Macro

As a pelican eel fish-man, Macro is defined by his enormous jaw and protruding lower lip, which juts out so far when his mouth is shut that he seems to be tilting his face upward. Opened, his lower jaw gapes to a width far out of proportion with his head, lined with fangs below and molars above. Anchor tattoos mark his two large forearms, and he typically sports a jeweled necklace over an open jacket. The sun emblem of his old crew, the Sun Pirates, sits on his chest, and he stands somewhat taller than Hatchan.

Among his companions Macro is reckoned the thinker of the bunch, and he laughs with a distinctive "Mohahahaha." Though he once rode with Fisher Tiger, the fish-man who battled slavery, neither Macro nor his two partners feel any guilt about selling their own kind into bondage. He was not always so hard-hearted, however. During his Sun Pirates days he grew genuinely fond of the freed slave girl Koala, and when she went home to her village he was left grieving her absence.

An orphan raised in the Fish-Man District before its decline, Macro carried a cruel streak even in his Sun Pirates years, willing like Arlong to harm or kill humans against Fisher Tiger's teachings. The exception was young Koala, whom he defended from Arlong's bullying and tearfully begged to stay aboard. After she returned home, Marines ambushed the crew, costing them their ship and mortally wounding Tiger; following his death and Arlong's capture, Macro answered to Jinbe. Once Jinbe joined the Warlords and Arlong was freed, Macro, Gyaro, and Tansui broke away to form the Macro Pirates.

Strolling the seafloor, Macro ran into his old friend Hatchan and traded him a map said to lead to legendary Takoyaki sauce in exchange for the mermaid Camie, whom he secretly meant to sell. Hatchan returned enraged, thinking the map a fraud, and thrashed the gang, though Macro insisted the sauce truly sat inside the giant squid the map pointed to. The beating freed Camie, who chose to follow Hatchan. From then on Macro's crew tried again and again to snatch her back, foiled by Hatchan every time, until after their thirtieth defeat they recruited the Flying Fish Riders.

With that alliance they finally captured Hatchan, planning to lure Camie in and sell the octopus fish-man as well. Their ambush snared Camie once more at the Riders' base, but Luffy pulled her free, and a freed Hatchan again sent the whole gang flying with a single punch. In the non-canon film Stampede, Macro and his crew turned up among the guests at the Pirates Festival.
