Appearance

Blond hair grown long frames A A A's face, matched by a beard of the same shade. He stands tall, dressed in a blue jacket over a black tank top, with oversized camouflage pads capping the shoulders. A bandana striped in dark red and black wraps his head, and a linework tattoo marks his left shoulder.

Personality

Little has been revealed about the man beyond his daring streak. The fact that he willingly enters a contest as deadly as the Dead End Race, whether chasing the prize money or simply the thrill of it, marks him as a reckless sort. His low bounty suggests he is no powerhouse, yet he carries enough nerve and confidence to compete among hardened captains.

History

He first turns up at the bar where the Straw Hats are eating, ordering a drink and asking the bartender whether he has reached Hannabal. Once that is confirmed, he slides two coins of one hundred Berries across the counter, the secret password into the hidden venue hosting the Dead End Race. Nami catches the exchange, which prompts the Straw Hats to enter the race themselves.

After the contest starts, his vessel reaches what the crew assume is Partia. In truth they have fallen for Gasparde's scheme, their Eternal Pose a fake that instead steers them toward the Marine stronghold of Navarone. As cannon fire tears the ship apart, a crewmate urges him to abandon it, and A A A is still shouting in confusion about the island when a final shot finishes the ship off.
