Appearance

Bosao styles himself after Sabo as closely as a small child can manage. He sports a pair of aviator goggles modeled on Sabo's, one of the lenses cracked, and lugs an iron pipe across his back that runs so long it drags along the ground.

Personality

He comes across as an ordinary, if somewhat grating, kid. Try as he might to absorb Sabo's manner along with his looks, the imitation never quite lands. He even mimics Sabo's fighting moves, throwing basic punches under the same names, though as a child he packs little real strength behind them.

History

At some earlier point the Revolutionary Army took Bosao in and carried him off to Baltigo. During the two-year timeskip he pesters a girl set on becoming an archaeologist, badgering her to train no matter how pointless she finds it, until she finally puts him in his place with a little help from Nico Robin.
