Bacura
CharacterBacura is a giant black panther kept by the Kuja Pirates of Amazon Lily under Boa Hancock. Serving as the tribe's longtime executioner, she is said to have devoured her victims whole, bones and all, yet she fell in a single blow when set against Monkey D. Luffy.
Appearance
Towering over an ordinary big cat, Bacura is a black panther whose eyes glow yellow and red above a mouth crowded with oversized fangs. A broad, toothy grin gives her a fearsome cast, and a brown cap rests on her head, trailing partway down her back.
Personality
She carries herself with the raw instinct of a wild predator, untamed and savage. Tales told among the tribe claim that nothing was ever left of those she killed, not even their bones.
