Charlotte Mont-d'Or

Blond hair fanning outward tops the Scribe's lean, hunched frame, where unusually long arms and legs join to a thick belly. The face below carries a sharply pointed nose and a rounded chin that pushes forward.

His wardrobe centers on a dark, chest-baring jumpsuit printed to suggest a skeleton, the bones following the curves of his limbs and ribs. A top hat in matching dark tones, banded with a soft pink ribbon, completes the silhouette, and he finishes the look with shadowed lips plus a lone makeup stroke traced beneath each eye.

Mont-d'Or pairs an almost slavish loyalty to his mother with genuine dread of her, since her cravings have devoured the years of relatives such as Opera and Moscato. Crisis tends to sharpen rather than freeze him, and he seizes command quickly while showing real care for his kin, once cautioning Moscato to bury any sign of fear so he might survive. The defeat of Cracker sent him into a fury, and Bege's strike against Linlin had him swearing instant reprisal.

Cruelty defines how he treats opponents. He once called his desire to slit the Straw Hats' throats and put their corpses on display in the press a measure of his own kindness. Curt and easily irritated, he snaps at children and underlings alike, and his distrust ran so far that he refused to take even his brother Opera at his word. Early arrogance led him to dismiss the idea that Luffy had toppled Cracker, but cautions from Tamago and the Tamatebako blast eventually forced him to regard the crew as a serious danger. His pride in the crew burns so fiercely that he ordered Stussy and Morgans run down, determined to stop any stain on its reputation from spreading.

Authority over part of Totto Land comes with his post as Minister of Cheese, and his officer rank places lesser crewmates beneath his orders. The Germa princes Niji and Yonji counted him among the crew's heavyweights, a notable judgment given its sheer scale. A hardened will lets him stay awake through both a surge of Linlin's Supreme King Haki and her deafening screams, and he proved a capable organizer, marshaling the pursuits of both the Straw Hats and the Fire Tank Pirates.

A Paramecia-class fruit, the Buku Buku no Mi, which he swallowed long ago, hands him command over books. He floats them about as footholds or weapons, and Jinbe observed that his imagination alone caps the power. Holding an open volume over a target sinks that person into an illusory setting pulled from its pages, a spell that snaps the instant the cover closes. A nail can also pin a victim within a book, freezing how they age; setting the book alight releases them, though they may burn in the process. He carries a rifle into combat, and a Walker was handed to him for the Vinsmoke assassination plot.
