MAX Marx

Marx stands tall and powerfully built, broad across the shoulders with thick arms set above noticeably slim legs. Dark hair of medium length frames a face marked by a mustache, beard, widow's peak, and full lips. Ink decorates him as well, a tattoo on his neck and another running the length of his left arm.

The story offers only a glimpse of his temperament, as he stood among his crewmates utterly stunned at the sight of the sky island Skypiea.

His job aboard the ship was to keep Roger and the whole crew fed. Forty-four years before the present he already sailed with the Roger Pirates, taking part in a raid on the Kuja Pirates meant to win Shakuyaku over to the crew; when a vessel carrying Garp drew near, Roger rallied everyone against the Marines. Two years later, after Roger announced they would press on with recruiting Shakuyaku, he asked Marx to bring him food. Word that the captive Shakuyaku had been taken to God Valley sent the crew there, where they fought the Rocks Pirates, Marines, and assorted smaller crews in what became the God Valley Incident; once Rayleigh freed her himself, Roger ordered the rest to cover their escape and seize the island's treasure. Later, after riding the Knock Up Stream, Marx stood among the awestruck crew gazing at Skypiea, and he sat in on a meeting about the final stretch of the Grand Line. When the Roger Pirates broke up, his fate became a mystery. Shanks indirectly references him back in an early Buggy flashback, suspecting Buggy of pilfering the cook's food.
