Kevin
CharacterKevin is the man tasked with keeping the Ox Bell at Marineford's Oris Plaza polished. He appears in the game One Piece Odyssey, where his lost cleaning cloth sends the Straw Hats on a small errand.
Appearance
Kevin is tall and gangly with a drawn-out face, round eyes, and oversized hands. Purple hair and a matching purple mustache stand out, along with a purple bandana tied around his head. His clothes run to a black v-neck shirt edged in white at the sleeves and collar, a brown belt, purple trousers, and black boots reaching up to his calves.
Personality
Kevin throws himself into his work, sinking into gloom whenever he cannot do it. Even so, the job never comes before people: he agreed with Franky that a craftsman's tools matter less than another's wellbeing, choosing to seek a new cloth rather than leave kittens out in the cold.
Abilities
Kevin's duty is to clean the Ox Bell in Oris Plaza at Marineford, and he is choosy about working only with high-grade cloths. Following the Summit War, he sat slumped before the bell, despondent over losing his cleaning cloth to a stray dog, and asked the passing Straw Hat Pirates to recover it. They returned with a different, worn cloth, explaining the dog had given the original to a mother cat warming her kittens, and asked him to let her keep it. Kevin consented and resolved to find a replacement, then realized the cat's old cloth was ideal for polishing and kept it instead.
