Profile
Vice Warden (Headliner) of the Udon Excavation Labor Camp under the Beasts Pirates. A Hippo SMILE user — a grotesque hippo-man fusion whose enormous hippo maw is his “chamber of slaughter” (he swallows prisoners whole). Cruel and gluttonous; enraged that Luffy and Eustass Kid devoured the storehouse food. First appearance Ch. 926.

- Caption introduces him: “Vice Warden (Headliner): DOBON — Hippo SMILE Fruit” (p. 14). His belly-/head-hippo’s mouth “will close whenever it feels like it” — a SMILE-defect tell.
- Stomps the elderly prisoner “Old Man Hyo”, then swallows Luffy & Eustass Kid into his hippo “chamber of slaughter” — who blast free and defeat him from inside (pp. 14-17).
- Etymology done : “Dobon” (どぼん) is the Japanese onomatopoeia for a heavy splash/plop into water — apt for a semi-aquatic hippo (his Hippo SMILE). See frontmatter
etymology. The name encodes a visual/animal gag, not a plot reveal — no Foreshadowing entry filed.
