History
Across long years of service to Roba, Gonzo grew deeply attached to her. He first surfaces in the story when the Straw Hats are welcomed to Ratchet's castle for a party, where Chopper mistook him for a robot, prompting him to clarify that he is human while the maids are machines. The following day, after Ratchet roused the giant tortoise and the pirates assaulted the castle, the crew was caught in a trap, but Gonzo released them on Roba's instruction.
