Sanji is a fashionable and talented chef who fuels his charm and flirtatious ways into his table service. When we meet him, he’s working at the restaurant Baratie under Chef Zeff. Sanji’s greatest dream is to find the All Blue, which is said to be the only place in the world where fish from all four seas — East Blue, West Blue, North Blue, and South Blue — can be found. For the record: He hates oregano and believes everyone in need should be provided with a meal.

Luffy meets Koby as an insecure and reluctant member of Alvida’s pirate crew on her ship, Miss Love Duck.

Helmeppo is the vain, inept, and spoiled son of Captain “Axe Hand” Morgan.

Langley Kirkwood as Captain “Axe Hand” Morgan
Captain “Axe Hand” Morgan is in charge of the Marine base. He has a metal prosthetic in place of his lower jaw and an axe for a hand. Every part of his body is a weapon and he uses it to create fear, especially in his son, Helmeppo.

Buggy
As a young pirate, Buggy ate the Devil Fruit known as the Chop-Chop Fruit, and can now dismantle his body into pieces. Like Luffy, he was given these powers after eating this fruit, but the sea can take them away. He’s unhinged, maniacal — and don’t talk to him about his nose.
