History

Ranking as a Marine captain gave Moore authority over his subordinates, but he was never seen trading blows. After the Straw Hats exposed his Chief Petty Officer Minchey as a traitor, Moore let the pirates pick where they would fight, and Luffy chose a fog-shrouded stretch of sea. The moment Moore sailed his ship into that fog, he ran aground and was wrecked.
