Appearance

A towering fish-man who looms over most of his crewmates, Dosun falls just shy of Ikaros Much in height. His hammerhead shark heritage gives him a head shaped like a mallet, eyes set at its outer edges, and a crown darker than the rest of him; when his strength flags, the sides of that head droop. Triangular teeth fill a mouth rimmed with thick purple lips, and his broad chest and bulky arms taper into rounded forearms, small hands, and slender legs. His skin is pale blue, his wavy pink hair falls to his shoulders past a dorsal fin, and gills line his thick neck, while his crew's Jolly Roger is inked on his left arm.

He typically wears an open dark short-sleeved shirt patterned with yellow T-shaped marks, plain light trousers, and sandals, with a sash at his waist and a buckled belt slung across his chest. A huge curved-headed hammer rests in his right hand or strapped to his back. In his teenage years his face looked gentler and rounder, but once the Energy Steroids turned on him he grew aged, obese, and stubbled, his lips left chapped.

Personality

Dosun shares Hody Jones's loathing of humanity and will menace any fish-man or merfolk who dares befriend one. His hatred runs hollow, born of upbringing rather than real experience, yet it burns fiercely, and he holds that even a doomed, fatal struggle is worthwhile if it leaves a grudge for fish-men of later years to inherit, a conviction he enforced by striking down subordinates who tried to flee. Although he fully recognizes that Hody will discard his own people without a second thought, he keeps backing his captain regardless. He has a verbal tic of working the word "Dosun" into his speech, swapping it for other sounds that signal how much energy he currently has.

History

As children, Dosun and the future officers watched humans oppress their kind, and their upbringing within the Fish-Man District taught them a single lesson: hate humans. In their teens they read of Fisher Tiger's raid on Mary Geoise and cheered the Sun Pirates, assuming the goal was humanity's destruction. After Hody enlisted in the Neptune Army, the group turned into a terrorist cell that murdered any fish-man sympathetic to humans, and they celebrated when Otohime was assassinated.

As the assault on Fish-Man Island began, Dosun took the northern Water Wheel Village and forced its people to trample a fumi-e bearing Otohime's image, enraging Prince Fukaboshi, who struck him down and left him chained. A tossed Energy Steroid let him snap the chains, vow vengeance, and demolish a house before regrouping at Gyoncorde Plaza. He and the other officers overpowered the royal princes after dosing themselves, but when Dosun later moved against Luffy he was knocked aside by Zoro. Squaring off with Chopper, he was stunned to see his hammer stopped by a bare Heavy Point fist, and Chopper's controllable Monster Point soon felled him in a single blow. Jailed afterward in the palace prison, he aged and weakened like the rest as the steroids took their toll, still muttering about revenge on the Straw Hats.
