Profile

Minor one-off character. A captured pirate captain (bounty 11 million) auctioned at the Sabaody Human Auctioning House as a “human horse”/“sandbag,” billed by the auctioneer as “a notoriously clever trickster” (Ch. 502 page 4).

Arc-by-arc updates

Sabaody Archipelago — on the auction block (Ch. 502)

• Brought out as a lot at the slave auction; rather than be sold into slavery he bites his own tongue in a suicide attempt (page 5), which the auctioneer publicly covers up as a fainting/nosebleed (page 6) so the house can pull him and re-auction him later. A grim beat illustrating the brutality of the Sabaody slave trade under the Celestial Dragons.

Notes

• One-off auction lot; no further role established in-window.
