Mr. 9

A golden crown rides atop his red hair, and his agent number is scrawled across both cheeks. He favors a green suit edged in white lace with a frilled red scarf, an outfit that lends him the air of royalty he is not. Two years on, his hair grows out and a thin mustache appears; he swaps in a longer scarf, scrubs away the numbers, and drops the lace trim, though the same crown stays put.

Brimming with self-assurance, he holds friendship and loyalty in unusually high regard for a Baroque Works agent. His parting line to a comrade is the catchphrase "Bye bye, baby," which he used right before throwing himself in front of Mr. 5 so Vivi could run. Where the Officer Agents treat closeness as weakness, he was glad to fight on Vivi's behalf, revealing a genuinely heroic streak. He also carries a streak of vanity, styling himself as a prince and turning courtly gestures absurd, bowing grandly or raising his pinky to lift an object.

His rank as a Frontier Agent reflects real ability, and he pairs a flexible, acrobatic body with a pair of steel bats to deliver his blows. Cartwheels and leaps feed momentum into strikes he calls his "acrobatics," and the bats conceal steel cords for binding foes, the move dubbed Kattobase Shikomi Bat, while his powered swing is the Nekketsu Nine Konjo Bat. He also wielded a bazooka at Reverse Mountain. Even so he ranks as a weak combatant: his tricks meant nothing against an Officer Agent like Mr. 5, and he once tumbled off a building unaided while battling Zoro. His relationship with Vivi began as a smooth working partnership, and he later stood between her and Mr. 5 because he valued that bond. With Miss Monday he started as a fellow agent at Whisky Peak before the two became a couple over the timeskip.
