Appearance

His hair is styled to echo the winged shape of the Baroque Works emblem. Covering his torso is a striped shirt in grey and black, paired with a white scarf dotted in black around the neck and a sash knotted at the waist in place of a belt. He took on disguises more than once, dressing as a royal guard while his boss impersonated King Cobra, and posing as Chopper to draw Hina away from the Straw Hats.

Personality

Loyalty to Mr. 2 defined Akumai, since he stuck by his leader at all times and ultimately laid down his life alongside the rest of the group. He also shares Mr. 2's fondness for ballet dancing.

History

Mr. 2 Bon Kurei steered the Swanda Express toward Little Garden on Mr. 0's order to kill Mr. 3, with Akumai among his crew. When the target proved nowhere to be found, the men turned back toward Arabasta at top speed under instructions to intercept any ship along the way. On the road to Spiders Cafe they drilled in Okama Kenpo, and Mr. 1 arrived to knock Akumai and several agents clean through the cafe wall. Akumai later joined his leader in posing as the royal guard alongside Nefertari Cobra to set Nanohana ablaze. In the end he and the rest were captured by Hina after sacrificing themselves for the Straw Hats, and his fate afterward remains unknown. Little of his combat skill was ever shown, though he trained in Okama Kenpo, counted as a master of disguise, and appeared dual-wielding two swords before facing Hina's squad.
