Appearance

This Holy is a young child with cropped light brown hair, large round eyes, and heavy dark brows. His nose is rounded and his cheeks carry a flush of blush. He tops his head with a red, blue-striped cap and wears a black tank top bearing a red triangular mark over the right of the chest. Beige shorts with a long green belt, plus dark brown shoes, complete the outfit.

Personality

Holy is guileless and a little slow on the uptake, mistaking Chopper for a stuffed toy or a panda and assuming the map-reading device his father left him was an ordinary pendant. Much of this stems from how young he is. Beneath the simplicity is a deeply affectionate child who treasures his sisters and readily embraced Maccus and Bonney as new parents. He looks up to Sanji as a role model and regards the rest of the Straw Hats as kind friends.

History

His only demonstrated skill is the most basic of kitchen work; he managed to help Sanji prepare a feast by boiling shrimp. Holy's mother died early in his life, and his father roamed the seas chasing adventures meant to give his children a better future. The father came home from one such trip mortally wounded by Bayan, and before dying he handed Holy the map-reading tool and inked a map across the back of his eldest daughter, Amanda. Roughly a month before the family crossed paths with the Straw Hats, Holy and his sisters were captured by Zap. While Maccus and Bonney were hauling cargo they stumbled onto the children, and Amanda struck a bargain to lead them to her father's treasure island. The five fled Zap in a small lifeboat and set off.

Once the Straw Hats reached the island, Holy gave away the group's hiding spot by darting out to chase something, then ran circles around Chopper while insisting he was a stuffed animal. After the deception unraveled, the children's hosts brought the crew to their cave shelter, where Holy proudly displayed his "pendant." Aboard the Going Merry, he and Sanji cooked a feast. The Bayan Pirates then landed and seized Luffy and Amanda, prompting everyone to pursue Zap's vessel. A battle erupted on Bayan's ship, the Straw Hats and their allies prevailed, and Amanda was freed. Back on the island, with help from Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji, the group discovered it was a giant clam and the treasure a colossal pearl. Maccus and Bonney then took Amanda, Holy, and Milia in as their adopted family.
