The following is a list of minor characters in the manga and anime series One Piece:

Amazon

The elderly gatekeeper of Skypiea. She lets people in even if they can't pay her exorbitant toll, but purposely fails to tell those that don't pay about the consequences for entering the city.

Basil Hawkins

Basil Hawkins (バジル・ホーキンス, Bajiru Hōkinsu) is a high bounty pirate in the Shabondy Archipelago, with a bounty of 249,000,000 Beli. He is the captain of the Hawkins Pirates. He is known as "The Magician".

Doctor Blackbeard

A character in the Ace mini-story. Ace mistook him for Blackbeard and rammed him to the ground. When Ace saw his mistake he was thrown into the river by an angry Doctor Blackbeard and an angry cook that Ace did not pay.

Boodle

Boodle (ブードル, Būdoru) is the mayor of the town that was attacked by Buggy the Clown early on in the series. He wears a suit of armor, and is quite fearless, risking his life (though he is outmatched) for the sake of his town. With the help of Luffy, Zoro and Nami (assisted by the dog, Chouchou), Boodle is able to defeat Buggy's crew and drive them out of the town, even though he was knocked out by Luffy so he doesn't get in the way.

Other Media

Calico Yorki

The captain of the Rumbar pirates and Brook's former captain. His name was first inroduced in One Piece data books as was his crew. He shook hands with Crocus at Reverse Mountain and asked him to watch over Laboon. His bounty increased to an unknown amount after defeating a Navy ship. He died of a disease that the Rumbar pirate ship's doctor said was an unknown virus that he obtained in a forest the ship docked at. His last words to Brook were to carry on the promise of returning to Laboon.

His nickname Calico is probably a reference on the real life pirate Calico Jack.

Camie

Camie (ケイミー Keimii) is a mermaid that first appeared in the Hatchan's Sea-Floor Stroll mini-series. She is an aspiring fashion designer under the tutelage of her pet starfish Pappagg (パッパグ Pappagu). She first appears after being saved by Hatchan from inside the mouth of a big fish alongside with Pappagg. She soon becomes friends with Hatchan and is later rescued again by him after she is kidnapped by the Macro Gang, a group of fishman kidnappers and old friends of Hatchan. In the final part of the mini-series she was at the grand opening of his floating takoyaki restaurant. She is one of only two mermaids featured so far in the series, the other being Kokoro. Camie is unusually guileless, even for a mermaid: while Kokoro was able to foresee certain events and thus come to the Straw Hat Pirates' aid at several critical moments, Camie seems incapable of recognizing deceit or ulterior motives, falling into the same trap dozens of times without learning her lesson.

She recently met the Straw Hat Pirates when they arrived at the Red Line for the second time. There, she was revealed to be a Kissing gourami-mermaid. After leading the Straw Hats to save Hatchan from a combo of the Macro Pirates and the Flying Fish Riders, she currently is assisting them on the Shabondy Archipelago.

Capone "Gang" Bege

Capone "Gang" Bege (カポネ・"ギャング"ベッジ, Kapone Gangu Bejji) is a powerful pirate in the Shabondy Archipelago with a bounty of 138,000,000. He is the captain of the Firetank Pirates.

Carne

Carne is one of the main cooks from the floating restaurant ship, Baratie, and is good friends with Patty since both applied for restaurant cooks together. He and Patty became very essential in defending the Baratie when Don Krieg attempted to take the restaurant by force.

Like most of the Baratie's cooking staff, Carne prides himself on being a fighting chef; when the restaurant comes under attack by the Krieg armada, he and the other chefs take up arms to defend it. He fights with a large extended knife.

In the 4Kids dub, Carne is given a very heavy Mexican accent not unlike Cheech Marin.

Carne is an Italian, Spanish and Portuguese word for Meat.

Trivia

Chabo

A young boy from Gosa village, he wanted to kill Arlong to avenge his father's death, but Nami paid him and told him to leave. He attacked Usopp, thinking that Usopp was a fish-man (due to Usopp's long nose), but Nojiko stopped him. He later called the Navy to come rescue the survivors from Gosa but they were defeated by Arlong's crew. He brings Nojiko to the scene to see the Navy fight Arlong, but it is all in vain. However, after the fall of Arlong Park, he decides to forget about avenging his father himself and celebrates with the rest of Cocoyashi Village.

Chaka

Chaka (チャカ), also known as "Chaka the Jackal", is one of two head guards in the Alabasta kingdom that serve under Igaram, the other being Pell. He is the acting captain of the royal guard in Igaram's absence.

He ate the Inu Inu no Mi, Model Jackal (イヌイヌの実 モデル ジャッカル, Dog Dog Fruit: Model Jackal), a Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows him to transform into a jackal or a human/jackal hybrid. He attacked Sir Crocodile outside of the Alubarna palace — first because Crocodile's utter lack of compassion angered him and to protect the country, and then in an attempt to protect Vivi and Kohza, as well as buy them time to put an end to the battle — but Crocodile easily defeated him both times.

Chaka was seen again in Chapter 439/Episode 324; shocked to see Nico Robin (or to him Miss All Sunday) is part of the Straw Hats and was shocked again when Vivi was not surprised by this news.

Chaka appeared in One Piece: Grand Battle! 2 and in One Piece Grand Adventure as Vivi's support, he is ranked a Dash type with the ability similar to Gedatsu

Chimney

Chimney (チムニー, Chimunī) is the hyperactive granddaughter of Sea Train conductor Kokoro, and owner of the rabbit, Gonbe (a rabbit that thinks it's a cat). She takes a liking to the Straw Hat Pirates instantly when the crew meets her outside of Water Seven. Franky called her "shrimp". She also tends to notice things that others cannot, such as when she spotted Luffy wedged between two buildings (which is where he landed after Rob Lucci knocked him out of Galley-La Corporation Headquarters) or how she managed to find secret passageways in the Tower of Justice at Enies Lobby. She, along with Gonbe, later sneak aboard the prototype Sea Train, Rocketman, and accompany the Straw Hats, Franky Family, and Galley-La foremen to Enies Lobby. And later helped Luffy find the secret passageway that Spandam, Lucci and Robin took on the way to the Gate of Justice.

As Kokoro is revealed to be a mermaid, it is possible that Chimney, being her granddaughter, may have latent mermaid abilities of her own. Although Chimney doesn't seem to have any mermaid characteristics, she was able to save Luffy, who is 3 times her size, from drowning off screen while resisting what must have been an overwhelming current from the several whirlpools in the sea in front of the Gate of Justice.

Currently, she is in Water Seven. In the Volume 45 SBS, Oda revealed that Chimney is indeed 1/4 mermaid, and is thus an abnormally good swimmer.

Chou-Chou

  • Seiyuu: Chieko Otarashi
  • Voice Actor (4Kids):

Chou-Chou (シュシュ Shushu) is a dog from Port Town who guards a pet shop, day and night, unmoving, as it belonged to his dead master. But, still being loyal to his master, a friend of mayor Boodle, Chou-Chou kept guard over the pet shop.

When first meeting Monkey D. Luffy, Chou-Chou swallowed the key to cage Luffy was in at the time. Then Mohji and Richie appeared to search for Luffy, Zoro, and Nami. When Richie spotted the pet shop they headed for it to get a quick snack. Chou-Chou fought against Richie to defend the shop, but got beaten. In the end, he could only watch his master's pet shop burn to the ground.

Luffy, out of his cage thanks to Richie, saw how sad the dog was for the loss of his only treasure, and defeated Mohji and Richie as payback for Chou-Chou. After the battle, Luffy presented Chou-Chou with a bag of dog food, the last one from his master's shop. Chou-Chou later helps the trio escape from the angry townspeople after Luffy reveals that he was the one who knocked out the mayor, as well as a pirate. Chou-Chou is last spotted in Buggy's mini story in volume 5. Chou-Chou is shown biting Mohji on his rear end.

Other Media

Clover

A professor and scholar from the Tree of Knowledge in Ohara, he helped Nico Robin become an official archaeologist. However, he forbade her from studying Ohara's Poneglyph, not wanting her to fall prey to the World Government like her mother Olvia did. Sadly, it was not to be as the World Government found out about Ohara's research and dispatched the CP9 to take care of them. Clover tried to persuade Robin to escape as the CP9 rounded the archaeologists up. The reason for this is that Clover spoke to the World Government regarding the scholar's findings in the Poneglyphs. He did not want Robin to know those results, for fear that she will also be targeted by the World Government.

Clover stated that before the World Government was formed, the Grand Line was ruled by an ancient kingdom, but it was wiped out by a group that would one day become the World Government. However, before Clover could reveal the name, he was shot and mortally wounded. The Buster Call was then initiated and Navy ships began to assault Ohara. Clover, along with Olvia and the other scholars, stayed behind to save as many books as they can from the Tree of Knowledge for future generations. Afterwards, he and the scholars all stayed in the tree as it burned down around them, and as Ohara was destroyed.

His head resembles a three-leafed clover and even his hair and beard are slightly green.

Conis

Conis (コニス, Konisu) Conis is the first person to greet the Straw Hats once they reach Skypiea and introduces them to her peoples' ways and customs. At first glance, Sanji thinks that she is an angel and predictably tries to woo her. She becomes an important character in the Skypiea arc because of her interaction with the Straw Hat pirates. Once it is discovered that the crew has not paid Skypiea's exorbitant toll, however, she regretfully follows the mandatory commands from their "god" Enel, which has been placed upon all her people under pain of death. They were not fulfilled and obeyed, and she reports them as trespassers. After this while leading Luffy, Sanji, and Ussop to Upper Yard, Conis under the burden of her betrayal breaks down and tells them the truth. The trio becomes upset but for different reasons than she expected. Their concern is for Conis herself. This disloyalty to the god Enel is met with a wave of lightning from the heavens directed toward Conis. Luffy tries to save her but is caught in the middle of it too. Both barely escape with help from Gan Fall ‘knight of the sky.’

Conis later makes up for her actions, by guiding the Merry Go through Upper Yard, warning her people of Enel's attack, and helping the Straw Hats back down to earth after they had defeated Enel.

Conis is head strong, hopeful, and cares deeply for the well being of others. When first introduced she seems happy, friendly, and acts innocent. After meeting the Straw Hat Pirates she keeps all those things. As she becomes more and more courageous, she speaks her mind and is not being afraid of her people's "God" Enel as they struggle to fight him. She is very good at playing the harp as well as being able to use a Waver. Though she never fought, she carried a Burn Bazooka and knew how to use an array of dials. Because of her musical abilities, it was speculated by fans to be the crew's new musician. However, Conis decided to remain in Skypiea.

When she is tense, she bites her bottom lip like Nefertari Vivi.

Trivia

  • She is also an alternate support character for Sanji in One Piece Grand Adventure which shows her only known special ability, which is healing her allies with her harp's music.

Crocus

Laboon's caretaker and overseer of the lighthouse that guides ships coming down from Reverse Mountain into the Grand Line. He is the one who explains to the Straw Hats how the Grand Line works, about Log Poses (Grand Compasses in the English version), Raftel (the last island of the Grand Line and supposed resting place of One Piece) and Laboon's situation. He also has a house inside Laboon when he's not working the lighthouse. He may have had a past connection with Gold Roger. He also has a running gag where he does a glare to increase tension, often for no particular reason. Sanji has been known to feel overly uncomfortable under this glare. He was removed from the 4Kids English dub.

Trivia

Dalton

Dalton used to be a guard who served under King Wapol, but was opposed to Wapol's treatment of his subjects. He was seen with Wapol in Alabasta in a meeting with Princess Nefertari Vivi's father. He was inspired to rebel by Hiruluk. After seeing Hirluk's noble sacrifice, he turned against Wapol, but was subdued and thrown in prison, constantly mocked by Wapol and his henchmen, Chess and Kuromarimo. After Wapol abandoned his kingdom when Blackbeard invaded, Dalton took charge and kept the island from falling into disarray, soon gaining the trust of the people.

When Monkey D. Luffy and his crew came to Drum Island in search of a doctor to cure Nami of her illness during the mission to get Princess Nefertari Vivi to Alabasta Kingdom, they encountered Dalton and some men who thought they were here to rob the island. When asked about a doctor, the only one who could heal Nami was a witch named Dr. Kureha.

Even after Wapol returned and once again subdued him, the people and even the top 20 doctors continued to help out Dalton. He was later seriously wounded by Wapol because he defended the townsfolk from arrows launched by one of Wapol's bodyguards. And he in turn then, even almost going to extreme measures such as planning to blow up Wapol's castle. Luckily, Luffy defeated Wapol and knocked him off the island, after which the people of Drum elected Dalton as their new king and renamed the island, Sakura Kingdom (inspired from the special chemical created by Hilruk, which turned the snow pink).

He appears later in chapter 440, where he shows Doctor Kureha the new bounties of the Straw Hat Pirates. He doesn't live in the castle, preferring to live in the village.

He has eaten the Devil Fruit known as the Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model: Bison (ウシウシの実 モデル野牛(バイソン) Cow Cow Fruit, Model Bison) which gives him the ability to transform into a bison and into a half human/half bison form that resembles a minotaur. In the English anime the fruit is called the "Ox Ox Fruit" and the animal he turns to is an Ox.

Dorry & Broggy

(Dorry)

(Broggy)

The two legendary giants who fight an endless (some would say pointless) battle on Little Garden, an island in the Grand Line. Each giant has a bounty of 100,000,000 berries. The two of them battle with incredible passion and drive, the rules of Giant combat dictating the fight must be fought to the death, though neither of them really remember why they started fighting in the first place (It was over a dispute on who had caught a larger prize on a hunting expedition, reflecting the rivalry between Zoro and Sanji that started on the island). They reappeared later, in the Baroque Works mini-arc, and are still fighting.

They have been fighting for over 100 years, according to Oda when they started they were 58 years old (apparently in human years it would be around 29) and therefore are at least 158 years old by the time Luffy and his crew met them.[1]

Trivia

  • Many characters in One Piece have distinct laughs and the giants follow this tradition. Broggy's sounds like "Go bo bo bo bo" while Dorry's sounds like "Gyeh gyeh gyeh gyeh."
  • Dorry and Broggy appeared in One Piece: Grand Battle! 2 as a background character that chucks an axe onto the battlefield.
  • Broggy and Dorry appear in the English One Piece: Pirates Carnival.
  • Broggy also appeared in the English only One Piece Grand Adventure which he replaces Big Pan

Eustass "Captain" Kidd

Eustaass "Captain" Kidd (ユースタス・"キャプテン"キッド, Yūsutasu Kyaputen Kiddo) is a high bounty pirate on the Shabondy Archipelago and captain of the Kidd Pirates. He has the highest active bounty of 315,000,000 Beli and third overall highest seen so far in the series. The reason for his bounty being so high is due to his harm to civilians during his travels as a pirate.

Eyelashes

Eyelashes (マツゲ, Matsuge) was the camel who accompanied the Strawhats during the Alabasta Arc. He only lets women such as Nami and Vivi ride him. In her admiration, Nami named him "Eyelashes". Refusing to let anyone else on, this prompted the rest of the crew to beat him up and label him as a pervert. He also disguised himself as Vivi by riding a Spot-Billed Duck and wearing a white cape. He was paired up with Sanji and got chased by Mr. 2. After the Alabasta Arc, Eyelashes was ordered to be given special treatment, as well as being allowed to join the Super Spot-Billed Ducks Squad (even though he's a camel).

Gaimon

Gaimon (ガイモン) is a character that gets his body imprisoned in an empty treasure chest after he loses his grip while scaling a small cliff on the mysterious Island of Rare Animals (Gold Island in the 4Kids dub) trying to find some treasure with his pirate crew. The crew leaves Gaimon stranded on the island. The treasure chest becomes his body and cannot be removed, however, he can still use his hands, head and feet. It takes 20 years for another person to find him.

After Gaimon shrinks when he gets stuck in the chest, he can no longer scale the cliff. He has to protect his treasures somehow, so he would use his gun and his spooky voice to drive away intruders. Monkey D. Luffy and the whole crew passes the trial and they begin to become friends. However, when Luffy finally gets to the top of the cliff, Gaimon realized that the treasure chests were empty too and he had been protecting a nonexistent "treasure" for 20 years. He was offered to join the crew of the Strawhats but he declined. Then, he considers the animals as his treasures, and vows to protect them.

Chibi Buggy eventually meets, and befriends, Gaimon in the "Special Cover Miniseries".

Trivia:

  • Author Eiichirō Oda has stated that Gaimon is his favorite character to draw.
  • Gaimon is commonly used as an item in the One Piece video games.
  • He also made a cameo as a shadow in Luffy's mind in the goat island arc.
  • In the Manga Gaimon appeared after Buggy's Arc before Kuro's Arc but in the Anime he appeared After Kuro's Arc and before Krieg's Arc.

Gan Fall

Gan Fall (ガン・フォール, Gan Fōru), was the previous God of Skypiea. He strove to create peace between them and the Shandians, and was close to doing so. However, before it could be achieved, Enel attacked with his army, and soundly defeated Gan Fall and the Cyandians at the same time. Enel then took the position of God of Skypiea for himself. Despite being ousted from his position, as the Sky Knight, Gan Fall still continuously patrols the land helping out those in need (such as Tony Tony Chopper when he was attacked by Shura, and later Nami against Hotori and Kotori). After Monkey D. Luffy defeated Enel, the people of Skypiea begged him take back his rightful position, which he did.

His pet bird Pierre has eaten a Devil Fruit known as the Uma Uma no Mi (ウマウマの実, Horse Horse Fruit) which enabled Pierre to turn into a pegasus or a full horse. Gan Fall uses Pierre and his Devil Fruit power to get around Skypiea. He fights with a lance and a Impact Dial in his gauntlet.

Gan Fall mentioned at the end of Skypiea Arc that he had previously met Gold Roger over 20 years ago in the past. He is one of a few characters that has noticed a similarity between Luffy and Roger.

  • Originally Randy Tallman was cast as the voice of Gan Fall for the FUNimation dub of the show, but passed away and was recast by John Swasey soonafter. He was incorrectly listed as his voice in the credits of Episode 153.[1]

Trivia

Genzo

The sheriff and mayor of Cocoyashi Village (Coco Village in the 4kids version), which is Nami's home town. He is like a father figure to Nami and Nojiko since they were kids and he knew their adoptive mother, Bellemere, quite well. He also kept the town together after Arlong took over the island, making sure everyone was safe and able to pay their tax.

Genzo wears a pinwheel on his hat because he used it to make Nami laugh when she was a baby (this pinwheel also inspired an attack for Luffy during their fight with Arlong). He played a role in rescuing Luffy after Arlong threw him into the ocean. All of Genzo's scars are from his first encounter with Arlong when he tried to stop him from taking Nami, Arlong made Kuroobi cut every part of his body with a sword. He was also almost killed by Arlong for hoarding novelty swords, until Usopp saved him.

Genzo's pinwheel inspired Nami's new tattoo--a pinwheel to represent him with a tangerine to represent Bellemere. After Nami sails off with Luffy and crew, Genzo says he no longer needs his pinwheel, placing it by Bellemere's grave. The origin of the pinwheel is then revealed. Bell-Mere said that Nami cried when she saw Genzo because he looked scary, but then Genzo put his pinwheel on to make Nami laugh. It is revealed later in the manga that Luffy is very interested in the pinwheel {this inspires a new attack for Luffy, Gomu Gomu No Pinwheel}, not even noticing the Navy who are trying to find Nami, just Genzo's pinwheel. However, this could be a put down in reference to Luffy's simple-mindedness. He threatens Luffy that if he finds out that he made Nami cry, he'll come after him. However, Luffy lived up to that promise, as Nami's sister, Nojiko pointed out.

Genzo appears again later, and is outraged by Nami's wanted poster, wherein she is in a bikini, saying she'll get more suitors than bounty hunters, yet has blown it up poster-sized hanging in his house.

In the American dub of One Piece, Genzo is played by Marc Diraison and speaks with a thick Italian accent.

Trivia

Gold Roger

Gold Roger (real name later revealed to be Gol D. Roger) was the Pirate King, the strongest pirate alive, and owner of the legendary treasure known as One Piece. Born in Loguetown (Roguetown in the English manga and anime), Roger was famed as the man who did what no one thought possible — he conquered the Grand Line. Even before setting out, he was the only man who truly did not fear the dangers of the Grand Line and was even excited about venturing out there. Even with warnings about ships never returning from that ocean, he did not care; in fact, he even declared that was the reason for him going.

He was said to be completely fearless, and those who witnessed his execution even claim that he grinned just before his death. Many people who've met Monkey D. Luffy and knew Roger have commented that the two are very similar.

As the original and current Japanese prologue states:

"Wealth, fame, power.
The man who had acquired everything in this world, the pirate king, Gold Roger!"

Gonbe

Chimney's pet rabbit, who thinks he's a cat. He can be considered a cabbit, a hybrid of cat and rabbit common in anime. He also says strange words. He is normally shown mimicking Chimney, even trying to talk like her. He often speaks with a "gno, gno" sound.

Goro

Toto's brother and Kohza's uncle in the Gedatsu mini-story. His dream was to open a hot springs resort, and he was able to do that with Gedatsu's help.

Higuma

Higuma was a mountain bandit, leader of a band of similar bandits. When Luffy was a child, the band swept into the town where Luffy lived and demanded grog, only to find that the last of it had been purchased by Red-Haired Shanks and his crew. Higuma personally insulted him before storming out of the town. After a short series of events, Higuma had kidnapped Luffy and started to take him to sea. This was interrupted by a Sea King, who proceeded to eat Higuma. He had a bounty of 8,000,000 that he was very proud of. He used his wanted poster to try to intimidate people.

Trivia

Hiruluk

Hiruluk (ヒルルク, Hiruruku, from German Chirurg for “surgeon”), known as "Hililuk" in English Subs and One Piece: Unlimited Adventure and Hiriluk in the English anime, was a quack doctor from Drum Island and Tony Tony Chopper's father figure. After Wapol declared any doctor not under his rule to be outlaws, he and Doctor Kureha were the only free doctors left. He apparently knew more about Pyrotechnics and Chemistry than Medicine; he had more potent explosives than medicine and would more often hurt than heal his patients.

In his early days, Hiruluk was a thief who was diagnosed with a fatal illness. What he believed cured him was the serene vision of a grove of cherry trees. After being cured, he came to believe that there is no disease in the world that cannot be cured. He returned to Drum Island, the island he was born on, to help cure a dire sickness. Hiruluk's main dream was to cure the people of the island of their frozen hearts which had formed because of Wapol's selfishness; in order to do this, Hiruluk spent the last 30 years of his life trying to make cherry blossoms bloom in the snow-covered island.

In his final days, he was informed by Kureha the precise day of his eminent death. Hiruluk was originally the only one trusted and loved by Chopper. Overhearing the doctors' conversation, Chopper searched for a mushroom that would allegedly cure Hiruluk of his ailment. He spotted the mushroom in a medical book with a skull and crossbones next to it to indicate that it was poisonous, but he had been taught the skull and crossbones, or Jolly Roger, symbolized the will of the pirates, which was good.

On his hunt for the mushroom, Chopper became horribly injured in a fight with another reindeer. Without Chopper realizing that it was actually poisonous, he eagerly presented the mushroom to Hiruluk. Hiruluk, after seeing the badly bruised and bloody Chopper, although realizing the mushroom's poisonous nature, prepared the mushroom for medicine as a sign of gratitude towards the reindeer. After seeing Chopper's kind heart, he then on wished for Chopper to also become a doctor.

As Hiruluk began to eat a soup made from the mushroom, he saw at his lab the reaction of an experiment he had been working on to make the cherry blossom bloom. He finished the soup, ready to finish his dream.

Later that day, he is seen at Kureha's house. They heard that all of the Island's doctors were sick. He begged her to finish administering his medicine for cherry blossoms and to teach Chopper to become a doctor, knowing what her reaction will be. She blatantly refused and forced him out of her house. He then headed toward the castle to help the other doctors.

He was tricked by Wapol into coming to the castle and was ambushed. At the Castle, he exclaimed how relieved he was that all the doctors were alright. He then gave one of the most touching speeches throughout the series, saying:

When does a man die? When he is shot in the heart by a bullet? No. When he is ravaged by a disease? No. When he eats a soup made out of a poisonous mushroom? No. A man dies when he is forgotten!

He then mixes an explosive drink, to make sure he will not die because of Chopper's mushroom. A moment before drinking it, however, he raises his glass and says:

"This was truly a wonderful life!!"

And then he dies in a billowing explosion.

  • Note: In the English anime, Hiruluk did not explode from drinking the potion, but it was still implied that the potion killed him.

He never lived to see his dream come true, which was made a reality years later. Chopper had become a great doctor and Kureha and the people of Drum would use Hiruluk's final invention, a special chemical to turn snow pink, creating the illusion of cherry blossoms blooming in the snow.

Like many One Piece characters, Hiruluk has a distinct laugh, which sounds like "Eh eh eh eh eh!" which Chopper would imitate. Until the introduction of Enel in One Piece: Grand Adventure, Hiriluk was the only character in the 4Kids version of One Piece to keep his distinct laugh.

trivia

Igaram

Captain of the royal guards, he is Chaka and Pell's boss. He and Princess Vivi infiltrated Baroque Works and manage to become Frontier Agents in order to learn the organization's true boss and objectives. He was known as Mr. 8 by most of the Baroque Works before being exposed, and introduces himself as Igarappoi when he is first seen in Whiskey Peak. Igaram fights with a saxophone that shoots bullets when played, and he also has small guns hidden in his hair that fire when he pulls on his neck tie.

After he and Vivi were found out, he dressed up as Vivi to act as decoy while the Straw Hats helped Vivi get back to Alabasta. But Nico Robin (Miss All Sunday at the time) blew up his ship and he was presumed dead until the end of the Alabasta arc, where he emerged alive and well in Nanohana (which appears to be what Robin intended).

He finally caught up with the rebellion carrying a witness, Kappa, who saw Mr. 2 Bon Clay remove his disguise as Cobra, the king of Alabasta, proof that the rebellion was started by Baroque Works and not by the faults of the king. He was again seen decoying as Vivi, during a speech to the people of Alabasta, so she could sneak away secretly to say goodbye to the Straw-Hats. Later in the Rainbow Mist Arc, he is seen placing Rainbow Mist Volume X on a shelf in Alabasta. He seems to have more than a necessary liking for wearing women's clothing, and has dressed as Vivi off his own bat more than once. This could just be because of his loyalty to Vivi.

He is married to Terracotta. Like many One Piece characters, Igaram has a unique speech pattern. When clearing his throat, he says "Mah, Mah, Maah!" like an opera singer. In the dub, it is changed to "ahem, ahem, ahem."

Trivia

  • Igaram is Vivi's support character in One Piece: Grand Battle 1
  • Igaram was absent in the 8th One Piece movie, so most of his role was replaced by his wife.

Ippon-Matsu

The owner of the weapons shop in Loguetown who tried to trick Roronoa Zoro into selling his Wadō Ichimonji for much less than it was worth. Ippon-Matsu gave the two blades Sandai Kitetsu and Yubashiri to Zoro after warning the swordsman about the first blade being cursed.

Trivia

  • He appeared in the English only One Piece (Game Boy Advance) game, where he gives you an item.
  • He was last mentioned in the end of Enies Lobby Arc as Flashback.

Jewelry Bonney

Jewelry Bonney (ジュエリー・ボニー, Juerii Bonii) is a powerful pirate in the Shabondy Archipelago with a bounty of 140,000,000. She loves to eat and is known as the "The Big Eater". She is the captain of the Bonney Pirates. She is named after Anne Bonny, a female pirate famous for disguising as a man. She saved Zoro(and nearly all the pirates in the Archipelago) by stopping him from killing a World Noble although Zoro mistakes her for a brat and doesn't really care that she saved his life, namely for the fact that he doesn't understand the situation

Johnny and Yosaku

(Johnny)

(Yosaku)

Johnny and Yosaku are old friends and former bounty hunting partners of Roronoa Zoro. They first appear during the Baratie arc and stay in the story until the end of the Arlong arc, both times helping out the Straw Hats. They arrive on the scene after Usopp and Luffy unknowingly shoot at the tiny island they're on for target practice. The partners had to stop because Yosaku was suffering from scurvy, but Nami was able to diagnose and treat him. Zoro also borrowed their swords for his fight with Hatchan after his other swords were destroyed by Mihawk. They next appear when the story of their first meeting with Zoro is revealed in the filler episode 135.

Kappa

Kappa is a young Alabasta child who wanted to join the Rebellion against the king; however, Koza refused to let him join because he was so young. Kappa later fell upon the secret of Baroque Works and learned that the king was framed. Daz Bones and Miss Doublefinger attacked him to keep him quiet. Igaram later finds him, and Kappa soon tells all of Alabasta about what was really going on. It was his eyewitness that officially ended the war.

Trivia

  • Despite having a very important role in the series, he, like Igaram and Eyelashes, was absent in the eighth movie.

Karoo

Karoo (カルー Karū), also spelled "Carue," is Vivi's pet spot-billed duck, a fast-footed riding bird (one of the fastest modes of transportation available in Alabasta). He has been by her side since their childhoods, and he is Vivi's truest friend, even sleeping in her bedroom alongside her. His role during Vivi's time with the Straw Hat Pirates is mostly that of comic relief, although he does relay valuable information to Chopper from time to time, helps Luffy and Usopp to defeat the Baroque Works agents in Little Garden and saves Vivi from Mr. 2 Bon Clay in Alabasta, as well as shielding her from the cavalry charge before the walls of Alubarna. His name comes from the Japanese word "karugamo," which means "spot-billed duck."

Trivia

Kaya

Kaya (カヤ) is a rich girl who gets an inheritance after her parents died. Kaya becomes sickly, and her caretaker Klahadore often tends to her. (Klahadore was found three years earlier by her father, practically dead on their doorstep. Kaya's father took pity and offered the man a job.) Secretly, the town liar--Usopp--climbs a tree outside her window and tells her tall tales that make her laugh and feel better. However, Klahadore is very disapproving of this and eventually kicks Usopp out and makes Kaya believe that he is a bad influence.

One day, Usopp listens in on a conversation between Klahadore and Jango, a hypnotist. Klahadore is really Captain Kuro and reveals that he plans to kill Kaya for her money--the last three years he has been gaining the trust of Kaya and the Village. Usopp tries to warn Kaya about the plot, but Kaya believes that he is lying; she rebukes him when he insists that he is telling the truth. She eventually learns the truth, and after Kuro is defeated, she gives the Straw Hats the Going Merry.

She was recently seen in manga chapter 440, discovering Usopp's Sogeking bounty poster. She and the former Usopp Pirates knew it was Usopp, just by looking at his nose. Kaya comments that she needs to continue to learn more about medicine as she says that when the day comes that Usopp returns he will probably be hurt from all his adventures and she wants to help him. However, his "pirate crew" vow to beat him up if Usopp ever makes Kaya cry.

Trivia

Killer

Killer (キラー, Kirā) is a powerful pirate in the Shabondy Archipelago with a bounty of 162,000,000. He is a member of the Kid Pirates. He is known as "The Massacre Man". He is shown to have a air birthing helmet on his head and wears Cowboy like clothing on the rest of his body.

Koza

Koza (コーザ, Kōza often romanized as Kohza) is Princess Vivi's childhood friend and childhood leader of the Suna Suna (Sand Sand) Clan. Later in adulthood after the various Baroque Works plans to undermine the King went underway, Kohza eventually ended up leading the rebel forces against him. Though he led the assault on the Royal Capitol, he attempted to stop the rebellion once he realized what was really going on. Though gravely wounded in the battle, he recovered and helped his father Toto rebuild the city of Yuba. Kohza was last seen at Ukkari Hot Spring, owned and operated by his uncle Goro, along with Enel's ex-High Priest Gedatsu.

Other Media

Kokoro

Kokoro (ココロ) is the main conductor of the Sea Train, Puffing Tom, at the station just outside of Water Seven. She has a granddaughter named Chimney, who accompanies her everywhere. Kokoro is a heavy drinker, and speaks with a mild speech impediment that gives her dialogue a distinctive ring.

Kokoro was once the "lovely" secretary of Tom, and a matronly figure to his two apprentices, Iceburg and Franky. It was she who revealed to the Straw Hat Pirates, Franky Family, and Galley-La Company foremen the existence of a prototype Sea Train, and she was also responsible for driving the prototype, called "Rocketman," as it sped on its way towards Enies Lobby. Her facial features make it look as if she is perpetually smiling regardless of her actual emotions. Her body shape, along with her strange smile, makes her look like a frog. She is, in fact, an icefish mermaid, though resembles more of a dugong in terms of appearance and shape. The fact that she is a mermaid and how she looks upsets Sanji greatly and to a certain extent even Nami, although she is not still not used to how mermaids should look. It has been hinted that she knows a great deal about Gold Roger and may have even known him personally.

Like some of the other characters of One Piece, Kokoro has a unique laugh, she starts it with a "Nga" (i.e. Nga ga ga ga ga)

Koushirou

Zoro's sensei in Shimoshiki village, named in One Piece Blue and Yellow. He was the father of Kuina and was the person to hint to Zoro the power of cutting nearly anything, when focusing on the objects "soul". He was last seen in chapter 440, reflecting on Zoro's bounty.

Kuina

Kuina (くいな) was the childhood friend of Roronoa Zoro. She was the daughter of the sword master of a dojo, the reason why Zoro developed the Santōryu technique, and why he treasures one of his swords, the Wadō Ichimonji, more than his others. In the defunct 4Kids dub, the Wadō Ichimonji is just "Wado". When Zoro was young, he challenged Kuina's dojo to a match. If he won, he'd take their school sign. (In Japan, the sign signifies the dojo is to be respected). If he lost, he'd join the dojo. However, he had no experience in swordfighting whatsoever; Kuina defeated him with one blow.

After he joined the dojo, Zoro fought Kuina regularly, but found that in 2001 fights he could never beat her. Despite this, Kuina, who'd been told by her father that she could not achieve her dream of becoming the world's best swordsman since she was female and would mature into the physically-weaker gender, soon became discouraged in her future as a swordfighter. After tearfully telling Zoro about her future's despondent outlook, he got angry, yelling that she wasn't weak, and training so hard to beat someone who would grow weaker than him made him look bad. He swore that the day he beat her, it would be because he trained hard, not because she grew weaker.

This makes Kuina feel better and she decides to continue chasing her dreams. Inspired, the two make a vow: that both would grow stronger, and one of them would eventually become the world's best swordmaster. However, the next day, Kuina fell down the stairs while trying to get a sharpening block (no doubt to resharpen her katana after her and Zoro's duel) and died at the tender age of 14 (in the defunct 4Kids dub, she was injured by the friends of a man she defeated, and could never fight again). Zoro asked her father for the honor of taking the Wadō Ichimonji with him, and with this Zoro promised to fulfil their shared dream of becoming the greatest swordsman to fruition in order to honor Kuina.

In the anime, her father has a conversation with Zoro after her death/injury in which he states that Kuina's rivalry with Zoro had motivated her to train harder than ever. Because of this, Kuina had begun breaking down the physical barriers that prevented a swordswoman from becoming the best. In this conversation, her father expresses regret at telling his daughter she couldn't be number one, implying that she would have become an incredible fighter had she not died.

The Naval officer Tashigi bears a strong resemblance to Kuina (in appearance, personality, and sword style), to the point where it makes Zoro extremely uncomfortable around her. Tashigi is also the exact age that Kuina would be, if alive. However, it is unknown if they have any greater connection than that.

Trivia

  • She only appeared in One Piece Grand Adventure as a playable character.
  • In One Piece Grand Adventure her attack resembles Tashigi a lot.
  • Kuina is the youngest character to ever appear in a One Piece game.

Doctor Kureha

Doctor Kureha is the sole remaining doctor on Drum Island. Because of her eccentric treatment of patients (whom she will readily injure if they do not follow her orders) she also displays abnormal fighting abilities and strength (punching through a brick wall several metres thick), along with her reclusive nature, she is often called a "witch." However, she is a legitimate practitioner of medicine, and has kept herself healthy and fit at nearly 140 years old[2] (a "young 99 and a half" in the 4Kids dub version).

This is often humorous as she appears as a woman with a body that would rival Nami's or Robin's yet has a very old face and an old voice. She considers herself a beautiful virgin flower, dresses in a style more suited to women one-sixth her age, and cannot stand being called "old" or a "hag" (which usually ends up in her punching or kicking the offender across the room). Kureha seems to have a drinking habit, judging by the bottle of umeshu (bug juice in the 4Kids dub) she always keeps close at hand, though she may consider this part of the regimen that keeps up her (relative) youth. She also has a habit of "mishearing" people to be asking the secret to her youth. She seems to be somewhat anxious to tell it, though she never has a chance. People seem to be afraid to ask it. According to Oda, Kureha still has many years ahead of her.

Dr. Kureha had an odd relationship with Dr. Hiruluk, seeming to enjoy the camaraderie of a fellow "doctor", but dismissing most of his ideas as those of a quack. When she realized that Hiruluk was dying, she agreed (reluctantly) to his last request: to train Tony Tony Chopper in medicine. During the time since Hiruluk's death, she trained Chopper in everything she knew, and was fairly impressed by the young reindeer's skill (though she rarely, if ever, let on to this fact). Knowing that Chopper would do well to gain real-world experience, Kureha helped make up his mind (by forbidding him from it) to leave the island with the Straw Hat Pirates. Standing on the ramparts of Drum Castle, she gave her wayward student a tearful send-off of gigantic proportions, setting off the "cure" that Dr. Hiruluk envisioned for the island: pink "cherry blossom" snowflakes falling from the sky to warm the island's frosted heart.

She appears again in chapter 440, wherein she saw Chopper's wanted poster (50 Berries), and hoped the number was a mistake. She doesn't seem to care that Dalton is now the king, and addresses him in her normal rude way.

She is played by Masako Nozawa in the original Japanese version, and by Maddie Blaustein in the English dub, who, incidentally, also played Dr. K in the English dub of Cubix. As a reference to this, Chopper's nickname for Kureha is "Dr. K" in the English dub, as opposed to the Japanese counterpart's nickname, "Doctorine".

Trivia

Laboon

Laboon is an extremely large whale (of comparable or greater size than the monsters in Calm Belt), native to West Blue, whom the Straw Hat Pirates encounter immediately after entering Grand Line. Fifty years earlier, Laboon had been left at the bottom of Reverse Mountain by a group of pirates who had befriended him. Since his species travels in pods, he had forged a powerful bond of friendship with these pirates, and he patiently waited for them at Grand Line's entrance. His caretaker is a doctor named Crocus, who normally mans the Lighthouse that introduces travelers into Grand Line.

Crocus revealed to the Straw Hat Pirates that Laboon's friends effectively abandoned him by fleeing the Grand Line through the Calm Belt. (although this may not be true as Brook described his crew as being slaughtered in the Florian Triangle) The pirates were recently revealed to be the crew of Brook the skeleton, leaving him as Laboon's only crewmate left. The old doctor has cared for Laboon ever since his friends left him. Although Laboon knows the truth about his friends, he refuses to admit to himself that they are gone. Laboon has many scars on his head from slamming into Reverse Mountain, for he believes he can destroy the mountain and return to West Blue.

Monkey D. Luffy, in an effort to give Laboon a renewed sense of hope, picks a fight with the whale by jamming the Going Merry's mast into his head. After the battle (which Luffy calls a draw), Luffy promises to Laboon that he will return to see him, under the guise of wanting a rematch. As a sign of this, Luffy paints the Strawhat Jolly Roger on Laboon's head, commenting that the insignia will wear away if Laboon hits Reverse Mountain further. The Straw hats depart, leaving behind two important friends.

Recently, the only known survivor of the pirates that had abandoned him fifty years ago has been revealed to be Brook, an undead skeleton the Straw Hats met shortly before they arrived on Thriller Bark. He has currently reclaimed his shadow, so that he can exit the Florian Triangle, and return to Laboon.

Originally, in the Japanese manga and anime, the appearance of Laboon is also the introduction of Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday, two Frontier Agents of Baroque Works who are responsible for bringing the Straw Hat Pirates to Whisky Peak (Misty Peak in the English dub). However, this brief encounter was deemed to be too controversial and violent by 4Kids for American audiences, so Laboon was passed off as an iceberg that was effectively destroyed by Monkey D. Luffy. (In the July 2006 English issue of Shonen Jump, there is a page featuring upcoming One Piece cards; in this, he is called "Raboon," but his name remains "Laboon," in the manga itself.)

This missing "arc" was also originally how Nami came to have a Log Pose, though this was also written around in the English anime, claiming that Usopp's father had given him the Pose and that Zeff told Sanji about how the Grand Line works. On top of this, the mention of the island "Raftel" was said by Sanji, instead of Crocus. Lastly, as mentioned before, one of the pirates that abandoned Laboon is Brook, who is an important character in the Thriller Bark arc and is the sole reason for him to remain alive. Due to Funimation gaining the licensing rights to One Piece, the Laboon arc may be shown on DVD, sometime next year.

Lola

A large-set female pirate, Lola is the captain of the Rolling Pirates. She is infamous for having attempted to propose marriage over four-thousand times to any male she comes across, only to be turned down time and again.

Three years prior to the start of the story, Lola and her crew were captured by the Moria Pirates on the island/ship of Thriller Bark and forced to have their shadows put inside the zombie servants of Shichibukai member Gecko Moria. (Lola's went inside the body of a warthog female with the same name and similar proposition problems) Without her shadow, Lola and her crew were forced to hide in Thriller Bark's forest where they foraged any released shadows, using them on themselves to survive in the daylight. However, Lola had a master plan: using Moria's shadows to power up a person who would assist them in freeing them from their situation. This turned out to be Monkey D. Luffy, who Lola implanted with one-hundred shadows to allow him to fight back against Moria and his ultimate zombie Oz.

After Oz's defeat, Lola and her crew appeared to finally be free from their curse. However, the revival of Moria combined with the rising sun presented a problem of being caught off guard. Choosing to stand for her fate, Lola stands in the midst of the rising sun, slowly burning up as she chose not to be scared any more of the threat of living without her shadow. Yet with the ultimate defeat of Moria by the Straw Hat pirates, Lola and all her crew finally regained their shadows in the end. Before the strawhats leave she gives Luffy a Biblicard that will bring them to her mother.

Makino

Makino is the bartender from the hometown of Monkey D. Luffy, Fuusha Village. She's a very kind person, and was a close friend of Shanks, his crew, and Luffy. Makino appeared to be a very prominent figure in Fusha Village. She is sometimes shown with her mayor. She seems to have been a mother/big sister figure to Luffy when he was a boy. When Higuma was hurting Luffy, Makino ran to get the mayor. When the Shanks pirates left the town for the final time Makino was with Luffy when he watched them leave.

She typically appears when the village discuss Luffy's bounty going up, commenting that he looked happy the first time and later that Luffy had made some good friends when all of them got bounties. Discussing Luffy's new bounty after the Enies Lobby arc in chapter 440, her looks are changed from the earliest chapters. This may have to do with the general change in Oda's drawing style from smooth, angular and compact to loose, more dynamic and detailed.

Margarita

A girl from West Blue of which Cindry's shadow belongs to. When she sees that she has her reflection (which also means her shadow) back, she becomes so shocked she drops the plates she's holding, though her master forgives her. Although Margarita hated plates when her shadow was placed in Cindry, she stated that she no longer feels that way, giving closure to Cindry's sad story.

Mayor Woop Slap

The mayor from Luffy's town. He was the first person to stick up for Luffy during his tussle with Higuma the Bear. He complained about Luffy's dream of becoming a pirate, saying that it would bring shame to the village; however, he later questioned whether it might be Luffy's "destiny." Though he seems to be disappointed in Luffy's choice to become a pirate he shows he stills cares for the boy.

The One Piece BLUE databook reveals that his real name is Woop Slap and that he knows when and how Luffy was born and Luffy's origins.[3] He is familiar with Garp and his family (including Dragon). In chapter 440, he reads about Luffy's bounty and mutters to himself whether Dadan knows.

McKinley

Captain of the White Berets (a police force in Skypeia), he tried to arrest the Straw Hat Pirates when they first arrived in Skypeia. He appears to be very devoted to Enel, until it is revealed that Enel planned to destroy Skypeia with his Devil Fruit powers, McKinley then reveals that he only did everything Enel commanded in order to ensure the safety of the citizens of Sky Island. McKinley, along with the rest of the White Berets, then left Enel's side and chose to help Conis evacuate the Skypeian people.

Merry

Merry is Kaya's underbutler and caretaker. His cleft lip and ram horns lend him an eccentric, ovine appearance.

Like the other villagers, Merry ignored Usopp's warning of the Black Cat Pirates' impending attack, believing it was another lie. On the eve of the attack, Kaya's butler Klahadore severely injured Merry and revealed that he intended to take Kaya's fortune. When Kaya discovered Merry the next morning, he told her the truth about her trusted guardian.

After the Straw Hats defeated Captain Kuro and the Black Cat Pirates, Merry gratefully rewarded the small crew for their selflessness and valor with a square-rigged caravel christened Merry Go.

The distinctive ram's figurehead, the similarity between their names, and the fact that he was the ship's former owner all strongly suggest that Merry built the Merry Go. This would make his skills as a shipwright quite remarkable, as the Merry Go made its way into the Grand Line as far as Water 7.

Mikazuki

The captain and only named member of the Big Helmet Pirates. He was seen in a shipyard refusing to pay the Galley-La for repairing his ship. He started to cause trouble only to find himself and his crew knocked down by the Galley-La workers. He has a bounty of 36,000,000 Berries. He appears later in the fillers working for the debt collectors (apparently without a ship he can't leave Water 7 anymore) but he is easily defeated by Zoro. Like all his crew members he is a swordsman.

Minatomo-San

Minatomo-san the carpenter is another One Piece SBS joke Oda invented to explain how the door Higuma the Bear kicked off its hinge was suddenly back in place as the bandit left the bar, after Higuma smashed a bottle of Sake over Shanks.[4] According to Oda, Minatomo is a carpenter who cannot go past a broken door without repairing it. Since the answer was given, Minatomo has made several appearances in the anime, normally seen either randomly standing next to people or repairing doors. One example would be during the Loguetown Arc when Carmen challenges Sanji and then disappears, Minatoma asks Sanji if he'll enter the contest which Sanji denies. Minatomo's appearances are similar in idea to Pandaman and Sam-San.

Moda

The milk maiden Ace meets during his chapter title mini-arc. She saves him from the river after he was thrown into it by Doctor Blackbeard and an angry chef Ace had skipped out on. He returns the favor by reuniting Moda with her parents who are working as cooks in one of the Navy's ships.

Monkey D. Dragon

Monkey D. Dragon is the father of Monkey D. Luffy and Portgas D. Ace and is also the son of Vice-Admiral Monkey D. Garp. Known as the Revolutionary Dragon, he is the world's most wanted criminal, and another one of the several characters given the middle initial "D". He has had his revolutionary ideas spread throughout the world and has taken several nations. He is also the only member of the D. family to look serious, partly due to his strange facial mark. Despite being an enemy to the World Government, he still keeps contact with his father.

Before the start of the series, Dragon left Luffy in Garp's care. Dragon first appears after a lightning bolt suddenly destroys the gallows where Luffy was to be executed by Buggy the Clown and then saves Luffy from being captured by Captain Smoker. When he saved Luffy from Smoker, a mighty gust of eerie wind swept through Loguetown. It is undetermined whether or not he was the cause behind the gust of wind or the lightning; however, the story leads to believe there is more to him than it seems. Recently, he has taken over an island in the South Blue and is about to head to the North Blue when he commented, after noticing Luffy's newest bounty, given to him after invading Enies Lobby, that father and son will meet sometime soon.

Montblanc Norland

In the present day of the series, Montblanc Norland (モンブラン・ノーランド, Monburan Nōrando) is regarded in a North Blue fairy tale as a trickster and a liar who made up the story of a gold city on Jaya Island. He stood by his story even up till his execution.

But 400 years ago, he was an explorer who found the island of Jaya by hearing the ringing of a golden bell located there. This bell was regarded as a holy object by the native Shandora tribe of Jaya. Norland and his crew became friends with the tribe, especially the Shandoran warrior Calgara, and with their help discovered a city of gold on the island.

After he returned to his home island Lyneel, he told the king about his expedition. The king then ordered Norland to take him to the city of gold. Once they arrived on the island, however, the city and its people had disappeared. The king, furious, thought Norland was playing a trick on him and thus sentenced him to death. Furthermore, the king even framed Norland by having one of his subjects act as member of Norland's crew, falsely testifying against Norland. In the end, with his crew watching helplessly, Norland is left tearfully wondering what happened to his native friends and the golden city as he is killed. As a final insult, the North Blue fairy tale telling his story depicts him as a grinning fool and the king as a brave warrior.

The true reason for the city's disappearance, though unknown to Norland, was due to an underwater geyser called the Knock Up Stream. This powerful geyser shot a portion of the island up into the sky, where it remained suspended. Norland's claims are finally proven to be the truth when Luffy rings the golden bell in Skypiea, which can be heard below on Jaya Island. The fairly tale may remain, but to his descendant Montblanc Cricket and his friends, he is vindicated after 400 years of shame.

Nefertari Cobra

The King of Alabasta and Nefertari Vivi's father. He is very wise and fair, and cares deeply for his kingdom and people even though they are rebelling against him. He was first seen during Dalton's flashback of the World Government meeting held in Alabasta. During the settings of One Piece, Alabasta was in a hopeless state when no rain had fallen under three years, people of Alabasta suspected the king to be guilty over this and that he used Dance powder in order to save the capital Alubarna and left Yuba deserted. It was soon found out that Baroque Works were behind this, proven through a letter Vivi sent to Cobra. Cobra made the decision to send Pell to Erumalu and Chaka to set up the Royal Army in order to assault Crocodile's headquarters at Rainbase.

But later Baroque Works sent Mr. 2 Bon Clay to Nanohana to use his Mane Mane power to impersonate Cobra and claim that he stole the rain, violently hurting the people, including Kohza, and causing confusion among the people of Alabasta. Nefertari Cobra was being caught by Miss Merry Christmas and Mr. 4 at that point and later being pierced on the walls at the entrance of the king's castle, where Nefertari Vivi and later Monkey D. Luffy would be negotiating with Crocodile and Miss All-Sunday. Later Cobra lead Miss All-Sunday to the poneglyphs, to gather information about Pluton. When Crocodile arrived to the place Luffy went on and fought against for a last time, making Cobra witness the great battle. At last Crocodile was beaten, Cobra carried the unconscious Luffy to the other Straw Hat team.

At the end of the war the only witness, Kappa, told the army that he saw "Cobra" changing back to Bon Clay during the Katorea incident, thus ending the war.

His name was changed to Nebra in the 4Kids English version of the anime.

In North American English-language versions, his family name is romanized as Nefeltari.

Nefertari Vivi

Nefertari Vivi (ネフェルタリ・ビビ, Neferutari Bibi) first appears as an antagonist as the main characters reach the Grand Line, as a member of Baroque Works, a criminal organization that was behind several scandals in the country of Alabasta. It is revealed that Vivi is actually the princess of Alabasta, but infiltrated Baroque Works as Miss Wednesday to find the identity of the leader, who turns out to be the Shichibukai member Sir Crocodile. With help from the Straw Hat Crew, she was able to reveal the truth to her people, ending several uprisings and stopping battles that would have forever ruined the nation.

Trivia

  • The word "Nefertari" in Vivi and her father's names is ancient Egyptian, and means "the most beautiful" or "most wonderful". It was a word often used to describe Egyptian queens and princesses. Oda admitted the Alabasta arc was based around ancient Egypt, but apparently had no clue on what the word meant when he chose the name.[5]
  • Despite her long absence from the series and her separation from ties to the Straw Hat crew, Vivi was featured on the cover page of chapters 271, 423 and 484, usually reserved to Straw Hats. That makes her the only non-Straw Hat other than the Going Merry to appear on a cover page.
  • In the English manga and anime, her name is romanized as "Nefeltari Vivi".
  • In the Anime Vivi's Miss Wednesday outfit was slightly edited, the swirls became strips to loose some of the more sexual overtones.

Nico Olvia

Nico Olvia (ニコ・オルビア Niko Orubia) was the mother of Nico Robin. She was an archaeologist from the island of Ohara, who worked with a team of scholars in the island's "Tree of Knowledge" in the outlawed study of Poneglyphs. Her pursuit of this forbidden source of knowledge proved disastrous in her life. 4 years before the death of Gold Roger, She left her 2-year-old daughter at Ohara to set sail with 33 other scholars, only to see them all get killed by the Marines, and to get captured herself. Although she later escaped (with the help of Jaguar D. Saul, who didn't like the way the Navy punished them just for reading Poneglyphs) and set out for Ohara in a Naval Battleship, the World Government had already deduced that Ohara was the team's home port and dispatched the secret police force CP9 to wipe out the "criminal" researchers.

Olvia manages to make it to the Tree of Knowledge and warns her fellow scholars of the incoming danger, then goes to confront Spandine but is subdued and rounded up with the rest of the scholars back at the tree where she is reunited with her daughter. She at first claims that Robin isn't her daughter to keep her safe, but breaks down when Robin calls out to her. Olvia embraces Robin one more time before Saul arrives and asks him to take Robin off the island. She then helps Clover and the other scholars throw books from the tree into the ocean so future generations can find them and know what really happened. Afterwards, they all stay in the Tree of Knowledge as it burns, Olvia regretting that she did not leave any parting words for Robin as a mother.

She is voiced by the same seiyuu who voices Nico Robin. In a recent Japanese Fan Poll, Nico Olvia is currently ranked the 44th most popular character in One Piece.

Nojiko

Nojiko is the adoptive older sister of Nami (the two are not biologically related but were raised together by Bellemere). She plays a major part in the Arlong arc as she reveals Nami's past to the Straw Hats and helps rescue Luffy with the help of Genzo after Luffy is thrown into the ocean by Arlong with his feet stuck in a block of cement. Her right arm is covered in tattoos, which she got to help Nami not to feel ashamed of her tattoo of Arlong's pirate logo. After trying to stop Nami from attacking Captain Nezumi, a Naval officer who tries to take the money Nami raised for her deal with Arlong, Nojiko was shot by him in the back. However, she survived. In the manga, she gave her bracelet to Nami. She appears later again, and is glad that Nami looks happy in her wanted poster.

Pandaman

Pandaman is a joke character created by the author, Eiichirō Oda, whose appearance is that of a muscle bound figure with a panda face for a head (whether this is a mask or his real face remains to be seen). He makes numerous background appearances throughout the series for the viewer to try and spot.[6] .

Pandaman was originally created for the book 77 Mysteries of Kinnikuman. He originated from Tibet and age is unknown. He is 200 cm (6'6") tall, weighs 122kg (270 lbs), and has a Super Power Rating of 3,300,000. His mortal blow techniques: Bamboo Leaf Panda Drop and Giant Panda Deathlock. His Explanation: Abandoned in a bamboo thicket as an infant, Panda Man was raised by Giant Pandas. He is an Akuma Chōjin who resolved to become strong because when he told people he had seen Kaguya-Hime, they did not believe him and picked on him. (Kaguyahime was a princess who was found inside a bamboo stump, according to Japanese legends.)[7]

According to Oda, Pandaman is a rich guy living on a certain island.[8] He is often seen in the same panel as one of the Tomato Gang, a debt collector on the lookout for Pandaman, trying to collect the money Pandaman owes (which is why Pandaman is often seen running away on appearances).[9]

Pandaman's bounty is revealed to be 3,333,000 berries during the Anime Filler Arc Ice Hunter on Episode 326, as Kanpaccino's hand blocks the entire number. This is the same amount as Super Power Rating.

In a recent Japanese Fan Poll, Pandaman is currently ranked the 31st most popular character in One Piece.

Pandaman also appears in One Piece Grand Battle! popping or hiding in the background. In some stages he might appear in more than one place. In few games, he was also an unlockable character to play as. In Grand Battle! (グランドバトル! Gurando Batoru!), Pandaman had an own story mode and his final battle was against Luffy, which Luffy instantly found Pandaman awesome and, ironically, guessed his name right. If the battle was a draw, Luffy insists that Pandaman should join his crew. Pandaman was shown interested, but he decides to remain rivals with Luffy instead. If Pandaman won the battle, Luffy finds it unfair that Pandaman is both strong AND a panda. In One Piece: Pirates Carnival, he appears in both one of the minigames and as a captain in a Captain Game. Pandaman again appears in One Piece: Unlimited Adventure (as one of the games Easter Eggs) in various places on the island doing various thing; a.e. swimming, training, climbing, or just hiding. He is usually very far away and inaccessible to the player, he is also not playable.

Trivia

Pappagg

Pappagg is Camie the mermaid's pet starfish. Interestingly Camie also refers to Pappagg as her master, as Pappagg is apparently a very talented fashion designer under whom Camie studies. He can speak in the human language because when he was young he believed he was a human child, but by the time he realized he was not a human he had already absorbed much of the language and culture of humans. This is a pun, because if Japanese, hito means human, and hitode means starfish. He also has a tendency to break into song spontaneously.

Patty

Patty is one of the cooks of the Baratie, who doesn't always see eye to eye with Sanji. He, along with Carne, contribute to helping defend the restaurant from Don Krieg. His kinder side shows when he tries to save Gin after he breathed in poison gas.

Like Franky, Patty physically resembles Popeye, though he has a much larger build thus looking like Popeye's rival Bluto. He has a very business-minded attitude towards customers: those who pay get good and friendly service & those that don't get the boot. However, he admits that maybe Sanji is sometimes right to feed the people he throws out. He tends to unknowingly insult his customers when he greets them.

In the 4Kids dub, Patty has an Irish accent.

According to SBS, Patty comes form the French word "Patisserie" (confectionery). Patty is also an Argentinian (Spanish derivate) word for Hamburger.

Trivia

Pagaya

Conis's father and a brilliant inventor from Skypiea who fixes the waver Nami rides. Pagaya was thought dead as Enel attacked him while he was helping an injured member of the Royal Guard, who had just revealed Enel's plans to destroy Skypeia. But he resurfaces later, alive and well. He helps the Straw Hat Pirates despite the fact that they were labeled as criminals for not paying their toll fee. He has a habit of apologizing for everything; even things that he isn't even responsible for, or things that warrant no apology whatsoever (introducing himself, accepting a drink, etc.).

Pell

Pell (ペル Peru) is one of the commanders of the Alabastan guard and the strongest fighter in Alabasta. He ate the Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Falcon (トリトリの実 モデル隼(ファルコン) Bird Bird Fruit, Model Falcon, called the "Tweet Tweet Fruit" in the English anime) and thus can transform into a falcon, and has earned him the nickname "Peregrine Falcon Pell" due to his bird powers. The fruit is apparently one of five that have been discovered that give the user the ability to fly. Since the fruit is a Zoan type, he has 3 types of transformations meaning that he can turn into a falcon or a man/falcon hybrid, as well as maintain his natural human form.

He fights against Miss All-Sunday in an attempt to protect Vivi but is taken by surprise by her Devil Fruit ability and thus defeated. After the fight he helps save Luffy and carries him to Alubarna. During the Alabasta Arc, Sir Crocodile had set up a massive bomb to blow up the capital city Alubarna, he was shot by Miss Fathersday. Princess Nefertari Vivi and the Straw Hats managed to find the bomb but couldn't disarm it. Pell manage to find the strawhat and sacrificed himself by carrying the bomb high into the sky where it exploded harmlessly. However, near the end of the Alabasta arc, a shop owner is calling to a person who left his hat that looked supiciously like Pell. He was proven alive and well at the end of the Alabasta Arc when he approaches his own grave in disturbed astonishment (although that scene is not in the manga). In the end of Rainbow Mist Arc (filler) Igaram picked up the last Rainbow Mist book and in the background Pell and Vivi can be seen talking together. Pell was again seen when Kohza's uncle and ex-Priest Gedatsu opened up a tunnel from Alabasta to a hot spring resort. In One Piece Movie 8 during the ending theme song, Vivi is seen running towards Pell hugging him and surprise that he's alive.

Pell was seen again in Chapter 439; shocked to see Nico Robin (or to him Miss All Sunday) is part of the Straw Hats. Shocked again when Vivi was not surprised by this news. He is not dead!

  • He is Vivi's support character and is ranked a jump type.

Rika

A little girl living in Shell Town who helps Zoro by offering him onigiri but he refuses and tells her to go away. Helmeppo then walks in and takes them for himself but then spits them out because the rice balls were sweetened with sugar. Helmeppo orders the naval marine standing behind him to throw her out but is caught by Monkey D. Luffy.

The reason Zoro was captured by the Marines was because he defended Rika and the villagers from Helmeppo and his wild dog.

Rika becomes friends with both Helmeppo and Koby during their stay in Shell Town, and becomes upset when the two leave with Vice-Admiral Garp.

She appears in the Filler/Special 6/episode 303 as a friend to Usopp's Pirates.

Ririka

The mother of Rika who lives and owns a restaurant in Shell Town. Zoro protected Rika and the other villagers from Helmeppo and his dog when they entered her restaurant. Her name was revealed in One Piece BLUE: Grand Data File.

Roji

Roji was Nico Robin's arrogant and cruel aunt on the island of Ohara. Roji's husband was Nico Olvia's brother and was the only caretaker who was kind to Robin. When Olvia left to study history, her brother took Robin in, to Roji's dismay. Roji proved callous towards Robin and always threatened to hit her if she did not stop crying. However, Roji's husband intervened on Robin's behalf. Roji left stale bread and jam for Robin when she went out and gave her many chores. After Robin met Saul, she took all the jam and bread to give to him, making Roji scream in anger. She dies, presumably, when Ohara is completely obliterated by the Buster Call.

Roshio the Executioner

A pirate who was said to have a bounty of 42 Million Bellies on him. Roshio is seen playing card with Bellamy the Hyena in the starting chapters of the Jaya arc. While he wins fairly, Bellamy challenges then kills him by knocking him out of the top floor of the building they were in with his Devil Fruit powers. Upon seeing Roshio's crew down in the streets trying to carry him to get some much-needed medical attention, Bellamy then leaps down to finish him off with his Spring Hopper technique. His Jolly Roger was apparently a hanged man on red, as seen in his headband.

Sam-San

Sam-San (Full title: "Ordinary everyday person" Sam-San) is a random drunk that appears in One Piece on very rare occasions. The idea behind him is the same as Pandaman, only he is much rarer to see and normally less noticed. His first appearance was during the Arlong arc when everyone was celebrating Arlong's defeat. His story according to Oda was he was on his way home from his daughter's wedding, drunk, saw a party and decided to join in.[10]

Sam appeared in the Loguetown arc in the anime, in which he was a judge for a cooking competition for East-Blue's best cook wherein Sanji participated and won.

He is next seen in the Alabasta arc in the manga. Oda went on to explain he was there because his second daughter was getting married. He also said his wife had left him when their eldest was 8 and he ended up raising all his daughters on his own. The second daughter was apparently the trouble maker and despite the trouble she gave him, when she got married he went out and got drunk because it saddened him to see that she was leaving. Somehow he ended up in Alabasta after having too many drinks.[11] Sam-san has also been seen during the beginning of the Fourth One Piece Movie: The Dead End Adventure.

Sam is one of Oda's jokes in the SBS corner, although if truth be known it was more likely just a less than serious answer Oda came up with to answer the question on why the same random drunk was in a two different panels in the manga. Sam-San has made few appearances in the Manga, he has however featured in the background of the One Piece anime on several occasions.

Scratchmen Apoo

Scratchmen Apoo (スクラッチメン・アプー, Sukuracchimen Apū) is a powerful pirate in the Shabondy Archipelago with a bounty of 198,000,000. He is the captain of the On Air Pirates. He is known as "The Roar of the Sea".

Trivia

  • He is modeled after many musical instruments. His teeth resemble a piano because of the black parts in the gaps, he wears headphones, his hair is shaped as guitar strings, and his fighting pose resembles a DJ.

Shujin

The owner of Drum Island's stool shop and father of Tamachibi. When Doctor Kureha told him the cost of her services, he believed he was being ripped off and that his son's injury was minor until Tamachibi thanked the doctor for making his leg feel much better.

Silvers Rayleigh

Famous coating mechanic on the Shabondy Archipelago. Former second in command of Gold Roger's pirate crew. Like Shanks, Silvers has a monstrous "spiritual intent" that can make pass out weak people.

Suu

Suu is Conis's cloud fox during the Skypiea arc. He resembles a Desert fox, or Fennec Fox.

Tamachibi

The son of the owner of the Drum Island stool shop who suffered from a leg injury. While Sanji and Luffy were on their way up to find Doctor Kureha, she was busy treating his leg.

Terracotta

Igaram's wife, and the Royal Head Chef who appears very late in the Alabasta arc. Terracotta also looks amost identical to Igaram, even having the same voice, thus prompting some characters to accuse her of being Igaram in drag. Zoro has said, "A couple can only look so much alike!" when he first saw her.

Tom

Tom was a powerful long-horned pufferfish-type Fish-man, known as the most skilled shipwright in the world. Tom is responsible for building the Oro Jackson, Gold Roger's ship, which got him into trouble with the Navy and the World Government. Although building a ship for pirates is generally not considered a crime (as the shipwrights have no control over who mans their ships), a special case had to be made for Tom because his client was the Pirate King.

To escape what would be a cruel and unnecessary fate, Tom made an agreement with the judge: given 10 years, he could save his dying home city of Water 7, by constructing an unprecedented Sea Train which could traverse even the roughest of weather to deliver and receive goods and services. Thus, Tom's trial went into recess for a decade, to reconvene after the Sea Train's completion.

However, Tom was also the holder of a blueprint for Pluton, an ancient warship of power so great that its name survived the passage of time (or perhaps the cataclysm) that blotted out most of the world's history. This is the same Pluton that Crocodile was seeking in Alabasta.

Tom's possession of the blueprint led other factions of the Government to seek it: of note, a man named Spandam, who was at the time working for Cipher Pol No. 5, a secret governmental organization not overseen by the Navy. Spandam, in an effort to secure the blueprints, hired people to steal and man the ships of Tom's student, Cutty Flam, to attack Water Seven at the resumption of Tom's trial. Since Tom had a pardon for his crime of building a pirate ship for the Pirate King, he asked it to be used for the crime of the ships attacking Water 7, thus reinstating his original sentence. Tom was escorted on the train he built to Enies Lobby, where he was allegedly executed shortly thereafter.

Like some of the other characters of One Piece, Tom had a unique laugh, he started it with a "Ta" (i.e. ta ha ha ha ha!)

Tonjit

One of the nomads that live on Long Ring Long Land, he was trapped on a pair of very tall stilts for ten years, causing him to be separated from the rest of the nomads. After the Straw Hat Pirates got him down, he lamented that he couldn't get to the rest of the nomads because of the high tides, but was nonetheless reunited with his long horse, or hooooorse, Shelly. The horse however was later captured by Foxy, which prompted the Davy Back Fight. After Luffy finally beat Foxy, Aokiji appeared and used his Devil Fruit powers to freeze all of the water on the island for a week, allowing Tonjit to ride his horse Shelly across the water in order to meet up with his clan. In the anime, instead of Aokiji, Tonjit's grandson appeared from the ground, riding a mole which gave Tonjit transport.

Tonjit's clothing, nomadic lifestyle, his horse, and his dwelling in a yurt seems to be based on the lifestyles of the nomadic peoples of Central Asia (specifically Mongolia.)

Toto

Toto, "Tutu" in the English anime and "Toh-Toh" in the English manga, is Koza's father, and the only man left living in the deserted city of Yuba. He constantly digs for water in order to possibly revive the town, but Sir Crocodile torments him by sending sandstorms to the area every time Toto is about to find water. Despite this however, Toto's strong will kept him going until rain finally fell throughout Alabasta. He became friends with Luffy because Luffy helped him to dig for water. During Vivi's speech about her adventures with the Straw Hats Toto was the only one to understand what Vivi was talking about.

About 10 years ago, he was overweight, now he is thin and starving.

Trafalgar Law

Trafalgar Law (トラファルガー・ロー, Torafarugā Rō) is a powerful pirate in the Shabondy Archipelago with a bounty of 200,000,000. He is the captain of the Heart Pirates. He is known as "The Dark Doctor". His pirate flag resembles Doflamingo's pirate flag, a white smiley face, but whether they have any relation is still unknown.

Urouge

Urouge (ウルージ, Urūji) is a powerful pirate in the Shabondy Archipelago with a bounty of 108,000,000. He is the captain of the Fallen Monk Pirates. He is from the Sky Islands. He is known as "The Mystery Monk".

Usopp's Pirates



Usopp's Pirates (called the Veggie Pirates in the English anime) comprise three village children who join Usopp in telling lies and other assorted games. They later assist Kaya in her escape when Captain Kuro plans to kill her. The names of the members are Ninjin (meaning "Carrot", Carrot in the dub), Tamanegi (meaning Onion, Onion in the dub), and Piman (meaning green pepper, Pepper in the dub). Later when Usopp is leaving Ninjin says he wants to be a bar owner, Tamanegi wants to be a writer and Piman wants to be an engineer. The boys were recently seen in manga chapter 440, discovering Usopp's Sogeking bounty poster. The Usopp Pirates and Kaya knew it was Usopp, just by looking at his nose. The boys also mention that Usopp better not hurt her (referring to Kaya). They were also seen as in episode 303/filler episode special. The boys are voiced in the US anime series from 4Kids by Kevin Kolack.

X Drake

X Drake (X・ドレーク, X Dorēku) is a powerful pirate in the Shabondy Archipelago with a bounty of 222,000,000. He is the captain of the Drake Pirates. He is known as "The Red Flag". He is a former Navel Officer though it is unknown why he left the Navy.

Yokozuna

A giant sumo-wrestling frog, he was a family member of the legendary shipright Tom until Tom's execution. After that, he would always swim through the waters around Water 7, stepping in the way of the Sea Train to try and stop it. This habit is said to be caused by Yokozuna wanting to become stronger so he won't lose anymore of his loved ones. This habit also caused him to try and stop the Rocket Man while the Straw Hat Pirates, Galley-La Foremen, and Franky Family were travelling towards Enies Lobby, and he ends up helping them in their attempt to get Franky and Nico Robin back. While on Enies Lobby, he is in charge of preventing any government agents from getting into the courthouse, and does well until the Jurors arrive and attack. He is then saved by the giants Oimo and Kaashii, who decide to help him guard the courthouse. Yokozuna boarded the sea train with the Franky Family, the Galley-La, and the giants and has since returned to Water 7.

Zeff


Zeff is a former pirate known as "Red-Leg"(Red-shoe in the 4Kids version, and volume 6 of One Piece) Zeff is also Sanji's mentor. He is currently head chef on the floating restaurant Baratie.

When Sanji was a young boy, the ship he worked on was attacked by Zeff's pirate crew, the cook pirates. He had the guts to attack Zeff himself, claiming that he wanted to live in order to find the mythical sea "All Blue" (Great Blue in the 4Kids version), Zeff's own dream as well. During the skirmish, a fierce storm wiped out both Sanji's ship and the pirate ship, nearly drowning Sanji. Zeff went into the water to save the boy because they shared the same dream. In the anime, Zeff's leg caught on debris during the rescue, and he had to cut it off to get Sanji and save them both [9]. He does this by wrapping a chain around the trapped leg and letting the force of the ships sever it, however in the manga he and Sanji were deserted on a barren island, where Zeff gave Sanji all the food since he needed it the most and ate his own leg for the boys sake.

After the rescue, they were washed up onto a tall, rocky island by a wave. There was no food on it, and no way to get to the sea and back to land for fish. Unknown to Sanji, Zeff gave all of the food that had washed ashore with them to the young boy and kept none for himself (In the manga, he still had both his legs but cuts off his right leg and eats it to keep himself alive). After eighty or more days with little food they were finally rescued, and Zeff swore that if he made it off the island alive, he would open a restaurant on the sea and serve anyone who was hungry, whether they be naval marine or pirate. Moments after revealing his dream, Zeff and Sanji are rescued by a passing ship.

Years later, Zeff makes good on his promise and opens Baratie, a floating restaurant shaped like a fish, famous for its amazing food and fighting cooks. Even with a peg leg, Zeff's kicks can still kill a man and he passed the art on to Sanji. When Luffy comes to the restaurant and defeats Don Krieg, Zeff encourages Sanji to leave the restaurant to pursue his dream for both their sakes. He also offers to give Luffy his log book that records the days he spent on the Grand Line, but Luffy refuses, saying he wants to create his own adventure and not recreate that of another. He returns in Chapter 440, very proud of Sanji's bounty.

Zeff never used his hands to hit someone (except from one time when he uses his fist to hit Sanji, this in an attempt to persuade Sanji to join Luffy's crew); he uses only his kicks (gaining his "Red Leg" title, by the blood stains on his shoes after a fight). According to Don Krieg, his kicks were strong enough to engrave metal and to destroy stone. Also, by kicking the air, he could create gusts strong enough to put out a fire (he can still do this, even with a peg leg). Zeff was one of the few to hurt Luffy with a physical attack.

In the manga Zeff has a tendency to call Sanji "Tiny Eggplant" and Sanji calls him "Shitty Geezer" in return. In the English dub of the anime, Zeff has a tendency to call Sanji "String Bean" and in return Sanji calls him "Ol' geezer".
