Pato

In the animal shape he wears most often, Pato resembles a little raccoon dog under tan fur, dark patches circling his eyes and marking his ears, with a red nose in the middle. A large, bushy tail banded in brown and gold sweeps out behind him. He keeps the hood of a pink leaf-printed coat raised at all times, the jacket clasped by one yellow button near the collar and hanging open lower down to expose his belly, blue trousers finishing the outfit. His petite frame and big head invite constant comparisons to Chopper's Brain Point. In truth, beneath the disguise, he is a pen.

Forgetfulness defines Pato, who needs the same things spelled out for him over and over. He is also gentle and tirelessly cheerful, helping the Straw Hats simply because he wishes to. His regard for his master runs deep, and he calls Patrick Redfield by the title Boss Red. As with many figures in the series, he owns a trademark laugh, "Nukiki," which puns on the tanuki he resembles.

His brute power has never been gauged because he has not fought a soul, but his endurance is clearly high: Redfield once booted him the full length of Trans Town and into a building, and Pato sprang up again before long. Thanks to his Mythical Zoan fruit he can flip between his pen form and that of a bake-danuki, although the beast shape is where he stays nearly always. The same fruit lets him scrawl on leaves to convert them into items or people, using his tail's tip as a writing tool while transformed. He and Redfield struck up a friendship before Redfield was shut away in Impel Down, after which Pato fell in with the Straw Hats to keep hunting for him. Through the game he steered Luffy across Punk Hazard, a Crocodile-held desert, and Drum Island, only to spot Redfield perched on Drum Castle beside a clone of Pato himself. Faced with a choice between the Straw Hats and his fidelity to Redfield, Pato watched Luffy turn him down.
