Appearance

Boo Kong is an enormous, spherical man whose legs look tiny against his massive bulk. Blond curls fall over his cheeks, and triangular tattoos in dark green mark his frame. A fluffy-rimmed orange vest hangs open over a portion of his torso, paired with white trousers, black footwear, and dark grey gloves. One unbroken scar runs from the crown of his face down to his stomach.

Personality

Heedless and dismissive of anyone's wellbeing, Boo Kong lives only for combat. A believer in absolute justice, he willingly brutalizes the island's villagers on command and even threatens to kill them for breaking the Marines' ban on worship. His frequent maniacal laughter, written as Nuhahaha, betrays a savage nature, yet he proved capable of loyalty by hailing Zoro as a comrade once the swordsman sided with the Marines.

Abilities

Boo Kong wields tremendous power, slamming the large Lacos into a stone altar with force enough to demolish the whole structure while hardly straining. For all his mass he moves remarkably fast, hurtling into the buildings of the village at speed. Ranking among Saga's senior followers, he directs the lower Marines and fights with two pierced clubs that land devastating strikes. At some earlier point, he and his fellow Marines fell in with Saga's dojo and slipped under the Shichiseiken's influence, the blade ordering him to menace the natives of Asuka Island. He helped guide Zoro to the dojo, raided the village for the sacred orbs, and struck Lacos down before the altar. In the climax he was set to guard the Hagun tower but fell fast to Robin's Veinte Fleur, which tickled him and brought rubble crashing onto his head. Once Zoro beat Saga, he and the others broke free of the sword's hold.
