Cidre heads the Cidre Guild and commands its Carbonate Assault Army, working as a bounty hunter who chases pirates for profit. He stands as the chief villain of the non-canon Cidre Guild Arc, relying entirely on carbonation-powered gear rather than any Devil Fruit or Haki.
Broad across the shoulders and standing tall, Cidre keeps a beard and wears purple hair in a messy heap, the long fringe combed upward toward the back of his skull. A wide scar cuts across his brow. His left arm ends in a gauntlet far bulkier than his ordinary right hand, and metal rings clamped on both wrists feed into pipes that run to a pair of barrels strapped to his back. His outfit pairs a zippered jacket in black and gray with matching trousers and black boots.
A consuming loathing of pirates drives him, sharpest toward those carrying Devil Fruit powers, though his motive is greed rather than justice, sharpened by an old grudge against Douglas Bullet. He shows little regard for anyone, keeping most of his workforce enslaved by holding their families hostage. In the mold of Krieg, he brags constantly about his weapon-built strength and insists he can topple even monsters like Boa Hancock or Monkey D. Luffy despite having no special powers at all. Buena Festa dismisses him as all talk and no substance. He also carries a signature laugh, rendered as Shuwawawawa.
In his youth his hometown was razed by Douglas Bullet, the loss that turned him against pirates and pushed him into bounty hunting. He founded the Cidre Guild and built a carbonation factory on an island, staffing it largely with slaves. His equipment runs on barrels of carbonated water: he can fly using them as a jetpack, and by compressing his gauntlets he delivers punches strong enough to crater the ground. His mightiest rig adds spinning arm barrels that magnify each blow. The system has limits, since his stored water drains and must be refilled, and his pure blunt force does nothing to a foe like Luffy. During the arc he learned from Festa that Bullet would attend the Pirates Festival and resolved to kill every pirate there. After ordering Luffy and Hancock slain, he confronted Luffy himself, fell back to don his strongest rig, and was ultimately beaten by Gomu Gomu no Elephant Gun.

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....
