Personality

He is dishonest enough to cheat unfamiliar clients out of a fair price, yet spineless enough to cave the instant anyone leans on him. For all that, his eye for the worth of goods is genuinely sharp.

History

When Luffy, Nami, and Usopp carried their Skypiean gold in to be cashed out, Shitemanna grew visibly thrilled at how fine it was, then lowballed the figure at one hundred million Berries. Luffy and Usopp accepted happily, but Nami saw through the trick and, after warning him about Luffy's bounty and hinting at force, scared him into paying the true sum of three hundred million Berries. The anime adds that he had been appraising for twenty five years. His name plays on a Japanese phrase meaning roughly that one did good work, a wry jab at a man who only performs when pressured, and a popularity poll rendered it as Verree Finework.
