Appearance

Towering yet gaunt, Drip cuts a pale figure with hollow, shadowed eyes and a long, sharply tapered jaw. His hair splits along a part much like the real Sanji's, only far untidier, and it loosely echoes the cook's notoriously inaccurate wanted poster. The irony is that he, alongside the pre-surgery Duval, physically resembles that poster better than Sanji himself does. His suit copies Sanji's too, though it hangs loose, drops the double-breasted cut, and ends in plain black dress shoes. His Killer disguise later amounts to a shabby version of that pirate's gear, his hair and face daubed to mimic the mask.

Personality

Among the counterfeits, Drip ranks as one of the sharper minds, and unlike the genuine Sanji and Zoro he gets along well with his crew's Fake Zoro. That perceptiveness shows when he immediately spots the real Chopper and senses that the disguised Luffy might be tied to the actual Straw Hats, then steers him toward Fake Luffy without tipping him off. The bravado evaporates the instant the fraud is exposed; cornered, he turns craven and pleads with Caribou for his life.

History

Drip operated alongside fake versions of Zoro, Robin, and Chopper around Sabaody. Mistaking the true Chopper for a member abandoned two years earlier, the group schemed to seize him and ditch their own counterfeit reindeer. After their boss Demalo Black brushed off the captured Fake Robin, Drip and Fake Zoro instead escorted the disguised real Luffy back to the gathering, none the wiser. The masquerade unravelled when Sentomaru, the Marines, and Pacifista units descended and PX-5 broadcast that Black was a nobody carrying a trivial bounty. Drip fled in terror with the others, only to be caught by Caribou, who used his Logia swamp power to smother him into unconsciousness. He survived, was rounded up by the Marines, and ended up jailed at the G-4 base. There, when the crew reinvented itself as the Kid Pirates, he donned a Killer disguise and listened to Vegapunk's broadcast with Demalo Black, Manjaro, and Turco. In the gag manga One Piece Party he gains a young son, Trip, and a self-styled epithet.
