Paradise

Paradise is the first part of the Grand Line, a notoriously difficult sea route. Although it is considered less dangerous than the 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.

Reverse Mountain

Crocus

A lighthouse keeper as well as the caretaker of Laboon. He the first person the Straw Hats meet upon entering the Grand Line. After they help Laboon, he tells the crew how the Grand Line works and loans them a Log Pose to navigate the sea. It's later revealed he was on Roger's crew as its doctor, and more information on him can be found here.

Laboon

Age: 51 (Pre-Timeskip), 53 (Post-Timeskip)

Debut: Chapter 102 (Manga), Episode 62 (Anime)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/laboon_anime.png

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.
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.

Since then, Laboon patiently waits for Luffy's return and doesn't smash his head against the Red Line anymore.

Beware the Nice Ones: Laboon is an oversized, friendly softie. Ships that annoy or challenge him merely get swallowed up, but piss him off proper and he'll curb-stomp you.
Chekhov's Gunman: 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.
Covered with Scars: 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.
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 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.
Eye Scream: Luffy gets so angry at him that he punches Laboon in the eye.
Gentle Giant: Laboon is a huge whale, but really kind.
Inconsistent Spelling: His name has sometimes been spelled as "Raboon".
Intellectual Animal: Laboon is heavily emotional and surprisingly understanding for a whale and can understand the motives behind people's actions.
I Will Wait for You: 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.
Mysterious Animal Senses: 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.
The Promise: 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.
Ridiculously Cute Critter: At least as a baby whale◊, Laboon was very adorable, especially when he listens to Rumbar Pirates' music.
Shoo the Dog: 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.
Super-Toughness: 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.
Undying Loyalty: To the Rumbar Pirates. Even after fifty years since their departure, he still waits for them and hopes to reunite with them.
Womb Level: Laboon's internal anatomy 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.

Little Garden

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 little garden.

. For the villains who appear on Little Garden, see here.

Dorry and Brogy

Dorry voiced by: Daisuke Gōri (JP), Bob Carter (EN, Funi), Héctor Moreno (Netflix) (Latin American Spanish)
Brogy voiced by: Tetsu Inada (JP), Jonathan C. Osborne (EN, Funi), Mauricio Pérez (Netflix) (Latin American Spanish)

Age: 158 (Pre-Timeskip), 160 (Post-Timeskip)

Debut: Dorry: Chapter 116 (Manga), Episode 71 (Anime); Brogy: Chapter 115 (Manga), Episode 71 (Anime)

Dorry

Brogy

Two Giants from the land of Elbaf who once resided on 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.

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.

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.

Almighty Janitor: 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. 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.
Badass Cape: Both of them wear capes befitting the badass giants they are.
Barbaric Battleaxe: Brogy's weapon of choice, the Bruiser Axe.
Battle Aura: They both get one in the anime while using their special attack (see below). Dorry's is blue, Brogy's is red.
Beard of Barbarism: 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.
Beware the Nice Ones:
- As openly friendly and genuinely affable as they are, they are both pirates and giants from Elbaf and will not hesitate to show their enemies what that means. 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 gleeful at the chance to utterly destroy Kid's ship and crew without mercy by using their 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.
- 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]".
BFS: Dorry's weapon of choice, the Terry Sword, is a sword longer than his own arm.
Big Damn Heroes: Literally. They show up during the 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.
Big Fun: Brogy, both figuratively and literally, is rounder than Brogy and a bit more joyful.
The Bus Came Back: Chapter 1076 shows us that their Forever War has seemingly ended, considering that they are back on Elbaf alongside the Red-Haired Pirates.
Combination Attack: 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 or cleaving a ship clean in half.
Don't You Dare Pity Me!: 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.
Forever War: 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. Considering that the Egghead Arc shows them both on Elbaf, it's pretty strongly implied that one of them finally won.
Friendly Enemy: 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.
Honor Before Reason: 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.
Horny Vikings: Their culture is based on the vikings and Brogy wears a horned helmet.
Inconsistent Spelling: Their names have been spelt "Dorey and Brogey" and loads of other variations.
Know When To Foldem: 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.
Made of Iron: 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).
Offscreen Inertia: Cover stories always shows them engaged in their epic battle, implying that neither of them has managed to come out victorious. Until the Egghead Arc, where it's implied that one of them won the duel, since they are both on Elbaf.
Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Chapter 1076 reveals that their Forever War is seemingly over with one of them the victor, considering they have both returned to Elbaf. Who won said legendary duel is unknown, however.
Our Giants Are Bigger: 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.
Pay Evil unto Evil: 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.
Proud Warrior Race Guy: 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.
Razor Wind: 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.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: According to their epithets, Dorry is the blue and Brogy the red. Subverted though since their personalities are similar.
Religious Bruiser: 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.
Running Gag: 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 Little Garden Arc. They're still so evenly matched that each battle seems to end in a Double Knockout.
Signature Laugh: They each have a distinctive laugh. Usopp proves he really did meet them by copying their laughs in front of Oimo and Kashi.
- Dorry: "Gegyagyagyagya!"
- Brogy: "Gebabababababa!"
Small Role, Big Impact: Despite being Put on a Bus 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 Heel–Face Turn and help the Straw Hats. Their role becomes less small when they show up on Egghead to help the Straw Hats escape.
Strong and Skilled: They have not only the power to cleave through 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, and again when they trisect Saint Ju Peter precisely around the segment of the Elder's body that Luffy has been swallowed into.
Sword Beam: 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.
Tears of Joy: 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.
Vitriolic Best Buds: They are still best friends and actually quite chummy with one another when they aren't fighting.
Worf Had the Flu: 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-Time Skip, they're shown to be far stronger than they were in Little Garden now that they're in peak shape with fresh weaponry.

Sakura Kingdom

A kingdom in a snowy island, where the greatest doctors in the world reside. 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.

Dr. Kureha

Voiced by: Masako Nozawa (JP), Maddie Blaustein (EN, 4Kids), Julie Mayfield (EN, Funi); Erika Mireles (4Kids), Laura Torres (Netflix) (Latin-American Spanish)

Age: 139 (Pre-Timeskip), 141 (Post-Timeskip)

Debut: Chapter 134 (Manga), Episode 80 (Anime)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kureha_anime.png

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.

Ax-Crazy: The lengths she'll go to hurt you if you anger her are insane. She chases you with all kinds of weapons.
Berserk Button: You better not call her "old", unless you want to get kicked across the room.
The Bus Came Back: 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.
Butter Face: A Running Gag with her is that upon meeting her, people are often stunned by how beautiful her body looks. Then they see her face.
Character Catchphrase: "Ya happy?"
Cool Old Lady: She's a world class doctor, and regards Chopper like a son (not that you'd know it).
Cool Shades: Often wears shades in her cooler moments.
Could Say It, But...: 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.
Dr. Jerk: God help you if you try to defy her medical orders. It's mostly in the interest of her patients. Mostly.
Good Is Not Soft: 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.
Hammerspace: Where she gets the stuff she can chuck at people from. She can even throw chickens at them!
Hidden Depths: While she's certainly very insightful and intelligent, she still appears to all the world to be a (somewhat) average if highly skillful doctor, and yet she closes out the Drum Island arc by revealing to the audience for the first time not only the Pirate King's actual name, but that the "D." in both his name and Luffy's is something very special - knowledge that scant few people outside Roger's crew and the World Government itself are privy to.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: 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.
Long-Lived: She's over a hundred years old.
Ms. Exposition:
- Subverted. She's the first person in the series to mention the mysterious "Will of D", but she never elaborates it.
- Played straight in regards to Chopper's backstory, as she explains it to Nami and by extension the audience.
Never Mess with Granny: She may be an old woman but that doesn't stop her from going medieval on your ass if you piss her off.
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.
No Celebrities Were Harmed: She bares some resemblance to Margaret Hamilton, her actress in the Funmation dub taking it further.
Older Than They Look: She's actually 139 (141 after timeskip) years young.
Parental Substitute: Kureha is the closest thing Chopper has to a mother figure.
Running Gag: She often asks people if they want to know the secret for her age and young looks. Nobody is interested.
- More like interrupting any question as if THAT is what they wanted to ask. They quickly correct her, apparently fearing the answer.
- Another one is people mistaking her for a young woman until they see her Butter Face.
Silver Fox: Despite being more than a century old, she's does not look all that bad except maybe the Butter Face.
So Proud of You: Done very subtly. Her shirt when she shows up at Reverie has Chopper's bounty printed on it.
Tap on the Head: Her preferred method of anesthesia: have Chopper give the patient a concussion.
Tsundere: She cries when Chopper leaves the castle (after chasing him with knives and all, mind you).
What the Hell, Hero?: 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.

Dalton

Debut: Chapter 132 (Manga), Episode 80 (Anime)

Devil Fruit: Ox-Ox Fruit Model: Bison

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dalton_post_timeskip_anime.png

^{Click here to see his hybrid form}

^{Click here to see his bison form}

"Because there's no cure for a fool!"

The leader, now king, of Drum Island. He was once a guard under Wapol and regretted every minute of it. He has eaten the Ox-Ox Fruit (Ushi Ushi no Mi) Model: Bison, which is the first Zoan Devil Fruit to be (properly) introduced in the series.

The Atoner: He hated working under Wapol, and made sure to make up for it however possible, even before becoming King.
The Beastmaster: After the Time Skip, it's shown in a cover story that he uses the Lapahns as troops, so he's definitely developing shades of this.
Brought Down to Normal: For some reason, Movie 9 didn't include his Devil Fruit.
The Bus Came Back: 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.
Commonality Connection: Rebecca, Shirahoshi, and the Tontatta dwarves are quick to bond with him over their shared friendship with Luffy.
Elective Monarchy: 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.
The Good King: 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.
Heroic Build: Tall and bulky, especially considering how Muscles Are Meaningless in this series.
Heroic Self-Deprecation: 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.
Improbable Weapon User: A large spade.
Manly Tears: Hiriluk's speech at Drum Castle brought him to tears as the doctor's words hammered home exactly how bad the country had become.
Modest Royalty: After becoming king, he prefers to live in one of the villages rather than in the castle.
Nice Guy: So nice, he'll tell you trivia about himself without you having to ask.
Noble Top Enforcer: 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.
Our Minotaurs Are Different: His hybrid-form from his bison devil fruit lends him an appearance like a minotaur.
Overshadowed by Awesome: 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.
Royals Who Actually Do Something: To the point that he really prefers not being called a King at all.
Shut Up, Hannibal!: 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.
Taking the Bullet: 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.
Token Good Teammate: When Wapol was still king, he was only member of his troops who cared about the citizens of the kingdom.

Dr. Hiriluk

Voiced by: Shigeru Ushiyama (JP), Frank Guida (EN, 4Kids), Mark Stoddard (EN, Funi); Jesús Cortez (4kids), Eduardo Tejedo (Netflix) (Latin American Spanish)

Age: 68

Debut: Chapter 141 (Manga), Episode 85 (Anime)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hiluluk_anime.png

"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."

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...

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.

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.

...And That Little Boy Was Me: 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.
Back-Alley Doctor: 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.
Better to Die than Be Killed: 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.
Break His Heart to Save Him: 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.
Chronic Hero Syndrome: 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.
Comically Inept Healing: 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.
Cool Old Guy: Hiruluk's starts Chopper's medical training and instills in him his generous and kind spirit, all in his older years.
Doomed Moral Victor: 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.
Dying Moment of Awesome: 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.
Face Death with Dignity: 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.
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.
Heroic Suicide: 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 his hat, which blows down to Chopper and allows him to realize that Hiriluk had died.
High Hopes, Zero Talent: 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.
I Regret Nothing: Before drinking a potion that blows him up, Hiriluk says he lived a wonderful life and thanks Chopper for it.
Immortality Through Memory: Right before committing his Heroic Suicide, 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.
Improbable Hairstyle: His hair is shaped like a medical cross as a visual clue to him being a doctor.
Interspecies Adoption: Hiriluk is a human and adopts Chopper (a reindeer with a Devil Fruit) as his son after finding him injured and treating his wounds.
Lured into a Trap: 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.
Mad Scientist: 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.
Made of Explodium: 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.
Mentor Occupational Hazard: 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.
Nudity Equals Honesty: 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.
Parental Substitute: Hiriluk is a father figure to Chopper, having adopted him after finding him in a blizzard, and teaches the reindeer his own moral code.
Posthumous Character: 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.
Rasputinian Death: 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.
Reformed Criminal: 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.
Signature Laugh: Hiruluk's laugh is Eh eh eh!' Chopper later mimics his laugh.
Unwanted Assistance: The people of the Drum Kingdom don't like his help as he usually makes their ailments worse.
Vitriolic Best Buds: 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.
Your Days Are Numbered: 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.

Bliking Pirates

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jollyroger_wapol_pirates.png

Chess

Kuromarimo

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 ninth movie, Musshuru, Wapol's elder brother is introduced. Later, Chess and Kuromarimo are "merged" by Wapol in the warrior Chessmarimo.

After the timeskip, Wapol's pirate crew has given way to the Evil Black Drum Kingdom in the South Blue.

For Wapol himself, see Blue Seas.

Achilles' Heel: Chessmarimo's chin is a weak spot that Chopper's Rumble Ball-enhanced Brain Point identifies.
Adapted Out: Chessmarimo in Episode of Chopper, as Wapol merges with his own brother instead.
Death by Adaptation: In Episode of Chopper, Chess and Kuromarimo are last shown knocked out by Musshuru's poison spore, implicitly killing them.
Dual Wielding: Chessmarimo wields four axes at once.
Fusion Dance: Invoked by Chessmarimo, who claims to be a Super-Soldier 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.
Gonk: Chess barely looks human at all with his attire and face.
Kick the Dog: During Dalton's attack, Chess willingly shoots a volley of arrows at some incoming villagers, knowing full well that Dalton will shield them.
Multi-Melee Master: Chessmarimo is shown using bows, hammers and axes in battle.
Not-So-Harmless Villain: 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.
Playing with Fire: Chess often uses fire arrows.
Razor Wind: Chessmarimo can do this with axes.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Crosses with Dirty Coward. 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.
Terrible Trio: Wapol, Chess, and Kuromarimo fashioned themselves as these.
Rank Scales with Asskicking: 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.
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Chessmarimo delivered one to Chopper, but it didn't work.
Voice of the Legion: Chessmarimo's voice sounds like Chess and Kuromarimo talking together. In the manga, this effect is given through the use of overlapping letters.
Walk on Water: 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.
What Happened to the Mouse?: Robson and Chessmarimo's fates after being sent flying and being defeated respectively are entirely unknown. For what it's worth, the What If? Episode of Chopper shows Robson having crashed in a snowbank while Chess and Kuromarimo get a cameo in a non-canon One Piece Stampede movie where they (split again) accompany Wapol.

Alabasta

Jaya

An island that was once skull-shaped and populated by Shandians until the Knock-Up Stream sent part of it to the clouds. In the current day, the island is home to the hedonistic pirate harbor Mocktown, where dreams are mocked and the only things of value are materialistic wealth and strength.

Saruyama Alliance (Monkey Mountain Allied Force)

In General

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/saruyama_alliance.png

A small alliance composed by two pirate crews and a former pirate, Montblanc Cricket, the descendant of the legendary seafarer Montblanc Noland, whose supposed "lie" about an island full of gold led to his execution by his king and the continuous shaming of his descendants. 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.

After Eneru's defeat, the sound of the bell heard on the island proves that Noland was saying the truth.

Ascended Fanboy: Masira and Shoujou who were fans of the Noland tale. So helping his descendant was a dream come true
Berserk Button: Masira at first is quite friendly towards Luffy and co, but goes (literally) apeshit when he finds out that they were already looting the sunken ship they were on.
Charles Atlas Superpower: Masira is strong enough to one shot a sea monster with one blow.
Combat Pragmatist: After going melee on Sanji and having his punch blocked, he swiftly pulls out a pistol and shoots.
Curb-Stomp Battle: When attacked by Bellamy's crew they stomps them with ease, but receive a particularly painful beatdown from Bellamy himself, who is too fast for them.
Gonk: Masira and Shoujou both look more like apes than they look like humans. However, they enjoy looking like that.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: All of them, though Montblanc Cricket stands out.
Made of Iron: All of them took an absolute ass-kicking courtesy of the Bellamy Pirates, but as soon as they were bandaged up, they started working on the Going Merry again. Usopp lampshaded this.
Make Me Wanna Shout: Shoujou can use his voice as a sonar and can wreak havoc on the surroundings with his sound waves.
Muscles Are Meaningless: 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.
Small Name, Big Ego: 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.
Taking the Bullet: Masira shields Cricket from Sarquiss' Big Chop attack.
Visual Pun: 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.

Mont Blanc Cricket

Voiced by: Takashi Taniguchi, Naoya Uchida (Episode of Sky Island) (JP), George Manley (EN), Jorge Bardillo (Netflix LatAm)

Age: 41 (Pre-Timeskip), 43 (Post-Timeskip)

Debut: Chapter 227 (Manga), Episode 148 (Anime)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/213810.jpg

A lonely man who lives in a small home in Jaya. He's the descendant of Mont Blanc Noland, who is famous in the North Blue for being considered a great liar.

The Atoner: The Mont Blanc's family has been mocked by everyone because of their ancestor, Mont Blanc Noland, who is believed to have been a big liar and there's even a tale about him. 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.
Badass Normal: Even though he hasn't eaten a devil fruit, Cricket is a very strong fighter.
Bare-Fisted Monk: Cricket fights using a martial art similar to the Monkey Kung Fu, going with the Saruyama Alliance's monkey theme.
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.
Hereditary Hairstyle: Exaggerated. As an indicator of being related to Noland, who lived centuries ago, Cricket has the same chestnut-shaped hair as his ancestor.
Like a Son to Me: 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.
Retired Badass: 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.
Visual Pun: The chestnut on his head is a nod to the Montblanc cake, a french sweet made with chestnuts.

Bellamy Pirates

In General

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/drapeau_equipage_bellamy_la_hyene.jpg

A crew of "new age" pirates who no longer believe in dreams and adventures, but only in loot and gold. They were once part of the Warlord Doflamingo's crew.

All There in the Manual: A databook later revealed the other members' names.
Bus Crash: It's implied that the rest of the crew, besides Bellamy, 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...
Childhood Friends: They grew up together according to a Vivre Card Databook.
Curb-Stomp Battle: They utterly destroy the poor members of the Saruyama Alliance, although it was Bellamy who does most of the work.
Delinquents: Essentially a pirate variant, being young, shallow, and arrogant bullies who left their prosperous, safe hometown because they found it boring.
Inconsistent Spelling: Sarquiss, Sarkees, etc...
Jerkass: Every single pirate in the crew are assholes just like their captain.
Mugging the Monster: They mock the Straw Hats, call them weak and pathetic, and even rob their new friends. Big mistake on that last one.
Red Baron: Bellamy The Hyena and Big Knife Sarquiss.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: The new recruits at Jaya decide to abandon the group after Luffy defeats their captain Bellamy.
Smug Snake: All of them think way too highly of themselves for their own good.
Stupid Evil: 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.
What Happened to the Mouse?: 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.

Bellamy "The Hyena"

Voiced by: Wataru Takagi (JP), Andrew Rannells (EN, 4Kids), Justin Cook (EN, Funi), Luis Navarro (Netflix LatAm)

Age: 25 (Pre-Timeskip), 27 (Post-Timeskip)

Debut: Chapter 222 (Manga), Episode 146 (Anime)

Devil Fruit: Spring-Spring Fruit

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bellamy_anime.png

"The Lost city of Gold!? The Emerald city!? The great Treasure of "One Piece"!? The fools who go looking for their "dream treasure" cannot notice what's in front of them! In this era of the sea, the ones that do not have real strength... are the ones that are killed by their own imaginations!"

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 Bouncing Battler with incredible jumping power.

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.

His first bounty was 55,000,000 Berries. Post-Timeskip, it has risen to 195,000,000 Berries.

All for Nothing: 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. 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.
Anti-Villain: Much like Gin early in the series, despite realizing that his boss cares nil about him, Bellamy remains loyal to Doflamingo throughout the entirety of the Dressosa arc. It's only after Doflamingo's defeat that Bellamy finally undergoes a full Heel–Face Turn. Note that in his first appearance, he's a full-blown villain.
Arbitrary Skepticism: 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. 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.
Arc Villain: 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.
Bouncing Battler: 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.
Break the Haughty: After Luffy takes him out in one punch, 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.
Broken Pedestal: 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 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.
Broken Tears: 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.
Bullying a Dragon: 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, Bellamy soon finds out that Luffy's bounty wasn't a fluke.
The Bus Came Back: 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.
Can't Catch Up: 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.
Card-Carrying Villain: "You're mad that I stole gold from that old timer? I'm a pirate!"
Cerebus Call-Back: 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.
Character Development: He goes from a complete Jerkass to a nicer and less arrogant person after the Time Skip.
Combat Pragmatist: He often uses underhanded tactics and intimidation to win his fights instead of fighting fairly. 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.
Cool Shades: He wears a pair after the Time Skip, but only briefly.
Curb-Stomp Battle: 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.
- 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; once he leaves him with no choice, however...
Death Seeker: 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.
Defeat Equals Friendship: He ends up becoming one of Luffy's friends by the end of the Dressrosa arc.
Don't You Dare Pity Me!: 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.
Earn Your Happy Ending: After Luffy turns him into a better person and his idol Doflamingo physically and mentally abuses by him during the events of Dressossa, he peacefully retires to become a dyed goods craftsman.
Enhanced Punch: 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.
Establishing Character Moment: 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... over a game of poker which Bellamy states he cheated. Worse yet, Roshio didn't even cheat in the first place.
Facepalm of Doom: The first thing he's shown doing in his appearance at Dressrosa is crushing a man's skull with his hand.
Foil: Curiously enough, to 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.
Glass Cannon: He's capable of hitting like a truck thanks to his spring powers, but as shown in his fight against Luffy, he can't take much punishment.
Good Eyes, Evil Eyes: As a huge Jerkass and as the Arc Villain of the Jaya Arc, he noticeably has much larger, rounder eyes than the protagonists do.
Good Scars, Evil Scars: He first appeared with a scar above his right eye, adding to the already sinister look of his eyes and helping reflect his cruelty. He has two more scars on both sides of his face Post-Timeskip, either gotten from his battle against Luffy or after Doflamingo forces Sarquiss to attack him with his knife.
Heel–Face Door-Slam:
- He's set up for a Heel–Face Turn throughout the Dressrosa Arc, but then Defied during the final battle. After Doflamingo beats him to near death, mocks him, and 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 Magnetic Hero tendencies doesn't work.
- 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.
Heel–Face Turn: After refusing to betray Doflamingo even after Doffy personally beats and mocks him, Bellamy does make an actual Heel–Face Turn 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.
Honor Before Reason: 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.
The Hyena: He's well known enough for his constant mocking laugh for his epithet to be "The Hyena". He's not so much of one Post-Timeskip, as he's wised up quite a bit.
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.
- He mellows out considerably after the Time Skip, to the point where he no longer mocks Luffy but instead respects him as an individual.
Ki Manipulation: He's shown to be capable of using Armament Haki Post-Timeskip.
Laser-Guided Karma: 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.
Maniac Tongue: 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.
Meaningful Echo: He screams "So long, Straw Hat!" before Luffy oneshots him in both of their fights. In Jaya, he says it as a mocking Pre-Mortem One-Liner before he tries to kill Luffy. In Dressrosa, it's implied to be a genuine goodbye to Luffy before he attempts Suicide by Cop at his hands.
Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: 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.
Mugging the Monster: 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.
My Master, Right or Wrong: 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.
No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Bellamy is a rather violent thug since he brutally beats up his victims without much restraint. It seems Bellamy has become even more brutal Post-Timeskip because he uses his spring abilities to break Abdullah and Jeet's spines.
- He's also on the receiving end of one twice in Dressrosa, once by Dellinger and another time by Doflamingo himself.
No-Respect Guy: Of the Donquixote Pirates, especially after the timeskip. Despite being a tough fighter with a very useful Devil Fruit power 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.
Overshadowed by Awesome: After the Time Skip, 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 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.
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Bellamy tries giving one to Luffy before their fight. Fat lot of good that does for him. Here's the Japanese version of his speech:
Bellamy: Those guys are your FRIENDS!? [laughs] Oh I see. That old man and his monkeys are the same species as you! A pack of idiots who believe the lies of some 400-year-old ancestor! What City of Gold? What Sky Island? THE ERA OF DREAMS IS OVER! YOU'RE A DISGRACE OF A PIRATE!
- And here's the Funimation version:
Bellamy: So you want the gold back, huh? Because Old Man Cricket's your friend? WAKE UP! He's nothing but a decrepit fool who spends all his time chasing after a 400 year old lie! But that's probably what you like about him, right? You like to call yourselves pirates, but you know nothing! There's no City of Gold! No island in the sky! Just oceans and ships and the men who sail them!
Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids!: One of the reasons he hates Luffy is for his belief in dreams and the existence of an island in the sky, 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.
Small Name, Big Ego: Fifty-five million Berries isn't worth much for a bounty, even prior to the Time Skip, 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. After the Time Skip, he gets over his ego and becomes much more likable, to the point that he and Luffy actually respect each other.
Smug Snake: 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, which does not end well for him. After the timeskip, he at least seems to be less of an arrogant dick due to him actually respecting Luffy instead of mocking him.
Spring Coil: His Devil Fruit allows him to turn his legs into springs. Later, Post-Timeskip, he shows the ability to turn his arms into springs as well.
Suicide by Cop: 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.
There Is No Kill Like Overkill: His Establishing Character Moment 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 spring powers to crush Roshio to death.
Too Dumb to Live:
- 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 screams 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.
- 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 Paper-Thin Disguise. 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 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.
Took a Level in Badass: Amazingly, he did. For one, his bounty has more than tripled since his encounter with Luffy. He's also shows proficiency in Armament Haki over the Time Skip. 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.
Took a Level in Kindness: He's still not a Nice Guy by any stretch of the imagination, but considering he's now showing open displays of respect and seems sad about his orders to kill Luffy, he's definitely not the asshole he was before.
Troll: 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.
Underestimating Badassery: 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, a statement that would become true when Luffy defeats Doflamingo in the Dressrosa Arc.
Undying Loyalty: Deconstructed. Much like Gin, Bellamy devotes himself to a man who is unworthy of his loyalty. Unlike Gin, his principles and his pride prevent him from turning against the idol he has respected and admired for so long, in spite of how terribly treated he is.
Virtue Is Weakness: 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. 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.
Vocal Evolution: In the English dub, his voice is considerbly deeper when he shows up in Dressrosa. Fans thought he was recast, but when he calls his attacks, his higher pitch can be heard.
Walking 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.
The Worf Effect: In Dressrosa, he's built up as a serious threat, actually defeating some gladiators, only for both Elizabello's King Punch and Bartolomeo's Barrier-Barrier Fruit to KO him.
Worthy Opponent: 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.
You Have Failed Me: A non-lethal example. Doflamingo doesn't take the news of Bellamy's defeat against Luffy well and punishes him by both making his first mate Sarquiss stab him and by dismissing Bellamy's crew from being affiliated with the Donquixote Pirates. He gets back into Doflamingo's crew later by giving him a golden pillar from Skypeia.
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: 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.

The first mate of the Bellamy Pirates who uses a big knife in combat. He has a very similar personality to his captain and antagonizes the Straw Hats on Jaya. Later, he has his face smashed into the ground by Blackbeard after picking a fight with him.

He has a bounty of 38,000,000 Berries.

Long Ring Long Land

A ring shaped island with ten mountains spaced evenly across throughout the ring. 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.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tonjit_anime.png

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.

Berserk Button: 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.
Cloud Cuckoolander: 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.
Cool Horse: Shelly, his extremely loyal steed, who waited for him for ten years.
Miniature Senior Citizen: He only reaches around Luffy's stomach in height.
Too Dumb to Live: 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.

Foxy Pirates

In General

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bandera_foxy.jpg

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.

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.

Affably Evil: 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.
As Lethal as It Needs to Be: One of the filler Fish-man members has large curved blades coming out of his arms. Despite their nasty look, they're actually blunt.
Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Big Pan is a Wotan (half giant, half Fish-man hybrid), and is very large (not as big a real giant though).
Beast Man: Chiqicheetah, who probably ate the Cat-Cat Fruit Model Cheetah.
Co-Dragons: Porche and Hamburg are Foxy's trusty right-hand people.
Combat Pragmatist: These guys absolutely refuse to play by the rules. Expect them to rig the competition in any way they can.
Fanservice Extra: 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 to distract the men of the opposing crew during the Davy Back Fights so they waste time or mess up.
Gag Nose: Justified with Capote, a swordfish Fish-man.
Goldfish Poop Gang: 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 "Adventure of Nebulandia".
Making a Splash: Capote can use Fish-man Karate to send a massive tidal shock wave at an enemy vessel.
Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Juubei the squid Fish-man, whose limbs and neck are also very elastic.
Non-Human Humanoid Hybrid: Big Pan is part giant and part Fish-man.
Not-So-Harmless Villain: 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. Given the crew's enormous size, Foxy's continuous Davy Back Fights could've ruined these crews (barring unless all of them joined up.)
Oddly Small Organization: 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.
Punny Name: Hamburg, Pickles, and Big Pan. Also Juubei (juu means Ten, and he has ten arms.)
Sorting Algorithm of Evil: 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 Zoro and Sanji quit messing around and actually worked together they destroy the Groggy Monsters, and Luffy was immune to Eneru's powers due to being a Rubber Man while Foxy's powers pretty much inconvenienced him, on top of his dirty tactics.
Team Pet: Monda the Star Shark is their pet shark.
Terrible Trio:
- At least in the anime, Foxy and his Co-Dragons Porche and Hamburg.
- The "Groggy Monsters", consisting of Hamburg, Pickles and Big Pan for playing the Groggy Ring matches.
The Starscream: Kiba, The former Captain of the Fanged Toad pirates, attempts to take over the Foxy Pirates in an anime filler arc.
Wacky Wayside Tribe: 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.
Whip of Dominance: 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.

Foxy "The Silver Fox"

Voiced by: Bin Shimada (JP), Jonathan Brooks (EN), Igor Cruz (Stampede LatAm), Bardo Miranda (Netflix LatAm)

Age: 36 (Pre-Timeskip), 38 (Post-Timeskip)

Debut: Chapter 305 (Manga), Episode 207 (Anime)

Devil Fruit: Slow-Slow Fruit

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/foxy_anime.png

"We, the Foxy Pirates, challenge you, the Straw Hat Pirates, to a Davy Back Fight!"

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 True Companions. Althought not very combat prone, Foxy is a very scheming and cunning man (which is kind of hard to believe of him, at a glance), making use of different kinds of weapons, disguises, and items, together with his Devil Fruit powers of the Slow-Slow Fruit (Noro Noro no Mi), which allows him to slow everything his beams touch for 30 seconds.

His bounty is 24,000,000 Berries.

Accent Adaptation: He has an Italian accent in the Funimation dub provided by Jonathan Brooks. It's because his appearance looks a lot like Count Chocula.
Affably Evil: Unlike most of his predecessors, he honestly cares for his crew, gets upset easily, and doesn't Kick the Dog, at least not ones that are played seriously. The only evil thing about him is that he's a Dirty Coward and that he takes away members from other crews.
Animal Motifs: Take one guess. It's as subtle as a brick to the face.
Arc Villain: Oda admits he's the only canon Filler Villain so far as his presence has no lasting influence on the story.
Charles Atlas Superpower: 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 Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs blow-for-blow (if nothing else, it's visually very impressive, since most other Arc Villains usually either dodge it or tank it).
- 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.
Cheshire Cat Grin: Befitting of his nickname, he has a fox-like grin whenever he's smug.
Combat Pragmatist: Will gladly use any trickery he can think of to win a fight.
Delayed Causality: A victim slowed down by his Devil Fruit power won't immediately feel the impact of his Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs. 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.
Enemy Mine: Teams up with the Straw Hats in Adventures of Nebulandia against Marine Tactician Komei.
Energy Ring Attack: Foxy's Noro Noro Beam takes the form of a purple light beam surrounded by white rings.
Even Evil Has Standards: 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.
Evil Laugh: Fehfehfehfeh.
Expy: Pretty much an extrapolation of what would happen if Boyakky from Yatterman were in charge of the Terrible Trio instead of an underling. The nose is a dead giveaway, to say nothing of his Giant Mecha.
- He also looks similar to Le Nabot, one of two Evil Duo from the Il Était Une Fois... 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.
Explaining Your Power to the Enemy: 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.
A Father to His Men: 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 chewing out Kiba as nothing more than a bully.
- In "Adventure of Nebulandia", he literally gets down on his knees and begs Luffy to let him tag along to rescue his own kidnapped crewmates.
Filler Villain: 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.
Gag Nose: He has a long red nose to go with his already goofy face.
Giant Mecha: The Gorilla Puncher #13; the anime version has several more, such as the dodgeball cannon "Bull's Eye-kun".
Gonk: He's portly, has a Gag Nose and a Cheshire Cat Grin, a far cry from Eneru, but much less insane. Just don't tell him this to his face.
Heart Is an Awesome Power: 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.
Hidden Depths: 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.
- 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.
- 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 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.
Hoist by His Own Petard: Luffy reflects his Slow-Slow Beam at him, then knocks him into the water while he's helpless.
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 unless he's thoroughly rigged the match beforehand.
- 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.
Loophole Abuse: 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.
Minor Insult Meltdown: Always drops to his knees in shame if he hears so much as one insult thrown his way. Luckily, equally offhanded praise will get him back up immediately. 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.
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: 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.
Not-So-Harmless Villain: 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.
No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Thanks to his 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.
Paper-Thin Disguise: One of his many techniques is known as the "Foxy Face Transformation", referencing the shapeshifting abilities that mythological 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.
Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs: Even without the Slow-Slow Beam, his "Megaton Kyuubi Rush" technique can match Luffy's "Gomu Gomu Gatling" blow-for-blow.
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: 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.
Sore Loser: 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.
Time Stands Still: 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.
Ungrateful Bastard: 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).
Weak, but Skilled: 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.

Debut: Chapter 305 (Manga), Episode 207 (Anime)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/porche_anime.png

One of Foxy's first crewmates and a member of the Foxy Pirates, she is an idol to the men of the crew and worshipped by them all.

Abhorrent Admirer: Toward Chopper, though this is (hopefully) a purely platonic thing - she just wants to cuddle him all day.
Big Eater: "Adventure of Nebulandia" implies that she's the "improbably slender" variety; when the first match of the Davy Back Fight is an Eating Contest, 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.
Brainless Beauty: Porche is quite pretty, but also very air-headed.
Gag Nose: A rare example that does not make the character unattractive, she has a pointy but cute nose.
Ms. Fanservice: Porche has long teal hair and large breasts. Add to that the fact that she's seen with Navel-Deep Neckline most of the time, and once with a bikini. However, there are lots of other pretty women in Foxy's crew; it's just they don't get nearly as much screentime as Porche.
Navel-Deep Neckline: Porche's jacket is always open to her waist.
Something about a Rose: Reflecting her Girly Girl personality, her baton can throw flurries of rose-shaped shuriken. In the anime, it can also produce a traditional bouquet... that sprays Knockout Gas.

Sabaody Archipelago

The last stop in Paradise for all travelers, pirates and civilians alike, located in the shadow of Mariejois and the Red Line, and nearby the former Marine headquarters Marineford. 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. In particular, slavery still exists as a practice here despite being banned by the World Government.

Shakuyaku

Age: 62 (Pre-Timeskip), 64 (Post-Timeskip)

Debut: Chapter 498 (Manga), Episode 392 (Anime)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shakky_anime.png

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 highly exorbitant prices on anything you purchase there. Those who don't take the pub name very seriously are dealt with accordingly. Other than business, she somewhat obsessively reads newspapers to garner information about current affairs which already gives her a 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.

She herself was once a pirate, and was chased by Vice-Admiral Garp, but 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 All There in the Manual). 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.

Cool Old Lady: Although she really doesn't look that old, she's an experienced woman who gives the Straw Hats many useful advice.
Foreshadowing: 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.
Happily Married: Supplemental material reveals that Shakky is married with Raylegh, although they don't appear to live together, they interact a lot.
Last-Name Basis: She calls Luffy "Monkey-chan", which makes her the only character to address him by his surname.
Mellow Fellow: Is a very relaxed and friendly woman and rarely drops her nice behavior.
Ms. Exposition: Shakky reads a lot of papers and, when the Straw Hats arrive at Sabaody, she informs Luffy about the other Supernovas.
Mysterious Past: 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 and was a former Empress of Amazon Lily two generations ago.
Older Than They Look: 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!
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: 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.
Retired Badass: In the past, she was chased by "Garp the Hero" 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.
Shipper on Deck: Correctly guessed that Hancock would fall for Luffy for being such a Nice Guy and for the most part is supportive of her feelings for him. 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.
Smoking Is Cool: She's one of the rare women in the show who smokes, and she definitely isn't a woman to be trifled with.
Stronger Than They Look: Despite looking like an average woman, in her introduction she beats three large men to a bloody pulp with her bare hands with ease. 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.

^{Click here to see his new face}

"Did somebody say...'handsome'?"

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 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.

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 Time Skip, 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.

Accent Slip-Up: When angered, Duval lapses back into his native accent (a Tohoku dialect in Japanese, a Southern drawl in English, and what seems like a Scanian accent in Swedish.). His Riders all know that's a sign that he's ready to snap.
Asshole Victim: 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.
Badass Normal: Despite being completely 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.
Bait-and-Switch: 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.
Berserk Button: 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 his accent. That was all sorted out though when Sanji helped him out.
Big Bad Wannabe: Before his Heel–Face Turn, 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.
Camp Straight: Don't let his eccentric and narcissistic behavior fool you, he's not gay. He only started acting like this after Sanji's operation.
Casanova Wannabe: At becoming a Bishōnen, 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.
Curbstomp Battle: Sanji destroys him with a single attack. To his credit, Sanji's attack was powered up by seething rage.
Disc-One Final Boss: He's only the antagonist for the first half of the Sabaody Archipelago arc before becoming an extremely helpful guide for the second half.
Doppelgänger: Unwittingly, to Sanji. 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). Now that Sanji fixed Duval's face, he ends up revoking that protection.
A Father to His Men: His crew is very loyal to him, and he doesn't mistreat them in any way. Before and after his Heel–Face Turn.
From Nobody to Nightmare: Sorta. He was a small-time hood who became a notorious slave ringer.
Gonk: At first. His face prior to Sanji's face-fixing could be described as, "What if Sanji was born Gonk-looking?"
Heel–Face Turn: 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.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Post-facial reconstruction, he's a friendly and helpful guy, but also a raging narcissist who is often extremely annoying to be around.
Large and in Charge: Duval is over 15 feet tall, dwarfing even his lookalike Sanji, and is easy to spot among his underlings.
Magic Plastic Surgery: Received one courtesy of Sanji. He is very pleased with the results.
Malevolent Masked Man: Wore an iron mask to hide his face from the Marines and bounty hunters. During this time, he was also a ruthless slave trader.
Man in the Iron Mask: Initially. He ditches the mask after his face is fixed.
Mistaken Identity: 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.
Narcissist: Nowadays, he is. He's taken to call himself "Handsome", and injecting his new name in his sentences.
Overshadowed by Awesome: 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.
Paper Tiger: 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 leveled up so much that they barely broke a sweat with this guy.
The Reveal: 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. This undergoes a Cerebus Retcon 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.
Undying Loyalty: 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.
You Shall Not Pass!: Spends the timeskip protecting the Thousand Sunny with the rest of the crew.

Fake Straw Hat Crew

In General

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.

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.

All There in the Manual: 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.
Buried Alive: Caribou buries the fakes Zoro, Nami, Sniper King, Sanji, and Franky without even killing them.
Butt-Monkey: They're all hardly threatening, such that they're even made into jokes.
Casting Gag: All of them are played by the same voice actors as the Straw Hat pirates, just with their respective voice actors changed around.^note It's meant to highlight their being total phonies.
Cowardly Lion: The fake Sniper King has some shred of bravery, as he tries to save the fake Sanji from being suffocated by Caribou.
Criminal Doppelgänger: They're posing as the Straw Hats. This extends to a Casting Gag in the anime, with the Straw Hats' VAs being mixed around and providing voices for the Fakes. For example Hiroaki Hirata and Eric Vale (Sanji) voice Demalo Black in Japanese and English respectively.
Didn't Think This Through: 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.
Dirty Coward: The moment there's trouble, such as the moment their con is exposed, they immediately lose their cool and run away.
Failed a Spot Check: 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.
Fake Identity Baggage: 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. In the end, their charade is exposed after Sentomaru easily defeats Black.
Fat Bastard: The fake Luffy, Zoro, Sniper King, and Doughty are all fat and all pirates and frauds.
Flat Character: Albion & Doughty don't have much Sniper King in the way of screen time or lines.
Gag Lips: Lip Doughty is famous in-universe for his large lips, hence his name.
Gone Horribly Wrong: 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.
Gonk: To make them even more obvious as fakes, they're all ugly and extrmely goofy looking compared to the original Straw Hats.
Irony:
- 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 looks nothing like him.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Kick the Dog: Black is an utter prick, shooting people when he wants with no regret. Caribou & Coribou are even worse.
Mugging the Monster: You would think the impostors would know what the people they are impersonating look like.
Oh, Crap!: Several...one satisfying reaction from them is when they saw the Marines after their ass.
Paper-Thin Disguise:
- They are middle-aged and extremely ugly trying to pass off as teenagers and young adults.
- Chopper is a reindeer while fake Chopper is a fox.
Red Shirt: Many of them, especially Lip Doughty and Albion, have little screen time and are dispatched quickly.
Smug Snake: 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.
The Starscream: Caribou and Coribou only join so they can kill the Straw Hats on the inside for fame.
Too Dumb to Live: Oh yeah, passing yourself off as a legendary pirate crew to recruit Ax-Crazy pirates and letting them do your dirty work isn't going to backfire at all.

"Three-Tongued" Demalo Black

Voiced by: Hiroaki Hirata (JP), Eric Vale (EN)

Age: 36

Debut: Chapter 598 (Manga), Episode 517 (Anime)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/demalo_black_anime.png

"Hey big guy! Don't you know who you're talking to!?!"

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.

His bounty is 26,000,000 Berries.

Arc Villain: He's the main villain of the Return to Sabaody arc.
Beard of Evil: Has prominent stubble along his jaw, to contrast Luffy, who's never has so much as peach fuzz on his chin.
Big Bad Wannabe: 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 Curb-Stomp Battle proves that statement true.
Bullying a Dragon: 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.
Butt-Monkey: Manages to humiliate himself in all of his appearances, which is impressive for a guy that got about 4 chapters of screen time.
Curb-Stomp Battle: 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.
Didn't Think This Through: 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.
Dirty Coward: 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.
Entitled Bastard: He seems to think that with Luffy's rep, he can get away with anything.
Evil Counterpart: 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 Idiot Hero who has Undying Loyalty to his pirate crew, is a Devil Fruit user and Big Eater 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.
Evil Laugh: His Signature Laugh, "Dohaha."
Fat Bastard: 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.
Fat Idiot: 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 personality to match) into doing his dirty work. Does this sound like a good idea to you? He is also overweight.
Flunky Boss: He was aiming to be one, but did not succeed. In some ways, he was a weaker & unlucky Buggy.
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.
Hate Sink: 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.
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.
Meaningful Name: "Three-Tongued" is a old British term for someone who lies to multiple people at once.
Mugging the Monster: He manages to briefly antagonize Usopp, Nami, and Luffy himself thanks to Recognition Failure; and, as you would expect, ends up getting beat up/knocked unconscious for his troubles.
Non-Action Big Bad: 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.
Oh, Crap!: 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.
Paper-Thin Disguise: He might pass on a general description of Luffy, but even then pirate bounty posters include pictures so...
Small Name, Big Ego: 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.
Smug Snake: 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.
Starter Villain: The very first after the Time Skip. Also quite a pathetic one (even Captain Morgan briefly put up a fight).

Caribou Pirates

"Wet-Haired" Caribou

Voiced by: Masaki Terasoma (JP), Andrew Kasten (EN)

Age: 32

Debut: Chapter 600 (Manga), Episode 519 (Anime)

Devil Fruit: Swamp-Swamp Fruit

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/caribou_anime.png

"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!"

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".

Ascended Fanboy: 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.
Ax-Crazy: 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.
Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work: In Caribou's cover arc, "Caribou's Kehihihihi in the New World" 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.
Bad Liar: 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 Chopper, much to Usopp's disbelief.
Big Bad Ensemble: 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.
Big Bad Wannabe: 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.
Blob Monster: Caribou's Logia-class swamp Devil Fruit allows him to turn into one.
Body Horror: Examples found in Chapter 650. The first one is most terror-worthy, but even in the second... bodies should not be like that!
Buried Alive: One of Caribou's favorite ways to kill someone. 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).
The Bus Came Back: After his defeat at the end of the Fish-Man Island arc and his own mini-cover story, he appears in the Wano arc as a prisoner in the same jail now housing Kidd and Luffy.
Butt-Monkey: 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.
Chest Blaster: Caribou keeps a gatling gun hidden inside his body, which pops out of his stomach when he needs to fire it.
Combat Pragmatist: 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", 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.
Curb-Stomp Battle: 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.
Dishing Out Dirt: Caribou's Devil Fruit allows him to control and transform into mud.
Easily Forgiven: 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.
Enemy Mine: He is forced to ally with the Straw Hats in Wano, as it is his best best chance to escape being enslaved by Kaido.
Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: In Caribou's cover arc Caribou's Kehihihihi in the New World, it's shown that they were raised by their grandma which may became a reason why Caribou went back to save Gaburu's grandmother.
Evil Laugh: "Kehihihi" for Caribou. It's even the name of his cover arc!
Eviler than Thou: To Demalo Black's crew. He defeats all of them alone, though that's not so impressive.
Fanboy: 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.
Gonk: Both him and his brother are hideously ugly, not to mention freaky-looking, but especially Caribou to frightening levels.
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, 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.
Hyperspace Arsenal: Per the above. Caribou has a spear, a pistol, a scythe, and a gatling gun stuffed inside him.
Hiding Behind Religion: Implied; Caribou begs God to forgive the Marine that tried to shoot him, and then has him Buried Alive as punishment for said Marine's "sins."
Humiliation Conga: Caribou's entire cover story arc so far is this. Jimbei serves him humiliation pie each cover.
- It started even earlier than that. 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.
- 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.
- Seems to have been broken after he fights off some of Kaido's subordinates, showing he really did earn that bounty.
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 and the fake Straw Hats. The conversation took place after a foiled attempt to massacre the Straw Hats, which Franky points out.
Identical Stranger: Caribou happens to look a lot like Gaburu, a commander in the Revolutionary Army who is long dead before he arrived. His face says it all.
Jerkass: Comedic humiliations aside, Caribou is a rather unpleasant individual. After being saved by Gaburu's grandmother, he seems to have become genuinely attached to her, saving her from Kaido's subordinates.
Lethal Joke Character: 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.
Mistaken Identity: 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. He later uses it to his advantage to rally the people and defeat Scotch, which turns into a Dead Person Impersonation as the old lady Caribou saved is seen at the end praying at the real Gaburu's grave.
Nightmare Face: Caribou. Looks even more unsettling in the anime.
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: 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 Drake caught him.
Not-So-Harmless Villain:
- 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.
- He has the tendency to eavesdrop on conversations. Due to this and after the events of Wano, he knows the whereabouts of two of three Ancient Weapons (Poseidon and 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.
Novelty Decay: 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 Time Skip, he serves as an example of why a Devil Fruit alone isn't good enough.
Oh, Crap!: Caribou, twice.
- 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.
- He had another one later when Luffy caught him red-handed trying to kidnap Shirahoshi.
Person of Mass Destruction: 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.
Politically Incorrect Villain: 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.
Pragmatic Villainy: A few times, he helps out Luffy in his time of need, if only because his own survival is at stake too.
- 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.
- 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.
Psycho for Hire: For the Impostor Straw Hats, before he defected.
Scary Black Man: 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 deformed face and bright green eyes and whatnot.
Sealed Evil in a Can: It's not very wise to open an unknown barrel with SUPER security seals. Poor mermaids.
Serial Killer: Caribou earned a reputation for killing Marines and burying them alive.
Shovel Strike: Coribou seems to carry one around, but actually uses it to dig more than fight.
Sibling Team: Caribou and Coribou constantly work together, with the latter following whatever his "Bro-bro" tells him to do.
Sinister Scythe: Caribou has one hidden away inside his swamp form.
Slasher Smile: Caribou's default expression.
Soul-Saving Crusader: 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.
Small Name, Big Ego: 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.
Pekoms: (after kicking his ass) Logia users who think they're invincible have short lifespans.
Smug Snake: Caribou constantly has to reevaluate his plans, not because of Xanatos Speed Chess, 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.
The Starscream: Caribou only joined the Imposter Straw Hats so they could kill them on the inside for fame.
Swamps Are Evil: 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.
Ungrateful Bastard: Caribou, both times in his mini-arc.
- 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.
- 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. Then it's subverted as he later comes around to save her from one of Kaido's men.
Villainous Rescue: In Caribou's cover arc 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.
What You Are in the Dark: 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.
The Worf Effect: 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.
Yank the Dog's Chain: 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. 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.

"Blood-Splatterer" Coribou

Voiced by: Kohei Fukuhara (JP), Dalton Tindall (EN)

Age: 29

Debut: Chapter 600 (Manga), Episode 519 (Anime)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/coribou_anime.png

"Huh?! I wasn't listening! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Caribou's brother and co-captaion of the Caribou Pirates, "Blood Splatterer" Coribou has a bounty of 190,000,000. While Caribou is a bloodthirsty murderer, Coribou's a nervous, stuttering, and oblivious wreck.

Albinos Are Freaks: There's no indication that Coribou is an albino in the manga, but the anime makes his skin an ashen color that suggests he might have albinism.
Dumb Muscle: 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.
Easily Forgiven: 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.
Fat Bastard: Coribou's much more overweight than his brother.
Gatling Good: Unlike his brother, Coribou relies on a massive hand-cranked Gatling Gun to fight. Caribou uses this, too, keeping one in his chest as a surprise attack.
Gonk: Like his brother he's very unsightly.
Head Pet: Coribou seems to have an Iguana on his head for hair.
Perpetual Frowner: Coribou is always seen with a toothy frown, as shown in the folder image.
Red Baron: "Blood-Splatterer" Coribou.
Serial Killer: He and his brother became infamous for killing Marines and burying them alive.
Sibling Team: Works together with his brother Caribou, doing whatever "Bro-bro" tells him to do.
The Starscream: Like his brother they join the Imposter Straw Hats to kill them for the fame.
Why Won't You Die?: Coribou constantly gets left for dead or worse by Caribou, and somehow he manages to always come back to his Bro-bro; Crew and Ship and all. Crushed by a Kraken 1000 meters under the sea and drowning? Ship burnt by G-5 Marines and being horribly tortured? Don't worry, they're fine.

Lulusia Kingdom

In General

Lulusia Kingdom is one of the many nations allied with the World Government. Ace visits the kingdom to investigate rumors of Blackbeard being there. Later, after the Time Skip, the commanders of the Revolutionary Army save it from an attack by Peachbeard and give them an offer to join the Revolutionary Army.

Badass Bystander: Civilians in Lulusia defeat Peachbeard after Belo Betty gives them a Rousing Speech and a power boost.
The Coup: Lulusia is one of the kingdoms that rose up in rebellion following the Revolutionaries' attack on the Reverie. After having enough of their cruel royal family's regime, the people rise up and throw them in prison. Not that it did them much good in the end.
Cry into Chest: A nameless young girl cries into her father's chest before Imu erases the Lulusia Kingdom and kills them.
Death from Above: The island is completely obliterated by Imu.
Mistaken Identity: In his cover story, Ace attacks a doctor in Lulusia, mistakenly thinking that he's Blackbeard.
Recurring Extra: Lulusia Kingdom pops up a couple of times here and there, but it mostly just exists in the background since the Straw Hats never go there. What little attention it does get makes its obliteration all the more shocking.
Rule of Empathy: Regular civilians are shown reacting in confusion and fear before they die in the destruction of their island.
Un-person: Any record of its existence is wiped after Imu destroys the country.
Unseen Evil: The civilians in Lulusia see something fly overhead before they're obliterated by the Mother Flame.

King Seki

The King of Lulusia.

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: His daughter Princess Komane said he would pay any amount of money for a ransom to get her back.
Laser-Guided Karma: He is described as a cruel and tyrannical ruler he could be overthrown by his own people who grew tired of his cruel treatment.

Moda

Voiced by: Satomi Sato (JP), Marisa Duran (EN)

Debut: Chapter 278 (Manga), Episode 880 (Anime)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/moda.png

A milk maiden who saves Ace's life during his cover story. She reappears when Peachbeard and his crew attack Lulusia Kingdom.

Funbag Airbag: Falls onto Belo Betty's breasts after Peachbeard hits her.
The Golden Rule: She saves Ace when he's drowning in a river. He then repays the favor by bringing an advertisement for her family's milk business to the Marines.
Good Samaritan: She saves Ace after he's thrown into a river.
La Résistance: After getting encouraged by the Revolutionary Army's four commanders, and then later getting saved by Ace's brother Sabo from the Mother Flame, Moda and many other citizens are taken in by the Revolutionary Army and join their course.
Scullery Maid: She's a young milk-maid.
Talking the Monster to Death: Subverted. She attempts to talk Peachbeard down by saying that the civilians in Lulusia are barely making ends meet, but he doesn't care.
Vague Age: She looks like a little kid before the Time Skip and like a young woman about Nami's age after the time skip, even though only two years have passed. This raises the question whether she's in her early teens and finished puberty very early, or if she's in her late teens and hit puberty very late.

Others

"Marriage Proposal" Lola

Voiced by: Aya Hisakawa (JP), Alex Moore (EN), Andrea Soto (LatAm)

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

Debut: Chapter 476 (Manga), Episode 370 (Anime)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lola_anime.png

"If you ever run into any troubles, just ask my mama to help you out, ok? And tell her that I'm ok while you're at it!"

Lola is the captain of the Rolling Pirates. She is desperately seeking a love life and has proposed over 4,000 times. During her introduction, she and her crew were members of the Thriller Bark Victim's Association, a group of people whose shadows were taken from them by Gecko Moria, with her shadow placed inside a warthog zombie that shared the same name as her. She joined forces with the Straw Hats to get their shadows back. After the adventure on Thriller Bark, she gave her mother's Vivre Card to Nami.

Always Someone Better: It's revealed in Chapter 879 that despite her own skills, Pudding always saw Lola as the better chocolatier, which in turn made Lola the rightful holder of the position as Minister of Chocolatown, which had been left vacant for years after Lola ran away. She kept avoiding replacing her because she thought herself as unsuitable for the job, and hoped Lola would one day come back and become Minister again.
Arranged Marriage: Defied. She was set to marry the Prince of the giants, Loki, who was completely smitten, which would form a powerful alliance with the giants that would also help Lola's mother become more powerful, if not King of the Pirates. Lola wanted to find someone of her own choosing, so she ran away, angering Big Mom enough to want to kill her.
Black Sheep: Much of her family sees Lola as a traitor after she ran away from her Arranged Marriage, said anger is also transferred to her twin stister.
Blush Sticker: Has two red dots on her face, one on each cheek. A trait she shares with her twin sister.
Cain and Abel: Subverted with her twin sister Chiffon, who knows of Lola's naïveté and is worried about Big Mom going after her ever since Lola ran away from her Arranged Marriage, and has been plotting with Capone "Gang" Bege to kill her mother so her sister will be safe. However, it's played straight with her other siblings — while it appears to be a subversion when they are all shocked to find Luffy and Nami carrying Lola's Vivre Card and assume the worst happened, a few of them later appear to be completely fine with their mother's plan to kill her, with Lola's brother Opera preparing to torture Nami for Lola's current location had Jimbei not walked in.
Chekhov's Gun: 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 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.
Chekhov's Gunman: Her mother is said to be a powerful pirate, and is most-likely bound to play a big role later in the story. 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 Walking Spoiler.
Cool Big Sis: She was one to her younger sister, Pudding. She gave her 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.
Determinator: She's really dead-set on finding a husband who'll accept and love her. Fortunately, she can take rejection well. 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.
Dual Wielding: 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.
Engaging Conversation: 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.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: She's the "Loved One" in question, and played with. 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 Token Good Teammate.
Fallen Princess: 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.
Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: The foolish to 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.
Gag Lips: Has an oversized pair of red lips. She shares them with her mother, father, and twin sister.
Girlish Pigtails: Pretty much the way to recognize her as female (with... that kind of face) is her hair, which she styles into braids. Averted in Chapter 848 during Pudding's flashback, where she wore her hair in a short bob with a bow on her head.
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.
Gonky Femme: 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.
Horrible Judge of Character: 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, Big Mom, is very cruel, insane, and anything but helpful. Later lampshaded by her twin sister, who correctly figures that Lola is so "happy-go-lucky" that she probably doesn't even realize their mother hates her guts.
Identical Twin ID Tag: She has a twin Charlotte Chiffon with the same Gonky face. However, Lola has braided hair and has a tooth gap. Her twin has Girlish Pigtails and a bow in her hair similar to one Lola had before running away.
I Have No Son!: Lola's mother seems to have disowned her for running away from a crucial Arranged Marriage, and wants to have her killed for her disobedience.
Love Freak: See Marry for Love below.
Marry for Love: Her main goal, which is why she proposed to random people over 4,000 times. She hasn't succeeded yet, though, due to her Gonky face. It's later revealed that her desire for true love caused her to run away from 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.
Mass "Oh, Crap!": Participates in one during the Thriller Bark arc, as everyone watches Gekko Moriah unleashes "Shadow Asgard".
Naïve Everygirl: Romantic, innocent and clueless. The clueless bit comes from her still thinking that her mother wouldn't kill her after running away from the most important marriage she had ever arranged.
Not Good with Rejection: Averted. Despite having had proposed over 4,000 times, she's totally fine with being rejected. Her zombie, however, plays it straight.
Odd Name Out: The rest of the Charlotte family is named after sweets or musical acts. It helps cement her status as the White Sheep.
Plucky Girl: 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.
Rescue Romance: Because of her desire to find her true love, when she's saved by Gotti, Lola kisses him and asks him to marry her, much to his astonishment.
The Runaway: Lola's mother arranged for her to marry the giants' prince, Loki, which would ally 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.
Significant Name Overlap: 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.
Single Woman Seeks Good Man: 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 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.
Spanner in the Works: Chapter 847 reveals that Lola was supposed to marry 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 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 sends Opera, Lola's brother, to interrogate the captured Luffy and Nami for Lola's location so she can kill her.
- The Vivre Card she gave to Nami also allowed Nami to control Big Mom's homies to an extent.
Strong Family Resemblance: Lola inherited her ugliness, Gag Lips, 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.
Supreme Chef: 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. Pudding was expected to replace her sister as Minister after Lola ran away from a political marriage, but she always refused, seeing Lola as a better cook and a better Minister.
Teeth Flying: She has a tooth gap, presumably from her pirate life and the events of the Thriller Bark arc. Flashbacks reveal that all her teeth were still intact before she ran away.
The Unfavorite: Lola became this to her family and especially her mother after she ran away from an important Arranged Marriage with the giant prince, Loki. Her disobedience also caused her twin to be horrifically abused by Big Mom whenever the two crossed paths, just for being her identical twin sister. One of Lola's brothers is willing to 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 comments on, noting that she won't be able to come back home without people trying to kill her.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: 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.
White Sheep: 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 Black Sheep.
You Wouldn't Shoot Me: 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 set foot back in Totto Land without being assassinated.

Humandrills

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.

Instant Expert: 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.
Master Swordsman: 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.

Haredas

Voiced by: Rokurō Naya (JP), Jim White (EN)

Age: 95 (Pre-Timeskip), 97 (Post-Timeskip)

Debut: Chapter 523 (Manga), Episode 418 (Anime)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/haredas_anime.png

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.

Absent-Minded Professor: 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.
Blow You Away: He has a special piece of rope called a "Wind Knot".
Cool Old Guy: 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.
Extreme Doormat: He always lets Nami get away with abusing him. Probably because he knows he can't stop her.
Mentor Archetype: He becomes Nami's teacher over the timeskip, teaching her to harness his people's weather science.
Miniature Senior Citizens: 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.
- 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.
Punny Name: It basically translates to "bringing out clear skies".
Rain Aura: Its actually more of a Rain Sphere.
Robe and Wizard Hat: He looks like a stereotypical wizard right out of Hogwarts.
Verbal Tic: "Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi..."
Wizard Beard: He looks like a wizard (as does most Weatherians) and has a long white beard.

Heracles

Voiced by: Rintaro Nishi (JP), David Wilson-Brown (EN)

Age: 49 (Pre-Timeskip), 51 (Post-Timeskip)

Debut: Chapter 524 (Manga), Episode 420 (Anime)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heracles_anime.png

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.

24-Hour Armor: He is always seen wearing his armor.
Badass Cape: Underneath a beetle shell no less.
Cloud Cuckoolander: He has several quirks, such as his tendency to repeatedly introduce himself.
The Faceless: We never get to see what he looks like under that big helmet of his.
Green Thumb: He is an expert in the use of Pop Greens, seeds that grow to full sized plants in an instant.
Large Ham: I'M THE HERO OF THE FOREST, HERACLES-UN!
Lightning Bruiser: He's as fast and strong as he is large.
Meaningful Name: 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.
Mentor Archetype: Heracles is the only person Usopp meets in the Boin Arcipelago and he teaches him during the two year Time Skip in regards to how to use the Pop Greens as well as how to hone his combat skills and increase his self-confidence.
Testosterone Poisoning: He is always gabbing on about "manliness".
Utility Belt: Where he keeps his supply of Pop Greens.
Verbal Tic: He has a habit of putting "-un" at the end of sentences and people's names.
