Personality

Ikkaku was one of the doubters when an alliance with the Straw Hat Pirates was first proposed, joining Uni and Clione in dismissing their help as pointless. That skepticism, however, was outvoted, and she ultimately fought side by side with Luffy's crew.

History

About a month before Law allied with the Straw Hats, Ikkaku and the Heart Pirates relocated to Zou under Nekomamushi's protection. When Jack and the Beasts Pirates stormed the island hunting Raizo, the crew fought alongside the Mink Tribe. Once Law returned, they reunited joyfully in the Whale Forest and soon set out for Wano Country aboard the Polar Tang.

Throughout the Wano campaign the Heart Pirates infiltrated the country, gathered in Ebisu Town after Law's capture, and carried the Nine Red Scabbards to the rear of Onigashima during the Fire Festival. When Kaidou knocked Luffy into the sea, Ikkaku's crew located him underwater, hauled him aboard, and revived him. They later cheered Law and Kid through their brutal fight against Big Mom and celebrated her eventual defeat. After the raid, Ikkaku joined the victory festival and helped ready the crew's departure.

In the Final Saga, the Heart Pirates reached Winner Island and were ambushed by the Blackbeard Pirates. Despite Law cutting apart a mountain Jesus Burgess hurled at them, the crew was beaten and their vessel destroyed, with Ikkaku among those who went down with the ship. In the anime, when a Feminization Disease swept the crew, she appeared unaffected and watched her transformed crewmates with excitement.
