Appearance

Even measured against true giants, Nangi is enormous, dwarfing Jack, who already stands over eight meters. His design draws heavily on the oni of old Japanese artwork: a broad frame, a gaping mouth crowded with sharp teeth, and a pronounced pair of upper canines. Curly green hair and a matching beard frame round eyes, a wide nose sits at the center of his pale face, and two small horns top his head. A massive tiger pelt covers his lower half, rendered in the anime as a pair of shorts.

Personality

Nangi stays loyal to the Beasts Pirates, marching out with the forces sent to meet Kaidou's attackers, and he laughed at the sight of the Mink Tribe entering their Sulong state. Like the rest of the Numbers, he carries a signature laugh tied to his name and his number, cackling 'Nagigigi.'

Abilities

His colossal frame gives Nangi raw physical power well past that of an ordinary fighter. For a weapon he swings a long, spiked metal club modeled on Kaidou's own kanabo. His origins lie in a Punk Hazard experiment from more than twenty years earlier, an effort to revive the ancient giants that ultimately failed. Kaidou recruited the surviving test subjects, who took up residence on Onigashima and formed the group known as the Numbers. Five days ahead of the Fire Festival they returned to Wano through Mogura Harbor alongside Scratchmen Apoo. During the festival raid, Nangi joined Jack and a large platoon on the Skull Dome roof, standing with Kaidou against the transformed minks, and after a brutal clash he was defeated. The manga leaves his conqueror unclear, while the anime credits Shishilian with the win.
