Borodo

Borodo turns himself out in an aviator's getup. His left arm is artificial, a replacement for the limb he sacrificed while rescuing his adopted brother Akisu.

Beneath a scheming exterior, Borodo carries real tenderness, having raised Akisu from infancy. He proves perfectly willing to lie, feeding the Straw Hats a story that the Trump Siblings had made off with their ship. The deception served a softer aim, though, since he wanted the pirates to crush the Trump crew and give Akisu a shot at a calm life back on Clockwork Island. He is also a gifted navigator, steering a raft through nothing more than clever handling of a makeshift parachute sail.

Seven years before the film, Borodo plucked a drifting infant from the sea and chose to raise him, and although no blood tied them, the two embraced each other as brothers and dubbed themselves the Thief Brothers. When the Straw Hats turned up hunting for their missing vessel, Borodo claimed the Trump Siblings were the culprits and offered to lead the crew to Trump Castle on Clockwork Island.

After Luffy and Zoro blundered into a trap, Borodo admitted that he himself had taken the Going Merry, gambling that the pirates would topple the Trump crew so he could make off with the Diamond Clock. A music box found with Akisu had tipped him off that the boy hailed from the island, and he hoped to restore him to it. Leaving an unconscious Akisu beside the trapped pair, he slipped away to deal with Bear King. He reached the meeting room just as Bear King prepared to fire the King Cannon at the captured Straw Hats, and he bared the dynamite strapped around his middle, vowing to take everyone down with him. The threat collapsed once Bear King warned that the blast would wreck the island's key and doom the whole place, and in that instant of hesitation Bear King battered him against the wall. Borodo could only watch as Luffy arrived to take up the fight.

With the Trump Siblings beaten and Akisu reunited with his parents, Borodo tried to slip off alone, only to discover Akisu had stowed away, set on sailing at his side regardless. The brothers fell to squabbling over how to split the Trump loot before going their separate way from the Straw Hats.
