Appearance

Kerodeek is a shrunken, elderly figure with pale, wrinkled skin and a small mouth. Oversized spectacles sit on his face, and he dresses in a beige jacket, blue trousers, and white gloves. A two-tone green frog cap tops his head, sprouting a small plant shoot, its half-closed eyes nodding to his sleepy disposition. He generally carries a hammer, with a second one slung on his back.

Personality

A drowsy, scatterbrained streak runs through Kerodeek, who once asked to nap right in the middle of Nami's confrontation with the Wise Men. That softness hides a cruel side shared by his whole crew: he relishes seeing rival pirates turn on one another and works to shatter their bonds. Strong fighters like Zoro and Sanji rattle him easily, and being ignored by them left him furious. He laughs in the group's signature style, a chanting Kerokerokero.

Abilities

Kerodeek's combat skill is unclear, but he excels at racing speedboats and, above all, at building and mending ships. He could rebuild his boat within seconds, each repair adding new firepower, and his final upgrade let the craft skim above the water and crash through stone bridges. Long ago he sailed the Grand Line with the Red Arrows Pirates in Gol D. Roger's era, until a storm killed the crew and left Omatsuri alone. The Lily Carnation revived them, and they began luring crews to the island to feed the plant. During the race he drove while Keroshot shot, and each time Zoro and Sanji wrecked the boat he rebuilt it stronger, until the two pirates destroyed it for good and snared the Wise Men. When the Lily Carnation died, Kerodeek became a plant.
