Nodoi Wakan
CharacterAmong the Beasts Pirates' Waiters, Nodoi Wakan stands guard over the Prisoner Mine in Wano's Udon region. Lacking honor and short on strength, he lunges at a chained Kawamatsu only to be cut down himself.
Occupations
Appearance
Wakan stands at a typical height but carries a thick, heavy frame. The green hair on his head is arranged to jut out from beneath his helmet's crown. His purple shirt hangs open to expose his chest, gray pauldrons cap each shoulder, and dark green pants cover his legs.
Personality
Like the rest of the Waiters, Wakan keeps no code of honor. Striking down an opponent who cannot defend himself troubles him not at all, so long as the kill brings him a share of glory.

History
Strength is not Wakan's strong suit. The instant a fishbone drove into his neck he gave way, and his defeat came quickly after. In a fight he leaned on a sword, raising it in a bid to finish Kawamatsu.
The Prison Mine fell into chaos when Monkey D. Luffy staged his breakout, and amid the upheaval Kawamatsu's cage burst open. Following the order of Warden Babanuki, Wakan teamed with Hippan Natte and Neoki to put down Kawamatsu while he remained handcuffed. As Wakan closed in for the kill, Kawamatsu spat out a fishbone that lodged in his neck and froze his advance. Raizo then hurled Kawamatsu's blade into the cage, and armed with it Kawamatsu put down all three Waiters.
