8 years until the Great Pirate Era begins.
Affiliation: Witch Crew
Mother Ship: Sombrero
Kanata
The protagonist. 17 years old. Natural Logia-type Ice-Ice Fruit ice human.
Dragon-Slayer Witch - Bounty: 1.5 Billion Berries
Captain and Navigator.
Black-haired, red-eyed beauty. Leveled up again through combat experience with Shiki and Linlin, plus closely observing Octavia's fighting.
Possesses two Log Poses each (including spares) for the first and second halves of the Grand Line.
Also possesses Eternal Poses to Providence Kingdom, Hachinosu, Dressrosa, and Drum Kingdom.
Main weapon is a spear carved from Sea King fangs.
Can use all three types of Haki—Conqueror's, Armament, and Observation—at high levels.
Her Haki mastery has increased; when extremely concentrated, it now turns blue-purple.
Spent tumultuous days picking a fight with Golden Lion Shiki and being ambushed by Big Mom Charlotte Linlin.
As if that weren't enough, Octavia appeared, making things even worse.
That aside, she gained combat experience and could observe a higher level closely, so her abilities improved.
Taking the opportunity, she commissioned a new ship at Water Seven. The same size as Navy warships, it can hold up to 800 people maximum.
She was slightly troubled by insufficient manpower to operate it.
There was a commotion when naming the ship, but since everyone suggested terrible names, Kanata unilaterally named it the "Sombrero." "Sounds like it'll get cut down," she herself commented.
Real name: Rocks D. Novem
Descendant of a clan that once existed in a certain kingdom. Her role will eventually be inherited from Octavia.
She first heard about her father from Octavia but is disgusted because everyone she asks curses him as worthless.
She technically recognizes Roger, Garp, and his son Dragon as her father's killers, but has no particular feelings since "I'm told they're the enemy of a father I never met."
Junshi
Man characterized by red hair and muscular physique. 30 years old.
Six Harmony Great Spear - Bounty: 300 Million Berries
Combatant.
Can use Armament and Observation Haki.
Repeatedly went wild against Golden Lion's subordinate pirate crews, getting called a mad dog.
He seemed dissatisfied having only naval battles against the Golden Lion Pirates, but was satisfied fighting Streusen and Daifuku when the Big Mom Pirates ambushed them.
While the new ship was being built, he handled combat training to make the new recruits minimally useful.
Their performance apparently isn't very good.
Kuro
Black-haired, black-eyed, dark-skinned youth covered in tattoos. 24 years old.
Natural Logia-type Dark-Dark Fruit darkness human.
(Supposedly) (Self-proclaimed) Combatant.
During the Golden Lion Pirates battle, he was basically useless so focused on ship operations.
During the Big Mom Pirates battle, while staying out of the way, he dominated small fry with his ability. His ability is strong enough that he won't easily lose.
Since carelessly attracting ability users could get him beaten, he maintained moderate distance from Zen.
His palate was refined in Pucchi the Gourmet Town, so he tried cooking but often ruined ingredients and got scolded.
At Water Seven, he apparently spent his free time food-hopping with Zen.
Jorge
Black-haired, black-eyed man about two meters tall. 32 years old.
Treasurer.
Has decent combat ability, can fight evenly with a Headquarters Captain. However, can't use Haki, so disadvantaged against Logia types.
Though his direct strength can't compare to Kanata's group, he usually acts as the brains, commanding operations.
The treasury swelled every time they crushed a Golden Lion subordinate crew, so he searched frantically daily. His face was beaming with temporary bonuses, but after using almost everything to build the new ship, he exudes melancholy before the empty treasury.
He taught new recruits at Water Seven about ship rules.
By showing the bisected Sea King saying "this is what happens if you don't comply," they nodded with pale faces.
Scotch
Blond-haired, blue-eyed, slightly chubby man wearing sunglasses. 32 years old.
Navigator.
Strong sense of honor and humanity; on islands ravaged by Golden Lion subordinate crews, he sympathized with islanders and left some money and food.
In Pucchi, there was so much delicious food he gained more weight (apparently).
Fought fearlessly against both the Golden Lion and Big Mom Pirates. The latter especially involved directly crossing blades rather than naval combat, so he made a sour face at the crew's high level.
"There was a round kid like an egg mixed in who was pretty strong," he commented.
Feiyun
Giant. Female characterized by long pale purple hair and amethyst-purple eyes. 40 years old.
Paramecia Size-Size Fruit giantification human. Maximum length 173 meters.
Giant Shadow - Bounty: 230 Million Berries
Combatant.
Can use Armament and Observation Haki. Being born able to use Observation Haki, she excels at reading emotions.
When dealing with Golden Lion subordinate crews, she often giantified and flipped ships wholesale, feared even by islanders.
When facing the main ship, she was busy moving sails in the storm, accidentally slipped and snapped the mainmast, leaving her depressed for a while.
When fighting the Big Mom Pirates, she made a difficult face facing Linlin, but the person in question only had eyes for Kanata and didn't care.
Since the battle was on ice, giantifying too much risked cracking the ice, so she fought as-is. Though no opponents matched her size, the biscuit ability user was scurrying underfoot, so she fought by trampling and sweeping.
The previous ship had no giant-sized rooms—she'd knocked down walls in the large room to make space—so hearing the new ship would have a giant-sized private room made her look forward to it.
For food procurement, she line-fished Sea Kings.
Incidentally, she's the most feared by new recruits, more than anyone else.
Zen
Black bay horse (?) Mink. 39 years old.
Red Bay - Bounty: 330 Million Berries
Combatant.
His actual coat is black bay, but his Sulong transformation turns red, hence the "Red Bay" name.
Bought too much delicious food in Pucchi, couldn't fit it in his room, and self-funded refrigerator expansion.
During the Golden Lion Pirates battle, shot down incoming cannonballs one after another; during the Big Mom Pirates battle, fought Linlin's sons and daughters, overwhelming the Homies.
Afterward, he food-hopped around Water Seven with Kuro.
Apparently met a chef making dishes with special salt brought by Aqua Laguna and savored them thoroughly.
Samuel
Muscular giant about three meters tall. Bald. 29 years old.
Zoan Cat-Cat Fruit Model "Jaguar" ability user.
Combatant.
Can only use Armament Haki. That said, he's only at the basic stage, so depends on future training.
Kanata's ship's rare beast slot.
Against Golden Lion subordinates, he never lost but went on raids with Junshi calling them good practice partners. Apparently he can use Armament Haki reasonably well now.
Uncertain if it's from becoming an ability user, but he apparently became sensitive to heat and lamented being unable to eat piping hot takoyaki.
Scura
Disheveled white hair, about two meters tall, slender with mean-looking handsome features. 26 years old.
Ship Doctor.
Recently started thinking he might be able to use Observation Haki for examinations.
Barely involved in combat, stayed in the rear.
On islands under Golden Lion subordinate crew control, he treated injured people and was approached by women everywhere. He had no interest and ignored them.
Occasionally mutters wanting to dissect Kanata due to her superhuman recovery, but she refuses. Still not giving up, he occasionally extracts blood under the pretext of checkups.
Recognized by new recruits as the second person after Kanata they can't defy (because refusing means no treatment for injuries or illness).
David
Spiky-haired sea urchin man. About 180cm tall. 35 years old.
Paramecia Bomb-Bomb Fruit bomb human.
Bombardment - Bounty: 70 Million
Still can't use Haki.
Gaining experience fighting Golden Lion subordinate crews, but still no signs of Haki awakening.
During the Golden Lion naval battle, his "Breath Bombs" wreaked havoc again, but ships of great pirates competing for supremacy in the New World didn't fall easily.
During the Big Mom Pirates battle, he had the advantage against Perospero but made a fool of himself and got thoroughly scolded by Junshi afterward.
Fisher Tiger
Canon character. Sea bream fishman. Over five meters tall. 28 years old.
Helmsman.
Claims to be an adventurer but is half-pirate, though he doesn't particularly care and seems to enjoy himself daily.
Fought pirates without retreating a step, but islanders under their control avoided him just for being a fishman (Feiyun was avoided more for her monstrous strength lifting ships).
Food-hopped and bought alcohol—he seems quite fond of traveling on Kanata's ship.
Was active in both naval and ice battles.
Afterward, at Water Seven, he rushed around procuring food with Feiyun.
Dragon
Canon character. Man with physique exceeding two meters. 23 years old.
Combatant (also staff role).
Having a head above the rest in intelligence among the crew, Kanata increasingly treats him as staff. She sometimes asks opinions from Jorge, Scotch, and Junshi, but they're often short-sighted, so Dragon apparently offers more flexibility.
Also being Hero Garp's son, he functioned as a bridge between Garp and Kanata. Kanata thinks she was "lucky" having him aboard, as this connection led to repelling the Golden Lion, contact with Celestial Dragons, and harmonizing relations with the Navy.
Only veteran crew members know they're parent and child; new recruits aren't told.
During both Golden Lion and Big Mom Pirates battles, he fully displayed his abilities, running the fights advantageously.
Affiliation: Navy
Belk
Silver-haired, blue-eyed giant wearing glasses. 23 years old.
Navy Headquarters Commodore. Garp's disciple and subordinate.
Can use Armament and Observation Haki at high levels.
Apparently has a beautiful girlfriend back home whose voice sounds somewhat like Kanata's.
Promoted from Captain to Commodore for military achievements in the Big Mom Pirates battle. Work increased but he gained subordinates, and Garp often entrusts him with ships now.
Never neglects training but increasingly gets headaches from Celestial Dragon unreasonable demands.
Becoming a hard worker in various senses.
Garp
Canon character. Man characterized by close-cropped hair and beard around his mouth. 46 years old.
Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral. "Fist" Garp, or "Hero of the Navy"
Contacted Kanata through Dragon as intermediary. Dislikes Celestial Dragons but doesn't hate Saint Homing's ideology itself. Still finds authoritarian commands annoying.
Has various thoughts about Kanata being Octavia's daughter, but unlike her mother, she doesn't tolerate killing comrades or trying to ravage the seas, so he's leaving her alone for now, thinking he should deal with her later.
When the Big Mom Pirates and Witch crew clashed, hearing Octavia appeared, he demolished about five mountains for warmup. After fierce Navy protests, Fleet Admiral Kong put him under house arrest. Unavoidable.
Affiliation: Former Rocks Pirates
Octavia
Woman with lustrous black hair, jade-green eyes, always wearing a golden skull mask.
Natural Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit lightning human.
Echo Octavia - Bounty: 3.5 Billion Berries
Left-handed, but currently her left arm didn't move from aftereffects of battle with an Admiral... but after treatment on Drum, it moves somewhat.
Basically uses a spear but can also use swords. Having someone to reference nearby, her sword style naturally resembles theirs.
Though her abilities should have declined considerably from her blank period and aftereffects, she still possesses such overwhelming strength that she defeated both Linlin and Streusen simultaneously.
Just a report of this one woman appearing caused uproar in the Navy and World Government upper echelons.
Affiliation: None
Saint Donquixote Homing
Canon character. Celestial Dragon.
Person who didn't imitate descending to the lower world after meeting Kanata. Doflamingo's Celestial Dragon life seemed secure, but Homing used authority to make the Navy's work harder and repeatedly contacted the pirate who killed his brother, causing problems.
Ultimately his ideology also became problematic and he was exiled from Mary Geoise.
He was sent down to a North Blue non-World Government affiliated country.
His son Doflamingo irrationally resents Kanata.
Katerina
Girl characterized by wavy brown hair and blue eyes. Calls herself a genius. 10 years old.
Girl picked up by Octavia through various circumstances.
From her bearing and intelligence, she seems to be from a good family, but she doesn't particularly talk about it. Neither Kureha nor Octavia are interested, so they leave her alone.
Currently on Drum Kingdom, while attending Octavia's treatment, she's learning medicine from Kureha.
