Appearing only in the anime, Kamonegi is a villager from the area around Nanohana who stockpiled Dance Powder. He intended to exploit the banned substance for personal gain before a chance encounter with Luffy wrecked his scheme.
Kamonegi is a lean, tan-skinned man whose dark brown hair sits beneath a blue and white striped hat, with a knotted red scarf at his neck. A long unibrow runs above his eyes, and his lips are thick. Over a purple robe he wears a light brown garment, and bandages are wound around his arms.
Greed colors Kamonegi, who plotted to turn Dance Powder to his own advantage. Fully aware that the powder robs other regions of their rainfall, he still meant to conjure rain and sell water for profit during droughts.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

When I first decided to commit to watching One Piece seriously, I knew I was embarking on one of anime's longest and most beloved series. With over 100...
Kamonegi had planned to use his Dance Powder to summon rain and sell the resulting water at a steep markup when times grew dry. Luffy, however, blundered into the sacks of powder, mistook them for something to eat, and after disliking the flavor tossed them into the chimney to burn. A downpour broke out over the hut, sending Kamonegi rushing outside to confront him, and on learning his treasure had been destroyed he cried that his dreams were finished and attacked despite Luffy's apology.
He was no match and ended up thoroughly battered, after which he praised Luffy's strength and begged him to keep the Dance Powder quiet. He tried to explain the powder's role in Arabasta's crisis, but the message went over Luffy's head. As Luffy made to leave, Kamonegi pleaded once more for silence and offered him anything in return, which Luffy parlayed into a meal. Upon discovering Luffy was a pirate who could not report him anyway, Kamonegi protested that being tricked was hardly fair.
