Ann (Romance Dawn)

Ann is a small girl whose short light blue hair is fixed with a pink clip, set off by matching light blue eyes. Her outfit is a short-sleeved white shirt patterned with aqua green stripes, worn above a light blue skirt accented by thin white lines.

Quick to anger, Ann has little patience and snaps easily, growing especially irritated whenever Luffy does something foolish. She proves tough enough to endure the hardships of the voyage and skilled with a blade, holding her own against one of Shupeal's crew before escaping thanks to Balloon.

Ann had been friends with the Roc Balloon since childhood. When Shupeal discovered the creature, he leveled their hometown and seized Ann to lure Balloon out. Taken aboard the pirate ship, she warned Luffy to keep away, but he hauled Balloon onto the deck anyway and insulted Shupeal, landing them both in the brig. There Ann shared her history with Balloon while masking the real reason for her capture.

After Luffy stretched free of the cell, Ann went to rescue Balloon alone, defeated a crewman, and was promised the Roc's release, only for Shupeal to shoot her in the back. Luffy then revealed his rubber body, knocked Shupeal down, and chased after the pirate when he fled on a broomstick with Balloon, destroying the ship behind him. Ann confessed the truth of her abduction, and once Luffy retrieved Balloon she reunited with her friend and flew off, wishing him luck on his dream.

The character stands as Oda's second pass at a Nami-like companion, sharing her hot temper and impatience yet, unlike Silk before her, showing no sign of being meant to join Luffy's crew. When the anime adapted the draft in Episode 907, Ann was voiced by the same actors as Nami in both Japanese and English.
