Appearance

Luffy openly likens him to a big cat, and the resemblance fits, since a feline cast to the face frames his red mane and dark complexion. His devotion to gold spills into his wardrobe: he plates his shoulders in golden armor worn over a white shirt, a guard that Luffy ultimately breaks apart in their duel. Capping his fingers are filed golden talons, fitted over his real nails and honed sharp enough to serve as blades.

Personality

Greed defines him utterly. Eldoraggo adores gold so intensely that he nuzzles his cheeks against it, and he refuses to surrender Woonan's treasure no matter the cost. So narrow is his fixation that he turns up his nose at gemstones and diamonds, valuing only the yellow metal. Even his battle gear, the shoulder plates and the wear-on claws, doubles as an expression of that mania.

History

Reckoned among the East Blue's tougher pirates, Eldoraggo carries a bounty of 10,000,000 Berries, a sum regarded as notable for that sea. His equipment is forged from gold alloy rather than soft pure gold, the armor absorbing repeated blows from Luffy before finally shattering, the claws able to pierce stone yet vulnerable to Zoro's blade. He also consumed the Goe Goe no Mi, a Paramecia fruit that converts his shouts into a destructive sound wave resembling a beam, whose intensity he can dial up or down, though the blast can be turned back against him.

Hunting Woonan's gold, Eldoraggo wiped out the man's crew, seized the map to Gold Island, and took the boy Tobio captive. He scattered the Straw Hats with a sound blast and pressed on, unaware that Nami had slipped aboard. On Gold Island, Usopp fed his crew false directions, and Nami later tricked them into believing the prize lay beneath a castle. Luffy interrupted his bombardment of the structure, and after a clash in which Zoro intervened, the chained pair were flung clear. Climbing the island's mountain, Eldoraggo destroyed Woonan's hut and tangled with the Straw Hats again, eventually facing Luffy alone once his hired fighter Golass fell. Their final brawl wrecked his cherished armor, and his rage drove him to loose a prolonged blast, which Luffy caught and hurled back before finishing him with a Gomu Gomu no Bazooka. In a later game appearance, a defeated Eldoraggo crosses the crew's path again on the Nanatsu Islands, trading a gift of gold for a thief's wallet.
