Hera (Gladiator)
CharacterHera is a minor gladiator of the Corrida Colosseum who entered the tournament fighting for the Mera Mera no Mi during the Dressrosa arc. He is glimpsed among the competitors in the fighters' waiting room.
Appearance
Hera stands tall and heavily muscled, going bare-chested and barefoot. His gear includes a spiked ridged helmet, studded bands around his wrists, and a dark paludamentum whose back is marked with his name and entry number. A longsword completes his kit.
Personality
Almost nothing is established about his temperament, as he is shown only briefly among the colosseum contestants.
Abilities
He is seen holding a sword in the waiting area, but his actual proficiency with it is never demonstrated. His role amounts to a cameo: he was sitting in the waiting room as Luffy arrived, biding his time for a match. The manga left his block unstated, while the anime added a board identifying him as a registrant of D Block.
