The firstborn of the entire Charlotte Family, Perospero serves as a crew officer under Big Mom and rules Candy Island as Totto Land's Minister of Candy. Carrying a bounty of 700,000,000 berries, he stands as a leading enemy across the Whole Cake Island Arc, resurfacing as a foe again at Wano.
Lanky and exceptionally tall, Perospero has a pointed nose, lips of pink, eyes of brown, and an extraordinarily long, thick tongue, usually wearing a grin that only falters into horror on the rare occasions his mother turns on him. His hair is striking, large and navy blue dotted with baby-blue spots and curling upward to either side. His coat is long and yellow, its tall collar a paler shade, the top buttons shaped like big striped candies, a checkered hem strung with beads, dark beaded bracelets, and long dark-painted nails, topped by an orange-and-red striped hat ringed with lollipops and crowned by a pale plume, while a large curl-topped candy cane stays in hand for licking. After a blast set off by Pedro tore away his right arm, he fashioned a replacement out of candy through his Devil Fruit, a limb later shredded by Nekomamushi in their final clash.
Cruelty is his signature trait, and he delights in tormenting opponents, whether threatening to turn Caesar Clown into candy or jeering at a weeping Vinsmoke Judge. He is not fearless, terror gripping him whenever his mother menaces his life, and he can be vindictive, swearing vengeance on the Sanji Retrieval Team after losing his arm. For all his malice he genuinely cares for Totto Land and its people, even risking himself and lying to his crazed mother to spare Sweet City, and he shows tenderness toward children and concern for his siblings. Arrogant and quick to underestimate his foes, he carries a habit of toying with enemies rather than finishing them, a flaw that has repeatedly cost him. He punctuates his speech with the tic "Perorin" and laughs with a "Kukukuku," and as the eldest he insists the captaincy of the crew should pass to him.
His officer and minister ranks give him command over Candy Island and the lower crew, and as the firstborn he has directed many of his siblings, with even the Sweet Commander Smoothie deferring to his orders. The 700,000,000-berry bounty placed on him by the World Government exceeds those of brothers like Daifuku and Oven and even that of the former Sweet Commander Snack, and Vito grouped him with the crew's "monsters" alongside Katakuri and Smoothie. He subdued Brook and Chopper, brought down the mighty mink Pedro, defeated Wanda and Carrot together even in their Sulong forms, and overwhelmed Nekomamushi until the moon returned. He endures Big Mom's Supreme King Haki and counts among the craftiest of his kin, improvising effective plans on the spot. His Devil Fruit, the Pero Pero no Mi, lets him generate and shape candy at will, building weapons, walls, armor, mechanical structures, and even a full replica of Caesar's laboratory, binding foes in place or encasing them until the candy seeps in and kills them. He commands Armament and Observation Haki and arms himself with candy creations such as his cane staff, a bow firing volleys of arrows, and an axe.

When I first decided to commit to watching One Piece seriously, I knew I was embarking on one of anime's longest and most beloved series. With over 100...

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....
