Bens
CharacterNicknamed "Dice," Bens is a wandering gambler and pirate who turns up in One Piece Odyssey. A single rigged jackpot at Rain Dinners hooked him on betting for life, and his violent tantrums after every loss eventually saddled him with a bounty.
Appearance
Bens is built with wide shoulders set on an unusually short neck, beneath a round head. His face carries small ears, a rounded nose, a brown goatee, and notably thick lips. For attire he pairs aviator-style shades with a cowboy hat in black, a crisp white dress shirt, a dark vest, and a matching bowtie.
Personality
Driven by a fantasy of striking it rich, Bens haunts casinos and gambles whenever he can. Losing, however, sends him into a rampage, and it was that destructive temper that landed him a bounty in the first place.
History
Earlier in his life, Bens regularly gambled at Rain Dinners, where, without his knowledge, Nico Robin rigged his bets as a promotional stunt, handing him a 50,000,000 berry win. Never realizing the games had been fixed, he grew obsessed and took up gambling as a full-time pursuit, traveling to Gran Tesoro and Dressrosa. Along the way he funded his habit by beating the pirates he crossed and pocketing their treasure, though his rampages after losing bets earned him a 20,000,000 berry bounty. He fights with a cutlass and shows solid skill with it.
While on Dressrosa, his wanted poster caught the eye of the Straw Hat Pirates. They hunted him down and found him reminiscing about Rain Dinners with Robin, but the moment he grasped that they were after his bounty he turned on them. He was beaten and handed over to Margin.
