Jango

Lean and topped with blondish-gray hair, Jango leans into outlandish fashion, his most recognizable touch being the red heart-shaped sunglasses that hide his equally heart-shaped eyes and brows. The striped tuft on his chin is not a beard at all but the leftover stem of a mushroom that sprouted while he slept; he ate the cap, found it revolting, and left the rest. His wardrobe shifted with his roles. As Kuro's right hand he favored a sleeveless top and blue bandanna, then dressed up in a wide-brimmed hat and overcoat once handed the captaincy. Joining the Marines pushed his style louder still, most infamously a garish giraffe-print shirt worn under a standard seaman cap.

Jango is a capable yet often bumbling hypnotist, easygoing by nature and uneasy around his old captain, whose habit of turning on his own crew kept him on edge even as he stayed loyal. His true passion is dancing, and he peppers his movement with flourishes like moonwalking instead of plain walking. That love once led him to recklessly enter a contest on Mirrorball Island while supposedly avoiding Marine attention, and his competitive streak carried him to victory and earned Fullbody's respect. In Marine life he plays admirer to Hina and constant companion to Fullbody, the two so inseparable they mirror each other's gestures. Like many in the series, he owns a distinctive laugh: Uhyahahya.

Years as an acting captain left Jango reasonably athletic with some fighting skill, throwing long exaggerated kicks that look more like choreography. His old bounty of 9,000,000 berries was modest by Grand Line measures yet triple the East Blue average, though he proved far from formidable, falling to a single one of Usopp's Gunpowder Stars. Still, he rose from seaman recruit to lieutenant commander in only two years of Marine service. His hypnosis, gained from that fateful mushroom, works by making targets watch his swinging pendulum and listen to his cue phrase, One, Two, Jango; he can lull foes to sleep or push allies into tapping hidden reserves of strength. The trick fails on anyone who simply shuts their eyes, and Jango frequently forgets to shield his own, hypnotizing himself by accident. The pendulum itself is a sharp metal chakram on a string, keen enough to slice through tree trunks and usable as a thrown blade, with spares always on hand.
