Appearance

A distinctive head of hair and the fish bone he chews while talking make this doctor instantly recognizable, the latter quirk suiting his sea-themed name. He is a tall, broad figure who keeps a stethoscope on, dressing in a blue shirt flecked with pale blue spots beneath a yellow scarf. Part of a tattoo shows on his left arm, only ever glimpsed in full.

History

The Marine ranks place their trust in his medical ability, and his knowledge extends to Haki, for he could tell that Koby had awakened Observation Haki and even work out what had set it off. Roughly thirty-eight years earlier, he caught Garp and Sengoku in a heated argument over the propaganda built around Garp's exploits at the God Valley Incident. Following the Summit War, Fishbonen staffed the infirmary and saw to the hurt soldiers. There he let Koby know about the Haki that had just surfaced in him, encouraged the boy to pursue training beneath Vice Admiral Garp, then stepped away to attend his remaining patients.
