Appearance

Bilić cuts an egg-shaped figure, a short, rotund man whose limbs are oddly thin against his bulk. Orange hair tops a face split down the middle, the right side blackened and fitted with a monocle while the left stays pale. His outfit mixes mismatched colors throughout, from a yellow-and-black shirt to boots of differing shades, and on his right arm he works a snake puppet named Hebić, crowned with a tiny top hat bearing the Marine crest.

Personality

Selfish and grandiose, Bilić dreams of rising to admiral like his idol Borsalino, and his Napoleon complex pushes him to cruelty. He conned Hand Island's craftsmen into raising his fortress and its great cannon, then shelled the island for his own amusement. Behind closed doors he sneers at fellow Marines as dim, Koby and Helmeppo included, and he refuses any defiance, jailing Regis in a spinning water-mill cell for daring to object. He keeps up a running act with his puppet, which flatters him while mocking everyone else.

Abilities

Commanding the rank and file at Hand Island, Bilić is no fighter, yet he is a crack marksman and a practiced ventriloquist, and his body proved startlingly tough by surviving Luffy's Elephant Gatling. He leans on machines built by the island's artisans, chiefly the giant tower cannon Josephine that battered the island daily, and Elizabeth, a single-seat cannon-car whose wire-guided spinning tops strike hard enough to pierce even the Gomu Gomu no Mi's protection.
