History
Doran seized Sayo, the sister of Lina, and pressed the Straw Hat Pirates into uncovering the secret behind the gem-making process hidden on Spa Island. His scheme unraveled when the crew tore the island apart, leaving him to absorb a share of the punishment himself. He was last shown swimming away after a brief exchange with Foxy. Much later, during the Pirates Festival of One Piece: Stampede, he appeared bickering with Goro and Gedatsu over a business quarrel.
