Appearance

Standing on the shorter side, Ibusu is marked by thick lips and a shaggy beard that he leaves untrimmed and grown long. His outfit follows the look of a buccaneer commander, pairing a captain's coat and matching hat with a frilly white shirt worn beneath. The skull and crossbones of his crew, a plain design, sits across the hat.

Personality

Very little of his character has been shown. The one trait that surfaces is a degree of deference toward Trebol, whom he treats with evident respect during their dealings.

History

During the events at Dressrosa, Ibusu was in the middle of arranging a deal with the Donquixote Pirates when Bian and her swarm of pink hornets descended on him and his men. Trebol turned up to investigate, assuming a brawl had broken out, but Ibusu coolly clarified that they were only fending off the insects. A later revelation casts doubt on his identity altogether: Koala uncovers that his so-called pirate ship is really a trading vessel serving the Doerena Kingdom, meaning he may never have been a pirate at all.
