Gari

Gari is a small boy whose face is dominated by a wide, toothy smile. On his head sits a red cap, and over that a red helmet marked with the number 03; the shaggy blue hair he keeps tucked underneath only shows once the cap comes off. His outfit pairs a sleeveless purple top with striped shorts in black and white, finished off by blue footwear. A blue cape hangs at his shoulders, a hero mask is fastened to the crown of his cap, and he hauls a toy sword around with him. Just before the Straw Hats set out for Piriodo, he handed his helmet to Nami so she could borrow it for a time.

Bursting with energy, Gari adores heroes and imitates them at every turn, donning their gear as he acts out their exploits. One question nags at him, however: he cannot settle on whether true heroism belongs to an Admiral of the Marines or instead to a pirate. Luffy flatly told the boy that pirates are not heroes in the slightest, yet in the end Gari chose the pirate's path for himself.

Gari first turns up as Mobston's grandson, beaming broadly while he soaks in all the Straw Hats have to say regarding Z and his Neo Marines. After the crew took its second beating from those Neo Marines, he passed his helmet to Nami and waved them off, asking aloud which embodied the better hero, an Admiral or an outlaw; Luffy replied that pirates were no heroes and that the boy should just follow his own wishes. With Z brought down, the crew returned to Dock Island, where a now-restored Nami gave the helmet back to him. Following their final farewell, Gari made up his mind, later appearing in a pirate's coat with a skull-and-crossbones mask swapped in for his old hero mask.
