History

Ranking as a deputy commander, Gambo wields authority over lower revolutionaries in the South Army, answering directly only to Lindbergh. Four years before the present he stood aboard the Wind Granma with Belo Betty and Morley to welcome Kuma back from his travels. During the Levely, he was stationed on Momoiro Island alongside Belo Betty and Koala as the infiltration plan went into motion.

Later, watching the coast of Momoiro Island with fellow deputies Ushiano, Ahiru, and Jiron, he proposed a bet on whether an approaching vessel carried friend or foe. Jiron wagered it was Sabo coming home and turned out right, but Gambo refused to pay up, accusing him of cheating with a telescope, which Jiron promptly ate to destroy the proof. He was later stunned when Vegapunk's global broadcast announced that the world had flooded and that they were now living atop fragments of continents.
