Candre
CharacterCandre is a Marine officer and the twin brother of the pirate Andre, an afro-haired serviceman who chose the side of the law over piracy and fought against the Whitebeard Pirates during the great war at Marineford, with a later cameo in a non-canon film.
Appearance
Tall, with a long squared-off face topped by a black afro, Candre shares the thick lips of his twin. He dresses in a white shirt under a dark tie and jacket, all worn beneath the long coat of a high-ranking Marine officer.
Personality
Almost nothing of his character has been shown, though his choice to enlist in the Marines while his brother turned to piracy hints at a personal sense of justice. The officer's coat he wears implies he was capable enough to climb to a senior rank, and the post places lower Marines under his command.
History
At some point Candre joined the Marines as his twin Andre chose the pirate's path instead. He took part in the clash with the Whitebeard Pirates at Marineford, crying out in alarm when Luffy and the escaped Impel Down inmates burst onto the battlefield. In the non-canon film One Piece Film: Z, he attended Fleet Admiral Sakazuki's conference about Zephyr destroying an Endpoint in the New World. The anime swapped him out for a brown-haired Marine who shared little beyond a similar jaw and puffy hair. His and his brother's names nod to the musician Yosui Inoue, who once performed under the stage name Andre Candre while sporting an afro, a reference Oda has confirmed.
