Appearance

Cadenza is a huge man, his round and bulky torso perched on stubby legs in a frame identical to his quintuplet brothers'. Light brown hair sprouts on both sides of an otherwise bare scalp studded with bumps, and he sports a thick beard. His clothes, a striped black-and-pink short-sleeved shirt with a bowler hat and trousers worn barefoot, evoke a convict's uniform, finished by the dotted wristlets and belt his brothers also wear.

Personality

Devoted to both his bloodline and his crew, Cadenza signed on with the enraged army to settle the score for the beating his younger brother Cracker had taken. The anime gives him a stubborn edge too, showing him refuse to surrender Sanji's hiding place even while Luffy throttled him.

Abilities

His officer status places the crew's lesser members under his command. Strong enough to fell a Luffy still worn from the Cracker fight, he did so in a paired assault with his twin Counter, and his Armament Haki held firm against a Hawk Gatling without giving ground. Their combined move, Cream Punch, has the two batter an enemy from both sides with Haki-coated fists, first used to drop an already-exhausted Luffy. Once Cracker had fallen, Cadenza advanced with Big Mom's army and, alongside Counter, knocked Luffy out while Mont-d'Or held his attention. In anime filler he later faced Luffy inside the Chateau, where he was throttled for withholding Sanji's whereabouts and passed out.
