Personality

Not much of Daikon's nature has been revealed, though he tends to wear a mischievous grin. He is also notably brave, throwing himself into harm's way so his companions could carry on with Operation SOP. In terms of strength he is reasonably capable, helping topple Lao G alongside Nubon and Baxcon, yet not powerful enough to bring the pirate fully under control.

History

Daikon first appeared taking part in the SOP operation, one of the dwarves who hauled Robin through a cramped tunnel into the underground trade port. After emerging, the dwarves split up, and his group accompanied Thunder Soldier toward the royal palace to assassinate Doflamingo. The lift they rode was intercepted by Lao G, who outmatched them, but when Pica's clash with Luffy rocked the palace, Daikon and others seized the moment to pin the old man down so Thunder Soldier could advance.

Reunited with Kin'emon and Wicca, the dwarves left the palace once the toys reverted. After Doflamingo placed bounties on twelve people and the former toys turned on their rescuers, Daikon's group fled to the surface and resolved to aid Franky at the SMILE factory. They rallied the enslaved dwarves to revolt, helped tear the factory down, and used its uncuttable bulk to push back the shrinking Birdcage. When Luffy finally felled Doflamingo, the dwarves wept with joy and saluted their commander Kyros, later hindering the pursuing Marines by stealing their weapons. Afterward Daikon enlisted in Leo's newly formed pirate crew and helped the Dressrosa citizens rebuild, marveling at the new ship they were given.
