Appearance
Blond hair tops the look of this youthful performer. His outfit pairs a pale green vest over a red shirt, finished with trousers in a gold shade.
Personality
Loyalty to Kardia defines how Herz operates. He takes charge of warming up the crowd before the Premier Show begins, clearly relishing the chance to whip an audience into excitement during the pre-show segment.
Abilities
Herz consumed the Nori Nori no Mi, a Paramecia Devil Fruit whose power lets him compel other people into dancing against their will. During the 2021 show, after Kardia lost an umbrella crafted by Portgas D. Ace, Herz threw himself into the brawl against the pirate intruders and squared off with Sanji. He locked Sanji into a forced dance, but the arrival of Nami and Robin let the cook turn that motion into a love-fueled battle dance, which Sanji used to strike Herz down. The blow knocked him out and broke the dancing spell.
