Appearance

Tall and muscular, Ganryu has wide shoulders set above slender legs and a narrow nose. Three spikes run down the middle of his dark hair, framed by a sharp widow's peak. A three-pronged goatee meets a mustache that flows into his sideburns. A dark coat covers him, cinched by a pale belt around the waist, with light-colored trousers and dark boots whose toes curl upward at the tips.

Personality

Loyalty to his captain and crewmates defines Ganryu, who threw himself into their battles at their side. He is also quite perceptive: when Kouzuki Oden grew uneasy while sensing the Road Poneglyph on Zou, Ganryu caught the change and offered to let him return to their vessel should he feel unwell.

History

Forty-four years before the present, Ganryu already belonged to the Roger Pirates and took part in a strike on the Kuja Pirates meant to bring Shakuyaku aboard. Around then, Roger rallied his men to face a Marine vessel that was transporting Monkey D. Garp. The crew later reached God Valley to save the kidnapped Shakuyaku, and after Rayleigh freed her they grabbed the treasure and fled. Roughly twenty-six years ago, the Rogers clashed with the approaching Whitebeard Pirates for four days, until the duel cooled into an exchange of gifts. Once Oden joined, Ganryu traveled with the crew to Fish-Man Island, Skypiea, Wano, Water 7, Zou, and at last Laugh Tale, where they laughed at the treasure Joy Boy had left behind. After Roger named the island and the pirates returned Oden to Wano, the crew tearfully parted ways and disbanded; Ganryu's fate from there is unknown.
