Appearance

Gyaro takes after a telescope goldfish, with beige skin and enormous eye sockets housing tiny eyes. His jaw is elongated, lined by big lips around a small mouth, and his dark hair sits in a ponytail. Sun Pirates tattoos mark both of his biceps, and he dresses simply in a t-shirt and trousers.

Personality

Compared with Macro, Gyaro is the dimmer of the two, gullible enough to be swayed by Hatchan's bribe of octopus fritters for his release. He also stands apart from most fish-men in the series by feeling no shame about trafficking fellow fish-men and merfolk. His signature laugh runs Ehehehe.

Abilities

Being a fish-man grants him roughly ten times a human's strength on land and double that in water, yet he ranks as fairly weak, having been thrashed along with the rest of the Macro Pirates by Hatchan. He fights as a swordsman, wielding an ordinary katana through a style he calls Goldfish Fencing.

His history begins among the Sun Pirates, where he, Macro, and Tansui grew fond of the freed slave girl Koala and wept at her departure. After a Marine ambush left Fisher Tiger dead and Arlong captured, the trio served under Jinbe, then broke off to form their own crew once he became a Warlord. During Hatchan's Sea-Floor Stroll they swindled Hatchan with a treasure map to take Camie and sell her, but he returned and beat them, and Camie slipped free to follow him. Across the Sabaody Archipelago Arc the crew tried again and again to recapture her, failing thirty times before allying with the Flying Fish Riders. Together they finally subdued Hatchan and briefly seized Camie, but Luffy snatched her back and Hatchan's Takoyaki Punch sent the Macro Pirates flying from the base once more. In the non-canon film Stampede, Gyaro attended the Pirates Festival with his crewmates.
