Igaram

A towering man, Igaram has a small reddened nose and blond hair shaped to look like a powdered wig. In his Mr. 8 disguise he carries himself like a gentleman, with the figure eight worked into the points of his collar and echoed in the curls of his hair. The timeskip adds a slim mustache, and he takes to wearing a dark coat layered over a pale spotted shirt, with a sash circling his waist and striped along its borders.

His loyalty to Vivi knows no limit, and he would readily lay down his life for her, fretting over her safety to the point of being smothering whenever danger nears. To the princess he is something like a second father, and her vanishing after the Levely left him in tears over her missing posters. He also has a quirk of speech, clearing his strained throat with an operatic ma~ma~ma~ whenever his voice tires.

As commander of Arabasta's royal guard, Igaram led the whole force under the Nefertari family, handing his duties to Chaka in his absence, and his ability to pass as a Baroque Works Frontier Agent marked him as a capable fighter and a master of disguise. His weapons hid in plain sight: a saxophone that unleashes a shotgun-like spray of bullets when played, dubbed Igarappa, and pistols tucked in his hair that fire when he tugs his necktie, the move he called Igarappappa. When drought and unrest left King Cobra unjustly blamed for Arabasta's troubles, Igaram joined Vivi in slipping into Baroque Works to unmask its true leader, taking the codename Mr. 8 beside his partner Miss Monday and ruling Whisky Peak as its mayor to lure pirates into ambushes. As the Straw Hats reached the town, he welcomed them under the name Igarappoi and feigned hospitality, but once Zoro exposed and defeated the assembled agents, Igaram pleaded with Nami to see Vivi safely home. After Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine arrived to wipe out the spies hidden in the organization, the gravely wounded Igaram disguised himself as Vivi and set out with three dummies named Henohenounchi to draw the pursuers away, only for Miss All-Sunday to blow up his ship and leave him presumed dead. He lived through it, racing back to Arabasta to halt the civil war and arriving with the witness Kappa, whose account proved the rebellion had been engineered by Baroque Works rather than the king. He again stood in for Vivi during her public address so she could bid the Straw Hats farewell, and in later years he remained at Cobra's side and was left frantic and tearful when Vivi disappeared once more, papering Mary Geoise and then Arabasta with pleas for her return.
