Bigalo
CharacterBigalo, nicknamed the Hanged Man, is a boastful pirate captain from the fourth One Piece film, Dead End Adventure. He and his crew entered the deadly Dead End Race and crossed paths with the Straw Hats.
Appearance
Bigalo is a hefty man with an oversized head and a long black braid hanging down his back. A black sun motif rings his permanently shut left eye, and an orange sun is inked across his chest. He drapes himself in a large coat colored blue and yellow with a purple lining and white fur trimming the chest.
Personality
Arrogant and quick to gloat, Bigalo mocked the Straw Hats over the modest size of the Going Merry. His pride proved thin, though, as he took deep offense when the crew pointed out he was dead last in the race and grew furious the moment they simply ignored him.
Abilities
What skills he actually possessed were never clear, and he comes across as rather feeble, dropping unconscious from a single shot fired by Usopp. Even so, he managed to do enough to earn a respectable bounty of 14,900,000 Berries.
