Alto
CharacterAlto is a minor villain among the Ganzack Pirates, appearing in the One Piece OVA. An ordinary pirate with no special powers, he helped enslave Medaka's homeland before falling to Luffy.
Appearance
Lanky and tall, Alto has brown hair and keeps to plain clothing, a simple red shirt worn with matching pants.
Personality
He shares his captain's ruthless streak and thinks nothing of threatening children. That cruelty comes with cowardice, though, since after a single loss to Luffy he was too rattled to even meet the boy's gaze.
History
Alto carries no special abilities and fights as a regular pirate, seen holding a glaive that he never actually puts to use. Serving the Ganzack Pirates, he took part in conquering and enslaving Medaka's homeland. Alongside Chico he patrolled the island's shore, scouting for anything worth hauling back to the Devil's Tower. The two were about to carry off Luffy's unconscious body when Medaka interrupted them, leading them on a chase that bought enough time for Luffy to wake and quickly beat them both. Later they stood guard over the prisoners and briefly blocked Medaka's push into the Tower, only to be frightened off once more by Luffy.
