Appearance

Years of gigantification testing inside the Biscuits Room left Doran far bigger than an ordinary youngster. Throughout his captivity there he dressed in a pale sleeveless top paired with matching trousers. Once Kin'emon conjured warm coats for the rescued children, the one Doran received was a light shade fastened with black buttons and trimmed with black fur along the hood and the cuffs.

Personality

Doran behaves much as any frightened, bashful child would. He warmed to the Straw Hat Pirates quickly, choosing to follow them out of the Biscuits Room when the chance came.

History

At some point Doran was taken away from his family, assured that he was ill and would soon be made well. He remained among the other captive children in the Biscuits Room until the Straw Hats freed them. The candy he and the others were regularly fed contained NHC10, and withdrawal soon overwhelmed him; Usopp eventually put the children to sleep with gas, after which the crew chained them down for safety.

Breaking loose, Doran turned on Nami and Usopp under the drug's influence and went off after Caesar to get more of it. He battered at the Biscuits Room door, pursued Mocha alongside the rest, and was briefly halted when Nami trapped the group with her Milky Ball. After the children cornered Mocha and she swallowed every piece of the candy, Sanji and the G-5 Marines arrived and bound them. Once Caesar had fallen, Trafalgar Law cleansed the children of the NHC10 and the other toxins Caesar had placed in them with the Ope Ope no Mi, then loaded them onto the SAD Tanker bound for home, the plan being for Vegapunk to shrink them back to normal. As he rode along with the G-5 Marines, Doran grimaced at the medicine he had to swallow, though he and the others were already showing signs of returning to their proper size.
