Personality

Anikin once felt unable to break away from his criminal path, confessing that he had drifted too far to turn back even though robbing people was never truly what he wanted. That regret surfaced only after his defeat, revealing a man pulled into wrongdoing more by circumstance and bad company than by genuine malice.

Abilities

Physical power is Anikin's strong suit; even in his youth he could overpower the average pirate. He fights with a sword that has a golden hilt and a black grip. Growing up alongside Otogin in crushing poverty, the brothers nearly starved and turned to bounty hunting out of desperation, handing captured pirates to the Marines. Success drew shadier companions to Anikin's side, and he gradually shifted toward preying on wealthy innocents for their money. Returning to Nanohana after his travels, he was set upon by the Straw Hat Pirates, whom Otogin had persuaded to halt his brother's crimes; Anikin went down fast and owned up to how far he had strayed.
