Back

Mario is a brown stray that turns up in Dressrosa, remembered for one mischievous moment: yanking the arm clean off a living toy citizen and dashing away with the stolen limb while its frantic owner gave chase.

Appearance

Floppy ears and a studded red collar mark this small dog, whose coat is a plain shade of brown. Nothing about him suggests anything beyond an ordinary neighborhood animal.

Text Size

Personality

Playful and impossible to fence in, he treats the world as his own. His thieving sprint after grabbing a stuffed local's arm shows a creature ruled entirely by impulse rather than any sense of restraint.

History

During the Dressrosa Arc, the dog snatched an arm off one of the island's living toys and raced away with his prize, the victim trailing behind and clutching at his own spilling stuffing the whole way. The anime stretches the gag further: once Sugar fell unconscious and her Hobi Hobi no Mi spell broke, the toy finally cornered Mario, reclaimed the arm, and reverted to human form, leaving the startled dog to bolt in a panic.
