Appearance

Donald Moderate is a stout man sporting a long, hooked nose. A metal claw stands in for his absent left hand, while a peg leg replaces his right leg from the knee down. For clothing he combines suspenders and trousers in dark purple worn above a frilly-collared white shirt, then adds a bowtie of blue, a jacket in pink, and a tall, slender brown top hat whose brim takes a bicorne shape.

Personality

Lively and thoroughly caught up in the Pirates Festival and in the chase after the treasure left by Gol D. Roger, Moderate tends to sink into gloom whenever his co-host Ann upstages or cuts him off. Where Ann picks favorites, he stays an even-handed voice with no preferred winner. He had no part in the scheme cooked up by Buena Festa and Douglas Bullet and never suspected the festival was a fraud, so discovering that the host had lured the Marines to the Expo left him enraged at Festa.

History

Moderate opened the Pirates Festival together with Ann, inviting her to show off her Bijo Bijo no Mi abilities. After laying out the contest's rules, he unveiled the search for Roger's fortune, hidden on a floating island that sat inside a bubble and was reached by way of a Knock Up Stream. He and Ann tracked the pirate melee with delight until a ship rode the stream up and detonated the island, leaving them stunned. As the crowd crashed into the bay below, Moderate caught sight of approaching Marine vessels and grasped that Festa had betrayed everyone, prompting him and Ann to flee. Once Bullet was beaten, the Marines rounded up Donald among many other pirates.
