effectively winning Kaidou's favorite Island for the Revolutionaries. |
| 1603 | * MistakenIdentity: In Caribou's cover arc, the people on the island he marooned on mistake him for Gaburu, their revolutionary leader who will lead them in a rebellion against Scotch, one of Kaido's men. [[spoiler:He later uses it to his advantage to rally the people and defeat Scotch, which turns into a DeadPersonImpersonation as the old lady Caribou saved is seen at the end praying at the real Gaburu's grave]]. |
| 1604 | * NightmareFace: Caribou. Looks even more unsettling in the anime. |
| 1605 | * NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler:Even when he goes out of his way to be a hero for the old lady that helped him out, he ''still'' can’t catch a break because [[HeroOfAnotherStory Drake]] caught ''him.'']] |
| 1606 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: |
| 1607 | ** [[spoiler:His own cover arc ''Caribou's Kehihihihi in the New World'' shows him actually ''winning'' in a fight against Scotch. Yes, he's winning a fight against the guardian of Kaido's favorite island. That ''has'' to count for something.]] |
| 1608 | ** He has the tendency to eavesdrop on conversations. [[spoiler:Due to this and after the events of Wano, he knows the whereabouts of ''two'' of three Ancient Weapons ([[ApocalypseMaiden Poseidon]] and [[WeaponOfMassDestruction Pluton]]) and tells both Van Augur and Catarina Devon from the Blackbeard Pirates during the Egghead Arc in order to successfully convince them to let him join their crew]]. |
| 1609 | * NoveltyDecay: If he had appeared during the first half of the Grand Line, Caribou's Logia Fruit combined with his sadism would have made him one of the most dangerous kinds of opponents. After the TimeSkip, he serves as an example of why a Devil Fruit alone isn't good enough. |
| 1610 | * OhCrap: Caribou, twice. |
| 1611 | ** When Mohmoo ran away and took the rest of the crew with him in fear, Caribou had ''such'' an epic one that was on par with Eneru. |
| 1612 | ** He had another one later when [[spoiler:Luffy caught him red-handed trying to kidnap Shirahoshi.]] |
| 1613 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: Caribou is a Logia, but he may actually be an aversion, as since he's a liquid-based one, he seems to have a set amount he can generate, and he can be confined in a closed space (A barrel, if you want to know), but he can absorb materials into him like Blackbeard can. |
| 1614 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He's got quite a misogynistic streak, making openly crude comments about the women of the Straw Hats and proceeding to kidnap several mermaids on Fishman Island to traffic on the black market. |
| 1615 | * PragmaticVillainy: A few times, he helps out Luffy in his time of need, if only because his own survival is at stake too. |
| 1616 | ** When the Thousand Sunny is descending to Fish-Man Island, they're attacked by a huge Kraken, and the Straw Hats are struggling to fight it without accidentally popping the bubble coating surrounding their ship. Realizing he'll die too if that happens, Caribou shows them a method to make smaller personal bubbles using the coating resin so Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji can fight it out in the water, away from their boat. |
| 1617 | ** After Luffy is beaten and severely weakened following his second rematch with Kaido, Caribou provides Luffy with a month's worth of his own personal provisions, which were hidden away in his swamp body, to eat and get his energy back, if only because he knows Luffy defeating Kaido is his only real chance of making it out of Wano alive. |
| 1618 | * PsychoForHire: For the Impostor Straw Hats, before he defected. |
| 1619 | * ScaryBlackMan: You wouldn't know it from the manga, but in the anime, Caribou is actually black (Although his brother is pale white, for some reason) and he is hella scary with his [[{{Gonk}} deformed face]] and bright green eyes and whatnot. |
| 1620 | * SealedEvilInACan: It's not very wise to open an unknown barrel with SUPER security seals. Poor mermaids. |
| 1621 | * SerialKiller: Caribou earned a reputation for killing Marines and burying them alive. |
| 1622 | * ShovelStrike: Coribou seems to carry one around, but actually uses it to dig more than fight. |
| 1623 | * SiblingTeam: Caribou and Coribou constantly work together, with the latter following whatever his "Bro-bro" tells him to do. |
| 1624 | * SinisterScythe: Caribou has one hidden away [[spoiler:inside his swamp form]]. |
| 1625 | * SlasherSmile: Caribou's default expression. |
| 1626 | * SoulSavingCrusader: When Caribou's about to kill someone, he asks an unspecified god to forgive them of their sins. It's one of the reasons he's one of the most disturbing villains in the series. |
| 1627 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Caribou wouldn't have lasted a ''week'' in the New World if he hadn't met the Straw Hats, due to his reliance on his Devil Fruit powers. Then he got his ass kicked by Luffy, Pekoms, and Jimbei, and for the most part seems more sensible, yet even more pathetic. |
| 1628 | -->'''Pekoms''': ''([[BondOneLiner after kicking his ass]])'' Logia users who think they're invincible have short lifespans. |
| 1629 | * SmugSnake: Caribou constantly has to reevaluate his plans, not because of XanatosSpeedChess, but because when he encountered the actual Straw Hats he discovered he was ''completely'' out of his depth. While he loves scheming, he has been fooled even by ''Demalo Black'' of all people. |
| 1630 | * TheStarscream: Caribou only joined the Imposter Straw Hats so they could kill them on the inside for fame. |
| 1631 | * SwampsAreEvil: Caribou is a Logia class Devil Fruit which allows him to transform into, create, and control a mud-like substance. This Fruit also grants a HammerSpace like power that allows Caribou to swallow up and store things within his body; presumably, this ability comes from quicksand being a huge threat in swamps as well as countless stories of people wandering into them and disappearing. |
| 1632 | * UngratefulBastard: Caribou, both times in his mini-arc. |
| 1633 | ** When Caribou is captured by some G5 Marines, the rest of his crew shows up to save him. His idea of thanks is to take their ship during the fighting and leave them behind. |
| 1634 | ** Later, when an old lady nurses Caribou back to health, the first thing he does as soon as she falls asleep is to steal some food and jewelry from her. [[spoiler:Then it's subverted as he later comes around to save her from one of Kaido's men]]. |
| 1635 | * VillainousRescue: In Caribou's cover arc [[spoiler:he and his crew saves an island that was oppressed by one of Kaido's men while disguised as revolutionaries, all to help an old lady who nursed Caribou to health after he was marooned]]. |
| 1636 | * WhatYouAreInTheDark: He has the perfect chance to escape Kaido's favorite island while Kaido's men attack and his own crew rescue him. He could easily run away with no one stopping him or even having to explain what happened; it would even be the smart thing to do. He decides to go back and save Gaburu's grandma anyway. |
| 1637 | * TheWorfEffect: Caribou's one-hit defeat at the hands of Mr. Pekoms seems to exist mainly to showcase that it takes more than just a Logia and a 210 million bounty to last in the New World. |
| 1638 | * YankTheDogsChain: A rare villainous example during Caribou's cover story - of course, since he's kind of a jerk, it's more funny to see him constantly yanked back to life-threatening peril. [[spoiler:Even when Caribou wins and things are looking good for everyone, he doesn't catch a break: After beating Scotch and taking down the weapons factory, he immediately gets attacked by what looks to be Timeskip X.Drake, who is almost certainly WAY out of Caribou's league.]] |

| 1652 | ----- |
| 1653 | * DumbMuscle: Coribou seems to fill the bill -- no real tactics, no clever strategy. He just follows his Bro-bro's instructions. However, he earned his name because he is very strong. |
| 1654 | * EasilyForgiven: Despite being abandoned by Caribou time and time again, he has no ill feelings towards his brother and is just happy to reunite with him. This stems from their grandmother always telling them to get along and stick together no matter what. |
| 1655 | * FatBastard: Coribou's much more overweight than his brother. |

However, it's played straight with her other siblings -- while it appears to be a subversion when they are all shocked to find [[spoiler:Luffy and Nami carrying Lola's Vivre Card and assume the worst happened]], a few of them later appear to be completely fine with [[spoiler:their mother's plan to kill her, with Lola's brother Opera preparing to torture Nami for Lola's current location [[BigDamnHeroes had Jimbei not walked in]].]] |
| 1728 | * ChekhovsGun: At the end of the Thriller Bark arc, she gives Nami a Vivre Card leading to her mother, a powerful pirate. While said mother turns out to be [[spoiler:the very antagonistic Big Mom, it also radiates enough of Big Mom's soul, thanks to Big Mom's Devil Fruit, that the homies brought to life by her power instantly stopped attacking Nami the second she pulled it out.]] |
| 1729 | * ChekhovsGunman: Her mother is said to be a powerful pirate, and is most-likely bound to play a big role later in the story. [[spoiler:Later revealed in Chapter 835, her mother is Charlotte Linlin, a.k.a Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors.]] This also makes her a WalkingSpoiler. |
| 1730 | * CoolBigSis: She was one to [[spoiler:her younger sister, Pudding. She gave her [[AffectionateGestureToTheHead a pat on the head]] before she ran away from home, and Pudding admires her enough to refuse becoming the Minister of Cacao Island after Lola's departure left it vacant, feeling her big sister would be a better Minister than her]]. |
| 1731 | * {{Determinator}}: She's ''really'' dead-set on finding a husband who'll accept and love her. Fortunately, she can take rejection well. [[spoiler: During the events of Wano, she finally succeeds in marrying Gotti of Bege's crew, ironically marrying a member of the same crew her sister Chiffon married to.]] |
| 1732 | * DualWielding: Carries two swords across her back, and while she is never seen using them in battle, the fact that her zombie was very capable at using two axes might indicate this. |
| 1733 | * EngagingConversation: Just by meeting Luffy, Lola says he's cute and asks him to marry her. It's implied she's this quick to ask any man to marry her considering how many times she's been rejected. |
| 1734 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She's the "Loved One" in question, and played with. [[spoiler:The "evil" in question is her family, Charlotte Family. When it seems that Lola's siblings care for her, they were shocked when they discover Luffy and Nami were carrying Lola's Vivre Card and assumed the worst, asking for her last words. However, a few of said siblings were later seen being totally fine with Big Mom's plan to kill their sister, with Lola's brother Opera preparing to torture Nami to get Lola's location out of her. Big Mom herself hates her guts, contrary to what Lola assumed of her mother. Her twin sister, Chiffon, is among the few of her family who genuinely cares for her... and she's a TokenGoodTeammate.]] |
| 1735 | * FallenPrincess: [[spoiler:The estranged runaway daughter of the queen Big Mom, a former resident of Tottoland and the former minister of Chocolate Island. She's totally fine with her new life as a pirate captain, but she's unaware that her family hates her guts for running away to the point of wanting to kill her, thinking they still love her and understand her decisions]]. |
| 1736 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The foolish to [[spoiler:her twin sister Chiffon's responsible. When Nami talks to Chiffon, she is found to be more mature and pragmatic than her twin, and notes that Lola is naive enough to think that their mother still loves her.]] |
| 1737 | * GagLips: Has an oversized pair of red lips. [[spoiler:She shares them with her mother, father, ''and'' twin sister]]. |
| 1738 | * GirlishPigtails: Pretty much the way to recognize her as female (with... that kind of face) is her hair, which she styles into braids. [[spoiler:Averted in Chapter 848 during Pudding's flashback, where she wore her hair in a short bob with a bow on her head]]. |
| 1739 | * {{Gonk}}: She's not very high in the looks department, which may be why her marriage proposals keep getting rejected. Though she's not much better looking than her zombie, which was a ''warthog''. Her immediate family, including her mother, father, and twin sister share the Gonkiness, too. |
| 1740 | * GonkyFemme: She may be a large woman with a big, odd face, but she's still quite ladylike and wants someone to marry her. Not to mention, her Japanese voice is quite feminine-sounding, too. |
| 1741 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: She assured the Straw Hats that her mother would lend them a hand if they ever got in trouble. Later chapters show that said mother, [[spoiler:Big Mom]], is very cruel, insane, and anything ''but'' helpful. Later [[LampshadedTrope lampshaded]] by her twin sister, who correctly figures that Lola is so "[[CloudCuckooLander happy-go-lucky]]" that she probably doesn't even realize their mother hates her guts. |
| 1742 | * IdenticalTwinIDTag: She has a twin [[spoiler:Charlotte Chiffon]] with the same {{Gonk}}y face. However, Lola has braided hair and has a tooth gap. Her twin has GirlishPigtails and a bow in her hair similar to one Lola had before running away. |
| 1743 | * IHaveNoSon: Lola's mother seems to have disowned her for running away from a crucial ArrangedMarriage, and wants to [[spoiler:have her killed for her disobedience]]. |
| 1744 | * LoveFreak: See MarryForLove below. |
| 1745 | * MarryForLove: Her main goal, which is why she proposed to random people over 4,000 times. She hasn't succeeded yet, though, due to her {{Gonk}}y face. It's later revealed that her desire for true love caused her to run away from [[spoiler:a political marriage with the giants' prince, Loki]], which would help her mother become King of the Pirates had it not fallen through. Even though Lola's suitor was one of the first, and so far only, people to fall in love with her, the fact that the groom was already chosen didn't sit right with her. |
| 1746 | * MassOhCrap: Participates in one during the Thriller Bark arc, as everyone watches Gekko Moriah unleashes "[[OneWingedAngel Shadow Asgard]]". |
| 1747 | * NaiveEverygirl: Romantic, innocent and clueless. The clueless bit comes from her still thinking that [[spoiler:her mother wouldn't kill her after running away from the most important marriage she had ever arranged]]. |
| 1748 | * NotGoodWithRejection: Averted. Despite having had proposed over 4,000 times, she's totally fine with being rejected. Her zombie, however, plays it straight. |
| 1749 | * OddNameOut: [[spoiler:The rest of the Charlotte family is named after sweets or musical acts]]. It helps cement her status as the WhiteSheep. |
| 1750 | * PluckyGirl: Refused to budge while the sun was actively disintegrating her, because she had already decided to put her faith in Luffy to get everyone's shadows back. |
| 1751 | * RescueRomance: Because of her desire to find her true love, when [[spoiler:she's saved by Gotti, Lola kisses him and asks him to marry her, much to his astonishment]]. |
| 1752 | * TheRunaway: Lola's mother arranged for her to marry [[spoiler:the giants' prince, Loki]], which would ally [[spoiler:the Big Mom Pirates with the giants]], and help her mother become King of the Pirates. Lola wanted to find a husband of her own choosing, so she ran away from home. |
| 1753 | * SignificantNameOverlap: Both she and her zombie (i.e the undead humanoid warthog that had her shadow) have the same name. Most zombies bear the name they had when alive- for example, the zombie Ryuuma has Brook's shadow. |
| 1754 | * SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: It is unlikely that ''any'' fictional character has tried harder to find a husband than Lola has, having asked 4452 men to marry her, including all of the male members of the Straw Hats, even the non-human Chopper and the undead Brook. They all said no. If [[{{Gonk}} her appearance]] doesn't turn them away, her habit of coming on too strong will; it tends to be the first thing she asks upon meeting men. Luckily, she takes rejection in stride, and she still shows no signs of giving up. |
| 1755 | * SpannerInTheWorks: Chapter 847 reveals that Lola was supposed to marry [[spoiler:the giants' prince, Loki]], who could help her mother become the King of the Pirates. Her running away put her mother's plans down the crapper; this is why there are [[spoiler:no giants on Totto Land]] and why Lola's twin sister got smacked if she and their mother met. Lola's mother's hatred for her is to the point where she [[spoiler:sends Opera, Lola's brother, to interrogate the captured Luffy and Nami for Lola's location so she can kill her]]. |
| 1756 | ** The Vivre Card she gave to Nami also [[spoiler:allowed Nami to control Big Mom's homies to an extent]]. |
| 1757 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: Lola inherited her [[{{Gonk}} ugliness]], GagLips, and too small eyes from her father. She also heavily resembles her twin sister in all but hair. Lola has braids, while her twin has pigtails. In that case it's justified due to being identical twins. Some of her ugliness may have come from her mother, too. |
| 1758 | * SupremeChef: [[spoiler:Chapter 879 reveals that she was a very good chocolatier much like her younger sister Pudding, enough to make her occupy the seat of being Minister of Chocolatown. [[SuccessionCrisis Pudding was expected to replace her sister as Minister after Lola ran away from a political marriage]], [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter but she always refused, seeing Lola as a better cook and a better Minister]]]]. |
| 1759 | * TeethFlying: She has a tooth gap, presumably from her pirate life and the events of the Thriller Bark arc. [[spoiler:Flashbacks reveal that all her teeth were still intact before she ran away.]] |
| 1760 | * TheUnfavorite: Lola became this to her family and ''especially'' her mother after she ran away from an important ArrangedMarriage with [[spoiler:the giant prince, Loki]]. Her disobedience also caused her twin to be [[spoiler:horrifically abused by Big Mom whenever the two crossed paths]], [[MisplacedRetribution just for being her identical twin sister]]. One of Lola's brothers is willing to [[spoiler:help interrogate Luffy and Nami for Lola's location so Big Mom can assassinate her]]. Lola herself is completely unaware of her family's extremely low opinion of her, a fact that her twin [[LampshadeHanging comments on]], noting that she won't be able to come back home without people trying to kill her. |
| 1761 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:Lola's impulsive decision to run away from home the day she was supposed to get married (to someone who ''actually loved her'', no less) left Big Mom nursing one hell of a grudge, causing Lola's twin sister Chiffon to horribly abused for years just for physically resembling her]]. |
| 1762 | * WhiteSheep: Is this to her family, at least in the audience's eyes, for being a nice, decent person compared to the homicidal, sadistic tendencies made apparent in most of her siblings. Said family, except for her twin sister, at least, sees her as the BlackSheep. |
| 1763 | * YouWouldntShootMe: She's confident that her mother wouldn't kill her, because they're family. Her twin sister knows far better and states that Lola wouldn't be able to [[spoiler:set foot back in Totto Land without being assassinated.]] |

| 1766 | [[folder:Humandrills]] |
| 1767 | A strange species of primates native to Gloom Island that can imitate human fighting styles. Zoro is faced with dozens of them upon being sent to the island by Kuma. |
| 1768 | ---- |
| 1769 | * InstantExpert: Their strength lies in their ability to learn any fighting technique by watching others preform them themselves. It takes only one battle to learn two of Zoro's techniques. |
| 1770 | * MasterSwordsman: They're so adept at learning sword fighting that in the anime, a Humandrill can copy Zoro's three-sword style from just one fight. And a whole group of them quickly overpower Zoro who's giving it his all to fend them off. The strongest of them has even copied Mihawk's fighting style. |

| 1780 | |
| 1781 | An elderly meteorolgical scientist living on the sky island of Weatheria. He takes in Nami after she is sent there by Kuma and, along with his colleagues, teaches her Meteorology and modifies her Clima-Tact for her. |
| 1782 | ----- |
| 1783 | * AbsentMindedProfessor: Definitely. For one example, when Nami panicked and got sad due to being separated from her friends, he tried to cheer her up with a Wind Knot; failing to realize that the gusts created by them are strong enough to send a person flying. |
| 1784 | * BlowYouAway: He has a special piece of rope called a "Wind Knot". |
| 1785 | * CoolOldGuy: He's pretty goofy but he's quite the clever fellow. He fits the bill a lot more after the timeskip, where he and some other fellow scientists on Weatheria have taken up fashion and ditched the dated wizard's garb for more rad clothing. |
| 1786 | * ExtremeDoormat: He always lets Nami get away with abusing him. [[ButtMonkey Probably because he knows he can't stop her.]] |
| 1787 | * MentorArchetype: He becomes Nami's teacher over the timeskip, teaching her to harness his people's weather science. |
| 1788 | * MiniatureSeniorCitizens: He's shown to be extremely short in the anime, though he's tall and wiry like the other residents of Weatheria in the manga. |
| 1789 | ** As of Chapter 825, he and the other Weatherian scientists are wearing new stylish clothes so they can impress Nami next time they see her. Now he has a black bowler-like hat with goggles to match his new black suit. |
| 1790 | * PunnyName: It basically translates to "bringing out clear skies". |
| 1791 | * RainAura: Its actually more of a Rain ''Sphere''. |
| 1792 | * RobeAndWizardHat: He looks like a stereotypical wizard right out of [[Franchise/HarryPotter Hogwarts]]. |
| 1793 | * VerbalTic: "Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi..." |
| 1794 | * WizardBeard: He looks like a wizard (as does most Weatherians) and has a long white beard. |

| 1797 | [[folder:Heracles]] |
| 1798 | !!Heracles |
| 1799 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Rintaro Nishi (JP), David Wilson-Brown (EN) |
| 1800 | !!!'''Age:''' 49 (Pre-Timeskip), 51 (Post-Timeskip) |
| 1801 | !!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 524 (Manga), Episode 420 (Anime) |
| 1802 | |
| 1803 | [[quoteright:285:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heracles_anime.png]] |
| 1804 | |
| 1805 | A strange warrior in beetle-style armor that lives at Boin Archapelago. He befriended Usopp when he was sent there by Kuma and taught him about Pop Greens. |
| 1806 | ----- |
| 1807 | * TwentyFourHourArmor: He is ''always'' seen wearing his armor. |
| 1808 | * BadassCape: Underneath a beetle shell no less. |
| 1809 | * CloudCuckoolander: He has several quirks, such as his tendency to repeatedly introduce himself. |
| 1810 | * TheFaceless: We never get to see what he looks like under that big helmet of his. |
| 1811 | * GreenThumb: He is an expert in the use of Pop Greens, seeds that grow to full sized plants in an instant. |
| 1812 | * LargeHam: ''I'M THE HERO OF THE FOREST, HERACLES-UN!'' |
| 1813 | * LightningBruiser: He's as fast and strong as he is large. |
| 1814 | %%* MaskPower |
| 1815 | * MeaningfulName: His likely is meant to refer to the Hercules Beetle, as Heracles is the original Greek name for the hero, and that the horns on his helmet resembles those of one. |
| 1816 | * MentorArchetype: Heracles is the only person Usopp meets in the Boin Arcipelago and he teaches him during the two year TimeSkip in regards to how to use the Pop Greens as well as how to hone his combat skills and increase his self-confidence. |
| 1817 | * TestosteronePoisoning: He is always gabbing on about "manliness". |
| 1818 | * UtilityBelt: Where he keeps his supply of Pop Greens. |
| 1819 | * VerbalTic: He has a habit of putting "-un" at the end of sentences and people's names. |
