Aunt

Aunt is a heavyset woman with a notably large face set with small eyes and a small nose, framed by orange hair. She wears a short yellow top decorated with flowers over black trousers, cinched with a maroon sash at the waist, and jade bracelets ring her wrists.

Headstrong but kindhearted, she regards her orphans as genuine offspring and bristles whenever anyone points out they share no blood. She carries this to an almost comic extreme, insisting that Zoro, a complete stranger her boys look up to as a big brother, is also her son and refusing every denial. In spirit she mirrors how Bell-mere raised Nami and Nojiko, fiercely defending children she never gave birth to.

For all her size, Aunt is startlingly strong and nimble. She wrestled Zoro to the ground, drew remarks about her power from the swordsman, and backflipped clear of him during their scuffle, fighting with a pair of carpet beaters and a spinning charge she calls Bam Bam Tornado. After Michael and Hoichael led Zoro on a chase through Water 7, she attacked him, mistaking him for a threat to the boys, then dragged him home once they explained he was their big brother. Zoro kept trying to leave but was repeatedly roped into minding babies and chores while his shirt was cleaned, and an argument flared when he insisted he was not family.

Loan sharks soon came demanding payment that had ballooned to ten times the original debt, even suggesting she sell a child into slavery, which revealed the children were not truly hers. Aunt drove them out, Zoro cut down their guns, and she hauled everyone off shopping. After Zoro slipped away to rejoin the Straw Hats, the loan sharks seized Aunt and the children and brought in the pirate captain Mikazuki. She chose to fight rather than pay, was knocked down, and her children leapt to her defense before Zoro arrived, scattered the loan sharks, and felled Mikazuki with Nanajuni Pound Ho. As Zoro finally departed, Aunt called him back, and fearing she had changed her mind he bolted, when in fact she only meant to return his shirt.
