Albion, nicknamed Gashed Albion, is a rookie pirate captain with a 92,000,000 berry bounty who was tricked into joining the Fake Straw Hat Crew at Sabaody, mistaking the impostors for the genuine article.
Nearly all of Albion's body sits beneath layers of bandages, and his head is the most striking part of him: a pale, oval skull swaddled from scalp to brow, leaving only the lowest portion free for his actual face. A long black ponytail spills out from under the wrappings at the back. He dresses in a captain's coat, with a collar bearing twin buttons each marked with the letter A, a tie in shades of red and maroon knotted at his throat, and a dark yellow sash circling his middle.
For weapons he favors edged steel. Three slim daggers ride on his right hip, and he is also pictured gripping a curved blade in his left hand.
During Caribou's clash with the Marines, Albion stayed composed yet plainly irritated by the man's behavior. Like countless others gathered at Sabaody, he swallowed the Fake Straw Hats' performance without a second thought, his hunger for fame across the seas likely overriding any suspicion about Demalo Black's claims. The moment the deception unraveled, his calm vanished. He turned on the fraud, charging that the weakling had exploited the reputation of the real Luffy, whom the world believed dead, and dismissing Black as worthless trash carrying a paltry 26 million bounty. As Sentomaru noted, Albion and the rest of the duped recruits had simply been foolish.
His true strength remains mostly a mystery, though circumstance suggests real capability: he reached Sabaody Archipelago and stood on the verge of Super Rookie status, then slipped away from Sentomaru's platoon while many fellow recruits were rounded up. With at least four bladed tools to his name, he reads as a swordsman. He grips three daggers between the fingers of his right hand and wields them like claws, a method echoing Buggy's knife technique, while a curved sword occupies his left hand.

When I first decided to commit to watching One Piece seriously, I knew I was embarking on one of anime's longest and most beloved series. With over 100...

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....
