Coribou, nicknamed Blood-Splatterer, captains the Caribou Pirates beside his older brother Caribou. A hulking rookie with a bounty of 190 million berries, he briefly tied himself to the Fake Straw Hat Crew and serves as a minor foe during the Fish-Man Island Arc.
Coribou is enormous and rounded, an egg-shaped giant who dwarfs both his brother and the rest of their crew, his bulk perched on oddly thin, spindly legs. Dark lips and shadowed rings circle his eyes, and what looks like a lizard, probably an iguana, sits atop his head as his hair, its tail draping over the right side of his face. He dresses in dark trousers and shoes with a paler shirt, the collar stained with the blood that earned his epithet.
He often seems unaware of where things actually are, having once answered his brother while facing entirely the wrong way. Jumpy by nature, he stutters and sweats constantly, hinting at a fear of Caribou, yet his loyalty never wavers; he calls his brother brosuke and stays affectionate even after Caribou abandoned the whole crew to save himself. Their late grandmother's wish that the two always stick together took firm root in him.
Reputed as a fearsome captain, Coribou built his fame alongside Caribou by slaughtering Marines and managed to reach the Sabaody Archipelago. He proved tough enough to endure three thousand meters below the surface and return alive. For weapons he carries a shovel, used both to dig graves for his brother's so-called sinners and as a bludgeon against the G-5 Marines, and he was once seen wielding a handheld Gatling gun, though his ship was wrecked before he could fire it.

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....
Coribou and his brother Caribou built a fearsome reputation killing Marines before reaching Sabaody Archipelago, where they briefly joined the Fake Straw Hat Crew. He later pursued the real Straw Hats underwater near Fish-Man Island, survived his ship being smashed by the Kraken Surume, rescued Caribou from a burning stake at a G-5 base, and eventually fought Scotch during Caribou's masquerade as the revolutionary Gaburu before X Drake brought them down.
The wiki content does not attribute a devil fruit to Coribou. His most notable feat of toughness, surviving three thousand meters underwater and returning alive, is presented as natural physical resilience rather than a devil fruit power.
Coribou is fiercely loyal to his older brother Caribou, whom he affectionately calls "brosuke," and he continues to care for him even after Caribou abandoned the crew to save himself, honoring their late grandmother's wish that the two always stick together.
Coribou wields a shovel, which he uses both to dig graves for his brother's so-called sinners and as a bludgeon against G-5 Marines, and he was also once seen carrying a handheld Gatling gun, though his ship was destroyed before he could use it.
Coribou is remarkably tough physically, having endured a plunge to three thousand meters below the surface and returned alive.
