Lacos

Broad-shouldered and standing well above average height, Lacos carries the build of a fighter. A strip of cloth wraps his brow, beneath dark brown locks. His complexion runs pale, and he favors a shirt colored in white and red.

At first glance Lacos comes across as harsh and resentful, a temper rooted in the pirate assault his community once endured. That bitterness masks a kind and honorable heart, however. He holds deep affection for Maya and the rest of the islanders, and he later owns up to the Straw Hats for condemning them on sight simply because they sail under a pirate flag. When his home is threatened, he readily steps into danger to shield it.

Years earlier, when raiders descended on Asuka Island, Lacos and his neighbors fought back without success until Saga drew strength from the Shichiseiken. The cursed sword cleared out the invaders but then bent Saga and the Marines to its will, turning them against the very people they had saved. When the Straw Hat Pirates arrive during the events of the film, Lacos greets them with hostility despite Sanji urging calm, and he clashes with Bismarck once the Marines attack, eventually being struck down by Boo Kong into the ruins of an ancient altar.

Recovering under Maya's care and burning with guilt over his failures, Lacos softens toward the crew, sharing a meal and apologizing for his misjudgment. He helps recount the legend of the Red Moon and the sword's hold over Saga, and joins the plan to perform the sealing ritual. Paired with Sanji, he fights off the Marines at Komon and helps place one of the orbs to strengthen the barrier. With Saga freed at last, Lacos stands with Maya, Izaya, and the others to watch the Straw Hats sail away.
