Appearance

From the legs upward Gorishiro is an ordinary gorilla, his form sprouting out of Mizerka's hips while her own torso juts from his abdomen, her arms still buried inside him. His fur is pink over purplish skin, his fingernails white. He sports a white belt dotted in yellow, a small Beasts Pirates Jolly Roger, and a pair of headphones striped yellow and black.

Personality

Gorishiro thinks for himself and can act apart from Mizerka, though he shared her excitement during the Golden Kagura and her ambition when Queen dangled a path to becoming a Tobiroppo. He behaves like a stock gorilla, fond of bananas and sloppy at eating. His relaxed nature often grates against Mizerka's short temper, as when he messily devoured a banana while the Beasts Pirates lay in wait to ambush Luffy.

Abilities

Bound to wherever Mizerka travels, Gorishiro was nonetheless poised to take on Luffy and Zoro at a moment's notice, marking him a capable combatant. He wields considerable strength, throwing punches forceful enough to overpower lower-ranking Beasts Pirates.
