Personality

Dogya holds his captain in high regard, going so far as to stand against Edward Newgate in Ace's defense. He carries a cheeky streak as well, mocking Deuce's adventure diary even though chronicling their voyages was Deuce's chief ambition. He fights using boxing gloves, though just how skilled he is remains unclear.

History

Dogya signed on with the Spade Pirates and sailed with Ace as the young captain built his reputation. He helped beat back a band of bounty hunters and, when Isuka slipped aboard the ship, joined his crewmates in cornering the Marine Ensign, though she shrugged them off with ease. The crew then reached Sabaody Archipelago, where Dogya and the others wandered the island and quietly read Deuce's diary, laughing at his clumsy writing until Deuce struck their names from it. The Spade Pirates were once stranded in Wano Country, where the starving people of Amigasa Village tied them up and took their food; rather than retaliate, Ace asked where to find dessert, and the crew stayed on for weeks, befriending Tama.

When Ace battled Jinbe, Dogya cautioned him about the fish-man's power. After Ace and Jinbe fought to a draw, Dogya and his fellow Spade Pirates shielded their captain from Edward Newgate and were swiftly overcome, after which they were taken in by the Whitebeard Pirates much like Ace. He has not appeared since.
