Moai
CharacterMoai sails as one of the crew serving under Eustass Kid. Debuting amid the Wano Country events, he stands among Kid's loyal followers and openly worries about his captain's safety during the heated showdown against Big Mom on Onigashima.
Appearance
Size sets Moai apart first: he is a large man whose pale hair is pulled back into a ponytail. A worn, light-colored tank top hangs from his frame, and he piles on accessories that include a beaded necklace, a spotted bandana, and a beaded belt, with his trousers riding low. When the Digitally Colored Manga gave him a palette, it reused the scheme from Compo's anime design, a decision born of how closely the two characters resemble one another.
Personality
Not much about Moai's nature has come to light so far. What the story does make plain is his devotion to his captain and his sincere concern for Kid's well-being.
History
Through the Wano Country arc, Moai was among the Kid Pirates looking on as their captain faced Big Mom across the Live Floor of Onigashima. After Kid's railgun blast failed to bring her down on the first try, Moai joined the crewmates pressing him to fall back, counsel their captain simply ignored. His likeness to Compo bred lasting uncertainty about which of the pair he was, a mix-up the anime credits eventually settled, while the Digitally Colored Manga only worsened it by handing him Compo's exact coloring.
