Appearance

The joke of his design is the mismatch: a tiny baby's body topped with a full-grown copy of Kuzan's head. His entire outfit amounts to a diaper plus a duplicate of Kuzan's signature sleeping mask.

Personality

Mint Kotori is convinced he actually is the admiral he parodies. Mirroring Kuzan's manner, he dismisses Chinpy and the rest of the crew as mere children, an irony given that he is an infant himself.

Abilities

He owns no Devil Fruit, but he mimics Kuzan's ice powers anyway. He carries real fighting strength, and teamed with Pink Koinu and Lemonade Kozaru he proves capable of halting Chinpy. His signature move, Kori, simply means "Ice": he mashes a frozen scoop of ice cream straight into an opponent's face.
